Chapter 4 'Girl's Night Out'
P.S. I own nothing relating to Avatar.
It was lunch time at South Pharmaceuticals. Kay was eating the salad her secretary brought up for her. She was eating but nothing was registering, nothing but how excited she was to see her friends again. It had been over two weeks since she last saw her friends, and she couldn't wait to catch up. Two meetings and a mountain of paper work to go and she would be home free. Suddenly her secretary, Aang, walked into her office.
"Sorry Miss. South, but you have an urgent call on line one!" Aang told her.
"And why couldn't this wait until I finished lunch?" She asked.
"Um it's your father he really needs to talk to you." Aang said nervously.
"Okay thanks Aang." Kay said with a smile.
As Aang left she picked up her phone receiver and pushed the flashing number one.
"Hello, Kay South speaking."
"Hey honey, it's your dad!" Hakoda announced.
"Hey dad what's up?"
"Oh nothing just calling up to see if you still had that secretary I interviewed for you?"
"Yeah I still have him; he is very good at his work! I don't think I'll ever get rid of him!" She said.
"Well I'm glad to hear it. So what's this I hear you calling the cops on your brother, and then going out and having fun while he spends a night in jail?" Her dad asked in an enjoyed tone.
"Well he stole my car so I thought a night in jail would do him some good. What do you think?"
"Hahaha I think you're right! A few hours in lock up wouldn't hurt him one bit." Hakoda laugh. "Well that's all I wanted to ask hope I didn't interrupt anything important honey."
"No just some lunch time. Well I need to get back to work so I'll talk to you later okay dad?"
"Yeah I'll see you later, have fun tonight okay?"
"Okay dad. Bye." Kay said as she hung up the phone receiver. She always enjoyed her dad's phone calls! But like she said on the phone, time for work. Oh how boring.
IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOI
Kay was in her office enjoying the last few moments of work before she could clock out and go see her girlfriends. Then she heard a knock at her door. She dropped her feet off her desk and gave the person permission to enter even though she was pretty sure who it was. Lo and behold as Aang her super secretary walks in the door. For some reason he has this huge stupid looking grin on his face.
"Hey Kay I was wondering if I could clock out now?" He asked.
"Well haven't you learned how to loosen up while on the job? Um you can leave so long as everything that needs to be done is in fact done." Kay stated.
"Yep it's all done."
"Well then you can leave after you tell me why you're so happy!" Kay said with a smile of her own.
"Oh no real reason, other than a friend of mine is in town and I have to pick them up at the airport."
"Then get your ass going."
"Yes ma'am." Aang said as he ran out of her office towards the elevator.
Kay looked at her watch and smiled, it was time to go see her friends. She got changed into more comfortable attire before going down to her car. As she drove over to The Iceberg she realized how much she had to talk about! As she slid her car into its usual parking place she got out and walked lithely into the bar. When she got in she looked directly at Zuko with a death stare. A stare that said Aang explained what he did last week and if it happened again she would kick his ass. But Zuko threw his hands up in surrender and Kay continued to the group of girls sitting at the other side of the establishment.
"Hey girls how's it going?" Kay said as she walked up to the table and the others stood up and they all took turns hugging.
"Pretty good." Toph said.
"Not bad." Replied Yue
"Absolutely amazing." Commented Suki.
Shortly after they all took seats their drinks showed up. Kay took a quick sip of her drink and noticed it was straight iced tea. The others of course had their alcoholic beverages, but after what happened last week she wasn't taking any chances. And she was happy to see Zuko thought the same thing.
"Well how did you two do on your tests?" Kay asked.
"Well I won silver in my tournament. Some crazy old bastard beat me senseless." Toph replied.
"I failed my night time exam so I didn't test out for a solo night flight yet." Yue said.
"Tough break Yue, maybe next time!" Kay said reassuringly.
"Yeah I guess, so how have you been Kay?"
"Me? I've been pretty good. You know my work, just meeting after meeting and mountains of freaking paper." Kay took a sip of her tea before continuing. "I'm just glad my new secretary is as good as he is or else I would be completely lost."
"Oooh the sexy secretary that stood up to me? You have to tell them about him." Suki responded.
"Sexy? You got a good looking male secretary? How did you manage that?" asked Toph.
"My dad interviewed him for me and he showed up two weeks ago. "
"Well what's he look like? C'mon tell us." They prodded.
"Okay calm down. Well let's see he shaves his head bald, he is fairly tall, and he is very good looking underneath his shirt!"
"Sounds like the perfect man to me." Yue said.
"No I didn't get his shirt off. Here let me explain. Last week Zuko over there fed me almost straight vodka, and got me really drunk. Aang was being the nice guy but sadly didn't know where I lived. So he took me back to his place!" Kay took another sip of her tea. "When I woke up I was laying in his bed and all I could smell was bacon."
"Oohh one of your vices. This guy is good! But are you sure he didn't try anything while you were K.?" Yue asked.
"No he didn't try anything, at all! But he made me breakfast and when I refused to let him do the dishes too he went and got a shower. I finished as he came out and all he had on was a towel! For once I found it very hard to not stare! He had one of the most chiseled bodies I've ever seen that looks good on someone of his size!"
"EEEEEE. We have to meet him! When will you bring him to girl's night?" Yue asked taking a drink of her Cosmo.
"Yeah Sugar Queen when can we meet this Mr. Amazing?" Toph asked.
"Well I mean he's an employee I can't ask him out on a date can I?"
"Sure why not? You run the damn company, why don't you make the jump this time and ask him out?" Toph pointed out.
"You girls think I should ask him out?" Kay asked unsure of herself.
"YES." They all agreed.
Kay pondered this idea for a few minutes. She hadn't really had a date in a while. In a way it could be fun but the thing stopping her was the way her dates always ended; with the guy thinking he's slick shit and trying to weasel his way into her pants. But Aang seemed different; he seemed like an honorable man. Maybe he could be civil!
"Well it's worth a shot I suppose." Kay conceded. "But I want to take him out on a 'date' date before I introduce you guys okay?"
"Oh okay, well if you must." Suki said jokingly.
For the rest of the night the girls talked about, well girl things. Suki talked about her first day on a solo patrol. How she broke a guy's arm in three places when he tried 'fighting' her over a simple speeding ticket. Toph spent most of her conversations over her new shiny belt she won at the martial arts tournament. Yue actually wanted to discuss business with Kay but Kay quickly changed the subject. The last thing she wanted to talk about was business, well that and Aang. And that was the extent of their conversations for the most part. Zuko kept filling up their drinks as they needed them and he minded his own business. By ten o'clock they decided it was time to go home, but as Kay walked up to the bar to pay the tab Zuko decided to say something:
"Hey Kay how was girls' night?" He asked innocently.
"Good, but why should you care. I didn't get plastered and throw myself at you. I don't see why you're talking to me right now." Kay said in obvious irritation at the young bar owner.
"Well I wanted to strike up conversation with small talk so I could properly apologize."
"Okay I'm listening let's hear this fantastic apology."
"Kay I am truly and deeply sorry for messing with your drinks last week. It's just, well I didn't trust the guy you were with, and what I did was a test of integrity." Zuko explained.
"A test of integrity? You're kidding right? You spiked my drinks so you could take me home, and you were worried about his integrity? Isn't that calling the kettle black you condescending jerk?"
"Ok I deserved that….."
"Deserve that no what you deserve is an ass kicking and you know I can help you with that. Let me just make one thing clear right now okay?" Kay asked and Zuko nodded. "The only reason you still have my business, and the ability to walk is because I've known you for years. That means I know how much you care about my well being and I also know how freaking horny you get. So until I see it fit I will continue to be mad at you okay?" Kay said with venom in her voice.
"Yes ma'am you be mad at me as long as you like. But before you cease speaking to me remember Mai? My girlfriend!" He said "I don't think she would like me sleeping with you!"
Kay thought about this for a moment. She forgot he had a girlfriend but she couldn't let him know she was beaten.
"Oh and you think that would have stopped you?" Kay shot back slamming two twenties on the bar. "Keep the change you prick." And then she stormed off madder than when she first went in the bar.
IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOI
Aang was in a good mood today. Why you might ask. Well because his long time friend Ty Lee was coming in! It had been years since he'd seen her and he was a little excited to see how she matured. He pulled into the airport passenger pick up and did not have to wait very long before she came skipping out of the lobby. He was leaning against his car when she exited the lobby and she dropped her suitcase to give him the hug from hell.
"Ty…..Lee…..can't…breathe!" Aang gasped as she crushed him in her arms.
"Oh sorry Aang it's just been so long since I've seen you I guess I got a little carried away!" She giggled.
Ty Lee looked at Aang when she released him. And she was very happy with what she saw. Aang had developed into quite the man. She knew from her hug that he had kept up with his martial arts and physical training as well as his devilish good looks. Aang also noticed how she had not blossomed; but exploded into a stunning hot woman with a very curvy figure. They just stood there for a few moments and stared at each other. Aang broke the silence before things got carried away.
"Well as much as I'd like to just stand around and catch up I think we should get going how about you?" He asked.
"Sure. Where to?" She asked.
"Well if you're hungry we could go out to eat. I finally figured out the lay of the land and I've gotten really used to driving in the city." Aang said with great confidence.
"Dinner would be great but I'm too exhausted from the plane ride." She said feigning exhaustion. "If it's not too much trouble could we chill out at your place tonight and eat out tomorrow?" She asked with a sly look in her eyes.
"Sure you're the guest lets go to my place."
Aang picked up her suitcase and put it in the trunk. As he crawled in the driver seat he noticed she wasn't entranced with his car like so many others. No for some reason her eyes were locked on him! This made him really nervous for some reason. There just seemed something different about her that caused him to tense up. Maybe it was the fact that she had goo-goo eyes on him but whatever the reason he needed to relax. She was his friend not a date. He pushed the uncomfortable feelings from his head, he started the engine and they were off.
When they got to his apartment building he offered to carry her luggage up the three flights. She let him do what he was raised to do knowing full well how he would feel if she told him no. As they entered Ty Lee was very impressed. For all the bigger he made it sound on the phone it was quite larger in person.
"You're staying for a week right?" Aang asked.
"Yep, one week." She said cheerfully. "I'll be leaving Tuesday morning next week. So what's for dinner?" She asked.
"Well let's go see what I have in the line of food!"
Aang went out of his way to make Ty Lee feel at home. He made her special dishes that he hadn't made in years. The food he prepared was food they often made together when he was broke during his time of living alone. It didn't take long but when he came in with the dishes of food a huge smile appeared on Ty Lee's face.
"Well I thought you forgot how to make our smorgasbord of cheap meals!" Ty Lee commented.
"What and forget how to save money? Never."
"Oh, ever the cheapskate." She giggled.
Aang sat down facing Ty Lee and they started eating. At first Ty Lee was just telling him about her recent stint in a traveling circus but they quickly changed subject towards him. And Aang felt obligated to answer her; after all she was one of his oldest friends. He told her about his most recent job. She was oddly interested in his life; he just hoped it wasn't an obsession. They talked for what seemed like hours. It was! They just never noticed, because as they finished eating they washed dishes together and put leftovers away together and just never stopped talking. As ten o'clock approached Aang tried to tell her he needed sleep but he was laughing too hard.
"Oh my God why?" Aang asked between laughs.
"Because he claimed it was a good idea at the time. The problem was he wasn't expecting the cops to show up!" She said breaking out laughing again.
"Oh my, well I'd love to keep talking tonight but we have all week to talk, and I still have work in the morning." Aang pointed out. "So you take the bed in my room and I'll sleep out here on the couch."
"No, I'll let you be chivalrous but I'm not putting you out of your bed on a work night!" She stated. "I can spend a couple nights on the sofa don't worry okay?"
"I can't do that. You take the bed I'll be fine. You're a guest and you've had a long day please I insist."
"Well Aang there is a third option for both of us." Ty Lee said shyly hoping he would pick up the hint.
"What's that?" He asked.
"Dummy we both could sleep in the bed, just like we did when we were little!"
"Um what?" Aang said in disbelief.
"You and I will sleep in the same room, on the same surface, under the same bedding. What's so wrong with that?"
"It's just I'm not sure we should do that. We're not ten years old anymore. Wouldn't that be a little weird?" He asked.
"Not unless you make it weird. Listen I'll get in the shower tonight, and then we get in your bed and go to sleep. How does that sound?"
"Ok I guess that will work." Aang admitted.
"Great I'll get in the shower right now!" Ty Lee said as she sped off towards his room. "Oh and Aang no-o-o peeking!" She said with obvious intent in her voice and with a smile that told him she didn't care if he peeked or not.
As Ty Lee got in the shower Aang seriously thought about peeking. His chances were few and fleeting. Sadly Aang was having internal turmoil. On one side he was thinking she didn't care, and that she wanted him peeking on her. But on the other side he was fighting with his up-bringing. He could not let his hormones prevent him from doing what was right, could he? Finally when the water started Aang made up his mind.
Peeking would not be tolerated! As much as his guy senses were telling him she wanted him to look, he ignored them and decided to mind his own business. After all Ty Lee was his friend and he couldn't risk his relationship with her over an invasion of privacy. So he changed and crawled under his sheets and tried to go to sleep. But just as he was drifting off into dream land something brushed up against him. Something that was still damp. He opened his eyes and immediately asked.
"Ty Lee what are you doing?"
"Well it's kind of cold in here and I thought we could well… snuggle." She said cutely.
"Snuggle," And said skeptically. "Like…."
"Use each other for extra heat!" She finished with a smile.
He thought about this for a second. And as he thought about it he began to blush. He would be lying next to a beautiful girl all night and she wanted to snuggle.
"Well if you're cold I guess it wouldn't hurt would it?" He asked innocently as he got closer to her.
Ty Lee just flat out laid on top of him. She had her head on his chest and he could swear she was purring. Well it would only be for one night right. So I might as well enjoy this, he reasoned. He was about to ask her something but noticed she was already out. So he decided to answer his own question by looking under the sheets. He sighed with relief as he saw she was wearing a nightie. Good now he could sleep without being nervous. As he slipped off into dreamland one thought popped into his head; Dude she wants to sleep with you. This one thought put a smile on his face as he drifted away.
There all done with this chapter. Hope you guys like it, and let me know what you think. Just to tell you guys I hope to have this story updated every week by Sunday, maybe if I have a bad night at work Monday. And as always…..
