Thanks for the reviews! I'm always looking for new ideas, so you can pitch them to me and I'll see what I can do!

Chapter 18: Kitty

"Blow your candles! Blow them", Remy laughed when he had placed the cake on the table. Kitty, who was wearing a silly party hat, smiled and watched all the eighteen candles the cake held. This was the moment she had been waiting for. The freedom to do whatever she wanted. No parents, no limits.
Finally, Kitty took in the breath and then blew it out. All of the candles went out one by one. Remy clapped his hands and watched her.
"You're eighteen now. How does it feel?" he was first to ask.
"Amazing", Kitty laughed. "Want some cake?"
"Yeah, sure, but it has to a small piece. I have to go to work", Remy informed her. She didn't look happy, in fact, she wasn't.
"You're not gonna stay and party with me?"
Kitty didn't know anybody else. She felt alone every time he was away. All she had done during the days, was practicing her dance moves. Remy had said she was getting better, she was getting ready. But there was still one more thing she had to do before he would take her back to the club to try the job out. He still hadn't told her what it was but had promised to tell it tonight.

"I'm sorry. I really have to go", he was being honest and looked Kitty with apologizing face.
"It's okay. You have to do your job. And soon, who knows, maybe we can go to the club together", Kitty was hopeful. Remy laughed it off, not telling her yet whether she should be hopeful or not. "Okay, so..." Kitty mumbled and sliced a piece to him.
"Thank you", Remy took it and grab a spoon too. "So... you're not going to be alone tonight."
"What do you mean? You said you were going to the club", Kitty was confused.
"Yeah, I am. But... remember when I told you that you had to do one more thing before I knew you were ready?" Remy asked.
"Of course", Kitty nodded and took a slice too.
"Well, this is it. I have to know if you are willing to do it with a stranger", Remy told her. "And I know it sounds insane, but... that's what it is. If you really want to work on that club, anyone can come in, you probably won't know him, and when they do, they want something. And you will know for a fact what it is what they want. So you have to be ready for that."
Kitty nodded. She had been hoping he would've noticed her admiration already. She was crushing on him and was dreaming that he would notice and they would kiss and make love.
"Of course. I totally understand", Kitty said.
"Good. So I asked a buddy of mine, Bobby, to come around here. I don't care what you do, but if you are serious about getting that job, then... you'll know what you have to do", Remy made it clear.
"Yeah, okay", Kitty said and felt butterflies in her stomach. Bobby. What kind of name was that? Was he an old man?

The doorbell rang.
"That's probably him", Remy said, eating the cake. He left to open the door and Kitty felt herself dizzy. This was it. It was time to prove that she had what it took. Remy came back and Kitty's curious eyes noticed the person who was following him. It was not an old guy, it was... actually a quite cute guy. He had that baby face thing going on with his ocean blue eyes and innocent smile. This didn't seem so bad. Easy peasy.
"Okay. So... I better get going. Have fun, you kids", Remy said and smiled to both of them, leaving them behind. When the door closed behind him, Kitty and Bobby stared at each other.
"Hi..." Bobby said, tucking his hands to his pockets. "I'm Bobby."
"Hi... I'm Kitty", she said and smiled. "So... you do know what's going on, right?"
"Yeah", Bobby nodded. "Have you done this before?"
"Done what? You mean like, have sex?" Kitty asked and Bobby nodded. "Yeah, couple of times. But... never with a stranger."
Bobby nodded.
"Do you want some cake?" Kitty offered first, hoping she could get to know him better.
"Sure, why not", Bobby said and came closer.

After a while, when they had finished with the cake eating, hardly saying a word, they both moved to Kitty's bedroom. It was obvious they were nervous, but both of them tried to go through with this anyway.
They sat on the bed and Bobby put his hand on her side. They looked in each other's eyes.
"Just relax", Bobby said and Kitty nodded. He leaned in first and she came closer. Their lips met and it was really awkward at first, but they tried their best. The couple took their time with the kissing, because it was the best way to set the mood. Somewhere between the kissing and caressing, they laid down on the bed, fondling underneath the clothes. It wasn't that bad, but all Kitty could imagine was Remy. Bobby seemed like a nice kid and he was a gentleman but something was off.
"You know what", Kitty stopped him. "I don't know about this..."
She knew she took a huge risk with this. Kitty knew that if she couldn't do it, then she wouldn't probably get the job. Bobby looked at her.
"What's wrong? Is it something that I did...?" he asked and was worried.
"No, no", Kitty shook her head. "I just... I don't know. This just feel... weird."
"Oh... So you suggest we say to Remy that we did, when we didn't?" Bobby asked.
Kitty looked at him.
"No... Let's not lie to him. If I can't do this, then I'm never gonna be able to pull it off anyway. You're a really nice guy and if anything, I should be glad to do it with you but... I don't think I can do this."
"It's okay", Bobby calmed her. "We don't have to."
"Thanks. Thank you for understanding", Kitty was relieved. Bobby smiled.
"You know what, I have two tickets to movies. Would you like to go?" he asked. Kitty was confused.
"Why...? I mean..."
"It's your birthday. No one should be alone on their birthday", Bobby said. Kitty smiled and wasn't sure why. Maybe because Bobby was so nice to her and this wasn't so awkward anymore.
"Okay, sure, why not", she laughed a little bit. She really didn't want to be alone, so she accepted the invitation. She could use some change from the dancing. Besides, what could possible happen in the movies?
