Chapter 8
At the bowling place
Kate and Tony are playing their 9th party of bowling. Kate's winning. It's 12:00 P.M.
„Oh yeah!" Kate yells happily.
„I just let you win, Katie" Tony says smiling.
„No, you just can't handle that a woman is beating your spoiled..." Kate said.
„Ok, slow down, my friend." Tony says, „You're tired, and drunk."
„I'm not drunk you are!" Kate says sounding completely uncontrollable.
„No, I precisely told you I'm not gonna drink, because I'm the one driving." Tony says.
„Whatever! I wanna dance!" Kate says and starts jumping around like a crazy weirdo, but she suddenly loses her body balance and she just collapses, because she was too tired. Tony runs over to her, and hears her snoring. He picks her up and says:
„Come on, Katie, I'm taking you home!"
He put her into his car and drives her home. Luckily, he knew where she lives. He drove to her house. When he parked, he got out of the car. He checked if Kate's still sleeping. She was still sleeping, but she stopped snoring.
He took her out and placed her over his shoulder. He didn't want to wake her up. He assumed that she had her keys somewhere. He searched her bag, until he found the keys. He unlocked the doors of the house, and when he got in, he locked again. It was really dark, so he had to switch the light on. Her house had two floors. When he noticed the stairs, he climbed them. He spotted her bedroom, so he left her on the sofa that was next to her bed.
She was still asleep. He tried to make her bed. There. I did it. He tought to himself. The problem was, how is he going to get her in pajamas? I'll have to do it. He took the pajamas and placed them on the bed. He took the sleeping Kate and placed her on the bed in a half-sitting position. Oh boy. Here goes something. He thought before he took her coat off.
Since she had a dress as pajamas, he tried a clever method. He put the dress on, and then took her pants off. That way, he couldn't see her naked. He put her jeans across the sofa. He was sweating. She still had her top on, under the dress, but he left her like that. He tought she'll be warmer like that.
„Ooof, well that was easy..." He whispered.
He put her in a lying position. He covered her with a blanket. She was still sleeping. He couldn't help but to smile because he knew tomorrow in the morning she's gonna have a bad headache because of all that beer she drank tonight. He checked if all the doors were closed and locked. He sat on the sofa next to the bed, and watched her sleep for a while. As the time passed, he fell asleep too.
Next morning...
At Abby's place
Abby's coming to Kate's house so she could call her for a picnic. She first calls her on her cell phone, but she isn't responding. Abby's driving her Hearse.
Kate's house
Tony slowly wakes up on Kate's sofa.
„Where am I?" he mumbles.
He looks around him and remembers everything. He looks at Kate. She's still sleeping. He looks at his watch. It's 09:00 A.M. He silently goes to the kitchen. He searches for some Aspirin. He finds a box of them and puts two pieces in to a glass. He pours water in the glass. He goes back to Kate. She's still sleeping, but now she's wiggling a bit. He put the glass of water on her cupboard. He shook her slightly. She only turned to another side.
„Kate?" He whispered gently.
She wiggled again, but smiling. He tried to shake her again.
„Kate! Wake up..." Tony tries.
This time, she responds. She opens her eyes slowly. Her face turns pale, and the smile falls off her face. She screams panicky, but then Tony screams too. He shuts her mouth with his hand.
„Shhhh! Are you crazy?" Tony says.
„What are you doing here?" She starts panicking.
„Yesterday, when we were bowling, you had a few beers, and then, you passed out." Tony explains everything to her.
Kate blinks five times, and says:
„Really? Me?"
„Aha." Tony confirms.
„Oh My God! Why does my head hurt so bad?" She screams.
„You drank too much. Here. I made you this Aspirin, it will help you feel better."
„Thanks, Tony." She says as she drink the medicine. Kate hears a doorbell.
„Oh no, no, no, no! I think that's Abby!" Tony says feeling panicky.
„Oh, no, she can't see you here!" Kate says.
„I'll explain it all to her, don't worry." Tony assures her.
„Pff, yeah like she's gonna believe you!" Kate says.
Suddenly, they hear Abby saying I'm coming in!
„Oh, God!" Kate says.
Abby climbs the stairs.
She enters the room and says:
„Tony?"
