First off I like to thank the editor sexnovella for proofreading my scrap here, without them this scarp was junk and now on to this part if the story:
__________________________________________________
24.
Over the last three weeks, Kate and I have been putting in 16 to 20 hour days, and we have needed a day where we could 'put our hair down'. These three weeks, have been less than fun or exciting, from spending basically all the time in the office. Going over every contract that the South eastern Division has done in the past 7 years, to going over employee records and reviews. We have been trying to find any 'weak links' in our 'chain' and either helping them or getting rid of them. It hasn't been easy either, but the good thing is that the South eastern Division doesn't seem to have any 'weak links' (or at least I can see, yet). Since Asheville is a college town, it doesn't seem like any better other place to 'let out hair down' at, and with Kate deciding, it might be interesting.
As with most college towns like Asheville, it has plenty of bars and dance clubs to choose from. At about 2345, Kate has decided on a place we would be going, the club is called Xavier's. It's a typical college club, bunch if stunningly beautiful women dressed to the nines, trying to impress their latest conquest. And men dressed to the nines, trying to land their next notch in their belt.
The main floor if the club was the dance area, and the second floor was here there was a sort if restaurant where you could order some food, sit and eat. And in the 'restaurant' area there was a number of couches, where couples would make out and 'get to know' one another. And of course throughout the club there were number of bars that somebody could order a drink from.
It must have been 'little black dress night' or something, because, nine out of ten, of those stunningly beautiful women were wearing one, most of them much shorter than Kate's, but not one of them could match who whole look that she had. From her olive tan skin, her soul piercing green eyes, enormous set of breast, her hourglass figure, and her long silky-smooth legs every one of those women had something but not the whole package, like she did.
When we walked in the club, we got looks from men and women. Kate decided to wrap her arm around mine to let everybody know that she was with me that night. Every time we past somebody they looked at us, some just glance and went back to what they were doing, and someone the other hand kept glancing and some were actually staring at us.
The club was loud and packed. The music was some techno fast pace loud music, and everyone was on the floor trying to get hooked up, but we weaved our way up stairs and into one of the booths, "wow," Kate says, "it's Monday night almost midnight and the place is packed!" Almost screaming to get over the music in the background.
"Have you ever been on a college campus?!" I scream, too.
"Not really, why?" Still yelling, as she brushes her beautiful curly hair away from her face.
"The clubs on a campus are..!" Yelling, as the music has finally eased up, as I lower my tone, "they are always packed, and it doesn't matter what day it is it anything," I'm now talking in my normal voice.
"Oh, that makes sense, I was wondering later...," Kate starts to ask, as a waitress approaches us.
"Hello," in a very cheery voice the waitress say, "what can I get you?" In a southern accent.
"Um," looking at the menu, not really sure, "do you have any lemon?"
The waitress looks at me with a confused look, "yes, we do."
"K," as I'm looking at her, "I take lemon water please."
"Okay," jotting it down on her notepad, "and for you sweetie."
"I'll have something simple," as she looks at me with a sarcastic look, "I'll just take a Dr Pepper, please."
"Okay," as she writes it down, too," will you guys be eating?"
"Yes," we say in unison.
Still in her cheery mode, "okay, I'll be back to take your orders."
We both give her an appreciative nod, as the music starts up and she walks away. Kate gives me a sarcastic shake of the head.
"What?!" I say jokingly not know what she's shaking her head at me for, "I just wanted to check, some places don't have any lemon you know!" As she continues to shake her head.
We start looking at the menu, and a few minutes later it looks like Kate has decided, while I'm still trying to decide, let's see cheeseburger with fries probably, but wait they have spicy chicken sandwich, or what about the club sandwich..., as I hear somebody approach the table but I'm not paying attention.
"So, have you decided yet?" The waitress starts to asks, as the music is still going on.
"I have," Kate starts first, "but I don't think he has, I start then we can interrupt him. First off, she the club platter sandwich any good?" Asking the waitress.
"Oh yes," it's especially good with the seasoned fries," the waitress, more or less yells.
"That's sounds awesome!" As the eighteen year old surfaces again.
"Okay," as she writes in on her notepad, "honey, what can I get you, honey?"
That spicy chicken sandwich sounds really good, but I always like a good burger I don..., "oh!" I yelp as somebody has kicked me from under the table, "what the hell...?" As I look up at Kate, who shrugs over to the waitress, what was she talking to me, the waitress just stands there patiently, "oh sorry, what? Duh order right," as I look back over to Kate and back over to the waitress, "um, I'll take," as I look back over the menu, "a double cheeseburger and a seasoned fry, no tomato please." I say sweetly and loudly.
"Okay, honey," writing it down, too, "it'll be out ASAP." And with that she turns around and walks away.
The whole time as the waitress disappears into the crowd, Kate is just shaking her head at me, "what?" I ask, as she continues to shake her head, "what?!" I strain, and this puts a smile across her face, as well as mine.
Laughing to herself, "what's wrong, Aden, forgot why we are in here or something?" As she flashes that million dollar smile again.
"Something like that," I say, as I'm leaning I over the table as to whisper something to her, "to be honest, I wasn't paying attention, I could decide between the spicy chicken and the burger," I say almost embarrassed.
25.
Kate just gives me a sarcastic shake of her head, and all we can do is laugh at me. After we had stopped laughing, we just sat there looking at each other not really saying anything, just enjoying each other's company.
Outside of work, we really haven't spent any time together, other than that morning we had when I first got the promotion when we went to that 24/7 place to grab some food, after we had moved into the new office. I say to myself, as I'm looking at Katie, she's stunning tonight, what am I talking about, she's always gorgeous. Would she go out with me, or is this just a thing she's doing because I'm her boss. I could ask her, but as I told Mr Spencer weeks ago in my office, I don't want to ruin the relationship that we have now. But it could turn into something better could it not?
"Kate, I was wondering...," I start but the waitress returns with our food.
"Here you go, honey," as she places a plate of food in front of me, double cheeseburger without tomato and seasoned fries, and for you, sweetie," as she puts a plate of food in front of Kate, "a club sandwich with seasoned fries, too," then she takes a step back away from the table, "enjoy, and if you need anything," as she looks at us, "I'll be happy to get you." As she happily chimes.
"Thank you," we say in unison, and also give her an appreciative nod, as the music starts up again. She returns the nod, turns around, and walks off to other customers.
