We get up in the morning, and to be honest I wasn't thinking last night,but now I am. What does Kat want, is she just reaching out for friends? I know she really hasn't had many since her friends on the base all got re-assigned. She told us that much the other night.
"Ezzie, does Karen know what she wants?" I ask.
"No Ben, other than when they were getting washed up, and you fell asleep. Karen told her to not be a stranger, and to call or text if she needed or wanted to talk,". Says Ezzie.
We get to the restaurant and Kat already has a table. Her son is sitting on a booster seat beside her. She introduces us to her son. "John, these are Mommy's friends, Ben & Karen."
"HI!" He says. He is very excited.
Karen hugs Kat, and smiles at John. She is taken with him. She starts talking to him about the coloring he is doing on the placemat. We sit and start just chit chatting. After ordering breakfast, John colors.
We start talking a little more seriously. "I spent yesterday while John was napping, going through some old stuff." And Kat stops.
Karen reaches out, and takes her hand. "What old stuff, Kat?"
Kat's eyes are a little glassy. She wipes at them. "Things John and I used to use. Things I wish we had the other night."
"Oh Sweetie." Karen says. "I am sorry if we um...". She looks at John Jr. "...stirred things up."
Shit I feel bad again. I stirred all these emotions with Ezzie. "No, don't be. I sooo needed it." Says Kat as she looks at her son. "While he was napping, I looked through the boxes, and talked to John. I haven't talked to John in a long time. I needed to. It ended with me, um taking care of myself on the basement floor with one of his favorites."
Karen squeezes her hand. "I am not sure if I want to say you go girl, or I am sorry?"
Kat smiles. "Oh it was a really nice you go girl. That's why I texted you. I don't want the other night to be a one time thing. I don't want to have to shut it down again." She looks around and lowers her voice. "I want to serve a Master again,and maybe a Mistress."
Karen looks a little shocked. "If you would like to try it." Says Kat.
Just then the waitress comes over with the food. That kills the conversation. John isn't concentrating on his coloring. He is trying to eat, needing a little help, and looking at everyone else's plates to see what he can ask for.
Kat just smiles at John as he asks Karen for bacon. She breaks a piece in half and he woofs it down. Kat points him back to his food and shakes her head smiling at him. He has kids French toast sticks, with syrup in a dipping cup to help limit the mess. It doesn't. We are done and Kat takes him to the ladies room to wash up. I waive my card to pay for things while she is gone. It's all signed and paid for by the time Kat returns.
Kat is asking for the check. The waitress looks at me. "He took care of it."
Kat looks at me. "Ben, let me give you some money." I refuse. She persists.
I stare at Kat. "Do I have to say it again? Master..". I let it hang for a moment. "...card paid for it."
Kat's eyes go down a bit. "Thank you Sir." She says quietly.
Kat looks at us like she is trying to decide something. "Ezzie, what is Kat thinking?"
"She knows Karen is going back to school and part of her wants to ask Karen to allow her to be your submissive until she graduates." Says Ezzie.
Holy Shit!! Umm I am not even sure what to say to that. We are walking out and there is a coin operated horse for kids to ride. "John, do you want to ride the horse?"
Of course he does. I take his hand from Kat. "Ezzie, have Kat ask Karen her question." I almost run to the ride with John.
"Yes Ben."
I glance back and Karen has a surprised look on her face. I notice the horse is slowing down. Nope. No it's not. I give it another $1 bill.
"Ezzie what's going on with them?"
"Kat is very nervous, but has asked. Karen was surprised by the question, but is thinking about it, and coming to talk to you." Says Ezzie.
Oh shit! The girls come over. Karen loops her arm in mine. "So I guess John has a play date to go to and Kat is going to be all alone for a few hours. We are going to keep her... company for a while." Karen says with a smile as Kat scoops up John.
Karen hugs Kat and tickles John. Karen tells her we will meet her at her house. I was not expecting this. Is Karen going for this?
Ezzie speaks up in my head. "Karen is thinking yes. She is thinking she has Beth, you should have someone. She finds it a little strange that she trusts Kat not to steal you, but she does.
We get in the car and I put Kat's address in the GPS. What the fuck. Let's open this can of worms. "So what was that about?" I ask.
Karen looks at me and thinks. "I think it's a solution to your frustration problem."
"My what?" I ask.
"The other day on FaceTime you were missing me something fierce. You told me I have Beth, which is true. I think you need someone."
I am confused. "I am sorry, What? Are you saying what I think you are?" I ask.
Karen smiles at me. "What do you think I am saying?"
"Uh uh. That's a trap, that I am not stepping into. Please explain it to me." I say.
"Kat, like us, has needs and desires. Somehow we woke something in her, and I think we/you should help her with that. Maybe when you get frustrated she can help you too." Karen says.
