Kristin and Katie: Our Girlfriends? – Page 4

“Let’s let them decide.” Noah said, looking at Kristin with a smile. We walked over to them, and Noah said, “All righty now. It’s up for you girls to decide who you want to be your date.”

“Him.” They both said at the same time, pointing to me. I shrugged my shoulders and looked at him. It was decided that Kristin and I were to go together, and Noah and Katie would be the other couple. The girls did look a bit older than they really were, and we looked a bit younger, which balanced us out.

In the car on the way over Noah and I sat in the front, while the two girls sat in the back. “They were just trying to make you feel good, you know. I know that Kristin wanted to pick me, but she knows that you expect her to pick you because she’s your daughter.” Noah said.

“Well, Noah, if you’re that concerned, why don’t you use NLP 2.1 on Katie when we get there?”

“Are you crazy! She’d be all over me, what with that increasing part.”

“Oh, so now you’re scared.”

“Hey, I’ve given up on love potions. All I want to invent is a garbage can that takes itself out!”

“Now there’s something practical.” I said. We neared the place where we were going, so I pulled over about a block away, and Noah and Kristin switched seats. “Okay guys and girls. It’s time for a little acting!” I stated. As we drove the rest of the way to the Night Club, Kristin moved closer to me, and I put my arm around her. Katie and Noah were in the back, and she was kissing him. Under her breath though, I could hear them talking.

“Ouch, not so tight!” Katie whispered. “You’re hurting me.”

“Sorry.” He replied. We pulled up, and we all got out. Noah had lipstick all over his face.

“Here you go Noah.” I said, handing him a handkerchief. “I think you’d better wipe your face off.” He took it, and proceeded to do so. We went around to the back to meet the girls, and then I put my arm around Kristin’s back, and Noah put his arm around Katie’s shoulders. We walked into the club, where a prominent jazz musician was playing, and sat down at one of the tables.

“Gee. I’ve never been in one of these before!” Katie stated.

“Yeah, it’s kinda neat.” Kristin said, with a giggle.

“Girls, behave yourselves.” I stated. Just then, a tall waiter walked over, and winked at Katie. Katie shrunk back a little and giggled.

“Did you just make a pass at my girl?” Noah asked the waiter. Turning to me, he asked again, “Did he just make a pass at my girl?” Turning to Katie, “Did he just make a…”

“Yes. I just made a pass at your girl. What are you going to do about it?” The waiter replied.

“Nothing,” I replied. “Settle down, Noah. Settle down.” I said, trying to hold Noah down.”

“Settle down! He just made a pass at my girl!! Why I oughta…” Noah replied.

“You oughta what?” He said, getting in Noah’s face.

“I oughta back off, and leave you alone.”

“I thought so. What’ll it be?” We placed our orders, and he left. Needless to say, it wasn’t the standard night club order.

After the meals came, Kristin spotted two men walking in the back room. “There.”

“What?” I asked.
