Play the long game -Sit with Katie

I couldn't leave her alone like this, I slumped down against the wall so that was sitting right by her side. With her skirt and sleeveless top on, her body looked cold. She only moved her hands away from her face to see that I had joined her, "What are you doing Leo?"

"I... I just wanted to see how you were, is everything okay?"

She let out somewhat of an exhausted chuckle, "Oh I'm fine, I'm fantastic," she said sarcastically.

"Is this about that night?"

Katie knew what I was talking about but she chose to ignore me again. In the back of my mind, I kept thinking about getting upstairs but my cock had to wait, this was more important to me.

We sat in a bit of silence, I was hoping she would eventually open up to me. Realising I wasn't going anywhere, she turned her head to face me, "What are you still doing here?"

I cleared my throat, "You're my friend Katie, I can't leave you here like this."

"I'm not your friend Leo..." she mumbled, "I haven't done anything to deserve your friendship, you saved my ass and I barely gave you a thank you in return."

She appeared to be annoyed with herself. But I was happy to see her at least talking now.

"You don't need to thank me,"

She shook her head, "No I did need to but let's face it, I'm not like the others, I can't give you the puppy dog attention that they do."

I had obviously noticed over the last few weeks that Katie certainly wasn't as talkative as the other girls. She didn't give me a whole lot. As for the other four, they treated me almost like a new project, in some way.

Maybe I still hadn't worked out if that was a good thing or a bad thing yet.

Remember my conversation with Milly about the way that guys saw them, I decided to use that new knowledge to try and make her feel that I understood what she deals with.

"Look, I know you have it a lot harder than what people think," I said, "I mean to go through what you did a few weeks back and have guys just know you for your... you know... your..."

"Boobs?"

"Yeah, you're boobs," I said a little awkwardly, "I did it myself and I feel embarrassed about it now."

"Leo, it's fine," she cut me off, "Yes you're right, that gets old quickly but don't put yourself in that category, there's a difference between not being able to stop staring at my tits and using me for my body while not wanting to get to know me at all."

We continued to talk a little more, until I couldn't hear anymore sniffling. I just mainly listened, chipping in here and there when I could but after what she had been through, I had the feeling she mainly just wanted someone to listen to her.

"I don't know, is it too much to ask for to have a normal date where a guy isn't trying to feel me up in the cinemas or rushing us out of a restaurant to get me to his house so he can undress me..."

"Why don't I take you on a date?"

"What?"

I couldn't believe I had suggested it, "Yeah... you, me, movies and dinner, just something nice and then I drop you home, say goodnight and then go back home myself.

Katie was smiling now, chuckling at the idea of it. But I could see she wasn't going to turn it down. Shrugging at first, she began to not, "What the hell, why not."

"It's a date then I guess," I said, having not been on a proper one in years.

With her tears officially gone, we stood up ready to return to the party. She then realised what I was here for tonight, "I'm guessing the whole plan failed tonight then for you, if you're sitting here with me."

I shook my head, remembering what I had missed out on to stay outside with Katie.

"You got with someone??" she asked.

"Uhh sort of, Monique... we uh hooked up outside but um she wanted me to meet her in a bedroom inside but then I saw you here and I kind of forgot about it."

She slapped my chest in a friendly way with a disappointed look on her face, "Why did you do that?? She would have so done whatever you wanted."

I just shrugged, my cock was certainly thinking the same thing but my heart had said otherwise.

Katie leaned in and hugged me tightly, knowing what I had just done. If that wasn't proof that I wouldn't go against my word with our date then I don't know how I could convince her.

"Maybe keep this all between us okay?" she whispered in my ear as we hugged, "It's better that way."

We shared a sweet moment.

It may have costed me the possibility of losing my virginity but instead... I had secured a date.

An actual date with one of the Saturday Night Five.
