Hesnapped his fingers as a waiter came over and smiled, looking at Alan."Your finest champagne, please," said Robert. "This is a thank you for allyour...hard work, and if you don't mind me saying, you look absolutelystunning tonight." Oh, thanks," Alan replied as the waiter poured the champagne."To the west coast, and a new start," said Robert, raising his glass."Yes, cheers. I wish you the best of luck," said Alan."Thank you Alicia," said Robert as they sipped. "This tastes as beautifulas you. Please, don't get mad at me," she pleaded. I kissed the tip of her nose."I won't get mad at you Megan... unless you're going to tell me that you don't want to sleep with me tonight after all," I teased. She giggled, a hint of nervousness in her voice."Not likely! Well, I don't know if we'll actually sleep," she teased back. Then she was serious again. I thought I knew what was coming."Please, Katoro... I know you said it wasn't necessary, but I have to apologize. Please, forgive me. What I did. ‘Let me take you to the hospital Kara.’ ‘Thank you Cadogan, but that will not be necessary. I already know what this is and why. I do not need to waste money nor take pills that will do nothing.’ ‘Well, stay here as long as you need. Do you need a phone to contact your family?’ ‘I have no family Cadogan, but thank you.’ ‘Oh. Well, considering the time, what would you like for dinner Kara?’ ‘What?’ Kara gave him a quizzical look, letting her mind entertain the thought that this guy was quite the. "Yoohoo! Paris." I waved my hand in front of her face, trying to get her attention."Sorry. I was just thinking about that stupid dance next weekend." She said, putting a spoonful of "food" into her mouth."Yeah, looks pretty lame. Who wants to spend money on clothes you're going to wear once in some gym that smells like sweat?" I guess so. But you know what would be fun?" She asked, a mischvious look on her face."No what?" If we went anyway, just to make fun of everyone. And maybe everyone could.
