Ch 10: The Date

"Say, Kara..."

"Yeah?"

"Are you..." Braedey swallowed nervously. He'd fought warlords, criminals and psychopaths; why did this make him so nervous? "Are you doing anything this Saturday?"

Kara's eyes went wide. 'Is he going to...?'

"Uh, no," she said, cursing herself for her sudden nervousness, "I'm free this Saturday, why?"

"Well, I was kinda hoping you'd like to see a movie that just came out, plus there's this restaurant that opened up near the theater that looks good. Do you want to go?" Braedey mentally applauded himself for managing to look Kara in the eye while asking.

'Oh my god,' thought Kara, 'he's asking me out! I can't believe it! Yes! Wahoo!'

"Uh, Kara?" Braedey asked, "You okay?"

Embarrassed, Kara realized that she'd been staring at Braedey for several moments, not moving.

"Um, yeah! I'd love to!" Kara couldn't keep the smile, nor the blush, from appearing on her face.

"Great! See you Saturday!" With an equally strong smile and blush on his face, Braedey turned to leave.

Kara also began to head to the house, when she heard Braedey's voice.

"Oh! I almost forgot!"

Kara turned to see Braedey heading towards her. Before she could ask what was doing, he had pressed his lips against her cheek. The kiss only lasted for a moment, before Braedey backed up, turned into Dreadwing, and flew off. Kara stood on the porch for a minute, stunned, before pumping a fist and spinning around.

"Yahoo!"

Kara could barely contain her excitement as she rushed to her room; Braedey had asked her out! She couldn't believe it; after telling herself that she had to wait for Braedey to really heal before she could even begin to hope, he'd not only asked her out, but he'd kissed her!
