"You were so totally flirting with that girl!" Kathryn teased J. While everyone else was at the movies Kathryn and J were wandering around London looking for a nice, cheap flat.
"I was not!" J replied in his defense.
"Oh whatever! you were too!"
"If you think that was flirting then you've never seen me in action." J said cheekily.
"You are so full of yourself." Kathryn said as she flipped through the newspaper and looked up at the street address. "It says there's one here in this building. 'Nice 2 bedroom 2 bath flat. Kitchen, living, very affordable, nice location. see Julie between 12-5.' Let's go." Kathryn grabbed J's hand and pulled him inside.
"If you wanna see flirting you're gonna get flirting." J whispered in her ear as they rode up in the lift.
"Fine you flirt with this girl all you want." J just smiled at her. Boy was Kathryn in for a surprise. They reached the apartment and knocked on the door. A few seconds later the door was opened by a short brown-headed girl.
"Hi, can i help you?" she asked.
"Are you Julie?" Kathryn asked.
"Yes. Oh i'm so stupid. You must be here about the apartment. Sorry about that. Come in, don't mind the mess." Julie opened the door and let the two people inside. When they were out of the shadows of the hallway she recognized one of them.
"OH MY GOODNESS! YOU'RE J BROWN FROM 5IVE!!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!" Kathryn tried to keep from laughing. This was about the umpteenth time this had happened to them that day.
"Yes, we love ourselves too." He told the girl. She just smiled more and giggled. Kathryn wanted to throw-up right then.
"CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH? YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!!!"
"Sure you can, if..." he told her.
"If...."
"If you show me and my girlfriend around your flat. See we need to find one that's just right for our uh, hmm, how do i put this, um personality. Isn't that right honey-bun?" Kathryn stared at J wide-eyed as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Sure whatever you want." Julie told them. She eyed Kathryn suspiciously and began to show them the flat. Occasionaly J and Kathryn would add a comment or ask something about the apartment. Usually J's comments would go something like this, "Do your neighbors tolerate a lot of noise?" or "How big is the bedroom? Can we fit a king-size bed in there?". Everytime Kathryn would hit him and tell him to shut-up. But eventually Kathryn had lightened up and played along.
"Yes. The kitchen. Where exactly do the windows look out at? Is it a crowded area or deserted? Do you have any of the special glass that only you can see out?" Kathryn asked.
"Why?" Julie asked suspiciously.
"Uh, we can't tell you that." J said cheekily looking down at Kathryn. The two sent eachother flirtatious glances and held on to eachother tighter.
"I don't know. I never did anything secret in the kitchen. Look, do you want the flat or not?" Julie said obviously annoyed with the two.
"Yes, yes, Kathryn wants the flat. When can she move in?" Kathryn let J handle all the details of the flat. She wasn't very smart when it came to that type of stuff. As they left the flat Julie sent Kathryn icy stares. She never did get her autograph.
