Taking a Chance

By Lori

Kat Walker-Reed set down some drinks on a table and smiled at the customers before walking back to the bar.

�Excuse me miss?� Kat turned around and saw Shawn Douglas sitting at the bar.

�Hi Brady. Long time no see.�

�Kat? I didn�t know you worked here.�

�Yeah for about six months now.�

�Really? Oh.�

�Shawn D?� The redhead sitting next to Shawn Douglas said. �Aren�t you going to introduce us?�

�That�s not necessary. I know you already Jeannie.�

�You do?� Jeannie Donovan looked a little surprised that this girl knew who she was.

�You�re Jeannie Donovan, my stepfather�s cousin.�

�Stepfather?�

�Yeah. Jeannie this is Kat Walker-Reed.�

�Oh God you must think I�m such a ditz. I can�t believe I didn�t recognize you.�

�It�s okay. It�s been a while since we�ve seen each other. How�s Shane?�

�He�s good. Getting really big. He�s with his dad tonight.�

�His dad? Oh Ben DiMera right?�

�Right.�

�Anyway can I get you something to drink. I can�t serve alcohol. I�ll have to get Donna for that but if you want a soda I�m your girl.�

�You know what a soda would be great. I didn�t get much sleep last night. Shane�s teething so alcohol would have me asleep within minutes.�

�Okay one soda. Brady?�

�I�m driving so I�ll have a soda too.�

�Ok.� Kat filled up two glasses with coke and set them down in front of the two. �Anything else just let me know.�

�Will do.�

Kat walked away to serve her other tables and Jeannie snorted.

�What?� Sean Douglas asked.

�I now know why I didn�t remember Kat.�

�Why is that?�

�Cause I make it a point to forget trash.�

�Jeannie.�

�Shawn D that girl is trash, okay? Her mother is trash, I don�t know what Eric sees in her, and her father can�t keep his pants zipped.�

�You�re being really unfair.�

�Why cause I�m calling a spade a spade?�

�No because you don�t even know this girl and already you�ve decided she�s trash. I happen to think she�s perfectly nice.�

�Really?�

�Yes, really.�

�Well to each his own. You know I�m suddenly not hungry. You mind if we go?�

�Sure.� Shawn Douglas put some money down to cover the drinks and a tip and then followed his cousin out of the club.

Later that night near closing time Shawn Douglas walked back into the Blue Note and over to the bar.

�Excuse me?� he said to the bartender.

�Yeah?�

�Is Kat still here?�

�Yeah she�s in back. Who should I say is asking?�

�Shawn Douglas Brady.�

�Okay just a minute.� The bartender disappeared into the kitchen and Shawn Douglas drummed his fingers against the bar top.

�Hey Brady. What�s up?� Kat asked as she walked to stand in front of him.

�I was just wondering something.�

�What�s that?�

�Would you like to go out with me?�

�You sure you want to be seen with someone your cousin sees as trash?�

�What?�

�Please I know Jeannie hates me. Are you sure you want to be seen with me?�

�I like to form my own opinions on people and from all I�ve seen you�re the furthest thing from trash I�ve ever met.�

�Oh really?�

�Yeah. So what do you say? Will you go out with me?�

�Alright. When?�

�Friday?�

�Okay. I think you know my address?�

�Yeah I know it. Six okay?�

�Fine. I�ll see you then.�

�Bye.� Shawn Douglas left the club and Kat sighed. She�d been wondering when he was gonna do that.
