Just To See Her

~~~~Chapter 45~~~~


"God, Nickolas, you tire me out!" Kathy collapsed on the couch in exhaustion. They had spent the rest of the day in the yard with the dogs, walking and swimming. "Well I hope you're not too tired?" Nick's voice carried a teasing tone. "I did have plans for tonight." Kathy moaned in mock protest. "Rest! I need rest!" Nick plopped down on the couch and shifted until he was sitting beside her. "Anything you desire my lady, but I must have you!" "I am yours, sir!" Kathy grinned and leaned in for a kiss. "I love you." Nick whispered. "Me too." she replied. "You love you too?" he giggled and Kathy hit him with a sofa cushion. "Yes, I love me a lot, I glad you do too!" They kissed again and snuggled together. "Shall we listen to some TV?" Kathy had fallen into the habit of removing her glasses and listening to the TV like Nick had to. If there was something she really was interested in she would put her glasses on, but it made her feel that much closer to him without them.

"What's on?" Kathy flipped through the guide. "Not much, hmm, well here's something. Some guy is turning himself into a tiger on Ripley's Believe it or Not." Nick shrugged. "Go for it. You can tell me how idiotic he looks. Probably like that lizard guy. Did you ever see him?" Nick launched into a description of the man he saw on the show that was making himself look like a lizard. "Ugh." she replied. "Disgusting. Totally disgusting." The show was starting and Kathy slipped her glasses off. She rested her head on Nick's shoulder and shut her eyes. This was so nice. It felt right and wonderful. She was glad they had let their friendship grow before anything sexual had happened between them. They would never lose their friendship. She dozed in and out of a catnap, catching bits and pieces of the show. Nick nudged her gently. "I think the tiger guy is coming on next, tell me what he looks like."

Kathy yawned and retrieved her glasses. The show returned from the commercial and Kathy sat up with interest. "Listen to this Nick!" The next feature was about a blind man that was a karate champ and a goalie for a hockey team. "Wow." Nick marvelled. "How does he do that?" Kathy remained silent, watching the end of the segment. "Amazing." she uttered. "That is so cool!" Nick agreed. "Was he really playing hockey?" Yes, he was, and very well too." Kathy pulled a pad of paper from the end table. "You could use a lot of the things he does in hockey in concert." she told him. She began writing, the tiger man forgotten. "You think I could dance and stuff?" Nick wondered. Kathy looked up at him and smiled. "You, love, can do anything you think you can!"

They arrived at the arena in the morning a few minutes late. Nick indeed had made plans for the night before and they both slept through the alarm. Kathy shook off the catcalls from AJ and Howie and giggled when Nick blushed slightly. "Did you bring the notes?" he asked, as he pulled his running shoes on. "Yes, I have them here." She looked up on stage. "Brian? Is Fatima here?" Brian ran to get her from behind the curtain. Kathy helped Nick up on stage and introduced herself. "I don't mean to push, or intrude, but Nick and I had a few ideas last night and I was wondering if I could share them with all of you?" The guys nodded and pulled up chairs for everyone. Kevin took Nick's elbow and led him to one beside Kathy. Fatima agreed eagerly. "If it will make Nick comfortable, by all means. Kevin told me you have been blind yourself, so you know more than I do." Kathy and Nick told the others their ideas and Kathy was pleased to see smiles and nods of agreement. "Those are great ideas!" Fatima praised. "Let me go to the sound booth and see if we can get something set up for today and try it out." "I saw that show last night myself." Kevin told them. "I thought that man was amazing." "He was." Kathy agreed. "Did you see the tiger guy?" Nick groaned in disappointment. "We were so excited about these ideas we forgot all about him!" The small group laughed. "We can do it!" Fatima hollered up to them. "Just a few more minutes!" "Tell us about him, Kev." AJ prompted. "And then we get back to work as a group again!"
