After dinner, courtesy of Lee's Chinese take-out we cleared up the
containers. I got the bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon that I scoffed from my
parents and poured us each a glass.

I kept thinking, she has to know my feelings for her.  As my lips found the
edge of my glass, the warmth of the red elixir greeted me. As it wrapped
its delicate flavor around the creases of my mouth I looked on to the
object of my affections gingerly.

No amount of time would or could change the way she made me feel.

"Cass, Cass!" Katherine spoke waking me from my daydream.

"Yeah!" I said sensing the red rise in my cheeks.

"Whatever you're day dreaming about give me a piece of it too! You seem
really into it."

"Oh, it's nothing really" I said attempting to conceal my true thoughts.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. I got up to answer it while
Katherine got up to settle herself on the bed.

As I opened the door I was greeted by a case of beer and Ted's smiling
face. Ted was my ally on the dorm floor. Okay I'm lying, put Ted and me
together and we were shear terror. My grin got huge and just as quickly
faded. He saw it.

"What? You don't like beer all of a sudden?"

As he came barging him, it didn't seem to phase him that there was a table
with flowers and candles lit, not to mention soft music serenading us in
the background.

"Hey Kath, what's going on? Ready for a drunken filled night of stupidity."
He said making himself comfortable on the bed beside her.

I half expected her to get up and come up with some excuse to leave
because, well first of all she's not the type to get drunk over beer or any
alcohol for that matter. Secondly, she knows how rowdy Ted and I can be
when were together drinking. To my utter surprise, she glanced at Ted
smiling. In true Katherine style she said: "As long as you have clean
glasses to drink from pass me a beer."

"Well alright!" Ted said leaning over the case of Steam Whistle and passing
one to both of us.

Ted was a man's man. Played hockey, was on the wrestling team and was big
enough to be the main spokesperson for any muscle mag. He was also the best
guy to hang out with. He would give advice freely and he never felt like
his masculinity was on the line if he mentioned that he really just didn't
understand women.

While I was thinking about Ted and our relationship, I removed the evidence
of my romantic dinner with Katherine. I was surprised though. Ted didn't
seem the least bit out of place in this setting. He even asked me if there
was anymore food!

I let go of my paranoia and sat down in front of them. I took a swig of my
beer and looked over at Katherine to find her smiling at me. I returned the
gesture.

Later that night...

After many beer, the remainder of the red wine and half the bottle of
Glenfiddich we were all worse off. It was now about two o'clock in the
morning and we had all but just about fallen asleep when Ted found some
kind of super human energy and jumped up singing the familiar tune to
Sounds of Music, or rather attempted to.

"Sooo lunga, phawell, Auf wiedersehn, gooda neyt, I hatea to go and leaf
dis preetty slight."

Katherine and I must have been just as bad because I vaguely remember
Oooing and Aaying his lack of singing prowess.

Just then, Ted leant forward kissing me on the forehead and said "Kiddo,
dounch'a do anysings I woldn't do. Ochay!"

Making his way to the door, I got up and walked him.

"Ochay!" I said, he laughed and closed the door behind him singing.

I turned around to find Katherine lying curled up in my bed. I walked to
the task light on my desk and turned it on. I then found the courage to
turn around and walk back to the wall switch and turn the ceiling light
off.

"Cass, help me", Katherine said whining.

Smiling inwardly, I turned around and stumbled over to her. Crouching down
over the burgundy comforter that embraced her and resting my crossed arms
on the bedside facing her I said:

"If you think I'm going to sit here and listen to you moan all night you
have another thing coming."

Realizing not but a second later the double meaning of my rant I lowered my
eyes hoping not to arise any suspicion on her part. Katherine looked at me
with her glazed over eyes. Slowly, her delicate hand reached up and the
back of it's beauty caressed the left side of my flushed cheek. I mustered
the strength of a million and not sure of how or why this was all
happening, I slowly crossed over wanting to feel the nearness of her. To
feel what others have felt upon being touched by her hands. To finally earn
the right after so many sleepless nights to make love to her.

My eyes searching hers, I found the answers to all my questions. My eyes
never leaving hers, I reached for Katherine's face. Feeling my breath stop,
I inhaled sharply, and ran my fingers over the fine lines that made up
exquisite lips. For the first time, I met the sweetness of her
kiss. Tentatively, we explored the taste of each other. Our mouths opened
slightly and her tongue probed the inside of mine. When our tongues
collided for the first time and I could feel her taste buds glide lazily
over mine, my mouth begged to take up permanent residence in her mouth and
never leave.  I heard her moan softly and pull away from me. Knowing I
wanted nothing more then to feel her kisses wash over me again, I reached
for her. She gently put her hands on my shoulders to stop me.

"I don't want this to happen like this." she said catching her breath and
leaning up on her elbows.

I knew very well what she meant. This was to be our first night, and after
that kiss I knew she had longed for me in the same manner I had for
her. She just didn't want to make love drunk. I on the other hand wasn't as
forthright. For all the nights I spent dreaming what it would be like to
touch inch followed by another slow inch of the wonder that made up her
body, being drunk was a consequence I was willing to take.

"I've wanted you more than you could imagine and being with you right here
and now doesn't change what I've wanted to happen right from the very
beginning." I said trying to speak as the influence of alcohol was fast
creeping into my speech.

Lying back down on the bed, she looked at me and took my hand in hers.

"Come to bed with me." she said.

That was all the reassurance I needed.
