her."
"Aw, come on Raj don't tell me you aren't
just the least bit disappointed." said Lyle.
"Actually, she's promised to get even with me
for the way I handled this whole thing, and I think she's planning
something nasty too."
"Really Raj, she's such a sweet girl. How can
you even suggest such a thing?" Sharazad gave me a piercing
look.
"Easy, she reminds me of it every chance she
gets."
"I take it then you weren't very tactful
about the whole thing?"
"Hey, I'm only fifteen, what do I know about
tact? I just walked into her room, after she told me to get lost
mind you, and dragged her out."
"You didn't!" Said Lyle, who was sniggering
and trying really hard not to laugh out loud.
"Well, both Kate and Herza suggested it, and I couldn't think of anything else."
"She couldn't be too mad about just that,"
Sharazad said pointedly, "What else did you do?"
"Well, basically I just threatened her every
time she didn't want to do something."
"Oh?"
"And I told her she looked like crap, was an
idiot, and lots of other nice things."
"You're right" said Lyle, "she ain't ever
going to sleep with you!"
"Oh I almost forgot, I guess you could say I
forced her to sleep in my room too."
"Don't fret dear," said Sharazad patting my
leg, "it's results that count and we all know you didn't volunteer.
I'll see if I can talk her out of it later."
"Not a chance!" called Terease from the
couch, as I suddenly realized she had been following the
conversation. "He enjoyed it way too much I think."
"See? I'm doomed." I sighed.
"Don't worry Raj, I remember our agreement!"
Terease said smiling, and then went back to talking with
Banner.
"What agreement was that?" asked Lyle.
"Well, I kind of said she could, as long as
it wasn't crippling."
"That was dumb."
"Hey, do I look like a brain surgeon? I was
just trying to make her feel better, after all the ordering around
I'd been doing."
" I think it was sweet Raj," Said
Sharazad "and I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. She's
probably just teasing."
"Just don't help her. Okay? And don't let her
con Banner into helping either."
"I think that's fair. I'll let everybody
know."
We changed the subject then, and made small
talk about different things for the rest of the night. When Banner
left with Terease on his arm later on, I had to admit I felt pretty
good.
"Raj," Said Balizar, "You did fine son.
Thanks."
I smiled a little embarrassed, “Thanks. I
guess it’s time to call it a night myself and head for bed.” I got
up then and headed to the door.
“Want some company?” Katrine asked quietly,
getting up and joining me at the door.
I smiled and took her arm, “Always” and we
left.
We went down for breakfast together the next
morning, and I was feeling quite happy despite my lack of sleep, or
perhaps because of it. We sat down together and started in on
breakfast with a relish.
"Happy how things worked out last night Raj?"
she smiled
"Yes, very." I smiled at her, “And feeling
well rewarded too.”
"Very well rewarded," She chuckled and slid a
little closer and ran her hand along my thigh.
"I still have a few hours before I have to
report today." I said suggestively as I wrapped my tail around her,
"Hey look, there's Terease and Banner."
"I think we can work something out there,"
she replied as she motioned to Terease and Banner to join us, her
own tail doing the same as mine.
"Good morning," said Terease sitting down
gingerly across the table from us with a smile. "Have a pleasant
evening?"
"Very," said Katrine smiling as she moved her
hand further up my thigh, "and you two?"
"It was absolutely wonderful," said Terease
snuggling up to Banner.
"Yes, it was a very enjoyable night," added
Banner, giving me a wink. "Anything happen at the meeting after we
left Raj?"
"I wouldn't know, we left right after you." I
couldn't help smiling.
We talked a few minutes more, about nothing
in particular, and then Katrine and I excused ourselves and
left.
