against each other.
                  "We were....we can learn how to be again."
    Chapter 9
                  There are so many things I want to say to her, lay myself out in the open. But before I can even mutter a word, Krista marches over pulling Scott behind her and takes any attention Katy had on me.
                  "Oh my gosh, Kate, this place is, like, the best ever!" Krista announces, grabbing hold of Katy and spinning in a circle.
                  "Whoa, Krista...Kris," Katy says more adamantly and stops the spinning.
                  "Are you drunk? What did you drink?"
                  Katy glares over at Scott for being careless and I join her. Did he really think supplying her with that much to drink was really smart? And he knew this was supposed to be our "first date" and now it looks like it’s over.
                  "Scott...why did you let her get drunk?" Katy asks angrily, and I have to resist the urge to smack him upside his head.
                   "I'm sorry! We were just sitting and talking and the bartender just kept refilling her drink when it got low," he mutters, and looks down at his feet.
                  "Well, as you can tell, she's a lightweight! Look...we need to get her home before she crashes. Can you have the car brought around?" Katy turns to me, exasperated.
                  I nod and step around them, shaking my head. Scott is going to get chewed out after we leave here. He knows better; if she's seen stumbling drunk while out with us she'll be on the cover of a trashy magazine first thing in the morning.
     
                  As I dial the limo service I lean back against the wall and take a glance at where Katy, Scott, and Krista are standing. Katy really cares about her best friend--she's like a little mother hen making sure she's ok. I smile to myself as I watch them.
                  "Georgian Limo Services," a voice says in my ear.
                  "This is Liam Warren. I need my driver to return to pick us up."
                  "Right away, sir," the voice responds immediately, and I hang up the phone.
                  I pull away from the wall and make my way back towards my little group of friends.
                   "They'll be here in a couple minutes," I tell them, and put my hands on Katy's hips.
                  "Good." She smiles at me and leans over to whisper something to Krista and I take the chance to look over at Scott and just shake my head at him. He rolls his eyes and then Krista yells out, "Of course not!" and throws herself into Scott's arms.
                  "Alright, sweetheart, let's go get you some fresh air. On our next date, no drinking allowed, that sound good?" he says as he helps her towards the exit.
                  "Looks like our night got cut short," I frown, looking down at Katy.
                  "Rain check?" She smiles up at me and plays with a piece of hair by my eye.
                  "You bet." I return her smile and pull her towards where Scott and Krista just disappeared to.
                  I spot the limo pulling up in front and turn towards Katy. "Don't forget, duck your head!"
     
                  We push past the flashing cameras and photographers trying to get our attention, and as we slide into the back I breathe a sigh of relief.
                  The driver has to do some maneuvering to get us out, but once we're pulling away from the madness I pull Katy a little closer.
                  "So, when will we be able to get together again?" she asks, pressing into my side, and I soak in the warmth of her there.
                  "Well, we're finishing up final scenes and things this week, so maybe by the weekend we can cut loose." I shrug and absently rub her
