This story was co-written by Clara, and was originally posted in two parts. Those parts have been combined into one here.
Rhodry: I need to get out of here and find some place where it’s quiet enough to think. If any of my sisters ask, tell them I went out for a walk.
D’Angelo: A walk? You've got to be kidding me. Take the bike. It'll clear your head a lot better than a walk will.
Rhodry: All right - I'll try the bike. Thanks.
D’Angelo: And pick up some beer while you’re at it, wouldja?
Katerina: Oh!!! Oh! Help!
Katerina: I knew you would stop. Even at a distance I could see you are a real gentleman. Are you any good with broken down ol’ cars?
Rhodry: Not really. Where is yours?
Katerina: Oh, at least a mile or two behind me. I’m afraid I’m having an unlucky day. I got lost and then broke down, and didn’t know what to do, so I started out walking. I was just about to give up, when you came along. *giggles* Maybe I’m not so unlucky after all – look at you - you’re kind and handsome…..
Rhodry: I would be happy to help you, but I am unable to assist you with repairing your car. Is there anything else I could do to be helpful?
Katerina: If I could come to your place to…. to use your phone, I might just be able to reach someone who can help me…. I hope….
Rhodry: Why don’t I just take you to your house?
Katerina: Oh it’s ever so far away and *mock embarrassment* I’m not entirely sure I know where it is. I’m staying with my little ol’ grandmother, and I don’t remember her exact address.
Rhodry: All right – climb up behind me. Better hold on. I'm not very familiar with driving a motorcycle either.
Rhodry: Are you doing all right back there? We're nearly to my place.
Katerina: Oh yes, I'm doing quite nicely, thank you. You're so easy to hold on to.
Katerina: *shivers* Although it is quite chilly and damp, isn’t it? *shivers again*
D’Angelo: *hearing the bike’s engine* Hmmm, back already? I hope he didn't forget the beer.
Rhodry: Wait here – I’ll get you a towel… and the phone.
Katerina: Oh, but Rhodry…..
Rhodry: Yes?
Katerina: You’re forgetting your belt.
Rhodry: Uh… thanks…
Katerina: And your jacket, too, of course. Thank you so much; it kept me dry……Mmmm, and warm…. but look at you – you’re soaked to the skin! You’ll need to get out of those wet jeans right away!
Rhodry: Uh.... yeah... sure.... I'll do that. *makes his escape*
D’Angelo: *thinks* What? I send him out for beer and he comes back with a woman???? Go, Rhodry. Hey - wait a minute….. that looks just like..... No - can't be.....
Katerina: Well hellooooooo, handsome.
D’Angelo: Kat? From the "Men's Issue?" Wow!
Katerina: What a coincidence, huh?
D’Angelo: What....? Huh? Where did you come from????
Katerina: No time to answer such thought-provoking questions, Angel-face. Let’s just say that this cat’s happiest out of the rain.
Katerina: And she’s hoping a certain Angel isn’t all talk and no action. She’s countin’ on him….
Katerina: ……. to keep her purring.
D’Angelo: That won't be a problem, baby. I can keep you purring for hours. So long as you don't have anything going with my man, Rhodry there.
Katerina: I don't think he's quite my type, Sugar. A little too buttoned up for my taste. Now you look like a man with a view that you aren't afraid to share.
D’Angelo: Honey, what's mine is yours. All you need to do is get the motor running; you did that the minute you walked in. But hey - let's find a more private place. This sure isn't it.
Katerina: How about my place, Hotstuff? It's only a few blocks away.
D’Angelo: We're outta here then. Just let me.....
Katerina: Mmmmmm, careful Angel. It wouldn’t do to damage the goods before…. *whispers in his ear*
D’Angelo: *yells* Rhodry, forget the phone. We won't be needing it.
D’Angelo: *still yelling* And don't hold supper for me. As a matter of fact, don't wait up. Ah hell, I'll see you when I see you.
