Who: Kirley and Katie
When: Tuesday night
What: Their date
Where: the studio and then a bar for billiards

The practice had run later than he thought it would. Kirley placed his guitar on its stand and stood up, stretching. He shot Katie a grin and walked over, slowly but confidently. "Sorry bout that, love." The bars were still open, at least.

He tossed on a jacket, though he probably didn't need it, and held his hand out to her. "Shall we?" He knew a place. It wasn't far but it'd be quicker to apparate.

	Katie took his hand. She was really feeling quite privileged to be able to sit in on a band practice with one of the most accomplished musicians in the wizarding world, but now her feet were getting restless and she wanted to be up and about. "Where to?" she asked. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"I know a place. Unless you want to go to the Leaky?" He thought it'd be better for her to decide, since she paid for his company and all. Though, the more he looked at her and talked to her, he probably would have gone out with her for free. She was quite fit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No pool table at the Leaky." Nothing to do but sit on stools and talk while some hag sat too close. "Plus, they keep the music too quiet there." Probably because people were trying to sleep upstairs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That bar near the hospital has pool tables," he offered, looking over at her. "And the music is always pretty damn loud." Sometimes, too loud. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Great. We apparating?" Katie wasn't a groupie. She didn't fool herself that she'd charm him, he'd fall in love, they'd sleep together, and he'd sweep her off her feet. She was just looking for a fun evening and a story to tell later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sure. Want to do Side-Along, or do you just want to meet me there?" It didn't matter, did it? It would only be a second. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That place under the cafe?" Katie was trying to remember which bar he was talking about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notasister 2009-08-19 04:27 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. I'll just take you. Better that we don't get seperated." He took hold of her arm, gently but secure enough that he wouldn't let go and splinch her. "Ready?" He didn't give her time to reply before they disappeared with a Pop! and reappeared in front of the bar. The music was loud, like he said, and there were a few drunks hanging around outside.

	"Oh, I don't think I've ever been here after dinner." She was here for lunch one day when the cafe had been too busy and she was already out on the street for the lunch hour. She'd never seen it when it was hopping. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's usually packed. It looks like it's dying down a little. I thought all you hospital people came here after work?" He must've been wrong. Oh well. He rubbed the back of his neck and gestured towards the door. "After you, m'lady." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm sure a bunch of people do, but it's cheaper to drink at a friend's house than pay six times as much at a bar." Maybe that was why Katie's circle of friends wasn't really expanding. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notasister 2009-08-19 04:41 am UTC (link)
	"Well, don't worry about that. Everything's on me tonight." He gave her a grin and followed her inside. The place was full, but people parted as they made their way though. He gave a couple people smiles and patted a few guys on the back as he passed. When they finally made it to the bar, he looked at Katie. "What do you want?" He practically had to yell.

	She had to think about that for a moment. Katie had started her drinking career with girly drinks, but lately anything too sweet made her sick. "Rum and cola." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notasister 2009-08-19 04:51 am UTC (link)
	"Sounds good." He turned to the bartender and held up two fingers. "Two of those please." He slapped a few galleons down and handed Katie her drink. He took a sip of his own and looked down at her. "Good choice." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-08-19 04:54 am UTC (link)
	Katie took a long sip of her drink. She gestured to a free pool table. "Look, there's one open." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notasister 2009-08-19 04:56 am UTC (link)
	"Let's go before it's taken!" He grabbed her hand and lead her over to the table. He placed his drink on the edge as he picked up a stick and handed it to the girl. "So, what do you do at the hospital?" He didn't even know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-08-19 05:11 am UTC (link)
	"I'm a healer in Artifact Accidents." She chalked up her stick and tossed the little blue cube to Kirley. Katie framed up the balls while she waited. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notasister 2009-08-19 05:16 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, cool. Do you ever get anyone who's superbly cocked up?" He laughed and chalked his own stick. "You wanna break?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-08-19 05:18 am UTC (link)
	"We had a guy get hexed with a permanent sticking charm inside a blow-up-doll." Katie lined up the shot and sank the 3. "You've got stripes." She took her second turn, sank the 7 and the 4. The next shot was awkward so she leaned back over the table, put the stick behind her, and shot. She sank the 1, but scratched the cue ball in after. "Shit." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notasister 2009-08-19 05:21 am UTC (link)
	He watched her with a quirked brow. "Well, at least I don't have to pretend to lose." He gave her a charming smile and picked the ball out of the pocket. Placing it on the table, he took a shot. And missed. "But, maybe I'll still pretend, so you can look extra good." Kirley wasn't that great at pool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"We had a pool table in our cellar and my sister and I used to play every night after supper. Of course, we played dirty. Mum and Dad had to make rules about it. No touching, but we were allowed to do anything else we wanted to distract the other person."

She hopped the 5 and sank the 2, but then no good shot was lined up so she settled for messing up a prime one Kirley could have taken.

	"You can touch if you want," he said, lifting his drink to his lips and finishing it. "Want another?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Alright, just one more or you'll be dragging me out of here." She chalked up her stick again while she waited for him to make the shot.

Of course, childish habits died hard, even if they became more... adult. Katie put her hands on the edge of the table and leaned forward, pretending to watch the shot but really providing a brilliant distraction by way of her low cut tank top.

	He grabbed another couple drinks, setting hers in front of her. "Prepare to lose," he said, meaning business as he lined up his shot. However, he was thoroughly distracted by a lovely view of her breasts. He completely missed again. "That's not fair, but thank you very much." He took another sip of his drink.

	babybell 2009-08-19 05:43 am UTC (link)
	"No, it's fair. Unfair would be me tell you that you weren't allowed to distract me." She lined up a shot, bouncing the 6 off the left edge, and sending it sailing into the corner pocket, pushing the 5 in with it. She lined up to try and sink the 1 next. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, my boobs aren't nearly as nice as yours so I don't think it would work the same way anyways." He crossed his arms and observed her as she shot. How was she so good? It was starting to get embarrassing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-08-19 05:48 am UTC (link)
	The 1 went in, as he wasn't going to be fun and even try to distract her. She just had the 8 ball left. "Right corner," she pointed. The ball bounced off two walls before slowing to stop right on the edge of the right corner pocket. Katie waved her hands at it, as if trying to will it to fall in. "You're kidding me!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notasister 2009-08-19 05:57 am UTC (link)
	"I have a chance!" He lifted his arm in the air triumphantly and finished off his second drink. He was only feeling tipsy. But if Katie didn't want another, he wouldn't drink one either. He lined up his shot and stuck his tongue out for good measure. After what seemed like an eternity, he chanced his luck. And what do you know! The 9 ball went in! "Huzzah!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-08-19 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	Well now the balls weren't lined up for an easy shot at all. She examined the table before lining up. She had to sink one of his balls because the other option was the cue and that would sacrifice the game. Katie gestured to the pocket, and knocked the eight in with his twelve. "I win," she said, standing up straight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notasister 2009-08-19 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	He golf clapped for her and placed his stick on the wall with the others. "Good job." He grinned. "Now, don't go telling all your girl friends that you've beaten Kirley Duke and stolen his dignity." He winked at her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-08-19 07:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh but what good is going out with a rock star if I can't brag all about stealing his dignity?" Katie put her stick back up on the rack. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notasister 2009-08-19 07:07 pm UTC (link)
	He rolled his eyes dramatically. "Alright, fine," Kirley said. "You can brag. But you've got to have one more drink." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-08-19 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay, but switch it to a light beer or I'll be trying to give you singing lessons." She was feeling a bit tingly right now anyway. Her lips were numb. (Reply to this) (Parent)
