Chapter 2 - The Date

CHAPTER 2: The date

	Evan slolwly awoke and looked at the clock on the side of his bed. "10:30 already?" He groaned as he forced himself to get up.
He walked down the stairs heading towards the kitchen and thought about what he did last night. "Oh," he perked up remembering, "I asked Kari to be my girlfriend." He blushed at the thought. He reached the kitchen, grabbed himself a muffin, and headed towards the television in the living room. He turned on the television and began eating the muffin in his hand when he heard his door bell ring. Reaching the door he looked through the window and saw it was Kari, he quickly opened the door. "Good morning," he said as she walked inside the house. She turned towards him, "Good morning to you too," she smiled at him. "So what's up?" She questioned. "Nothing much. Just got up a minute ago," he smiled, "that is, if you couldn't tell by how I look." He looked down at himself. He had nothing on but his shorts and socks and his fur was unkept. "Yeah I see that," she replied. "So you want more lessons on being  a good boyfriend?" she grinned. Evan stared at her trying to remeber. "Oh yeah!" he exclaimed as it hit him.
He became nervous, "So what's the lesson today?" She saw his expression, "Oh, well I was just wondering if you wanted to go out and do something today?"
Evan's ears perked up, "You.. you mean like a date?!" he stuttered. Kari now became emberassed, "Yeah I figured you could use this lesson since you've never had a girlfriend." Evan looked at himself again, "Well if you would could you give me a few minutes to get ready then?" Evan grinned. 
Kari nodded, "Sure, just be sure to smell decent when you get out, I know how most guys are." Evan quckly ran up the stairs to take a shower and get ready while Kari sat infront of the television and waited for him. After a few minutes, a shower, and a quick choosing of clothes, Evan finally wakled back down the stairs towards the living room to where Kari was. She was deep into the show on the televison when Evan came up beside her, "Wow," she said as she eyed his now cleaned and dressed body over. "You sure do clean up well," she smiled at him. He nodded at her, "So any place you want to go to?" he questioned her. 
"Well I figured we could head out to the mall and walk around," she replied. "Sure," Evan grabbed his keys and they jumped into his car, heading towards the mall. "So what kind of things do couples do at the mall?" Evan asked, his focus still on the road. "Well lots of things," she paused to think for a second, "we can shop, eat, and just have a good time." She smiled, "Don't worry it's not as if this will be stressful."

	After twenty minutes they finally arrived at the mall. They stepped out of the car and headed towards the entrance of the mall. Evan looked nervously around and then looked over at Kari. She noticed his expression, "What are you worried about?" she questioned him with a puzzled look on her face. "I'm sorry," he looked down at the ground. "I've never been to the mall with a girl before." She reached her paw over towards his and grabbed it, "It's okay," she smiled.
He looked up at her and nodded. They walked inside and walked by a few stores before Evan asked, "Anywhere you want to go specifically?" "Hmm," Kari thought to herself, "well I was hoping to find some cute shirts and shorts. So let's head to the clothing stores." "Okay," he nodded. Kari noticed a shop and pointed it out to Evan, "c'mon let's go there," she pulled on his arm and led him towards the store. Evan found himself blush as they entered the girly store led on by Kari. "Don't worry," she whispered in his ear, "it's okay since your with me," she giggled. Kari looked around the store, she picked out a few shirts and shorts and tried them on. "So what do you think about these?" Kari asked as she appeared out of the dressing room in a small T-shrit and shorts. Evan stood there with a stuned look on his face. He eyed her up and down, noticing every curve on her body he could see. His eyes then made their way to her breasts and his focus locked there. Kari giggled at him noticing her, "I guess we'll have to get these." Evan nodded in his zoned out state of mind. She went back to change her clothes to normal and Evan's focus returned to normal. She bought the clothes and they headed out to look around in more shops. They continued to walk throughout the mall, stopping at more stores, trying on more clothes, and making a few more purchases.

	Evan felt his stomach grumble, "Man I'm getting hungry." He held his paw over his stomach. "Well let's go get something to eat at the food court then." Kari replied. They headed to the food court, grabbed some pizza, and sat down at a table. "So is this going as you figured it would?" She smiled at him as he took a big bite of pizza. Evan finished the bite and washed it down with a drink before replying, "Well it's been about what I figured it would be," he paused for a second, "but its been really fun since your the one here with me."
Kari blushed as he said this, "well you certainly know how to make a girl feel special." They both smiled and quickly finished their pizzas. "So any place else you really want to go?" Kari asked. "Well maybe one..."he hesitantly replied."Where?" her curiosity now sparked, she was a cat after all. "Well let me just look around first," they both got up and began to wander around the mall again until Evan found the store and stopped Kari when they reached it. A videogame store. Evan looked at her, "I'm sorry, but I really do like videogames." Kari smiled and sighed at him, "Just like most guys I figured." Evan wandered all around the store with her right behind him and after a quick purchase they left. "Sorry about that," he looked over at her, "but there was a game I wanted and.." Kari held her paw upto him and stopped him. "It's okay," she smiled, "this is what couples do."
 
	They soon headed for the car and began driving home. "So what are your parents like?" Evan found himself asking. "Well I don't like them," she replied, "they never care what I'm doing or where I am," she sighed. "What about you?" she looked over at him, his focus on the road. "Well my parents are rarely around. They're usually on business trips or something else important for their work. We never really get to talk and sometimes I feel lonely." "I know how you feel," Kari said softly, "I feel lonely since my parents never care and I don't have that many friends, a few but not many." "I only have one best friend," Evan found himself say, "I'll have to introduce you to him sometime." "Yeah you should meet my friend too," She grinned.

	They finally reached Kari's house, "Well we're here," he smiled. She leaned over and gave him a kiss, "I had fun today. Well I'll see you later and give you more lessons," she smiled and started to get out but turned back around. "Oh, and what's your phone number?" Evan quickly found a pen and wrote his down on their reciept from the pizza. "Can you write your number too?" he looked up at her. "Sure," she took the pen and wrote down her number on the other half of the reciept, tore it, and gave it to him. She reached the front door and waved at him as he headed home. "Man today went over well." he thought to himself.  He placed his paw softly where she had kissed him as he drove towards home.
