Chapter 3 - Feelings

CHAPTER 3: Feelings

	Kari rolled over on her bed. The clock next to her showed it was 12:11 am.Her mind was full of thoughts and they were all of Evan. "I know I've been acting cool around him, but every time I'm near him I feel like I could open up and show him everything about me," she found herself emerassed at the thought for some reason."I've never felt this way about a guy before. Maybe he feels the same way about me," she paused, "or maybe not, but he was the one to ask me out.." Her mind kept giong back and fourth untill she calmed down after a few minutes.She rolled onto her back, looked at the ceiling, and sighed. "I'll tell him sometime soon," she said to herself as she felt her eyes get heavy and let out a yawn." I'll call him tomorrow and see if he wants to meet." and with that last thought in mind she fell asleep.

	Evan was on his bed, asleep, when he heard his phone start to go off. His ears twitched at the sound and forced himself to get up. He picked up the phone and answered with a low, "Hello?" "Well good morning sleepy head," he heared reply on the phone.He let out a yawn, "Hey kari," he slowly responded, still half asleep. "Oh sorry did I wake you?" "Yeah," Evan said, "but it's okay since it's you." She giggled, "Well I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me and my friends, you could even bring one of your friends I'm sure my friend won't mind."Sure," he replied, "just let me call him and I'll get ready." He looked over at his clock, 9:32. "Give me about 30 minutes and I'll meet up at your house okay?" "Sure I'll see ya then." They hung up and Evan immediately called his friend. "Hello." he heard on the phone. "Hey Jaden," Evan said, "got any plans for today?" "Not really, why?" "Well my girlfriend invited me to hang out with her and her friend and said I should bring one of my friends so I figured.." "Woah woah wait." Jaden stopped him. "When did you get a girlfriend?" "Oh, umm a few days ago. I haven't gotten to talk to you since then so yeah." He replied nervously."So you really got a girlfriend? I've got to see this." He laughed. "I'll be onver to pick you up once I get ready," Evan said. "Alright," Jaden said and hung up the phone.

	Evan quickly got himself ready and drove over to Jaden's house where he found him waiting outside.Jaden was a red fox, 5 foot 8 like Evan, and slim at 135 pounds with light brown eyes."C'mon," Evan called to him. Jaden jumped into the car and they headed to Kari's."So what's this chick like?" Jaden asked. "Well, she's nice, sweet, and has a good body." Evan happily replied. "What about her friends?" Jaden grinned. "I don't know, but If the're like mine you'll be fine." Evan said but felt emberrassed for saying it.
They pulled up into Kari's driveway and hopped out of the car. They walked up to the door and knocked on it. It opened and there stood Kari, "Hey there." She leaned forward and gave him a kiss which he happily returned. Jaden looked over at him, "Man you really do have a girlfriend! And a hot one at that." He said as his eyes looked over her. Kari looked at him with a frown, "I'm guessing your his friend, and why wouldn't he have a girlfriend?" She wrapped her arms around Evan as she spoke still looking angrily at Jaden. "Well it's just I don't think I've ever seen him talking to a girl and he's never had a girlfriend before that's for sure." He said and grinned.
"So," he looked around with an innocent face, "I was wondering if you had any friends..." She looked at him and sighed."Jasmine," she called into the house. A second later another fox came up to the doorway. She looked over at Jaden, "Hi, my name's Jasmine." Jaden looked at her body.
She was also a red fox, a little shorter than him, skinny, and had brown eyes as well. Jaden's eyes stopped to look at her breasts, but he eventally looked back up at her eyes after a minute. "Hi, I'm Jaden." 
Evan looked at Kari who still had her arms around him, "So Kari, what did you have planned for today?" Kari looked at Jasmine, "anything you wanted to do?" Jasmine shook her head, "nothing planned, but let's drive around and find something." "Let's bowl!" Jaden called out, "I haven't done that in ages!" 
The other three looked at eachother and then at him, "Sure," they all ended up saying. "Jasmine and I have one last thing to do before we go so just head over there and we'll catch up." Jasmine looked over at Kari, puzzled, but simply nodded at the guys. Kari let go of Evan and he and Jaden got in the car and headed to the bowling alley. "So what's that last thing we need to do?" Jasmine questioned and looked over at Kari. She sighed and looked back at Jasmine. "I need your help. I really want to tell Evan how I feel. It's been keeping me up at night lately, but I don't know if I can do it." Jasmine looked over at her with a curious grin on her face, "You?! Afraid to tell a guy what you think?"
Kari looked at Jasmine and nodded. "I just needed help today to do it, but.. I might be too scared to do it no matter what." "It's okay, I'm sure you can do it. Just focus on him this entire time we're out and you can do it." Kari smiled, "Thanks." The two left the house and headed after the two guys. "I know I can do it, for him." She thought to herself.

	Evan and Jaden arrived at the blowling alley and stood by the car waiting for the girls. "You were right, your girl is hot." Jaden looked over at Evan. "And that Jasmine isn't too bad herself, just might get lucky here today." Evan sighed at his friend's perverted remarks as Kari and Jasmine pulled up in their car. "Ready to bowl guys?" Kari asked. The two guys nodded and they all headed into the bowling alley. Jaden and Jasmine walked ahead talking to eachother while Evan and Kari stayed a bit further back. "So is this another lesson?" He smiled at her. "I guess. Let's just say it's one about double dating." She smiled back.
The four of them grabbed some shoes, a ball for each of them, and headed towards their lane. Jaden put his name first into the machine, then Jasmine, Kari, and finally Evan. Jaden picked up his ball and rolled it down the lane it hit and knocked down almost all the pins. The others sat in chairs waiting for their turns. "So what made you want to hang out today with our friends?" Evan asked Kari. "Oh no reason really. I just wanted to see what your friend was like and figured you'd like to know mine." "Okay, well your friend seems nice. I'm sorry if Jaden is a bit.. difficult."
"No, no, he's okay.. a bit ignorant, but still a decent friend it would seem." Jasmine went up and rolled the ball after Jaden got a spare. "Nice job," Jasmine looked over at Jaden and gave him a quick wink which he noticed. Jaden went over to the couple who from his point looked like they were up to something. "So what's going on lovebirds?" Jaden jumped inbetween them. They both sighed, "Nothing." Evan said heavily.
Jaden couldn't help but mess with his friend, it gave him a smile and he knew deep down Evan was smiling too. Jasmine sat back down pouting, she hit only six pins. Jaden sat next to her, "Don't worry, you'll do better next frame." He put a paw on her shoulder. She looked at him, "Well I can see your a guy who gets to girls." The two began chatting as Kari stood up and went to bowl. 
Evan watched her as she walked, his eyes focused on her swaying hips. Kari rolled her ball and then glanced back to see Evan checking her out. She put more sway into her hips and swished her tail back and forth. She finsihed the frame hitting 7 and sat down as Evan got up, their eyes locked on to eachother. Evan's focus went to the lane and tried to concentrate. He rolled the ball, only to end up hitting one pin. He reached back for his ball and rolled again hitting two more pins. He slowly walked back to Kari and looked at the ground. Kari put her paw on his shoulder, "It's okay." She could see it wasn't working. "Man I didn't know he'd be like this over one frame,"she thought. Then she got an idea. She moved her tail up to his face and wiggled it around. He looked up and laughed at the fuzzy brown dangling infront of him. He reached his paw out and grabbed it."Well that seemed to work," she giggled at him as he held onto it in his paw. "Why are you down?" "Well I was hoping to get more than that." "It's okay, you can still do good." He still held onto her tail. "Do you like my tail I take it?" He nodded. She looked over at his tail and placed her paw on it. "Your tail is nice too." He started wagging it.
Their moment was interupted as Jaden jumped up and down after getting a strike. "Woot!" He let out. Jasmine stepped up to the lane and rolled down five. The group continued to play the game until they finished up the tenth frame. Jaden got a ninety-nine, Jasmine sixty-two, Kari sixty-five, and Evan a fifty-nine. "That was great," Jaden said as they headed out. "Only because you won by so much." Evan said. "Someone's jealous." Jaden replied. Kari and Jasmine waited behind, "Let me be alone now with him, I think I can do it." Jasmine nodded at Kari. Kari walked up to the guys, "So how about we go our seperate ways for now? Evan and I together and you and Jasmine?" "Sure," they both replied quickly. Jasmine and Jaden left in her car and Evan and Kari were together outside of the bowling alley. "So what did you want to do?" Evan asked. "Oh well I was wanting for us to get to know eachother more, but maybe at your house?" "Sure" They both got in his car and headed to his house.

	The drive was a bit silenced and Evan's headed raced with questions as he drove. "What does she want to ask? Is it good? Bad? Does she still like me? Does she want to break up?" His mind still raced as they soon pulled up inot his driveway. They got out and Evan unlocked his door and walked inside. They sat both down on the couch and looked at eachother, both with a worried look. Kari was worried if he wouldn't accept how she felt and Evan was worried if she was wanting to break up. They looked at eachother's worried faces which added to their own worries. "So, what did you want to talk about?" Evan asked. "Well," Kari paused. "I.. I was wondering." She looked down at her legs and cleched her paws. "It's now or never," she thought. "Evan I was wanting to ask you.. how do you feel about me?" Evan became shocked. "Well, I.." he paused, "I really like you alot."Her ears perked up at his words, "Really?" "Yeah, I mean your nice to me, you have a good personality, and I must admit you have a great body." "So, how do you feel about me?" Evan asked. "Well," Kari blushed, "well I think your one of the sweetest guys I've ever met. You seem to listen to me and you compliment me. So to me your a great boyfriend in my eyes." Evan smiled at those words and found himself wagging his tail. Kari leaned over and hugged him then kissed him deeply which he returned. They leaned back and looked into eachother's eyes. "Evan, I love you." "And I love you Kari."
