Katey was in the bedroom making her bed when she heard a little bark behind her, she turned around to find a present had been brought in. "Alright if you are trying to make good with me, bringing me the paper is certainly a great start!" She leaned down to pet Sophie, laughing as her little body wriggled with delight. "It doesn't take much to make you happy. I wish everything was so simple!" She decided to take the paper out onto the porch and enjoy the morning sun while she read about her new town. She smiled as she read the big news events, "Sophie it seems like the only thing that goes on around here are babies being born, old people checking out, and football!"
Sophie barked in response and jumped up onto her lap. She sat there petting the puppy and laughing at the goofy look on her face, "Maybe having you guys around won't be so bad, guess that why my aunt had you too, so she wouldn't feel so lonely." She still wondered why her aunt hadn't sent for her years before, why she left her in Bridgeport to fend for herself, instead of waiting until she was dead to acknowledge her niece. "Guess I'll never know since the dead don't tend to talk to much." With that she rose up, setting the puppy down on the ground gently. "I have to go into town and do some shopping, I suppose you two will be ok while I'm gone?" She giggled at herself as she waited for a response.
The drive into town took a good fifteen minutes, but Katey didn't mind. She actually liked driving the old Ford pickup, liked being so high in the air, the feeling of strength and power it gave her. She parked the pickup at the curb and stepped out, smiling as she saw the bins of fresh vegetables sitting on display on the sidewalk. "I think my aunt may have lived in Mayberry!" she muttered to herself.
"Naw we don't have Andy or Opie here, and your Aunt was nothing like Aunt Bee!" She turned and found herself staring into the darkest eyes she had ever seen, she couldn't quite decide what their color was. "Oh names Elijah Williams, and you must be Katey, Deborah's niece from the big city. How is country life treating you?" She stammered a bit, taken aback by how much everyone seemed to already know about her. "I've only been here a day, so it's hard to say I guess." He smirked a bit, and nodding to her groceries laying at her feet, "Well I should let you get those put up before they spoil."
She had just got inside the door and sat the groceries down on the counter top when her phone began ringing. She looked down at the caller id, to see the all to familiar unknown on the screen. "Hello?" she wondered if it was the lawyer checking up on her. "Hey there, I hope you don't mind, but I asked around and well, I got your phone number. Look if you like, I could show you around a bit, you know help you get acquainted with everything and everyone."
She didn't quite know what to say, she had only been in town the one day, and she was pretty certain it wasn't smart to hook up with the first guy she crossed paths with, "Um actually," She stammered out, before being interrupted, "Look there's a really cool little bar here, it's got a dance floor and everything, and you don't have to be 21 to enter, they'll just stamp you at the door. We could go tonight if you are up for it." Well technically he wasn't the first guy she had stumbled across, technically that would be Trevor, "Sure why not, I could use a bit of fun!" She smiled as he gave her directions to the bar and agreed to meet her there.
"Sorry girls, you are on your own tonight, I am going to go have myself a bit of fun!" she giggled as she skipped past the confused pets into her room to get ready for the evening. "There that should do it, what do you think girls? Will I pass?" She looked down to find both animals staring up at her intently, "Sometimes you two are a bit creepy!"
"Sorry I'm a bit late, I got a little turned around!" Elijah smiled as he watched Katie walk up, "That is quite alright, you are well worth the wait!" He led her inside to the charming little pub, taking her upstairs to the gaming room. "You wait up here and I will be back with a couple of drinks for us." Katie didn't bother mentioning that she wasn't legal for almost three more years.
They spent the night beating each other at Foosball, and talking for hours about everything. She couldn't remember when she had last had so much fun. He laughed at her jokes, and asked her questions about herself. Of course she chose to keep a few things about her past to herself.
In the end they closed the bar down, and ended up on the sidewalk back where they had met up for the night. That was really the last thing she remembered.
When she woke up, she realized somehow she had made it to her own bed. She couldn't remember how she had gotten there, but she had. Then she heard the breathing, she looked over to see, she wasn't in the bed alone. She didn't know how it had happened, she wasn't the type to just bring a guy home, in fact she had been a virgin. By the looks of things that wasn't the case anymore.
