Like I Do

From: Vally<3 :)
It's Friiidayy! Meaning we're all meeting up at Johnny's Bar at 7:30...you better be there KitKat! xxxx<3

A smile stretched across Kat's face as she read the text that had just come through. She had just arrived home from work - giving her 2 hours to get ready - and, although she hadn't heard from him all day, she couldn't help but feel excited to see Brian again.

"You're in a good mood today," Andrew smiled as Kat breezed into the living room, Skye glanced up in suspicion.

Kat shrugged "I'm meeting everyone in Johnny's tonight so I'm gunna get good and drunk," She explained, earning a knowing chuckle off her step-father.

As she turned to go up to her room she became well aware of someone following her "Yes Skye?" She asked, without even glancing behind.

The younger girl skipped to catch up with her, linking her arm through Kat's she sent her a grin "What's going on with you and Brian?"

Kat sighed and rolled her eyes unconvincingly as the two entered her bedroom "Nothing!"

"Oh you're so convincing!" Skye smirked, sitting herself down on Kat's bed "You won't tell me now but you will tonight when you're drunk," She added in amusement as she watched Kat dig around in her wardrobe and remaining unpacked suitcases.

"What do you think of this for tonight?" she asked, holding up her favourite dress.

Skye's smirk grew "I think Brian will love it."

Unable to keep the smile off her face Kat rolled her eyes "Shut up you."

"How come you always turn up wearing Brian's favourite colour," Val smirked, resting an arm around Kat's waist.

"I don't," She replied with a blush, sipping on her vodka and coke as her and Val turned to take the rest of the drinks back to their booth.

"You keep telling yourself that Kat," Val winked as they set the two trays down - Val sitting beside Matt and Kat next to Brian.

"What?" Brian frowned, hearing Val's tease "Oh, you look nice," He added with a smile, softly running his fingers down the sleeve of Kat's military jacket.

"Thanks," She replied, the butterflies back with a vengeance as a grin stretched across her face.

"Hey Gates, Becca's just arrived!" Matt Berry called from across the table, ignoring the glares he immediately received off Leana, Lacey and Val.

Brian's eyes sparkled as he stretched up to look over Kat's head. She followed his eyes to see a slim figure at the bar, with legs that seemed to go on forever Kat couldn't help but see that 'Becca' was gorgeous.

"Tonight's my night guys!" He exclaimed, getting to his feet and pushing past Kat's legs, the Berry brothers cheering.

Kat watched him go with a heavy heart, watched as his hand rested on her lower back as he whispered something into her ear.

"You okay?" A voice cut through her thoughts, glancing up a smile touched her lips when she saw it was Zach scooting towards her.

"Hey Bakertron," She smiled, amusement radiating from her as a confused look came to his face "It's your new nickname. Where's Gena tonight anyways?" She asked, they had been at the bar for an hour and neither Gena nor Michelle (who had apparently been on a date) had shown their faces.

Zach shrugged, chewing on his lipring slightly "We had a fight so she isn't talking to me."

A sympathetic look came to Kat's face and she patted his leg "You'll sort it out," She reassured him "You and Gena are perfect for each other."

"Thanks KitKat," He smiled, placing an arm around her shoulders "I think I'm just going to get good and drunk tonight."

Allowing herself to glance over to where 'Becca' had her arms around Brian's neck, his rested on her hips, she sighed "Me too."

"...To get to the other side!"

Kat collapsed into a fit of giggles at Zach's dorky joke "You're so funny Bakertron!"

"I know," He replied, a dopey grin on his face as he ordered two more absinthe shots "3...2...1!" They both downed their shot, wincing as the alcohol burned their throats.

"They taste awful!" Kat giggled, her and Zach were the only two left at the bar out of the A7x, sat at the bar ordering shot after shot.

"I have nowhere to sleep tonight," Zach mused as the bartender placed two sambuca shots in front of them.

"Why didn't you say earlier?" Kat slurred once they had downed their shots "You can stay on my sofa!"

"Really?" He grinned.

"Uh-huh! My mom and Andrew won't mind and Skye will love it...you're her favourite," Kat giggled, patting his shoulder "She has a shmall crush on yooouuu!"

Zach laughed as he got to his feet, helping Kat to hers - she gripped onto his arm, stumbling on her killer heels "Let's go home roomie!"
The amount of alcohol in their systems caused the short 20 minute journey from the bar to Kat's home to stretch into an hour as they staggered and stumbled their way along the sidewalk.

"Home shweet home!" Kat exclaimed as her house finally came into view.

"Ssh!" Zach giggled holding a finger to her lips as she unlocked the door "Your parents are asleeeep!"

They - as silently as two hyperactive drunks could be - tiptoed into the living room, collapsing onto the couch.

"Brian's a prick," Kat sighed at the same time as Zach mumbled;

"Gena's a bitch."

Kat rolled her eyes, turning to face him she crossed her legs beneath her "No she isn't Zee, you'll get over this."

Zach smiled, his beautiful emerald orbs searching her features "I've always wondered what it'd be like to kiss you when you aren't mad at me."

Kat raised her eyebrows, the alcohol streaming through her veins answering for her "I'm not mad at you now."

Smiling softly he leant forward, cupping the back of her neck with his right hand he pressed his lips to hers. She scooted closer to him, her hands nestling in his dark hair as his lips parted hers and his tongue met her own.

She groaned into the kiss, pushing him backwards until he was lay across the couch she straddled his hips. His fingers played with the hem of her dress (her jacket already discarded) until she allowed him to pull it over her head, leaving her in a strapless bra, a pair of boyshorts and her thigh length socks.

She soon found her own hands doing the same with his t-shirt, him leaning up so she could lift it over his head. He moaned as she ran her fingernails down his tattooed chest, quickly reattaching their lips.

"This is my fiancée Gena," He introduced the beautiful blonde...

She quickly pulled away as the memory replayed in her mind "Zach?"

He shifted so he was in a sitting position, Kat's legs still wrapped around his waist "What sweetie?" He asked softly, running his hand through her hair.

"We shouldn't be doing this..."

"But we're having so much fun," He protested, slipping his hands down her body he rested them on her hips. Leaning forward he attacked her neck with kisses, sucks and nibbles.

She bit on her bottom lip to hold back a moan "B-but w-w-what about Gena?"

He frowned, pulling away from her neck "This isn't really going to solve either of our situations does it?" He sighed, blushing slightly.

She smiled "Not really Zee," Leaning forward she placed her lips on his once more in a quick last kiss "Sometimes I really wish I'd picked you."

"He'll come to his senses Kat," Zach slurred, a dopey grin stretched across his features as he quickly forgot his embarrassment "Doesn't know what he's missing that Syn Gates prick."

She giggled as she got to her unsteady feet, slipping her dress back on "Night Zee."

He was already snoring.
