"Kittie Kat are you sure about this??"

Grant looks at Katie nervously as they walk hand and hand together into Petterino's Cafe.  He finally had an extended weekend off from 'West Side Story' so he flew up to Chicago to spend time with her. Thank goodness for runs with understudies or else they would never have time with each other.

She pats his hand reassuringly as they navigate the crowded room for an empty table.

"Tommy, trust me. This'll be fun."

He pulls her chair out, kissing her cheek as she sits down and then eases into the empty seat beside her, both of them facing the stage.

"I'll always trust you, Gorgeous. I thought when you invited me up for my birthday weekend that we would be getting some alone boyfriend/girlfriend time. Just me, just you. Even if I needed to bribe your roommate to get her to leave. But to bring my to a club like this?"

Katie giggles, cuddling into his side as a waitress comes to take their drink order.   "We'll have plenty of time for that Tommy. And you don't NEED to bribe Lizzie. She was spending time at Patrick's apartment this weekend."

Grant nods as he takes in their surroundings, it really isn't that bad of a little cafe. He hums in contentment as the waitress brings their drinks to the table. "I suppose this will do for now Katherine. But you owe me major kisses later. MAJOR KISSES."

"Of course Mr Gustin, you know I could never say no to your kisses."

She nods, happily obliging his desires. As the café starts to get more and more crowded. Drawing their eyes to the stage, where apparently people are gearing up for performances.

An older woman coming to the lone microphone on the stage. "Hello Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to Petterino's Café and our weekly open mic night. If you would like to try your hand up here on the stage please see me at the table to the left and sign up. We look forward to indulging all you hopeful performers out there."

Katie has a small smirk on her face as she lifts her drink glass up and turns to face Grant. His green eyes are wide when they meet her brown ones. "Kittie Kat, you didn't?! You brought me here to sing, even though I do that on almost a daily basis with the show?"

Her brown eyes are unnaturally large as the smirk falls from her face, only to be replaced with a pout that he has never been able to say no to for as long as he has known her.

"Please Tommy, sing for me??  I've missed hearing you sing."

He sighs, dropping a kiss in her hair before he rises out of his seat. "For you Love I suppose I can do that."

Katie watches as his lanky figure crosses the room to the woman at the table. He shoots her a wink before he bends down and starts writing something on the tablet on the table.

Before he can make it back to the table where Katie is sitting he is called up to the stage.

"This young man is taking a break from his role in the traveling tour of 'West Side Story'.  Please give a big round of applause for Grant Gustin."

Grant's eyes meet Katie's and he opens his mouth to sing. A beautiful rendition of an Aaron Tevitt song filling the room up.

The room is hushed as Grant's voice washes over them. But it feels like, at least to Katie, that the beautiful, talented, green eyed man on stage is singing for her and only her. His eyes bright and twinkling the entire time.

A giant grin is still prominent on his face as he makes his way back to their table. Slipping into his previously vacated seat.

"So is that what you had in mind Kittie Kat??"

In lieu of a response, Katie just grabs his tie and pulls him closer to her. Connecting their lips together in a sweet, sensual kiss.

When they break for air, her lips just a hairs breadth away, she finally voices her opinion on the matter.

"It was perfect Tommy, just perfect."

(A/N: you can tell how big of a slacker I am with this story. I originally intended to publish this chapter for Grant's birthday, in January. But I put off finishing writing it. So hear we are in April. I hope you like it anyway. 💞 Shann)
