The two werecats stared at each other.
Martha Anderson wasn't quite sure what might be going through Jenna's mind at the moment, but she knew what was on her's.
Or more precisely, her libido.
"Can you give me a moment?" Martha asked, before quickly ducking back inside.
Seconds later, she was back at the door holding a slip of paper.
"I hope this isn't too forward of me, but this is my personal cell number. Besides the fact that I would like a massage once you're up and running in Moon Lake, if you ever need anyone to talk to, or..."
"I'd like that," replied Jenna, taking the paper from Martha. She looked at it for a moment, then reached into the candy bag she was carrying and pulled out her own cellphone.
Seconds later, Martha heard her cellphone ringing behind her.
"Don't bother answering that. It's just me," said Jenna, putting the phone back in her candy bag. "Now we have each other's number," she added with a smile.
"I look forward to seeing you again sometime," said Martha with a smile of her own.
"Me too," said Jenna as the kids around her started protesting it was well past time to get back to candy collecting.
Then, just as everyone started to leave, Jenna turned back and gave Martha a quick kiss.
It was short. Their respective lips barely met, yet both werecats started purring until Jenna had to break away to follow the children.
"I will definitely call you sometime. Soon!" promised Jenna, before disappearing into the night with her charges.
Martha just leaned against the open front door frame and purred in contentment until the next group of Trick or Treaters approached.
MEANWHILE...
"What do you think of Valentine's Day next year?" Karen asked her new fiance Peter Talbot.*
"Kenya, are you crying?" Ben Twist asked his date.**
"Isn't it beautiful?" she asked in return, before laying her head on his shoulder.
Uncertain what else to do, Ben put his arm around her and whispered in Kenya's werepanthress ear, "You know how I feel about you dear. I'd marry you right now, if I could."
"I know, my darling werewolf. And you know I would happily say 'I do' and spend the rest of my life with you," she replied, before hugging him. "I also know we must wait until you graduate high school, but you're definitely worth waiting for," added Kenya, before kissing him.
When their muzzles parted, Ben looked at Kenya and said, "Funny. I was going to say the same thing about you."
The couple smiled and looked at each other.
"Would you like to dance?" Ben asked, as the werewolf disc jockey started to play ♫Do You Believe In Magic (In A Young Girl's Heart)?♫ by John Sebastian and the Loving Spoonful.***
"Would you be upset if I said what I really want is to be loved and held for the rest of eternity?"
"No," he replied, kissing the tip of Kenya's nose while lovingly caressing her furry neck and shoulders. "I know just the place. Let's grab a couple of bottles of water and some of that pizza and lets get out of here," suggested Ben.
Kenya simply smiled and followed him to the buffet table.
Moments later, they were starting to leave when they passed a familiar couple.
"Hi moms. Bye moms," said Ben, rushing past.
"Hello Mrs. and Mrs. Twist. Goodbye Mrs. and Mrs. Twist. It was nice to see you again," said Kenya, as the couple left the gym.
"Well, a little after 9. I'm surprised Ben stayed that long this year," commented Samantha Twist to her wife.
"At least Ben and Kenya were polite when they passed us," observed Frances Twist. "But did you see that look on their faces?"
"They're in love. And I don't mean the kind that just lasts until the next possibility comes along either," said their friend Jen Decker. "Those two are as seriously in love as you two are, and as me and Jeff were before he was killed."
"Hey. His killer was caught and you're here now," said Samantha, before hugging her sister werecat.
"My wife's a little terse at times, but she's right. The plan for tonight is to kick back and relax," said Frances, before the other werecat hugged Jen too.
"You're right," agreed Jen. "But mark my words, I think we just saw Ben and his future wife leave the dance tonight."
"From what Frances and I've seen, we don't doubt you," agreed Samantha. "Anyone want some punch?"
"You better make it bottled water for three, since we might not get the chance to refill our cups before our turn at chaperoning ends," advised Frances, not knowing she just saved the three of them from accidentally drinking Alice Decrux's punch tainted with the powerful aphrodisiac she calls Love Potion #9.***
Hmm... as much as I miss Jeff, I wonder if Samantha and Frances would be interested in a threesome later? wondered Jen Decker, as she watched Samantha leave for the refreshments table and Frances' tail swish behind her sexy werecat ass.****
