"Oh no my mother is not that stupid she is not that stupid." Charles thought to himself.

"Hello" said the police as he trying to get answers.

"Look my mom is no way near a terrorist.  She's a bit ditzy and naive but she's no terrorist." said Charles.

"I need you to come to the station son." said the officer.

"I'm sure you are making a terrible mistake."said Charles.

Soon Cassie woke up.

"Charles what's going on?" asked Cassie.

"Nothing go back to sleep Cassie." said Charles.

"Is everything alright Charles?  WHere are you going?" asked Cassie.

"Down to the station.  My mom got herself arrested at the airport." said Charles.

"What!?!?" shocked Cassie.

"They found a bag of money she had to pay for the ransom and they she had a gun on her.  They think she is one of the terrorist attacks." said Charles.

"OMG what on earth was she's thinking?" asked Cassie.

"That's he whole problem she doesn't think." said Charles.


"We better get your dad to get her out." said Cassie.

"Are you crazy?  If we drag my dad in this.  He'll know that my mom is a millionare and he won't havey anything to do with me anymore." said Charles.

"That's ridiculous Charles." said Cassie.

"Just leave my dad out of this." said Charles.

"Alright at least let me go to the station with you." said Cassie.

"No I need you to stay here where it safe." said Charles.

"Charles please don't leave me all by myself." said Cassie.

"Cassie nothing bad will happen to you I promise.  I'll have cellphone on I'll ring to let me in." said Charles.

"(Sigh) Okay Charles be careful." said Cassie as she kissed Charles.

After Charles left Cassie pace back and forth.

"What am I going to do?  I need someone to talk to. I wanna talk to Robin but he probably off flying back to Sea School by nowI can't call Kate and worry her with my problems. I know I'll call Dana she'll know what to do." said Cassie.

Cassie quickly called Dana.

Dana was relaxing with a bottle of wine in the den, watching TV when the phone rang. She saw on the caller ID that the call was from Hawaii.

“Well it’s about time Marla called to see how things are going,” she said outloud to herself before picking it up.

“Marla? What took you so long to call?” she asked not bothering to say hello first.

“Dana? This is Cassie!”

“Cassie??? Sweetheart, if you’re looking to talk to the twins again, you gotta call home. They ain’t here anymore,” Dana said, feeling a little buzz.

“Thanks Dana, but I called to talk to you,” Cassie explained.

“Oh……you’re such a sweet girl, Cassie. And those twins of yours are just ANGELS. They gave me NO trouble AT ALL. You can leave them with me ANYTIME! You hear me?”

“I’m glad to hear that,” Cassie said relieved. “They can be a handful at times.”

“Say what? Not Colin and Kalie! I don’t know WHAT you talkin ‘bout girl! Those kids are ANGELIC. You hear me? ANGELIC!!” Dana insisted.

“Dana, are you feeling okay?” Cassie asked, sensing Dana wasn’t herself.

“Girl, I’m feeling fine as wine!” Dana said, smiling and looking at the wine glass in her hand.

“Oh, well that’s good,” Cassie replied uncertainly.

“How you feeling, Cassie? You getting back to normal, girl?” Dana asked sympathetically.

“Well…….I WAS. I had a great time last night with Charles at the Luau,” she said.

“LUAU? You went to a real honest to God LUAU? Cassie, girl, you got the life! I wish I could go to a Luau!” Dana said enviously.

“Yeah, it was fun. Mrs. A was there too, and Charles’ Dad,” Cassie added.

“You lyin! You mean to tell me Marla is creepin around behind Bill’s back?!” Dana asked, ready for some gossip.

“They said they weren’t together---like that,” Cassie said.

“Yeah, right!” Dana said doubtfully. “You can believe that if you want to. That Marla is a hot tamale if I ever seen one!”

“Speaking of Mrs. A, I have something to tell you,” Cassie began.

“Well when the phone rang just now I thought YOU were Marla. Why ain’t she called?”

“She’s in some trouble, Dana,” Cassie answered.

“Oh Jesus. Why ain’t I surprised? What she do now?” Dana asked.

“She got arrested and charged with terrorist activity,” Cassie replied.

“Bah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!” Dana laughed loudly. “You wanna come again, Cassie?”

“I’m not kidding, Dana. Mrs. A was on her way home this morning. She went to the airport and had her gun with her and the ransom money in a duffle bag. I guess she forgot about all of the anti-terrorism laws! When she got searched, they found the loaded gun and put two and two together and decided she must be up to no good!” Cassie explained.

“You’re serious, aint you?” Dana asked in a state of disbelief.

“YES!!!” Cassie said impatiently.

“Mmmph, mmmph, mmmph…..” Dana moaned. “I can’t BELIEVE this….”

“Charles is at the police station now trying to straighten everything out!” Cassie continued.

“L O R D……Cassie………these white people are just too much for me, girl!” Dana said, shaking her head.

“Dana! Forget about that! I’m worried for Mrs. A! Charles thinks he can just go down there and explain and fix everything, but she needs a LAWYER. She’s in BIG TROUBLE. Getting charged with terrorist activity is no joke these days since 9/11!”

“I know, I know,” Dana agreed. “A lawyer aint such a bad idea.”

“Charles’ Dad is a lawyer, but Charles doesn’t want to get him involved!” Cassie complained.

“Well your grandfather is a judge, isn’t he?” Dana replied.

A light bulb went off in Cassie’s head. “YES!!!! OMG!!! DANA---I forgot all about Grandpa Bradshaw!!!“ Cassie admitted.

“I really liked your grandfather when I stayed at his house in San Diego,” Dana reminisced.

“Yes and he liked you too!” Cassie replied.

“So that settles it then! Call your grandpa, girl!” Dana urged, sipping her wine.

“Oh thanks, Dana! I KNEW you’d know how to handle this!” Cassie gushed.

“Aw shucks…….” Dana replied bashfully.

“I love you, Dana!” Cassie continued, pouring it on thick.

“Me too. Just call me back and lemme know how everything’s going with my girl Marla!”

“I will, I will! Bye!” Cassie said as she rushed to end the call.

Meanwhile in San Diego Judge Bradshaw was at the house enjoying his quiet time.  Until the phone.

"Arrrgh it's getting so a man can't relax in his own house." complained Bradshaw.

Judge picked up the phone and answered it.

"Who is it?" asked Judge Bradshaw.

"Grandpa it's me Cassie." she answered.

"Cassie how is my favorite granddaughter doing?" asked Judge Bradshaw.

"I'm doing pretty good...I guess.  I'm in Hawaii." said Cassie.

"Hawaii?  Child what are you doing in Hawaii?  You should back home in school and taking care of the twins.  Didn't that father of yours teach you kids any priority?" asked Judge Bradshaw.

"My parents I needed a vacation.  Anyway I spending it with my fiance'" said Cassie.

"You're engaged?  To who?  Wait a it's Robin isn't it.  You and Robin finally came to your senses and hooked up and now you both are getting married.  I knew there is something special about that boy.  Someone upstairs love me.  Robin will make a wonderful husband.  Let me tell your grandmother." said excited Judge Bradshaw.

"Grandpa Bradshaw slow down." said Cassie.

"Come down quick our granddaughter Cassie is engaged and she engaged to my boy Robin." said Judge Bradshaw.

His wife screamed with happy and excitement.

"Grandpa calmed I'm not engaged to Robin.  Him and I are just friends." said Cassie.

"Huh?  Then who are you marrying sweetheart?" asked Judge Bradshaw.

"You remember Charles.  Charles Antoni my boyfriend.  The father of my children." said Cassie.

"Oh yeah (sigh) how could I forget..the other white meat." said disppointed Judge Bradshaw.

Then Bradshaw told his wife that Cassie is marrying Charles with bug disappointment but his wife is still happy for Cassie.

"Grandpa Charles is wonderful person." said Cassie.

"Yeah Yeah yeah congratulation...so why did you call me?" asked Judge Bradshaw.

"Because Charles has a problem on his hand." said Cassie.

"He realizing he's marrying a black girl." said Bradshaw.

"Grandpa be nice!  You didn't act like that when you thought I was engaged to Robin." said Cassie.

"Robin's different!  So what's going with that Antoni boy?" asked Judge Bradshaw.

"Sit down I got a story to tell you." said Cassie.

Meanwhile, Marla Antoni is pacing back and forth in a jail cell when finally she hears the sound of footsteps approaching. Soon one of the guards is at her cell and unlocks it.

“Let’s go,” he tells her.

“You mean I’m released?!” she asked, hopeful.

He frowned. “No. You have a visitor,” he told her as he escorted her to the visiting area.

Marla knew it would be Charles. She saw him sitting behind a thick plexi-glass window with a telephone on his side and one on her side. His face was full of anxiety.

She sat in front of him with the window between them and looked sad as she picked up the phone to talk. He quickly picked up his phone.

“I’m sorry about this, Mom,” he apologized. “I should’ve warned you not to bring that gun with you on the plane!”

“Charles, it was early in the morning when I stopped by your hotel suite. You weren’t thinking about Homeland Security and neither was I! It’s just one of those things…..”

“Just one of those things??? I don’t think so, Mom! This is serious!” Charles corrected her.

“Charles, the court is gonna assign me an attorney and when I explain the situation, I’m sure everything will get cleared up. Afterall, I don’t have a criminal record. This is my first time offense. If anything, they’ll at least let me out on bail. And thanks to my lottery winnings, I’ll have no problem posting the bond,” she explained.

“The law is pretty tough on terror suspects, Mom. This might not be as cut and dry as you think,” Charles warned.

“Gee thanks, Charles. You really know how to cheer a person up!” she replied sarcastically.

“I’m just being realistic, Mom. Look around you! This is not some rinky dink jail house. They have you behind bullet proof glass! This is high security, and I don’t know how to help you, Mom. Just tell me what to do!” Charles said, worried.

“Honey, don’t get yourself all upset. I’ll be okay,” she tried to comfort him.

"I really hope you're right mom.  I'm really scared for you right now." said Charles.

"Don't be Charles.  Everything is going to be just fine.  Just stay strong for the both of us alright." said Marla.

"I'll try mom! I'll try, but it's not going to be easy." said Charles.

Meanwhile back at Lincoln Heights Robin and Lulu arrived at the Sutton Household.

"Remember Boo we can't stay too long. We have to be at the amtrak train son." said Lulu.

"Not to worry babe!  We have plenty of time." said Robin.

"But we are already late." said Lulu.

"Lulu it wouldn't kill us just to stay for a few extra minutes." said Robin.

"(Sigh)" Lulu responded.

Robin rang the doorbell and Nate answered and opened the door and gave Robin that mean look.

"Hey Nate whatsup!" said Robin.

"That Nate Ray to you." said Nate.

"Whatever!?!?  We came here to pick up the cookies Mrs. Sutton baked for us." said Robin.

Nate continued to give Robin that evil stare.

"Nate hello."Lulu responded.

"Uh you want to move out of our damn since you are not even going to bother speaking?" asked Robin sarcasticly.

Suddely Nate slammed the door in Robin and Lulu face.  Lizzie saw what happened and she was disgusted.

"Nate what is wrong you?" snapped Lizzie.

Lizzie push Nate out of the way and invited Robin and Lulu in.

"Guys I am so sorry about Nate.  I don't know what is up with him." said Lizzie.

"That's okay but your brother need to learn some damn manners." said Robin.

"Mannrs?  Boy you better watch who you are talking to." said Nate as he was about to be in Robin's face.

"Man I ain't afraid of you. So you better back off." snapped Robin.

"Whoa whoa guys what is going on here?" asked Tay.

"Tay stay out of this." said Nate.

"Nate calme down man!  Before you do something you'll regret." said Tay.

"Alright fine whatever." said Nate.

"Come on we'll listen to some new tracks in my room." said Tay.

"Alright cool.  Lizzie I want out of here." said Nate.

Tay and Nate left.  Lulu was confused.

"What is wrong with him?" asked Lulu.

"I don't know what has goetten into him but Robin you have got to watch what you say around Nate Ray.  He just got back from Afganistan and been through a rough experience." said Lizzie.

"I know and I'm sorry shorty.  I just hated when people try to get in my face like that." said Robin.

"Lets go to the kitchen guys." said Lizzie.

"Good idea." said Lulu.

Jenn was in the kitchen putting the cookies into a container when Lulu and Robin came in.

“Hey you two! You’re right on time! Look at what I’ve got for YOU!” Jenn said, beaming proudly as she held up the container full of cookies.

Lulu gave her a huge smile. “Oh Mrs. Sutton……you’re a doll! Thank you SO MUCH!”

Robin took the cookies from Jenn and gave her a big hug. “Thanks Mom,” he said.

“Oh Robin……you called me MOM,” Jenn replied, pleasantly surprised.

“I know. I mean it. That’s how I feel about you,” he told her quietly.

“Me too!” Lulu agreed, hugging Jenn. “MOM!”

Jenn laughed as the three of them enjoyed a group hug. Then Lizzie joined in and made it four.

"You two better brings some more pictures when you get from your semester." said Jenn.

"Will do!" said Robin.

"Robin you and Lulu got to invite me over to visit your Sea School." said Lizzie.

"We'll have a word with our headmaster about it and if it is alright your parents you can come visit us." said Robin.

"Oh thank you Robin you're greatest." said Lizzie hugging Robin.

"Umm aren't you forgetting someone?" asked Lulu feeling left out.

"I never forget you thanks Lulu." said Lizzie hugging Lulu as well.

"You better not forget me." laughed Lulu.

"I won't!" said Lizzie.

"And you better hold on to Andrew.  He looks like he's a keeper." said Lulu.

Lizzie laughed!

Meanwhile back in San Diego Judge Bradshaw was still on the phone with Cassie. He was shocked with what she has told him.

"Child how on earth did you ever get yourself involved with those people?" asked Judge Bradshaw.

"Charles mom mean well and overall she's a good person.  She just doesn't think that's all." said Cassie.

"Now I can see where Charles gets it from." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Granddad!" annoyed Cassie.

"Alright alright I'm sorry." said Judge Bradshaw.

"So are you going to help us?" asked Cassie.

"Cassandra Sutton you are my granddaughter of course I will help.  I'll do everything that I can but I'm going to be honest with you this isn't going to be easy.  Terrorism act is a serious offense.  It's going to take everything to get Charles' mother out of this mess." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Thanks Granddad! I knew I can count on you." said Cassie hanging up.

"Jesus Christ! I'm gonna need to soak in a bathtub on this one." said Judge Bradshaw.

Soon Bradshaw's wife walked in and notice Bradshaw was stressed out.

batman642

“Coleman, what’s the matter?” she asked, concerned.

He shook his head in despair.

“Could you run me a hot bath?” he asked.

“Uh oh……now I KNOW something is wrong!” she replied.

“Cassie gave me some very disturbing news,” he told his wife as they headed for the bathroom.

“Please don’t tell me her babies are sick…..”

“Thank God no. But she had me on the phone over an hour. You wouldn’t believe all that she’s been through lately!”

“And of course Jennifer never called us!” Beverly said, annoyed.

“Call us? I’m surprised Jennifer isn’t a basket case! Our duaghter has to deal with so much being married to that Sutton character!”

“Well are you gonna tell me what’s been going on over there or not, Coleman? You’re talking in circles for crying out loud!” Beverly complained.

“Well, it all started when Charles found out that his real father is alive and well. Turns out he’s the son of some prominent attorney, Wes Benjamin.”

“Have you ever heard of him?” Beverly asked.

“The name sounds familiar. Anyway, Charles and Cassie went to Santa Monica to meet his father, but his father rejected him and tried to pass him off as his nephew. Charles was devastated and practically suicidal. Eddie came to the rescue and talked some sense into Charles and took him under his wing---the idiot.

“COLEMAN! Charles is the father of Cassie’s twins! Eddie did right!”

“ANYWAY…..everything was going fine until Charles long lost brother came to Lincoln Heights to visit and got Charles’ head all screwed up. Charles started partying and missed taking his SATS. Cassie, of course, did well on her exams. Then she went to New York for her 18th birthday and Naomi introduced her to Julien -- an aspiring artist from Pratt. He kind of screwed up Cassie’s head and got her wanting to go to Pratt instead of staying in California and going to college with Charles. When Charles found out about Julien he was upset and put his relationship with Cassie on hold so she could do what she wanted to do without him standing in her way.”

“Oh…..poor Cassie. I know she must’ve been so torn---wanting to go to college in NY and wanting to be with Charles. And then for Charles to put her on hold…..tsk, tsk, tsk,” Beverly sympathized.

“Not only did he put her on hold, but then he enlisted in the army!”

“What??? Oh no, that’s just going too far!”

“He figured the army would pay for his education.”

“But what about Cassie? What about the twins?!”

“You haven’t heard the half, Beverly. Let me finish!”

“I’m listening.”

“So YOUR GRANDAUGHTER, gets the brilliant idea to propose marriage to Charles so they’d always be together no matter what!”

“Well at least they didn’t sneak off and get married!”

“They tried, Beverly. They tried! Fortunately, they decided to wait until the family could be a part of it.”

“That’s my grandaughter!” she said proudly.

“But Charles’ parents got wind of this secret wedding and Marla and Wes Benjamin showed up for what turned out to be a NON wedding. Wes had a change of heart towards Charles, and when he found out there was no wedding, he offered to get Charles out of his commitment to the Army and he also decided to send the two kids on a trip to Hawaii.”

“Wow! WE’ve never been to Hawaii and we’ve been married almost 40 years, Coleman!” Beverly remarked a little jealous.

“Well, Beverly, you know how these kids are today. They do everything backwards! First they have kids, then they go on a honeymoon and then they get married!”

“Times certainly have changed,” Beverly agreed.

“So that’s where Cassie is now. In Hawaii, recuperating from a kidnapping incident!”

“KIDNAPPING INCIDENT???”

“Now do you see why I need a nice hot bath???”

“I need a stiff drink!” Beverly said.

Coleman continued:

“Their first afternoon in Hawaii, someone snatched Cassie out of her hotel suite and held her for millions of dollars in ransom. Charles’ mother won all that lottery money so she came to the rescue. She flew out to Hawaii with a bag full of cash to pay the ransom. Jenn and Eddie went out too. Fortunately, the kidnappers got busted without anyone getting hurt and Marla kept her money.”

“Who would kidnap our Cassie?”

“Some lovesick perverts! A teacher that Charles rejected and a blind date that Cassie rejected. They put their two sick heads together and schemed up this whole twisted plot!”

“Well the main thing is Cassie is alright, thank God!”

“Yes she is. But Marla Antoni is in a heap of trouble!” Coleman replied.

“Marla? Why? She was just trying to help…..” Beverly replied puzzled.

“Seems that little Miss Mafia princess owns a gun and had the nerve to carry it with her on the plane to protect the bag of money she was transporting back and forth. She got to Hawaii without any trouble, but on her way back to California the airport screeners discovered the gun and now she’s locked up on charges of terrorism! And THAT’S why Cassie called. She wants me to help her future mother-in-law get out of this legal mess she’s in!”

Beverly turned the faucet off. “Your bath is ready, Coleman. I’m going to get the Vodka.”

"Thanks save some of that Vodka because I gonna need some of that while soaking in the tub." said Judge Bradshaw.

"(Sigh) kids" said Beverly.

"I keep telling Cassie wouldn't be in all this drama if she hook up and married Robin.' said Judge Bradshaw.

"Shut up and take your bath." annoyed Beverly.

Meanwhile back in Hawaii Cassie was pacing back and forth worrying about Charles and Marla.  Suddenlly her cellphone rang.

"Charles is that you?" asked Cassie.

"Yes open the door.  I'm back." said Charles.

Cassie opened and let Charles in.

"Oh Charles it's been a longtime.  I was getting worried." said Cassie hugging Charles.

"Yeah this is way too unbelievbale." said Charles.

"So what happened?" asked Cassie.

"Well my mom is in good spirit I can tell you that much. She saids she hired an attorney but I have a bad feeling that even money won't get my mom out." said Charles.

"Charles I just talk to my Granddad Bradshaw and he say he may help us." said Cassie.

"Really how?" asked Charles.

“He’s a JUDGE Charles--he knows people in high places,” Cassie explained.

“Hey--I forgot about that--that’s great news, Cassie!” Charles said, suddenly feeling much better.

Smiling, he gave Cassie a big hug and held her in his arms for a long time.

“I just know everything’s gonna work out,” he told her.

“Me too, Charles,” she said, trying to keep him positive.

“Why don’t we go out for lunch?” he suggested.

“Hmm……sounds nice!”:

She hurried and grabbed her purse and sunglasses.

“Any place special you’d like to go?” he asked as they waited for the elevator.

“Charles, any place is special as long as I’m there with you,” she told him as she rested her head on his shoulder.

Meanwhile, Robin and Lulu were boarding the Amtrak train.

"Thank God we made it just in time." said Robin.

"We wouldn't be going through all this trouble if we would've taken a plane Robin." said Lulu.

"Lulu don't start that again." said Robin.

"Robin I seriously you need to talk to someone about this." said Lulu.

"No I don't!  I'm perfectly fine." said Robin.

"Then why are you keep refusing to take the plane then?  Sooner or later you are going to need to fly that plane.  You can't depend on a bus and train all the time." said Lulu.

"Can we please dropped the subject and enjoy the train ride." said Robin.

"Fine whatever! Give me my cookie." said Lulu.

Robin pulled out the cookies Jenn made for them. Suddenly he started eating and hogging the cookies.

"Robin you greedy jerk!" snapped Lulu.

"Those cookies taste good." said Robin munching on the cookies.

Lulu went and jumped on Robin.

"Robin Mrs. Sutton made those cookies for us.  Let me have one." whined Lulu.

"Nah" said Robin teasing Lulu.

"God Robin you play too damn much." said Lulu as she kept hitting Robin.

Soon the two was play fighting moments later they ended up making out.  Minutes later the train started to move and Robin fed Lulu some cookies and kissing her neck at the sametime.

“You are one nasty freak! You know that?’ whispered a familiar voice in Robin’s ear.

Robin cringed, recognizing the voice, and stopped fooling around with Lulu. Slowly he turned his head to face the person speaking in his ear, although he dreaded the thought of face-to-face contact.

When their eyes met, Robin scowled.

“Hey Rob! Hey Lu!” shouted Tawanna as she stood in the aisle towering over them, grinning.

“TAWANNA!! Hey girl!!” Lulu responded, surprised.

Tawanna shoved Robin’s shoulder. “Aint you gonna say nothin?” she asked him rudely.

“Believe me, you don’t wanna hear what I’ve got to say,” he warned her.

Tawanna sucked her teeth. “I see you haven’t changed any!” she replied annoyed.

“Tawanna, what are you doing here?” Lulu asked.

“I’m goin back to school just like you two---what you think?” she responded.

“By train and bus?” Lulu inquired.

“YES----BY TRAIN AND BUS! IT’S CHEAPER!” she announced loudly.

“Are you gonna stand in the aisle for the whole trip?” Robin asked sarcastically.

“NO I’M NOT GONNA STAND THE WHOLE WAY!” she snapped, plopping in the seat across from them.

“Oh this is just great……” Robin moaned sourly.

Lulu nudged him. “Be nice, Boo!” she whispered.

“Well you got your wish, Lulu,” he told her.

“Huh?” she asked puzzled.

“Next time I’ll be flying,” he promised.

Lulu giggled. “Yay!” she replied as she squeezed his arm lovingly.

Robin scowled at Tawanna angrily as the train sped down the tracks.

Meanwhile back at the Sutton household Tay was playing his new song to Nate but Nate mind was somewhere else.

"That damn Robin!  Blast Cassie hanging out with white dudes.  Blast Lizzie for hanging out with Robin.  I don't know what the hell those two girls see in him?  Robin think he's pretty slick!  Robin got this whole family wrapped unter his little finger.  He think he's slick huh.  Robin foolin' nobody.  I'm on to him. He got my sister creepin with him behind her fiancee' back and my other sister is just head over heels and too blind to see Robin for what he really is.  I'm on to Robin and I'm going to expose him one of these days.  I just need to find the right time." muttered Nate.

"Hey Nate...Nate....NATE wake up man!!!" said Tay as he snapped his finger at Nate.

"Oh my bad Tay.  Whatsup!" said Nate.

"I was asking you what do you think of my new song."?" asked Tay.

"Oh the new song is tight.  You are really putting it down Tay." said Nate.

"Thanks!  Nate can I asked you something?" asked Tay.

"Tay we're brothers you can ask me anything." said Nate.

"That Jamie Foxx song I played that Thanksgiving night.  What did you think of the song?" asked Tay trying to get an opinion so he can understand.

batman642

Nate sighed. “Tay, I ain‘t gonna front---the song‘s kickin. The beat is fly and all. But you gotta realize that dad has daughters, and that song is disrespectful towards young ladies. It‘s talkin about the affect of alcohol on a young woman…….girls feelin loose with their panties off? Come on, bro. The first few words should tell you all you need to know. And let’s not even talk about feelin on your butt what? Would you like somebody doing that to Lizzie?”

Tay thought about what Nate was saying.

“But it’s just a song---it’s not real, Nate.”

“Music can be very influential, Tay. And some people--especially young people--are very impressionable. What they hear, they do. So SOME guys might do what the song tells ‘em to do. Get a girl drunk and then go for broke---no what I’m sayin?” Nate asked.

Tay shrugged.

“That’s why Dad came down so hard on you, Tay. He don’t want you to be one of those guys that just uses females for sex and will do anything to get what he wants out of a female.”

“Like Devin,” Tay remarked, thinking about his comments regarding Kendra.

“And he doesn’t want you to become an alcoholic either,” Nate added.

“Like Charles,” Tay commented.

“CHARLES?!” Nate responded in shock.

“Yeah. He’s got an alcohol problem. He went through therapy and everything,” Tay told his brother.

“Word?” Nate asked, curious.

Tay nodded. “Once he was drunk and gave Cassie a black eye.”

“Say WHAT???” Nate responded furiously.

“They said it was an accident. Charles was drunk and she got hit by accident,” Tay tried to explain.

“I don’t know about our sister, Tay! I don’t know about Cassie! She can really pick some winners!” Nate said angrily.

“Don’t trip, Nate. Charles is a cool dude. He’s clean and sober now,” Tay assured him.

Nate tried to calm himself down.

“Listen, we were talking about the song, right?” Tay continued, changing the subject.

“Yeah……yeah. The song. Do you understand now why Dad doesn’t go for it?” Nate asked his younger brother.
Candygwen

"Yeah I suppose!" said Tay.

"You suppose?  Do you or don't you?" asked Nate.

"Yeah I understand." said Tay.

"Good!  Your music is very influential Tay.  Look how much your music touched me and the troops and vetrans. And you got Trey Songz singing with you and don't get me started about the MJ tribute even though I wasn't there your music says alot.  Most of these artist today sing and rap nothing but sex and money nothing really meaningful plus they are in the business for all the wrong reason. and those are usually the one won't last very long in the business.  Tay you have a gift and you use it very wisely.  Keep on doing your thing and lower yourself to degrade women and sing about sex a, money and drugs.  That 's not what music is about.  Stay on the positive side." said Nate.

"Okay I will Nate." said Tay.

"Good that's the way I like to hear my lil bro talking." said Nate.


"Thanks Nate!" said Tay.

"Anytime!" said Nate.

Tay continued playing his new song.  Eddie and Jenn came up with Natalie and the twins to hear Tay's new song.

Natalie and the twins started dancing. Jenn, Eddie and Nate all smiled, watching, listening and enjoying themselves.

But before long, Natalie started to do the butterfly moves that Dana taught her on Thanksgiving, and the twins tried their best to bump and grind although they weren’t’ doing a very good job.

“JENN! Look at them!” Eddie exclaimed, pointing.

Tay stopped the music.

Jenn quickly pulled the twins apart and chastised Natalie.

“Stop it right now, you three! Dance nicely!” she ordered them.

The three children looked puzzled.

“We ARE dancing nice!” Natalie objected, pouting.

Nate caught Tay’s eye across the room. “See what I mean Tay? See how impressionable they are? Imagine what they’ll be doing when they’re your age,” he said.

Tay scratched his head.

"(Sigh) I guess you are right." said Tay.

Tay walk torward to Natalie and the twins.

"Hey you guys I'm going to teach you a better way to dance....the right way." said Tay.

"What does he mean the right way?" asked Jenn.

"Tay careful they are still babies." said Eddie.

"Dad I got this.  Trust me." said Tay.

"That's what I'm afraid of." said Eddie.

Tay cleared the floor and he started to remember some of the dancestep Rueben have taught him Tay started to dance and Natalie and the twins starting to like Tay's dancing.  Eddie, Jenn, and Nate was liking Tay's dancing as well.  Soon Natalie, Colin and Kalie was doing Tay dance.  Nate was impressed.

"Good boy Tay! Good boy." said Nate as he grin at Tay.

Soon Lizzie walked in and saw Tay, Natalie and the twins dancing.

"What are you all doing?" asked Lizzie.

"I'm howing them a better way to dance without the R rated stuff." said Tay.

"Cool but you are doing a lousy job." said Lizzie.

"What are you talking about?" asked Tay.

"Let me show you how it's done." said Lizzie.

Soon Lizzie started to dance.  Everyone was impressed.

As soon as the music ended and Lizzie stopped dancing, the phone rang. Jenn answered it when she saw the name Bradshaw on the caller ID.

“Hello?” she answered, a smile in her voice.

“Jennifer. This is your mother.”

“Hi Mom!” she replied cheerfully. “It’s so nice to hear from you. How are you and Dad doing?”

“We WERE fine until we got a call from Cassie,” Beverly answered.

“Oh…….” Jenn responded, concerned. “I guess she told you what happened to her. I wish she hadn’t.”

“You wish she hadn’t??? Jennifer!! We have a right to know what’s going on with our own flesh and blood!” Beverly argued.

“I didn’t want you to be upset, Mom. That’s why I didn’t tell you---especially since Cassie wasn’t harmed,” Jenn tried to explain.

“Well thanks for nothing!” Beverly snapped.

“It was all over the news, Mom. Don’t you and Dad watch the news?” Jenn asked, getting annoyed.

“Apparently we missed THAT story!” she said sarcastically.

“I can’t believe Cassie would call you guys and tell you that! She’s supposed to be recuperating and trying to enjoy herself in Hawaii with Charles……” Jenn remarked.

“Hmmm……sounds to me like you’re the one in the dark now!” Beverly commented.

“Meaning?”

“Cassie didn’t call to tell us about the kidnapping. It just came up in conversation as she tried to get us caught up with everything that’s been happening. But the main reason she called is because her future mother-in-law is in hot water down in Hawaii,” Beverly informed her daughter.

“Her future--wait a minute---MARLA? What’s going on with Marla?” Jenn wanted to know.

“Oh….so you ARE in the dark! How does it feel now that the shoe is on the other foot?” Beverly taunted.

“Mom! Enough! What’s going on with Marla?” Jenn demanded.

The rest of the family had quieted down and were listening in as Jenn argued with Beverly, wondering what was going on.

“Marla is in jail. She’s been charged with terrorist activity. Cassie called to let us know because she wants your father to help get Marla out of jail him being a judge and all,” ,” Beverly answered.

“Mom you CAN’T be serious! That’s the CRAZIEST thing I’ve ever heard! MARLA a TERRORIST!! There must be some mistake!” Jenn replied alarmed.

As they listened to Jenn’s reaction, Eddie, Nate, Lizzie and Tay looked on in disbelief.

"Well they caught her with a bag full of money and a gun." said Beverly.

"Oh no!  That's must be the ransom money they saw." said Jenn.

"Ransom money/" shocked Beverly.

"Yes when kidnapped Cassie my daughter you granddaughter they held her for ransom." said Jenn.

"ANd the gun?" asked Beverly.

"Marla was once married to the mob remember?  She probably got used to carrying the gun all the time unaware of the tight security." said Jenn.

"You know Jenn this is all your fault!" snaped Beverly.

"My fault??" snapped Jenn.

"How in the hell you allow your daughter get involve with that type of family?" angered Beverly.

"Do not blame this on me!" angered Jenn.

"I'll place the blame on whoever I want" said Beverly.

"You know if you are going to keep calling and disrespecting me all the time you can get off my phone RIGHT NOW!!!" snapped Jenn as she hung up on Beverly.

"Hello...Hello...Hello...That girl have lost her damn mind hanging up on me!" angered Beverly.

"Wow I never seen mom that upset." said Tay.

"Me niether." said Lizzie.

"Nate take Tay, lizzie and the rest of the kids downstairs." said Eddie.

"Oh come on dad!  This is getting interesting." said Tay.

"Tay..Grown folks business lets go." said Nate.

"Oh alirght I can't wait until I'm 18." said Tay.

Nate took Tay, Lizzie, Natalie and the twins downstairs while Eddie tried to calm Jenn down and figure what do do.

"Jenn are you alright?" asked Eddie.

"Of course not!  That woman upset me evertime she calls." said Jenn.

"At least you know how I feel when I talk to your father." said Eddie.

"Eddie what are we going to do now?" asked Jenn.

batman642

“Well, Jenn, from the sound of things I’d say there’s not a whole lot we CAN do. Afterall, your father is a judge and he’s got much more pull than I’ve got. Cassie did the right thing calling him for help. Hopefully he can,” Eddie said as he massaged Jenn’s shoulders trying to ease the tension.

“If it’s not one thing it’s another, Eddie! Can’t we ever get a break?!” Jenn asked, fed up.

Eddie wrapped his arms around Jenn’s shoulders as he stood behind her, putting his cheek next to hers.

“Jenn, if I haven’t learned anything else in life, I’ve learned that things could always be worse. Let’s continue to count our blessings, shall we?” he said in a soothing voice.

Jenn sighed. “I’d expect something like that from Lizzie---not you,” she admitted.

“I’m full of surprises, Mrs. Sutton,” he told her, tenderly kissing her on the cheek.

Jenn turned around to face Eddie, laying her head on his shoulder and embracing him.

“I just need you to hold me for awhile,” she said softly, closing her eyes.

As Eddie stood quietly holding his wife in his arms, his mind raced.
Candygwen

"Sometime I don't know how lucky I am to have someone like Jenn." Eddie thought to himself.

Meanwhile in the kitchen Nate and the others was having icecream while Tay was stuck eating an apple.

"Story of my life!  You all get icecream while I always get stuck with the fruit." said Tay.

"Tay if you don't want the fruit you always get yourself a bowl of cereal." said Nate.

"Thanks that's very comforting." said Tay.

"Do you really think Mrs. Antoni is a terrorist?" asked Lizzie.

"Of course not.  Mrs Antoni would never do a thing like that...would she?" asked Tay.

"Of course not!  It's obvious that those people mistake her for a terrorist and she didn't think about the security.  This day in age you cannot take these things very litely especially after what happened in 9/11." said Nate.

"I really hope Grandpa Bradshaw will get Charles' mom out of this mess." said Lizzie.

"I hope so too." said Tay.

"Hey you two let change the subject little kids are present." said Nate.

Tay and Lizzie saw Natalie, Colin, & Kalie.

"Oops sorry." said Lizzie.

"Me too!" said Tay.

Suddenly the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." said Lizzie.

Lizzie left the kitchen to answer the door.  Tay saw Lizzie's bowl of icecream.

"Finally!" said Tay as he reached for Lizzie's bowl.

Then Nate stopped Tay before he could get a hold of  Lizzie's icecream.

"Boy don't you even think about it." said Nate.

"Dang you are worst than my parents." said Tay eating his apple.

"Hey you lucky I don't cut off your hand like they do in medievel times." joked Nate.

Meanwhile Lizzie opened the door and it was Devin.

"Devin!" surprised Lizzie.

"Hey Lizard whatsup!" said Devin.

"What are you doing here?" asked Lizzie.

"I'm here to see you." said Devin.

"Devin I thought we have already talked about this." confused Lizzie.

"I know I know I came here to give this.  Robin dowloaded the dragon's lair game to the CD so you can play while he's away." said Devin as handed Lizzie the CD.

"Cool!  I knew Robin wouldn't forget.  I can't wait to play this game.  I'll beat him yet and Dragon's Lair." said Lizzie.

"You know I'm just as good as Robin even better." said Devin.

"Oh really?" said Lizzie unconvinced.

"Maybe you and I can play one on one Dragon's Lair so I help you beat Robin." said Devin.

"Okay I'll think about it." said Lizzie.

Devin was still standing the door then he turned around and saw Andrew walking to the door.

"Umm Devin thank you!  And unless there's something else you want you can leave." said Lizzie.

"Matter of fact this is soemthing else I want." said Devin.

"What's that?" asked Lizzie.

"This!" said Devin

Suddenly Devin grabbed Lizzie and gave her a huge passionate kiss.  Devin was kissing Lizzie right in front of Andrew.

batman642

Andrew could tell from observing Lizzie’s body language that she wasn’t feeling the kiss at all. She was struggling, unsuccessfully, to get out from Devin’s grip.

Enraged, Andrew rushed up the porch steps to the house and grabbed Devin by the shoulder, pulling him away from Lizzie. But Devin was not surprised. In fact, he had been expecting, even hoping that Andrew would try to intercede so that he could punch him right in the face.

And that’s exactly what Devin did. As soon as he felt Andrew’s hand on his shoulder, he turned and sucker punched Andrew before Andrew got a chance to strike first.

Lizzie screamed and watched in horror as Andrew went flying backwards down the steps, landing flat on his back on the sidewalk below.

Lizzie ran down the steps and knelt at Andrew’s side as he lay there motionless on the ground. She looked up at Devin who was still standing on the porch and started yelling at him.

“DEVIN!!! YOU CREEP!!! LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID!!!”

She shook Andrew by the shoulders trying to get a response out of him.

Devin shrugged. “I was just defending myself!” he explained.

“GO GET HELP!! CALL AN AMBULANCE!! DO SOMETHING!! HE’S NOT MOVING!!” Lizzie screamed, panicking.
Candygwen

Devin ran into the house to look for a phone.  Nate and Tay came out to see what is going on.

"Devin what are you doing here?" asked Tay.

"Yeah what is going on here?" asked Nate.

"It's Andrew he's hurt real bad. But it wasn't my fault." said Devin.

Nate saw Lizzie outside holding Andrew crying.

"Nevermind who fault it is get the ambulance now!!!!  Tay get dad and your mom now!!!" said Nate.

"Sure thing!" said Tay.

Devin called the ambulance while Nate ran to the kitchen to grabbed a hughe towel and a tray of ice.  Nate ran back out to help Lizzie.

"Nate Andrew's dead!!! Devin killed him." cried Lizzie.

"No he's not!  He's gonna be alright place his head on this ice pack." siad Nate.

"Nae he's still not moving." said Lizzie.

"Lizzie calm down I know what I'm doing.  I deealt with situation like this before." said Nate.

Meanwhile Eddie was still consoling Jenn until he heard a kncoked on the door.

"Great this day will never die."  complained Eddie.

"Dad you got to come down stairs quick!!! Andrew is hurt will bad." said Tay.

"WHAT!!!" shocked Jenn.

"I was right the day that never dies." said Eddie.

"Eddie this is serious." said Jenn.

"Tay what happened?" asked Eddie.

"I don't know! Devin and Andrew must've been fighting over Lizzie and Devin must've lay one on Andrew and fell down." said Tay.

"We'll let Lizzie and Devin explained later.  Have you called the ambulance?" asked Eddie.

"Devin is calling the ambulance right now and Nate is outside with Lizzie looking after Andrew." said Tay.

"Good!" said Eddie.

Moments later the ambulance came and took in Andrew in a stratcher and drove off.  Eddie, Jenn, Lizzie and Nate went with them.

"Tay keep an eye on Natalie and the twins.  We'll be back soon." said Eddie.

"Sure thing dad...story of my life." said Tay.

Devin ran back to Monica's house and tried to pretend none of this ever happened.


Tay went back into the kitchen and saw that Natalie and the twins made a huge mess everywhere.

"OH no you guys didn't...damn you three were so much cuters as babies." whined Tay.

Meanwhile at the hospital everyone was waiting patiencely for Andrew.  It's been an hour until the docotr came out.

"Well?" Lizzie panic.

"Relax Andrew is going to be fine!  He just had little cuncussion but he'll be fine!  WHere are his parents?" asked The doctor.

"I just called his mom a few minutes ago she is on her way." said Jenn.

batman642

Meanwhile, back in Hawaii Chassie is finished eating lunch and they are strolling hand-in-hand down the streets of Honolulu.

Charles sees a sign that peeks his interest.

“Hey Cassie---do you feel like being adventurous?” he asks with a gleam in his eye.

Cassie laughed a little, amused at his boyish demeanor.

“Sure, Charles! What have you got in mind?” she asked back.

Charles stopped walking and pointed at the sign which read “HELICOPTER RIDES $99”

Cassie read it and gulped, then looked sheepishly at Charles.

“You wanna go up in a helicopter?” she asked nervously.

Charles grinned. “It’ll be a blast, Cassie! We need something to keep our minds off of our problems!” he reasoned.

“Well THAT’S for sure, but…….isn’t that price kind of steep, Charles?” she asked, trying to discourage him.

“Money is no object---you know that, Beautiful,” he replied.

“Oh yeah……how could I forget? You’re the son of a millionaire…..” she muttered.

Charles yanked at her hand impatiently, waiting for her to agree. “Well???” he asked, hopefully.

Cassie didn’t have the heart to say no.

So………minutes later, they were standing on line preparing to take a Hawaiian helicopter tour.
Candygwen

Cassie why are you so afraid?  You flew in an airplane before." said Charles.

"Charles that's just it.  We flew in an airplane.  This is not an airplane this is a helicopter." said Charles.

"I know that!  This is make it so adventous." said Charles.

"That's what I'm afraid of!" said Cassie.

"There's nothing to be afraid of beautiful.  As long as you got me you shouldn't be afraid." said Charles holding Cassie's hand.

A reluntant Cassie finally gave in went the two went in the helicopter.  Soon the helicopter tok off and it flew around Hawaii.  Cassie was afraid but soon she started to calm down and enjoyed the tour but Charles was getting motion sickness.

"Chalres you're right this is fun." said Cassie.

"Yeah fun!" said Charles being nausus (sp).

batman642

Two hours later the tour was over. Cassie was elated, having seen all of the interesting sites in Oahu from the vivid turquoise coral reefs and white sand of Waikiki to the extinct volcano of Diamond Head, the mythical home of "Pele," the fire Goddess.

She listened intently to the detailed narration and music, as the pilot showed them the sites such as Nuuanu Pali, cruised them past the lush tropical rain forests made famous in movies and television shows such as Jurassic Park, Hawaii Five "O," Magnum P.I., Pearl Harbor and Gilligan’s Island, viewed Pearl Harbor, Battleship Row, Punchbowl National and the Arizona Memorial.

The tour was just as much fun as the Luau and was one of the highlights of their trip.

Charles, on the other hand, looked green as they came out of the helicopter.

“Do you think you can make it back to the room, Charles?” Cassie asked, concerned.

“I’ll be fine,” he told her, trying to be macho.

When they got back to their suite, Charles made a mad dash to the bathroom.
Candygwen

Charles was blowing major chunks in the bathroom.

"Charles are you alright?" asked Cassie.

"I'm fine beautiful!" lied Charles.

"I'm gonna go back on the helicopter again." said Cassie.

"baby we just spent 99 dollars on the flight.  Don't over do it." said Charles.

"But you said before money is no object.  I'm sure Mr. B won't mind" said Cassie.

"You have to do without me." said Charles.

"Are you sure you're alright?  You don't sound too good." said Cassie.

"I'm fine I just need to rest for awhile." said Charles.

"Don't worry Charles I won't over do it.  After the second helicopter ride I'll come straight back and we will have ourevening adventure." said Cassie.

"Oh please let me feel better this evening." said Charles praying.

Meanwhile back in Sand Diego Judge Bradshaw decided to take a oneway flight down to Hawaii to straighten out this mess.

batman642

“I hope you don’t think you’re going to Hawaii alone,” Beverly told him as she watched him pack his bag.

“Beverly, this is strictly business!” Coleman replied rushed and irritated.

“Regardless whether it’s strictly business or not---I’m going! There’s no way in the world my grandbaby is gonna enjoy a Hawaiian vacation when I’m three times her age and have never had one!” she said as she pulled out her travel bag and quickly stuffed it with clothing and toiletries.

“You can be so immature sometimes, Beverly,” he complained.

“And you can be so CHEAP sometimes, Coleman! Admit it---you just don’t want to pay the extra plane fare!”

Coleman stopped packing and looked at his wife, doing a double take.

“You heard me, man! You are CHEAP!” she repeated emphatically.

Coleman paused for a moment, thinking, and then started to chuckle--first a little, then a lot.

His laughter became contagious and Beverly soon joined in, forgetting that she was angry.

Finally he regained his composure and was able to speak.

“Beverly, how have you been able to put up with me all of these years?” he asked, embarrassed.

Beverly pointed to the empty bottle on her nightstand and replied, “Lots of Vodka.”

That evening the two of them boarded a plane for Hawaii.
Candygwen

Meanwhile back in Hawaii Cassie was waiting in line another Hawaiian helicopter tour.  Out of nowhere Wes coame from behind.

"And how are you going to afford this tour flight?" asked Wes.

"Mr. B how long have you been standing there?" asked Cassie.

"Long enough!  I saw you and Charles flying in the helicopter.  Where is my son anyway?" asked Wes.

"He's back in the hotel!  I don't think he's feeling well." said Cassie.

"I think the tour is too much for my son." said Wes.

"I guess!  He claims he's alright but knowing Charles he just want to be macho." laughed Cassie.

"Hey we're men Cassie!  We refuse to show our weak side." said Wes.

"I notice that about you guys." said Cassie.

"Let just keep that between us.  I still got my pride." laughed Wes.

"So are you going on the tour?" asked Cassie.

"I'm sure am.  And since you areg oing on your second tour let that be on me." said Wes.

"That's very thoughtful but you don't have to do that." said Cassie.

"I want to do that.  Anything for future daughter in law." said Wes.

Cassie was touched soon the two aboarded the helicopter.  Meanwhile back in Lincoln Heights at the hospital Lizzie and the others went in to check on Andrew.

batman642

Andrew opened his eyes slowly, his vision blurry at first. Finally, he was able to make out the fuzzy faces that were hovering all around him. The main face he was interested in--Lizzie’s--had a look of worry and fear.

“Lizzie? Is that you?” he asked, squinting because of the hospital lights overhead.

Lizzie grabbed his hand. ‘I’m right here, Andrew,” she assured him.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

“Me???”

His question caught Lizzie totally off guard.

“Andrew, I’m fine!” she assured him again.

“Oh good,” he said relieved. “I saw what that clown was doing to you, Lizzie. I just had to stop him,” he said quietly.

Lizzie managed to give him a small smile of appreciation. “My hero….”

“Where am I? What’s everybody doing here?” he wanted to know.

“You’re in the hospital, Andrew,” Jenn told him.

“Oh no…..” he moaned, looking around and getting a better view of things.

“Your mom is on her way,” Lizzie added.

“OH NO……………………..” he moaned even louder.
Candygwen

"My mom is going to kill me!!!" said Andrew.

"Andrew it wasn't your fault." said Lizzie.

"I know but I'm not sure she can afford to pay for all this." said Andrew.

"My parents and I will help." said Lizzie.

"No I don't want to burden your parents.  They do so much." said Andrew.

"I am so sorry this happened to you.  But I promise you I didn't kiss Devin.  It was the other way around." said Lizzie.

"Lizzie it's okay!  I've already told you I saw what he did.  So there's no need to apologize." said Andrew.

"I just don't know what has gotten into him lately.  He's with Kendra so why does he have a problem with me being with you?" confused Lizzie.

"I don't know Devin that well but to me he has a bad case of moving on and letting go.   He's jealous!  He doesn't you to be with no one else except him." said Andrew.

"But we are not boyfriend and girlfriend anymore." said Lizzie.

"My point exactly!  Bad case of letting go." said Andrew.

"You know you are so intelligent.  You kinda' remind me of Robin." said Lizzie.

"I don't about all that but thanks.  Robin is cool person but has he ever done this before?" asked Andrew as he gave Lizzie sweet and passionate kiss.

"(giggle) No but I'm glad you did it." said Lizzie.

Moment later the two shared a kiss together.  Menawhile at Bill's house Giselle was taking photos of herself in skimpy outfits and emailing to Charles.

"If Charles won't execpt these photos through his cellphone maybe he'll get it through email.

batman642

When Cassie arrived back to the hotel suite from her second helicopter tour, she found that Charles was in the shower.

“I’m back Charles!” she announced, poking her head through the bathroom door.

“Hey Beautiful! How was it the second time around?” he asked.

“Even better! I’ll tell you all about it when you come out!”

“Cool! I’ll be out in a minute!”

Cassie closed the bathroom door and stretched out on the couch, relaxing and thinking about the tour. All of the beautiful scenery inspired her and she felt like painting again.

I need some art supplies….. she thought to herself. But where can I get them in Hawaii?

Then she remembered Charles had brought his laptop and she was glad to see that it was on the nightstand and was running.

She got up and rushed over to it, wanting to do a google search for art supply stores in Hawaii.

As she prepared to do her search, she noticed that there were several unopened emails in Charles’ mailbox.

Why don’t guys ever check their messages? she wondered, shaking her head as she clicked on the first email.?

Cassie’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she saw the photo of Giselle.

(Thanks for the pic candygwen)

Moment later Charles came out the shower.

"Hey beautiful have you seen my soap on the rope?" asked Charles.

But Cassie just sat there silently.

"Cassie?!?" said Charles as he tried to walk up to her.

Charles tried to kiss Cassie but she move away from him.

"Cassie what's wrong?" confused Charles.

Then Charles tried to put his arms around Cassie.  But Cassie jumped back quickly.

"DON'T TOUCH ME YOU CREEP!!!" snapped Cassie.

"Cassie what is with you?" shocked Charles.

"You really think I'm stupid do you?" asked Cassie.

"Cassie I don't know what you are talking about." said Charles.

"Charles I don't believe you!  I have gave up going to Pratt for you Charles. We are engaged and this is how you treat me!" cried Cassie.

Then suddenly Cassie ran out the hotel suite crying. Charles tried to catch her but the elevator closed before got there.

"What the hell is going on here?" confused Charles as he went back to the room.

Then suddenly Charles saw his laptop and pictures of Giselles on the screen.  Charles face was turning red bigtime.

batman642

(ur welcome)
Charles shook his head slowly, upset with Giselle and disappointed with Cassie.

“I can’t believe this…….” he groaned as he opened the other emails from Giselle.

Then he got an idea.

He sent a reply to Giselle’s last email and sent a copy of it to Cassie’s phone.

Then he deleted the pictures from his laptop and started to get dressed, hoping Cassie would read what he had written to Giselle.

Downstairs, Cassie was sitting alone in a corner of the hotel lobby trying to calm herself. Her phone vibrated in her pocket and when she took it out she saw a new email unopened in her inbox. She opened it and read it.

“Giselle.

How many times do I have to blow you off before you get the message that there’s only one love in my life and her name is Cassie Sutton? I’m not interested in you, Giselle! I don’t care what you’re wearing (or not wearing). You don’t hold a candle to my Cassie.

So stop wasting your time and mine with these lame attempts at getting my attention. When you do stuff like this it just makes you seem so desperate and pathetic, and if anything, it’s a big turn off!!!

Charles Antoni”

Cassie sighed and wiped her eyes as she closed her phone and stuck it back in her pocket. Then she headed back upstairs to make up with Charles.
Candygwen

Meanwhile Charles was sitting on the couch in the livingroom hoping that Cassie will apologize to him.  Suddenly the door opened and it was Cassie.

"Cassie you're back." said Charles.

"Yeah I got your message you sent me....Charles I'm sorry I overreacted when I thought you were creepin' with Giselle." said Cassie.

"It doesn't matter.  At least you know how I feel now when you are hanging out with Robin all that the time." said Charles.

"But me and Robin are just friends Charles.  I have no idea you have felt this badly." said Charles.


"Trust me Cassie it hurts everytime you are with him.  I know I shouldn't be jealous but I always feels that you always love more than me." said Charles.

"Charles if that was the case we wouldn't be engaged right now.  Robin and I would have hooked up a longtime ago.  Robin is maybe my special friend but even he doesn't hold a candle under you.  You are the one I want to spent the rest of my life with Charles." said Cassie.

"And Cassie I love you more than life itself.  Giselle is pretty but I am in love with you not her.  I don't if it Sage, Giselle, or my old girlfriend you are the one I want.  I am marrying you not them." said Charles.

"Then we must promise each other that we have start trusting eachother more." said Cassie.

"It's a deal!  Cassie I promise you I will never hurt you and we do belong together.  And I promise nothing will get in our way for now on." said Charles.

"Charles Antoni I love you so much!" said Cassie.

"Cassie Sutton I love you too." said Charl
