Pick up from 3

Meanwhile, Marla is relaxing on the couch watching TV when she hears a car pull up into her driveway.  She gets up and looks out of the window and sees her son's car.

"What's Charles doing here?" she said outloud, disappointed that her R&R was over.

Dana was inside cooking and thought Marla was talking to the TV so she just continued fixing dinner.

Reluctantly, Marla slipped her feet into her flip flops and went to the front door to meet Charles.  She flung open the door as he made his way up the steps.

"Hey sweetie!" she said, trying to sound cheerful.  "This is a surprise!"

"Hey Mom," he greeted her when he finally reached the top step.  "Can I come in?"

"Charles don't be stupid!  I kicked you out because I don't want you living here---not because I don't want you to visit.  Of course you can come in!" she said as she pulled him inside and shut the door.

"I bet you're suprised to see me so soon, huh?" he asked.

"You can say that again!  I thought you and Cassie would be packing for Hawaii," she remarked as she sat down.

"I will be soon.  But........" he stalled as he tried to think of how to bring up Giselle.

"Is there a problem?" Marla asked.

"Not with the trip, no.  But......." he continued to stall.

"Charles I hate when you do this," Marla complained.  "Would you please just say whatever it is you have to say?"

'I think I may have made a bad decision today," he began.

"About what?"

"Giselle called me and invited me to lunch and so I went," he told her.

"That wasn't very smart," she said.  "What were you thinking, Charles?"

"I wanted to first off be a friend.  Giselle is a recovering alcoholic, Mom and she's fragile.  I understand where she's coming from, you know.  So, I didn't wanna hurt her feelings and turn her invitation down," he explained.

Marla made a face.  "You can be such a pushover sometimes, Charles," she sighed.  "But I guess you were being kind."

"I also wanted to let her know that I'm officially engaged to Cassie and can ONLY be her friend.  I know she's got a crush on me, Mom."

"Oh---ya THINK Charles????" she replied sarcastically, rolling her eyes.  "So how did she take the news?"

"She seemed to take it okay.  That's not the problem," he said.

"Well then WHAT is the problem, Charles?  Jesus, it's like pulling teeth trying to get a straight story out of you!" she said exasperated.

"Okay, okay.  The problem is that she said she has no one to spend Thanksgiving with and so I sort of invited her for dinner tomorrow at the Suttons," he admitted.

Marla's mouth dropped open as she sat next to her son on the couch, staring at him in shock.

"Say something, Mom.   Please?" he said, worried.

"Mom are you alright?" worried Charles as he tried to shake her.

Soon Dana came out of the kitchen to see what was going on.

"Charles I thought I heard your voice.  What are you doing here?  And what's wrong with your mother she looks like she seen a ghost?" confused Dana.

"I asked her a favor and she froze." said Charles.

"OMG Charles what did you do now?" annoyed Dana.

"Nothing I wanted to asked her for advice and she froze." said Charles.

"Let me guess you did something stupid?" wondered Dana.

"Kinda' I invited Giselle for Thanksgiving tomorrow." said Charles.

"Oh Charles you didn't/" shocked Dana.

"Her Uncle was out of town and she has no one to spend Thanksgivng with. What was I suppose to do?" asked Charles.

"Gezz Charles when are you going to learn?  Excuse me!" said Dana.

Dana went and got a bucket of water.

"Stand back Charles." said Dana.

Charles stood back and Dana threw the water at Marla.  Marla finally snapped out of it.

"Help I'm drowning." yelled Marla waking up.

"Snap out of it girl." said Dana.

"OMG Charles thank God you and Dana are both here.  I had the strangest dream that you foolishly invited Giselle over for Thanksgiving tomorrow.  Thank God t's only a dream.  I know you more sense Charles." said Marla being relieved.

Charles and Dana looked at eachother silencetly and Charles has to tell her the truth.

"It wasn't a dream mom." said Charles.

"WHAT!!!" shocked Marla.

"Okay, y'all, just calm down!" Dana shouted at both of them.

"Charles, how could  you do something so STUPID???!!!" Marla yelled, ignoring Dana.

"At the time I didn't think it was stupid!" he tried to explain.  "I felt sorry for her, is all....."

Marla shook her head.  "ARRRRRRGHHHHH!!!!!  WHERE did I go wrong?  Please, God, tell me where did I go wrong with this boy???"

"Excuse you, Drama queen, would you just calm down?" Dana repeated.  "We can fix this easy enough!" she assured them.

"HOW???????????" they both asked her.

"Just call Giselle and tell her you made a mistake and told her the dinner was at the Suttons, but really it's over here," Dana replied with confidence.

Marla looked at her like she was crazy. 

"THAT'S your idea of FIXING it???  I don't want that little tramp over here!" she objected.

"I think it's a great idea, Mom," Charles said, relieved.

"Yeah of course you would!" Marla snapped back.  "As long as she's out of YOUR hair---what do YOU care?"

"It's not like that, Mom!  But I don't want to upset Cassie, and Sage said if Giselle shows up at the Suttons tomorrow, Cassie might kill me."

"SAGE????  Are you still dealing with her too???" Marla asked.

"She was at the unwedding party, Mom.  She's kind of friendly with Cassie now," Charles explained.

"YOU are not CASSIE.  What were YOU doing talking to SAGE about CASSIE and GISELLE??" Marla demanded.

"Giselle and I were at the Rev and Sage works there," he replied.

"I wouldn't trust Sage as far as I can throw her," Dana remarked.  "She could use this info against you later on, Charles," she warned.

"Charles, you need to start thinking things through alot better than you have been lately," Marla advised sternly.

"Does that mean you'll help me?" he asked sheepishly.

Marla thought awhile.

"I guess we'll have to FIX it the way Dana says, although my Thanksgiving will be ruined!  Call Giselle and tell her the dinner is over here."

Charles let out a sigh of relief.  "Thanks Mom!  I KNEW I could count on you!" he said as he pulled out his cell phone.

"In fact, let me talk to Giselle.  Then she'll really believe it," Marla added.

Charles dialed the number and handed the phone to Marla.

"Chuckie?" Giselle answered.  "You okay?"

"This is Mrs. Antoni, Charles' mom."

"Oh!  Hi Mrs. Antoni.  Is Chuckie okay?" Giselle asked.

"Yes, but he made a mistake and invited you to the wrong house for dinner tomorrow.  The dinner is over here at my house, not at the Suttons house," Marla told her.

Giselle laughed.  "Oh that's funny!  I'm glad you guys realized the mistake before I made a fool of myself at the wrong house!"

Marla forced a phony laugh.  "Yeah..."

"Okay, well I'm in the middle of a photo shoot so I can't stay on the phone, Mrs. Antoni.  But I'll be over tomorrow, and thanks so much!  At least I won't be alone for the holiday!" Giselle said quickly.

"Don't mention it," Marla said as she closed the cell phone and handed it back to Charles.

"Thanks again, Mom.  For real!" he said.

"Don't bother to thank me.  It was just MY idea!" Dana interrupted.

Charles got up from the couch and hugged Dana.  "I love you, I love you, I love you!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!" he said as he kissed her several times on the cheek.

Dana struggled to get out from his arms.  "Boy GET OFF me!!!" she yelled. "Are you crazy??"

"Oh he's crazy alright!" Marla agreed.  "And you're gonna owe me BIG time Charles!"

"I know Mom, I know.  And I love you too!" he said as he hugged his mother, lifting her off of the floor in the process.

"Put me down, Charles!" she demanded.

He complied, realizing  he was getting on both women's nerves.

"I guess I'd better get going," he decided as he started slowly toward the front door.

"Good idea," Marla told him.

"Bye, Charles.  And try to stay outta trouble?!" Dana said.

After Charles left, Marla looked at Dana with a blank expression as they stood in the living room.

"What now?" Dana asked, puzzled.

"Did you REALLY throw a bucket of water on me and MY LEATHER COUCH???!" she asked. turning red.

Dana gulped.  "Ooops!  Sorry, girl....."
Candygwen

"You better be lucky that I'm your gurl and I'm rich otherwise I would kill you." said Marla.

Dana laughed.  Meanwhile back at Monica's household Robin pace back and forward trying figured a way to talk to Cassie.
So he tried to call Cassie on her cell again but didn't get an answers.  Robin been leaving her messages and text messages on her cell.

"Cassie this Robin this is the fifteenth messages I have sent.  Please picked up.  Look I am sorry I don't know how many time do I have to explain it.  I didn't realize this effected you.  I really do care about our unborn baby.  And that night really meant something to me as well but we have our fiance's with us and we can't let on what has happened." said Robin as he was sending her the message.

Cassie was reluntant to call.  Soon Nate came in the kitchen.

"So what's been going on with the other white meat?" asked Nate.

"Nate don't start." said Cassie.

"You still have a thing for that dude don't you?" asked Nate.

"Nate mind your business." said Cassie.

"Cassie you ain't foolin' me.  You my sister I know when you are in denial and this Robin dude is taking you for long ride." said Nate.

"First of all you don't anything about Robin so don't be judging him." snapped Cassie.

"Please I know well enough that you were all over him after the tribute concert.  Remember I saw you two dancing when you took Charles back to Mrs. Antoni's place." said Nate.

"It was a friendly dance Nate." said Cassie.

"Friendly my ass.  Since when does friends start french kissing?" asked Nate.

"Look you need to start minding your own business and leave Robin alone." said Cassie.

"Cassie I'm only looking out for you.  I am your brother." said Nate.

"Since you want to be my big brother? Last time I check you were looking after Tay and Lizzie.  And the letter you wrote about Mom, Dad, Lizzie and Tay its funny you didn't write anything for me." said Cassie.

"Cassie we didn't interact that much but you still my sister." said Nate.

"Look I appreciate your concern Nate. But I don't need a babysitter and I know Robin more than you ever know." said Cassie as she stormed off.

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

Soon Cassie called Robin and told him to meet her at the icecream parlor.

"Where you going, boo?" asked lulu as Robin grabbed his keys.

"Out to the store for a minute. I forgot my mom told me to pick up some last minute items. I be back soon I promise," said Robin as he gave a kiss on the forehead.

"I love you," said Lulu as Robin closed the door. She couldn't help to feel suspicious as she went to find Monica.

Meanwhile Charles was driving over to the Suttons when he saw Cassie drive past him.
Robertadamsonlover

"Cassie?!? I wonder where she's going?" confused Charles.

Soon Charles turned around and he slowly started follow Cassie.

Meanwhile Eddie and Tay was heading home from the studio.  Tay was fast asleep.  Eddie was looking at my son.  He was very proud of him.

"My son has really come a long way." said Eddie.

Then Eddie thought about Thanksgiving.

"I just got to cook something for tomorrow.  I know I'll make some of my famous dressing with my special ingredients." said Eddie to himself.

So Eddie went to the grocery store to pick up extra stuff for the dressing.

batman642

Meanwhile, Lulu found Monica in the kitchen fixing Devin a sandwich.

"Would you like a sandwich too, Lulu?" she offered.

"Oh, I'm okay, thanks anyway.  Miss Monica, did you ask Robin to go to the store for you?" Lulu asked.

Being the experienced woman that she was, Monica could tell from the sound of Lulu's voice what was going on in Lulu's head---doubt.

"Why do you ask?" Monica replied dodging the question.

"Robin just went out in a hurry.  He said he forgot that you wanted him to go to the store," Lulu explained.

"Lulu, I have so much on my mind these days......" Monica sighed.  "If that's what Robin said, then that's what happened."

"Oh....." Lulu said, unconvinced.

"You think your boy is creepin around on  you?" Devin asked, butting into the conversation.

Lulu shot him a look and ignored the question.

"That's what it sounds like to me," Devin continued, unaffected by her look.  "But he wouldn't do that," he added.

Monica handed Devin his plate and then put her arm around Lulu.  "Remember what I told you about your temper.  And if you love Robin, then you'll trust him," she advised.

"But something in my gut is telling me different," Lulu replied.

"It's called jealousy," Devin said as he chomped on his sandwich.

"I'm not talking to you Devin," Lulu said annoyed.

"But he's right, Lulu.  Instead of jumping to conclusions every time Robin is out of your sight, why not give him the benefit of the doubt?" Monica suggested.

"Did you ever think maybe he ran out to buy you a last minute gift?" Monica continued.

Lulu liked that idea and a little smile appeared on her face.  "Yeah......a gift......" she repeated dreamily.  "Thanks, Miss Monica!" she said as she suddenly left the kitchen, much happier.

Monica sighed, already tired of the teen drama that had returned to her house.

Meanwhile Robin was at the icecream parlor waiting for Cassie.

"I don't know or how Cassie talked me into coming here." muttered Robin.

Robin is pacing back and forth hoping to make things right with Cassie.

"I really hope got my messages.  I give her a few more minutes and she's not there I have to go. I got a worried mother who think Cassie is a lowlife slut and I have a extremely jealous fiance' who is complete hothead.  I better make a stop and get her something on the way back so she don't sound too suspicious.  I fwlt comfortable talking to Cassie on the video phone." said Robin to himself.

Finally Cassie arrived.

"Robin you're here." said Cassie.

"Yeah may I asked why are at the icecream parlor this time of night?  People may start asking questions." concerned Robin.

"I know but I want to get away from Nate.  He's driving me crazy but I did get your message." said Cassie.

batman642

"Well why didn't you reply. You had my stressing out crazy. Cassie I didn't meant what I said and you know that," said Robin as he grabed her hand.

"I know Robin, but we still need to sort things out," said Cassie as they sat down.

Charles was watching outside from his car, debating what he should do until Sage came by walking home from work and noticed Charles cooped in his car.
Robertadamsonlover

Sage snuck up to the passenger side of Charles' car and knocked on the window, startling Charles.

"Open up!" she said.

Charles unlocked the door and she hopped inside.

"Are we on some kinda stakeout?" she asked playfully.

Charles wasn't amused.

"You were so busy warning me about Giselle and how I'd get Cassie upset.  I think maybe you should've given CASSIE that speech---but not about Giselle---about HIM!" he said angrily pointing towards the ice cream parlor.

Sage turned and looked and saw Cassie and Robin through the ice cream parlor window.

"Well you've got YOUR nerve!  It's okay for you to be with Giselle but Cassie can't be with Robin?" she asked.

"I was with Giselle for LUNCH--in the middle of the day!  But Cassie and Robin --- out for ice cream? When we first started going out Cassie and I had ice cream together!" he replied defensively.

Sage rolled her eyes.  "You're really pathetic, you know that Charles?" she said as she started to get out of the car.

"Where are you going?" he asked, surprised.

"Well you don't think I'm gonna sit here and watch the two of them eating ice cream, do you?  I've gotta get home," she told him.

When Sage got out of the car, she walked over to the ice cream parlor, knocked on the window to get Cassie's attention and waved at her and Robin.  Cassie waved back and smiled, still oblivious to the fact that Charles was outside in his car.
Candygwen

"She gets on my nerves so much," mummbled Charles about Sage.

"Cassie I feel like we're doing something wrong. I don't think people will get the right idea about us being together the day after you nonwedding. I know you love Charles, and I love Lulu, so today I think we should just resolve this whole conflict and move on. I know we have made our mistakes, but I really am trying to be a better person, for my mom, and most of all Lulu," said Robin.

"Look at him...trying to take my girl the day after our wedding. I can't believe Cassie wants me to be friends with him," said Charles as he tighten his fist.
Robertadamsonlover

Suddenly Charles got out of his car, fuming, and stormed towards the ice cream parlor with his fist clenched. 

He flung the door of the parlor open with such force that everyone in the place stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to him as he stood in the entranceway looking like a madman.

"CASSIE!!!!!!!!!" he yelled as he approached the couple.

"CHARLES!!!!" she responded totally caught off guard and afraid.

"Hey man, this is NOT what you think!" Robin started to explain as he backed away from Cassie, noticing Charles' fist.

Cassie stepped in front of Charles before he could get to Robin.

"Hey buddy, we don't want any trouble in here!" one of the workers behind the counter shouted at Charles.

"Charles, please!!  I can explain!!" Cassie said frantic as she tried to keep Charles away from Robin.
Candygwen

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING AT THE ICECREAM PARLOR WITH HIM AT THIS TIME OF NIGHT?" snapped Charles.

"YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN CHARLES!!!" upset Cassie.

"I WON'T GET ANSWERS UNTIL I GET THE WHOLE TRUTH!!!" angered Charles.

"Dude people are watching!!!" said Robin.

"STAY OUT OF THIS ROBIN!!! YOU ALREADY 2 seconds from an asswhippin." angered Charles.

"Look don't be yelling at Robin." said Cassie.

"I figured you stick up for him.  You always do.  You know something Robin this is a new low even for you.  You trying steal my fiance' the day after our nonwedding and you I thought you love me Cassie." whined Charles.

"I DO LOVE YOU CHARALES!!!" said Cassie.

"THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE WITH ROBIN?" asked Charles.

"Look I better tell him now before he get himself arrested again." said Robin.

"No Robin I got this.  This needs to stop right now.  Charles the reason Robin and I are at the icecream parlor is because I want to talk about our ideas for our double wedding." lied Cassie.

"Y'all did?!?" confused Charles.

"We did?!?" confused Robin.

Cassie elbowed Robin hard.

"Oof" said Robin.

"Why didn't you two tell me and Lulu we are apart of it as well?" wondered Charles.

"We wanted it to be a surprised.  We wanted conbined Lulu's ideas and my dieas together." said Cassie.

"We did?" confused Robin.

"Shut up!!" said Cassie quietly.

"Is there's a problem?  There's better not be any fighting around here otherwise I have to put all of you out." said the manager.

"No and sorry for the disturbance sir." said Charles.

The manager walked away.

"Baby I am so sorry about this.  But you know this is my wedding too.  I want to put down some ideas.  You didn;t have to put any surprises down.  You can plan anything you want this is your and Lulu special day.  I gotta stop juming to conclusions like this." said Charles.

"Yeah you should." muttered Robin.

Cassie gave Robin the mean stare.

"Hey let me get you guys some icecream my treat." said Charles.

"Thanks Charles!!! You you are so good to me." said Cassie as she and Charles kissed.

"Where's my barf bg?" muttered Robin.

So Charles went to orered some icecream Robin and Cassie sat back down.

"Why didn't you tell him the truth?" asked Robin.

"Do you want Charles to know we had a child togheter?" angered Cassie.

"Oops sorry!!! I didn't think about that. What now?" asked Robin.

"We just have to pick another time to talk." said Cassie.

batman642

So the three of them cleared out of the Ice Cream Parlor and went back to their own places. Before Robin got home he noticed someone had left him a voice mail so he stopped and listened to it:

"Yo dawg, it's me Devin. You'd better bring something cute and fuzzy home for your girl Lulu. She's buggin," the message warned.

Robin shook his head. “Lulu’s buggin AGAIN???” he wondered to himself. “I thought we were cool!”

But he was grateful that Devin had left the message, so on the way home Robin stopped at a 24 hour Convenience Store and bought Lulu a small stuffed Teddy Bear that said “I Love You” across his chest.

Charles went back to his FEMA apartment and, because of all the drama with him, Cassie and Robin, had a beer before he went to sleep for the night. He was looking forward to having Thanksgiving with the Suttons and was glad Dana and Marla had worked things out for him with Giselle.

Cassie got back home to find Lizzie and Jenn cleaning up the kitchen after hours of Thanksgiving preparation.

“Cassie, where were you?” Lizzie asked as soon as her sister came through the door.

Cassie sucked her teeth. “What are you----my mother or something?” she snapped back.

“GIRLS……….” Jenn said, using her “not now voice.”

Candygwen"But mom Cassie has been gone for 50 minutes." said Lizzie.

"I have to take care of some business." said Cassie.

"If you talking about the Rev. please you are not even working this week. " said Lizzie.

"Look I manage to make macoroni, the carole and the dressing.  I have been working." said Cassie.

"You did 30% of the work.  Mom and I been slavin' all day in the kitchen.  It would be nice if you pitch in around here.  Oh yes I almost forgot Charles is your priority now." said Lizzie.

"Don't even go there Lizzie." snapped Cassie.

"Well act like he's more important than us and the twins." angered Lizzie.

"Alright that's enough you two!!! Look Thanksgiivng is tomorrow and there will be guess coming over here so your girls tried to act like sisters instead of a old married couple?" said Jenn.

"I'm going to my room." said Lizzie.

"I'm going to check on twins." said Cassie.

Cassie and Lizzie stormed out the kitchen on their sparate ways.

"(Sigh) My family." sigh Jenn.

"Hey something wrong?" asked Eddie as he came in.

batman642

"Oh good!  You're home," she greeted him giving him a quick kiss as she finished up in the kitchen.

"Yeah, we had a long day at the stuido---Tay and me---and Trey."

"Where's Tay?" Jenn inquired.

"He's tired and went up to bed," Eddie explained.  "He worked hard and made me real proud, Jenn."

"I'm glad to hear it," she replied a little distracted.

"Now what's wrong with you---you were muttering about your family when I walked in here," he reminded her.

"Just the girls at each other's throats as usual," Jenn told him.

"They should know better than that on the day before Thanksgiving," Eddie remarked, annoyed.

"Funny you should mention that---Cassie admitted she FORGOT  tomorrow was Thanksgiving," Jenn said.

"That sounds just like Cassie.  If her head wasn't attached, she'd forget that too!" Eddie joked.

"Yeah well Lizzie didn't think it was funny.  You know how serious she can be with that old soul of hers.....She was very upset with Cassie," Jenn continued.

"I'm sure you took care of it though," Eddie said with confidence.

"Of course, I ALWAYS do!" she replied a little sarcastically.

"So I guess you're implying that I should talk to them?" Eddie asked.

"I didn't say that Eddie," Jenn replied.

"By the tone of your voice I could tell that's what you're thinking, Jenn," he said.

"Eddie, I'm just stressed with all of this cooking I've been doing," she explained.

Eddie put his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes.

"Well we can't have Mrs. Sutton stressed the day before Thanksgiving....." he said softly.

Jenn dropped her eyes bashfully and he lifted her chin back up until their eyes met again.

"I'lll be fine, Eddie," she assured him with a little smile.

"Well to be sure, I have just the cure for you," he said in a soft, sexy voice.

"Is that so, Doctor? And just what did you have in mind?" she asked, playing along. 

Then he pulled her closer and kissed her, first tenderly and then more passionately.

"I think we should continue this upstairs," Jenn suggested as she took his hand and started to lead him out of the kitchen.

"How about ON the stairs?" he whispered mischeviously in her ear as he followed behind her quickly turning out the light.

"Are you crazy?  Not with all the people in this house, Eddie---no way...." she objected as she started up the stairs.

"Oh come on, Jenn----it'll be fun---like when we were young!" he said persuasively as he switched off the other lights.

"And if we get caught?  It'll be EMBARRASSING!" she reminded him.

"We won't get caught---we're not Charles and Cassie---we're older and wiser," he told her as he gently pulled her back down the stairs.

Jenn sighed, exasperrated.

"Jenn, everyone's asleep.  It's the perfect time," he continued.  "Please......" he moaned in her ear.

"But on the STAIRS, Eddie???  I'll be uncomfortable.... " she complained.

Eddie decided they'd done enough talking about it and started to make his move.  Before Jenn realized it, he had managed to stretch her out on the stairs with one of his big strong arms underneath her as he kissed her and ran his other hand up and down her body, trying to remove her housecoat in the process.

"Hmm....." he moaned, "what have we got under here?" he asked playfully.

"Eddie.....I"m telling you, this is a BAD idea...." she warned, nervous, but unable to break free from his embrace.

"Stop being a worry wart," he said in her ear as he nibbled on her neck.  "Anyway, we'll be done in five minutes."

Jenn couldn't help but giggle.   "That's so true...." she agreed as she started to relax in his arms, responding to his lovemaking.

Five minutes later.....

Eddie had a satisfied look on his face as he cradled his wife in his arms in the dark as they lay on the staircase together.

"You were right, Eddie.  That was fun," Jenn admitted softly.

"So was that the cure, Mrs. Sutton?" he asked.  "No more stress?"

Jenn smiled.  "Doctor Sutton, you cured my stress and I thank you."

Then Eddie, butt naked, stood up, scooped her up in his arms, and stealthily carried her up the rest of the stairs to their room where he gently laid her down in their bed.

He kissed her softly goodnight.  "You see, we didn't get caught either...." he added as he got into bed alongside her.

Soon both of them were in bed fast asleep.  Neither one of them remembered Jenn's housecoat and all of Eddie's clothing  thrown about on the staircase below.

Meanwhile back at Monica's house Robin return with the stuff animal.

"Robin where have you been?" asked Monica.

"I've been shopping for a gift for Lulu." said Robin.

Robin didn't want to tell his mother the he been hanging with Cassie at the icecream parlor.

"At this hour?" asked Monica.

"Hey I figured all the stores will be closed tomorrow and I want to surprised Lulu." said Robin.

"Alright I understand but in the future if you are going to get Lulu a gift can you do it at a more appropriate time?" she asked.

"Sure the mom." said Robin as he kissed her goodnight.

"Oh Lulu is in the kitchen.  Robin please be good to her because I think Lulu is very insecured and I think she needs to know that you really love her." said Monica.

"Okay no problem!" said Robin.

Meanwhile Lulu was eating homade cookies.

"Hey Gorgeous!" said Robin.

"Hey." said Lulu depressed.

"I got something for you to turn that frown upside down." said Robin.

"What's that" she asked.

Robin showed Lulu the teddybear.

batman642

As soon as Lulu saw the gift, she remembered what Monica had suggested to her earlier--that she should give Robin the benefit of the doubt and trust him more.

“Oh, Boo…….he’s ADORABLE,” she said as she reached out for the bear.

Robin stood over her as she sat at the table and held it up just out of her reach. “I’m still waiting for that pretty smile of yours,” he teased.

Lulu giggled. “Boo!!! Gimme my bear….” she whined.

Robin laughed as he handed it to her. “That’s better!” he told her.

“Thank you SO much, Boo,” she said as she put her cheek next to the bear’s cheek, rubbing the softness of his fur against her face.

“I wish I could’ve gotten you an even BETTER gift,” he admitted.

“No, this is perfect. My very own Boo Bear!” she said kissing the bear’s face.

“Hey!” Robin pouted playfully. “What about ME???”

Without saying another word, Lulu put “Boo Bear” down on the kitchen table, stood up and, taking Robin’s face in her hands, kissed him. He put his arms around her waist and pulled her closer, kissing her back. She wrapped her arms behind his neck as they continued kissing, more intensely.

Soon they were hungry for each other.

His hands ran up and down her body as chills went up and down her spine. Robin was slowly pushing Lulu back as he continued caressing, nibbling and kissing her all over. They continued to inch back until finally, she could go no further---her back was up against the kitchen counter. The two of them were getting very excited as their hearts pounded and their breathing intensified. Before losing all control, Lulu tried to loosen Robin’s arms from around her but to no avail--the more she tried the stronger he embraced her. She tried to speak but was so overcome with passion that she couldn’t form her words, only panting and gasping for air as his mouth engulfed hers.

Robin was on fire, as he ran his hands through Lulu’s hair, kissing her, smelling her, feeling the softness of her skin against his own. So caught up in the heat of the moment, he was starting to forget they were in his mother’s kitchen, imagining instead that they were in his room at Sea School.

“God……I want you SO BAD right now….” he moaned in her ear, his eyes closed.

“Boo…..” was all that she could weakly reply, trying to calm herself down in the process.

“I want you….” he insisted again in her ear completely oblivious to their surroundings.

Lulu was starting to panic, as she felt him trying to undress her. Unable to pry herself out of Robin’s arms and unwilling to make love in Monica’s kitchen, she mustered up all of the strength she had left and took control of the situation.

“NO BOO!!!” she shouted, abruptly spoiling the mood. “NOT IN HERE!!”

Startled, Robin began to regain his senses, realizing they were in the kitchen as Lulu wriggled out from between him and the kitchen counter, quickly fixing her clothing as

Monica entered the room.

“Everything okay in here?” Monica asked.

Flushed and shaken, Robin leaned against the kitchen counter trying to regain his composure and unable to answer her.

“Uh………yes, Miss Monica,” Lulu lied, self consciously tucking in her shirt.

“Did you like the Teddy Bear Robin got you?” she asked, smiling.

“Uh……yes, Miss Monica,” Lulu replied. “You were right about him!” she added nervously.

Monica winked and nodded at Lulu. “Mother’s always know, dear,” she answered.

“I’m going to bed now, and don’t you two stay up too late either,” she advised as she turned and left the kitchen.

“Good night, Mom,” Robin managed to say.

When the coast was clear, Lulu and Robin looked at each other, embarrassed, and let out a sigh of relief, realizing how close they’d come to having sex in Monica’ s kitchen. Robin grabbed the Teddybear off of the table.

“Here,” he said as he handed it to Lulu, not knowing what to say or do next.

“We’d better get outta here,” she suggested, still worried.

"This isn't over," he said as he grabbed her hand and quickly led her out of the kitchen.

"Get your jacket!!!" said Robin.

"Where are we going?" asked Lulu.

"To th Rev." said Robin.

"Robin the Rev. is closed for the night." said Lulu.

"Lulu I'm the owner remember?  Plus I got my office in there." said Robin.

"Oh yes I almost forgot." said Lulu as she remember the last time they made love in Robin's office.

So they both snuck out of the house and drove all the way to the Rev.  Robin got the key to get in.

"Wait a minute Boo! Sage works here too.  Suppose she is still here and got the key to the office?" concerned Lulu.

"Relax just because Sage still works here doesn't mean she has the key to the office.  I added a special kind of lock to make sure Sage won't even pick the locked opened. I made sure of that.' said Robin.

"Soon the two went in and opened up the office.  Everything was quiet.  Lulu pull out the day bed.  Lulu sat down and took off her jacket and shoes.  The next thing Robin pick up Lulu and toss her in the air. 

"Robin WHAT THE HELL!??" Lulu snapped.

"Sorry I just felt like doing that." laughed Robin.

"That's not funny!. NOW PUT ME DOWN." said Lulu.

"Anything you say." said Robin as he threw Lulu in the bed.

Then Robin jumped in and tore off Lulu's dress, bra and panties.

"ROBIN!!!" Lulu screamed.

"Relax no one is watching this time." said Robin as ripped shirt opened.

"Robin I have nothing to wear." said Lulu.

"I'll keep you warm tonight." said Robin.

Then Robin grabbed Lulu and he started kissing all over.  Lulu couldn't no longer resist.  She turned off the lights  The two was making passionate love.  The sex rougher and rougher and Lulu was enjoying it.  It the passionate love making got more heated and it went on for a couple hours until the two let out a big yelled and the two fell right asleep.

Meanwhile back a Charles was feeling lonely so he decided to call Cassie.

batman642

“Hey Beautiful, I just wanted to make sure you got home alright,” he said softly when she answered.

“Charles……..you woke me up…..” she said groggily. “I’ve been home for hours already.”

“Sorry, Cassie. How are my twins doing?” he asked, trying to make conversation.

Cassie sighed. “Charles, the twins are ASLEEP and they’re fine. Why aren’t you sleeping?” she asked.

“I can’t sleep,” he complained.

“Why not?” she asked.

“I’m lonely, Cassie,” he said sadly.

“Oh Charles…..” Cassie sighed, feeling bad for him. “It’s too bad your mom kicked you out.”

“It’s not MY MOM that I’m missing,” he responded. “I miss YOU, Cassie. I miss US.”

"Charles you're going to see me tomorrow at Thanksgiving." said Cassie.

"I know but I want some alone time together.  We haven't been alone since our road trip to see my dad." whined Charles.

"Charles we will going to Hawaii soon.  We will jave all the alone time we need.  Just hang in there." said Cassie.

"I'm trying but I miss you beautiful. I want to come over and play with you." said Charles.

"I don't think so my parents are home and I don't you to risk losing my dad's good side." laughed Charles.

"I'll take my chances." said Charles.

"Get some sleep tomorrow will be a whole new day.  I promise." said Cassie.

"I'll try but I miss you." whined Charles.

"I know I miss you too." love you." said Cassie.

"I mlove you too." said Charles hanging up.

Suddenly Charles heard a laughed at the door.  Charles opened the door and found out it was Sage easedropping.

"How long have you been listening?" annoyed Charles.

"Long enough to notice how patheic you are.  Seriously you need a hobby." laughed Sage.

"Sage it's late what do you want.?" asked Charles.

"I figured you'll be up whinning about Cassie so I made you some brownies and warm milk.  It will help you to go to sleep." said Sage.

"Thanks!" said Charles.

"Anytime.  Now if you excuse me my boy toy is waiting for me." said Sage.

"Sage are you using protection?" asked Charles.

"Charles I maybe a bitch Charles but believe or not I do have a heart.  I have him using protection everytime." said Sage.

 Charles smiled. “Good girl,” he remarked as he started to close the door.

Sage put her foot in the door before it closed all the way.

“By the way,” she continued, “how did things work out at the ice cream parlor?”

Charles chuckled a little.

“I was hoping you wouldn’t bring that up….” he replied, a little embarrassed.

“So I take that to mean it was TOTALLY innocent---just like I thought?” she asked smugly.

“Yes, Sage. You were right---nothing was going on between Robin and Cassie,” he admitted reluctantly.

“Well I hope you didn’t make a fool of yourself…..”

Annoyed, Charles made a face. “Good night and thanks for the brownies,” he said as he pushed the door shut and locked it.

Before long, he had devoured all of the brownies, guzzled down the milk and fell asleep.

Meanwhile back at the Suttons, Cassie was unable to fall back asleep, thanks to Charles’ late night phone call. She decided what she needed was a warm glass of milk. She quietly got out of bed and walked cautiously through the dark hallway and carefully down the stairs, not wanting to disturb anyone by turning on the lights. About halfway down the staircase, her foot got caught in something and she found herself airborn, falling down the remainder of the flight. She landed at the bottom with a loud THUD.

“ARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!” she screamed as she got up, rubbing her backside.

Before she could even turn the lights on, Eddie appeared at the top of the stairs with his baseball bat.

“Who’s there???!!” he demanded.

“DAD!!! It’s me---it’s okay!!!” Cassie yelled as she frantically turned on the light so he could see her.

Relieved, Eddie let out a sigh. “Oh….Cassie! What are you doing up at this hour? IS CHARLES DOWN THERE WITH YOU???”

“DAD!!! NO!!!” Cassie shouted insulted.

Then Jenn appeared behind Eddie at the top of the stairs.

“What’s going on you two?” she asked as she looked down at Cassie.

“Mom, I just came downstairs to get some milk---I couldn’t get back to sleep! I tripped over something and fell down the stairs!” Cassie explained, still rubbing her bottom.

“Well are you okay?” Jenn asked concerned.

“Nothing’s broken if that’s what you mean,” Cassie replied sullenly. Then she looked at the clothing scattered all over the stairs.

“Mom, who’s clothes are these?” Cassie asked as she started picking them up one piece at a time.

That’s when Jenn and Eddie realized they had carelessly left their clothing behind after their staircase sexcapade. They looked at each other, horrified, and then looked at Cassie.

“Mom, this is your house coat,” she said as she inspected it closer.

“And Dad---these are your-----FRUIT OF THE LOOMS!! EEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!” she screamed as she quickly threw his briefs back on the floor, disgusted.

Jenn pushed past Eddie and raced down the stairs. “That’s dirty laundry!!” she lied as she picked the clothing up frantically.

“Dirty laundry?” Cassie asked, puzzled and still traumatized from touching Eddie’s underwear.

“Yes, I must’ve dropped them without realizing it,” Jenn continued to lie.

“Oh,” Cassie said, too tired to pursue it.

“Go get your milk and get back to bed,” Eddie told her, still standing at the top of the stairs.

Jenn gathered up the clothes and brought them up as Cassie went to the kitchen for her milk.

Eddie and Jenn went back into the bedroom together and closed the door.

“I can’t believe we did that, Eddie! We left our clothes all over the floor! Thank GOD Cassie didn’t put two and two together!” she said as she tossed the clothes into a chair.

“Calm down, Jenn! It’s all good….:” he said, trying to put her at ease.

“Eddie Sutton, that is the FIRST and LAST time we ever knock boots on the staircase! Do you understand me? I KNEW something like this was gonna happen!” Jenn continued to fuss.

“Alright, alright,” he agreed. “Let’s just get back to sleep okay? We’ve got a long day ahead of us,” he reminded her as they got back into bed.

Cassie got her milk and drank it.  She was still grossed out by touching Eddie's underwear.  She went upstairs to take a shower and went to bed dreaming of their big wedding with Charles.  The next day Cassie got up early realizing she hasn't really pitched to help as much like she should so she went downstairs to finish cooking.  Lizzie heard a noise downstair so she went downstairs to see what it was. 

"Cassie what are you doing in the kitchen?" asked Lizzie.

"What does it look like dummy?" asked Cassie

"Cassiewe already finished cooking the Thanksgiving diner." said Lizzie.

"Not all of it.  We still have to make the dressing,  The sweet potatoe pie, peach cobbler, and come up with the plan to keep Dad from makin the gravy." said Cassie.

"That's already been taking care of.  I called Miss Monica and told her she can bring the gravy." said Lizzie.

"Good I don't think I can stomach another Dad's cooking." said Cassie.

"I know my stomach is still upset from the cserole he made a few weeks ago." said Lizzie.

"Since you are in the kitchen now you may as well help out." said Cassie.

"Looks who's talking?  By the way isn't there something you ought to say to me?" asked Lizzie.

"About what?" confused Cassie.

"The arguement we have the other night." said Lizzie. hoping that Cassie will apologize for nearly blowing off making Thanksgivng dinner with her and Jenn and arguing.

"(Sigh) Alright fine...I forgive you Lizzie now get to work." said Cassie.

"Whatever." angered Lizzie.

"Lizzie don't with me it's too early." said Cassie.

"Fine!" said Lizzie.

The two was started to cook.

"Cassie!" said Lizzie.

"Yes." said Cassie.

"May I asked you something?" asked Lizzie.

"Lizzie for the last time you're not riding with me and Charles to school." said Cassie.

"It's not that I was wondering since Tay is seeing Sage do you think I might have a chance with Robin?" wondered Lizzie.

"First of all Sage is not seeing Tay and second no Robin is engaged with Lulu plus he's too old for you." said Cassie.

"But I'm in highschool now.  If Robin were single you think I have a chance with him?" wondered Lizzie.

"Lizzie do me a favor and stick with Andrew." said Cassie.

Soon Tay walked in the kitchen.

"Hey now tha'ts the way I like to see two ladies cooking.  Why don't girls do me favor and fix this upcoming superstar some breakfast." said Tay.

Soon Cassie and Lizzie looked at eachother and went up to Tay and dump a bag of flour all over him and Lizzie hit Tay with a sweet potatoe pie.

"Breakfast is served." said Lizzie.

 At Monica’s house, breakfast was also being prepared. The aroma of bacon made its way up to the bedrooms and soon Devin stumbled out of bed and downstairs to the kitchen.

“Morning Miss Monica,” he mumbled.

“Good morning, sleepyhead. You sure you’re awake?” she asked, amused.

“I’m sure. I’m hungry,” he informed her as he sat at the counter.

She put some bacon on a plate and put it in front of him. “Here, start with this,” she said.

“Thank you.”

“I’m surprised Robin and Lulu aren’t up yet,” she remarked.

“I’m not surprised. They’re probly beat from their trip and all,” he reminded her.

“I guess I’m just anxious to see my son. It’s so nice to have him home again,” she explained apologetically.

“It’s cool, Miss Monica. I know how you feel,” he sympathized as the thought about his family.

I’m making his favorite breakfast,” Monica said excitedly as she flipped over the blueberry pancakes.

Devin could tell that Monica was anxious to see Robin. “Do you want me to go wake him up for you?” he offered.

Monica looked at him, her eyes full of appreciation. “Would you please, Devin?” she asked sweetly.

“No prob,” Devin said as headed back upstairs to Robin’s room munching on a piece of bacon.

“Thanks, dear.”

Minutes later, Devin came back down to the kitchen.

“Is Robin coming?” Monica asked, surprised Devin was alone.

“Uh…….” Devin stalled, not knowing if he should reveal that Robin’s and Lulu’s beds were empty and hadn’t been slept in all night.

Meanwhile Robin and Lulu returned from the Rev. with box of doughnuts.  As they arrived the door the two was still kissing.

"Robin do you really have tear off my clothes everytime we make love?" asked Lulu.

"I can't help it I was at the heat of the moment." said Robin.

"Yeah well I'm running out of clothes." said Lulu.

"I promise I go easy on you next time." said Robin.

"That what you say the last time." said Lulu.

"What you don't trust me?" joked Robin.

"Let me put it to you this way..NO!!" said Lulu.

"You see you smiling because you know you enjoyed it." said Robin.

"It's a good I'm still wearing my long jacket otherwise I would be in serious trouble." said Lulu.

"Just let me handle everything." said Robin.

Robin and Lulu walked in the house into the kitchen.

"Hey Lulu and I went out to get some doughnuts and...WOW is that blueberry pancakes I smell?" asked Robin satisfied.

"It sure is." said Monica.

batman642

 “Lulu, would you like a cup of coffee?” Monica offered.

“Thanks Miss Monica, but first I want to go upstairs and freshen up a bit. Maybe later?” Lulu replied sweetly.

“Sure, I’ll keep it hot for you,” Monica promised.

“Thanks!” Lulu said as she hurried out of the kitchen and up the stairs, not realizing

Devin was following her.

When she got into her bedroom, she quickly took off her jacket, preparing for a nice hot shower.

Devin’s eyes bulged out in shock as he stood at her bedroom door and saw her in the nude. Before he could move away, Lulu spotted him and screamed, trying to hide her body.

“DEVIN!!!!” she yelled furiously as she stood in the middle of the floor with one arm wrapped around her chest and the other across her pelvis.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were naked!!” he said panicking as he continued standing in the doorway staring at her in awe.

“WELL GET AWAY!!!” she ordered him, humiliated.

When he stepped away from the door she hurried over to it and slammed it.

“What’s going on up there?” Monica remarked to Robin, hearing the noise.

“I dunno, but I’m ready for my breakfast,” he said as he handed her a plate.

Just then, Devin came back into the kitchen with a strange look on his face.

“What was all of that noise upstairs, Devin?” Monica asked as she filled Robin’s plate.

“Noise?” Devin repeated, flustered.

Monica looked at him and shook her head, annoyed. “Never mind, Devin. Get a plate---the pancakes are ready,” she told him.

Devin, still shaken up, got a cereal bowl out of the cabinet and hand it to Monica.

“Dude what’s wrong with you?” Robin asked watching Devin.

Monica sucked her teeth, even more annoyed. “Devin, you’re not paying attention! Do you want pancakes in a cereal bowl?” she fussed.

“Oh!! Oh!! S---Sorry, Miss Monica,” Devin apologized as he nervously took the bowl back and got a plate instead.

“You alright?” Robin asked, amused.

‘Yo, I ain’t seen NOTHIN! I ain’t SEEN nothin and I ain’t DO nothin!” Devin replied, his conscience getting the best of him.

Clueless, Robin nodded. “Okay, okay. It’s all good, dude. Chill….” he advised, puzzled with Devin’s behavior.

Monica put the plate of pancakes in front of Devin and she and Robin exchanged glances behind Devin’s back, wondering why he was acting so strangely.

Upstairs, Lulu was in the shower, trying to recover from yet another humiliating experience.

Meanwhile back at Charles apartment Charles was daydreaming about his and Cassie trip to Hawaii.

"Wow I can't wait. three days of  fun and paradise with Cassie.  No drama, no parents, no siblings, and most of all no Robin." said Charles to himself with a big grin.

Soon the video phone rang and it was Cassie.

"Morning beautiful." said Charles.

"Morning my future husband." said Cassie.

"Are you ready for some Thanksgiving dinner?" asked Cassie.

"Most definitely.  Especially if you cook the meal." said Charles.

"I cooked some of it.  But don't worry I'll feed you as much as I can." said Cassie.

"I'm so lucky to a fiancee' like you.  I can't wait to be your husband." said Charles.

"Then you won't mind if you help me pick an outfit to wear this evening?" asked Cassie.

"I don't mind if I do." said Charles.

Soon Cassie started stripping in front of the video phone and Charles was getting turned on.

"Take it off beautiful.  Take it all off." said Charles getting excited.

Cassie was giving Charles a private show.  Cassie was dancing around in her bra and panties until Tay barged in.

batman642

"EEEEEEKKKK!!!!" Cassie screeched as she quickly dived over her bed and onto the floor to hide.

Tay caught a glimpse of his half-naked sister as she sailed over the bed and hit the floor.

"WHAT THE HEY-HOO???" he shouted angrily.

"TAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!  HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU TO KNOCK???!!!!" Cassied yelled from behind her bed.

"Cassie????!!!!" Charles called over the video phone.  "Cassie???"

"Man, you got my sister puttin on a PORN SHOW for you??!!!" Tay yelled at Charles.

"What???  No way!!!" Charles replied angrily.  "Where's Cassie?!" he demanded.

"CHARLES!!! I'M OVER HERE!!!" Cassie shouted.  "TELL HIM TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!"

"Me????!!!" Tay replied, insulted.  "I LIVE HERE!!!   AND I'M NOT THE ONE TURNING YOU INTO A INTERNET HO!!"

"TAY!!!  GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!" Cassie screamed, almost in tears as she continued to hide behind the bed.

Then Jenn came rushing in to see what all of the screaming and yelling was about.

(Sorry about that I got distracted while typing.  I was going to put Nate....but Tay is cool.)

"What is going on around here?" worried Jenn.

"Your son don't know how to knocked." upseted Cassie as she covered herself up.

"Mom your daughter is a freak." said Tay.

"Tay you are so dead right now.  When I get my hands on you..errrrr" angered Cassie.

"Alright that's enough you two.  Cassie get dressed and Tay go downstairs your father and Nate needs you to help bring out the tables." said Jenn.

"Alright it's not like it wasn't much to see anyway." said Tay as he was lstening to his music.

Cassie threw a stuff animal at Tay.

"Mom did you see that?" snapped Tay.

"Alright look this is Thanksgiving can you two please act like you act like you two got some sense?" asked Jenn.

"Yes mom." said Cassie and Tay in unision.

Tay went downstairs and Cassie went to her room.

"Lord please can we get through this Thanksgiving without any problem this year?" asked Jenn praying.

"Is everything alright beautiful?" concerned Charles.

"Yeah I guess." said Cassie.

"Well since the coast is clear I'm still waiting on my dance." said Charles.

"I can't Charles the moment is ruined thanks to my idiot brother Tay." said Cassie.

"Oh Cassie I'll be there to make you feel better." said Charles.

"I hope so Charles." said Cassie.

At Marla’s house…..

Dana was already back in the kitchen bright and early cooking again as Marla descended down her long spiraling staircase, yawning.

“I can’t believe you,” she said to Dana as she entered the kitchen and headed straight for the coffee pot.

“Good morning to you too,” Dana replied as she stood over the stove.

“Happy Thanksgiving,” Marla responded, trying to make up for her bad manners.

“Thank you. Now what is it about me you can’t believe?” Dana wanted to know.

“You’ve been slaving in this kitchen for two days! It’s just you and me this year, Dana! We don’t need all of this food, and even if we did, I could’ve gotten everything catered! You didn’t have to do all of this work!” Marla told her as she poured her coffee.

“Okay pump your brakes, lady,” Dana began. “First, watch how you use that word SLAVE around me. Second, it’s not just you and me. Giselle is our dinner guest this year in case you forgot. Third, before today you ain’t said nothing about catering nothing and I don’t put my hands in other people’s pockets. Fourth, this aint work to me---it’s THERAPY. I LOVE cooking and you do too, Marla!”

“I do?”

“You’re Italian aint you? Everybody knows Italians LOVE to cook and eat!” Dana answered.

Marla hesitated for a moment before responding. “Okay you got me there,” she finally admitted. “It just doesn’t feel like Thanksgiving to me this year is all. I don’t know why, but it doesn’t…”

Dana chuckled. “I know why….” she said coyly.

Marla put her hand on her hip as she held her coffee in the other. “Pray tell….” she said sarcastically.

“You miss Bill,” Dana teased.

“Maybe you’re right,” Marla sighed sadly.

“I tried to warn you, girl. I knew that man was gonna break your heart,” Dana said bluntly.

“He didn’t break my heart! He’s just gone on business!” Marla replied defensively.

“HMPH!!! You keep believing that,” Dana warned her with an attitude.

“I haven’t even finished my first cup of coffee and you’re starting already!” Marla complained.

“Look, let’s just change the subject, okay?” Dana suggested, not wanting to get her friend mad on Thanksgiving.

“Yes, let’s do that!” Marla agreed, annoyed.

“You ever deep fried a turkey before?” Dana asked.

“DEEP FRIED A TURKEY????” Marla asked in disbelief.

“That’s what I said!”

“NO, DANA. I have NEVER deep-fried a turkey!” Marla said, shaking her head.

Dana looked at her with a big smile.

“Well, Marla Antoni, today’s your lucky day! You get to help Dana Taylor deep fry her first turkey!” she announced.

“HA!!! That’ s what YOU think! You’re in this on your own!” Marla told her as she started walking out of the kitchen.

“Marla!!!! I need your help!!!” Dana whined, following her.

“Sorry----no can do!” she said as she continued walking away.

Dana stopped following her and just stood in the middle of the living room, watching her.

“Fine then! DON’T help me! But when I end up in the HOSPITAL in the BURN UNIT with second degree burns all over my body, YOU’LL BE SORRY!!: she threatened.

Marla stopped dead in her tracks and spun around to face Dana.

“ARRRRGGGHHHHH!!! Alright already! I’ll HELP you!!!” she surrendered angrily.  "Jesus Christ!"

Dana laughed, as she jumped up and down, clapping.

“Thanks, girl. You’re a real sport!” she said as she and Marla headed back to the kitchen.

“So where’s the stupid bird anyway?” Marla asked, looking around, still annoyed.

“Oh! It’s outside in the backyard,” Dana said as she headed for the glass sliding doors.

Marla put her hand to her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

“Please don’t tell me you’ve got a live turkey running around in my back yard, Dana. Cuz I’m not chopping off ANYBODY’S head!” Marla told her.

Dana laughed. “Puh-leeeze, Marla! I ain’t that ghetto! Of course it ain’t livin! But we’ve gotta deep fry it outside in the deep fryer. You don’t wanna burn the house down, DO YOU???” Dana explained.

Marla rolled her eyes and continued rubbing her forehead. “Oh this just keeps getting better and better…..” she moaned wearily as she reluctantly followed Dana outside.

(Thanks for the link Candygwen!!! I'm sticking to roasting turkey.  That's a little bit much lol.)

"Will you come on." dmeanded Dana.

Marla came out with a fire extinguisher (sp).

"Are you sure you know what you are doing?" asked Dana.

"Of course I done this couple timess and of course got burned a couple of times and I have to rush Jeron to the hospital." joked Dana.

"Goodbye." said Marla as she tried to rush back to the house.

Dana grabbed Marla.

"I was just joking...God lighten up." said Dana.

"Don't joke like that Dana.  This house caused alot of money." said Marla.

Soon the deepfryer was heated Dana put the frozen turkey into grease.  Suddenly a huge fire exploded. The fire started spread.

"OMG FIRE!!! YOU CRAZY BITCH YOU SET PLACE FIRE!!!" screamed Marla.

"QUICK PUT IT OUT!!!" snapped Dana.

Marla got the water hose to put fire.

"GIRL HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!??!  WE ARE NEAR GREASE FOR CHRIST SAKES." said Dana.

Dana grabbed the fire estinguisher and put the fire out quick but the fire spread to the yard.  Marla started to panic so she used the water hose to put the flames out.  Then she stomped on it and saw a flames haded to the flowers so she she jumped roll all over the grass until the fire is out.

"Very smart Marla." said Dana sarcasticly.

"I didn't the fire to hit my flowers. Grrrr Dana I could kill you.  You almost my place done.  My backyard is ruined." whined Marla.

"At least the Turkey is cooking." laughed Dana.

"You're lucky you my gurl and I'm letting you stay here otherwise...uggh I could ring your neck. Now if you excuse I gonna to take a shower." snapped Marla.

As Marla turned around the fire burned through her pants and her rear end was sticking out.  Dana started to laughed.

"Nice butt out Jeans...Prince." laughed Dana.

"What!?!?" said Marla.

"I suggest you get a new pair of pants." laughed Dana.

batman642(ur welcome. i think that vid is soooo funny! lol)

Marla reached back and felt her bare cheeks, screamed and ran into the house, mortified.

Back at Monica’s, the guys finished eating their pancakes and headed for their rooms to get showered and dressed.

“You sure you’re okay, Devin? You’ve been acting strange all morning,” Robin told him on the way upstairs.

Devin still looked guilty as he thought about seeing Lulu in her birthday suit.

“I’m cool,” he lied. “Just one thing, though….”

“What?”

“Miss Monica told me to wake you guys up for breakfast this morning, but y’all were M.I.A. and the beds were made up from last night. What’s the deal, yo?” he asked.

Robin frowned. “Did you tell Mom?”

“No yo!!! I ALMOST did but then you and sexy----I----I ---mean----LULU ---(gulp) came through the door with donuts. You were out ALL NIGHT getting donuts?”

“Dude----you of ALL people should know the deal. Didn’t you say you found out how to get out without Mom even knowing so you can see Kendra?” Robin reminded him.

“So you and Lulu ………” Devin’s imagination got the best of him and he couldn’t even finish his sentence.

“Don’t worry about what me and Lulu do. You do you. Got it?” Robin advised sternly.

Devin nodded, feeling guilty and turned on at the same time thinking about naked Lulu.

“And don’t be callin my girl sexy. Show some respect,” Robin added as he headed for his bedroom.

“Sorry yo. No offense,” Devin apologized.

“None taken,” Robin replied as he went into his room and closed the door.

Before Devin reached his bedroom, Lulu came out of hers, dressed and ready for her coffee. They passed each other in the hallway, and he couldn’t take his eyes off of her as she walked by.

“Pervert!” she said angrily, still humiliated.

“I said I was sorry!” he responded.

“Just stay away from me!” she told him as she started down the stairs.

When she got to the kitchen, Monica was still there having breakfast by herself.

“Ready for your coffee now?” she asked as she got up and got a cup for Lulu.

“Thanks Miss Monica.”

"How did you sleep last night?" Monica asked cheerfully.
Candygwen

"I slept perfectly.' said Lulu thinking about last night.

"Oh good!" said Monica.

"A little too perfect." muttered Lulu.

"I begged your pardone?" aske
