Mercedes POV
"Sam, what is Stacey screaming about? Is everything alright with TJ? Tell me." Sam started laughing as he hung up the phone. "Why did you hang up the phone?"
"Everything is alright with TJ, I'm assuming Stacey phone is in her hand unlocked coincidentally calling me screaming in the background about Netflix and chill which caused me to scream "what" OMG". I gasped, realizing why Stacey was screaming while Sam looked through the questionnaires. "The last question on this questionnaire is any other public WIFI spots you connected to please list, Brittany listed a phone booth. I'm so blown, did you say something?"
"Yes, I know why Stacey was screaming taco Tuesday, Wednesday Stevie invited Niecy to dinner once they left her they went to his house and I never could locate that Oberweis lemonade. He and Niecy had..." Sam stuck his fingers in his ears singing Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah with remix about an ugly mouse. "Really ugly mouse?"
He shrugged. "I needed it to rhyme rat though he does look like one doesn't fit. Now on to my brother, I don't want to hear about Stevie the gamer finally reaching the boss round, but I'm happy he finally got some. Artie is clear, Santana, Rachel... she was at Barbara Streisand Live read that wrong, she wants to star in Barbara Streisand live this wasn't about your hopes dream and aspects she did answer the questions."
"No, no, no, no I can't imagine Stevie, Netflix and chill, now XB1 and play yes, PS4 and chat I'll give it to you, Wii U and me, I'll let you have it, but Netflix and chill I have a problem, not with Stevie but you." He sat up running his hand through his dirty blonde hair tossing the papers on our chaise. "It's not the what you are thinking here you are sitting in front of with those questionnaires looking over what they wrote did you not once hand me a sheet with a pen."
"Honey this isn't for you I know you wouldn't blatantly put your life in harms way that's why I didn't give you one I thought about it but thought you would be upset at me if I did."
"No, baby, I wouldn't be upset at you I would think my husband cares enough about me that he's going to include me to clear all, even though he knows I wouldn't do any such thing but." I rested my head on his shoulder reading the paper. "See I do plug my phone up to the computer, I have apps that aren't safe Norton says trusted, but I use them, sometimes when out I may occasionally log onto a public WIFI when I'm in the studio I may leave my phone to see."
"I see what you mean I sorta got a little bit upset with you when you asked me if I answered the questions myself here I am thinking, why? What gives you the right to ask me this when I'm doing all of this, losing a full nights sleep to get to the bottom of this, but I understand now how can I be sure if I'm not one hundred percent sure. Here is a pen we can fill ours out together." He went to filling out his paper while I burned a hole in his face. "Yes, you did smack me in my visual I deserved it."
"Wouldn't say you deserved it, but you needed to be smacked. Was it an open hand smack or backhand one? Just playing." Out the corner of my eye, I saw Sam phone lighting up. "Honey your phone is ringing might be Stacey asking what toppings we want on our pizza you now what I like, but this I want also an extra order of wings of boneless wings."
"Got you, yeah Stacey Mercedes want-huh? What!" Sam shouted, throwing it against the wall.
"First off y'all gonna have to stop throwing stuff, first Puck tossed my Baby Talk magazine out the window I still haven't gotten it back yet Conniehey probably peed on it here you go messing up our walls. "Was that Tank? You know he's not worth you tossing your phone."
"No even worse, it was Sarah." My phone started ringing I let it go to voicemail Sam phone started buzzing he answered. "Hello, Stacey the usual Cedes wants an extra order of boneless wings. Sauce? Ranch and blue cheese."
"Blue cheese?" I mouthed checking my messages.
"For me. Everything going well with TJ, he's talking Niecy head off about video games I'm sure she's enjoying it having fun, she's joining us for dinner again tonight. She is awesome. You don't have to apologize for calling me, I knew your phone was in your hand. We'll be seeing you in a little bit Stace get one of those brownie cookies 3. Thank you, love you, mean it. Do you hear Sarah voice?"
"Look thot you weak ass excuse for a woman you lazy ass bitch why is it taking so long for you to hit Tank back with a damn notice? Shit, he told y'all less than 30 days don't keep him waiting. Let the man know what the hell is up if you don't answer Tank automatically get his son and won't see him. Hi Sam, I miss you..."
"I still love you, why don't you leave that corny shriveled up shrimp zero and come over here with a chocolate dipped bald hung hero. I'll rub you in all the right-"
"She got some nerve calling you a thot when she's over there, there, there, there, there she needs to look in the mirror and direct that message at herself. Shane a chocolate dipped bald hung hero, he's chocolate alright, but hung? I guess that big belly of his is affecting his thought process, he know he can't see his dick he needs a mirror and a selfie stick. He doesn't want me to call him back," Sam ripped off his shirt showing his lean muscles and heaving chest. "To let him know what's up he so damn stupid he called and didn't block his number I'll give it to Tank and Sarah they have the smarts to block their number. I need a nap. I'm going to turn off my phone going to get in bed and I'm going to lay on the pillows."
"I had my nap already, but I'll join you because you love laying on my pillows, I think we should do shirts, daddy's pillows, babies love the pillows, even TJ at 5 still loves a nap on the pillows, Sam you like that idea?"
"Xrncxxxxxx..."
Hummed a little song soothing while Sam snored in my ear with phonegate on my mind, in my heart I know it's not any of us. "Jacob the guy from the t-mobile store I wondered." I picked up the house phone calling the store back in LA. "Hello, I'm called to speak to Jacob I don't know his last name he helped was the one who helped me when I got my phone wanted to speak to his boss give him a good word."
Stacey's POV
"Stevie plus Netflix and chill in the same sentence they don't even sound like him," JJ said setting the table. "I mean, look at her, she fine got that bronze goddess vibe you know Jill Scott, but she doesn't even look like the one that would do something like that she is probably pacing the floor holding her bible to her chest when she does something wrong saying, "oh I'm such an innocent little church mouse", you know how they say it. If it'll make you feel better I'll bring it up after dinner TJ, Logan, Gabby, Jazzy, and Ian get me cups and someone grab napkins. You know I've noticed something we all have our own homes, yet we always end up here for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and occasional midnight snack. Maybe one week we could not show up."
Everyone stopped in their tracks looking at each other. "Nah," We said in unison. "So PawPaw I've been meaning to ask you why did you dig up your front lawn? Planning to build something."
"Nope, I'll tell you what happened one night this week I went out on the town with my boys from the from my home back in Ohio they were in town visiting, we got a little drunk came home me and the toilet were one I came to the next morning with no teeth I flushed them, that's why I've been digging up my lawn trying to get them back so I have the ones from when we went to Six Flags they still work fine."
"So when you get your new ones that got flushed back you gonna clean them right, let them soak in alcohol and bleach for germs?" Rachel said sitting beside me. "Because germs are yucky, right Logan?"
"Hell no, germs? I don't believe in any germ I haven't been sick a day in my life when I do get them back I'm gonna kiss them up to God then pop them back in my mouth and eat. Speaking of eating, let's eat! I'm gon' say grace bow y'all heads. In Jesus name, amen!" That was the grace, "in Jesus name, Amen", not going to even complain sweet short, to the point Sam and Mercedes dragged down the stairs half hour after we started eating. "Look who's here! Nice of y'all to join us."
"Sorry y'all, we overslept." There was no smile on Sam face or Mercedes no hanky panky went down. "Gabby that pizza sure looks good How many slices of pizza y'all have?" Their hands went up giving the number they chowed down. "Hope you all saved us some slices."
"Who ordered the bell pepper and onion pizza? Aren't you missing a little meat on there, chicken, steak, beef, some pepperoni."
"No, I'm good no pork on the fork I don't drink soda do you mind if I help myself to the kitchen don't just wanna barge up in there."
"Sure it's fine, I got your chair there for you, pour me some too." Stevie stood up to pull out Niecy chair. "What y'all looking at?"
"You eat meat she doesn't how is this going to work out. Wait, how was your Netflix and chill did she eat meat then." The whole table broke out in laughter, everyone that is but Stevie."
"No, she's a church mouse! She doesn't do that all did was play one game well, I played the game she watched me play gave her a little back history on consoles, drank some lemonade she got me to open up about me being she slept over in the guest room and that's it next morning work. Say nothing here she comes, thank you, baby, I helped myself to a slice of your pizza. I was just telling them about the eventful day at work."
"Oh, you mean when cockroach 1 and 2 strolled themselves in our place of business made me forget I had any religion."
"Cockroach, one and two, hatchets this sounds like something that the kids shouldn't hear Ray, would you take the kids outside. Anyone has seen Azimio?"
"Yeah, he left not too long ago, he dropped his phone on the sidewalk cracked the screen so he's on his way to t-mobile to get a new one come on kiddies let's go run off this pizza make you extra tired for your parents." TJ ran up to Ray hitting his leg. "I'm IT you better run! Stevie!"
"In the garage man yup the big one he's going to get the super soaker, man I wish I was out there."
"Stevie you can go outside after you tell us about cockroach 1 and 2 know it's Tank and Sarah or Tank and Shane one or the other."
"Tank and Sarah I'm there helping a customer they in line the phone rings it's Stacy thankfully I didn't mention the TJ's name or they would have waited, we have some words Niecy calls the security he escorts them out mentions something about you not keeping him waiting to refer to the paternity that's that. He didn't mention nothing about the phone I would either if I was in the presence of bae and her hatchet. Yeah, my baby got a hatchet we are getting matching sets soon. Here is your questionnaire Sam. So did you get to the bottom of it?"
"No, Mercedes and I took the questionnaire as well, we too could be at fault and breaking news, Sarah called my phone."
"She had your old number when you got Mercedes a new phone you too changed your number, does anyone know where this chick work? What about that guy Sam that put the tracking app on Mercedes phone? Thought about him."
"Yeah, it could be Jacob, he is a techie and a techie do have ways of getting the information you should call him. I bet it's him."
"I called the store he no longer works there so we're back at square one, called him when you were sleeping on the pillows."
"Pillows? I don't even wanna know what "pillows" mean in Samcedes code language. Back to Jacob just because he no longer works there doesn't mean he still can't give out the information, Sam you have his number call him now. Give me your phone I'll call him." Sam hands me his phone I called Jacob. "Hi, Jacob this is Sam sister remember yeah, yeah..."
"Why didn't I get a questionnaire? I have a phone too, and I have my granddaughter phone number."
"PawPaw you have a jitterbug no one in their right would try to hack a jitterbug you are straight. Baby what he say."
"He works no longer works for the company he doesn't know of a Tank, Sarah, or Shane sent him photos nothing so its', not him mark him off the list. So we back where we started. Could be one of us," I said, pointing to each person sitting at the table with my bread stick. "Or what my gut says Tank forged your signature looking at some insurance forms took a glimpse of Sam info getting the number. Sounds doable."
"Or you walk into t-mobile to get your phone replaced when you are helped by an employee you so happen by chance to be nosy listening in on a work conversation that doesn't concern you when you overhear two names that perks your ears Sarah and Shane. Sarah and Shane work at t-mobile and get this Shane is the GM Sarah is a manager. They have access to all of the numbers easily can pull up your info it is the secret is out. That's how they got your number."
Later that night...
"Coming to you live from Westfield Mall where we have breaking news we have word that there is a crazy lady held up in t-mobile with a box of matches details at 10."
