Chapter 10

"Dean!" Julie shouted running after him, "Dean, slow down, please!"

"What am I supposed to do?" He stopped. "This isn't the first time this has happened. I mean I came out here, Banks sent me the ticket, and I thought, 'Julie misses me, I miss her, it'll be good to see her,' and I find you here with some guy!"

"I wasn't with him," She sighed, "He's just this guy from the club; he's got a weird fixation on me. We were just talking and he kissed me."

"This isn't the first time this has happened," He shrugged. "Halloween ringing any bells?"

"I know," She nodded, "I know, OK, but, this isn't like that, I don't even like Trent, at all," She shuddered, "Ask Annie, ask anyone who's up in that apartment. I'm so glad you're here," She kissed him. "I've missed you so much, if it weren't for Annie, I would have gone crazy."

"Why can't I help myself when it comes to you?" He sighed and shook his head.

"Because I'm adorable!" She smiled, "Come to the party, everyone's here!"

"I just want to see you," He took her face in his hands and kissed her. "That's why I came here."

"I just want to see you too," She whispered. "Oh God I need you so much Dean!" They kissed again.

Spotted: Cat and Bash on the street. Making up. Seriously, those two are like cockroaches: they can survive anything.


Tammy shivered happily, straddling Fulton as he lay down on a blanket on the roof of Julie's apartment building. She had one hand resting on his chest and the other on her forehead. She moved slowly over Fulton moaning at how good it felt to have him inside her again.

"Oh God Tammy," He closed his eyes. She whimpered. "God that's too hot."

"Fulton," She groaned, "Oh I missed you. Hold me closer." He grabbed onto her hips. "Oh right there." She moaned again as he finished and rolled away.

"So this Sebastian guy," He said, she sighed. "This isn't the endlessly dreamy half French snowboarder you ran away with before you came home?" She looked at him. "It was."

"It doesn't matter," She frowned. "I thought we agreed that my past wasn't important."

"I'm glad you came back," He said softly and kissed her.

"I couldn't stay," She whispered. "I love you, I couldn't spend the whole summer without you." She snuggled her head into his chest. Being with Fulton had been the best thing to ever happen with her and she'd almost thrown it away for a party in France with people she'd decided she didn't like very much.


"Oh my God," Carlyle walked in. "When did your friends learn to throw such an epically amazing party?"

"Ducks know how to party baby," He laughed hugging her from behind. He looked around. "Are Connie and Guy making out?"

"Oh yeah," Carlyle shrugged, "They got back together, I read it on Duck Watch, I meant to tell you. Where are the hostesses?"

"Who cares?" He mumbled kissing her neck. "Where's the bedroom?"

"Is that all you think about?" She looked at him.

"Carlyle," He sighed, "I love you baby, but I'm sixteen and you're gorgeous." She giggled. "We need a bed."

"Hold that thought," She turned around and kissed him, "I have to say hi to some people. I do have a reputation to keep up. Get me a drink?"

"Anything for my queen," He winked. She smiled and he walked over to the bar.

"Oh my God!" One of Carlyle's friends said, staring at her phone.

"What?" Carlyle asked.

"Nothing," She laughed, "Just a Duck Watch text, totally stupid."

"Who's it about?" Carlyle grabbed the phone and her heart pounded.

Looks like our Queen arrived just in time. Nothing legitimizes a challenger more than real royalty accepting them. We all saw The Other Boleyn Girl. Anne couldn't have become queen if Katherine hadn't made her lady in waiting. Just be careful, sometimes all it takes is bedding a king.

Carlyle's eyes flared. Whoever the bitch was, she was going down! She'd worked way too hard to have some little New York nerd swoop in and think that because she'd gotten her leftovers she could take her spot because some idiot with a blog said so! She walked over to the bar where Charlie was.

"Shot of Jack please," She said. Charlie looked at her, "I just got back up north," She giggled, "I've still got some southern girl in me." He kissed her. "You never seen me shoot whiskey have ya Conway?" She exaggerated her accent.

"You're really hot right now," He laughed. She smiled. If they wanted a Queen Bee who was the center of attention, they would get one.


Annie lay quietly in bed next to Adam. He looked at her. She looked distracted and peaceful.

"Hey," He said rubbing her shoulder gently, "You OK?" She kissed him.

"I love you," She whispered. He smiled. She giggled as he started kissing her neck. Her phone went off.

"Who'd be calling you?" He laughed, taking it from the bedside table. "It's a text. From Duck Watch. You are so lame."

"I like Duck Watch," She said, "I think it's funny." He opened the text and frowned. "What?"

"Why did you have this party?" He asked.

"Because Tammy came home," She sighed, "And you were coming, and I thought it would be fun. Why?" He tossed her the phone and stood up. "Adam, its bullshit!" She said insistently.

"Yeah," He nodded, "It is. And I'm kind of sick of it. What I loved about you was that you weren't into all of this!"

"Adam," She whispered, "Don't, I'm not into it. So I threw a party! Who cares? I love you, this was so special, don't ruin it."

"I just need some air," He whispered and kissed her. "I'll be back." He walked out into the party, grabbed a beer and then onto the fire escape, and saw Charlie there. "Hey. When'd you get here?"

"About a half hour ago," Charlie shrugged, "Where've you been?"

"Annie," He sighed. Charlie looked at him. "Dude, I'm not going to tell you about it!"

"Right," Charlie nodded. "What are you doing out here though?" He sighed and took his phone out, accessed the internet and pulled it up. Charlie read it and nodded. "That explains the Jack shots."

"What?" Adam laughed.

"Oh, Carlyle has decided to become Tammy but with a twang tonight," Charlie said, "It's very sexy but until now bizarrely unexplained." Adam laughed. "Dude, come on. You know that Annie doesn't care about that kind of stuff."

"Carlyle though?" Adam looked at him.

"I love Carlyle," Charlie said, "But she gets hung up on weird shit. I try to ignore and think about the stuff that I love about her." Adam nodded, "Why'd you hook up with her?"

"Honestly?" Adam looked at him. "We were bored out of our minds man." Charlie laughed. "No, she's beautiful and charming. I couldn't really resist."

"Exactly," Charlie smiled.

"Baby," Carlyle drawled out the window, "Come dance with me! Hi Adam!" She giggled and stepped out. "Where's Annie?"

"I'm gonna go find her," He smiled and climbed inside. Carlyle smiled and put her arms around Charlie's neck.

"I thought you wanted to dance Miss Walton," Charlie laughed wrapping his arms around her waist.

"We are dancing," She whispered. He smiled and kissed her. "I love you."

"I love you too baby," He said.
