Chapter 11.

Grace's thoughts ran wild. Karen could use a computer?

"Wait a minute" she said when the thought hit her. "You're in love with Karen?"

Will didn't answer for a second or two.

"Yeah, I think I might be" he said so quiet he almost whispered.

"What? Are you sure?" Grace looked at him with disbelief.

"Yeah, I kinda am. I knew that I had feelings for my emailfriend before I knew who she was so I guess now I'm in love with Karen" Will said and sat down next to her looking straight in front of him.

Grace didn't say anything first, just laid a hand on his arm.

"Will, she needs to know."

"Yeah, well I think I got a plan to ease it out for her" he said and looked at his best friend.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, but you have to promise not to say anything to anyone, OK? You promised me before you knew, now you have to promise again and no crossed fingers."

Grace gave him a hug and said into his shoulder:
"I promise I won't tell a soul."

Will hugged her back and sighed.

"Just play along OK?" he whispered into her hair.

She nodded and tightened her hug.

"Will do you ever hug men?" Jack asked as he came inside the door closely followed by Karen.

Grace and Will let go of each other as Will stood up and automatically went to the kitchen to prepare a glass of wine for Karen.

"Alright Wilma, you're catching on" she said in her highpitched voice and took the glass from him.

He gave her a little smile and went back to the couch to sit down with Grace.

"What's that? What's going on? What's happening?" Karen pointed at Will and looked at him with suspicion.

"What?" he asked.

"That thing on your face?"

"What? You never heard of a smiling person?" Will asked. "Smiling is what a happy person does when he ... oh sorry I think I jumped ahead here" he said. "Happiness is an emotion ... oh sorry again, an emotion is something that ..." he said in a mocking tone.

"Wilma, I know what happiness is, you homo" Karen said mocking him back. "Why are you smiling, as far as I know you're not as happy as you're pretending you are. You're not that gay... haha.." she leaned her head back from laughter when she got her own punchline.

Jack started laughing too like on a que. He was Karens puppet, she could control him with just a wave of her hand, if it held a creditcard in it.

"Very funny you guys" Grace said and smiled behind her hand.

Will gave her a wondering look and she shrugged her shoulders.

"What? Will it actually was kinda funny, even if it came from Karen" she said.

"Yeah, very funny" Will said a little testy.

"Oh come on Will" Grace said and pouted a little and wrapped her arms around Will's shoulders, laying her cheek on his shoulder.

He started to smile at her, he couldn't help it. Grace was his best friend and always there to make him smile and feel better.

"What did I do to deserve you Grace?" he whispered.

"Oh lots of things" she answered back.

"Oh would you two just get a room and get on with it" Karen said, looking disgusted.

The night went on like this, Will and Karen mocking each other, well more Karen was mocking him than the other way around, but sometimes he did it back though he had sworn he wouldn't do that anymore but she annoyed him and pressed to many buttons for him to ignore. 'I gotta calm down' he thought. 'I can't let her do this to me, if I do, she'll never wanna be with me.' So he stopped listening to the others while he was thinking about his plan which formed nicely in his head.
