Chapter 14 Part 1
Emilio and Jeff had gotten back to the apartment, as Emilio decided to heat up some milk to go along with some lemon cookies.
"Want in Jeff?" The young man asked as he changed into a black t-shirt that said Murder Was The Case and on the back Death Row Records Summer of '95 on Lockdown with the names of various artists from the label's then roster along with white basketball shorts.
"Sure, why the hell not." Jeff said as he grabbed a plate of cookies and the warmed milk
"So you wanna know what me and the group planned huh ese?"
"Yes I do ese." He added a bit of playful sarcasm with the ese
"Well if you wanna know promise me you aren't gonna cry."
"I promise whole heartedly I won't cry"
"Well the original plan was for you to come back, being somewhat more enlightened and such while we did our work under your nose and ask general questions."
"Okay."
"Then, by next month me, Abed, and Duncan would start egging you on to go to the dance of course we'd tell you that you needed to get out and live a little and have the time of your life all that jazz." He paused dunking his cookie in the milk. "So after that, I would have had the ladies work on Annie which they have been doing my hats off to them."
"Wow, you seemed to have thought about this greatly and with a lot of detail." Jeff said taking a sip of his milk.
"Yup, after convincing you I'd lend you one of my prized trenchcoats as you got yourself mentally prepared to see Annie in a setting much similar to the Tranny Dance." Just as Jeff was about to ask he reminded him that Jeff had spoken on their kiss, "yeah after that I would have gotten you a tailored suit, by a guy my pop knows in the area and create a suit much similar to the one you wore at the TD I know genius right."
"Wow, you have all your bases covered."
"Totally, I'm crazy like that in case you did not notice." He had a glint of Jim Carrey mixed with Jack Nicholson in his eye.
"Go on….." Jeff was now more intrigued at his young friend's plan
"Well once the girls managed to convince lil' ole Annie then everything was set I ordered a bouquet of 100 purple roses, Annie's favorite I believe, a hundred lavender candles and as you and Annie kiss Abed will be grabbing a boombox and playing Back To The House That Love Built by Tito And Tarantula."
"Wow, I'm amazed." Jeff got up out his seat and hugged the man who had become like a younger brother.
"You're gonna cry now."
"N-No, I just have something in my eye." Jeff was now sniffling like a child, that's when Emilio told him to let it out.
"Now once that's done with I'll shout you guys out and have your first song to dance to it's Malaguena Salerosa by Robert Rodriguez's band Chingon."
"I've never heard it before."
"Really anyway, once you two dance I'll have your car ready and you can go to one of these four fine establishments The Greenlight Bistro, Vincenzo's Café, Maxwell's or that taco joint the study group seems to love."
"Yeah we don't really go there ever since Abed got into it with the manager over whether or not Die Hard was a good movie."
"Okay so that doesn't surprise me, also one last thing how long is your mom gonna be in town?"
"Until September, why do you ask?"
"Well should you and Annie decide to make love, have sex like wild apes, whatever you two wish to do each other I can take your mom out until you're finished or she can sleep in my room while I take the couch."
"Wow, you would do that for us?"
"Yup, look mano it's time we go to sleep we'll talk about it more in the morning."
"Alright."
As they said goodnight all Jeff could think about was that kiss and every time he closed his eyes he saw her smiling at him, reliving those brief minutes in his mind it was then he noticed a bulge in his pants.
"Damn it."

Meanwhile
"Hey Annie." Rachel waved as she walked into the door
"I assume you brought us our coffee?" Abed said while doing an analysis on Annie's face to see how coffee went with Jeff.
"Yes I did I got you both blended frappe's."
"This should do thanks." Rachel said just as Annie was about to walk into her room she heard Abed's voice
"How did coffee with Jeff go?"
"It went fine, we talked…about things."
"What kind of things?"
"Things okay, and that's all you need to know."
"Fine." Annie had shut her door as Abed had the chocolate-mocha flavored beverage in his hand
As she got into her room she changed into her pink nightgown and grabbed a stuffed bear that her father gave her shortly before her parents divorced.
Much to the same effect she couldn't sleep either all she could think about WAS Jeff, the body of a greek god, the wit of a thousand Lewis Black's and the heart of an angel.
The more she thought about Jeff, the more she started getting aroused at the idea of him letting him take her and have them become one mind, body and soul.
She closed her eyes as her hands got lower.

A few hours later
It was Friday morning, rather 6:40 am from the look of Emilio's clock, this morning he decided to go with a more casual look that being a pair of Lugz boots, a Hillsboro Hops baseball jersey, black stonewash jeans, a Carhartt jacket and beanie.
When he woke up he saw Jeff making breakfast, trying not to face Emilio.
"Well good morning man, nice to see you make breakfast and what's this I'm assuming that's either a strap in your underwear or you're just happy to see me." Pointing to Jeff's bulge as he was hunched over trying to hide it
"Please don't tell anybody."
"Let me guess you spent all night thinking about Annie now lil Jeff needs to be burped." Emilio chuckled
"This isn't funny, I try not to sexualize Annie because then I—"
"Guess what homie, she's a twenty four year old woman who is one fine mamacita and guess what she's getting older so it isn't wrong man, besides I've seen dudes who were so into chicks that they spent most of the day making sure they hid their junk via textbooks."
"Wow that oddly helped."
"Yeah I know, now get yourself relieved private I'll handle breakfast." Emilio said as Jeff rushed to the bathroom.
As Emilio finished up making the eggs and ham combination with French toast, biscuits and gravy with a Fanta on the side, it was roughly about 16 minutes later that Jeff emerged from the bathroom.
"See what did I tell you."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Sure, you just say that Jeff, anyway, I'm going to the animal shelter to help Britta out get her kitten Courtney want in."
"No, I figure I'll stay in tonight."
"Alright, your loss holmes."
"Besides, you've been hanging out with Britta more than me."
"Yeah, that's because it's kind of sad a woman like her is alone with those cats and nobody else there with her."
"Yeah, I think you're taking this matchmaker thing too serious."
"I just want to see all of my friend's happy."
"Take my advice, playing Superman all the time gets pretty tiring."
"Whatever man, you know one day all of you are gonna thank me."
With that the men finished their breakfast as Emilio grabbed a pair of Rayban Predator sunglasses, as he told Jeff he'd see him later.
Emilio made sure at today's meeting to call DJ Slick with the group to confirm that he would DJ at the dance, but right now he figured that he would play some music on the ride over. That's when he began to play Them Bones by Alice In Chains from their album Dirt.
Aaah! Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!
I believe them bones are me
Some say we're born into the grave
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile of them bones
Aaah! Aaah! Aaaaaaaaah!
Dust rise right on over my time
Empty fossil of the new scene
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile of them bones
Toll due bad dream come true
I lie dead gone under red sky
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile of them...
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile of them...
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile of them bones
Emilio began singing along with Layne's haunting vocals as he reached the guitar solo he pulled up to Greendale, and parking at the first available spot.
Walking into the cafeteria where he saw Britta drinking her coffee, he walked up to his friend seeing how she was doing.
"Hey Britta."
"Oh hey, sorry I just haven't really slept I'm just worried about Courtney." Britta said as she was almost nodding off.
"Look, we'll go the shelter and settle this out alright so no need to worry." Emilio said as he sat down looking at his friend.
"Thanks, you really are a cool guy I know one of the girl's from my old anarchist group has a younger sister though she has a kid I think so I'm not sure if you're cool with that."
"Nah, I'm good I don't wanna be a substitute daddy."
"Alright, how about this since you're intent on helping everybody else I'm going to help you find a girlfriend whether you like it or not."
"Bring it on sister, I bet I can find you a boyfriend before you can find me a fly ass honey."
"Let's make it interesting if I find you a girlfriend, you have to take interpretive dance class."
"Really, that's it?"
"You have to wear a leotard."
"Fair enough, I'll accept that."
"How about me."
"You have to go on a double date with Jeff and Annie along with me getting a free unlimited tab at your bar after my 21st birthday."
"Deal." The two shook hands before she asked how things went with Jeff and Annie.
"It went pretty well, scratch that it went better then well apparently they made out and it weirdered everybody out at the café."
"Wow."
"Yeah and this morning I woke up to find Jeff at full mast if you get what I'm saying."
"Totally there were sometimes after me and Jeff—"
"No, no, no, no I'm not trying hear all that freaky stuff you were into."
"Actually we were more tame than you imagine."
"Still not trying to hear it, that's for you and Jeff."
"Anyway what did you say when you saw him."
"I told him to do what every man should do."
"Right and did he do it?"
"He talked about how he didn't want to sexualize Annie, this that and the third and I told him she's a grown woman it's okay to think about her when talking to Dr. Hans."
Britta laughed hysterically at the last part it took her nearly six minutes to stop laughing.
"You find anything funny don't you?"
"Guess so." Britta composed herself
"Look, I gotta head to class I'll see you in a bit."
"Okay, see you later."
Few hours later
Classes went by more quickly than usual Emilio was almost done with his Philosophy paper, he was sure he aced the first Intro To Law class test (it was multiple choice which was his strongsuit), and grabbing his usual sandwich and his vanilla Coke.
When he arrived to the study room, the group had yet to arrive so as he finished his Coke he felt a finger poke him, it was Ben Chang.
"Hi." Chang said as he pushed his face next to Emilio's ear.
"What the hell dude, damn near gave me a heart attack." Emilio was shocked at how sneaky the former Spanish teacher could be.
"I'm not going to hurt you, I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to talk."
"Talk about what you psycho?"
"I want to help with Jeff and Annie's surprise date thing."
"Really? And why should I let you?"
"Duh, because I'm like best buds with them, plus you should have a little Chang in your life." Chang started leaning in way too closely.
"Lean back before I do your face proper first of all, second you can help out with setting up of the arrangements and third if you so as much use your name as a pun I will beat you up with the baseball bat Ice-T gave me for my 15th birthday."
"That's cool, you won't regret it." Chang walked back slowly before yelling out "It'll be a game Chang-er."
Emilio couldn't be bothered with the little psychotic man, right now he needed to contact a DJ. Everyone came in about 15 minutes later.
"Alright everybody is here, so let's start the meeting." Annie said as she had an unusually huge smile on her face while saying it.
"Alright, so since we decided who our DJ is going to be I figure we call him and let him know he got the job."
"Sounds good, I can't wait to speak with him." Shirley said in her usually chipper voice.
"Cool, cool, cool."
That's when he grabbed his cell to call Slick.
"Hello, who the hell is this?" Said a low almost smooth voice
"It's me Emilio, Cesar and Vanessa's son."
"Yeah, you called me about that community college deal."
"Yeah big homie, you got the gig."
"For real?"
"Yes sir, I got you on speaker phone with my associates organizing the dance." That's when Emilio signaled everyone to say hello.
"Man I don't even have the words, when's the dance?"
"It's the 27th of next month." Annie spoke up so the DJ could here her
"Alright, I'mma slide through by the 8th to talk business, right now I'm in Reno."
"Cool, we'll talk then."
"Alright, one love."
"One love." Emilio had hung up
"Well I assume that well." Shirley said
"Yup, he'll be here by the 8th since he's in Reno, Nevada."
"Okay, that's good, any other business to discuss." Annie said
"The sound system, we haven't gotten that yet." Britta said after snapping her fingers
"It's taken care of." Abed said
"How did you get it dude?" Emilio was curious along with the group as they all looked at him
"I convinced Starburns, by telling him I'd shoot a documentary of him called Starburns: More Than Just Facial Hair." Abed calmly spoke as he said this
"And you're actually gonna do it?" Britta said
"Yeah, I figure I should get back to making films and this would be a good jumpoff point."
"Anything else?" Annie said as she looked around nothing she banged the gavel as everybody left.
That's when Abed and Rachel came up to him to about the strange noises they heard coming from Annie's room last night and the correlation of how it might relate to having coffee with Jeff.

Meanwhile at Jeff's place
Doreen had gone to the market to buy some food leaving Jeff to check up on some papers left by Dean Pelton for the fall semester he was alone listening to music. Ever since meeting Emilio, Jeff had become more interested in music no longer just listening to a song simply because it was what everybody else listened to now he payed attention to the music.
He had downloaded Malaguena Salerosa from his iTunes (along with the rest of the Kill Bill soundtracks and their album Mexican Spaghetti Western for the hell of it and was actually enjoying them.)
Que bonitos ojos tienes
Debajo de esas dos cejas
Debajo de esas dos cejas
Que bonitos ojos tienes.
Ellos me quieren mirar
Pero si tu no los dejas
Pero si tu no los dejas
Ni siquiera parpadear.
Malaguena salerosa
Besar tus labios quisiera, pues
Besar tus labios quisiera.
Malaguena salerosa
Y decirte nina hermosa.
Que eres li...da y hechicera,
Que eres linda y hechicera
Como el candor de una rosa.
Si por pobre me desprecias
Yo te concedo razon
Yo te concedo razon
Si por pobre me desprecias.
Yo no te ofrezco riquezas
Te ofrezco mi corazon
Te ofrezco mi corazon
A cambio de mi pobreza.
Malaguena salerosa
Besar tus labios quisiera
Besar tus labios quisiera.
Malaguena salerosa
Y decirte nina hermosa.
Eres lin...da y hechicera,
Que eres linda y hechicera
Como el candor de una rosa.
Y decirte nina hermosa.
He had to look up the lyrics in English just he could be sure what they meant and he was honestly surprised at how Emilio picked out that specific song for them to dance to (he assumed Emilio went over various songs that sounded similar to him and Annie's situation while picking at random). Needless to say he owed Emilio and the group BIG TIME for this.
As he kept listening to the music he had the biggest smile on his face and he wasn't sure why, but he was happy that he had it.

Back at Greendale
"So you're telling me you heard strange noises from Annie's bedroom and that matters why?"
"I think, she might have been fantasizing about Jeff, sometimes in her diary she goes into great detail about having sexual fantasies with Jeff literally more freakier than 50 Shades Of Grey." Abed said as Emilio stood there processing what had been said
"And you read her diary without her knowing?"
"Well in my defense I used to do it a lot more when Troy was around, now that me and Rachel are dating we only do it during the weekends."
"Wow man you're cold you know that right."
"Maybe, but anyway the strange noises were mostly moaning, panting and at the very end I'm pretty sure we heard some crying."
"Yeah, it was really weird afterwards when we tried knocking she told us to go away." Rachel said as she adjusted her glasses
"Look whatever Annie does in her bedroom is none of our business okay, even if she is thinking about getting down with Jeff besides how would you like it if Annie and Jeff were listening to your intimate moments." Emilio said as the both of them silently "now can we drop this or what."
"Fine."
"Sure."
"Alright, besides I may want to read some of her diary as well." Emilio smiled at the two as Abed and Rachel nodded to each other.
"Meet us in a few days."
I decided to split Chapter 14 into two parts I know, I know hopefully you liked the extra dose of humor in this chapter I figure I'd take a break from the romance in this update next update will include Britta and Emilio going to the shelter and debating about music as well as Abed and Rachel sharing some of Annie's diary entries with our OC.
