--------Ten Lords Leaping-------
Eric was at work when Catherine came to his office again to ask him a question that got him annoyed.
"Hi, I want to know if you are doing anything tonight, cause I would love for you to go to a motel with me." Catherine said while standing near the front of his desk where he was seated across from her.
"Look, You are a very nice lady, and nice looking but I am happily married and don't want to do anything to jeopardize that.
"Well, I don't give up that easily and you will want me eventually." Catherine said as she was leaving his office
Eric went back to work but wondered why she was not leaving him alone.
Walter Reed Junior High-
Simon was walking to class when he saw Deena at her locker then walked up.
"Hey, I was wondering if I could take you out to the ice cream Shoppe after school."
"I'd love to but I got homework." Deena says.
"I can come to your house and help you after I get home."
"Okay Simon." Deena says then the bell rang and they went their separate ways.
John F. Kennedy High-
"So Lucy, what are you doing for Christmas?" Jessica, Lucy's friend asked while they were talking at Lucy's locker.
"Staying home. My grandparents are coming from New York and Arizona. How about you?"
"I'm leaving for Wilmington, North Carolina with my mom and dad. I'm going to see my grandparents there too."
The bell rang, Lucy and Jessica went to class. Mary was walking down the hall when she saw Jack who is in her English class, she went up to him to ask if he can help her for the test which he said yes.
After school, Mary goes to Eric's office to see if he had any idea when the Colonel and Ruth were coming, Eric was doing his sermon.
"Hey Mary. What's up?"
"I was wondering when the Colonel and grandma Ruth are coming." Mary asks as her dad takes off his reading glasses then sits back a little.
"They are coming on Wednesday afternoon." Eric tells her.
"What about Grandpa and Ginger?"
"Sunday after Church." Eric responds.
"You don't have any Christmas music?"
"No, why?" Eric says as he kind of laughs.
"Just seems kind of boring. If you have no counseling sessions then why not?" Mary responds then continues, "I'll see you in a little bit." Mary then leaves.
"Okay." He replies putting his glasses back on and going over his sermon.
Mary then calls Matt about an hour after dinner since Simon came home before dinner from Deena's.
"Okay, We should do it on Friday." Mary says as Lucy was sitting on Mary's bed. Simon and Ruthie were on Lucy's bed sitting facing Mary like Lucy was.
Matt then calls Annie.
"Mom? Hey, can I take the twins and the kids out shopping on Friday?"
"Sure. I was hoping if you don't mind picking up Ruthie and Simon as well."
"Okay, no problem. Bye." Matt says then hangs up.
Mary figures everything is set as the kids do their homework while Lucy was talking to Annie while watching tv in the living room.
"Mom, I need to meet my friend, Jack at the library tomorrow. He's going to help me with my homework. Is that ok?"
"That's fine Luce but make sure Mary take you. If she can't, I will or your father will."
"Thanks." Lucy says then goes upstairs when Mary goes to the living room and Eric happens to walk by.
"Mom, we need more toilet paper."
"I can go get some." Eric offers.
"Okay." Annie says.
"I'm going to get some now. Bye." Eric says then leaves.
"Okay." Annie says as Ruthie comes downstairs to see what Annie was doing when she sees her dad leave and Mary went back upstairs to her room.
"What are we doing?"
"I'm watching tv, and the Christmas episode of The Dick Van Dyke is coming on, wanna watch?" Annie asks as Ruthie sits next to her.
"Okay."
At the store-
Eric picks up the brand toilet paper that Annie always gets and turns to go pay for it. A woman who was down the same isle who had been eyeing him the whole time says,
"That's a wonderful brand of toilet paper. I like it because it's soft on the behind."
Eric smiles, then responds, "Um yeah I guess it is." he smiles and turns to walk away again thinking how strange the lady was and turns a shade of red.
As Eric walks to the car, he realizes she is still watching him and following him which really bothers him. While he is getting in the car she pretends to accidentally bump into him which causes him to drop his bag then when he bends to retrieve the bag, she bends down too and kisses him.
"Uh, look, I don't know why you are following me and I don't know why you would kiss a total stranger but, I'm married with 5 kids and twins on the way and I'm very happy so, don't take this the wrong way but I..." Eric tells her then is interrupted.
"You're not a total stranger. I go to your church. " She responds.
"Then you know I'm happily married with 5 kids and twins on the way." He said starting to get a little aggravated with women coming on to him and knowing he was married.
"Well, yeah but you are just so darn sexy I just couldn't help myself." She says then walks to her car and Eric put the bag in the passenger seat that he dropped.
When Eric locks the door to the car then goes in, locks the door and realizes the house is quiet. He then drops off the toilet paper in the bathroom and notices everyone is in their rooms asleep. He goes to his room to find Annie in her sexy lingerie giving him a sexy look and crooks her finger as to tell him to come to her.
Eric sees her then says, "Oh no, not you too" He closes the door then looks at Annie.
"What?" Annie sits up a little then says confused.
"What is it with women today? Is there a full moon?" he says looking out the window to see if the moon is full.
"Eric, what are you talking about?" She asked confused.
"I'm talking about... Oh never mind! I'm just not in the mood, Okay?"
"What is with women today?" Eric asks then says quietly as he walks in the bathroom, "Why can't you women just leave me alone?"
While in the bathroom he brushes his teeth, changes into his night clothes then comes to bed. He turns off the light as he climbs in the bed.
Annie cuddles next to him and tells him, "I bet I can get you in the mood."
Eric suddenly sits up and says, "I'm not a toy you women can turn on anytime you feel the urge to play!"
Annie looks at him baffled as to how mad he has gotten.
"I'm sleeping on the couch!" Eric yells as he puts on his robe, grabs his pillow then opens and closes the door.
Annie sits there for a few minutes longer then goes to sleep not knowing what is wrong with her husband.
