Chapter 2
Sorry it took so long. I have a massive research paper due in a few weeks and it has been taking up most of my time. Anyway, here's the second chapter. Bobby Jr. and Zoey are at a babysitter's in this. I forgot to mention it in the story. Enjoy, and feedback please!
Helen walked through the door of her apartment completely intent on ordering a pizza, taking a nice, long, relaxing bath, and watching whatever chick flick was on television until she fell asleep. She laid her briefcase and jacket down on the kitchen table and then picked up the phone.
"Yes, I would like a large pizza with everything on it delivered to 53rd Street, apartment 14. " she told the pizza guy. "How long will that take?"
"Uh, ida know, about half an hour." replied the teenager taking her order.
She rolled her eyes. He sounds like he's high. She thought smirking a little.
"Ok thanks." she said to him and hung up.
She was about to make her way to the bathroom for her bath when someone knocked on the door. Who the hell could that be? She thought before opening the door.
"Mike." she said in surprise.
"Hey." he replied.
"Uh, come in." she said stepping aside to let him through the door.
"Where's everyone at?" he asked.
"Hu?" asked Helen completely baffled at to why he was there and what he was talking about.
"Lindsay called me at the office and asked me to come over here to hang out and watch a movie with you guys."
Realization quickly dawned on Helen and she groaned.
"I'm gonna kill her." she muttered while heading toward the phone.
"What's going on?" asked Mike.
Helen dialed Lindsay's number before she answered him. "Lindsay is playing match maker."
"Oh." said Mike as he realized that Helen didn't really invite him over. His face fell a little and Helen suddenly felt bad for him but she didn't have time to say anything before Lucy picked up the phone.
"Donnell, Young, Dole, and Frutt." she said.
"Hey this Helen, put Cupid on the phone please. I need to have a word with her."
At the office Lucy covered the phone and looked at Lindsay.
"It's Helen. She sounds kinda pissed." she said before she handed the phone to Lindsay.
"Hey Helen how's it going?" asked Lindsay cheerfully.
"Oh it's going just fine Lindsay. Hey could you do me a favor? Since you're coming over to watch movies and everything pick up some beer and popcorn on the way. Thanks. Bye." Helen said. She then hung up the phone before Lindsay had the chance to protest.
"Well that was fun." she said smiling a little. "You want something to drink?" she asked Mike.
"Uh no thanks. I'm gonna go. I uh guess I'll see you at work sometime." he said as he moved toward the door.
"Wait. They're all coming over now to watch movies. You might as well stay and join us. Besides if Lindsay shows up and realizes that her plan didn't work she's gonna be in a bad mood all night and trust me Lindsay mad is something no one wants to deal with on a Friday night."
He smiled and bounced from foot to foot slightly as he made up his mind. "You sure you don't mind?"
"Of course not." she said. "Now, what do u want to drink?"
Back at Donnell, Young, Dole, and Frutt Bobby was getting annoyed.
"So now we actually have to go over there for the night?" he asked angrily.
"Yea she kinda didn't give me any choice. She just said bring popcorn and beer and hung up." answered Lindsay. "Besides it'll be fun. We haven't all hung out for a long time. It'll be just like old times."
"Oh god." muttered Bobby.
"What's your problem? We all used to hang out all the time when I lived there." she asked.
"We were going to go out to a nice, peaceful dinner alone tonight." he wined.
"I'll make it up to you next weekend. I promise." she said.
"So wait." said Lucy. "All of us are invited?"
"Yes Lucy, you can come to." said Lindsay.
"Good." She said. Then after thinking for a moment she asked, "Hey, do you think we can get Helen drunk?"
Ellenor rolled her eyes. "Why would we want to do that?"
"It'd be funnier than hell. I mean seriously she's usually so uptight around us. It'd be cool to see her loosen up for awhile."
"So were all going?" asked Bobby.
"All going where?" asked Eugene as he, Rebecca, and Jimmy came out of Bobby's office.
"To Helen and Ellenor's to eat pizza and watch movies." answered Lucy happily.
"Since when?" asked Rebecca.
"Since Lindsay decided to stick her nose in Helen's love life." answered Bobby.
"You'll all be fine. One night of relaxation won't hurt you." said Lindsay as she grabbed her coat off of the coat rack, "Let's go."
