Chapter 3
Sorry again. It's taking me forever to get these chapters up. The research paper from hell is almost done and when I finish it the chapters will come faster. Anyway, here's chapter 3. Enjoy, and review!
Lindsay, Eugene, Bobby, Ellenor, Lucy, Jimmy, and Rebecca arrived at Helen's about twenty minutes after she called.
"Hey guys." Helen greeted them brightly.
Mike was watching a football game as they all made their way into the apartment. Lindsay put the popcorn and beer in the kitchen and then sat down on the couch with Bobby and Mike. Eugene and Ellenor sat in the two recliners that were also in the room, which left Lucy, Rebecca and Jimmy on the floor.
"I'm gonna pop the popcorn, Linds why don't you come help me." said Helen with slightly dark eyes.
Lindsay got up from the couch and slowly made her way to the kitchen.
"I told you." said Bobby from the couch.
Lindsay turned around to glare at him before stepping into the kitchen.
"What in the hell were you thinking?" asked Helen angrily as she ripped the plastic off of the popcorn and shoved it into the microwave.
"I was thinking hey I think Helen likes Mike, I know Mike likes Helen maybe they should hang out a little bit." answered Lindsay defiantly.
"Well you know what Lindsay, next time you decide to set me up on a date, tell me first! I would never do this to you." Lindsay opened her mouth to respond but Helen cut her off. "Do you have any idea how uncomfortable this was for him? You humiliated him."
A small smile slowly spread over Lindsay's lips as she realized that Helen was more pissed on Mike behalf than on her own.
"What in the hell could you possible be smiling at?" asked Helen, her voice rising at the end.
"You're mad cause I embarrassed him." she said. "You don't care that I humiliated you, you're just mad for his sake."
Helen's eyes grew as she realized her mistake. She was about ready to say something when the microwave beeped. Lindsay grabbed the popcorn and a bowl and left the kitchen with a triumphant smile on her face.
"What are you smiling at?" asked Ellenor when Lindsay returned to the living room and placed the popcorn on the table.
Lindsay just shook her head and grinned.
"What are we gonna watch?" asked Lucy, clearly bored with the football game.
"Whatever you want. Grab something off of that shelf." said Helen as she came back into the living room and sat on the couch between Bobby and Mike. Lindsay grinned at her and Helen crossed her arms over her chest. Lucy got up to pick out a movie.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Jimmy.
"She's mad cause she's bad liar." said Lindsay.
"I kicked your ass in college and I'll do it again if you don't shut up."
"Geeze, you must have pissed her off pretty good." said Ellenor.
"Will you guys quit your bickering? I came over here to watch a movie and I'm not gonna be able to hear it if you guys don't shut up." Eugene said.
Helen glared at Lindsay one last time before turning her head toward the television to watch the movie that Lucy had slipped into the VCR before anyone could see what it was. Bobby picked up the remote and fast- forwarded through all of the previews. When the title came across the screen everyone except Lucy and Helen groaned.
"I can't believe you own this movie." complained Bobby.
"I can." said Lindsay. "Doesn't she kind of remind you of Kathryn?"
"Oh thanks Linds. And you remind me of Annette."
"Guess that makes me Sabastian" said Bobby with a smirk.
Helen and Lindsay looked at him for a long moment before bursting into laughter.
"Will you guys please shut up." grumbled Lucy from the floor.
Helen and Lindsay's laughter subsided and they all turned their attention to the television to watch Cruel Intentions.
"If it helps any you don't act a thing like her." Mike whispered into Helen's ear.
Helen grinned before whispering back, "I can't. I don't have a step brother."
Mike chuckled and they both set back to watch the movie. About half way through Helen felt something lightly brush her shoulder and glanced at Mike to see that his arm was on the back of the couch. She debated with herself for a moment before deciding to be straightforward and carefully laid her head on Mike's shoulder. A few seconds later she felt his arm move from the back of the couch to her shoulders and smiled. Lindsay glanced over and saw how they were setting. She nudged Bobby and pointed to the opposite end of the couch. Bobby looked over and saw them and rolled his eyes at the victorious smile that Lindsay was wearing on her face before putting his arm around Lindsay.
Kate, ice-woman, and rossandrachelforever, thanks for the reviews. I need someone's opinion. Should I continue with it out of work or should I work a case into it? I'm still working on the thing that Bobby and Helen have been hiding from Lindsay that might take me a few more chapters, but I can't decide if it would be better with a trial. Let me know what u think.
