Cass stopped at the video store when she got to Charlotte and rented 3 movies. She got two action adventure movies for the guys and one romance for herself. They would just have to suffer through it. She got popcorn and a ton of candy. She then made a stop at a burger joint and got 6 huge burgers and 2 plates of loaded cheese fries. She was starving. She hadn't had anything but protein bars and water. She couldn't wait to get home to the guys.

Mark was lying on the couch watching TV bored out of his mind. He looked over at Glenn who was sprawled in a chair looking as bored as him.

"Do ya think Cass will call soon?" Mark asked.

"She said she would call when she was headed back." Glen said.

Damn if he didn't miss her Glen thought. He couldn't stand being away from her.

"I guess I'll just go to bed early tonight. There's nothing to do and I don't want to go bar hopping." Mark said.

 Glen just shrugged.

Just then the door opened and Cass walked in with a million bags. Glen jumped up and grabbed the bags and set them down.

"Surprise." Cass said jumping into Glen's arms.

Glen kissed her a million times. He was so happy to see her.

"Wow did you miss me?" Cass asked.

"I sure did honey." Glen said.

Mark had never been so happy to see anyone; it was like a ray of sunshine lit up the room.

Glen set Cass down and she walked over and gave Mark a hug. Mark lifted her off her feet and kissed her cheek.

"Glad yer back little one." Mark said and set her back on her feet.

Cass looked at Mark and frowned and then looked at Glen.

"What in the hell happened to you two. I can't leave you two for a day. Looks like you were in a brawl." Cass said putting her hands on her hips.

Mark and Glen both looked down not really wanting to tell her what happened.

"Spit it out now boys." Cass said.

"Darlin it's my fault. I picked this girl up and her boy friend and a bunch of his buddies jumped me. Glen was just watching my back." Mark said looking embarrassed.

Cass went to the bathroom and got a first aid kit and came back and set it on the dining table.

"Both of you over here, I bet neither one of you cleaned them up did you?" Cass asked.

They came over and sat down.

"Well we took showers." Mark said.

Cass rolled her eyes and proceeded to clean the cuts and abrasions on there faces.

"Ouch." Mark said when she cleaned the cut on his lip and put some ointment on it.

"Sorry." Cass said and soothed it with her thumb.

Mark looked up at her and at that moment he would have jumped off a mountain for her and that scared the hell out of him.

Cass got them both cleaned up and pulled the food out and set it on the table.

"Damn girl this looks good." Mark said tearing into the loaded cheese fries.

Cass sat down and they ate.

"I got us some movies to watch tonight and plenty of junk food." Cass said.

Mark and Glen checked out the movies while they ate.

"Thanks Cass, we were bored out of minds before you got back." Glen said.

"So who won this fight last night?" Cass asked.

"We did." Mark said proudly.

"So I take it you won the girl?" Cass said raising an eyebrow at Mark.

Mark looked down.

"Well uhh yea." Mark mumbled. He didn't exactly want Cass knowing about his sex life.

Glen was smiling. He could tell Mark was embarrassed.

"Well Mark I hope you used protection. You have to be careful when you have casual sex." Cass said.

Glen couldn't help it he burst out laughing.

Mark turned a bright red.

"Shut up Glen!" Mark snapped.

"Little girl I'm old enough to know to use protection." Mark snapped.

Cass put her hand on Mark's arm.

"I'm sorry I just wouldn't want anything to happen to you." Cass said quietly.

Mark looked up at her. He saw nothing but concern in her eyes. He nodded and went back to eating.

Cass got up.

"I'm going to go take a shower." Cass said.

"You guys put a movie in." Cass said.

"I'm glad she's back." Glen said watching her go to their room.

Mark silently agreed.
