"Karen I wish you would have had something to eat at the restaurant."
Grace said as they entered the elevator to Will and Grace's apartment.
"I know honey, but the martini's filled me up."
Grace and Karen exited the elevator to find Will and Jack in the hallway.
"Hey, we've been trying to call the two of you, where have you been?" Jack asked with a look of concern.
"Looking for us? I thought you wanted me out of your life missy, what's going on?"
"No I changed my mind, you're back in!"
"What? Sorry Jack but you hurt my feelings; you're going to have to make it up to me."
"Ok, what do I have to do?"
"Well how the heck should I know? You're going to have to figure that out on your own."
The gang entered the apartment and Will opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass for everyone.
Jack explained that he had become a little confused and scared by his feelings towards Karen and Karen begrudgingly accepted his apology.
The foursome moved from the kitchen table to the living room and Will opened another bottle of wine.
"So Jack let me get this straight, if it weren't for the whole sex issue you could see yourself falling in love with me?" Karen asked with a devilish grin.
"Ugh Karen I don't know. If you were a man you would be Mr. Right. Does that answer your question?"
"Well I think it opens the door to a lot more questions. Think about it for a minute. Maybe you're not actually gay, maybe you're bisexual."
"No, no I am a gay man Karen."
"Look Jack I'm not saying you're not indeed gay, I just think you shouldn't be so quick to slap a label on yourself. Take me for instance, I've been attracted to women before but you don't seem me going around calling myself a big lez."
"Karen what are you talking about?" Will asked as he poured himself another glass of wine. "Are you saying you're bisexual?"
"No, what I'm saying is I'm not willing to classify myself as being one particular way. I think people should keep their options open, otherwise they might miss out on something wonderful. For god's sake look at Stan, now I would have never guessed I would marry an enormously obese man, but here I am married to Moby Dick himself! What if I hadn't gotten past the hundreds of layers of fat? I would have never seen what an incredibly wealthy man he really is."
"Well that's a beautiful story Karen, but I don't think that helps to explain Jack's feelings." Will replied.
"No, I think Karen has a point." Grace said. "I mean who's to say you should exclude the possibility of falling in love with someone just because of their sex. When you get down to it it's the person you're falling in love with, not their sex."
"So Karen, have you ever done anything with another woman? Grace asked sheepishly.
"Well no, but maybe someday I will."
"Oh come on Karen, you talk a tough story but when you get down to it you could no sooner make out with another woman than Jack could."
"Oh really, care to make it interesting Wilma?"
"What do you have in mind?" Will asked
"I'll make out with Grace right here and now."
"Wait Karen, I think I should have a say in this." Grace said with a look of panic.
"Aw come on Grace; let's show these two what we're talking about.
"No offense Karen, but I'm going to need a lot more wine before I'm going to make out with you."
Karen grabbed another bottle of wine and handed it to Grace. The two of them finished the bottle of wine and they made themselves comfortable on the couch.
"Even if you two do make out it doesn't prove a thing." Will said. "Making out is one thing, but having feelings toward someone of the same sex is totally different. You two can make out all you want but it's still not going to prove your theory to me."
"Hey, I'll have you know I find Karen to be an extremely attractive woman Will. Look at her; she's beautiful." Grace said as she winked at Karen; a gesture to encourage her to play along.
"Yeah and I'll have you know I've wanted to kiss this woman for years, I've just never had the opportunity till now." Karen replied while returning the wink to Grace.
Karen leaded toward Grace and pretended to kiss her neck while she whispered to Grace to follow her lead and not get too freaked out.
Grace replied by grabbing Karen's face and pressing her lips into Karen's. The two of them kissed for over a minute before they parted lips and rested each others foreheads against one another.
"Hey Kare that was kinda nice," Grace said as she gave Karen a quick hug. "We should do that again sometime!"
"Ok so are you two saying you actually felt something?" Will questioned.
"Of course we did honey. You're a really good kisser Grace!"
"Thanks Kare, you're pretty good too!"
"This is too weird; I have no idea how to respond to what the two of you just did." Jack said with a look of utter confusion.
"Aw come on Jack, don't be such a prude."
"Karen, you're a married woman and you just made out with someone you admit to being attracted to. I'm sorry if my being uncomfortable with that makes me a prude, but I think it's wrong."
"Hey, first of all who the hell are you to preach morals sleep around Sue? And second of all, Grace and I are just friends, it's not like we're going to do anything. And lastly, my fat bastard of a husband has been in jail for over a year now; if I want to make out with Grace I think I'm entitled!"
"Alright you two, let's calm down." Grace said as she put an arm around Karen and tried to calm her down. "I think maybe we've all had a little too much to drink tonight, let's call it a night and go to bed. Karen you can spend the night here, you shouldn't be going home in your condition."
"Oh you'd like that wouldn't you Grace?" Jack said while getting up from the couch. "You got Karen drunk so you can seduce her!"
"Jack you're being ridiculous." Will said. "Grace is right Karen, you've had too much to drink, why don't you take my bed and I'll spend the night at Jack's."
"Well aren't you quick to offer yourself to Jack. How do I know you haven't gotten him drunk so you can seduce him?" Karen shot back.
"Yeah Will, Karen's right. I think you planned this whole thing just so you could get me into bed."
"Ok, listen up drunk and delusional, no one in this room wants to seduce either one of you."
"Well I think I'd feel better if Karen spent the night at my place," Jack said, "Grace and Karen certainly shouldn't be left alone together after what we just witnessed and I don't feel safe being left alone with you Will. I know you want me."
"Fine, I'm going to bed." Will said and headed for his room.
"Karen, you sure this is what you want? You're ok staying at Jack's? Grace asked.
"Yeah it's fine honey, but could I borrow something to sleep in?"
"Sure," Grace grabbed Karen's hand and led her to her bedroom, "Jack we'll be right back."
Grace handed Karen a pair of boxer shorts and a t-shirt.
"Sorry Kare, but this is the best I can offer you."
"Thanks honey," Karen replied and began to strip her clothes off.
"Wow Karen, you really don't have any inhibitions do you?"
"Well Grace, it's not like I've got anything you haven't got. Well, ok so I've got a killer rack, but other than that we've got all the same parts."
"Alright poodle", Karen exclaimed as she and Grace re-entered the living room, "I'm all yours."
Grace opened the door and watched the two of them enter Jack's apartment. She picked up the wine glasses from the coffee table and placed them into the dishwasher. After emptying the trash she headed to bed herself. "What a weird night!" Grace exclaimed as she entered her bedroom and shut the door.
