The phone rang. Desi went to the next room to answer it, because there was only one room in her house and it was in her living room, as far away as you could possibly get the contraption.
"Hello, city morgue," Desi answered, trying as hard as she could not to laugh at the unexpected person on the other end.
"Uhh, I think I got the wrong number, I was looking for the Capes," Desi heard Chris's voice on the other line, making it harder for her not to laugh.
"No, you have the right number, didn't they tell you young man, the Capes have moved in with the dead."
Chris chuckled, "Buh dum chh!"
"What do you want?" Desi asked, regaining her normal voice.
"I heard you were babysitting, can I come?"
"I am starting to think you like Kelsey more than you like me."
"To think it took you so long."
"Sure, the parents are leaving in around ten minutes."
"I'll be there."
"Or be square," Desi replied with a smile.
She went into the kitchen to make dinner for her and Kelsey. To think that no one in the house made dinner and it had to be the sister. 'God this family is so messed up,' Desi thought, 'and they cant even hire a reliable babysitter, she cant come she says, well I wonder why, she's been off with the Cobras every night. BET YA DIDN'T KNOW THAT DAD'
Desi got so angry that she had completely mutilated the chicken she was making, and it was a frozen one, that all she had to do was cook it for a little.
She dumped the chicken and put on some pasta, seeing as that was the only other thing she could really make besides pancakes.
Desi's parents came down the stairs, got their coats and left without the slightest whisper of a goodbye to her. A silent tear rolled down her cheek, but Desi brushed it away, because she isn't one to cry.
"Kelsey! Dinner is ready!" There was no answer from her.
"Kel, what are you doing?" Still no answer. Desi quickly but quietly ran up the stairs to her sisters bedroom and peeked into the open door. There was Kelsey, surrounded with her dolls, playing with them like she was the mother and those were HER kids.
"Don't worry, Fluffy, I will tuck you in at night, I wont forget about you, and I will never forget to cook you dinner." Kelsey whispered as she picked up her favorite doll.
Then Desi remembered when she had done the same thing, when she was just a little girl and her parents neglected her just as much as they are doing to Kelsey. Quietly she knocked on the door to her sisters room and went in.
"Hey, what're you doing?" She asked.
"Nothing, just playing," Her smiling sister answered.
"That's cool, guess what?"
"What?!"
"Ok, first, dinner is ready, and guess who's coming to eat with us?"
"Who?!"
"Chris." Desi laughed as the smile on her sister's face widened.
"Are you going to get married to him? Because if you do, I will be happy because I like Chris."
"Kels, I am not old enough to get married, if I married him I would be thrown in jail and rot there forever!!!!"
Desi made Kelsey dinner of Chicken with a side of rice. Very good for someone who can't cook, Desi thought.
"Desi, I am not gunna eat your chicken," Kelsey stated at the same time as there was a hard knock on the door. Desi and Kelsey went to the door to get it.
"Who is it?" Desi asked, even though she knew who was there.
"This is child services, I have come to take away, Kelsey Capes, she is now going to live forever at, let me see here, the Chambers residence," He made sure that it was loud enough for Kelsey to hear.
"Ha ha! Desi! Now I wont have to live with you anymore!" Kelsey laughed, running to open the door.
"Damn, I feel loved," Desi pouted.
The three of them made their way to the kitchen. Kelsey quickly ate her rice, avoiding the chicken because it was 'gross.'
"You know Kelso, chicken is very good for you, give me a piece," Chris told her.
She picked up her riceless plate and handed it to him. Chris took one piece and ate it.
"Ew Desi, this stuff IS gross." Chris said making a face that Kelsey laughed at.
Desi pouted, "Fine! FINE! I'm never making you food again little girl! You are going to starve to death.!" She looked over at Chris for help. Chris laughed and ran after Desi, who in turn screamed and ran into the living room.
The living room had a couch and a desk, a radio and a lamp on one side, and the rest of the gigantic room was open space. Right in the center, as she was running, Chris grabbed her by the waist and pulled her to the floor.
Desi let out a squeal, "GEROFF MEEEEEE!"
Desi was laying on the floor, pinned by Chris who was holding back her hands. Then he kissed her, to her surprise. And to his surprise, she kissed him back.
It only lasted a second because Kelsey came running in.
Chris broke away, leaving Desi in a happily confused shock, "I got her Kelso!"
Kelsey ran over and jumped on her. Desi let out a grunt as Kelsey landed on top of her.
It was about eight thirty when Desi decided it was time to put Kelsey to bed, wanting as much time as possible to be alone with Chris. But not wanting too bad, because she didn't know what was going to happen. And she didn't want to give her hopes up.
No need for that.
Desi put her sister to sleep and went downstairs. Chris took her and sat her down on the couch and without saying a word, kissed her.
Desi broke away after a few minutes, "Chris, I never told you this, but I really like you. And I have probably since the day I met you, but I don't remember that far back."
Chris ran his hands through her hair, "I have felt the same way. Forever. The only one I have told was Gordie, I guess that wasn't helpful."
"At least you know you can trust him," Desi smiled.
Chris laughed nervously, "Hey, Des."
"Mmhmm?"
"Are we a, uhh, couple now?" Chris asked shyly.
"Sure," Desi kissed him on the cheek. In return he kissed her.
They were sitting, staring at each other with a new vision. They were sitting in silence when there was a loud angry knock on the door.
"Who goes?" Desi yelled, pissed off that there was someone there.
"It's Gordie."
"And Chelsea," Chelsea added, both of them sounding unusual.
"Come in," Chris and Desi yelled at the same time. The door opened and in stormed the two of them. Gordie walked over to Chris and pulled him into the kitchen. Chelsea took Desi by the arm and dragged her up the stairs.
"What the hell?!" Desi yelled, rubbing her now bruised arm.
"I cheated on Gordie," Chelsea looked down, ashamed.
"When did this happen? With who?"
"Well, it has been going on for about two weeks."
"I thought you were getting along with Gordie though, what happened?"
"Chris she has been cheating on me for TWO WEEKS! You know how many times I have kissed that girl in TWO WEEKS not knowing that she was frolicking off with someone else!" Gordie yelled.
"I cannot believe you just said frolicking."
"I'm SERIOUS man! What the hell am I going to do?"
"I don't know, dumping her is looking pretty good to me…"
"No shit, BUD, I did that already."
"Who was it?"
"TEDDY DUCHAMP!?!?!?!?" Desi screamed, "THE CHILD MOLESTER TEDDY! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!!!"
"Well, he's really nice, I mean, yeah, he's gotta little drinking problem, but it's not always. He's a real good kisser too."
"HoLEE shit Chelsea! Why didn't I KNOW?"
"Because I thought you were going to be mad because of what he did to you."
"Yeah, yeah, tell me things from now on… because now I don't want to know if I want to tell you things," Desi teased
"Tell me tell me tell me tell me!!!!!!!!" Chelsea whined.
"Gordie, I think you should let her go, if she wants to be with that pussy, so be it."
"She does."
"So be it…"
"I feel like shit."
"I don't," Chris smiled intently.
"Why not."
"Fine, I'll tell you, there is a new twosome in town," Desi said, "Chris and me are 'going out' even though I don't know how that is going to work, considering…"
"Ahhh! This happened tonight?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Niiiice," Chelsea said, happy for her best friend.
"I asked Desi out tonight."
"Yeahhhh what did that girl say?"
"Guess."
"Yes…"
"You win!"
"That rocks! For you…" Gordie said sadly.
"Damn, it only takes one night to change it all." Chris said to Gordie at the same time Desi said the same thing to Chelsea.
