"who's he talking to?"Antoine questioned, as he and Jason watched.

In other places Marcus, Jhosh, and hon were on the road."man, Miguel is going to be so surprised!"Jhosh exclaimed happily.

The bell rang, ending the first period for Harmony High and students began to pile themselves into the hallway and the end of this enourmous crowd was Tania and Ray J.
"so Tania, you going to the dance?"
Tania laughed as she looked at her friend."you mean that seventies roller disco three months from now, you know it!" she teased.
"cool, I'm going too."
"I was guessing that."
"yeah, I'm the d.j for that one you know?"Ray.J exclaimed.
"cool."
"so, um...you still like Trevon."
"where'd you hear that."Tania began when what she ment to say was no, yes...she didn't even know herself.
"Kori."
"that little, snitch."
"well do you?"
"kind of."Tania sighed as she stood infront of her locker.
"wait a minute, what do you mean by 'kind of'" Ray J began with a touch of hope in his voice.
"well I don't know---"
"Tania!" Trevon called."what's up girl?"
"Trevon."she repeated blankly.
"don't say that!" Charity giggled."no."she waited for a response."no!" she laughed, as she whirled her chair around."you're insane you know that!?"she continued to laugh.
On The Other End...
"it's true though!"Miguel went on, as Jhon,Jhosh and Marcus walked into the building.
"what's up Antoine?" Marcus nodded.
"sup fellas?" Antoine nodded in response.
"is he up there?" Jhon aksed.
"yeah," he began as he looked up the stairs " he's on the phone with the Mrs though."he rose his brow.
"hum." they all chimmed in as they went up the steps, and busten in through Miguel's door singing the worst of key version of happy birthday anyone's ever heard, as Miguel was still on the phone.
"what are they doing up there?"Charity spoke, as she tried to listened to the muffle terrible noise, she managed to get the words 'Happy and Birthday.' and her eyes widened as she dropped the phone.She grapped her calender and searched for December nineth."shit!" she exclaimed softly,"oh! sweetie mommy's so sorry,"she began as she softly rubbed her stomach."mommy's just...really, really stupid!" she ened as she bolted from her chair, hung up the phone and grabbed her coat."Felicity!" Charity called as she opened the door.
"yeah, Charity."
"I have to get going, there's something I need to do."
"no problem, your all done for today anyway."
"good."Charity trailed, as she raced down the stairs.
"baby?"Miguel called."thanks allot guys, she's gone!"Miguel huffed childishly.
"you're very welcome, man it's talk like that that got her pregnant in the first place."Marcus laughed, as he hung up the phone."plus you've got bigger things to worry about."
"you heard the news, Rodrigues is back in Harmony."Jhon began.
"I know."Miguel replied crisply.
"so what are you going to do?"Marcus asked.
"want us to jump him for you?"Jhosh offered.
"no, I have a little plan of my own."Miguel began as he looked down at his watch."now, if you excuse me I have a plan to carry out."Miguel ended as he headed out of his office the guys trailing behind.
"what are you going to do, Miguel?"
"nothing,"he replied calmly as he went down the stairs."let's just say me and Anthony are going to have a little talk."
"ha! your gonna kick his ass! aren't you Mikey."Jhosh laughed out.
"no way, Jhosh that isn't my solution to everything."
"yeah it is!"Marcus laughed.
"well it isn't now."
"see you guys later."
"alright."they chimmed as they watched him go.
"yup he's gonna beat him up."Jhosh nodded convinced.
Charity hurridely made her way down harmony's busy side streets looking for the perfect gift for her better half.She thought of that while she walked, and she knew Miguel wasn't the type to really fuss and go into grave detail as to exacty what he wanted, like she did most of the time.Miguel, was simple but in a way that made things more difficult Charity thought to herself, what present would be good enough to fit in the 'it almost looks like I didn't forget your birthday!' stature.The answer sat clearly in front of her.'Perfect!' Charity smiled as she walked towards Secret Passions, a store to please each and every simple man and to clear women of any troubles that might of come their way, like forgetting birthdays in Charity's case.
"look, I know I'm supposed to be leaving for my flight in a few hours but I want to make one last stop."Beyonce told Bobby, as she walkded into the very same store Charity was in.At first walking right past her as she continued to reason with her agent.
"hello, welcome to Secret Passions my name is Lori can I help you out?" the clerk asked a passer-by Beyonce."I guess not."she shrugged in a perky manor.
"yeah I'll be quick, I'll be out of here in a minute."Beyonce's said as she eyed a peice on lingerie"looks like this isn't going to take long."she smiled.No she wasn't going to use lingerie to lour Miguel into her clutches, but she did like what they had here and she was in the mood to shop hopefully something would come to her as she was shopping.
Charity looked wonderously around the lingerie boutique observing all of it's contraptions.
"hey Charity!" Lori exclaimed hapily as she went over to her friend.
"hey Lor, what's...what's up?" she began semi-consentrated.
"nothing, I heard the good news about you and Miguel I'm so happy for you two!" she squealed.
"thank you."Charity smiled warmly as she faced the woman.
"so, what can I help you with."Lori questioned her as she observed Charity eye the room.
"well, I forgot something...really important, so I want...something."Charity fumbelled not wanting the store clerk to know all the details.
Lori smiled knowingly, being very familiar with that situation at hand."something good enough to get you out of trouble right?"
"you know me too well."Charity sighed hopefully.
"I do, don't I."they giggled."look we just go a new shipment of stuff around there you take a look and I'll be there to help you out in a minute."
Charity slowly made her way to the area, slidding many pieces of lingeri to the other side before she saw it.Her eyes lit up at the shear genious in the piece of night wear, she smiled hapilly as she reached out her arm to it, only to feel someone tugging it away from her.'What the hell!?' Charity thought as she lightly tugged on the rack, only to feel someone on the other side tugging harder.
"look I saw this first so why don't you just let go!" Beyonce exclaimed as she peered over the rack to meet face to face with Charity."oh, it's you." she smiled confidantly, as Charity returned the same deminor of confidance.
Anthony, sped his way up Harmoine's steps as he opened the doors to the lavished fashion boutique.Walking by many women who gave him the eye.Especially Felicity who was sitting at her office, noticing the man whiz right past her motioning to open the door.
"wait! a second,"she exclaimed as she bolted out of her chair."you can't go in there!" she rose her timid voice as she placed herself infront of the door."Jesus, didn't you get it the first time Charity doesn't want you!"
Anthony eyed the woman, as she stood infront of the door he smiled casually as he observed her."well thank you, for the heads up," he began colly as he approached her." but I don't believ that anything that goes on between me and Mrs.Standish, is any of your damn business." he tossed her away from the door as he opned it, and walked in slamming it behind him.
"it's Lopez-Fidzgerald you jerk!"Felicity retorted, as she kicked the door.
He walked in quitely realizing the chair was turned to face the window, 'she must be there, I mean why the hell not I just got bum rushed by her secretary.' he thought to himself as h e took a big breath and began to speak."Charity, look I know you told me to leave but you just have to hear me out."
Silence was his only response.
"I really, I was just thinking...I wanted to tell you."he fumbelled."you know this is kind of hard facing your back, not that I don't enjoy it."he chuckeled, as he approached her."so why don't you turn around, so I can ---"
The chair slowly spun around, revealing Miguel sitting inside it hands folded as he glanced over at Anthony.His smile faded as he looked at his long time apponent, speachless to say the least."well, don't stop on my account, Tony go on.I was enjoyinh your emaculate plea for my wife's affections."Miguel smirked tentively, as he fully turned the chair around.
Outside, everyone watched the door anxiously wondering what Miguel was saying or better yet doing to Anthony inside Charity's office.They didn't hear anything being broken, so they knew Miguel wasn't causing the man any harm...yet.
"well look who it is,"Charity began as she folded her arms."I'm surely surprised. I thought you'd be sneaking yourself into my husband's office by know."Charity teased, sarcasticlly.
"not yet." Beyonce retored as they laughed dryly.
"so what bring you to Secret Passions, you wouldn't be buying any lingerie for a certain someone."Charity quizzed, as she observed the woman.
"I should ask you the same."Beyonce replied rasing her brow, both still hanging on for dear life to the poor dainty nightie.
Charity glared at the woman.She was so tired, of her attitude and her aimless ploys to get her husband, and she knew now was the perfect time to get the diva out of Harmony and out of her and Miguel's life for good!at this point the women were facing eachother."look, Beyonce alot of women have tried to come between my husband and I, hell my own cousin had a go at it."
"who said I was going after your husband."Beyonce gasped, as she played the inoccent plot.
Charity laughed softly."let's not play stupid here, Beyonce we both know you wanted a little more than a cute little house on the beach from Miguel,yesterday."
'Hell yeah!' she thought to herself as her eyes met with Charity once more."no, Charity why would I want to do something so taudry as to steal a hapilly married man away from his beautiful wife?"
Charity smiled "well I must be talking to the wrong woman," she steped closer to Beyonce as she beagn in a sligh whisper"but just so you know, any woman who'd think she'd be able to sway my husband away from me would be in for some kind of surprise.Because he only...thinks about, loves and desires one woman."
"I see."
"yeah, so before this woman...and I use this term loosely because a real woman wouldn't go after something she knew damn well wasn't hers."Charity went on, still keeping her composure"before she decides to prance around my man again, I hope she'll remember the simple fact that there's only room for one true woman in his heart...and sweetie, that space is already taken."Charity glared over at an astonished Beyonce.
'damn! bitch' she exclaimed in thought, as she returned a smile"I better get going,I have a flight to catch."
"you go do that, nice meatign you again."Charity spoke, as she stopped Beyonce once more."oh honey, you know that isn't your size."Charity began as she took the nighty out of her clutches."bye now!"Charity ended the conversation, as she watched the defeated diva leave.
"so you've found something?" Lori questioned, as Charity turned to her."I think it's a winner."Lori nodded in all honestly.
"me too."
"so you've caught me Miguel, what are you going to do."Anthony smiled, as he intimaded him."what'cha got for me pretty boy?"
"some words of advice.When your trying to get with a girl, you'd kind of want to try someone who has some remote attraction to you."Miguel commented as he got up."I guess that's awlays been you're problem hasn't it?First with Jennifer, now with my wife..."Miguel trailed.
"don't you start that bullshit with me Lopez-Fidzgerald, Jennifer loved me! until you came along."
"I'm sure she did."
"if you handn't took her from me we could've still been toghether now."
Miguel's eye brows lowered in pity." man we were fourteen, in a week she would've been gone anyway get over it."Miguel sighed, as he walked beyond Charity's office and past Anthony."you're really waisting your time here anyway."
"really?I don't think I was waisting my time up in Trinidad."
"what are you talkign about?" Miguel began blankly.
"don't you remember me? Mikey I'm Anthony Charity's ex.You know before, she found out she was still in love with you're sorry ass we hit it off pretty well, very well if you wanna know."Anthony startd knowing he'd strike a nerve."you know Charity has the nicest---"
"okay that's enough."Miguel laughed uncomfortably.
"what you don't want to hear the rest."
"look, Tony I'd love to sit here and listing to your sadistic fantasies, but unlike you I acctually have a life to tend to."
"you just can't stand the truth that you---"
Oh at this poitn Miguel was fighting , his erge to bit this bastard to a bloody pulp, but he couldn't he had to keep his cool for Charity and the baby's sake."Anthony, I want you to get out."
"no."
"I'm givong you two choises, either you leave on your own will or I make you leave.Now it's your choise but you have to know that either way your leaving and I'll always be ending up with the girl."he roared, as he glared at him, Anthony honestly to scared to step up to Miguel knowing exactly how bad a beating from him was, he stormed out without another word.
Night Fall...
"alright ,alright everybody I won'r be teasing you any longer the man you've been waiting for is in the building ready to preform all his baby making jams.So fellas hold on to your ladies real tight, as Joe comes to the stage."Marcus ended as he stepped off the stage, crowd roaring like crazy as Joe made his way up to the stage.
Somewhere in the room, stood Jessica entertwined with Reese."did I tell you, how much I adore you."Jessica smiled, as he swayed her back and forth. "not enough."he teased,as he leaned in to kiss her while holding her close.
"goodnight everybody,"he smiled as he spoke suavely."I guess I'll start with my new joint, for y'all tell me what you think."he began as he fixed the mic stand while cueing the band.
Na na na...(Baby.) Na na na...(you've got that look on your face...) Na na na...(like you wanna go all night...) Na na...( and I like that.)
Oh oh,
Na na na...( I just want you to know that...) Na na na...(I'm more than ready to go to the next level...) Na na na...(you know what I'm saying...)
For as long as your willing girl, want you to know that I'm willing too where you want me to go girl, I'm be willing go there for you. If you want me to take my time, I'll be willing to spend the night, all you gotta say is; 'please stay Joe' and I'll be staying as long as you sayin'
More and more, and after that you want more and more. than after than you want, more and more, and after that you want more, more.
"baby, I'm home." Miguel called out, as he walked in taking off his coat.
"good, I've got a surprise for you." Charity called back.
"you do...?" he smiled, as he walked over to the steps, and leaned on them."want me to come up?"
"no!"Charity ordered sagely."I'll be down in a minute."
"okay." Miguel laughed, as he went over to the wall trying to see what Charity was hiding.While she appeared at the top of the steps, leaving Miguel utterly speachless.
I hear you say, more and more... then after that you want,more and more... and after that more and more... then after that, more more.
"so what do you think,"Charity smiled coyly refurring to the black and pink baby doll, as she stepped down slowly."do you like it?I thought I'd bake you something...but then I figured, when you saw this you wouldn't really care..."Charity went on as she steped down closer to him.
Miguel faught hard to search for the words, to describe how goregeous she was looking but he couldn't really find them, thinking them would just have to do for now, as he marveled over her as she made her way off the steps.
"your silence is too reassuring ,birthday boy."She laughed seductively as she faced him.
"well that's only because you don't need me to tell you how good you look."Miguel finally spoke up, regaining his cool.
"good!?"Charity playfully whinned."I didn't do all this to look just 'good' I'm sorry Mr. Lopez-Fidzgerald you're going to have to do a little better than that."she ordered as she , rested her arms on his shoulder pressing herself extra close to him.
He smirked, as he put his hand on her soft face."okay," as he bit his lip, and took an indepth look at his wife.
Now, if you want me to make your love flow... I'll be willing to do anything, even if you want me to kiss places, I'll be willing to make you scream. Said, I'm down for wahtever you say all you gotta do is speak your mind, want me here Monday to Monday baby girl it's fine! as long as you're sayin...
"you look devastatingly beautiful and to be quite honestwith you, I'm having a real difficult time thinking good thoughts while your standing here looking tempting as you do."he ended."so,Mrs Lopez-Fidzgerald, was that to your liking"he whispered, in her ear.
"much better."she replied, as she kissed him deeply.
More and more, and after that you want more and more. then after that you want, more and more, and after that you want more, more.
I wanna hear you say,more and more... then after that you want,more and more... and after that more and more... then after that, more more.
"follow me."Charity instructed, quietly as she lead Miguel up the stairs.
Girl will be, going... from the bed to the floor,babe. Then will be going... to the bed, to the kitchen babe. Then will be going... from the kitchen, to the dinning room. Straight to, staight to the living room. I'll be taking you up...
taking you up the stairs babe. I guaranty... that I'm about to drive you crazy. We'll be all pver the house, babe. we'll be all over the house. As long as your screaming for me, sayin' : ' give me more.'
"wait, wait hold on."Miguel asserted, as he stoped on the top of the steps.
"what's wrong?"
"baby, what's the rush"he beamed, as he got a hold of her hand leading her closer to him."it's my birthday right?"
"it better be!" Charity huffed, under her breath as Miguel gave her an awkward look."I mean, yeah it is.I don't get it what are you getting at, Miguel?"
He smiled boyishly, as he drew her closer to him."I want, to enjoy my...'birthday present.' "he began as he slid his arm around her waiste."you know, enjoy every single aspect of it."Charity smiled, as Miguel whispered to her.Ending his statement with an array of hot kisses on her neck working his way up to her lips.He kissed her warmly and passionately.before he stepped away.
"humm?"Charity asked blankly still sprung.
"hold on."he said, as he kissed her soflty before dissapearing into their bedroom, Charity close behind.She watched him pick up the phone and put and unplug it while tossing it to the side.Only to turn back to her, with a heart melting grin as Charity stepped to him."
In Other spots...
More and more, and after that you want more and more. then after that you want, more and more, and after that you want more, more.
I wanna hear you say,more and more... then after that you want,more and more... and after that more and more... then after that, more more.
"what the Hell?" Jhosh exclaimed, as he put the pay phone back on the reciever.
"what's wrong Jhoshy?"Marcus asked as he past him.
"nothing, it's just that I called Charity and Miguel figuring they'd want to be here tonight,but they said their number wasn't regirstered."Jhosh rambeled."guess, their phone must be off the hook."
Marcus smiled"or..."he laughed childishly.
"or, what?"
"well all I'm saying is, if I had a wife and it was my birthday tonight this is the last place I'd wanna be."
Jhosh smiled aswell catching the joke, as the two laughed.
"what was that you said, about Charity?"the typical big brother,Jhon popped in from as if nowhere with Simone on his arm.
"oh nothing." they both replied quickly before dissapearing, into the crowed room.
"thanks for bringing me here, I love Joe."Simone beamed, as she gazed up at Jhon.
"and I love you."
"very slick, sweetie."she giggled as she tickled him adoringly.
"that's how you love me."he smiled, as he lead her dance floor.
"didn't want any interuptions."Miguel said as he faced her.
She only smiled at his unique way of thinking,.
"so, um...where were we." he gleamed.
"well," Charity began, as she sat him down, placing herslef on top."I think you,were talking about enjoying your birthday."she went on unbuttoning his shirt,sneaking in as many kisses as she could."and I want to make sure, you do exactlly that."
"oh yeah?"
"definatelly."she grinned, as he fingertips ran down his ripped chest letting them fall on his belt.Charity faught with the thing fro a moment before sighing in defeat."I...I can't get it off."she looked down shamefully.
Miguel smiled, as he kissed her softly on the forehead."let me do it."Charity slid off him, as Miguel got up from the bed.
It's 'bout time that I show, that I'm not I'm not your average Joe. All the ladies sing with me...
She watched him drop his atire to the floor, as he joined her back on the bed.He kissed her slowly as they fell back onto the bed.
Na, Na, Na Na na na Na na na Na na...all the ladies sing with me.
Na, Na, Na Na na na Na na na Na na...
"hey."Miguel began as he picked up the phone."what are you doing?"
"who's he talking to?"Antoine questioned, as he and Jason watched.
"who else!?" Jason laughed in response.
"hum, why do I even have to ask."
In other places Marcus, Jhosh, and hon were on the road."man, Miguel is going to be so surprised!"Jhosh exclaimed happily.
"no he won't Jhosh we do this every year on his birthday, Hell he's probably expecting us by now!"Jhon snorted as he drove on."were late."

"we know Jhoshy, don't even worry 'bout it."Marcus replied warmly to his friend, as he flipped on the radio.
"hey you were just listening to all the things your man won't do, out of our Joe marathon."Peach began.

Charity slowly made her way to the area, slidding many pieces of lingeri to the other side before she saw it.Her eyes lit up at the shear genious in the piece of night wear, she smiled hapilly as she reached out her arm to it, only to feel someone tugging it away from her.'What the hell!?' Charity thought as she lightly tugged on the rack, only to feel someone on the other side tugging harder.
"look I saw this first so why don't you just let go!" Beyonce exclaimed as she peered over the rack to meet face to face with Charity."oh, it's you." she smiled confidantly, as Charity returned the same deminor of confidance.
Anthony, sped his way up Harmoine's steps as he opened the doors to the lavished fashion boutique.Walking by many women who gave him the eye.Especially Felicity who was sitting at her office, noticing the man whiz right past her motioning to open the door.
"wait! a second,"she exclaimed as she bolted out of her chair."you can't go in there!" she rose her timid voice as she placed herself infront of the door."Jesus, didn't you get it the first time Charity doesn't want you!"
Anthony eyed the woman, as she stood infront of the door he smiled casually as he observed her."well thank you, for the heads up," he began colly as he approached her." but I don't believ that anything that goes on between me and Mrs.Standish, is any of your damn business." he tossed her away from the door as he opned it, and walked in slamming it behind him.
"it's Lopez-Fidzgerald you jerk!"Felicity retorted, as she kicked the door.
He walked in quitely realizing the chair was turned to face the window, 'she must be there, I mean why the hell not I just got bum rushed by her secretary.' he thought to himself as h e took a big breath and began to speak."Charity, look I know you told me to leave but you just have to hear me out."
Silence was his only response.
"I really, I was just thinking...I wanted to tell you."he fumbelled."you know this is kind of hard facing your back, not that I don't enjoy it."he chuckeled, as he approached her."so why don't you turn around, so I can ---"
The chair slowly spun around, revealing Miguel sitting inside it hands folded as he glanced over at Anthony.His smile faded as he looked at his long time apponent, speachless to say the least."well, don't stop on my account, Tony go on.I was enjoyinh your emaculate plea for my wife's affections."Miguel smirked tentively, as he fully turned the chair around.
Outside, everyone watched the door anxiously wondering what Miguel was saying or better yet doing to Anthony inside Charity's office.They didn't hear anything being broken, so they knew Miguel wasn't causing the man any harm...yet.
"well look who it is,"Charity began as she folded her arms."I'm surely surprised. I thought you'd be sneaking yourself into my husband's office by know."Charity teased, sarcasticlly.
"not yet." Beyonce retored as they laughed dryly.
"so what bring you to Secret Passions, you wouldn't be buying any lingerie for a certain someone."Charity quizzed, as she observed the woman.
"I should ask you the same."Beyonce replied rasing her brow, both still hanging on for dear life to the poor dainty nightie.
Charity glared at the woman.She was so tired, of her attitude and her aimless ploys to get her husband, and she knew now was the perfect time to get the diva out of Harmony and out of her and Miguel's life for good!at this point the women were facing eachother."look, Beyonce alot of women have tried to come between my husband and I, hell my own cousin had a go at it."
"who said I was going after your husband."Beyonce gasped, as she played the inoccent plot.
Charity laughed softly."let's not play stupid here, Beyonce we both know you wanted a little more than a cute little house on the beach from Miguel,yesterday."
'Hell yeah!' she thought to herself as her eyes met with Charity once more."no, Charity why would I want to do something so taudry as to steal a hapilly married man away from his beautiful wife?"
Charity smiled "well I must be talking to the wrong woman," she steped closer to Beyonce as she beagn in a sligh whisper"but just so you know, any woman who'd think she'd be able to sway my husband away from me would be in for some kind of surprise.Because he only...thinks about, loves and desires one woman."
"I see."
"yeah, so before this woman...and I use this term loosely because a real woman wouldn't go after something she knew damn well wasn't hers."Charity went on, still keeping her composure"before she decides to prance around my man again, I hope she'll remember the simple fact that there's only room for one true woman in his heart...and sweetie, that space is already taken."Charity glared over at an astonished Beyonce.
'damn! bitch' she exclaimed in thought, as she returned a smile"I better get going,I have a flight to catch."
"you go do that, nice meatign you again."Charity spoke, as she stopped Beyonce once more."oh honey, you know that isn't your size."Charity began as she took the nighty out of her clutches."bye now!"Charity ended the conversation, as she watched the defeated diva leave.
"so you've found something?" Lori questioned, as Charity turned to her."I think it's a winner."Lori nodded in all honestly.
"me too."
"so you've caught me Miguel, what are you going to do."Anthony smiled, as he intimaded him."what'cha got for me pretty boy?"
"some words of advice.When your trying to get with a girl, you'd kind of want to try someone who has some remote attraction to you."Miguel commented as he got up."I guess that's awlays been you're problem hasn't it?First with Jennifer, now with my wife..."Miguel trailed.
"don't you start that bullshit with me Lopez-Fidzgerald, Jennifer loved me! until you came along."
"I'm sure she did."
"if you handn't took her from me we could've still been toghether now."
Miguel's eye brows lowered in pity." man we were fourteen, in a week she would've been gone anyway get over it."Miguel sighed, as he walked beyond Charity's office and past Anthony."you're really waisting your time here anyway."
"really?I don't think I was waisting my time up in Trinidad."
"what are you talkign about?" Miguel began blankly.
"don't you remember me? Mikey I'm Anthony Charity's ex.You know before, she found out she was still in love with you're sorry ass we hit it off pretty well, very well if you wanna know."Anthony startd knowing he'd strike a nerve."you know Charity has the nicest---"
"okay that's enough."Miguel laughed uncomfortably.
"what you don't want to hear the rest."
"look, Tony I'd love to sit here and listing to your sadistic fantasies, but unlike you I acctually have a life to tend to."
"you just can't stand the truth that you---"
Oh at this poitn Miguel was fighting , his erge to bit this bastard to a bloody pulp, but he couldn't he had to keep his cool for Charity and the baby's sake."Anthony, I want you to get out."
"no."
"I'm givong you two choises, either you leave on your own will or I make you leave.Now it's your choise but you have to know that either way your leaving and I'll always be ending up with the girl."he roared, as he glared at him, Anthony honestly to scared to step up to Miguel knowing exactly how bad a beating from him was, he stormed out without another word.
Night Fall...
"alright ,alright everybody I won'r be teasing you any longer the man you've been waiting for is in the building ready to preform all his baby making jams.So fellas hold on to your ladies real tight, as Joe comes to the stage."Marcus ended as he stepped off the stage, crowd roaring like crazy as Joe made his way up to the stage.
Somewhere in the room, stood Jessica entertwined with Reese."did I tell you, how much I adore you."Jessica smiled, as he swayed her back and forth. "not enough."he teased,as he leaned in to kiss her while holding her close.
"goodnight everybody,"he smiled as he spoke suavely."I guess I'll start with my new joint, for y'all tell me what you think."he began as he fixed the mic stand while cueing the band.

More and more, and after that you want more and more. than after than you want, more and more, and after that you want more, more.
"baby, I'm home." Miguel called out, as he walked in taking off his coat.
"good, I've got a surprise for you." Charity called back.
"you do...?" he smiled, as he walked over to the steps, and leaned on them."want me to come up?"
"no!"Charity ordered sagely."I'll be down in a minute."
"okay." Miguel laughed, as he went over to the wall trying to see what Charity was hiding.While she appeared at the top of the steps, leaving Miguel utterly speachless.
I hear you say, more and more... then after that you want,more and more... and after that more and more... then after that, more more.
"so what do you think,"Charity smiled coyly refurring to the black and pink baby doll, as she stepped down slowly."do you like it?I thought I'd bake you something...but then I figured, when you saw this you wouldn't really care..."Charity went on as she steped down closer to him.
Miguel faught hard to search for the words, to describe how goregeous she was looking but he couldn't really find them, thinking them would just have to do for now, as he marveled over her as she made her way off the steps.
"your silence is too reassuring ,birthday boy."She laughed seductively as she faced him.
"well that's only because you don't need me to tell you how good you look."Miguel finally spoke up, regaining his cool.
"good!?"Charity playfully whinned."I didn't do all this to look just 'good' I'm sorry Mr. Lopez-Fidzgerald you're going to have to do a little better than that."she ordered as she , rested her arms on his shoulder pressing herself extra close to him.
He smirked, as he put his hand on her soft face."okay," as he bit his lip, and took an indepth look at his wife.
Now, if you want me to make your love flow... I'll be willing to do anything, even if you want me to kiss places, I'll be willing to make you scream. Said, I'm down for wahtever you say all you gotta do is speak your mind, want me here Monday to Monday baby girl it's fine! as long as you're sayin...
"you look devastatingly beautiful and to be quite honestwith you, I'm having a real difficult time thinking good thoughts while your standing here looking tempting as you do."he ended."so,Mrs Lopez-Fidzgerald, was that to your liking"he whispered, in her ear.
"much better."she replied, as she kissed him deeply.
More and more, and after that you want more and more. then after that you want, more and more, and after that you want more, more.
I wanna hear you say,more and more... then after that you want,more and more... and after that more and more... then after that, more more.
"follow me."Charity instructed, quietly as she lead Miguel up the stairs.
Girl will be, going... from the bed to the floor,babe. Then will be going... to the bed, to the kitchen babe. Then will be going... from the kitchen, to the dinning room. Straight to, staight to the living room. I'll be taking you up...

"wait, wait hold on."Miguel asserted, as he stoped on the top of the steps.
"what's wrong?"
"baby, what's the rush"he beamed, as he got a hold of her hand leading her closer to him."it's my birthday right?"
"it better be!" Charity huffed, under her breath as Miguel gave her an awkward look."I mean, yeah it is.I don't get it what are you getting at, Miguel?"
He smiled boyishly, as he drew her closer to him."I want, to enjoy my...'birthday present.' "he began as he slid his arm around her waiste."you know, enjoy every single aspect of it."Charity smiled, as Miguel whispered to her.Ending his statement with an array of hot kisses on her neck working his way up to her lips.He kissed her warmly and passionately.before he stepped away.
"humm?"Charity asked blankly still sprung.
"hold on."he said, as he kissed her soflty before dissapearing into their bedroom, Charity close behind.She watched him pick up the phone and put and unplug it while tossing it to the side.Only to turn back to her, with a heart melting grin as Charity stepped to him."
In Other spots...
More and more, and after that you want more and more. then after that you want, more and more, and after that you want more, more.
I wanna hear you say,more and more... then after that you want,more and more... and after that more and more... then after that, more more.
"what the Hell?" Jhosh exclaimed, as he put the pay phone back on the reciever.
"what's wrong Jhoshy?"Marcus asked as he past him.
"nothing, it's just that I called Charity and Miguel figuring they'd want to be here tonight,but they said their number wasn't regirstered."Jhosh rambeled."guess, their phone must be off the hook."
Marcus smiled"or..."he laughed childishly.
"or, what?"
"well all I'm saying is, if I had a wife and it was my birthday tonight this is the last place I'd wanna be."
Jhosh smiled aswell catching the joke, as the two laughed.
"what was that you said, about Charity?"the typical big brother,Jhon popped in from as if nowhere with Simone on his arm.
"oh nothing." they both replied quickly before dissapearing, into the crowed room.
"thanks for bringing me here, I love Joe."Simone beamed, as she gazed up at Jhon.
"and I love you."
"very slick, sweetie."she giggled as she tickled him adoringly.
"that's how you love me."he smiled, as he lead her dance floor.
"didn't want any interuptions."Miguel said as he faced her.
She only smiled at his unique way of thinking,.
"so, um...where were we." he gleamed.
"well," Charity began, as she sat him down, placing herslef on top."I think you,were talking about enjoying your birthday."she went on unbuttoning his shirt,sneaking in as many kisses as she could."and I want to make sure, you do exactlly that."
"oh yeah?"
"definatelly."she grinned, as he fingertips ran down his ripped chest letting them fall on his belt.Charity faught with the thing fro a moment before sighing in defeat."I...I can't get it off."she looked down shamefully.
Miguel smiled, as he kissed her softly on the forehead."let me do it."Charity slid off him, as Miguel got up from the bed.
It's 'bout time that I show, that I'm not I'm not your average Joe. All the ladies sing with me...
She watched him drop his atire to the floor, as he joined her back on the bed.He kissed her slowly as they fell back onto the bed.
Na, Na, Na Na na na Na na na Na na...all the ladies sing with me.
Na, Na, Na Na na na Na na na Na na...
