Chapter Twelve
Jack woke up before Karen and he slowly got off of her and off the bed. He opened the door and jumped a little when he saw Will sitting on the couch eating a bowl of cereal. "What are you doing here?" Will asked, when he saw Jack. "Just hanging with Karen," Jack answered, as he walked to the front door to leave. "Wait," Will pleaded, setting his bowl down. "What do you want?" Jack asked, tapping his foot on the ground. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Todd. You're my best friend and I should have told you," Will answered. "I'm glad you realize that Will Truman," Jack said lifting his nose in the air. "Forgive me?" Will asked, extending out his arms. Jack thought about it for a second and then sighed. "Okay, okay. But you have to tell me how he is in bed," he answered, as Will laughed. "Aww Jack...No," he said, as the two of them hugged.

Grace walked into Carter's office and gasped when everything was gone from it. "Wow, it looks different when there is no furniture in it," she commented, as Carter smiled. "Yeah, I know. Everything has been moved to the other office, so you can start today," she said, as Grace took out her cell phone. "I'll call in the people I have working for me and they'll move all the new furniture in here," she said, as she started dialing the number. "Okay. I'll be in the room next door if you need me," Carter replied, walking out. When she walked into the other room she was a little surprised to see Jack there. "Hey," he greeted when he saw her. "Hi, what are you doing here?" she asked, as she sat down in the chair behind her desk. "Well I followed Grace here because I didn't know where your building was located. I need to ask you some stuff," he answered, sitting down as well. "Ask away," she said. "How did you know Stan was cheating on Karen?" he asked curiously. "I just knew," she answered shrugging. "Yeah, but how?" he asked. "I've seen him with another woman. Does Karen know he's cheating on her?" Carter asked back. "Yeah, she's going to divorce him," he answered. "Where is she going to stay?" Carter asked, trying not to sound too concerned. "At my place," Jack answered, as she narrowed her eyes. "But you only have one bedroom," she said. "How did you know that?" he asked her, as she smiled. "I just know and I own the building," she answered chuckling. "Well I'm probably going to sleep on the couch," he said. "Where's your boyfriend going to stay?" she asked, as he stood up. "Sarah Jessica Parker, you are freaking me out! How do you know all this stuff!" he exclaimed. "It's a secret," she whispered smiling. "You know..I like you. You are very...scary, yet interesting," he said, sitting back down. "Thank you, I guess," she replied. "I don't know why Karen doesn't like you," he said, as she sighed. "Maybe one day she will," she replied with a hint of sadness.
Meanwhile Karen had just arrived at Jack's apartment with all her suitcases and of course, Rosario. She set them down on the floor and frowned when she saw Ryan. "Don't worry, I don't like you either," he said, as her mouth dropped open. "Excuse me?" she asked, as he walked into the kitchen. "I've seen the looks you give Jack. Let me remind you of something, he is gay. Your nothing but a hag," he answered. "I know he's gay and I don't give him any certain looks," she said defensively. "Whatever," Ryan sighed out, as he walked toward the bedroom. "Rosie, did you hear that?" Karen asked her maid. "He's right," the older woman answered. "What?" Karen asked surprised. "You do give Jack loving looks," Rosario answered, as Karen scoffed. "I don't want to hear anymore. Make me a martini!" she exclaimed, as she plopped herself onto the couch.
Three hours later, Jack arrived home and smiled when he saw Karen and Rosario sitting on the couch. "Hey ladies," he greeted as he kissed each one of them on the cheek. "Hey papi," Rosario greeted back happily. "Where were you?" Karen asked, as Jack nervously rubbed his hands together trying to think of an answer. "I was, um, at, the supermarket," he answered, as she gave him a suspicious look. "For three hours?" she asked. "Yeah, I was checking out all the venders, but don't tell Ryan," he answered, as she laughed. "I won't," she said, as she made a face at Rosario. "Don't just sit there. Get me another drink!" she exclaimed, handing her the glass. "Shut up, you drunken witch," Rosario muttered as she walked into the kitchen. "I hope you like it here. I know it's not your elegant penthouse, but at least it's something, right?" Jack asked, as she kissed his mouth lightly. "It's perfect Jackie," she answered, resting her head on his shoulder. Ryan scoffed as he watched the two of them from the slight crack of the bedroom door. "This is ridiculous," he muttered to himself, as he unhappily shook his head.
