After dropping Matt and Scott off at school CJ and Juno stopped at Jaren's house. They found Jaren and his girlfriend, Mary, sprawled out on the couch watching some sports show. Jaren was lying with his head on Mary's thigh and Mary had her feet resting on the coffee table.
CJ deliberately walked over and stood in front of the TV blocking Jaren's view. Jaren said nothing merely waved one arm back and forth trying to get CJ to move.
"Now if this isn't a Kodak moment." CJ surveyed the two. "How can I get in on the cuddling action?"
"Don't you even dare." Jaren pointed warningly at his brother.
"What if I…" CJ circled around the coffee table towards Jaren. Jaren stuck his foot out to push CJ away, but was too slow CJ plopped down on Jaren. Struggling Jaren tried to get out from under CJ, but CJ had him pined.
"Come on bro where's the lovin'?" CJ questioned giving Jaren a kiss on the forehead, causing Jaren to struggle even more. Finally Jaren was able to free a leg and knee CJ in the side. "Ow! No need to be getin' violent." CJ rubbed his ribs. "I'll just get the lovin' from this side of the couch."
Jaren mumbled something unintelligible and readjusted himself, while CJ plopped down next to Mary. CJ slid one arm around Mary's shoulder and tried to slide the other around her waist, but Jaren flung it away. This continued for a few minutes before Jaren finally grabbed CJ's wrist and gave him a nasty Indian burn, causing CJ to reach behind Mary and smack Jaren up side the head.
"Alright enough you two, you're damaging my delicate skin." Mary intervened. "I swear you guys are worse than a couple of kids."
CJ and Jaren both snorted in disbelief but stopped, for the moment anyway. Seeing the smirk on CJ's face Mary shook her head and grinned back.
"Take it easy on him he just woke up." Mary told CJ.
"Yeah I know." An evil grin spread across CJ's face.
"You shouldn't mess with him when he's just woken up."
"I know." CJ's grin grew bigger.
"Hey still in the room here people." Jaren reminded them.
Mary started messaging Jaren's neck in order to distract him. Jaren moaned and shifted his head to give Mary easier access to his neck. CJ just shook his head.
"So you guys don't have any plans for today?" CJ asked.
"Nope, not until the ceremony tonight." Mary answered.
"Good then you won't mind watching Juno for me." CJ gave Mary a kiss on the cheek.
Jaren heaved a heavy sigh. "Juno did your dad just kiss Mary?"
"Yup." Juno replied. "And it was all slobbery and stuff too."
Mary was about to speak up when she felt Jaren heave another heavy sigh. Knowing what was coming next Mary bolted form the couch. Before she'd even cleared the couch CJ and Jaren had each other in headlocks dragging each other into the middle of the room.
It wasn't long before CJ got the upper hand and started trying to get Jaren to say uncle, but Jaren, red faced and laughing, refused to give in.
"Geeze Jaren you're so possessive." CJ huffed, struggling to hold Jaren down. "Could it be you're threatened by a better looking man?"
"Me threatened by an old grandpa like you? Not a chance."
Knowing full well that, that comment wouldn't go over well Mary briefly closed her eyes. Opening them again she saw CJ grinding one side of Jaren's face into the carpet and had both of Jaren's arms pined behind his back.
"Now Jaren do you really want to show up tonight with carpet burns all over your face?" CJ asked. "What will people think?"
"That I had a really great weekend? …… Ow, ow, ok, ok you win."
"Winner and still champ!" CJ let Jaren go and moved to sit back on the couch, but not before Jaren reached over and punched him, hard, on the arm. Then pulled a laughing Juno in front of him as a human shield.
"Damn, I swear I'm getting more beat off duty then on, these days." CJ complained. "Thanks for watching Juno though I appreciate it."
"No problem." Jaren scooped Juno up and whirled him around. "We'll see you around 5:30."
