Ch. 8. - Major Changes
Saturday came fast. Monk finally summed up the courage to wear something other then his suit for the day. He slipped on a new t-shirt Sharona had bought him and he even wore a baseball cap. Hard to believe I know. He stared at himself in the mirror, very uncomfortable with his new look. But it was for Sharona so he kept it on. He locked the door on his way out. He arrived at the Flemings at 9:00 am sharp. He stormed in the door.
"Benjy, are you ready to RUMBLE!!" Monk shouted flexing his muscles.
Benjy looked up at him. He ran over to where Sharona was standing and hid behind her, pretending to be scared of him. Monk put his arms down.
"I mean, Benjy you ready to go?"
"Yea, I'll go get my map," Benjy said running to his room
"I like your new look," Sharona said walking over to him
"It took me a while but.." Monk said leaning down to kiss her
"mmm.I like where that comes from," Sharona said slowly opening her eyes
"Eh-hem," Benjy said standing behind his mom. Sharona and Monk quickly took a few steps back.
"Benjy, I think it's time to go now, you be good for Adrian, I love you," she said kissing him on the head, "Have fun you two," she said quickly kissing Monk
"We will mom"
The two left and soon entered the hunt. They got set up at the starting line.
"On your marks, get set, HUNT!" The man over the loud speaker said.
Benjy and Monk read their first clue. They headed off in the direction of it.
"So, you really like my mom huh," Benjy asked while looking around for a clue.
"Yea, she's a great woman," Monk said with a smile, also looking for the next clue.
"Good, cuz I have to make sure you take good care of her.I am the man of the house," Benjy said in a very..macho man sort or way. Monk chuckled and screamed, "I found the next clue!"
It was Monday. Sharona had had another boring day at work. Her and Benjy were eatomg dinner. Well at least one of them was.
"Benjy, what's wrong? You've hardly touched your food and you seem like you have a lot on your mind," Sharona commented while eating a carrot.
"What?" Benjy asked coming out of a daze
"Uh oh, I know that stare..and your not eating you dinner..you've got the love bug!"
"The what," Benjy stated
"So who's the girl?" Sharona asked cautiously
"What?" Benjy said carelessly
"C'mon who is she?" Sharona pushed
"Ok, her name's Melissa"
"Oh, Melissa" Sharona smiled also
"She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen," Benjy said dreamily
"Benjy, is there more?"
"What?"
"There is more," Sharona sighed hoping it would be good news
"Ok.I kinda.kissed her," Benjy said while his face decided to turn cherry red
"On purpose!" Sharona said nearly spitting out her food
"Yea"
"You kissed a girl on purpose?"
"Mmm.yea," he said sort of confused. His mom kissed Mr. Monk all the time
"Well, did you like it?" She said not knowing what to say
"I didn't hate it" He said with a wide smile
"Oh God," Sharona muttered
"What?" By now Benjy was very confused
"Benjy, honey. when two people love each other.," She started
"Oh, is this the birds and bees talk?" Benjy said with a sigh
"Yes, now sit and listen to me. These are the most important words in your life," Sharona finished. Benjy sighed and sat back down in his chair. He listened closely as his mom told him about.stuff.
Sharona finished her speech. Benjy then told her Melissa was coming over to study. When she did the two kids went up to Benjy's room to study. At around 8:00 Sharona went to check on them and to her surprise she found them making out.
"Benjy, what the hell do you think you're doing?" Sharona screamed, breaking up the two.
"Mom, we were just."
"Making out," she finished for him
"I think I should go," Melissa said gathering her stuff.
"Yea, you better, Melissa how old are you?" Sharona questioned
"14"
"14? Benjy's 12, did ya know that?"
"Yea," she replied
"And that didn't stop you?" Sharona was now furious, "Just leave!"
"Bye Benjy," She whispered and headed out the door.
"MOM! Why did you do that!" Benjy cried
"Because! Because you're 12 and you shouldn't have a girl in your room let alone be making out with her!" Sharona said, calming down a little
"I'm sorry mom," he apologized
"I know you are, but next time.actually study will ya?" Sharona smiled and kissed Benjy on his head.
"Night," He replied.
Sharona headed downstairs and grabbed the phone.
"Hello?" A voice said on the other line
"Hey you," Sharona whispered
"Oh hello, what's up?" Monk asked
"What's up? Those are two words I though would never hear coming from your mouth," she said giggling
"Very funny"
"I just called to say hi, I miss you"
"You saw me Saturday," Monks said
"I know," Sharona answered, "Guess what! I found out Benjy had kissed a girl so I gave him 'the talk' and then later I find him making out with a 14 year old girl"
"Benjy?"
"Yep, little Benjy," Sharona smiled
"Oh well.I don't know what to say," Monk said
"Just say you love me and you think I'm the most beautiful person in the world"
"Ok, I love you and you're the most beautiful person in the world, besides Cheir," Monk laughed
"Cheir?!"
"Just a joke," Monk said worried that she would not know that
"And a very lame one, bye crazy man," She said and hung up.
