19.
"Louis! What's for breakfast?" Tom called out the next morning.
Louis was still asleep. When Tom started nudging him, he awoke. "Huh?"
"What's for breakfast?"
"Have we got any more pizza left from last night?" Tom shook his head. "Then no," Louis said.
"Well, then I'm going to go get some food for the next few days. May I borrow the car keys?" Tom said holding his hand out.
Louis, back under his covers and probably half-way asleep, reached for the keys on the nightstand and tossed them in the general direction of Tom. He picked them up and was about to go out. But by then Twitty was up and moving. "Hey, Alan, do you wanna come?"
Twitty was sitting at the end of his bed, sitting straight up, and was facing the TV and said, "I don't think so, Tom, I think I'm gonna watch some music videoes or something." Tom chuckled and left. So, Louis kept sleeping, Twitty was watching TV, and Tom returned a couple hours later with some groceries. "Hey, Tom! What took you so long?"
Tom was suppressing a slight smile. "Well, guys, it look me a little while to get all the stuff I needed. Oh, and I was a little side-tracked if you know what I mean."
Twitty crossed his eyebrows. "Tom, what in the world are you talking about?"
"Lets just say I have a little date for tonight."
Suddenly Louis sat up in his bed, "Gee, Tom, I didn't know your mom was here!"
Tom set the groceries on the table. "Hardy Har Har, Louis," Tom said.
Twitty was grinning wide and said very sarcastically, "Aww, Louis, our little Tom is all grown up!" Then Louis crawled out of his bed and he and Twitty surrounded Tom and gave him some friendly jabs.
So, that night the boys got Tom ready for his big date, which actually wasn't his mom, much to the disbelief of Louis and Twitty. They made sure their buddy was dressed and smelling nice for what may have been his first date. Of course, Louis hadn't helped matters too much. Tom was standing over the sink using his mouthwash when Louis came up from behind him. "Hey there Tom, good buddy!" Louis exclaimed, slapping Tom on the back causing him to swallow his mouthwash. "Whoops. Sorry 'bout that, big guy."
Twitty was the main one helping Tom get ready and then later on Louis walked out of the bathroom wearing an ugly red plaid suit with a giant goofy flower on his coat pocket. Twitty and Tom both froze and stared. "What?!" Louis asked innocently.
"Louis, what are you doing?"
"Do you actually think that we're going to let you go on your first date and not take at least me along?!" Louis insisted.
Tom and Twitty turned their eyebrows up and Twitty put his hand on Louis' shoulder and said, "Lou, you're my best friend and you know I'd do anything for you," he began. "But for the sake of humanity, I can't let you go out like that." They all laughed and they pushed Tom out the door for his date.
So, Tom went out on his date that night and the boys watched movies on TV and Louis remained in his ugly plaid suit.
Meanwhile, back in Sacramento, Corey was on the phone with one of his pals as a devious plot was about to be devised. "Hey, Chuck, it's Corey."
"'Sup man."
"I'm trying to figure out how to do it."
"What are you talking about? Do what?"
"You know. Get the Dean chick into the sack. I've been trying for months. The opportunity keeps coming up to do so, but things keep popping up. I mean, this one's taken longer than usual."
"Listen, Corey, I know your abilities. You'll get her. You just have to wait for the right time. You've nailed lots of chicks before. I have full faith in you."
"Thanks, Chuck. Say, what about next week?"
"What about next week?"
"Lets have a big party. Booze, smokes, we'll have it all."
"Sounds good."
"Well, I gotta go. We've got some plans to make," Corey said. "Bye."
A/N: OK, things might get a little steamier than they have been. Hope everyone will be alright with this. I promise it won't be bad! I'll try to keep this as PG as I can. Just a note of warning. So long for now.
