"Morning honey." A chirpy Karen exclaimed as she marched into Grace Adler Designs.
"Karen it 2:30, what planet do you live on?"
"A planet where denim doesn't come in suit form, what's this what's happening, what's going on with this outfit honey?" She rudely pointed her finger at Grace's Denim suit with matching waistcoat. "Honey this is just so wrong, please burn it."
"Glad you like Kare, I wore it especially for you" the sarcasm in Grace's voice was clearly evident as she watched her assistant and friend get out her new copy of vogue.
"Karen, have you seen or spoken to jack today?" A devious look spread across Grace's face as she contemplated sharing the gossip of the morning's antics with Karen.
"No honey, he didn't answer when I rang him this morning, poodle must have had a busy night last night."
"Well I don't know about that Kare, but he sure had a busy morning."
That got Karen's attention, "What do you mean by that honey, what happen, is my poodle ok?"
Grace frowned, Karen actually looked worried, but Karen never worried, she never cared about anything Grace thought to herself, not noticing that Karen had walked over to her desk and was now right in front of her wanting answers.
"Well honey, what happen to my Jackie?"
"First thing this morning, Will and I were eating breakfast…."
"Skip the boring part where you and Wilma play house." Karen interrupted.
"As I was saying we were eating breakfast when jack bounced through the door and announced he's bisexual!"
"What, but Jackie's gayer than Christmas."
"I know, but Karen he was deadly serious, said he'd been thinking about it for a long time and that he was open to happiness even if it came in the shape of a woman, it really freaked me out cause it didn't sound like Jack."
"Oh honey this is Jack we're talking about this whole bisexual thing will last 5 minuets, its like me saying I'm going to have just coffee without the Baileys for breakfast, an insane thought that would never be put into action, besides he hasn't mentioned anything to me and my poodle tells me everything."
"Well he didn't tell you this and Karen he was serious, he got into a huge row with Will over it."
"What? Wilma shouted at my Jackie, well wait until I see him, no one messes with my poodle."
Again Grace looked confused at the defence Karen was giving Jack, she was showing feelings, and at this moment Grace believed Karen would really have a go at Will. Feeling she best leave the subject alone she started back on her work, hoping Karen would calm down and not ask any questions.
"Grace, what did they argue about."?
"Um, well, I, they…" She stumbled over her words in a panic, trying to think of a decent lie.
"Stop thinking up a lie honey, I can always tell, for gods sake Grace I can tell when you've had sex, so tell me truth."
"Well…."
"Grace!"
"Ok, Will got mad because at first he thought Jack was messing around, then he got mad cause Jack was being serious, then they started shouting at each other and Will asked Jack to give an example of any woman he found attractive, Jack shouted no, Will shouted pick one, they did this back and forth and then Jack shouted fine…" Grace had said all this without a breath and stopped, as she was about to announce the final part, annoying Karen immensely.
"Well, honey, who did the little queen pick, Cher, Liza, ew no, she's well past her sell by date, she should have frozen her face at the cabaret years, come on honey who'd he pick?"
"You"
"What"
"He said you kare, Will completely freaked out and Jack left I haven't seen him since, I shouldn't have told you, don't make fun of him over this Karen, Will has hurt him enough for one day."
Karen just sat looking blank. "Why did Will freak out?"
Grace started to look worried; this whole thing was getting out of hand.
"Karen, I don't know."
"Yes you do, you know that vindictive little queen better than anyone, he's your husband for god sake, why did he freak out when Jackie said me?"
"Honestly, Karen I don't know."
"Well, does he think Jacks lying, or does he not understand why Jack would find me attractive, you tell me Grace, he's always hated me, from day one, what, is he afraid I'd take Jack away from him? Come on Grace tell me." Karen was getting upset over this she herself didn't even know why, so Grace was really freaked out.
"Karen, Will doesn't hate you, I really don't know what his problem is with Jack and his latest phase, maybe because Jack pushed Will to come out, he feels betrayed by this."
"Or threatened" Karen muttered under her breath so Grace couldn't hear.
"What was that Kare?"
"Nothing honey, I'm going to find Jackie."
"Karen please don't do anything stupid, he's hurt at the moment and from the sounds of it really confused, and don't blame Will, he just gets frustrated with jack sometimes."
"Well you tell him from me, if he wants to pick a fight with my poodle, he'll have to pick a fight with me to." With that she marched out the door, leaving a confused Grace in a slight panic in her wake.
