"Rosario, get yourself over to Jacks and bring me some new clothes, pronto senorita, hola." With that Karen hung up turning at a smiling Jack.

"What is it honey?" she questioned

"Oh nothing I just think you look good in just my shirt."

She flirtatiously walked towards him wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Now Jackie, I can't wear this to work now, can I? Although the look is growing on me. But turning up to work with yesterdays clothes on, no make up and without perfect hair would just give Grace ammunition, I've got a reputation to keep up." She smiled playfully as she played with his hair.

"Karen I think you look amazing without your make up, and you know I like your hair down."

"Really poodle?"

"Yes, I've told you that before haven't I?"

Karen shook her head in reply.

"Well I'm telling you now." He pulled her closer to him breathing in her sent as they hugged. "Thanks for sticking up for me with Will."

"Ah Wilma" she snarled angrily, pulling out of their embrace "he makes me so mad, all this self righteousness', I'm your lawyer Karen, stop drinking Karen, you're a horrible person Karen. It just gets boring after a while, and now he's messing with you. I'll put up with his crap most of the time cause I can give as good back to him, but nobody upsets my poodle or my Gracie."

"Ah, Karen that's so sweet, I love it when you show emotion."

"I know isn't it great I could give Merel Streep a run for her money, still got to work on the tears." She laughed turning the conversation into a joke. But Jack Knew her better than that, he knew that Grace and himself and possibly Rosario were the most important people in Karen's life, no matter how much she joked, she even cared for Will in her own way. He smiled as he watched her, feeling happy inside whenever she was near.

"Jack" she question as she watched him starring at her "Jack!"

He jumped out of his trance, "what were you thinking about"

"Oh nothing" he muttered trying to cover his blushes.

"Ok then honey, I'm going to jump in the shower. Care to join me?" she nudged him suggestively.

"Um, no, no not right now, going to grab some breakfast first." He stammered uncomfortably

"Fine suit yourself. When Ro ro gets here tell her to make me up my usual." She kissed him on the lips and swayed off into the bathroom singing it's not unusual as she did.

Jack followed her form, "oh my god" he thought to himself, as he poured cold water over his head, "You need to get a grip on yourself Jack, it's Karen just Karen."

About 20 minuets later Karen emerged dripping wet, wrapped in a towel. "Hasn't that good for nothing, uses less, cotton mixed blend wearing maid of mine got here yet?" Jack didn't answer her just starred at the vision in front of him, her hair flat to her head dripping over his floor.

"Jack, what is wrong with you this morning if that Wilma is getting to you just put it out of your mind and forget him."

Fidgeting in embarrassment at being caught starring again, he got up and moved towards the bathroom.

"Yeh, I'll try forget about it, going to get a shower, I'm sure Rosario will be here any second." Then he closed the door taking a deep breath leaving Karen standing in the living room, slightly confused.

"This is going to be a long day." He thought to himself.

A few hours later Karen breezed into Grace Adler Designs. "Morning honey."

"Afternoon" Grace replied not even looking up from her work. Karen just started on her normal workday routine, drink, pills, nails, and vogue. A good hour past before Grace put down her work in frustration and collapsed on the chair near Karen's desk. "Ah, I hate this job, I hate the client, she so fussy, 'no not red, rouge, the French say it better.'" She imitated the posh voice her latest client used.

"Oh honey…… I don't care." Karen whined.

Grace rolled her eyes and changed the subject. "It's crazy what's going on between Will and Jack."

"Don't mention that bitches name to me, hateful queen." Karen snapped.

"Oh come on Karen, you know Will doesn't mean to upset Jack and he doesn't hate you, all this has just freaked him out, and having you appear from the bedroom half dressed didn't leave much to the imagination."

"What you talking about honey, I often stay over at Jack's why would this time be any different?"

"Karen, look at this from Will's perspective, Jack announces he's Bi, he then announces that he finds you attractive, and then you appear from the bedroom in Jack shirt, how do you think it looks?"

"Oh for god sake, When did we all suddenly become twelve years old, this is crazy, that miserable Mary needs to get a life, instead of attacking jack and I every chance he gets."

"Karen calm…"

"No, this is really starting to annoy me, I'm going to Barney's need to charge a little happy, see you later Grace, what am I saying, I'm not coming back."

She grabbed her bag and marched out of the office. Jack was on his way up the stairs when he saw Karen leaving he dived into one of the other offices causing everyone to stare, but he didn't care he just hoped Karen hadn't seen him. Once the coast was clear he apologised for interrupting them and headed for Grace's office, he needed to talk to someone, normally he would go to will, but under the circumstances and given the problem he was having he sort out Grace.

"Hi G" he announced on entering.

"Hey, Jack how are you? Karen just left, she's gone to Barneys, if you run you should catch her."

"No, actually Grace I wanted to talk to you."

"Sure Jack what's wrong?"

"Well ever since I brought the whole bisexual topic up, I've started to have these feelings." He looked down at the floor embarrassed.

"What feelings? Jack what going on?"

"It's Karen."

"What about Karen?"

Jack just starred at her waiting for her to catch on. "Oh!" she stated rather too loudly.

"Grace, I don't know what to do, I feel weird when ever I'm around her, she started getting changed last night and I had to leave the room, and not because I was disgusted." He bit his finger in an attempt to show how scared and serious he was being. "Grace I think I'm falling in love with her."

"Wow" was the only word Grace could manage

"Grace say something."

"Wow" she repeated.

"Grace."

"Oh, ok, ok lets see, do you think about her all the time?"

"Yes"

"Do you miss her when she's not there?"

"Yes"

"Does your heart skip a beat when she looks at you, or touches you?"

"Yes"

"Do you want to have sex with her?"

"God yes" he replied rather to eagerly

"Oh my god Jack, you are falling for her."

"But Grace what do I do, she's my best friend, she's a woman, do you have any idea how much is wrong with that sentence."

"Jack calm down, you have two options, you either tell her how you're feeling, or you let this go and try and move on from it."

"Grace, I no it's easier for you women to hide the fact that you have feelings for someone, but with the closeness Karen and I have, lets just say its standing to attention a little to often and its highly embarrassing."

Jack turned bright red as Grace blushed and smiled. "Jack you need to tell her."

"I can't you know Karen she doesn't do feelings, and what will, Will think, this is just a nightmare, I should have kept my feelings to myself and dated countless other losers."

Grace put her arm around Jacks shoulder, "You've grown up Jack, and you've found out what you truly want, don't let Will's insecurities, or Karen's weird ways get in the way, tell her how you feel, and remember I'm here for you if anything goes wrong.

"Thanks G" he muttered as he pulled her into a hug. "You'll keep this to yourself right?"

"Hags honour" she laughed "but promise me you'll call me whatever happens."

"Promise" With that he left.

'How things are changing' Grace thought to herself.
