Chapter 13: Night On The Couch

Sarah and Lorraine walk off and Elliot catches up to them.

"Where's Vinny?" Lorraine asked him.

"I don't know. The last time I saw him he was holding his gut on the ground." Elliot told them.

"I hit him with my purse but, not in the stomach." Lorraine told him.

"I punched him in the stomach. Do you know that yourhusband has a hard stomach it felt like I hit a brickwall." Elliot told her.

"He has to have an iron cast stomach with all the hot stuff he eats." Lorraine told him.

"Can you leave me and Sarah alone?" Elliot asked her.

"I'll go see if Vinny's all right." Lorraine told them as she walked away.

"Look Sarah, I'm sorry that Andrew called you a bimbo." Elliot apologized to her.

"It's all right." Sarah said to him.

"No, it's not. He was out of line and rude." Elliot explained.

"He talked to Vinny what do you expect?" Sarah then asked him.

"He still shouldn't of said that to you. I'll talk to him when we get home tonight." Elliot said to her.

"I know why he hates me." Sarah told him.

"He doesn't hate you." Elliot told her.

"Elliot you and your wife divorced two months ago. Andrew thinks that I'm going to replace Heather." Sarah explained to him.

"He doesn't think that." Elliot replied.

"That's the impression I got when he talked to me." Sarah then told him.

"He's just upset that I didn't ask him before we started to go out." Elliot explained.

"Talk to him and work this out. And if he doesn't fell like you should date me then we won't date." Sarah explained to him.

"But, Sarah." Elliot said to her.

"Elliot it's been nice going out with you again." Sarah told him.

She kisses him on the cheek and walks away.

Everyone meets up and goes back to the cabins.

"What happened to you?" Brian asked Vinny.

"Your mother beat me up again." Vinny told him with a laugh.

"That sucks." Brian replied.

"I know. I'm a black belt in Karate. I should be able to take her." Vinny explained.

It's silent on the rest of the car ride home.

When Vinny arrives at his cabin. Mike is taking Matt out of his Z and is carrying him into the cabin.

"Mike, I got it." Vinny said to him.

"Vinny, let me do it." Mike told him.

"Mike, seriously I got it." Vinny told him again.

"What you don't trust me anymore?" Mike asked him.

"I trust you." Vinny replied.

"Then let me put Matt to bed and give you and Lorraine some time alone." Mike told him as he went into the cabin to put Matt to bed.

"Great. Time alone with Lorraine who's mad at me." Vinny said sarcastically to himself.

Vinny walks into the cabin.

"Sarah just called me." Lorraine told him.

"What did she blame me for now?" Vinny asked her.

"She broke up with Elliot because of Andrew." Lorraine told him.

"She didn't blame me for that?" Vinny then asked her.

"She did but, she mostly said that she didn't feel like Andrew wanted them to go out." Lorraine explained to him.

"I really hope it works out between her and Elliot." Vinny said to her.

"Well, thanks to you talking to Andrew they aren't going out anymore." Lorraine told him.

"I was joking. Andrew left before I could tell him I was joking." Vinny explained.

"I don't care. And for your part in this thing you're sleeping on the couch tonight." Lorraine told him as she went upstairs.

"You can't be serious?" Vinny asked her.

"Follow me upstairs and walk into our room and see how serious I am." Lorraine warned him.

"You're lucky that I'm tired and don't feel like going upstairs." Vinny told her.

"Sure you are." Lorraine told him.

Vinny goes to sleep on the couch.
