Chapter 21: The Boyfriend

Mike takes Matt to go get gear for his first rappelling experience. Vinny sees Derek and Katecome downstairs.

"Derek, can we talk?" Vinny asked him.

"I'm still shaking from our last talk." Derek replied.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about." Vinny told him.

"What's up?" Derek asked him as he walked into the kitchen.

"I wanted to apologize for our last talk. I didn't mean to scare you like that." Vinny told him.

"No problem Mr. D." Derek said to him.

"You're a great kid and a hell of a quarterback. And I'm going to leave you and Kate alone for the rest of this vacation." Vinny told him.

"Thanks Mr. D." Derek replied.

"Derek call me Vinny. I've known you since you were six." Vinny told him.

"I prefer calling you Mr. D" Derek said to him.

"Whatever you feel morecomfortable with." Vinny said to him.

"Maybe I'll call you Vinny after we become in laws." Derek said to him with a nervous laugh.

"If Kate does marry someone I hope it's you." Vinny said to him.

"That means alot coming from you Mr. D." Derek told him.

"Go enjoy the rest of this vacation but, don't enjoy yourself too much if you know what I mean." Vinny said to him.

"You can trust me Mr. D." Derek replied.

"I know. I'm just making sure you understand." Vinny told him.

"Completely." Derek told him as he went outside with Kate.

At the Baker cabin, Sarah is trying to get over Elliot.

"He's an asshole." Lorraine told her.

"I know he is but, he's a cute asshole." Sarah replied.

"Sarah he called you a few names that I can'trepeat especially his ex wifes name." Lorraine told her.

"I was nagging him alot about talking to Andrew." Sarah said to her.

"I can't believe you. He dumped you." Lorraine reminded her.

"No, I dumped him." Sarah then corrected Lorraine.

"The thing is you two aren't together anymore." Lorraine said to her.

"I miss him." Sarah said to her.

"Yesterday you wanted to kill him and today you miss him?" Lorraine asked her.

"You and Vinny always fight and you two are still together." Sarah said to her.

"That's because he never called me one of his ex girlfriends name." Lorraine told her.

"What about you?" Sarah then asked Lorraine.

"Okay, I might haved called Vinny one of my old boyfriends name but, only once." Lorraine admitted to her.

"Who did you call him?" Sarah then asked her.

"Daniel my boyfriend before him." Lorraine replied.

"I hated him he was so full of himself and he smelt like raw fish." Sarah said to her.

"I thought it was just me. I knew he smelt like raw fish. I didn't want to hurt his feelings." Lorraine then said to her.

"I'm going to go see Elliot." Sarah told Lorraine.

Just then someone knocks on the door. Sarah answers it.

"Hi." Elliot said as he saw her.

"Hi." Sarah replied.

Sarah invites Elliot inside the cabin.

"Hi Lorraine." Elliot said as he saw her.

"Bye Sarah." Lorraine said as she left completely ignoring Elliot.

"I gather she's still mad at me?" Elliot asked Sarah.

"Alittle bit." Sarah replied.

"I came here to apologize for saying that you were as bad as you know who." Elliot said to Sarah not mentioning his ex wifes name.

"I was nagging you to talk to Andrew." Sarah said to him.

"It was my fault." Elliot said to her.

"No, it was mine." Sarah then told him.

"Sarah, it was my fault." Elliot told her again.

"Elliot, it was my fault." Sarah then said to him again.

"I came here to take the blame so we can go out again." Elliot explained.

"Why would you take the blame when it was my fault?" Sarah then asked him.

"Lets not argue over whose fault it was. Even though it was mine." Elliot replied.

"Fine I agree, it was your fault." Sarah told him.

"But, a second ago you said it was your fault?" Elliot then asked her.

"And you said we shouldn't argue over whose fault it was." Sarah told him.

"That was before you told me it was my fault." Elliot replied.

"You can blame yourself for us breaking up but, I can't blame you?" Sarah asked him getting mad.

"You're right it was my fault. Just don't send Lorraine in here to hit me in the face again." Elliot said to her.

"You tell Andrew that you were coming here to make up with me and to ask me out on anotherdate tonight?" Sarah asked him.

"I didn't tell him about us making up. And I sure as hell didn't tell him about our date tonight because I just found out about this date myself." Elliot told her.

"Tell him before our date tonight. Pick me up at eight. Don't be late." Sarah told him as she hurried him out the door.

"But, I didn't have any ... " Elliot said as Sarah closed the door in his face. " ...say in this." Elliot said as he completed his sentence to a closed door.

Elliot pumps his fist and has a big smile on his face. Elliot gets in his car and dirves back to the Boulders.
