Me: And now part 2 of the step-sibling/lovers quarrel thing!
Atrus: I'm back LETS DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!
Raven: Let's go let's go!
"WHAT IN GOD'S NAME DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?" Roger roared.
"Dad, this isn't what it looks…"
"Oh Right like you just waltzed up here to sit and chat about the moon!"
"Roger calm down, let's act like the adults here" Mark said trying to calm him down.
"Dad I didn't do what you think I did!"
"So you two just came up here and unbuttoned your shirt and untied your dress, then just climbed onto the bed for kicks?"
"¡Buen papá del dios! ¡No hice cualquier cosa es qué clase de muchacha usted me piensa!" Ria said with angry tears rolling down her face
"¡No sé pero mi hija no actúa como una puta!" Roger repeated
Ryan and Mark sat there dumbfounded, "What did they just say?" Mark asked
Ria couldn't believe what her dad just said and ran out the door, as Jason came in.
"Can someone tell me why you all are in my room?"
"Long story but this is a family matter so…"
"Oh…I get it now. I'll go" Jason said with a hint of attitude
"He didn't have to be so blunt, I know I'm not a part of their cute little circle but at least show some decency!" he thought.
Mark got up, "I'm gonna go talk to her, maybe then we can act like civilized people here. Why don't you try to talk with Ryan unless you wanna yell some Spanish gibberish at him too."
Ryan looked over at Roger, "Where did you learn to yell in Spanish?"
"When you have a Puerto Rican wife for 15 years you pick these things up!" he laughed. "But seriously why are you acting this way?"
"I don't know ever since the wedding, Ria's been kind of strange around me. She wont let me touch her or kiss her very much, or…."
"Hey that's my little chica you're talking about"
"Sorry, but I don't what to do. She keeps talking about how we can't be together because we made that pledge and all."
Roger put his arm around Ryan, "It's okay man, she gets that from her mom and Angel. When they got mad or worried they wouldn't say why and hid. She'll come around but in the meantime just give her some space."
"I guess so, say was this how it was with you and Dad?"
Roger sighed, "Ryan that was so hard to describe. We knew that we weren't gay…after all we both had been married and had kids. But I guess we just felt some type of connection that had always been there. He knew exactly how I felt when Mimi died, he helped me through withdrawal back when I was 22, and put up with all my rage attacks and temper flares. But we decided we weren't gonna label ourselves, we knew how we felt and that's all there was to it."
"So you think we'll be alright?"
"If you're meant to be together, you will"
Little did they know that this was far from over.
Me: BLOCK!
Atrus: Now what?
Raven: Give her ideas!
Me: R&R!
Atrus: I have pancakes!
