Chapter 6

"Maureen!" Mark shouted while he pounded on the door.

"Make him go away!" Maureen mumbled in her sleep, her body still relaxed after Joanne's hour long massage.

Joanne detangled herself from Maureen, and quickly made her way to the door to let the filmmaker in.

"Where's Maureen?" Mark asked in a hurry.

"Bedroom." Joanne answered, not getting anytime to stop him.

"Maureen!" Mark called out again.

Maureen groaned and buried her head under a pillow. "I thought pookie got rid of you."

"I'm here to give you your present." Mark stated.

Maureen sat up in bed. "Present! Well why didn't you say so!"

Mark smile and turned the TV on, putting on the news, Joanne now entering the room to join the two.

"What's going on?" Joanne asked.

"Mark is giving me my present." Maureen answered, her attention going back to Mark. "So where is it?"

"Just watch…"Mark said while he pointed to the TV.

Maureen frowned, and watched the TV, pulling Joanne down in the process so she had something to snuggle. "It's Buzz Line."

Mark nodded. "I know, keep watching…"

Mark turned the volume up as the show came to an end, his face now turning towards Maureen to watch her face light up, while the news anchor announced a certain birthday. "And everyone here at Buzz Line would like to wish Maureen Johnson a happy birthday" as they said this, a picture of Maureen covered the screen, a snap shot of her from her Over The Moon protest. "So if you see this fine young lady, don't forget to wish her a happy birthday…"

"Mark!" Maureen squealed with delight. "I can't believe I was mentioned on the news! A show that millions of people watch! This is just like when you got my protest on TV! Thank you!"

Mark smiled and pulled her into a hug. "No problem…once I told them the story, they didn't argue at all. Oh and one more thing…" he said while reaching into his bag, pulling out a movie and handing it to her. "I made this for you. I put together a whole bunch of movie clips of you, and made you your own little movie."

Maureen took the movie, and then pulled Mark into another hug. "Thank you so much, you're off my list!"

Joanne gawked, while Mark beamed with delight. "Thanks Maureen! Happy birthday again! Okay I'm going to get going now, see you two tonight."

"See yeah!" Maureen chirped her eyes then beamed over to Joanne. "Can we watch it before we get ready?"

Joanne rolled her eyes while taking the movie from her hands. "Sure…"

Joanne stuck the movie in the VCR and then joined Maureen on the bed. Maureen quickly nestled in between Joanne's legs, snuggling as close as she could. Joanne smiled, she was still mad that she wasn't off the list, but she was enjoying all the closeness.

Later that night, Maureen and Joanne walked hand in hand on their way to the Life, Maureen excitedly swinging their hands together.

"I can't wait to see what they planned!" Maureen said while she twirled under Joanne's arm, stealing a kiss when she was close enough.

"I'm a little excited too." Joanne replied with a small smirk.

When they arrived at The Life Café, they were greeted with hugs, and kisses, and then Mimi quickly pulled Maureen away from Joanne, and pushed her into a chair.

"My turn to be scratched off the list!" Mimi beamed, while she handed a gift bag to Maureen.

"Ooo, I'm excited!" Maureen said as she ripped some tissue paper away.

"This is something you and Joanne can both enjoy." Mimi said, while winking towards the lawyer.

Maureen's face lit up as she pulled out a pair of handcuffs, her face brightening up as she reached in and pulled out, a blind fold, and whipped cream.

"Kinky…" Maureen smirked and then eyed Joanne. "We are using these tonight!"

"That's not the only thing I have for you." Mimi said with a mischievous smile.

"It's not?" Maureen asked with excitement.

Mimi shook her head as she turned up the music, and then straddled Maureen. "I'm giving your very own happy birthday Cat Scratch lap dance."

Maureen couldn't help but grin. "You are forgiven!"

"Damn it!" Collins and Joanne both shouted at the same time, the two of them the last ones on the list.

"You know…you think I'd be jealous that my girlfriend is giving Maureen a lap dance right now…but I have to say, I'm extremely turned on right now…" Roger stated, his eyes watching the show before him.

"Tell me about it…" Mark said while his camera filmed the action.

Joanne sighed. "Today sucks…"

"Have a drink chica, it will get better." Angel said, while offering the irritated lawyer a shot.
