Chapter 5

"So when is everyone supposed to get here?" Roger asked while coming out of his room, to find Mark tickling Phoebe.

"Mark stop!" Phoebe giggled, trying to grab the invading hands.

Mark shook his head. "I can't hear you, I can't hear you!"

"Hear this." Roger stated with a sly grin. "Maybe you two should get a room."

Mark's hands stopped when he heard the rocker's voice, "You and Mimi have done way worse on this couch."

Roger shrugged, walking pass the two and into the kitchen. "But that's Mimi and I, it's different when its you two."

Finally catching her breath from being tickled, Phoebe sat up her focus on Roger. "What makes us any different?"

"Mimi and I are a cuter couple." Roger teased.

"I don't know about that." Phoebe said giving Mark a peck on the cheek. "Mark is pretty cute."

Mark smiled at the comment, his lips now coming in contact with Phoebe's. "You are too."

"Okay you two really need to get a room now." Roger stated, just as Mimi came walking in the door. "Thank God, Mimi I think we need to show these two who the cuter couple is."

Mimi glanced at a kissing Mark and Phoebe, a small smirk hitting her face, before she wrapped her arms around Roger's neck, bringing him into a kiss.

A couple minutes later, Angel, Collins, Joanne, and Maureen all entered the loft.

"Ooo Make out session, lets join!" Angel grinned, while wrapping her arms around Collins.

Collins didn't fight it, when Angel's lips connected with his own.

"I thought we came here to eat, not to eat each other's faces." Joanne stated.

"Way to make it sound romantic Jo." Roger said after pulling away from Mimi.

"I try." The lawyer smiled.

Everyone exchanged hugs, but when it was time for Maureen to hug Phoebe, she simply blew her off, and headed for the living room where everyone was starting to gather.

"You know what I love?" Roger asked.

"Do we care?" Maureen shot out.

Joanne took hold of Maureen's hand, her way of calming her down a bit. The lawyer didn't know why, but ever since yesterday, Maureen had been overly bitchy, and moody.

"Anyways." Roger shot her a glare. "I love how we don't pay Benny the rent, but we do pay for food to have a get together."

"That's different." Collins began. "It's food we are paying for, a food is a must."

"Plus spending time with each other adds a bonus." Angel smiled.

"Depending on who it's with." Maureen muttered.

"What's that sweetie?" Angel asked the mumbling Maureen.

Maureen placed a fake smile on her face. "Nothing, so when is dinner?"

Once dinner was prepared, everyone sat around a big table eating. Maureen had her eyes on Mark and Phoebe the whole entire time, watching as they would kiss each other every now and then, the sight of it making her feel something weird inside.

"Honeybear?" Joanne whispered into Maureen's ear, when she noticed a displeased look was plastered on the diva's face. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Maureen said her gaze now falling on Joanne. "Nothing at all."

"You look a little out of it." Joanne said. "Are you feeling alright?"

"Just fine." Maureen answered.

After dinner was done, everyone helped clean up. When Maureen noticed Phoebe was alone in the kitchen, she smiled to herself, and waltzed over to have a chat with her.

"Hey Pheebs." Maureen said with a bright smile.

"Hey Mo." Phoebe smiled back.

Maureen leaned against the counter, her eyes watching as Phoebe dried some dishes. "So…you and Mark eh?"

Phoebe nodded. "Yup, I do love him."

Maureen's face fell a bit, her eyes then landed on Phoebe's. "Is he still paying attention to you?"

Phoebe put the last dish away, her attention totally on Maureen now. "What are you talking about?"

"Well you do know I dated him right?" Maureen asked. "We had a pretty good relationship in the past."

"Yes I know." Phoebe said.

"It was a pretty good relationship, until after about a year." Maureen stated. "Isn't that how long you two have been dating for?"

"Just about." Phoebe answered. "Maureen where are you going with this?"

"I just wanted to warn you, I mean sure Mark is a great guy, and a great boyfriend. But once he feels like he is set with you, and has you, he will cut down on all the kisses, cuddle less, and before you know it, you are fighting for his attention. Do you know who will win the fight in the end?"

Phoebe shook her head.

"His precious little camera." Maureen answered. "Marky loves it, he can't live with out it."

"Is that why you cheated on him?" Phoebe asked a bit harshly. "Because you couldn't stand the fact that you weren't getting attention every second of the day?"

Maureen's stomach fell at the question, she hated when people brought that up. She froze for a second a little shocked that Phoebe had the guts to talk to her like that, but the diva took in a deep breath and let it out. "You weren't friends with us in the past, you have no right to bring that up."

"But you have a right to cheat on Mark?" Phoebe asked feeling like she had to defend her boyfriend.

"I'm just trying warn you." Maureen said. "Mark isn't the greatest guy everyone makes him out to be. Don't be surprised when your relationship falls to shit in about another couple of months."

With Maureen getting in her last word, she stormed into the living room, taking a seat on the couch.

Phoebe stood in the kitchen for a while; finally she headed out, quickly going to the bathroom.

"Is she okay?" Angel asked Maureen when she saw Phoebe walk into the bathroom with an upset look on her face.

"How the fuck should I know?" Maureen asked. "Mark is her fucking boyfriend, ask him."

"Maureen!" Joanne scolded. "Angel just asked you a simple question."

"Whatever." Maureen said while standing up. "I don't feel good, I'm going home."

"Uh Mo maybe you should apologize to Angel first." Collins said a little bit upset, that his best friend was rude to his lover.

Maureen however didn't say another word, as she opened the loft door and slammed it behind her.

"Okay…" Mimi said after a moment of silence. "Did we miss something?"

Joanne slowly stood up, heading for the door. "Sorry about that you guys. I'm going to go calm her down. Angel you can expect a call from her tomorrow morning, she had no right to talk to you like that."

"It's okay chica, I know she didn't mean it." Angel said with a smile.

"Mark you better check on your girlfriend, Maureen was alone with her in the kitchen." Roger began. "And if she flipped out on Angel, who knows what she said to Phoebe."

Mark was on high alert after that, quickly heading for the bathroom. "Phoebe?" He knocked. "Are you alright?"

There was silence for a few minutes, until the door slowly opened, Mark disappearing inside.
