Chapter 7
"Maureen!" Joanne called out with anger, storming towards their master bedroom.
"Go away!" Maureen shouted. "I don't want to talk to anyone!"
Joanne however was to mad to listen to her girlfriend's wishes, and opened the bedroom door to find Maureen lying on the bed with a pillow over her face.
Joanne roughly pulled the pillow from Maureen. "Why are you acting like this?"
Maureen didn't answer rolling over on her side, her back now facing Joanne.
Joanne rolled her eyes, "Come on Maureen, you had no right to talk to Angel like that. Mimi also called they are all coming over. Mark and Angel are pretty upset with you, what did you say to Phoebe?"
"Everything she needed to know." Maureen answered bitterly.
"Well you're going to apologize to Angel and Phoebe." Joanne ordered.
"You're not my mother." Maureen shot out.
Joanne took a deep breath, she was about to yell at her stubborn girlfriend, but there was a knock on the door, so she quickly left the room to go answer it.
"Hi guys." Joanne said while opening the door for the others to walk in.
"Hey Jo!" Roger said heading right into the living room, talking a seat in front of the huge TV.
Mimi giggled while shaking her head, joining her boyfriend on the couch.
"Where's Mo?" Mark asked while looking around.
Joanne sighed. "In the bedroom, she's pretty moody right now."
"Its okay, we'll go talk to her." Angel said while heading for the bedroom.
Joanne eyed Collins as the three disappeared in the master bedroom. "You think she'll talk?"
Collins shrugged. "It'll take some time, you know how Maureen gets."
"Maureen?" Angel called out while walking into the room.
Maureen sighed over dramatically. "Leave!"
"Not before you say sorry." Mark said, his hand attaching to Phoebe's.
"For what, I didn't do anything wrong." Maureen said.
"You made my sister cry." Angel answered.
Maureen sat up in bed, her back resting against the headboard, her eyes now focusing on the three in front of her.
"The only person I'm going to apologize to is Angel." Maureen then look towards Angel with a sincere look. "Angel I'm sorry I was so rude to you, I was in a bitchy mood, and I took it out on someone who didn't deserve it."
Phoebe eyed the diva. "And I deserved it?"
Maureen just shrugged.
"I accept your apology but I don't forgive you." Angel replied. "I'll only forgive you, after you apologize to my sister."
"Why, it's not my fault she's a pussy, all I did was tell her the truth, and she started crying." Maureen harshly said.
"Maureen!" Mark shouted, pissed off she would say something like that in front of Phoebe.
Joanne ran in at the shout of her girlfriend's name, making sure everything was all right. "What's going on?"
"Nothing. I did what you wanted pookie, I said sorry to Angel, now make everyone leave." Maureen answered.
"She said sorry to Angel, but she made things worse between us." Phoebe answered with anger in her voice.
"You'll get over it." Maureen said, her body now shrinking into the bed and under the covers.
"Maureen I will not have you talk to my sister like that." Angel said while rushing towards the bed. "Stop being so bitchy, and tell us what the hell is going on with you."
"I don't want to talk about it." Maureen said. "So leave!"
"Okay Chica, if that's what you want…" Angel said, taking Phoebe by the hand, and pulling her out of the room, leaving Joanne and Mark with her.
Maureen sat up eyeing the two. "Leave!"
Joanne shook her head. "We're having a talk before we go to bed." With that the lawyer left the room.
Mark stood in front of the bed, shooting a death glare towards his ex-girlfriend.
A smile then grew on the drama queen's lips.
"I don't see what's so funny." Mark stated.
"I do." Maureen said crawling to the edge of the bed. "It's like our first time we had sex. I was in bed waiting for you, and you were to scared to get in."
Mark's face fell at he memory, his eyes now watching as Maureen sat up on her knees; their eyes now eye level. "You were shaking and scared." She said, her fingers now grazing he's collarbone, slowly sliding up his neck and to the back of his head. "Remember how good we were together?"
"Maureen no…I'm over you now, I'm in love with Phoebe." Mark breathed.
Maureen leaned in, her lips inches away from Mark's. "I can make you forget about Phoebe."
"No." Mark said as he began to pull away, but Maureen pulled him back, now connecting their lips.
"Mark are you coming?" Phoebe called out, while walking into the bedroom, her eyes now landing on Mark and Maureen who were currently attached by the lips.
"What the hell is this!" Joanne shouted as she walked into the room.
Mark quickly jolted out of the kiss, pushing Maureen away. "No, Phoebe I didn't..."
"You can't deny it Mark, I caught you. I knew you still had little feelings left for Maureen, but I didn't think it would come to this." Phoebe said.
Before Mark could say anything, Phoebe ran out of the apartment.
"Thanks a lot Maureen!" Mark said now eyeing her.
"What?" Maureen asked. "You can do so much better, and you can't say you didn't like it. You're still in love with me remember?"
"No I'm in love with Phoebe, I could never fall in love with you again." Mark said, and then he left the room, chasing after Phoebe.
"Go get her tiger." Collins smirked, watching as the filmmaker dashed out of the room.
Maureen's attention went to Joanne, who had tears in her eyes. "Pookie?"
"Don't pookie me, how could you!" Joanne shouted.
"I still love you, I was just trying to show Mark that he doesn't really love Phoebe." Maureen answered.
"Were you trying to tell yourself, that you're still in love with him too?" Joanne asked, the tears now escaping her eyes.
"No Joanne it's not like that…" Maureen said watching as her girlfriend stormed out of the room. "I Joanne…please come back."
Mimi ran after Joanne, while Angel walked in the doorway. "You can't have both. You really need to get your emotions straighten out Mo, before you know it you wont have anybody."
"Come on lets go." Collins said his eyes falling on Maureen. "Man Mo, smoke some weed or something, you need to unwind."
With that said Collins, Angel, and Roger left. Mimi was the next to come in the doorway so she could talk to Maureen.
"Joanne wants to stay at my place tonight…" She quietly said. "I just thought I'd let you know."
"What why?" Maureen asked.
Mimi rolled her eyes. "You kissed your ex-boyfriend, why do you think?"
"Mimi…please make her stay…" Maureen said.
"I'm sorry Mo…she already left." Mimi said. "I'm leaving too. Maybe it's better this way, you'll have sometime to think things over."
Before Maureen could say anything, the dancer left, leaving Maureen alone and with her thoughts.
