"So when are we going to meet this Jesse girl?" Leland asked and Zandra glared at him. Jesse has been living with Zandra for a week now and no one at the bonds office had met her yet.

"The only reason you and DL want to meet her is because you had Bonnie Jo take a picture of her and you think she's hot." Zandra said with a smile then turned to the camera. "Typical boys. Only thinking with their pants."

Leland threw a paper clip at her and she laughed.

"Awe Le, you know I'm just playing with you." Zandra replied giving him a playful hug. "She's still a little self conscious about the black eye. But the moment it heals completely I will bring her to meet you… but there will be no hitting on her the first time. She's a little boy crazy still and I don't want to hear her complain about why you haven't called her."

"Harsh." Duane Lee said putting his feet on her lap and kicking off his shoes.

"I say it with love." Zandra replied as she started to rub Duane Lee's feet.

"How come he always gets the foot rubs?" Leland whined.

"His feet don't stink." Zandra replied as Duane Lee's ex-wife, Tressa, walked in with his son Dylan.

"Zandra!" Dylan exclaimed when he saw her. He sat down next to her on the couch and gave her a hug.

"Hey buddy, did you have a good time in Colorado?" Zandra asked and Dylan went into a story of what he did. While Zandra listened intently to Dylan's story, Tressa took Duane Lee outside so they could talk in private.

"So who's this Zandra girl?" Tressa asked. "Dylan couldn't stop talking about her. You seem to spend a lot of time with her."

Duane lee shook his head. He knew there was a reason she wanted to bring Dylan to the office instead of just meeting at the airport like the usually did. "She's sort of like the family stray. She works at the office when she's not at her other job then hangs out with us on her free time. Her nephews are also good friends with the other kids."

"From what I've seen she's more than a stray." Tressa said crossing her arms.

"Yo, DL! What's shakin bacon?" Jonas asked walking from across the street with his brothers. He could see that Duane Lee was having a heated conversation with his ex-wife and decided to make their presence known so they didn't over hear something they shouldn't.

"Nothing, what are you guys doing here? I though you guys were going to have a movie day with the others." Duane Lee asked and Jonas nudged his older brother.

"We were till Adam and Cecily started a make out session on the couch. Bonnie Jo called Beth. To make a long story short, we have time on our hands now." Jonas replied. "Aunt Zandra in side."

"Yeah with Leland and Dylan." Duane Lee said with a smile.

Adam groaned. "Leland and Zandra aren't flirting in there are they?"

"No they are behaving." Duane Lee assured them. The boys nodded and walked into the office.

"How old are those boys?" Tressa asked and Duane Lee knew what she was thinking.

"Adam is sixteen, Jonas is fifteen, Matty is twelve and Zac is ten." Duane Lee replied. "And before you ask Zandra is twenty three. And no there is noting going on between her and Leland. She just likes to flirt."

"Young girls usually do." Tressa said walking back into the office. Sighing Duane Lee fallowed.

"Dylan, I'm heading home now." Tressa said and the boy just turned slightly to say good bye then started back in on the story he was telling Zandra.

"We'll have to finish this later bud." Zandra said looking up at the clock. Dylan nodded and ran to give his mother a hug and kiss goodbye. Duane Lee hid a smile knowing that Zandra had read Tressa's lips while they were out side. He had made sure they were positioned for it. He would have told her about it later any way. Tressa left and Duane Lee decided to take Dylan out to eat.

"Can Zandra come too?" Dylan asked and Duane Lee looked up at her as if asking if she wanted to go.

"Maybe next time bud." Zandra said with a smile. "I promised Jesse I'd be home for lunch today. She hates having to cook for five."

Dylan nodded sadly and followed his dad to the truck.

"Oh man you were getting death glares the whole time." Leland teased. Zandra smirked at him.

"I know. Why do people keep thinking there is something going on between me and you guys?"

"Oh who would dare think that?" Adam asked sarcastically. "You're always hanging out with DL and then you two never answer your phones when called."

"You and Leland are always sitting next to each other and touching in some way." Jonas added.

"Oh and the constant flirting you do with them." Adam said causing Leland to laugh.

"And the constant flirting they do with you." Jonas said causing Leland to stop laughing.

"I'm a flirt I'll admit it." Zandra said with a shrug. "I've done it all my life and I'm Damn good at it too."

XOX

Zandra sat down on the couch next to Jesse as Adam and Jonas played guitar hero III. Zac and Matty sat on the floor waiting for their turn surprisingly patient.

"The guys asked about you again today." Zandra said with a smirk. "You think we should take pity on them yet or make them suffer a couple more weeks?"

"Well from what you've told me about them," Jesse said with a mischievous grin, "I think we'll let them suffer."

"I think we should get some money out of this deal." Jonas said to his brothers. "I mean keeping this secret of theirs from Leland and DL. I mean it would ruin their big reveal of Jesse."

"Or you could keep it from them any way and not feel the wrath of The J and Z team." Jesse said with a grin.

"The J and Z team?" Zandra said then nodded in agreement. "Me likey."

Zandra enjoyed having Jesse around. She was three years older than Zandra and reminded her a lot that even though she was the boys guardian, that didn't mean she wasn't a kid herself. She was very young to have the responsibility but it didn't mean she couldnt have fun. Jesse was more than willing to watch the boys when Beth or Dog called wanting her to help with a hunt. Or when Duane Lee had a craving for late night tacos. That was a funny story.

It was eleven at night and Duane Lee was home alone. Dylan had been gone a couple of days to Tressa's and he was missing his son a lot. He knew Leland would kill him if he called that late to come and hang out. So he figured he'd give Zandra a call. He sadly couldn't think of a better excuse but that he was craving tacos. Zandra just laughed and drove over.

"Tacos huh?" Zandra said then started to giggle. He gave her an odd look. "Sorry, I was just remembering this time in high school. My class was very sick minded and very immature, so when we studied Greek mythology and learned that Zeus liked to have lots of sex, well the teacher couldn't say that so she said liked to make a lot of tacos. I'd love to see the look on my classmates faces right now."

"Wow you weren't lying when you said your friends had a twisted since of humor." Duane Lee said with a laugh. Zandra smiled as they started to make tacos. When they had about twelve made they knew they weren't actually going to eat them. Zandra smiled at him mischievously. She picked up on of the tacos and threw it at him. Duane Lee shook his head as he picked up a taco.

"You need to grow up Miss Porter. I mean come on starting a food fight and your twenty three years old." Duane Lee said and he threw the taco at him. The food fight got way out of hand after that. They had completely trashed the kitchen. The white tiled floor was no where to be seen.

"Well time for me to go home." Zandra said heading for the door. Duane Lee grabbed her around the waist from behind.

"Hell no you don't." Duane Lee demanded. "You made the mess too, so your helping clean up."

Zandra turned in his arms and laughed. "Oh yeah. What are you going to do if I say no and run away?"

"I know where you sleep at night." Duane Lee teased. Zandra put her hands on his chest and pushed herself back a bit.

"Well then I'd better help you clean up." Zandra replied and Duane Lee let her go. By the time they got everything cleaned up it was about three in the morning.

"You mine as well stay here." Duane Lee said with a yawn. "I'll get you something to change into."

"Thanks." Zandra said with a smile. He went into his room and brought back a pare of boxers and an old shirt. She went to the bathroom to change and when she came out Duane Lee couldn't help but laugh. She was swimming in his cloths.

"I had to use a hair tie on the boxers or they would have fallen off." Zandra said with a laugh. She flung herself on the couch and yawned. "See you in the morning Man."

That next morning Zandra was woken up by Dog and Beth. Now that was embarrassing. Getting caught spending the night at their son's house wearing his cloths and sleeping on the couch. Then having to explain why she was there and explaining why she kept laughing when they said making tacos.

Zandra giggled. "Tacos."

"I so knew you were thinking about that." Jesse said with a laugh. "Are the others still giving you a hard time about that?"

Zandra nodded. "Leland is the worst. And its not like I haven't stayed at his house before."

Zandra quickly put her hands over her mouth. No one knew about that night and she just let it slip. "Any one want popcorn?"

Zandra started to get up but was pulled back down on the couch.

"Oh no, your not getting off that easily." Jesse said causing the boys to pause the game. What ever Zandra had got caught saying was making her blush big time. Jesse stood up and dragged Zandra into her bedroom, shut the door, turned on music, then went into the bathroom and shut that door as well.

"There no one can hear us now, so spill." Jesse demanded standing in front of the door so Zandra couldn't leave. Which was funny because even though Zandra was a small girl, Jesse was three inches shorter and ity bity, making Zandra almost tower over her. Zandra sighed and sat down on the small chair she had in there. "Ok so last week Leland called me saying that his ex-wife was going to visit family and wanted to take the boys. Well it was supposed to be his time to get them but said it was ok anyway. He was upset about it and called me knowing his family would be upset for letting her take them. Because he hardly gets to see his boys and all. So I went to hang out with him instead of going to my other job."

Jesse smiled she was the only one that knew Zandra had a third job. Considering they both worked on the same wing of the hospital, she knew Zandra wasn't working night shift there, so Zandra had no choice but to tell her.

"So you went to hang out….And?" Jesse asked as her smile widened.

"We hung out. End of story. We watched a movie. Had a popcorn fight and sat on the couch." Zandra said and Jesse raised an eyebrow.

"Did he have his arm around you?" Jesse asked.

"Not really." Zandra replied knowing were this was going. "He was sitting on the couch first with his arms resting on the back of it like most guys do, and I sat down next to him."

"Oh my god!" Jesse exclaimed. "Sista! You had a date with Leland Chapman!"

Zandra rolled her eyes. "Oh I did not. It was more like hanging out with a good friend."

"Uh yeah. A hot guy friend." Jesse teased and Zandra rolled her eyes again. "Don't roll your eyes at me Alexzandra. I saw that poster you have of him tucked away behind your shoes."

"I have a poster of all them." Zandra said in protest. "When I lived in Iowa, I refused to work on the nights their show was on because I didn't wasn'to miss it. And taping wasn't the same."

"Do they know that?" Jesse asked and Zandra gave her a yeah right look.

"Oh yeah that would be a great conversation starter." Zandra said sarcastically. "Just to let you all know, I'm like your biggest fan and meeting you had made my life complete. Your show is like the Bible to me… I'm sure that would go over real well."

"Your such drama." Jesse said with a laugh.

"That's why they used to call me Country Drama."
