Marlon looked at April and Elliott playing together, "They seem to be getting along, don't they"
Kelly shrugged, she really wasn't interested as she sat painting her nails with a nail vanish that belonged to Donna, "Yeah...but I'd expect there'll be trouble at some point, won't they...kids squabble"
Marlon frowned at her, "...and you will be okay with that? You are on your own here for most of the morning"
Kelly blew out a sigh and looked at the chef, "Marlon! I can look after a pair of snotty nosed kids you know...if they play up, I'll just shove a DVD on or sommit"
Marlon shook his head, "I can see why you were up for mother of the year"
"What?"
"Never-mind...anyway how long are you back for anyway..."
Kelly shrugged, " the foreseeable...so it looks like that Elliott and April are gonna be the bestest of friends, won't they"
Marlon was about to go, when he turned and rubbed his cheek...
"So'a...how are you getting on with Ross then? You must be quite chuffed that your sister seems to be going for your kind of blokes just lately"
"What ROSS! He's a right scumbag...I wouldn't touch his with yours"
This was interesting to hear...
"Oh right...", Marlon sucked his cheeks in, "...so you and Ross are not getting along then?"
Kelly inspected her freshly painted nail, "Not really...he just wants my sister to himself...well, I'm telling ya...I'm not having HIM telling me what to do and where to go"
Marlon raised his eyebrows, "He's asked you to leave, has he?"
"Yeah...but I don't have to listen to him, do I...Donna's MY sister...it's up to her if I stay or not"
Marlon turned and smiled, "Hmmmm...well...what can I say...you really have put a spin on things, haven't you"

At Midday, Ross was still working over at the garage. He had his head in an engine and when he looked up, he could see Kelly leave the house.
3 days now. 3 days since she had descended on them. When was she gonna sling her hook?
He turned and saw another one he didn't have time for, Aaron. Aaron came up to him with a smirk. Ross approached him, wrench in hand.
"What are YOU doing back from lunch so early for?"
"Why? Making you nervous am I?"
"No, why would you?"
Aaron shrugged and looked about the garage and forecourt, there was plenty of motors on show waiting to be seen to.
"I can take care of this lot...you can go to lunch now if you want"
"No chance, Debs has left ME in charge around here, so YOU can't start telling me when and when I can't go to lunch"
Aaron followed Ross's eyes and saw that he was watching Kelly come out of the shop.
"Oh I see...got your eyes on her, have yah?"
"NO!"
"Looks like it to me...and the word is, you're making a go of it with daft as a brush preggars Donna"
Ross was ready to deck him one, but held back, he knew what Aaron was up to.
"You're just trying to goad me...wind me up...just because I told you to stay away from Finn"
Aaron screwed his face up, "Finn? Finn was begging for it mate...he couldn't get enough of me"
Ross narrowed his eyes at him, he clench his fists and still remained in control because by reacting was what Aaron was up to. Ross removed his disposable gloves and without a backwards glance he went to lunch.

Donna was at her wit's end when Ross came in. April and Elliott were running riot. Elliott was pulling April's hair and her scream was so high-pitched, Ross pulled a face as he closed the door, "What the fu..."
Donna came forward, "I'm telling you...Kelly is going to have to teach Elliott how to behave..I'm sure he's got a problem"
Ross took her into the kitchen, "did you say something about that prat Jimmy King being his dad?"
Donna nodded as April was screaming now, "APRIL STOP IT!"
"Then I best tell him his son's here..."
Donna went to stop him, "Ross you can't, I promised her I wouldn't..."
Ross smiled back at her, "you did...I never...and I'm not having YOU all stressed out...I'm going over there now"

Later Aaron saw Adam waiting for him at the bar with a pint. Chas and James were serving behind the scenes, or arguing about who was going to change the barrel.
"alright mate"
"Not really pal...that cousin-come-brother of yours over at the garage is doing my head in"
Adam laughed,"Blimey, he has wound you up, hasn't he!"
Aaron took his pint and led Adam to a table. They sat down.
"So what's he done now", asked Adam.
"Just being here in this village, I'm telling ya, this place is not big enough for the both of us"
Adam shook his head as he took a sip of his beer.
"He's making a go with it with Donna...didn't see that one coming, very unlikely pair, them"
Aaron sat back and turned.
"I see that slapper sister of hers Kelly's back as well...I bet he'll be sniffing round her given the chance"
"is she? I didn't know...she's aright slapper her...I wouldn't go near it", said Adam pulling a face.
Aaron was smiling as a thought came to mind, "...I bet if he gets with her, then it'll mess his cosy little setup with Donna"
Adam finished his pint and met his gaze.
"You've turned into a right little stirrer you"
Aaron knocked back his pint and slapped his lips together, as he watched Kelly walk in with an excited Bob in tow.
"Nah...I wanna ruin his little set up...just seeing his face winds me up...thinking he's the big I am around here when he's nothing but a two-bit carjacker...well...he's got his coming...that slapper doesn't know it yet, but she's gonna help me..."
