Hello! Sorry that I haven't updated for a while (again!). I have actually been sick for a couple weeks, but now I'm back to being 100 percent. And because of this, I've decided to do a long awaited "Rated R Love Affair" update! YAY! Anyways, thanks to Wolfgirl77769, xBlueEyedPunkettex and alex 988 for reviewing Chapter 22!

Alright, let's do this!
*For most of this chapter, I'm somewhat taking a break from Edge/Maria and focusing on Gracie's time with Rey's family. But the end will have the part with the SES, Maria and the videotape.*
Chapter 23: Now What?
Date: May 25, 2010
Location: Rey's house in San Diego, California
It was just a little after dinnertime at Rey's house. After the dishes were cleared and Dominik had taken off for his room to do homework, Gracie looked over at Aalyah.
"Will you help me with my math paper if I need help, please?" she asked the 8 - year - old.
"Si, Gracie. Of course I will," Aalyah replied happily. Ever since Gracie had arrived, the two girls had become pretty good friends. It had taken Dominik a little longer to accept Gracie as a guest because of his shy nature, but he'd made a breakthrough.
"Thanks Aalyah."
"De nada." Then the two girls went to the table to do their assignments.
10 minutes later...
After Aalyah was done with her homework, she put her assignments into her school bag. Then she walked back over to Gracie, who was still at the table.
"Como va tu preparacion que viene?" she asked, sitting next to her houseguest.
Gracie looked back at her, confused. Apparently, she needed some work on understanding and speaking Spanish!
"I'm sorry, but what does that mean?" she asked.
"Silly Gracie. I'm asking you if you're done with your paper yet." The two girls let out a giggle.
"I think so. What do you think?" asked Gracie, giving the paper to Aalyah.
After looking the paper over, Aalyah flashed her new friend a big smile.
"Muy bien! This is excellent! Let's go show my Papi."
"What's Papi mean?" Gracie asked, looking confused yet again.
"Papi is the same as 'Dad' or 'Daddy'," Aalyah simply replied.
"Oh. Okay."
"No need to worry about that, girlies," said Rey, casually walking into the kitchen. "Que pasa?"
"Mister Rey, I did my homework!" cried Gracie, sounding excited. "Want to see?"
"Sure, sweet pea." Rey took the paper and looked it over. After he was done, he gave it back to her, very pleased.
"Muy bonito! I'm sure your daddy will be happy with you working hard on your assignments. Nice job, Grace!" He gave her a big hug and a kiss on top of her head.
"Thank you, Mister Rey," Gracie said, returning the hug.
"You're welcome, honey. And just call me Rey, okay?"
"Okay... Rey." Gracie smiled.
"All right. Would you girls like some ice cream before you go to bed?"
"Yes please!" Gracie and Aalyah both stated.
"Okay," said Rey, taking the ice cream out. "You girlies may help yourselves."
And the girls proceeded to do so.
Later that night...
"Buenas noches, girls," said Rey.
"Night Papi," said Aalyah.
"Night Rey," said Gracie.
Gracie and Aalyah were now in Aalyah's bedroom, Aalyah in her bed and Gracie on an air bed with her Little Mermaid blanket and two pillows.
"See you girls in the morning." Rey kissed the two girls goodnight and walked out of the room. After saying goodnight to Dominik, Rey went to his room, ready to cuddle with his wife Angie. But when his head hit the pillow, his cell phone rang.
"Hola," he said, sounding a little confused and uncertain. Who the heck would call him now?
"Rey, it's Taker. I'm with some of the Divas at a hotel in Miami," said Mark through the phone. "I need your help."
"Oh boy," said Rey with a sigh. "Okay. We'll be right there." After hanging up, he whipped his head over at Angie.
"Que esta pasando, Oscar?" Angie asked him, looking bewildered.
"Taker needs my help with something," Rey said, a little annoyed. "And I wanted to know if you're willing to go to Miami with me for a while."
"Uh... Si, I'll come with you." Angie nodded and shrugged.
"Gracias." Then they got up out of bed and went to get the kids.
At an empty house
Phil and the rest of the SES were waiting for Michelle to arrive with Maria.
"Ugh. What is taking her so long with our captive, Punk?" Serena asked with an annoyed sigh.
"Don't worry, my darling Serena," Phil said, walking behind her and rubbing her shoulders. "She should appear soon enough."
And soon enough, there was Michelle, dragging Maria roughly right behind her.
"Here she is, Phil," Michelle smirked. "Now put in the damn videotape."
"Videotape? What videotape?" Maria asked, a little curious as to what her foe was talking about.
"Just hush, and you will find out, woman," Serena said, forcing Maria to sit down and finally holding her down.
Phil pushed the videotape into the old VCR and everybody watched Adam and his friends paint the baby's bedroom. Then it cut to a shot of Phil sending Adam a rude message. Afterwards, Phil and the SES were so happy with themselves.
"So what do you think?" asked Phil with a cheesy grin on his face.
"You SPIED on my boyfriend and his friends painting MY baby's room?" Maria screeched at him. "Why would you do that?"
"Mmm, just because." Phil selfishly shrugged his shoulders.
"I hate you so much right now, Phil," Maria said, furious. "Where is Adam?"
Michelle got back in her face and said, "You needn't worry about him, Ria. I am sure Phil will take very good care of you and your baby in the near future."
Then she and the SES laughed loudly, while Maria looked pissed, trying not to cry.
