Chapter 7

(Two days later with Liz and AJ who are trying to pick out a wedding cake)
AJ: Personally I’ve always liked chocolate cake best.
Liz: Not everyone likes chocolate cake though. That’s why I say we take vanilla. Everyone likes that.
AJ: Except me.
Liz: Well you don’t count.
AJ: Fine the groom gets no say in anything. I get it.
Liz: That’s right. (She kisses him) I just thought it would be better. Most people like vanilla.
AJ: I know. Hey…what about carrot cake?
Liz: (looks at him) Are you serious?
AJ: Well…carrot cake is the forgotten cake. No one every thinks about using that.
Liz: There’s a reason for that AJ.
AJ: What’s that?
Liz: Because it’s for RABBITS!
AJ: Good point. Vanilla it is.
Liz: Now the icing.
AJ: (falls over on the couch) Oh man.
(Doorbell)
AJ: (gets up and answers the door) Hey Elena. How are you? (Same grin as before and thumbs up once again)
Elena: I’m…fine…thanks for asking.
AJ: No prob.
Elena: Liz, I came to borrow that necklace we talked about.
Liz: Right. (Gets up and goes over to the table and picks up a necklace) Here it is. So what are you going to be wearing?
AJ: (laughs)
Elena: (looks at AJ) My blue dress why?
AJ: (laughs)
Liz: (walks over to AJ and hits him) No reason.
Elena: Ok then. I’ll talk to you guys later.
AJ: (thumbs up) You take care now Lane…you hear?
Elena: Right. (Leaves)
Liz: What the hell is wrong with you?
AJ: What…my boy is finally gonna get some…why can’t I be happy for him?
Liz: I don’t think he said anything to her yet.
AJ: Oh.
Liz: Anyway, (sits back down on the couch) what kind of frosting do you want on your cake? (Waits for him to respond) AJ? AJ?
AJ: (comes back on the couch and attacks Liz) Let’s talk about that later.
Liz: Yes sir.
