Little Lunchboxes



“Mmmmm….hey! How come you got FOUR and I only got ONE!” Cassidy whined as Nick put his plate down beside her.
“I’m a growing boy…” Nick defended and looked at his plate.
“Yeah, growing sideways…..” Kevin laughed.
“Whatever…” Nick rolled his eyes and quickly forked one of his pancakes over to Cassidy’s plate.
“Thank-you!” Cassidy laughed.

“Where’s Becca?” AJ looked around.
“She’s out in the drive just sitting at the wheel…” Brian shook his head laughing.
“She loves that car so much..” Howie smiled and the rest of the table nodded in agreement.
“Man, we’re just the best friends!” Cassidy laughed.
“Yeah I know! I wish someone got me a car!” Kirstie pouted.
“You already have a car!” Cassidy pointed out.
“Oh yeah…” Kirstie laughed.
Becca walked in with a big smile on her face. “You hungry?” Howie asked sweetly.
“Not really….” Becca began to say but stopped when she saw Cassidy holding up a punnet of strawberries.
“Wait up, Yes I am!” She grinned and took a handful of strawberries, jumping up onto the kitchen counter.

“Anyways I’d better get dressed…” Kirstie said glancing down at her Winnie the Pooh pajamas.
“Oh yeah me too…” Becca said with a mouthful of strawberry.
“I’ll get dressed in your room Cass……your about my size…” Kirstie grinned under her breath.
“What was that!” Cassidy asked.
“Nothing….” Kirstie giggled and ran off to look in Cassidy’s closet.
“Don’t let that girl near your closet Cassidy…” Emma smirked.
“Girls!” Nick and the guys laughed.
“Ok won’t be long…” Becca said, half walking, half skipping to her room.
Cassidy laughed, “So anyway, how was Canada guys?”
“Boring…” AJ answered.
“AJ! It was good!” Kevin elbowed AJ in the ribs.
“What?… Amber was pretty cool!” He said.
“Yeah she was real nice,” Brian smiled.
Nick was silent. “Oh yeah, she was your wardrobe mistress?” Cassidy asked.
“Yeah…” Howie answered.
“Cool,” Cassidy smiled.

Rebecca threw on a pair of denim shorts and was attempting to clip up her bra when a strawberry appeared in front of her mouth, she turned slightly. “Mmm..thanks Bri..” She said biting into the strawberry.
“Here need some help….” He smiled clipping her bra up for her.
“Thanks….” Becca smiled.
Brian began kissing her bare shoulder, moving his way up to her neck. “Mmmm…Brian I’ve got to get dressed….” Becca moaned, a shiver going up her spine.
“Not…right…now..” Brian said between kisses.
“Brian!” Becca giggled as Brian tickled the back of her neck with his kisses.
“Mmmhmm?” Brian continued, slowly turning Becca around and kissing her sweetly on the lips.
“Never mind…” Becca laughed and pushed him back onto her bed. Straddling his lap she kissed him deeply. Brian ran his hand over Becca’s smooth thigh, returning the kiss.

Just then Kirstie burst into the room, “Becca can I borrow…Oh, Sorry guys!” She laughed embarrassed. Becca stopped kissing Brian and turned to see Kirstie in the doorway.
“I’ll just leave you two alone….” She said and quickly exited the room. Laughing as she closed the door behind her.
“What’s the matter?” Kevin asked.
“Ummm…let’s just say those two are pretty happy to see each other..” She laughed again.
Cassidy laughed, “Ah Kirstie! Hey are those my shorts?!”
“Ummm no!” Kirstie grinned.
“Get out of my closet!!” Cassidy half joked.

Becca laughed as Brian flopped back down on the bed.
“I’d better get dressed….” Rebecca said getting off Brian and going to her closet. She retrieved a white singlet and put it on, brushing her hair quickly and twisting it up. She smiled at her reflection.
Brian hugged her from behind, “You look great..”
Becca smiled, breathing in his cologne, “Mmmm so do you…..come on we’ve got to go…”
“Not yet…” Brian pouted.
“Yeah, come on…” Becca said pecking him on the lips.
“Fine!” Brian said hoisting her up into his arms and carrying her out of the room.
“Brian!” Becca laughed.
“Guys can we grow up for just ONE second here??” Cassidy looked disapprovingly at Becca and Brian.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about…” Brian tried to keep a straight face as he quickly put Becca down and they walked past Cassidy.
“Children…” Cassidy shook her head laughing and walked into her room.
“WHAT THE……KIRSTIE O’DONNELL GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!!!!!” Cassidy’s mouth dropped open as she saw every clothing item she owned either on the bed, floor, desk or the various furniture.
“Uhhh hey Cass what’s up?” Kirstie said timidly as she poked her head around the corner of Cassidy’s door.
“You look nice….” Cassidy said with gritted teeth as she inspected Kirstie’s outfit.
“Uhh…thanks Cass….” Kirstie said confused.
“Kirst?”
“Yeah Cass??”
“You have precisely 160 seconds to clean up this or you’ll be walking to the amusement park naked, with many, many bruises on your body….” Cassidy said with a sarcastic tone.
“Uhhh….ok!” Kirstie hurried in the room and began to put the clothes back in her closet.
“Ok are we ready to go?” Emma asked walking into Cassidy’s room.
“Yeah….just a minute…” Kirstie scurried around the room, picking up shirts, skirts and various other clothes.
Emma laughed, “I told you not to let her near your closet Cassidy!”
“Yeah well…” Cassidy said.
Becca soon joined them in the room. “Hey Kirst…Is Matt coming here first?”
“No he’s meeting us at the park…” Kirstie said closing Cassidy’s closet.
“Ok cool….we ready to go?” Becca grinned.
“Yep, hey we’ll just leave our car here ok?” Emma asked.
“Yeah sure…”

“Ok Kirst….here’s the plan. Get in the car that has AJ McLean as a passenger!” Emma smirked.
“What! You don’t wanna ride with us?!” Cassidy said in mock shock.
“No offense Cassidy, but this is AJ McLean we’re talking about!!” Emma laughed.
“Well he seems to think that you’re pretty cool…” Becca raised her eyebrows just waiting for Emma to tell them the goss…as she knew that she would.
“Well…actually…” Emma motioned for them to sit down.
“I was hiding in the bathtub….” Emma giggled as she started the story.

“Godamn, what are those girls doing in there??” Kevin laughed as the 5 boys peered down the hall at Cassidy’s shut bedroom door.
“I bet their talking about us…” Nick said looking at the guys.
“You think?” Brian asked worriedly.
“Definatly….” AJ nodded.
“That’s not good….right?” Howie asked.
“It depends…” Kevin replied.
“On what?” Brian asked intrigued.
“The type of talk…” Kevin answered a matter of factly.
“What types are there??” Howie eyes grew wide.
“Ohhh there’s all types…” AJ agreed.
“True??? Like what?” Brian whispered as the boys inched down the hallway.
“Well there’s the common ‘girl must tell all other girls in the vicinity of 2.3 square miles how big their boyfriends….uhh… ‘equipment’ is’ talk….but they also often try and guess about their boyfriend’s friends…..” Kevin gave an example and the 4 boys self-consciously looked down and then quickly looked up embarrassed.

“Yeah yeah, what else??” Nick asked quietly.
“Well then you’ve got your… ‘I think there’s something wrong….I think I should dump him’ talk….” AJ looked at Brian solemnly. Brian’s face paled.
“Its ok ROK…I don’t think that filly’s sick of you yet…” Kevin laughed softly patting Brian on the back.
“What else??” Howie asked impatiently as Nick and Brian jogged into the kitchen to retrieve five glasses.
“Well, then you’ve got the best kind of talk….” Kevin smiled.
“What’s that?” Nick and Brian said as they returned and gave each guy a glass.
“The sweet, ‘he’s perfect and I adore him’ talk….” AJ sighed.
“Haven’t heard that one in awhile have ya Bone?” Nick poked AJ in the ribs.
“At least I’m not the one that the girls laugh at when they’re having the ‘equipment’ talk…” AJ said looking Nick up and down meaningfully.
Nick’s cheeks went bright red. “You’re so full of shit McLean…” Nick hissed.
“Sure sure…don’t take it out on me if you’ve got a… ‘little lunchbox’…” AJ laughed and the other three boys cracked up laughing.
“Oh that’s it…” Nick went to grab AJ but the other’s held him back and shoved a glass in his hand.
“Do you wanna hear what they’re saying or not??” Kevin hissed and both boys nodded.
The boys all crept silently down the hall to come to Cassidy’s door. They put their glasses up to the door and listened.

“Yeah….so that experience concludes the BEST game of hide and seek in my life!” Emma sighed and flopped down on the bed dramatically.
“Ohhh…fan her fan her!!” Cassidy laughed as the girls pretended to fan the ‘fainted’ Emma.
“Where were you and Nickerz hiding the first time Cassidy??” Becca remember the two getting busted together and was dying to here the goss.
“Ohmigosh I forgot all about that!!” Cassidy giggled at the memory.
“Well?!?!?!” Kirstie, Emma and Becca all squealed at the same time.

“Here we go…” Kevin winked at the others.
“Shush!!” Nick whispered and elbowed Kevin in the ribs.

“We were hiding under the bed….” Cassidy smiled ruefully.
“Oooooo….” The girls laughed and made kissing noises.

“Lets get a move on girls…” AJ rolled his eyes.
“SHHHH!!!” Nick kicked AJ.

“And he wouldn’t stop wriggling….and he was soooo gonna get us busted..” Cassidy giggled.
“I’m pretty glad I didn’t bust you….ewww!” Kirstie laughed and Cassidy slapped her.

“I’m impressed Nicky…” Howie raised his eyebrows.
“You haven’t heard the rest yet…” Nick said shutting his eyes and softly banging his head on the door.
“Oh this should be funny…” Kevin put his ear back to his glass.
“You know what guys….this isn’t right…let’s not listen anymore….” Nick whispered.
“Not on your life Carter…” Brian grinned and motioned for Nick to be quiet as Cassidy began to talk again.

“Well….I don’t know…I..uhh…made him stop wriggling…” Cassidy shrugged blushing a little.
“I bet you made him wriggle in his little Y-Fronts…” Emma cracked up laughing.
“THAT’S GROSS!!!” Cassidy blushed and threw a pillow at Emma.
Becca and Kirstie were laughing too hard to respond.
“Ahhh shit..” Kirstie laughed as she fell off the bed making the girls burst into another fit of giggles.

“Ohhh….they’re laughing at you Carter…” Kevin grinned.
“How does she know I wear…??” Nick asked.
“The whole country knows you like…uhh…supportive underwear..” Brian laughed at his friend who promptly gave him the finger.
“How mature…keep acting like that, and you’ll be wearing boxers anyday now…” Brian shook his head.

“So keep going!!!…What happened next??” Kirstie said, clambering back onto the king size bed.
“Well….uhhh…oh shit!” Cassidy was having trouble… ‘going into detail’.
“Come on Cass!! It’s just us!!” Becca said exasperated.
“Yeah I guess so…ok well..” Cassidy went to continue…but heard something drop outside the door.
“What’s that?”

“Jesus Howie!!!” Kevin cursed as Howie’s glass dropped to the floor but didn’t break.
“Sorry!!” Howie whispered and quickly picked up the glass.

“Are they out there????” Becca mimed.
The girl’s eyes grew wide and they listened intently.

“Shhh guys they’ll hear us!” AJ’s hushed voice could be heard.

“Those little….” Cassidy cursed under her breath.

“Yeah so what happened Cassidy???” Kirstie winked at Cassidy and the girls all knew what they had to do.
“Well….Kirstie…like I said…Nick was wriggling around like crazy! So I decided to stop it….and as I reached down….” Cassidy got louder and slowed it down as Becca walked over to the door and put her hand on the handle.

“What??” The boys all pressed as hard as they could into the door to hear what happened next.

“So I reached…..down…and began to ‘work the magic’….to Nicky’s definite approval…” Cassidy winked at Becca who nodded.

“WHAT?” The boys pressed even further into the door….they were hooked.

“And then….he whispered something in my ear….” Cassidy said sensually.

“What the hell?” Nick whispered wondering where Cassidy had pulled this from.

“And you wanna know what he said?…” Cassidy said loudly.

The boys nodded eagerly, their ears stuck to the door.

Cassidy gave Becca the nod and Becca quickly pulled the door open so that all five guys came crashing onto Cassidy’s bedroom floor.

“I believe that he said…. ‘Never eavesdrop on ANYONE ELSE’S CONVERSATION!” Cassidy put her hands on her hips as she stood over the boys and the girls laughed at the sight.

Howie quickly put his fist up in a ‘Knocking’ motion.
“Why girls….we were just about to knock…” He said sheepishly getting up and walking out of the room.
“Uhhh….look…my…uhh…glass is empty, and I’m darned thirsty...all this steamy weather…” Kevin motioned to his glass and hurried out of the room to join Howie.
“Yes…we would never eavesdrop on your conversation...cause that would just be rude, rude, rude!” AJ said innocently getting up, dusting off his cargoes and quickly exiting.

“And what do you two have to say for yourselves??” Becca joined Cassidy and stood over Nick and Brian as they sat embarrassed on the floor.
“Uhh…..it was all Kevin’s fault!” Brian began.
“And AJ!” Nick added.
“They kept telling us about the ‘talk’!” Brian tried to explain.
“And the ‘equipment’ thing!!” Nick yelled over the top.
“What?? Equipment?!?” The girls looked at each other.
“Nevermind!” Nick said quickly. Brian laughed.
“You think this is funny Brian??” Becca quickly gave him the evil eye.
“No ma’am…” Brian lowered his head.
“Get up…” Cassidy ordered the two, and they obeyed. Becca giggled as she watched the two boys get up and tower over Cassidy and Becca, but looked almost scared.
“Do you promise, never, ever….to eavesdrop on myself or Becca again?” Cassidy stood with her hands on her hips.
“Promise..” They said in unison.
Cassidy paused, and her face softened.
“You two look so cute right now you know that?” She laughed softly.
“Shutup…” The boys said embarrassed and stood up straight.
“We’d better get going…” Becca reached out and grabbed Brian’s hand.
“Yeah…are we going in your new car?” Brian smiled at his girlfriend as they walked out into the hall. Kirstie and Emma joined them.
