Between the sheets



The next morning

Denise came out of the shower fully dressed and looked at the clock on the bedside table. It read 7:59am.
“Showtime…” she sighed and grabbed the video off the table, before heading out the door.


“Morning baby….” AJ entwined his feet with Kirstie’s under the sheets.
“Mmm…morning handsome..” Kirstie snuggled her bare body closer to AJ’s.
“We’re gonna tell her today…” AJ vowed.
“AJ…she’s gonna hate me!” Kirstie whined.
“Kirstie, my mom loves me…and she’ll love you…” AJ kissed her forehead.
“Fine….” Kirstie sighed and kissed him softly.
“Ther’s the spirit…” AJ laughed and rolled on top of her, kissing her once again.

“AJ get up there’s a….AJ?!?!” Denise’s mouth fell open as she entered the room.
“Oh shit! Mom!!” AJ wrapped the sheep around himself.
“There’s a meeting in the conference room in 10 minutes….don’t even dare be late…that includes you too Kirstie…” Denise nodded coldly and exited the room.

“Oh god….Kirstie pulled the sheet over her head.
“Don’t worry…umm…at least we don’t’ have to tell her now!!” AJ laughed softly.
“AJ this is not funny!!” Kirstie threw a pillow at him.
“I know…I’m sorry…..now I wonder what this meeting is about…she sounded pissed…” AJ said getting out of bed and slipping some boxers on.

“Yeah…I have a really bad feeling, I think something going down…” Kirstie replied.
“You worry too much…now lets go…we’d better not piss mom off anymore…” AJ laughed jumping in the shower.


“Nick…” Denise prodded the sleeping Nick, who had his arms wrapped around the also sleeping Cassidy contentedly.
“Mmm…” Nick replied not opening his eyes.
“Nick!” Denise poked him again.
“Mmm….Cass baby, go back to sleep…you wore me out last night…” He grinned still not opening his eyes.
“Nickolas Gene Carter if you’re not awake and out of that bed in 2 seconds, you are about to have a 2nd circumcision…..with disastrous results!!” Denise yelled slapping Nick.

Nick quickly opened his eyes and squinted at the blurry figure above him.
“Denise??” He mumbled.
“GET THE HELL UP!!”
“Ohhh shit…” He gasped and jumped out of bed, clad only in his cotton CK boxers.
Cassidy also now awake jumped out of bed, looking down briefly at her white tank and grey boyleg pants embarrassed.

Denise looked at Cassidy.
“Cassidy, this is not your room….” She began angrily.
Cassidy flushed.
“Umm….yeah I know…” She replied timidly.
“Oh, you know that? Oh that’s good, so it wasn’t a misunderstanding, it was just complete disrespect and disobedience of my strict orders…” Denise spat coldly. Both Nick and Cassidy looked down at the carpet guiltily.
“Jesus Christ you kids never cease to amaze me…..I sweat and bleed every day for these boys and then them and their little girlfriends think that I’m some sort of joke?!!? Is that what this is??” Denise said throwing her hands in the air.
Cassidy gasped.
“No of course not! Denise we…”
Denise waved her away.
“I don’t want to hear what you have to say I’m sorry Cassidy….there’s a meeting in the conference room in 10 minutes…Then you’ll hear what I have to say..” Denise nodded finally, walking out of the room.

As the door shut firmly, Cassidy put her hand to her mouth and sat down on the bed.
“Ok….what the hell was that…” nick asked completely confused. Cassidy just shook her head in reply.

“I mean, there’s no way she’d be just that pissed about the room thing…” Nick thought aloud.
“Something’s up…” Cassidy agreed.
“Shit…” Nick laid his head softly in Cassidy’s lap.
“What can it be??” Cassidy asked worriedly.
“We’ll soon find out…” Nick sighed.


Denise stood outside the door of what was supposed to be Becca and Cassidy’s room. She knew who’d be in there. She took a deep breath and opened the door.
Becca and Brian lay snuggled up to each other on the bed fully clothed, they had fallen asleep before they had the energy to change. If Denise wasn’t feeling so hurt and angry at that moment….she might have thought it was sweet, but today she was on the war path.
“Brian, Becca get up please…” She said firmly standing over the bed.
They both stirred and looked up at her confused.
“Hey Denise what’s up?” Brian asked rubbing his eyes.
“There’s a meeting in the conference room mow….I expect you two to be there in three minutes…” She informed them coldly as they got out of bed and stretched.
“What’s the meeting about Denise??” Rebecca asked sweetly as she brushed her hair.
“Why that’s funny, I thought you’d be the first to know that…” Denise’s voice was dripping with sarcasm.
“What…what do you mean?” Becca asked confused as Brian went to go change in the bathroom.
“I hope she didn’t find out about the fight with Leighanne yesterday…” Becca panicked.
