Love hate relationships, chapter six
An hour later Mary returned with bags in both hands, and two guys behind her, hidden by more and more bags, their arms full.
"Over there." she commanded, pointing to the fireplace, "And hurry!"
"Weird room..." said a blond guy, after placing down the packages he held. He offered Brian his hand, "Keith Brewer." From behind another bag, the other guy tried to offer his hand as well, "Derek."
He put down the packages, and the guys all did a double take, "Oh wait!" cried Howie, those Brewer twin guys.."
AJ looked at him, "What?!"
"You know! Those nudie model guys that did uh... remember that Cindy Crawford spread in I think it was '98?!"
"Crawford?! The water one... Oh yeah! The naked guys!"
Brian looked at Ellie as if asking a silent question, and she smiled, "They're not nude models!"
Mary only laughed and began unpacking; she pulled out item after item, as if the bags were endless.
She had purchased toques for them all with monogrammed symbols and their nicknames, and the word, 'Evolution'. Following that bunch, she pulled out feather pillows with their names embroidered on and looked at Nick, smiling and throwing his 'Larry' pillow at him, "Maybe we could rotate bedding arrangements or something.. The bath tub sucks." Nick smiled back.
Derek and Keith, then, began helping her, with large screen panels, curtains and clothes.
Setting up the panels she said, "For privacy."
After that, Mary took a bed on the window side of the room.
Surprised by her generous gestures, the moods of the other eight seemed lifted and the all happily ate and sat around with each other, and although there was a relatively prominent amount of tension in the room and the groups more or less kept to themselves, they were all pretty happy.
They all even offered to compensate Mary for the things she brought them.
"No prob," she told them, when they asked for the costs, "remember how I used to work at 'Elite' Well.. they just hooked me up.. it was phat!"
"Fat?!" snickered AJ, "Like 'you'? How did you manage to get a job there anyway? Was it.. uh... the Plus Size Model charity case show?"
Mary looked at him in shock, after her peace offering, he could not even refrain from the chances he had at being cruel towards her. She could not even gather her wits to reply to his comment, she just sat there and stared at him, her heart twisting inside, ready to burst.
Derek looked at AJ, "What's your problem man?! That's my 'girlfriend'! So keep your stupid comments to yourself!" he looked quite upset, as if holding back mush that he wanted to both say and do.
AJ ignored him, and continued, "Oh 'I' know why you worked there!" he smirked, "Your 'boyfriend!'"
He looked at Derek and Keith, 'Whichever one of you she's dating, I really pity.. I mean, come 'on' guys! It's obvious you aren't getting any from the frigid little cow.. so why are you with her?"
All eyes, in shock, were on AJ, when Derek turned to look at his girlfriend, she was gone.
