OO.... Katie, she's just screaming for help and doesn't really know it. She's really selfish though, knowing that Speed is a recovering alcoholic and yet constantly shoves it in his face... I think it's time that Speed and Katie find alternative routes to live their lives...pretty much seperated. It's best for both parties...

Awesome update

PS... what was that cryptic remark made by Scotty to Bob, is he thinking of going back?
 
^^ I agree. Katie and Speed need to finally go their separate ways. As hard as I know that can be when you work together and have to see each other all the time... They need to walk away.

I don't think Scott can walk away forever. Sooner or later, he'll get bored or drive Lori even more crazy, and then he'll go back to working.

I love Speed and Lori dancing... it's a very cute image. :D

Great update! :D
 
Thanks for the reviews. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gables Estates, house, kitchen, 9am

Katie: *lies head on table*

Lori: *places glass on table* Drink that. Scott says it helps.

Katie: I bet Scott thinks he knows everything.

Scott: I'd be nice but alas, I'm just a mere mortal. *sits*

Katie: If he talks again, I'm pounding his face in.

Speed: Katie, you have a problem.

Katie: *looks at Speed* No I don't. Just because you're an alcoholic and she's a crack head, doesn't mean I'm automatically doomed to your demons. It's simply that when I have one too many, I get boisterous.

Speed: You were dirty dancing in the middle of the floor and knocked over an expensive ice sculpture. In front of half the department and 40 other honorable guests.

Katie: So?

Speed: You weren't at a bachelorette party.

Katie: Alright so maybe I need to know my limits.

Speed: Well until you do, you're out of my house.

Katie: I pay half the rent.

Speed: Really? I haven't seen your supposed 'half' yet.

Katie: *frowns* Then I'm staying with Lori.

Lori: Nope.

Katie: *looks at Lori* You have an entire guest house.

Lori: For guests, not tenants.

Katie: Who's going to know?

Lori: Sorry, I don't want you here.

Katie: What about Scott?

Scott: I feel the same way as Lori.

Katie: Oh I see who wears the pants in this relationship.

Lori: Don't change the subject. Havin fun is one thing but it doesn't seem like you're having much fun anymore, it seems like...well, you need it. I don't know why but-

Katie: *laughs* You don't know why.

Lori: No.

Katie: *looks at Speed* Maybe you want to fill it in. *stands, walks away*

Speed: *lowers eyes*

Lori: You think I should talk to her?

Speed: I'll do it. *stands, walks upstairs*

Lori: *sigh*

Scott: *looks at Lori*

Lori: I'm glad you're my husband.

Scott: *stares at Lori*

Upstairs, bedroom

Katie: *grabs tissue from nightstand*

Speed: *steps in, shuts door*

Katie: I don't want to talk to you.

Speed: I think we need to.

Katie: *stands* Why? So I can tell you how much you've ruined my life? How I still love you even though I hate you at the same time? How I can't have a meaningful relationship with anyone because I'm afraid they'll all beat me? That every man is the same? Oh, not to mention I'm probably going to die alone because everyone thinks I'm a slut without brains. Where do you want me to start!

Speed: *stares at Katie*

Katie: WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME!

Speed: ...I'm sorry.

Katie: NO YOU AREN'T! *slams fists into Speed's chest* I'M TIRED OF HEARING 'I'M SORRY' FROM YOU!

Speed: *falls back against wall*

Katie: YOU NEVER CARED ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOURSELF! ERGH! *punches Speed in the face*

Speed: *closes eyes*

Katie: I USED TO BE A BEAUTIFUL PERSON! BUT YOU RUINED ME! *punches Speed*

Speed: *winces*

Lori: *walks in* Mom, stop.

Katie: NO!

Lori: *grabs Katie, pulls her back*

Katie: I HATE YOU, YOU BASTARD!

Speed: *looks at Katie*

Katie: *falls to floor, starts to cry*

Lori: *kneels, wraps arm around Katie*

Speed: *walks away*

Katie: *hugs Lori*

Lori: Oof.

Katie: *sniffs* ...You smell like peaches.

Lori: *rolls eyes*

Kitchen, 11am

Scott: *places cup on table*

Katie: *grabs cup, drinks tea*

Lori: So it's uh...finally over between you two, huh.

Katie: I guess.

Lori: It's for the better.

Katie: Yeah. I thought we could work it out but...I don't want to anymore.

Scott: *sits*

Katie: Hey Scott, do you know any good men?

Scott: Uh...depends what you mean by that.

Katie: Men like you.

Scott: I'm not perfect.

Katie: Do you constantly beat and belittle your wife?

Scott: No, but-

Katie: Then that's good enough for me.

Lori: To be fair, Dad did stop. And a lot of his problems stemmed from the alcoholism.

Katie: You're defending him?

Lori: I'm just saying...he didn't lay a hand on you until he started up with the drugs and alcohol.

Katie: I've considered that but it doesn't excuse him.

Lori: No, it doesn't.

Scott: OH!

Lori/Katie: *look at Scott*

Scott: THAT was the secret ingredient in that cake. Peaches!

Lori: What?

Scott: Oh, your shampoo reminded me.

Lori: ...You're still straight, right?

Scott: *smiles*

TBC...................................
 
I knew the meltdown was coming, it was just a matter of letting it happen. There are certain things that Katie needs to understand, and to deal with before she should even think about another man. I hope that she can get herself together and get off the booze. Maybe at one point, they could be friends...or maybe not. Who knows, but Katie really just needs to find herself.

Awesome update!
 
:lol: :lol: Oh, Scotty. Thank you for that much needed laugh. :lol: :lol:

That breakdown was definitely something Katie needed. I hope that she can work things out with herself.

Awesome update! :D
 
Ha Ha Ha ! Katie Kickin her Shoe of in the middle of the dance ! Then crashin the Ice sculpture ! lol!

Yeah I think katie need to straighten herself out and get some help! Now would be a good time for me to come in as speeds new woman ! Hint, Hin,t Wink, Wink, Nudge.nudge! Lol!

I think that Katie should go after Bob ! They would make the perfect couple ! lol!

Scott was to funny with the peach comment in the middle of everything !

Great update Geni!
 
Thanks for the reviews! :D

Doctor's office, 2 months later

Anni: *swings leg*

Tom: *grabs Anni's hand*

Doctor: *walks in*

Anni: So? Is everything okay?

Doctor: The baby's fine.

Anni: *sigh*

Doctor: But your blood pressure is a little higher than I'd like and that can lead to pre-eclampsia. What I'm going to do is keep monitoring and hopefully it won't become a serious problem in the future.

Anni: *nods*

Doctor: But so far, you're on your way. *walks away*

Tom: See? Everything's okay.

Anni: It better be. We're probably not going to have another shot at this.

Tom: *leans closer, kisses Anni's forehead*

Anni: *closes eyes*

Tom: You going to work?

Anni: Ugh, yeah. I told Katie I'd be a little late.

Tom: I could fill in if you're not up to it.

Anni: Nah, I'm fine. *jumps down from table* I'll see you at home later?

Tom: Definitely.

Gables Estates, house

Lori: *wiping counter*

Scott: Need any help?

Lori: No.

Scott: I could fold laundry.

Lori: I already folded it.

Scott: How about I fix the garborator.

Lori: No. I have someone coming to fix it already.

Scott: Need a massage?

Lori: *lifts eyes* Would you stop?

Scott: You seem stressed out.

Lori: Yeah, you're hovering. Makes me uncomfortable.

Scott: Let me help. *places hands on Lori's shoulders*

Lori: N-*sigh*...*clears throat* No. *turns around* Look, you need to just go away for a while.

Scott: I do?

Lori: Yes.

Scott: But I've been so helpful around the house.

Lori: Yeah, you've made the rennovations worse.

Scott: Oh come on. I fixed the closet doors.

Lori: After you broke them trying to fix the baseboards.

Scott: Okay so I'm not a handyman. BUT, I did help you do your taxes.

Lori: And I appreciated it. *smiles* Now get lost.

Scott: Where should I go?

Lori: The playground.

Scott: Ha. Ha. *wraps arms around Lori's waist* You're hilarious.

Lori: *smiling*

Scott: Alright, I'll go do something productive. I think I left some files back at my office that need to come home.

Lori: Great.

APL Manhattan Miami, office

Scott: *opens filing cabinet*

Tia: *sits on desk* Hey.

Scott: *turns around, drops file*

Tia: *smiles* Nice tan.

Scott: ...What are you doing here.

Tia: I flew in with a client this morning. Thought I'd visit. I'm staying at the Delano if you want to get reaquainted.

Scott: I don't.

Tia: *stands, walks around desk* I can do two clients a night. I'll give you a discount.

Scott: Thanks for the offer but no thanks.

Tia: *places hands on Scott's chest* B-

Scott: *grabs Tia's arms* Please leave.

Tia: *stares at Scott*

Scott: *steps back*

Tia: *walks away*

Scott: *shakes head*

Gables Estates, house, 2pm

Lori: So she's okay.

Tom: Yeah. Did you ever have any problems when you were pregnant?

Lori: *eats carrot* You mean besides the miscarriage I had after you and I hooked up?

Tom: *frowns*

Lori: ...Do abortions count as problems?

Tom: Nevermind.

Lori: *sits at table* You wanted advice, you should have gone to Scott.

Tom: I've just never been this worried about something I don't even have yet.

Lori: It's normal.

Tom: Good. At least I know I'm not insane.

Lori: *grabs Tom's cheeks* I am so proud of you.

Tom: *smiles*

Lori: *kisses Tom's cheek*

Tom: *lowers head*

Lori: You're so right for her.

Tom: *lifts eyes*

Lori: *smile fades* ...Anyway. More coffee?

Tom: Sure.

Lori: *stands, walks away*

TBC....................................
 
Do I detect a little bit of jealousy over Tom and Anni with Lori! Hell Lori you've got Scott falling all over you to be the worlds perfect husband and yet you still have eyes for Tom ! Whats up with that? Hell if you don't want Scott i'll trade you! I would so love a man that would do what ever I asked ! lol! They don't exist !

Anni really should be resting and staying off her feet! That blood pressure could become a very bad issue fo her that she doesn't need right now!

And WTF is that Upper class gitter slut doing in town! She needs to stay the hell away from Scott! Looks like this may be a job for action Lori! She better get back on that plane to NY !

Great update Geni !
 
Awesome! Things are right on track for Anni and Tom, I can see Tom becoming paranoid about this child, wanting everything to go right ...It's just soo cute to see him flustered, lol. Although...speaking about a child to Lori...not a very good idea in the least bit... There's definetly something still simmering with Lori though...she's not let Tom go at all...

Speaking of infidelity...Tia made it back on the scene. How come I think she's going to become a constant thorn in his side? And how come I think the more she comes around, the more...tempted Scotty will become? Is that even possible? LOL...Speculation abound...

Awesome update:D
 
Thanks for the reviews! :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gables Estates, house, bedroom, 11pm

Lori: *lies on bed*

Scott: *kisses Lori*

Lori: *smirks*

Scott: *kisses Lori's neck*

Lori: *sigh* Tom.

Scott: *lifts head* ...What?

Lori: *looks at Scott* What?

Scott: ...You just said Tom.

Lori: No I didn't.

Scott: *sits up* Yes you did.

Lori: So?

Scott: So I'm not Tom.

Lori: *laughs* I know that.

Scott: *frowns*

Lori: *sits up* It's nothing, I just...happened to have him on the mind.

Scott: Why.

Lori: Well he was here today and he was all worried about his child and I guess I just sort of made the connection to what we were doin'. You know how the brain is.

Scott: *stares at Lori*

Lori: Right, let's get back to business. *grabs Scott's shirt*

Scott: *pushes Lori's arm* No, I think we're done. *stands, walks away*

Lori: Ugh. *lies down*

Downstairs

Lori: *walks into living room* Scott? ...*sigh* Great.

Delano hotel, 11:50

Scott: *knocks on door*

Tia: *opens door, smiles*

Scott: *walks in*

Tia: *turns around, shuts door* I didn't think you'd come.

Scott: *sits on bed*

Tia: Something wrong?

Scott: *runs hand through hair* I shouldn't even be here.

Tia: *walks over, sits* The only one who can make a man like you drive all the way down here for me is another woman.

Scott: *looks at Tia*

Tia: *climbs into Scott's lap* What'd she do?

Scott: *sigh* She said another man's name. It wasn't that big a deal. I overreacted.

Tia: I guess it depends how often she thinks about this 'other man'.

Scott: *lifts head*

Tia: *kisses Scott's cheek* I mean, if she's talking about him all the time or having lunch with him all the time, *places lips near Scott's ear*-

Scott: *closes eyes*

Tia: - Maybe she's not as devoted to you as she says.

Scott: No. *stands*

Tia: *falls backwards*

Scott: I'm sorry I wasted your time. *walks away*

Tia: *throws hands up in the air* Alright.

Gables Estates, house, 2am

Lori: *drinks coffee*

Scott: *walks in*

Lori: *lifts eyes* Where the hell have you been?

Scott: I visited a hooker and then I took a drive.

Lori: *blinks*

Scott: *throws keys onto table* Don't worry, I didn't sleep with her.

Lori: Uh huh.

Scott: *sits* We need to talk.

Lori: About what? I said Tom's name, I was an idiot, you're pissed, end of discussion.

Scott: ...It was just a mistake.

Lori: But you're still mad.

Scott: Why don't we just forget about it.

Lori: *nods* You know, your middle name's Thomas. So if you think about it..

Scott: Don't push it. *stands, walks away*

Lori: Right.

TBC..........................
 
Way to go Lori ! I knew you weren't done with him! Dumb Ass! And Mr. Scott don't htink your getten of clean ! Your as shouldn't have went running to that gutter slut Tia ! You two need to get you priorities straight ! End OF Story !

Great update Geni
 
Oh..my little boyscout! Even in the face of being called your wife's ex lover, does he maintain integrity and declines to sleep with Tia. You have got to love him for his devotion to Lori...I mean seriously...I've never seen a guy go to bat for a woman so many times...after so many indiscretions... That is one virtuous man...

Lori has managed to teeter away from the edge once more. How about....possibly just like...I don't know...stay away? It's obvious that she can't function around Tom, there's no need in testing the fire to know that she's going to ge burned...Just a thought,LOL.

Awesome update:D
 
Thanks so much for the reviews. :) Hee!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Miami restaurant, 11am

Lori: *staring at plate*

Tom: You going to finish your pancakes?

Lori: ...No.

Tom: Great. *grabs plate, dumps pancakes onto plate*

Lori: ...Do we hang out too much?

Tom: I don't know, is once a day too much? *digs into pancakes*

Lori: *leans back in booth* I don't have any female friends.

Tom: What about that chick in New York you discovered was still alive?

Lori: She's Scott's friend. I'm talking about what you and I have but with a girl.

Tom: ...There are so many reasons why that's the hottest thing you've ever said.

Lori: *frowns*

Tom: You don't get along with women, Lori. It's not your fault you're too aggressive.

Lori: *lifts brow* Excuse me?

Tom: You turn a lot of people off with your hidden weapons and cursing. Of course, I personally don't mind it but have you seen the women around here? You're about 5 boob jobs away from fitting in.

Lori: *crosses arms* Alright so what do I have to do? Maybe I should smile more.

Tom: *tilts head* You might get more guys that way.

Lori: *stares at Tom*

Tom: Hey, just being honest.

Lori: Where do women usually hang out?

Tom: *smiles, stands* C'mon, I know a place.

Lori: No hookers.

Miami Beach, hair salon

Lori: *frowns* No.

Tom: Anni comes here all the time, she says the women here are nice.

Lori: Are any of them under 50?

Tom: Yeah, quite a few. Go inside.

Lori: No.

Tom: Why not?

Lori: I'm not pink enough. And they'll want to do things with my hair.

Tom: That's the point. Get out of your bubble and meet some women your age. *pushes Lori*

Lori: Ack! *falls forward*

Door opens

Lori: *staggers in*

Girl: *lifts head* Oh ma gosh, I haven't seen you around here. Explains why your hair is so dated. *grabs Lori's arm* Let's get that fixed.

Lori: I like my hair the way it is.

Girl: *plunks Lori into chair*

Lori: Couldn't you just do a trim?

Girl: Oh no no. Honey you need some dimension and color.

Lori: Great.

Girl: *pulls bottles from shelf*

Lori: So...like...what do y'all do for fun around here? I mean, when you're not at work.

Girl: We go across the street to get our nails done. *smiles* OH! Have you been to Dusk, yet?

Lori: What is that, a club?

Girl: Male stripper club. Mm. Went to a bachelorette party the other night with 40 other girls. Didn't get out 'til 3am.

Lori: *rolls eyes* Sounds fantastic.

Girl2: *walks over* Wher do you go with your girlfriends?

Lori: ...I don't really have any.

Girl2: *looks at Girl*

Girl: You definitely need to come clubbing with us.

Lori: Right. Do you guys have any kids?

Girl: Ew, why would I want to do that?

Girl2: I once thought I was pregnant but it turned out, it was gas.

Lori: *sigh*

2 hours later, street

Lori: *walks over*

Tom: So? How'd it go?

Lori: *shakes head* Well they were physically my age, but mentally's another story.

Tom: Your hair looks nice.

Lori: Maybe I should try meeting some of the housewives around my neighborhood. They're sort of in the same boat as me, y'know?

Tom: Sure.

Lori: Right then. Let's go. *walks away*

Tom: *nods*

TBC............................
 
And there's where she's making her fatal mistake. Housewives are busy bodies that have nothing else better to do than to sharpen their bitch skills...Lori should reconsider and just stick to family,...but alas....she's going to step out on her faith... Lori can't win for losing, poor girl...Hey, at least she got a snazzy hair do out of it all...

Awesome update!
