After All This Time I'm Still Into You

So we went to all of our rooms to unpack.I was in my room putting my clothes in my closet when Marcus knocked softly,on the open door"Its open stupid"I said smirking"I know but I wanted to make sure....we're cool"Marcus said.I looked at him and smiled"We're cool Marcus..just forget that ever happened"I said putting my undergardments in my top droor"I dont want to forget...ever"Marcus said.I looked at him and my heart cracked seeing his face was so sincere...I sighed and hugged him"I'm trying Marcus...I'm trying to start over with you.Lets take it one step at a time"I said kissing his cheek.He was surprised but smiled"Okay..."he said making me giggle"Dresser is yours..just stay out of my top droor you perv"I said as I walked down stairs and saw the ladies already starting on dinner"Hello sexy ladies!"I said smirking as I skipped over and hugged them both"Why havent you called lately?"Deanne asked crossing her amrs"My job
...I've got all summer off...Im sorry"I said honestly.Deanne and Sally smiled"How could we stay mad at you?You were the one who hooked us up back in the day"Deanne said laughing a.We hugged again.I then heard video games being played"What up with the video games?"I asked"I dont know we were never inside like this ugh, kids"Sally said"I know we always had a blast..we got into so much trouble as kids"I said smiling"Thats because you always walked us into trouble"Deanne said"But we had a laugh about it afterwards"I said giggling"Yea...yeah we did"Sally said.. Marcus came down"Hello ladies"Marcus said"Hey Marcus"We all said,he smirked then walked out"So what do you think about him after all these years?"Sally asked smirking.I sighed smiling"He's still pretty good looking..pretty hot...but I'm taking this one step at a time because I dont want to let my love for him out and then I get hurt again.I just cant handle that again"I said watching him sit down with the guys"So hang out with'em"Deanne said"What?"
I asked confused"Go on.You still got game show him what he's missin out on"Deanne said smirking"You think i'd work?"I asked
"Of course it would"Sally said smiling.I smiled back"Alright...I'll go change"I said and then did just that.I changed into a tanktop and shorts with flipflops.When I came out the girls were squealing sayin I was hot.I laughed with a flushed face"Ladies please..thats highly inappropriet"I said smirking as I took a towel and some lotion"Gonna use the 'ol can you help with my back trick?"Sally said smirking"But of course"I said in a french accent.They laughed as I walked outside to the guys"Hey what are you guys up to?"I asked but avoided that question"Jess what would your dad do if you were inside all day?"Eric asked"Uh...I dont know..I was never inside..I used to stay out so long my Dad would have to drag me inside and I'd have a hissy fit...but I'd say he would probably kick my butt for being a blob of nothing indoors.Throw me outside and all.i was an only child guys, you know that but I managed to have the time of my life outside"I said looking up at the sky...from the towel I was laying on"I cant take it anymore"
Lenny said"Hey will Roxanne be mad if I tan infront of you?"I asked"Nah,go on you're a sister"Kurt said.I smiled taking my shirt off and started to apply sun block but when Marcus saw I was trying to reach my back myself he got up"Oh geez why didnt you just ask?"Marcus said taking the bottle"I didnt wanna ask"I said blushing"Well I can get it just lay down"Marcus said.I sighed but on the inside I was smirking.Marcus began to massage my back and shoulders.I smiled happily"Feel better?"Marcus asked"Mmhm"
I said smiling but frowned as he pulled away"Heyy"I said opening my eyes"Your back is covered"Marcus said patting my head as he went back to his chair.I glared then layed my head down but five minutes later, I heard the video games stop, and the kids being drug outside.I sat up and watched "Alright,no more video games, no more cell phones, no more texting.From now on,while we're here stay out side and play"Lenny said"What are we supposed to do?"Said Greg,his oldest son(he's 13)"Just play like normal kids come on!Move it!"Lenny said.Kurt and Eric got up to get their kids.I sighed"I have no kids to worry about"I said to Marcus and Robby"Jess its okay to be alone-""Shut up Robbie"Marcus and I said in unison.Marcus and I shared look.I sighed"Besides..Im just waiting for...something to happen"I said getting up and walking to Lenny"Did he even catch your drift?"Lenny asked quietly.I shrugged"Was he really drinking the coffee this morning?"I asked dully"Uhh nope"Lenny said smiling"Well by the time we're done here...he WILL choose me over boose"I said"Good to know" Lenny said but I gasped and hugged his arm"Lennyy help meee"I said desperately"Ok, I'll get him to try harder" Lenny said smiling
"Thanks"I said hugging him"I'll get the other guys in on it too" Lenny said"You're a good best friend"I said smiling"Its no problem
little buzz.We're all rooting for you and Marcus to get together again,come with us for a hike"Lenny said smiling"Well..okay"I said pulling my shirt back on and we left(Roxanne's pov)I glared at Jessica leave with the guys"How come she only wants to be around the boys?"I asked jealously"She's trying to get Marcus to change and be with her again.Don't worry about it she's only got eyes for Higgins"Deanne said"Yeah Jess and Marcus have known eachother the longest.They were hot and heavy for 4 years but Marcus chose beer over her and one day Jess had enough...on graduation day particularly..and so she broke it off...they were both heart broken..this is the first they've spoken in 30 long years.
Jess is trying to whip him into shape"Sally finished"Oh my,the poor girl"Gloria said.I watched her laugh with Marcus"Alright...I
trust her"I said with a light smile(my pov)"Hey Greg when we were kids your Dad used to talk us into the craziest stuff.I remember one time,we uh got our shower curtains put them in shopping carts and went shopping cart sailing"Kurt said"I remember that!I took pictures of that!They're in my scrap book!"I said laughing"How'd you steer?"Andre,Kurt's son,asked"We didnt" Eric said"We just smashed into something.That was the fun part" Lenny said"Fun for me to watch"I said smirking"Hey guys remember when we used to shoot bottle rockets at eachother?You always go for the guys face cuz u wanna blind the-OUCH!"I punched Marcus in the arm and looked at the kids then back at him"Oh,kids dont do that.It was stupid we were stupid, erase, reboot"He then made his own version of a rewinding noise"Look make a treee fort.I'll get you started"Lenny said picking up a big stick"Rob lived in one of those things for a year"Eric said"Why?" Greg asked like that was stupid..which it was"My dad took my rollerskates"Rob said angrily"Uh-oh. Vietnam flashback"Marcus said.I couldnt help but laugh at the face Marcus made when Robby glared at him.I looked up and gasped"Guys look!"I said excitedly.They looked and saw it too...a rope tied to a tree"Sweet baby"Lenny said grabbing it"You know what that means"Eric said"We get to hang ourselves?"Charlotte(Kurt's daughter) asked
"Are you kidding me?You see a rope on a tree infront of a lake and that doesnt make you go nuts?"I asked surprised"No.It's gross"Donna said"Oh my god......girls"I said looking at Marcus"I like girls"Marcus said smiling"Oh thats so cool you like to have sleepovers with them too dont you"I said smiling as I walked over to Lenny"Oh come on I didnt even do anything"Marcus said"Whaatever"I said bored"So who wants to go first?"Lenny said changing the subject"Oh I will!" Eric said.He took the rope and went on a rock higher then the ground we were on and swung but when we were all telling him to let go, he didnt and came swinging back,let go,hit a tree, fell into a bush and fell to the very bottom of the hill"Oh that had to hurt..come on"I said but Eric crawled out with what looked like a bone sticking out of his leg"Ew!"I yelled getting sick. That was disgusting"Its a stick!I got you all!"Eric said.We laughed"Daddy that bird is hurt!"Becky pointed out.I gasped at the bird trying to fly but failing"Somebody
go get a shoe box"I said as Lenny and I went to the bird"Hey there.Relax shh"I said petting it gently.It calmed down. Robby came with a shoe box.We all took it home to nurse it.Later in he night we all went out to a nearby lakeside resturaunt to eat.We ALWAYS came here to eat as kids"Hey Lenny remember we would come here late at night in highschool after we got wasted" Marcus said.My heart jolted.I looked at him and kicked him from under the table.He yelled in pain"What's wasted?" Donna asked
"Nice goin...Wasted is something that happens if you have a hankering for iceceram"Lenny said.I hid my face in my hands holding my laughter"I wanna get wasted!""I wanna get wasted every night of my life!"Charlotte and Donna said"I wanna get chocolate wasted"Becky said.I kicked Marcus"Ow!It slipped!" Marcus said"You just have no filter do you?You need to watch what you say around the kids do you understand that at all?Can your freakin brain process that this kind of talk is not cool"I said"I will I promise..Im sorry" Marcus said.They all nodded forgiving him.I sighed but then our waitress came up"What'll ya have?"She asked"Ok lemme make this easy, we'll have 18 burgers and 18 fries and that'll just be for me what are you guys having?"Eric said laughing.We laughed"Heres my credit card.Guys I'm buying"
Eric said"You dont have to do that"Lenny said"Im not gonna have any ha,burgers.I'll take some meat loaf,some calzone,but put the maranara sauce on the side,uh some corn,either on the cob or whatever you have"Mama Ronzoni said"What are you going to the electric chair?"Marcus asked.We all laughed accept Ronzoni
"What?"She asked confused"No he's just kidding Henry the 8th"
Lenny said.I almost spit out my water laughing"She's eating for 2.
Her and Toe-bo cop"Kurt said.We all laughed again"But Mama,
they do have Bunyon-Rings if you want some"I said.Lenny busted out laughing"That was good"Lenny said highfiving me"That was really good.I give you props the girls got game"Marcus said.I smirked"I'll take a flat water...Vass"Greg said"What?"The waitress asked"Or Fiji if you dont have Vass"Greg said"Anythings good"
Lenny said"Yeah we have out of a foset"The waitress said"Like a hose?"Greg asked disgusted"Tap water"The waitress said"What country is that from?"Keithie asked.I dropped my head"Lenny....
brother..your kids have been locked away in lala video game land too long"I said"I know...trust me I know"Lenny said.Then out of no where Kurt started speaking Chinese.Rita,the nanny exchange student as Lenny says spoke back"Im sorry what?"Deanne asked jealously"He says they have the best burger in town here"Rita said"Since when did you learn to speak Chinese?"Deanne asked
"Oh its just something I picked up watching a Chinese cooking show"Kurt said"Maybe you should focus alittle less on the talking and alittle more on the cooking"Deanna said smiling.Sally,and I laughed.Kurt looked away angrily"He got told"Ronzoni said"You got toe"Kurt said and we all laughed hysterically"He comes back"
Lenny said"Mommy can I have some of her milk?" Bean,Eric's son,
pointed directly at me.My eyes widened and I blushed"She'd have to be a mommy first"Marcus said.I glared at him.Lenny and the guys shook their head"Idiot"Lenny mumbled"Hm maybe I'd know about that if a certain jerk didnt screw it up all the time"I said getting up"Where you goin?!"Marcus asked worriedly"To the bathroom!"I said irritated and walked off(Marcus' pov)I had my foot in my mouth"You know...its seriously hard to help you out... when you make yourself sound stupid all the time"Lenny said"I know...should I talk to her?"I asked"Uhh duh?"Deanne said.I nodded"Right"I said and got up going after her
