Second Chance 5

“CARLY!” Dru yells out over the music, as she moves closer to Carly, who seems to be lost in looking at the CD case.

“UH?” Carly asks, as she looks up from the CD case in her hand.

“I think someone is knocking!” Dru firmly comments, as she takes the CD case from her.

“OKAY!” Carly yells over the music, and then walks over to the door and swings it open.

“Marshall!” Carly struggles to say, as her eyes lock onto a very blue agitated ones.

“We’re Gonna Talk!” Marshall agitatedly growls, as he walks into the house, not giving her a chance to say no, as Box follows.

“No We Are Not!” Carly tries strongly to state, feeling the effects of the Hennessy, but desperately trying to think straight, as reality smacks her in the face.

“I guess you boys don’t like Disturbed?” Dru sarcastically asks as she looks at the men that don’t seem to be in the best of moods, as she evilly turns the volume all the way up before turning it down and then off, with a innocent smile.

“Carly! I would like to speak with you alone!” Marshall firmly states, as Carly is walking over to the stereo to retrieve her drink, with him following closely.

“It’s nice to finally met you! . . . BUT WE are having a Pajama Party! SOOO if you don’t plan on getting into your pajamas. You’re gonna have to leave!” Dru quickly firmly states, as she steps between Marshall and Carly, then looks up at Box who towers over them.

“AND YOU! Take a loud off and finish this!” Dru firmly states as she quickly smiles at Box and kinda of tries to shove him towards the sofa that he is standing in front of, as she is handing him her drink.

“Hennessy!” Box comments after taking a drink, and smiles at Dru, a very spukie woman to be as small as she is, he thinks to himself.

“I would like to talk to you alone.” Marshall states, as Dru is handing Box several CD’s, Carly still frozen in her footsteps, hating Marshall for interrupting her life, but on the other hand happy that he has.

“You be DJ while I teach my friend how to breathe and walk again.” Dru quickly states, and then quickly grabs Carly’s arm, and with one of her famous smiles pulls her to the kitchen.

“Please tell me you were NOT this idiotic when you guys where together.” Dru asks, as she feels her friends shaking hands.

“Dru . . . you have to help me . . . . what do I do? He can’t find out about Madison! He’s going to kill me, he really is.” Carly totally confused pleads in a whisper, as Dru is hugging her.

“YOU are not going to fall apart on ME! You have two concerns right now . . . . Madison! . . . . . and you Sanity! NOW get your shit together!” Dru whispers, but getting her point across, by holding onto her friend tightly.

“I need a drink . . . I can’t talk to him alone . . . I can’t!” Carly radically rattles, as she slowly pulls from Dru’s hug, and grabs the fifth of Hennessy and pours a shot.

“You’ve got to get your shit together! We’re going to tell him that it’s a party and no problems!” Dru sincerely states as she watches Carly take another shot, praying the fear in her friend’s eyes, is just her overreacting.

Carly takes another shot as Dru rushes around and placing several juices, Pepsi, new glasses and some chips on a tray, and then gives Carly another one of her famous hugs, before walking into the living room, Carly taking several deep breathes and following with the Hennessy.

Dru enters the room with Carly close behind to find the men, one looking over the CD’s contently and the other with a totally agitated expression.

“We didn’t mean to take so long. We didn’t know what you guys would like with you Hennessy.” Dru comments as she is placing the tray on the cocktail table, and glancing at both men with a smile, as Carly nervously places the fifth on the table and picks up her drink and sits down in the other chair.

“I see you guys haven’t changed into your pajamas yet.” Dru quickly adds as she sits down on the other end of the sofa, and begins to mix herself a drink.

“I’m Box . . . and you are?” Box politely asks, as he moves to the edge of the sofa, and extends his hand to Dru.

“Dru . . . . Do you like it straight or with a chaser . . . Sorry this is all we have. We’re not big drinkers, and weren’t expecting guests.” Dru friendly explains to Box, as she glances over at Carly and Marshall who seem to be lost in their own worlds.

“Straight will be fine.” Box says, with a cheerful smile.

“What about you?” Dru asks as she looks directly at Marshall, sitting agitatedly in the chair.

“No thank you.” Marshall says, as he glances over at Carly then back at Dru.

“C’mon! One drink is not gonna hurt you. I swear I won’t put anything in it!” Dru jokily says with a laugh as she is pouring the Hennessy.

“Looks like you could use some loosening up.” Dru comments as she walks over and hands Marshall the straight Hennessy, and he takes it as he forces a smile.

“Now this is supposed to be a pajama party. So could we all at least look like we’re having fun?” Dru comments as she is sitting back down.

“So! Box what do you usually sleep in?” Dru calmly asks, shocking Box with the question.

“DRU!” Carly says in shock.

“What? It’s just a simple question that anyone at a pajama party would asks?” Dru innocently states, as she glances over at Carly then back at Box.

“We’re in our pajama’s . . . so they have to be! Or at least tell us what they would be wearing! So we can altleast fantasize! ” Dru defensively states, and then takes another drink.

“I sleep in the nude!” Box states trying to make Dru blush, but she doesn’t.

“My husband does too! He says it’s the feel of freedom, and that helps him sleep.” Dru seriously states, as Box blushes, and Carly shakes her head in disbelief but laughs at her friend’s straight forwardness.

“So! Is that your view or do you have another reason?” Dru asks, as Box laughs.

“Never really thought about it, but the freedom thing is dope!” Box says with a laugh.

“So what about you Mr. Mathers?” Dru asks, as she looks directly at Marshall, and he rolls his eyes, and then looks over at Carly, whose in deep thought about Marshall sleeping in his boxers and how sexy he is when he is sleeping.

“May I please talk to you in private.” Marshall sincerely asks, catching Carly in deep thought and she chokes on her drink, spitting drink everywhere, and Marshall jumps up and pats her on the back.

“You okay!” Marshall asks in concern, after a few seconds as he hands her some napkins from the tray, as Dru and Box watch in concern.

“I’m fine!” Carly says, as she wiping her mouth and looks up at Marshall, then over at the other two.

“You never answered the question.” Dru states after a few seconds, as Marshall is sitting back down.

“Boxers! I sleep in boxers!” Marshall agitatedly states, knowing if he doesn’t answer she’ll just keep bugging him.

“NOW! That wasn’t hard was it?” Dru sarcastically states with a smile, as Box laughs at how agitated Marshall is getting.

“Did you decide on the music?” Dru friendly asks Box who still has a couple CD’s in his hand.

“What about a variety? Like the radio?” Box suggests, and Dru happily gets up and begins to play with the radio.

“I can’t take it anymore! Please! You have to quit staring at me! Marshall I have something to tell you. This in no way changes a thing. Please Believe Me, You don’t have to do anything. I don’t want anything from you.” Carly thinks in her mind as she feels Marshall crystal blue eyes on her, as she nervously keeps sipping on her drink.

“Carly I want to apologizes for the way I acted the first time around. I’ve changed. Please Please Carly you have to give me a second chance Please Carly you’re the only woman for me; you’re the only woman I’ve every wanted. GOD Please Carly just let me talk to you! I have to know who the little boy is . . .” Marshall thinks to himself, as Box joins Dru at the stereo, trying to help find a happy middle ground.

“Okay People! We have to liven’ this party up or I’m going home!” Dru states very loudly, bringing Marshall and Carly quickly out of their thoughts.

“Please do!” Marshall agitatedly comments to himself with a smile, but notices Box threatening “Be Nice” expression.
