"what?" lip said as i laughed.

"what's happening?" i asked as taylor smacked me as payback.

"go take a rolling fuck on a flying doughnut!" debbie shouted back.

"hello?" they heard a voice say.

"holy fuck." i said seeing who it was.

"i come in peace." ford said.

"oh, fuck, no." fiona said.

everyone got up from their seats and debbie grabbed a knife and they walked over to ford.

"i just want my tools back." ford told them.

"what tools?" fiona asked.

"oh, i think i'm looking at a tool right now." taylor said.

"my carpenter tools. they're missing." ford said.

"well, why would i know about that?" fiona asked him.

"come on, fiona." ford replied.

"what, you think i just wondered on to your site and picked them up out of your truck or something?" fiona asked him.

"maybe." ford replied.

"or maybe i came into your house in the middle of the night and i watched you sleep for an hour and then i just took them on my way out." fiona said.

"do you have them or not?" ford asked her.

"no. you egotistical fuck! i haven't thought about you in weeks!" fiona said.

"we thought about you, though." debbie said still holding the knife she picked up.

"guess i'll be going, then." ford said nodding his head.

"yeah. damn straight you'll be going, cause next time, i won't stop them from beating the shit out of you!" fiona said.

i didn't hear the rest of the conversation since fiona followed ford outside.

lip turned to me and pulled me in for a kiss and i hummed into the kiss.

"you sure you don't wanna come to this thing?" lip asked me.

"harry wouldn't give me off for the afternoon." i told him letting out a sigh.

"really? not even for a cancer run?" lip asked raising his eyebrows.

"harry's a real dick." i said as lip chuckled and i grabbed his hands.

"but, i'll be seeing you later for my reward." i said before lip smirked and pulled me back in for another kiss.

i went over to my car and i saw taylor was there and i looked up at her.

"hey, you need a ride somewhere?" i asked her but she shock her head.

"no, i just had a question." taylor said as i raised my eyebrows.

"uh, shoot." i said getting out my car keys from my bag.

"well, i couldn't help but notice that shiny little ring on your finger." taylor said as i looked around.

"okay, you can't tell anyone." i began as her face lite up.

"oh, my god. you and lip are engaged!" taylor said as i shushed her.

"keep your voice down!" i told her.
