"No, I haven't seen her. Maybe she went to go rent a Barney video or something," Kay cracked.

"Kay thats not funny..." Miguel was doing his best to stick up for Charity, but these days it was so hard to. Charity seemed so distant, so far away...like there was something horrible happening to her. No, Miguel pushed those thoughts from his mind. If there was something troubling Charity, she would always come to him and talk about it. She would never keep anything from him. Never.

"I honestly don't give a shit," Kay snapped. "Actully, I'm pretty sick and tired of hearing about Charity this, and Charity that-" she stopped herself. She was getting a little bit too carried away with herself there, and worried she may end up saying something she'd regret.

Miguel sighed. "Kay, what is with you lately? I know you care about your cousin Charity, so why are you acting this way towards her? You act like she's done something to you,"

Kay knew that she wasn't going to get anywhere with Miguel tonight. No matter what, he would never believe that his sweet Charity could do anything wrong, and there was nothing she could say to prove otherwise.

"You're right Miguel, I guess I'm just a little bit upset over that math final, I think I did horrible on it and my parents are going to kill me for sure,"

"Oh, ok," Miguel let out a sigh of relief. "Hey, since Charity isn't back yet...maybe...you would uhh...want to rent a movie with me or something? It's a little too late to go shopping anyways,"

A big grin lit up Kay's face, "Why I'd love to Miguel,"

She took his arm, and practically dragged him out the door towards the nearest Blockbuster.

"Yo' Kay," Chad greeted her. "Whatcha and Miguel doin' here tonight? Where's Charity?"

"Charity...uhh, got a bit sidetracked," Kay replied, thinking of how she would have the whole night to seduce Miguel now. Eyeing Theresa she smugly asked "Where's your loverboy Ethan now?"

"He's at the mansion filling out some paperwork," Chad told her.

Kay raised her eyebrow at Chad "Um, I was talking to Theresa of course. Chad is there something you're not telling us?"

"Oh...uhh, umm, no of course not! Where would ya get an idea like that in yo' head?" Chad stammered trying to cover his tracks.

Just then, Miguel came back with a stack of action movies. "Yo Chad, hey Sis!" Turning to Kay he asked "Do any of these look any good to you?"

Kay wringgled her nose at the action movies, not quite what she had in mind for a night of seduction.

Noticing the movies Theresa carried in her hand, Kay asked her what movies she had rented.

"Well, I chose this movie called 'The Many Wonders Of Fate' and Chad's getting 'Nothin' Matters But Love, Yo!'," Theresa told her.

"Sounds like some classic titles," Miguel rolled his eyes. "Kay and I were just going to go over to her house to watch the movies, would you like to join us?"

No! This isn't working into my plans at all. I need to get Miguel alone, and how can I with those two idiots trailing along? Kay thought to herself, losing what little hope she had left.

Charity lay on the cold, stiff bed, eyes closed tightly trying to block out the memories. She thought Miguel was probably wondering where she was, he never would have even thought in a million years that she would end up in a place like this. It wasn't possible, they had their whole future planned out together, but people change and move on from their old habbits.

She kept telling herself that, but why couldn't she believe it?

Uh oh, here comes Julian again...ready for another round of games.

Maybe God just doesn't want me to be happy Kay thought to herself, sinking into her own self-pity once more.

"Kay, why don't you go put these movies in the VCR and I'll make some popcorn," Miguel requested, heading into the kitchen.

She was in such a gloomy daze, she didn't even really seem to take in what Miguel was saying.

"Kay?" Miguel turned his head and asked again.

"Yeah ok,"

Chad could tell something was wrong with Kay that evening, it showed in her voice. She didn't sound as confident and sure of herself as she usually did. So when Miguel entered the kitchen, Chad took it upon himself to ask what was wrong, him being the "love expert" that he was.

"Kay, you don't seem quite like yoself tonight. Is somethin wrong?"

"Everythings fine," Kay snapped. "Why does everyone keep asking me that? I'M FINE!"

"Yo, yo, I was just askin', no need to get all boiled up or anythin, yo! Not that you asked for my opinion or anythin-" Chad began.

"You're right, I didn't, so-"

"Yeah, so like I was sayin', I have this feeling, and let me say this is only a feeling, yo, so I could be totally wrong, but I think you have da hots for Miguel..." In the midst of his rambling, Chad did not see Miguel walk into the living room just then, with a big bowel of buttery popcorn in his hands.

A cocky grin flashed across Miguel's face "Who has the hots for me?"

Chad's voice turned to panic. "Hey bro, it ain't me, that's for sure! I'm not that kinda guy, yo!"

"Are you sure Chad?" Theresa innocently asked, thinking back to the conversation at Blockbuster.

Chad was starting to get angry. "I'm sure, yo! Don't be getting ideas like that in yo' head, my reputation could get ruined!!"

"Sorry, sorry," Miguel laughed. "So, let me ask my question again, just who has "da hots" for me?"

"Oh, just some slut," Theresa grinned.

Kay flashed her a look of a thousand knives.

Miguel shrugged, looking a bit disapointed. "Oh, ok, well let's get the movie started then,"

Chad movies close to Kay and whispers in her ear, "Yo', come in the kitchen, I needa to talk to yo...it's about Miguel,"

Kay got up and announced, "I have a craving for some nachos, so I think I'm gonna go in the kitchen to make some, Chad why don't you come and help me,"

"Sure, why not," Chad agreed.

"Aah, yes," Julian licked his lips. "Eve. She was quite a fiery one, I do believe. I can almost taste her after all these years," Julian became lost in past memories while Charity began to hatch a plan.

"I was just wondering, what would TC do if he knew about you and Dr. Russel? Something awful could happen to you..." Charity said in her most innocent voice. "And we wouldn't want that to happen, would we?"

Kay tried to avoid the question. "Why would you say that?"

"Yo, I'm not blind. I can tell these things by the way you look at him," Chad said in his best "love expert" voice.

Kay got defensive. "So what if I do? I've only known him like my whole life!"

"Ya, but he's wit yo cousin Charity," Chad pointed out.

"That doesn't matter, and if you even think of telling Miguel, I will spill all your secret desires to none other than Whitney, and she will laugh in your face! You know that..." Kay let her voice trail off, nothing more needed to be said.
