"Okay guys! What do you want on your veggie burgers?" Maddy asked proudly, as she stood making dinner on her stove.
"Veggies?" TK replied sarcastically. Before Maddy even turned around, he added more "uhm.. lettuce please." Maddy smiled to herself as she walked over to get some lettuce out of her fridge.
"Lettuce for me too, kiddo... please." Owen added.
Maddy turned around, "and do y'all want baked potatoes or French fries?" Maddy couldn't cook per se, so she tried to make things that were easy and quick. "Also, there is a correct answer, and it's fries!" Maddy laughed.
"Then fries it is!" TK laughed as he approached her in the kitchen and rubbed her back. Maddy stuck out her cheek, and TK kissed her dimple gently.

"Wow Mads! They were actually so good!" TK said as he wiped his mouth with his napkin. Owen smiled, "yeah.. kiddo. Very good.""Thanks guys! Glad ya liked it!" Maddy smiled.
"Okay, so Teek! I have a sort of surprise for you!"
"Oh yeah? What is it?" His eyes widened with curiosity.
"I'm gonna teach you how to drive my car!"
"Really?" TK chuckled. "That'd be cool! Thanks Mads!"
"That way if you offer to bring it around for me, you actually can!" Maddy winked.
"Don't be smart!" TK smacked her ass as he proceeded to walk outside.
"We'll be right back Owen!" Maddy said. "Hopefully both of us, and with my car intact," she winked at Owen before she joined TK outside.
Maddy unlocked her car, and got in the passenger side. She motioned for Tk to get in the drivers side. "Parking lot is kinda empty in the back corner there.. so we're gonna try to stay in here. Okay so, far left pedal.. that is the clutch. Foot to floor with that shit, then start it. Take your foot off the clutch, and hold the break. Then put the shifter in the first gear, see the one.. the move the top of the shifter towards that. Take your foot off the brake. As you release the clutch.. gently!.... Okay... Press the gas. Once you release the clutch completely, you should now only be pressing the gas. Yay! You're in first gear! Okay.. Now just build speed until you feel the need to shift into second. To switch to second, take your foot off the gas while also pressing the clutch. Then just move the shifter into second gear. Release the clutch as you apply the gas again... there you go boo! You got it!"
The two spent nearly an hour driving around Maddy's apartment complex parking lot, TK carefully shifting through the gears, listening to Maddy's instructions.
"Oh, okay! Not too hard at all!" TK smiled as he pulled over to let Maddy drive. "But how about you park it?" He chuckled. "I don't really wanna jack it up on a back up."
"Ha! Sure babe." Maddy and TK switched sports and Maddy quickly backed her car, that she lovingly named Pepper, into her area of the parking lot and then into a spot. "Wanna stay over, or are you staying with Carlos?"
"Hmm.. I stayed with him last night, I can spare a night for you." TK winked. "Just gotta text him and let him know."
Maddy and TK walked back inside, to find Owen sitting back on the couch, eyes closed, and Tex on his chest. "Oh my god.. that is adorable!" Maddy said, as she gently elbowed TK, who gently smiled at that site. "Oh, I'm staying over by the way," he said.
"Oh yay!" Maddy smiled. She walked towards her fridge, while TK went to the bathroom. She got out a bottle of water, and left it on the counter.
She quietly walked over to her arm chair and sat down. Just as she did, Owen stirred and looked over at her. "Hey kiddo. How was the driving lesson?"
Maddy chuckled, "TK did great!" She winked at Owen as she caught TK walking out from the bathroom, wearing grey sweatpants and a white T-shirt. He walked over and sat on Maddy's lap. Owen moved and Tex jumped off his chest, and walked over to her food dish. "It's 9:30 kiddo, I'm gonna head home." Owen smiled at Maddy, who pinched TK's ass to get him up.
"I'll follow you out, Owen! I'll be right back Teek."
"No problem.. I'll be here!" TK said as he flopped down on Maddy's couch.

"Thanks for coming daddy, O! I always love when I can spend time with you and Teek!" She smiled.Owen smiled back, "me too kiddo." He pulled Maddy in close, and kissed her forehead. "You're a great kid Madison.. I just can't thank you enough for everything you do for TK, and uhm.. me."
"Awh, daddy O! Of course.. Tyler is my best friend, and you're basically my dad.... I love you both, so much."
Owen kissed her forehead again before walking to his car and driving away. Maddy smiled as she turned to walk back inside. She smiled when she saw TK laying on the couch, and Tex was sitting in her bed under the table. "Hi handsome," Maddy said as she leaned down to kiss TK's cheek. His eyes shot open, and he suddenly grabbed her face—Maddy laughed as TK kissed her nose. "I'm tired boo." He said.
"Me too.. bed? Or watch a movie till we fall asleep?"
TK sat up the whole way, and rubbed Maddy's back, "hmm...movie!"
"Sounds good to me! It's your turn to pick too!" Maddy said as she walked toward her bedroom to change into her lounging clothes.
———————————————————————
Maddy came back wearing one of Tim's T-shirts that barely covered the shorts she had on. She grabbed her water from the counter next to the fridge, and walked over to the couch and wrapped herself up in her red fleece blanket as she cuddled up next to TK. He wrapped his arms around her, and Maddy crossed her legs over his and covered him with the blanket."'Happy Gilmore' babe?" Maddy laughed. "Okay, okay.. I'm cool with it."
"Good!" TK smiled before kissing her cheek.
Maddy felt herself warm up as she cuddled even closer, TK pressing play on the blue ray player.
Tex joined them on the couch. "Thanks for teaching me stick Mads," TK said as the movie started.
"Oh my gosh, it was no trouble at all! I just assumed you knew how, since ya said you did." Maddy chuckled.
"Yeah, yeah.. I still gotta try to impress my best friend."
"You're ridiculous," Maddy said as she shifted herself to look at her best friend. "You don't have to impress me! You know that.. you just like to show off." She winked.
TK poked her side, causing her to giggle as she squirmed away from him, "hey!" She said. TK laughed as she playfully smacked his chest. "Maddy, I'm trying to watch the movie please." He smirked.
"Wowwwwww.." Maddy smacked his chest again before laying her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes.
