Home for Christmas

Chapter Two

Wow talk about hectic Scarlet thought as she sat down at her desk but she liked it...she strived on hectic. Just then Jason popped his ever-colorful head though the door "Hey boss, staying for the party tonight?" "Yep" Scar said smiling." Is Mr. Macho coming?" Jason asked laughing. "No he isn't" Scar replied trying to sound very casual about it. The last thing she needed was a pity party over her breakup. But before Jason could say anything her phone rang. "I don't want to talk about it" Scar said absently as she grabbed the phone off her desk." Well if you need me I'm always here" he said but she wasn't paying attention and he left. She is always there for everyone especially him and he wanted her to give him a chance for him to be there for her as a friend. "Dr. Blair speaking" Scar chirped sweetly into the mouth piece. "Hey it's Sapphire, just calling to remind you about dinner. You didn't forget did you? Oh come on you did - didn't you? Don't tell me you're still mopping over Lee, that bastard doesn't deserve you! "Oh my God, talk about an earful, keep your panties on I'm coming but I'm gonna be late. Okay?" Scar tried to console her ever exaggerative bestie. "Good...oh Scar Matt's best friend Alvin is back in town and he will be over for dinner as well...Scar? But Scar had already hung up. "Sapphire Olivia Jewels!" Matt looked at his wife accusingly then smiling warily "Don't you go playing cupid on Scar and my unsuspecting pal Al. They are coming over for dinner not to plan their wedding. Your best friend has had enough with relationships for the time being. She needs your support and not a display of you matching making skills!" "But Matt, Scarlet and Alvin are perfect for each other! I just need to get them in the same room and before you know it they will be head over heels in love...you'll see. Well just don't stand there! Go call Al and see if he's still coming. I didn't cook all this food to feed you alone!" Matt signed and went obediently to the living room to call his friend leaving his wife mentally going over her plan – Mission hook Al and Scar up...pronto. He suddenly felt sorry for the godparents of his children. They won't know what hit them....
