How charitable of you

"Goddam it. The gas bill's later. No wonder its freezing in here" Fiona sighed as i noticed Steve grab the note from the flowers out of the trash, " Fiona, thanks for a night ill never forget. Tony" Steve read

"Give me that" she said snatching it away from him, "Who the fuck's Tony?" Steve asked looking at her

"You hooked up with Tony?" I asked looking at her, "How charitable of you" Kev added smiling at her

"Wait, Tony the cop? That Tony?" Steve asked as she glanced at him before looking back at the bulls, "Yeah. And we had a nice time, ok?"

"Right"

"Tony's sweet. And he has a real job" Fiona added as Kev snored as if he was asleep, "Sorry, i fell asleep when you were talking about him. How long was i out for?" He asked as Lip laughed a little

"Lip, phone?" Fiona asked putting her hand out as Lip tossed the phone to her, "What exactly does "hooked up" mean?" Steve asked

"Last time i check, penis goes into vagina" Kevin said turning back to the toaster, "Wow" Steve chukled

"No. Okay? We're gonna have oatmeal this morning. Go get the hotplate" Fiona sighed taking the bag of chips from Debbie

"Jesus, you sure didnt waste any time, did you?" Steve scoffed looking at her as she tossed the bag of chips into the trash with the flowers.

"I think i can see my breath" Ian shivered, " We need $58 or they wont turn the gas back on" Fiona spoke up

"I'm taking the PSATs for some Polish kid over in Ridgedale. He's supposed to give me a hundred bucks" Lip spoke up holding Liam

"I saw online that we could get an extra $200 a month from the state.. if we say Carl's retarded" Debbie spoke up as Carl made a weird noise

"I get paid Friday" Ian spoke up, " i can always help, i mean im over all the time anyways" I spoke up

"No, i cant ask you of that, Aurora" Fiona spoke waving me off, "Come on, Fi, let me. And if you dont ill give you money anyway's, I'm here all the time and i have no use for it anyway. My mom puts almost a thousand on my card ever week. And i'm not asking if i can, im telling you im gonna" I shrugged as she sighed

"Only if you want to, i dont wanna pressure you" she said as i smiled, "Dont even worry about it" i said as she came over and hugged me

"School. Let's go. Everyone out" Fiona called out as she looked at the clock, "I can also always loan you money unless you wanna get it from Tony the cop" Steve spoke up

"You're still here?"

"Pay me back or not. Doesnt matter"

"You're gonna be late. Go. Everyone out" Fiona spoke handing the kids their bags as they left

"You too. Out" Fiona said pointing at Steve who was pouring himself coffee

"You know, i could borrow a couple grand from you Steve and not pay you back" Kev said as i leaned over grabbing some toast from him

"This a rebound thing with Tony?" Steve asked looking at Fiona, "None of your business"

"Does he know the only reason you fucked him was to get back at me?" he asked as she stopped what she was doing and turned to him, "Get out"

Lip walked into the kitchen looking at, "Dude, you're such a rookie. Is that your A game? Rory, you coming?" he asked looking at me as i sighed, "I guess"

"Bye, Fiona, have a good one" he called walking out of the door as i followed, "Ro !" Kev called as i smiled, "Bye, Kev, have a good one" I said turning and leaving

"Oh. Thank you" Lip smiled at Karen as she passed him the fake id, before she came over and hugged me, "Oh! Hugging okay, we're hugging"

"His focus is math and he wants to get into the National Merit Society" I reminded Lip once Karen stopped hugging me, "Got it"

"Also we told Richie that your rates went up, so he's giving you 150" Karen added, "You guys are good" he smiled kissing her forehead and then mine, bitch what.

"See you in three hours"

"Ill be out in two" he called back

"So Ro, wanna hang out?" Karen smiled looking at me, i didnt hate her, she was nice, Lip was just giving me mixed signals right now and i need to be alone

"I cant right now, but later" i smiled at her before turning and leaving

Dressed in ripped jeans, a dark blue hoodie, and convers, i was sat behind the bar bored, Frank came in a few minutes ago somewhat entertaining me

"What do you think, Kev, Ro?" Frank asked not looking up from his paper, "I have no idea" Kev shrugged

"Its "Joker" Fiona and I said at the same time, "Where the hell is Aunt Ginger, dad?" she asked walking over to us

"And hello to you too, my first born" he spoke not looking at her, "Can i get you something, cop-lover?" Kev joked looking at Fiona

"No. Dad, does Aunt Ginger live in Wisconsin?" Fiona asked as he finally looked at her, "That's what ive told you, right?" he questioned as i leaned against the counter entertained

"Then why was a woman from the Social Security department at the house saying that Ginger cashes her checks in Chicago?" she asked as Frank faked surpirse

"Ginger's in town and she didnt call me? After all ive done for that woman?"

"Oh, shit, Frank" Kev started, "You're cashing the checks, arent ya?" I asked looking at him

"What?" he asked looking at me

"Do you know how much trouble you're gonna be in?" She whispered looking at him, "Why all the sudden interest in Ginger, Fiona? Now that you know there's money involved, you looking for a little handout? Well, that money is mine. I'm the one whos taken care of Ginger all these years. I call her every week. Hell, I've even visited her" he ranted looking at her

"Good. Then you can go get her and bring her home with you. Cause that Social Security lady will be here in the morning with a federal agent to interview Ginger" she explained before turning and leaving

"Fine" he shrugged blowing smoke out of his mouth, "Fuckity, fuck, fuck, fuck" he sighed grabbing his stuff and leaving, but forgetting the bag of food he stole from the house this morning

I chuckled as Kev grabbed the bag inspecting it
