Celina walks to the kitchen. "So, what's the occasion, Dave? Why are you throwing a barbecue party all of a sudden?
David just smiles. "We have been busy a lot lately and we haven't bond together since Charlie and Amie's wedding. I miss hanging out with my friends."
Amie glances at her friend. "We miss you too, Dave!"
"Don't tell us that you have a girlfriend now! Are you seeing someone new?" asks Patricia.
Jack, Paul and Charlie join the girls in the kitchen.
CJ goes downstairs while talking to Kimberly over the phone.
David does the fist bump with Jack. "You're the man!" Sees CJ.
CJ walks to his brother. "Look just don't expect, okay?"
"You did tell her and she said no?" David in a low whispering voice.
"I'm not sure if she's coming." CJ tells her brother and goes to her friends.
David sighs.
"What's wrong, Dave?" asks Charlie.
"Um nothing." David looks around. "Um excuse me guys. I'll just go upstairs." David walks away and goes to his room.
Ken and Jade arrive at David's house.
"Where's the host?" asks Ken.
"He's upstairs," answered Celina.
Francois, David's personal chef arrives and Maria entertains him.
After a while David's friends gather at his pool patio and talk about their high school craziness.
"David's such a bully during high school!" says Patricia. "Remember the crazy stunt he did in the middle of a football drill?"
"He is such a dope!"says Celina.
"I only bullied those people who deserves it" says David. He glances at his sister.
CJ gives her brother an eye signal telling him that she still got no response from Nicole.
David changes his mood.
Ken walks to David and taps his shoulder. "Are you okay?"
David starts to feel annoyed and grumpy. "I'm trying to be." Refills his glass with whiskey and then takes a shot of Tequila.
"Isn't it too early to get drunk?" asks Ken.
"Let's get this party started." Tobie connects the speakers to his laptop and starts playing an old school song from Black Eyed Peas.
Charlie's talking with Francois about some cooking tips.
Shelley and Regina start dancing and Jack joins them.
Jade lifts himself out of the pool.
CJ's friends gush over Jade's Greek Goddess physique.
"WTF...he is so hot!!" Isabel blurted.
"Hello everyone!!!" Clifford shouted as he walked closer to his friends.
David looks at Clifford.
Clifford raises the bottle of Hennessy. "I brought H with me."
David looks around and then sees Nicole walking towards the pool talking with Wayne, Clifford's fiance and Torrance.
Jade sees Torrance. "Guess who finally showed up!!"
