The Girl's Kitchen
The girls (everyone excluding Carter) live in a four -bedroom apt , each with their own bathrooms. They share a kitchen, dining room, den and a balcony.
LaBree: Hey w.e you're cooking surely smells good
Raven: thanks here taste ....getting a spoonful for her to taste
LaBree: barbecue sauce?
Raven: yeah It's mongolian barbecue sauce putting the spoon in the sink
LaBree: oh interesting ....so what's up
Raven: not much puttting everything on low how are you and your boo...
LaBree: we're good but I'm scared we are moving too fast and i've been keeping my distance from him , focusing on school work and all that..
Raven: let's go into the den , now have a seat
LaBree: really!? laughs
Raven: now a wise girl once told me to take the emotion and use the emotion and don't let the emotion control you
LaBree: dammit I was that wise girl okay Madea ..let me hear it ...
Raven: you're running from him because he is what you've been waiting for. You have been hurt, used and taken advantage of and become pessimistic about things, and you were always the one who said you will never going to get married.. the last one to have kids. You let these niggas, break you down.. Niggas!. Now you have a man .....Carnell came around and swept you off your feet and now you don't know what to do, now I know ya'll haven't been together for long..but a blind man can see that ya'll love eachother. So don't run away from him. You will only be hurting yourself.. tell him how you truly feel about him...
LaBree: what if he doesn't feel the same way
Carnell: feel the same way about what
LaBree: damn.. Pasian got to start locking the door .. folks think they can just walk in here like they live here
Carnell: umm you left your notebook at my house so I decided to bring it to you and my mom made me some banana pudding to share with you since you liked it so much
LaBree: aww tell her I said thanks and thank you for bringing it over
Raven: I'm going to leave you two alone
LaBree: Hey Rae it's your time to do the same winks
Carnell: so what was it that you got to tell me
LaBree: how you know we wasn't talking about somebody else....
Carnell: makes his really nigga face don't play me
LaBree: ok well you know the heart already knows and it just takes the heart longer to process it
Carnell: baby, my brain has had enough today I clocked out before I got out of class
LaBree: but everytime I try to say it words they only complicate it ...
Carnell: take a deep breath and say it ... look me in my eyes too
LaBree: looks in his eyes then closes hers I love you
Carnell:kisses her I've been waiting on you to say that
LaBree: but it's only been a few weeks
Carnell: love doesn't have a time limit .. my mom felt it too ...she told me before I wanted to accept it. You can continue to fight it ..just know that you're going to lose
LaBree: I thought you clocked out? shut up and kiss me
Carnell: kisses her
LaBree: It's my nap time you want to sing me to sleep?
Carnell: scoops her up of the couch and carries her to her room
LaBree's room
LaBree: my pillow smells like yo big head....
Carnell: and my jacket smells like you
LaBree: you could wash it you know ..anyways I got a question
Carnell: don't you always
LaBree: hush up...do you and your brothers talk about us
Carnell: yeah we do and then we don't .. Bryan tries to act all tough, Kelly is chill, he's pretty much an open book, Dustin , wears his heart on his sleeve and Patrick tries to be all secretive but I know he sneaks off to see Pasian
LaBree: laughs
Carnell: so you know?
LaBree: yup snuggles closer to him ..lays her head on his chest and hold his left hand with her right..and put her right leg in between his ..
Carnell: places his chin on top of her head and sings Can You Stand the Rain (New Edition) until they both fall asleep.

Raven: I've been keeping something from you well the only person that know is LaBree.. I decided to tell you before we go any firther so it won't cause any problems later on...
Kelly: I'm listening switches positions on the couch to get comfortable
Raven: well takes a deep breath I have a daughter but I only get to see her on weekends that 's why I usually go home.. It's complicated and heart breaking you see.. her father sold drugs and is now locked up.. Me and my mom fell out when I was pregnant and since then I really couldn't take care of her so his mom has custody of her
Kelly: wow , how long is her father in for?
Raven: 25 yrs I believe, there were other charges
Kelly: so I wouldn't have to worry about running into him do you go visit him?
Raven: no not really ..we weren't together he just happen to be my child's father
Kelly: oh ... so you've been keeping this a secret and do you try to talk to your mom
Raven: yeah but she's evil...
Kelly: laughs well I appreciate you telling me this .. I really do .. but since you kept this a secret and I see it bothers you ... I think you should try to free yourself from your pain and as far as us goes... I will be around.. I'm here for you if you need to talk and If we are meant to be we'll be together grabs her hand let's wait awhile smiles then caresses her chin
