"What did you just say? You did what?!" Conrey squawked with excitement in an attempt to ensure this was real and not one of those drunken visions she normally has.
"Would you just be quiet? Trent here, was just telling me and Sebastian about this dream he had about him and Liz." Felicia came to the rescue with a steady tone and modest lie. "Isn't that right boys?" She nods at them.
"Si mama, just a dream." Sebastian confirmed the lie.
"She's right, it all felt so real. But, I was drunk off my ass last night so my dream got a little crazy." Trent added keenly.
"Well if it were just a dream why the hell were you guys acting so damn secretive a while ago." Conrey queried with narrowed eyes, now shooting daggers at the lying trio.
"It's because we know how you are when it comes to secrets, especially embarrassing ones." Felicia opined.
Looking at them all, obviously a bit hurt Conrey says softly in her defense, "I can keep a secret."
"Really mama? Because when you're drunk off your cute little ass, you're quite the trouble maker. And you're tongue is very active."
"He's right Conrey. Remember that time you ruined my chances with that cute waitress?" Trent said.
("I heard Trent got caught watching porn at his grandma's house, last year.") -"What a creep!"
Trent whines "And she was super-hot too."
"Or that time you came stumbling in all drunk to one of my family sessions." Felicia reminisced.
("I heard Felicia shat up herself in eighth grade after eating some bad meatloaf.") -"I think our family could work this out ourselves."
"That was one time! And the Fernandez's were major clientele. Which other family has a daughter who needs session 5 times a week because she fears breathing too hard?" Felicia projects outraged.
"Or that time you ruined my eighteenth birthday party by telling my parents... well you know."
("I heard that Sebastian had sex with a guy, and liked it!") -"The party is over. Get out my house all of ya!" - "Papa", young Sebastian cried. "I ain't your Papa, you're no son of mine."
Making the best of what happened Sebastian heartwarmingly spoke, "Well at least he eventually accepted the fact that am bi."
"No he didn't. He just died." Felicia refuted
"Like twenty minutes after he said that, he had a heart attack." added Trent
"Okay, okay I get it. I'm horrible at keeping secrets. I guess am slightly less perfect than I already am." Conrey admitted conceitedly. Now pledging like a girl scout, "But I swear on Sebastian's dad's grave, I won't tell Jack about Trent's dream. I wouldn't even mention it."
"Good, because the last thing I want is for the gang's first get-together in a while end up in shambles." Felicia added sternly.
"Is there a dress code for this evening? I wanna wear something that screams slut, yet sophisticated slut", Conrey says with thinker face and finger on chin.
"So, you're gonna show up topless with an expensive necklace on?" Trent suggested.
"That might just work." Conrey considers honestly.
"What? NO! Keep your tits in their mitts, we're going to Vantage Point, and I don't want to be thrown out or arrested for public indecency", Felecia retorted.
Sebastian queried, "Vantage point? Damn mama, how'd you get us reservations there? Weren't they booked solid 'til like 2020 or something?"
"Yeah, I heard they're so fancy that you have to tip at least $100 for valet parking alone", Trent added.
