Cheryl and I walk into the living room where Aunt P and a businessmen are going over some papers laid out on the table. 

"Mother. Strange man I've never met." Cheryl greets them. 

"Cheryl, this is Mr.Lazenby, our estate attorney. You're father, as it turns out, left a secret will." Aunt P explains. 

I roll my eyes as Cheryl scoffs next to me. "Of course he did. But Daddy died months ago." 

"And Mr.Blossom's instructions were to reveal the existence of his will only after the authorities had concluded their investigation into his side business." Mr.Lazenby says. 

"You mean drug dealing?" Cheryl asks with pursed lips. "Does this mean we're gonna be rich again?" 

"Oh, Cheryl don't be so gauche." Aunt P shakes her head. 

"Per Clifford's instructions, he requested I withhold all information, including the names of his numerous beneficiaries, until a public will reading. That's tomorrow afternoon." Mr. Lazenby informs us. 

So the drama continues.

"Ugh, she's a nightmare." I hear Toni's voice coming from Cheryl's room after Aunt P walks out. 

"Isn't she though?" Cheryl says. 

"Be glad you don't live with her." I say as I walk through the doorway. 

"Trust me, I am." Toni says. 

I look back and forth between them, waiting for someone to tell me what's going on. "Are either of you gonna explain what's happening here?" 

"I invited Toni to the will reading." Cheryl says. 

"When did you two even become friends?" I ask. 

The look at each other and then back to me. "It's kind of a long story." Toni says.

"Oh. Well, I'm glad you invited someone because I invited Reggie." I say to Cheryl. "Anyway, I came in here to ask your opinion of my outfit." I say and do a spin. 

"Perfect. I've taught you well." Cheryl smirks. She turns to Toni, "Why don't you go try this on." 

Toni takes the shirt and walks into Cheryl's bathroom. "So..?" I ask in a teasing voice. 

"So what?" Cheryl asks. 

"You and Toni. When did this happen and why didn't you tell me?" I ask offended. 

"Tell you what?" She asks. 

"That you like her." I say in a 'duh' voice. 

She fake scoffs, "I do not like her. Besides she's your ex."
