Truth Unrevealed

Cate alarm goes off at four like every morning.

She groans when she hears and pushes the snooze button.

"Is there any great way to wake up at four in the morning?" Cate asked.

"I can think of one thing." Ryan said as he started kissing her neck.

"Let me go brush my teeth. I can't have morning sex with morning breath." Cate gets out of bed and slips on her house shoes before walking into the bathroom and turning on the light.

She screams when she sees Baze peeing.

"What are you doing here?"

"What does it look like? I'm peeing. Can you shut the door?" Baze asked.

"What's going on!?" Ryan asked as he walks up to Cate.

He soon frowns when he sees Baze.

"Did you sleep here again?" Cate asked.

"Again?" Ryan asked.

"Yeah. Lux, Harry, and I started binge watching tv shows and movies we lost track of time." Baze said as he flushed the toilet.

"What's for breakfast?" He asked as he touched Ryan shoulder without washing his hands.
***********************
"Looks like Baze made himself at home." Ryan said as he look at the mess all over the kitchen.

"What are you doing up so early?" Cate asked Lux.

"Bugs hearing is today."

"Wait you're not going to school?"

"No. I want to be there for Bug."

"Baze stays the night without asking." Ryan continues.

"You need to go to school Lux."

"He raids our refrigerator, he walks into the house without knocking, overstaying his welcome. What else is he going to do Cate? Get both of you arrested with Lux and Harry around? Oh that's right, he already did!"

Lux looks at both Cate and Ryan before grabbing her clothes and going back up to the attic.

"Ryan I know. I know how you feel about Baze, I get it."

"Am I asking for too much!? I just want a little bit less of Baze in our lives. Does that make me crazy?"

"No. It makes you like the rest of us." Cate pecks his lips.

"What are you doing up so early?" Baze asked Jamie as he walked into the door.

"Didn't sleep. Looks like you didn't either. Up top." Jamie smirks.

"It wasn't like that. I stayed the night over at Cates. Lux, Harry, and I got too caught up in tv."

"Dude! Ever since you've become a dad you haven't got laid. You use to be the king of meaningless hookups. And now you're turning into Math."

"I take offense to that."

"When was the last time you had sex? And I'm not talking about your ex girlfriend. I'm talking meaningless sex? The last time I did was twelve hours ago."

Baze looks at Jamie. He was contemplating if he should actually tell Jamie or not.

"Okay but you can not tell Math. Cate."

"Sixteen years ago doesn't count."

"No. A month ago. The night after Lux and Harry's hearing."

"Dude! Do you have a death wish? Cate?"
