Our Hearts in Two. (CHENRY )

-II-

Swellview- Mancave

Henry ran around pulling and rearranging balloons and banners all arround the mancave room.

"What the_ no no Jasper that's not right. Pull it higher and where the hell is the cake?"

"The girls are not yet back with it."

"What? That was hours ago. What is the hold up? I'm calling them" he said pulling out his phone

"Wow wow wooow! No you're not" Ray pulled the phone out of his hand and ran to the other side of the room behind the couch.

"Hey. Give that back."

"No."

"Ray give the darn phone back."

"Not until you calm down."

"I'm calm"

"No you're not. You are all over the place. And you are making us all tense."

"No, you are all doing it wrong. How hard is it to get a cake? The banner, put it straight but let it ripple a little at the bottom." He started firing. "Get the gold and silver balloons but I got gold and white. And that writting looks like fowl scratch. Who did that? Do I have to do it all myself?" 

"Hey I put a lot into those" Shwarz protested.

"Son, it's just Charlotte."

"That's the thing. It's not 'Just Charlotte'. It's 'Charlotte'. She notices everything. If it looks wrong, she will notice it. It has to be perfect."

"Henry, calm down" this time Jasper tried talking him down.

"I AM CALM," he exploded. Jasper, Schwarz and Bork took several steps away from him with their hands in surrender.

"Ok come here," when ray got close he tried reaching for the phone but Ray held it away and wrapped an arm arround his shoulder before sitting him on the couch while he stood behind him. "Look you need to cool it."

"I am calm," he insisted but ray ignored it

"You know she will be happy with what ever we do. Even if it's just Ragin' Red Rhubarb frittles."

"We are not getting frittles, Ray."

"What? Why?"

"It's all about her favorites today. Not yours"

"But everybody loves frittles," when Henry started to protest, he held a hand up and stopped  him, "The point is, You need to stop stressing. You did a good job here."

Henry sighed as he sagged into his seat "I just want it to be perfect. I want her to love it"

"And she will trust me. You put everything she loves together. Even the food."

"Especially the food," Jasper empharcised and they all laughed.

"She does love her food." Henry smirked " ....but what if her likes changed then this will all be a waste." He started panicking again " take it all down. This is a bad  idea " he tried to get up but ray pushed him back down by the shoulders. 

"Heeeeey, now slow down. They haven't changed. We talked to her all the time. But then, If this all goes down, which it wouldn't, then there is the weekend at the beach. She is bound to love that." 

"Your right,"

"I know I am."he boasted " See, all good," 

"But let me make one last call  to just make sure_" he scrambled over the back rest to take the phone but ray ran away again.
