The Way We Were

The Way We Celebrate Marcy PT2

Marcy jumped on her toes.

"Calm down, Moppet." Marc yawned as he threw down the paper he'd been halfway perusing.

"I can't! I can't wait for her to get here!" She went to the window at the airport.

"They'll be here as soon as their plane gets in." Marc stood up to stretch.

"It's not fast enough!" Marcy turned from the window and stomped to a seat.

"Karou's going to be here as soon as possible." Marc had elected to pick up Karou, Joey and India from the airport when they announced that they'd be getting in earlier than other family for the party the next day.

"I'm just glad she agreed to have our parties together. We'd have missed each other."

"When has she not agreed with you?" He tossed her a look.

She smirked. "So we agree a lot? You agree with Joey on everything."

"That's because he's smart."

"Because he agrees with you?" She laughed.

"Yeah." Marc walked around the space to stretch his legs.

"Flight 319 has landed." A woman's voice came over the loud speakers. "Flight 319 has landed."

"Yes!" Marcy popped up.

"Calm down. It'll still be another twenty minutes."

"Ugh!" She plopped down and rolled her eyes. "I'm hungry."

"Yeah, me too. We should go out to dinner."

"You don't want to go home and eat?"

He came back and sat down. "Why make Mrs. Parks work?"

"She probably already cooked."

"Nah. I want... I don't know. I just want something that sticks to your ribs."

"You always want stick-to-your-ribs food. It's all we eat with Mrs. Parks."

"I'm so glad Dad got a housekeeper who knows how to cook meat. No offense to Momma but we ate like bird people before."

Marcy laughed. "Birds eat meat, loony bin. Worms are still meat."

"Then rabbits!"

She threw her head back and laughed. "We don't eat like rabbits."

"Not now."

She checked her phone. "You're a right mess. I don't know what Laura sees in you."

"She said something about me?" He elbowed her gently. "What she say?"

"I thought she was too stuck up and bossy?" Marcy teased.

"She is." He said quickly. "But she is hot and that kinda levels the playing field a bit."

"I'll be sure to let her know that." She said dryly.

"Don't tell her I think she's hot. She'll take it wrong."

She raised a brow. "Take it wrong. How on Earth is she going to take it wrong? She's going to think you want a relationship?!"

He burned. "Why you say it like that?! I could want a relationship!"

"No, you don't!"

"Yes, I do!" He argued.

"No, you don't!"

"Yes, I do!"

"No, you don't!"

He sighed. "Well not right now!"
