Flowers in the Heart

"Dude, we ain't even out the driveway and she's telling me she ain't putting out and she ain't sucking dick and I ain't getting no feels," Glen complained to Scott.

"Dude what you expect?" Scott smiled as he put on his dress shoes.

"I expect a LITTLE something, you know?" Glen complained.

"Did you get a kiss good night?" Scott asked and straightened up.

"Well, yeah, but..." Glen said.

"More than you got last week, huh?" Scott said and punched his brother's arm.

"Yeah but, didn't cost me nineteen dollars either," Glen said.

Linda hurried down the hall, putting on her earrings.

"Come on, you two," she barked.

They got into the mini van and good naturedly bickered back and forth as they drove to church.

"Come on, Scott, no mushrooms; I hate mushrooms," Glen whined as they solidified their plans to order pizza after church.

"Pick them off, God, you big baby," Scott smirked as they got out of the van.

"I hate mushrooms too," Jenna said and smiled up at Glen.

"Hey, Fauna said, smiling up at Scott.

"You like mushrooms?" Scott asked her and she hesitated.

"They're okay, but I can live without them," Fauna said.

"Three against one; you're not getting any mushrooms," Linda said, smiling to the two girls. "Hi, I'm Linda Boudreaux, their big sister."

"Whatever," Scott rolled his eyes. "Then why you keep making us call you 'Mom,' huh?"

"Because you need some manners," Linda said and pinched Scott's arm.

"Come on; it's cold out here," Jenna demanded, taking Glen's arm and dragging him to the church.

"Mom, this is Fauna; my girlfriend," Scott introduced the two.

"You're what?" Fauna asked, mouth opened in shock.

"My, um, my girlfriend, I guess," Scott stammered.

He thought to himself that Fauna was extremely hard to understand. Very loving, very affectionate, then freezing when he put his hand on her leg. Showing up at church for the late Mass when she said she went to the earlier one, then getting upset when he introduced her as his girlfriend.
