Kenzi was still fuming over Rose Productions shoe horning Brittany Williams into her movie as she burst back into the apartment. She has spent the majority of the day fighting with agents and trying to reach Christina Millar without success. As she walked in and slammed the door behind her the scent of the food caught her attention and immediately her mood began to change. The smell of the special meal that she had been promised by Alex made her irritation fade by degrees…and the promise of spending some real quality time with her would make her feel 1000% better.
She called out to Alex, “HEY BABY! WHERE ARE YOU?!”
Alex smiled as she saw Kenzi walk on through as she slid a pile of freshly-cooked pancakes onto a plate.
Alex: Soooo...today is Shrove Tuesday. If you're British, like me, that also means Pancake Day. So, voila! Pancakes! I've also bought some syrup, some jam, some fresh cream...Hannah had a few, she's resting. She gave herself a bit of a tummy ache, poor dear.
Alex then looks down as if to notice what she's wearing; an apron over a plain white t-shirt and jeans.
Alex: I did start this whole thing in just an apron...I didn't expect you to be out early or Hannah to still be in. It got awkward and I put on some clothes.
Kenzi felt a pang of jealously at the mention of Hannah, but after Alex explained that she had dressed more appropriately for her…that made her feel much better. She almost felt guilty for feeling jealous over her roommate, but this was war and Alex was the prize. Sure, she was winning at the moment, but Alex hadn’t been shy about expressing her interest in Hannah, which Ken understood. Hannah was a certified hotty…but Alex belonged to Ken now and that was the end of it. She had disposed of Alex’s nice letter to Hannah, just to make sure that the letdown hurt as much as humanly possible. It was the only way for a woman to properly mark her territory…short of peeing on her. Alex probably wouldn’t go in for that…so this would have to do.
Kenzi grinned, walking over to Alex and giving her bedroom eyes as she did. “So…you telling me that Hannah got to eat your delicious…” Kenzi gave her bottom a firm pat, “…pancakes before me?” Kenzi leaned in close to Alex and licked her lips playfully, “I’m not sure that I like the thought of that.”
Kenzi plopped down in the chair and doused the stack with a healthy smattering of syrup. “Nothing to do but show you that I can eat it…WAY better than she can!” Kenzi smiled deviously at her rather torrid wordplay as she playfully licked at the dripping syrup, getting it on her pouty lips before slowly pushing it into her mouth.
Alex looked on at Kenzi's supposedly seductive display and shrugged. She just wanted the pancakes...for now.
Alex: I'm glad you're feeling better. Brittany certainly doesn't take any prisoners, does she?
Alex didn't wait for Kenzi to respond. The DDT Brittany had scored on Kenzi had done away with most of the good will Alex already had towards the youngster, but she still didn't like this conflict, especially with someone as young as Brittany was. Alex was far from a veteran and even she had ten years on the girl.
Alex: Don't forget. We've got to train and you're going to be put on the Alex Yin regimine now. That means, a yes to unhealthy food.
Alex flips the pancake.
Alex: But, compensations. Until Rising Stars we are up and dressed every morning before five a.m. We run ten miles, then breakfast. We spend a morning in the gym, then lunch. Gymnastics, swimming, dinner whilst reviewing old tapes, an hour or two of relaxation and then bed at 10. Sound good?
Kenzi arched her eyebrow at Alex. “Errr…NO! Well…the bed part is cool…but not any of the rest! I mean…have you SEEN Nicky Silver?! She’s a big fat COW! I need to eat and lay around crying about my wasted youth so I can get fat and disgusting like she is! I’m going for an Oscar here!”
Kenzi shoveled in a mouthful of pancakes, dropping all pretenses of trying to be sexy after being reminded of Brittany and Nicky. “Crystal…or Christina…or Miss Millar…WHATEVER SHE CALLS HERSELF…she might have forced her nappyhaired vagina gutter rat down CTN’s throat for this movie, but I have ZERO intention of letting that go! Raheem is working on getting that bitch dropped on the cutting room floor…but on the off chance that she can’t…I got a plan for that as well! One way or the other…she’s getting cut the hell OUT!”
Kenzi fumed, right back to being just as angry as she was when she first walked in.
Hannah walked in, rubbing her eyes. “What’s all this yelling about? You guys fighting?”
Kenzi dropped her fork, her face turning slightly sour for a moment, then she got up and walked over to Alex, throwing her arms around her with a grin. “Hardly! Al was just letting me know about all of the time we were going to have to spend together…now that we are a couple…in and OUT of the ring.” Kenzi grinned and kissed Alex on the cheek.
Hannah stared at the display, her reaction unreadable. “Yeah…I got that. You guys need me out there? Not too sure how cool EMF is going to be with you two after what happened on Sunday night.”
Kenzi let Alex go and gave a dismissive wave. “No…don’t sweat it…I’ve got plans for that! The perks of being a movie star! Trust and believe that your girl and your girl’s girl will be in good hands by the time Rising Stars rolls around!”
Alex wanders over and gives Hannah a hug. A hug that was (probably) platonic.
Alex: It's sweet of you to offer, Hannah-nana. I think we can handle it. I'm sure you'd be very good at fending off any intruders, but we're not here to take any unfair advantage.
Alex looks over at Kenzi, for a moment slightly judging, but the better side of her just lets Kenzi be.
Alex: Besides, I won't have you get hurt on our account.
Alex leans back against the counter, pushing her leg against a wooden chair.
Alex: I'm sure you're coming along nicely as a wrestler, though. Kenzi clearly is more focused on her "method acting", trying to look like Nicky, who I always thought was athletic looking rather than fat. Ken, I still expect you to be up bright and early to train. I'll set your alarm and hide it so you'll have to get up.
Alex sticks her tongue out, playfully. This might be Al and Ken's first lover's quarrel but is so friendly and borderline passive-agressive, it might be the friendliest fight in history. Alex turns to Hannah.
Alex: I'm sure you'd love it! Get some fresh air, build those muscles! Do you want to join us?
“NO! Absolutely not!” Kenzi cut her off, with a fair amount of aggression in her voice. She stared at the surprised looks on the girl’s faces, then swallowed as she managed a small smile. “I meant…no…there’s no need for you to be out there with us. Especially since I’ll be really focused on…on bonding with my partner…in this match…” she paused, looking at Alex as she added with a coy smile, “…and in life.”
Hannah was slowly beginning to pick up what Kenzi was putting down. After she had no-showed the dinner the other night, things had gotten intense with Alex. She hadn’t meant for it to happen, but it had and she felt terrible about it. Despite her feelings, she was doing her best to move past it…but Kenzi throwing it in her face didn’t help. Hannah sighed and shook her head as she turned to Alex, “Ken is right…you guys need to just focus on each other. You don’t need a third wheel out there mucking up the works.” Hannah started to pat Alex on her shoulder, then thought the better of it when she saw Kenzi narrow her eyes. Instead, she walked over and plopped down on the couch.
Kenzi looked over at Alex and grinned, “It’s settled then! You and I start tomorrow…bright and early!” She grinned, leaning forward as she batted her eyelashes, “But the alarm clock won’t be needed…I think you know how to get me up and going.”
Hannah grabbed a pillow and slammed it over her face, doing her best to drown out Kenzi.
For a moment it seems that both girls are about to speak up, but Hannah quickly closes her mouth before she can stick her foot in it. Kenzi hops up and bounces over to meet Alex’s mother. She smiles brightly as she leans in and hugs the woman, “Hello Ma’am…I’m Kenzi! It’s a pleasure to meet you!” Kenzi stands back, putting her hands behind her back as she smiles, hoping that she has made a good first impression.
She stands aside, “Come on in…have a seat and let me get you something! Pancakes…something to drink maybe?”
As Mrs. Yin walks in, Hannah walks over and sticks out her hand. “Hello, you can call me Hannah. I live here…with Kenzi…” She paused, realizing how odd that sounded, “…we don’t sleep together here though! I mean…I sleep here…I do…here…” She began to panic, “I sound like a crazy person! I’m a roommate…just a roommate.”
Kenzi looks at Alex, unsure of how to answer that question. “Well…my mother…she kinda doesn’t know about us.” When she sees the look of surprise on her face, she elaborates. “Not that I didn’t tell her…she’s just in a coma. She got hit by a car a few months ago…”
Kenzi looks at Alex, unsure if she should say more or just leave it laying out there.
Susan just looks around in shock as the three young women all look around each other, not knowing how to react.
Susan: I am so sorry to hear that, dear! I am so sorry that I just went and...sorry...so, I hope you've been keeping my little bundle of joy happy over here in America. We always find ourselves missing her back home.
Susan hugs Alex again. As kind as Alex is, even she is looking rather embarrassed at this point.
Kenzi waves her hand at Mrs. Yin, “It’s okay…my mother is a terrible person and I am pretty sure that she hates Alex…so it’s cool.” The shocked looks on everyone’s faces cues Kenzi in that she might have been better off just letting sleeping dogs lie.
She claps her hands together, as she exclaims, “WOW! Talk about a buzz killer, huh? Old Sleeping Beauty isn’t even here and she is making things awkward! Why don’t we change the conversation, shall we?”
Kenzi led her to the couch and sat down right beside her. “So! Did Al tell you the big news? Our little Alex is about to become a BIG movie star!”
Susan: Alex? A movie star? I don't recall you wanting to be an actress.
Alex just looks up at her mother and blushes.
Alex: I'm not particularly good at it, Mum. Kenzi asked, I accepted. It's about one of my colleagues. We're doing a film about her life story and Kenzi is playing her.
Susan: Oh, isn't that lovely!
Alex: Yes. I guess it is.
Alex felt a twinge of guilt about the whole project, given Kenzi's vendetta against Nicky Silver. Someone Alex had no problem with. Hopefully, Nicky wouldn't take Alex's involvement to heart. She fakes a smile.
Alex: I only hope we make a film that Nicky can be proud of.
Kenzi leaned over and hugged Alex, “TOO SWEET!” Kenzi turned back to Susan, “I’ll do what I can…but I think it will be pretty easy for me since Nicky and I are so much alike…well, except for the fact that she’s really fat.”
The look on Susan’s face tells her that calling Nicky names wasn’t the way to endear her to the idea of dating her daughter. Kenzi changed directions again, “Alex is a lot better than she says she is. As a matter of a fact, she has the hardest role of all…she’s playing twins! And not so very nice ones at that!” Kenzi snorts, “I think she’s kinda hot when she acts all mean.”
