"Rich it's just one dinner and that will keep her off my back for a while." Eddie tells Richie turning away from the oven to look at his boyfriend who is sitting on the barstool across the kitchen from him.

"Uuuhhhh but she fucking hates me. She always has and now that you divorced Myra and moved in with me it's even worse." Richie responds dramatically putting his head down on the table.

"Richie I know you and my other don't get along hell even I don't get along with her most of the time. But she lives on the other side of the country and we don't have to see her often she just here visiting my aunt so one night isn't going to kill either one of us." Eddie tells him walking over to punting his hands on Richie's shoulders.

"I think I'd rather take another chance with the clown."

"Don't be dramatic" Eddie tells him swatting at his arm

"at least he acknowledged that I was gay and in love with you" Richie says kissing him "she still calls us roommates and bluntly tries to get you back with Myra or tells you about these other women who would be great for you, all while im right there." He contuses grabbing his ass and pulling Eddie in fir another kiss.

"I'll make sure to kiss you more so you feel loved and included" Eddie laughs kissing Richie

"I like kissing you at this level I don't have to lean down" Richie mumbles against his lips

"Fuck you "he tells him swatting him on the shoulders stepping back laughing "it's not my fault you are fucking giant you have no reason being that fucking big"

"Never heard you complain before "Richie says walking by and Eddie smacks him on the ass. Richie turns looks at him then scoops him up over his shoulder and directs them towards the bedroom. Eddie yelping and laughing in surprise.

"I can't believe you left a fucking hickey on my neck and where I can't even cover it up" Eddie say looking in the mirror. Richie mmmes when he enters the bathroom and wraps his arms around eddies waist and puts his chin o his shoulder. "What are you 14?" Eddie says looking at Richie through the mirror and finishing buttoning up his shirt.

"Mm maybe now shell get the hint now that you're mine" Richie tells him nuzzling into his neck.

"You're ridiculous" Eddie says turning around "I thought you were getting ready?"

"I am!"

"you don't even have pants on" Eddie tells him " just go get dressed im going to go make sure everything is fine with dinner"

"Yea ok" Richie says and kisses him once before shoving him out the door.

"And please just fucking put on the tie!" Eddie yells before heading down the stairs

About 30 minute later the doorbell rings just as Eddie is putting the food back in the oven.

"Here rich set the timer for 30 mins I'll get the door" Eddie tells him heading down the hallway and opening the front door to be greeted by his mother and aunt.

"Oh aunt Rosa I wasn't aware you would be joining us tonight." Eddie says with a forced smile leading them down the hall where they meet up with Richie as he comes out of the kitchen.

"Oh Eddie sweetie I wasn't aware your roommate would be here tonight." Sonia says with a fake smile in Richie's direction

"Mother we've been over this. It's Richie's house he's going to be here and were not roommates. Were together in a relationship" Eddie tells her hand slicing through the air

"Technically it's our house babe" Richie tells him plating kiss on his cheek "dinners still going to be a little bit so Livingroom?" Richie ask holding a bottle of wine and some glasses. "Sonia wine? He asks "im sorry I don't think we've met Im Richie Eddie's boyfriend" he tell Rosa sliding his arm around eddies waist

"Oh um..." she stares at them for a moment the whispers to her sister "you didn't tell me Eddie was a homosexual" Sonia stutters in anger

"Here Edward I brought your favorite meal it juts needs to be heated then we can start dinner" Sonia tells him ignoring Richie

"Mother we've fixed dinner and it will be ready shortly there was no need for you to bring food."

"I just want what's best for you. I just want you taken care of. I worry about you you know ever since you and Myra have taken a break I just worry you're not getting taken care of" she tells him trying to step around the towards the kitchen

"Oh I'll take these "Richie tells her taking the containers of food from her and into the kitchen dropping them onto the counter.

"Mother were divorced not on break you know this. Here let's just go into the living room and I'll go check on dinner and get you guys something to drink" Eddie leads them to the couch and heads into the kitchen where he finds Richie standing at the bar taking a shot

"Are you doing shots?"

"Hmm? Oh yea. Want one?" Richie asks smiling in his direction

"Fuck yes. It's only been like 15 minutes and im already ready to just abandon the house and run" he says taking the shot kissing Richie and heading back to his mother an daunt.

Richie joins them in the Livingroom informing them that the food will be done in about 10 minutes as he sits down beside Eddie slinging his arm over his shoulders

"Eddie bear I just don't think you look healthy. I don't think living out here is good for you. Im sure if you talked to your old boss you could get your job back in new York, you'll be closer to me and maybe you can work things out with Myra she's very sweet and understanding im sure shell forgive you for this mistake" she says looking at Richie

"Hmm mistake that's one of the nicer things I've been called" Richie mumble to himself

"Mother im happy here im not going back. I've come a long ways" Edie is tells her

"You've come a lot of ways" Richie laughs and Eddie elbows him

"I don't love Myra, I hated that job and New York is fucking gross. I love Richie and im actually really good working with cars," Eddie tells her as the timer on Richie's phone goes off

"Foods done let's eat "Eddie says changing the subject and heading to the dinnngroom as Richie goes to get the food

Dinner goes over about as well as you'd expect with aunt Rosa making semi offensive comment and Richie touching Eddie or mentioning that he loves im whenever he could and Sonia making no less than 8 comments about how hard she worked on that mea and they didn't even serve it. After dinner is finished Eddie walk his aunt to the bathroom to show her where it is. As Richie start to clean up the table. Sonia walks over to the counter where her containers of food are and proceeds to tell Richie ill just put these in the refrigerator so Eddie can have a good meal he'll loves the next couple of days. Richie fed up with it all and tired of keeping his mouth shut walks over to where she is at the refrigerator and puts his hand on the door shutting it before she can put the food in and leans in close to her

"Listen I know you think you know Eddie best but lady I suck his dick I know what he likes and this ain't it so take your fucking left overs home and let Eddie be a fucking well capable adult he is." They stare at each other Richie daring her to say anything different but she too shocked to get out more than a stuttered uh. They are still standing there when Eddie returns.

"Everything ok?" he asks as he looks at them

"Everything's great" Richie smiles at him "well it was great Mrs. K can't wait to do it again" he tells her. "Eds everything is put away and cleaned up ill meet you upstairs in the shower when you get done here babe" Richie kisses him as he walks by heading upstairs. Leaving the three din the kitchen staring in confusion, disbelief and shock.
