I slid out of bed trying best to not wake Stacey's sleeping figure beside me. I quickly took a shower. Stacey had already been here a day. We had spent a little time unpacking all of her crap before we hit the town. Stacey was like a little kid on Christmas morning.

I had taken her to every place I could think of before we were both tired of walking and decided to head back to my apartment. I quickly got out of the shower and got dressed. I looked at my clock as I heard a knock on the door. It was only nine in the morning.

Stacey grumbled. "Who is it?" she asked the sleep still heavy in her voice. I chuckled. "Go back to bed, Stace. I got it," I said. I quickly ran down the hall when the person knocked on the door again. "Dear Lord, keep your shirt on," I said while opening the door.

I soon felt a familiar pair of lips on mine. God, good thing I brushed my teeth this morning. I pulled back and opened my eyes. There stood Norman, in jeans and a black hoodie, no sunglasses thank the Lord. I smiled a little at him. He cracked a smile at me as well.

"I'm sure you would prefer me with my shirt off," Norman said. I rolled my eyes and opened the door a little bit more to let Norman inside. I quietly shut the door behind him. He held up a to go carried that had three cups sitting in it. He grabbed one and took a sip of it while holding the carrier out to me.

"Caramel latte, three shots of espresso, and with extra whip cream," Norman smiled a little. I grabbed the cup and my nostrils were instantly filled with the scent of caramel. "I didn't know what Stacey likes so I got her the same thing," he said while tapping the cup.

I walked into the kitchen and placed the cups on the counter. "I actually have something for you too," I said while turning around. I grabbed the key off the counter and handed it to him. He looked down at it with a slight smile on his face before reaching into his pocket.

"So you will stop stealing mine," I said while taking a sip of my coffee. Norman finally removed his hand from his pocket and I saw him pull out another key. "You mean this key?" he asked while holding it out to me. I quickly grabbed my key ring and sure enough my house key was gone again.

I glared over at him before grabbing it. "Damn you," I grumbled while sliding the key back on my ring. "You doing anything else the rest of the day?" I asked him. He shook his head. "Good, I'm gonna pick Mingus up at the school. Then I'll see you at the bar around 3:30."

Norman cocked an eyebrow at me. "Mingus can't go to the bar," he said. I nodded. "Tonight he can," I said. Norman's eyebrows rose. "I don't understand," he said. I sighed and looked out into the living room. I didn't hear any movement coming from down the hall.

"Jordann's not opening the bar tonight because we're throwing a party for Stacey," I said. Norman relaxed a little. "That makes sense now," he said. I chuckled a little and patted him on the shoulder. "Concerned father of the year award, Norman Reedus ladies and gentlemen."

Norman cracked a smile and pulled me into him. "I guess I'll see you tonight then," Norman whispered before placing his lips lightly on mine. I smiled a little when I pulled back. "Yeah, I'll see you tonight. Prepare to dance and drink!" I said. Norman chuckled while dancing out of the apartment.

~~

I had convinced Stacey to come with me to get Mingus from school. Truthfully we needed to head straight to the bar after I got him and I knew I wouldn't have time to go back to the apartment to get her. Mingus, Stacey and I were now heading that way.

Mingus was pretty nervous and I could tell he was a little shy with Stacey around. I nudged him lightly causing him to glare up at me. Stacey was still taking in the sights around her. My phone beeped saying I had a text. "Everything is ready." The text read.

I groaned playing it off. "What?" Stacey asked. I slid my phone back in my pocket trying to seem aggravated. "Jordan said he needs me to stop by the bar really quick. Sorry. It will only take a few minutes," I said. Stacey just shrugged and I winked down at Mingus.

He already knew what was going on. Soon we had arrived and I felt like I could just scream with excitement. I wanted to tell her what was going on before I even opened the door. Mingus was in front of me and he slowly opened the door. "I hope you don't mind. I invited a couple friends."

The lights were flipped on and everyone screamed. I watched Stacey's face as at first she jumped then she broke into a huge smile as she tackled me in a hug. "Oh my gosh, I love you!" she squealed. She pulled back before running over to Jordan and hugged him too.

We started mingling with everyone. I was sipping on my beer when I glanced around the room and my eye caught something familiar. I nudged Stacey and she followed my line of vision. "MORGAN!" we both shouted at the same time. Right then she turned around.

I think we were a little shocked at first before we all ran to each other and hugged. "What the fuck. I mean how did-fuck. Where in the fuck! How in the actual FUCK!" I couldn't get the words out. Stacey and Morgan looked at each other. "Well that certainly explains the diversity of the word."

They started laughing. Obviously I had missed something. We squealed and hugged one more time before I felt a tap of my shoulder and arms wrap around my face. "Are you going to introduce me to your friends?" I heard the raspy voice behind me.

I couldn't hide the smile I felt ghost across my face. Both girls were now standing there with awe struck looks on their faces. I pointed. "Stacey, Morgan," I said. Norman let go of my waist and stepped around me to hold out his hand to them. "It's nice to meet you guys."

I watched as their smiles became wide and I was waiting on them to attack him but they didn't. They were both frozen just staring at them. "I think you killed them," I said. Norman chuckled while letting his hand drop and wrapped his arms back around my waist.

We all decided to go hang at the bar. I was standing beside Norman in his usual seat, Mingus sat beside him drinking root beer from a bottle and I'm pretty sure it made him feel pretty bad ass. We were all smiling and having a good time. Norman and Jordan were telling stories.

Suddenly the music was cut off. "I know you bitches aren't having a party without me." Stacey Morgan and I all turned recognizing the voice. "LYNDI!" we all screamed while running over to her. I think we practically tackled her to the floor hugging her.

We had figured out that Morgan had gotten a couple days off after begging for them and Jordan had flew Lyndi up from Georgia for the week. Now we were all drinking and having a good time. Every time Norman would wrap an arm around me or touch me the girls would all grin like fools.

I chuckled every time one of them would smile at us. Their fan girling was hilarious. "So now I have three fan girls staying with me. What am I doing to myself?" I said. Everyone chuckled. "Well you could always stay with Norman," Jordan interjected.

I could hear the teasing tone in his voice. "You are not helping matters right now," I said. Jordan chuckled a little as I felt my face heat up. I knew I was going to get nailed with a ton of questions tonight. All the girls were now looking at me for answers and I just shook my head.

"I thought we weren't going to discuss this," I said to Jordan. I felt my face becoming redder. Norman wrapped an arm around me and pulled me into him. "Come on babe," he said. I knew they were doing this just to push my buttons to embarrass me.

"You both suck right now," I said and then I pointed as Stacey and Morgan as I knew something dirty had just came to their minds. "Should we tell Norman?" "Tell me what?" Norman asked. All three girls chuckled. "Cross dressing," Lyndi said. I groaned. "You all suck!"

~~

I wanted to crawl in a hole right now. Any place would be better than standing beside Norman right now. "Cross dressing?" he asked Lyndi. All the girls seemed to be cool around him now. Besides smiling when he would touch me they were cool. It was probably the alcohol.

I groaned. "Can we not?" I asked not even giving them time to continue. All three girls laughed. "We have to tell him now! Because now he's curious!" Stacey said. I groaned again wanting to hide. "Payback is a bitch," I mumbled. Norman chuckled while wrapping an arm around my waist.

"Okay so a few months ago before she moved she got sick. That day we were talking about you. Well Mandy has never taken DayQuil before but soon she figured out it made her loopy as fuck," Lyndi started the story. I rested my arms on the bar trying to play it cool.

Then Morgan jumped in. "Well Mandy was telling us how it just made her crazy and she didn't know what she was doing half the time when she took it. She took it for about a week. A couple days after her taking it she was telling us some of the dreams she was having."

Now it was Stacey's turn. "Remember that little photo shoot you did in the bathroom with the makeup and like the tutu or whatever it was," I watched as Norman thought about it before smiling a little. Damn it he remembered the shoot. I watched an evil smirk come across Stacey's face.

"Well, seeing as Mandy was having crazy dreams. I decided to have a little fun. I sent her photos of that shoot just to see if she would have DayQuil induced cross dressing dreams of you," Stacey said. My head was lying on the bar at this point trying to cover my face.

Norman was rubbing my back. "Did it work?" he asked. I could hear the amusement in his voice. Of course he would egg them on. I heard Stacey chuckle. "She texted me for three days straight cussing at me because she couldn't get the dreams to go away!"

I groaned as I pulled my hood up and covered my head with my arms. They were all laughing at this point. I didn't even want to look at any of them at this point. I felt a tugging on my arms. "Come on babe," I groaned as Norman tugged my arms free.

I looked over at him. I knew my face was really red. Norman pushed the hood off my head and ran his fingers through my hair. I could tell he was trying not to laugh while looking at me. He reached his hand up to trace the blush on my face but I quickly smacked his hand away and faced the girls.

"You guys are sleeping outside tonight!" I said. They all started laughing. "At least it's not as bad as the cherry story," Lyndi said. Stacey stopped laughing and glared over at me a little. I wanted to hide again. "THAT story is not being told!" I said pointing at Stacey.

Stacey pouted a little. "What could be worse than what she just told?" Norman asked. I glared over at him. "Trust me," I said. All three girls were laughing again and I knew at any second one of them was about to spill the story. They would definitely sleep outside if one of them did.

"Well we told Mandy the first time that she sle-," I cut Stacey off by putting my hand over her mouth. "That's enough, Stacey. How much have you had to drink?" I asked. She held up her fingers signaling just a little bit but I knew better. I looked under the counter.

"Aw, hell. Okay which one of you goons gave Stacey whiskey?" I asked. I turned slowly to Jordan. He had a slight grin on his face. I growled. "You know how this makes her and you still give it to her! I should make her your problem tonight!," I said while pushing the bottle in his hands.

I pulled Stacey into a barstool and made her sit. At this point Lyndi and Morgan had went to get Stacey's cake. They brought it out and set it in front of Stacey who squealed with excitement. "Cake," she stated. Yeah, she was definitely drunk. We all sang happy birthday.

Stacey blew out her candles and we started cutting the cake. Everyone was pretty quiet after that. It was getting pretty late. I turned to face Norman who nudged me lightly. Right as I turned to him he dotted my nose with frosting from the cake. I glared at him.

"Cake," he said mimicking Stacey. Everyone chuckled a little. "First the cookie dough, then the paint, and now this. When are you every going to learn?" I asked him. Before he had a chance to answer I threw my plate with my cake on it at him and it hit him square in the face.

"Score!" I said while throwing my hands in the air. I looked beside Norman to see Mingus cracking up. I looked at Lyndi who got what I was thinking and nailed Mingus in the face with cake. Mingus cleared his eyes of the frosting. "Not so funny now is it," Norman said.

I handed him some paper towels before taking a wet cloth and wiping off the frosting. "You always seem to be cleaning up the mess off of me," Norman said while I continued to wipe the frosting off his face. I heard a chorus of "awww's" coming from the girls and I wanted to bury my face again.

Norman wiped the frosting off my nose and pulled me into him. I buried my face in the crook of his neck. "We should be heading out. Mingus has school in the morning," Norman whispered to me while squeezing me a little. I groaned and wrapped my arms around his waist.

"You're gonna leave me with these crazy people. How dare you," I mumbled against the skin on his neck. I felt Norman twitch a little and I could tell I was having an effect on him. I chuckled against his skin before removing my head and looking at him.

"Go on before I beg you some more," I said. Norman chuckled a little while standing up and keeping his arm around me. He wrapped his other arm around me and pulled me into him. "I'll see you later," Norman said. I nodded a little as Norman turned to look at the girls.

All of them had goofy grins on their faces. Before I could say anything Norman turned around and kissed me deeply. "Bastard," I mumbled as he pulled back. He smirked at me a little before releasing me. Mingus hopped down and hugged me. I ruffled his hair just to irritate him.

"Goodnight guys," Mingus followed out behind his dad. "Ladies," he said while nodding at the girls. I heard the door open but didn't hear it shut. I looked up to see Norman still standing there. "Night, babe," I felt a smile creep across my face as I felt a blush form. Damn him.

~~

We were now all back at my house. Stacey was somewhat sobering up. Morgan and Stacey were on the couch while Lyndi was in the kitchen with me. "Ready for this?" I asked her. She nodded and we walked into the living room of my apartment.

"Stacey, we have a surprise for you," Stacey's head shot off the arm of the couch and she looked up at us with eager eyes. Lyndi and I sat the small cake on my coffee table. "I didn't want to bring this around Norman though now that I think of it I should have seeing as you embarrassed me."

Stacey's eyes grew wide as did Morgan's as they looked down at the cake. It had a picture of Norman, it kind of looked like he was just relaxing on the cake, and he didn't have a shirt on. Stacey squealed a little as she pointed her finger into the icing and ran it down Norman's body.

We all chuckled as she stuck her finger in her mouth. "Delicious," she said and that sent us over the edge. We were all cracking up at this point. Lyndi and I plopped on the floor. I looked over at my clock as it reached 11 at night. For some reason it seemed a lot later.

I let my chin rest on my hands. "Well Stacey is already sharing the bed with me. You two will have to take the pull out couch until I get the bed set up in the other room, if I get the bed set up," I said. I stood up and went to the hall closet and grabbed extra blankets and pillows.

I yawned while setting them on the couch beside Morgan. "I don't know about you guys but I'm tired. So I'm gonna head to bed," I said. There was a chorus of 'goodnights.' "Wait Mandy," I turned around hearing Morgan's voice. "We have something to ask you," Lyndi joined in.

I cocked an eyebrow as if telling them to go on. I watched as smirks appeared on all three of their faces. "Is he a good kisser?" Stacey asked. I stood there for a second making sure I had processed that question correctly. I felt my face become very hot and their smirks turned into smiles.

"Night," I said while turning on my heel trying to hide my face. "It's true!" I heard Morgan shout. I flipped them off before walking into my bedroom and collapsing in the bed. Today was definitely an eventful day and it had definitely worn me out. I soon fell into a deep sleep.

~~

I woke up the next morning and groaned as the light shown through my window. I looked over at the clock as it flashed 6:30. I hadn't been up this early in a long time but for some reason my body felt well rested and my brain wouldn't let me go back to sleep.

I sighed and rolled out of bed. Stacey sleeping figure was beside me and I knew it would be a hell of a day for her. I quickly dashed into the bathroom and decided to take a shower and run out to grab the gang some breakfast. I took a fast shower and got ready.

I walked out into the living room and wrote a note telling them where I was going. I looked at my clock to see it was now 7:30. Something had to be open. I slid out my door quietly. "Hey!" I recognized Mingus's voice. "Mingus, people are trying to sleep," I heard Norman's voice a little quieter than Mingus's. I locked my door and turned around.

Norman was walking out the door not even paying attention as Mingus walked over to me. I wrapped an arm around his shoulders as I looked over at Norman who was locking his door. He turned to head out when he noticed Mingus wasn't by his side.

He quickly turned around and noticed us. "Well good morning to you too Sunshine," I said while walking towards him with Mingus. "Obviously someone hasn't had coffee this morning," I said. Norman smiled a little and bent down to kiss me lightly.

"Ick," Mingus said and I pushed his head away and kissed Norman again. "Where are you headed?" Norman asked as he pulled back. I shrugged a little. "Who knows, I just gotta find food. I know that much," Norman chuckled a little as we began to walk to the elevators.

"Will you walk with us to school?" Mingus asked. I looked down at him and he was giving me a puppy dog face. I groaned. "You know I can't resist that face," I mumbled. His face broke out into a smile and I punched his arm lightly. "Dweeb," I said causing him to stick his tongue out at me.

When we stepped out into the New York streets everything was already crazy and hectic. I slung my arm around Mingus's shoulders again as we made our way towards his school. I felt Norman's hand slip into mine as we made our way through the busy streets.

I couldn't believe it was this early and it was already this crazy. I wouldn't even be awake at this time and I was starting to wonder how I slept through this. Norman squeezed my hand a little as we cut through people. I knew Mingus had to be at school at eight.

We arrived with five minutes to spare. Mingus hugged his dad and then me before walking into the school and waving one more time. I sighed as Norman turned us around and we headed back towards the apartments. We were slower in walking back.

I felt like I hadn't seen or been with him in a while by ourselves even though it wasn't that long ago. I sighed as I laid my head on his shoulder. Norman let our hands swing between us as we walked. He laced his fingers with mine before quickly pulling me into a shop.

"Warning next time," I groaned while rubbing my head a little. Norman chuckled before pulling me into him and kissing my forehead. I sighed instantly feeling better. Norman kept his arm wrapped around me. "What are we doing?" I asked him. He gestured in front of him.

"You said you needed food. So we're getting you food," he said. I chuckled. "I need food for three hungry possibly hung over fan girls," Norman smiled. "Not a problem," I rolled my eyes. "You're not paying," I said. Norman stepped up to the counter and handed the cashier money. "Too late."
