My creative thread ...

[lammy]

Jake rolled his eyes after they all left the kithen and let out a big sigh .

" Boy ... these kids really need some dissapline . " He laughed . " Now

what am I supposed to do with this mess ? " Jake looks around in the

kitchen and didn't know where or if to begin cleaning what his employees

had left behind . " Hey guys ! "

Tim was still in the shop . " What boss ? "

" I have invited Jim , if that is okay " , shouted Jake .

Tim threw his hand up . " Yeah boss ,that is fine ... no problem . "

Tim left the shop to join the others while they sat waiting for him in

Rolands car .

" Jim you can go now . Take the rest of the day off to get ready for

tonight " , says Jake raising his two dumbs up winking he then lets out a

snorts with his laughter . " Cause I know I have to get ready . "

Jim dropped everything and ran out the door leaving another

mess for Jake to clean up .

" Great " , exhaled Jake scratching his head . All Jake's employees had

now left the building and so Jake began thinking about what he would

wear on his trip . He turned the lights off in the shop and locked the

door . Jake headed towards a clothing store near his house called

" Lucky's Place " . On his way to the store his employees passed him by

in Rolands car .

Roland screams , " boss be ready by eight " . Then he laughs .

" Sure I will " , shouts Jake .

" What a loser " , says Ross laughing .

Roland honked and speeded away with all the gang in his car.

Jake arrived at the clothing store and fixed himself up before entering ;

he pulled up his pants till he couldn't pull them up anymore ; he adjusted

his eye wear and slicked his hair back . He entered the store .

[lammy]

" Goodevening sir ... and how may I help you " , asked the lady behind

the front counter at " Lucky's Place " .

Jake looks around and sees nice pairs of socks he would like to take

home . " Yes . I am looking for a dress pant - I have a very hot date

tonight . " Laughs Jake snorting with his laughter . " Can you help me

with that problem " , adds Jake .

The lady looks at Jake up and down and begins laughing hysterically .

" Excuse me but did I make a funny ? " Jake scratched his head in

confusion .

The lady points to a man standing infront of a dressing room .

" He'll help you sir . " Grins the lady .

" Cool ! " Jake slowly walks towards the man . On his way there

he stared at all the nice looking socks that they had on display.

The man standing infront of the dressingroom began laughing as Jake

made his way to him . He waves to Jake . " I can help you you over

here sir ! "

" Yeah , yeah ... " Jake cleared his throat . " Ummm , I am looking to

purchase a good dress pant ... you see I have a hot date . "

The man places one hand on hip and starts moving the hips side

to side as he talked . " Well , you've come to the right person . " Grins

the man .

" Good . Well , what do you recomend I purchase for tonight ? "

The man puts a hand on his forhead and begins tapping his foot .

" I'm thinking ... I am thinking here - hmmm , I got it , come with me . "

Richard ( the man helping Jake at the clothing store ) grabs Jake by the

elbow and drags him to a shelf in the store . He starts bitting his nails

" You know what ? You need more than just a new wardrobe ... you need

a whole new make over . " Grins Richard .

[lammy]

" Oh brother , here we go . " Jake rolled his eyes at the man . " I don't

have time for your comments or your suggestions right now . Can you

please pick out a dress pant for me please ! "

Richard went from a grin to half a smile . " I see you are in a

hurry ... here , I think these will look good - I mean they look good to

begin with but they will make you look good " , says Richard grabbing a

pant from every shelf and tossing them at Jake .

Jake opened his eyes wide and to himself he says , " this guy thinks I

am rich or something ? " Laughs Jake .

" Here you go . I thought all of these might suit you well ... I mean help

you out . " Smiled Richard .

Jake looks at Richard and says , " please tell me all these pants are

on special ? "

Richard turns to Jake and laughs really loud . " Nope - I am afraid not ,

but you'll thank me ... the ladies are going to flock to you like flies on

crap ! " Laughs Richard again . He walks away throwing his hands up in

the air and whispering something to himself .

Jake slowly lowered his head bringing the pants to the front counter .

" How much is this ? "

The lady at the front counter grins sarcastically. " Umm , I don't think

you can afford all these . " She laughs .

" I need only one ... that guy thought I needed more than one . "

Chuckled Jake nervously .

The lady at the front desk stuck a pencil in her mouth then says ,

" I think he has a point " . She laughed really loud .

Jake paid no mind to what the lady had just said to him , he patiently

grabbed one pant . " How much is this one ? " He grins .

Amanda ( the front desk lady ) blew a bubble after taking the pencil

out of her mouth . " It will be twenty - five big ones . " She stuck her

hand out.

Jake took his wallet out of his pocket and paid the lady , he then

left the store .

" Hello ! John's plumbing . How may I help you ? "

" Hey Susan , it's me Steffanie . I was just wondering what you are

doing tonight ? "

" For what ? So you can hook me up with a total loser like the last

guy ? "

[lammy]

" No ! I promise this time will be different " , says Steffanie while sitting

down at McDonalds with Roland , Ross , Mike and Tim .

Susan laughs . " If you lie to me - you will be the one cleaning toilets ...

and unclogging pipes ! "

" Trust me Susan this guy is hot ... infact , I would date him in a

heartbeat . " Grins Steffanie at the guys while telling Susan this .

Roland busted out laughing and almost choked .

" Are you okay sweety ? "

" I am okay . I almost choked on this here french fry after hearing

what you said . "

" So will you go ? please - For me Susan . " Steffanie crossed

her fingers .

Susan takes a few seconds to answer steffanie then says , " but if he

is as ugly as the last guy you hooked me up with - you will owe me big

time ... are you listening Steffanie " , shouts Susan throu the phone .

" Yeah , yeah ... loud and clear ! "

" What time will you guys come get me ? "

" About eight thirty . Sounds good to you ? "

" Sure ! I have to go , I have a customer - see you then . " Susan

hung up the phone .

Steffanie smiled at the guys .

" So I take it that she said yes " , asked Ross .

" Ofcourse she did . It's on tonight guys . " Grins Steffanie .

[lammy]

Jake was close to his apartment when from outside he could hear his

phone ringing . He took his time opening the door while waiting for the

phone to stop ringing but the phone kept on ringing . Jake sat down on

his front steps for a while until the phone stopped ringing and after ten

minutes of ringing Jake decided to go in his apartment . As Jake opened

his apartment door the phone stopped ringing only for the answering

machine to pick up .

" Hi Jake ! I know you are not home from work yet but I have the best

of news for you ... I am going to come visit you this weekend . Please

call me back when you receive this message . I hope everything is okay

darling . Love you sweety ... take care . "

Jake lowered his head entering his apartment after hearing his

mother's message . " Great ! Just great . " Jake threw his keys on a night

stand in the livingroom . " I am not going to call her for what ? " Before

Jake went into his room , he hoped that he would make a good

impression on his date . He dropped the dress pant on the floor and

jumps into his bed falling asleep fast . He dreamed of a girl that looked

like a model with blue eyes , blonde hair and soft skin . Jake saw himself

dancing and laughing the night away under the night sky with the woman .

He caressed her hair . Jake went to kiss her and was awakend from

someone knocking on the door . Jake arose from his bed . The person

kept on banging on the door like if the building was on fire . " Hold on ! I

am coming .who is it ? "

" Are you ready boss ? "

Jake opened the door . " Ready ? But it is not eight o'clock yet " ,

says Jake rubbing his eyes . Jake looked at his watch and it said eight

o'clock .

Steffanie rolled her eyes at him .

" Holy Jesus ! Okay - okay . I am going now ... just give me a few

minutes while I get dressed real quick . "

[lammy]

" Can you hurry up though , cause we have a lot of things to do before

we go on the boat ride . " Grins Steffanie .

" Just give me a few minutes will ya . " Jake had not eaten , showered

or picked out the clothes he would be wearing for tonight . " I hate being

rushed . " He closed the door .

Steffanie ran down the stairs and jumped into Rolands car .

" So is he ready ? "

" No . I have no idea what he was doing but he said he'll be right down . "

" Great " , whispered Roland .

" Just relax sweety ... for what we are going to do to him he can take his

time . " Laughs Steffanie .

Jake grabbed the dress pant that he bought today and tried it on ;

he pulled the pant all the way to his chest .

Belly layed in his mouse bed and covered his eyes with his paw .

"What's the matter ? You don't like it huh ? "

Belly knodded his head side to side meaowing .

Jake didn't know what to do . He looks in the mirror while Roland is

honking his horn .

" Let's go slow poke " , screamed Roland .

Jake let out a big sigh . He hurried out the house and almost tripped

with his untied dress shoes .

[lammy]

" Boss ! Over here " , shouts Steffanie .

Roland , Steffanie , Ross and Tim laughed really loud . Jake walked

towards the car with confidence that he would conquer his date .

Jake smiles . " Hi guys . "

Everyone in the car still laughed . Steffanie opened the

door for Jake .

" Get in boss" , says Roland .

Jake entered the car . They took off . While in the car Ross and

Tim where staring at Jakes shoes , socks , dress pant and t-shirt as they

both began laughing again .

" Can you please tell me what is so funny ? " Jake frowns .

Ross and Tim smiled at Jake .

Ross says , " yeah - at your pock-a-dotted socks with your pointy

shoes and your stripped dress pant . Where did you shop at ... cows are

us ? "

Ross laughed harder than the rest in the car .

" Alright guys - can you please calm your nerves " , shouts Roland .

" So where is Jim and Mike ? "

Steffanie looks back at Jake. " Oh gosh , we totally forgot about Jim ...

I am sorry boss , maybe next time . And Mike couldn't make it . "

smiled Steffanie .

" Oh " , says Jake fixing his eye wear .

Steffanie turns around to face the front of the car . " So are you ready

for your hot date ? " Grins Steffanie then turns to Roland and winks at

him .

" I have never been more ready in my life . " Smiles Jake combing

his hair with his hands . " She's going to love this handsome beast . "

Snorts Jake .

[lammy]

" Ha , ha , ha . " Laughs Ross .

Tim stuck his finger down his throat .

Steffanie turns around in her seat and smacks Ross on the forhead .

" Ouch " , he says .

" You are an idiot Ross . " Sighs Steffanie .

" Dude - stop the vehicle " , shouts Ross pointing at a liquor store.

" There ... we must bring lots of liquor boss . " Ross looks at Jake .

"Please go in there and rob the place . " Laughs Ross .

Roland stops the car.

Jake looks at Ross then says , " I most certainly am not a thief ! "

Ross looks at Jake .

" He's just messing around boss " , says Roland .

" Yeah - just messing around " , says Ross rolling his eyes . " Seriously

though , we need boos and lots of it . So will you please go in there and

purchase them ? "

Jake stares at everyone in the car as there was silence .

Steffanie's phone rings . " Hello . Oh hi Susan , how are you ? What -

how come ? Wait a minute " , says Steffanie to Susan . She turns to

Jake . " Boss can you please go on - we are going to be late . "

Jake exhaled really deep . " Okay let me out . " Jake exits the

car and while walking to the liquor store he whispered under his breath ,

" what a bunch of alcoholics " .

[lammy]

" So Susan , are you still going to join us tonight ? "

" Sure I am . Are you guys on your way ? "

" We are at the liquor store but we will be right there ... see you soon . "

Steffanie hung up the phone .

" I hope she is blind " , saiys Ross laughing hysterically .

Roland honked the horn .

Jake was in the store trying to figure out what he would be buying . He

is not a drinker and knew nothing about alcohol . Jake goes to the front

counter .

" Can I help you with something " , asked the clerk behind the register .

" Yes . I would like some alcohol " , says Jake seriously .

The clerk laughs at him . " Look around man- nothing but alcohol . "

Jake hears Roland honking the horn and the others screaming to

hurry up . Jake fixes his eye wear then says , " well in that case give me

the strongest alcoholic beverages you have . " Smiles Jake nervously .

" Would you like one of everything on this shelf ? "

" Yeah , yeah ... one of everything you got that can knock out an

elephant . " He snorts with laughter .

[lammy]

The clerk looks at Jake weird . " Okay then , what ever you say

dude . " The clerk puts bottle after bottle in big brown bags .

After the clerk fills two brown bags to the top with liquor hard liquor

Jake says , " okay I think that should be enough " . He grins . " So how

much will that be ? "

The clerk coughs . " Two hundred and sixty eight dollars . "

" What " , shouts Jake . " Crap ! They can forget about their christmas

bonus this year . " He laughs . Jake hands the man his credit card . Jake

picked up the bags and almost dropped them on the floor . " Holy Molly ,

these bags are really heavy and I really don't feel like spending anymore

money on them animals " , says Jake walking towards the store's exit

door .

The man saw Jake having a hard time with the bags and shouts ,

" do you need help sir ? "

" No ! I'm fine " , shouts Jake walking out .

Roland saw Jake coming towards the car and pressed the button that

unlocked the trunk .

Ross stuck his head out the window and said , " thanx boss for the

boos " . He smiled .

Jake rolled his eyes at all of them and quickly dropped the bags in

the trunk .

" Oops , there goes the boos " , says Tim to Ross .

Ross gave Tim a dirty look .

Jake wiped the sweat of his forhead . " Phew ... what I have to do

just for one night of fun . " Jake then closes the trunk .

[lammy]

Steffanie opens the door and lets Jake inside the car .

" Okay let's go " , says Steffanie .

" Woo hoo " , says Roland .

They took off to get Susan .

On the way to picking up Susan Tim wanted to know what Jake had

brought for them to drink . " What did you buy for us boss ? " Grins Tim .

" Alcohol . "

Ross smiles but Tim was not smiling at all .

" Dude , seriously ... what did you purchase for us tonight ? "

Jake looks at him then says , " does it really make a difference ...

alcohol does the same effect as beer " , shouts Jake .

Tim almost jumps on Jake . " You are lucky you are not alone . I

just wanted to know just incase I was allergic to the alcohol . " Laughs

Tim . " Let go off me dude " , shouts Tim to Ross .

Ross held him down so he didn't jump on Jake .

Jake grins . " Yes I am lucky ... specially tonight " , says Jake to

Tim raising the eyebrows up and down .

" Guys , guys " , shouts Steffanie . She then whistles . " Hello guys !

Calm the f*ck down - will you ! "

Jake did not say a word to Tim in the ten minutes it took Roland to drive

to Susan's house . All in the car was quiet .

" Hey boss we are here " , says Steffanie . She looks back at Jake .

" Aren't you excited boss ? " She grins .

" I'm actually nervous . " His legs shook , his hands were

sweaty and his eyes opened and closed uncontrollably .

" Yo boss , what are you doing ? " Laughs Ross .

[lammy]

" What is wrong with you dude ? Have you never had a woman ? "

Laughed Tim .

" Could you two shut your hole already " , shouted Steffanie .

Steffanie opened the car door to let Jake out so he could go greet his

date .

Roland honks the horn .

Jake did not move an inch .

Steffanie got out and pulls on Jake out of the car by his hand .

" Come on boss - she is waiting for you ! "

" Let her wait " , says Jake still in the car nervously shaking

his legs .

" Or you come out the nice way , or you come out the bad way " ,

says Steffanie looking at Ross and Tim and whispered to them to push

him out of the car .

" Hey what the ? "

Ross and Tim pushed him out and he landed on the ground .

" I am trying to help you out here " , says Steffanie and helps him

up from the ground .

Jake looks at the guys and gives them a dirty look . Jake then fixes

himself up and dust himself off .

" Now boss go walk/run your behind to the door and greet your date -

she is waiting for you " , says Steffanie upset .

" But ... but ... what do I say ? "

Steffanie shoved Jake . " Just go ... go - go ! " She entered the car

and shuts the door .

Jake tried to get back into the car but it was locked . " Fine ! "

Tim and Ross were pointing at Jake laughing at him .

[lammy]

Jake fixed himself up one last time before he began walking to Susan's

front door . He started doing some kind of walk and ended up tripping

over his untied shoe and lands on a bush .

Steffanie covered her eyes then said , " Oh my God - Susan is going to

kill me " .

Jake picked himself up , he removed a branch that was in his hair

and grabbed his eye wear that had landed on the floor and with dirt and all

he placed them back on his face . He then cleaned himself off and began

walking towards the door . When he got to the front of the door he

cleared his throat as he did that the door slowly opened . A tall girl comes

from behind the door . Jake looks at her from the feet up . She's wearing

white high heels , a mini skirt and a tank top shirt . Her hair blew in the

wind . Jake was speechless .

Susan looks at Jake and rolls her eyes . " Great ! I knew not to trust

Steffanie " , she said upset .

Jake began to say hello when she started walking away . He quickly

followed behind her . " Hey there ! I am Jake your date " , shouts

Jake walking behind her .

" Yes - just great " , she adds walking straight towards Rolands car .

[lammy]

" Oh no here comes Susan " , says Steffanie ducking down in the car .

"Steffanie you are so dead ! "

Steffanie gets out off the vehicle and pulls Susan to the side .

" Wow Steffanie - you really know how to pick them . " Smiles Jake .

" Yo boss ... get in " , screamed Roland .

" But I haven't even introduced myself yet . "

" Just get in ! "

Jake got in the car while Susan and Steffanie kept talking .

" Thanx again ! You know you really are messed up ... am I really that

ugly ? "

" Susan he is really not that bad " , said Steffanie and they both

looked at Jake .

" My dog looks better than him " , says Susan .

They both started laughing .

" So where am I supposed to sit down ? "

Steffanie smiles . " Umm ... on his lap . "

" Steffanie - Yuk " , shouts Susan .

" I know , I am sorry ... just this last time . I promise I will not ask for

another favor for as long as I am alive . " Grins Steffanie .

" Fine . "

Roland honks the horn and shouts , " okay - let's go " .

" Hey guys , I think she likes me " , says Jake to the guys

smiling away .

[lammy]

Ross busted out laughing . " Sure she does . " He laughed some more .

" Boss - Susan is going to be sitting on your lap " , says Steffanie .

" Yeah , so whatever you do, please don't drool on me and do not

touch me . "

Jake swallowed his saliva and everyone heard him . " Yeah , yeah that

is cool " . Jake began sweating .

Susan sat on his lap and they headed to the dock . All the way to the

dock Ross and Tim were staring at Susan while Jake was looking up at

the car's ceiling . Tim reached over Ross and touched Susan's hair but

since Susan was to busy speaking with Steffanie she did not notice , so

Tim touched her hair again and this time Susan felt her hair being

played with , she turned around and smacked Jake on the side of

his head .

" Didn't I tell you not to touch me " , shouts Susan .

" What ? I didn't do anything ! "

Tim giggled .

Jake hears Tim giggleling . " I don't know what is so funny Tim . "

" Dude , you are too hilarious " , answers Tim .

" I'll show you hilarious when I fire your behind . "

Tim laughed harder. " You fire me ... after tonight we all will be

unemployeed . " Smiles Tim .
