So I've been sort of laying low since the whole engagement farce. Still have to make it up to Kel, but I haven't been home. It's been a while since I've been so attached to LA, and really, it's working out. More opportunity to hang with Lance and JC, if they'd ever get off their asses and call me. And of course, there's been Manley. He's got this great place on the beach, and when I'm not working, I'm hanging there. I've brought Briahna a few times and it's just been. Calm. I figure the kid seal of approval is the last thing I need and my kid. She's as crazy about him as I am. So it's all working out.

Yes, indeed. Fun, sun, and benefits, man. Which just serves to make me hungry...

*comes out of the bathroom and sees the empty bed, pausing to pull on a pair of shorts before going to find Joey in the kitchen; leans on the counter watching him*

Finding anything interesting?

*turns for a brief smile over my shoulder*

Something in growing in a carton of rice. Other than that, you stock eggs. You got a protein thing going on?

*grins* Nothing wrong with a little protein. You're hungry, I'm guessing then?

Always hungry after *waggles brow* There's enough for two, if you're interested.

Enough of what? :: comes up behind Joey, hooking my chin over his shoulder and resting my hands on his hips :: I'm overdue for a grocery run, I can't believe you found much in there.

Like I said. You stock eggs *nuzzles Manley's cheek before turning back to the vegetables* and onions and peppers, pretty hardy. You like onions and peppers? I'll just make one big one we can share.

Sounds good, man. *steps back to lean against the counter again, scratching my stomach with a grin* Put you to work around here, make you earn your keep.

*side-steps Manley and sweeps the scraps into the trash, nudging his side as I go* I thought I just did that *gets back to the stove and turns on a burner* You can dig out a saute pan for me, right?

*bends down next to Manley and hunts down a medium sized fry pan*

We're gonna have to do something about this, you know. I need stuff if I'm gonna be cooking for you.

So, you're gonna be cooking for me, huh? I might like the sound of that.

Keep working up my apetite like this and that won't be a problem.

Another thing I like the sound of.

*goes to the fridge*

You want a beer or something while you cook?

Beer's good *mumbles and sets up the pan with a little pat of butter and the vegetables*

You might want to watch. Learn something. So you can cook for me.

*covers a grin, moving behind Joey to set a beer on the counter next to the stove*

Well, I guess that's fair. So what, I'm getting a preview of secret Fatone techniques or something?

You got those an hour ago. This is just an omelete, man. *grins again, flipping the flood in the pan*

Oh ha ha. You said learn something, so I'm assuming there'll be special tricks or something.

*sips my own beer before giving the vegetables another stir.*

Well, you know, I'm not entirely up to speed on your culinary knowledge so this might all be old hat to you.

Well there's always room for improvement. *runs my hand up Joey's back to rub my thumb against the back of his neck*

And you know, technique demonstrations are always fun.

*leans into the touch, still working the pan *

It's like most things *grins*

It's all in the wrist.

Oh I dunno, you have some pretty impressive skills... elsewhere too.

*smiles, watching Joey for a second*

Man, I better get busy, that looks almost done.

*turns and gets out plates and silverware, with my back to Joey*

So, uh, I've been meaning to ask you. How long til you're gonna have to head back home?

*once the egg is almost set, the pan is flicked, the egg flipped and I turn the burner off.*

Well I haven't given it much thought.

*grabs a handful of cheese and sprinkles it onto the egg, then folds it out onto one of the plates Manley took out*

But we've the charity gig in and around the 19th so I'll definitely be headed back for that.

Oh, that's right, your challenge for the children thing. You think you'll come back, after?

I think so. I mean, I got the album and everything. Been doing the majority of my recording here.

Yeah, that--I forgot that. Cool.

*grins*

Glad you've got a reason to come back, I've gotten pretty used to having you around.

*picks up a plate and my beer*

You wanna be civilized and sit at the table?

[info]joey_fatone
2003-07-02 07:21 pm UTC (link)
Yeah, sure.

*follows Manley in with beer and a plate of my own. Sits down*

I'd try to come back anyway. I figure it's something... I mean, I'm not just here killing time until I go back home.

No, I didn't mean... I just thought. I know Florida's home, and eventually you're gonna go back, that's all.

Um, wow. Yeah, I. I'd love that. I...

*grins*

Yeah. I can, uh, be a beach bum there as good as here, right?

It's a little ways away, but we can work that out.

*smiles across the table*

I'd like to work all that out.

I think we can do that.

*breaks eye contact, finally, taking a bite* We can definitely do that.
