[CLOSED] Life in the fast lane.

Zoey smiled, hugging him close. "Yeah?" She teased. "You sleep good with Britt Britt?" She smirked playfully at him over Jack's head as he headed for the kitchen, reached for the remote and turned some cartoons on. "You want to watch something?"

"Hardy har har." Britt said, rolling his eyes. He pulled himself up on the counter, yawning. But he had functioned on less sleep. Or none at all.

"Yeah. Britt Britt wheeze in his sleep." Jack said, and he wasn't lying. Britt did wheeze in his sleep, especially with someone on his chest. "I don't like sleepin' with him. He sound like a screen door."

He laid his head down on Zoey, curling up close. "I wanna watch 'cooby doo." He said, rubbing his eye with his good hand. "An I wanna my juice. Where 'roe?"

"Monroe's sick." Britt mumbled.

"Santa come get him last night. They lots of lights 'n Dash was crying."

[zoey ashlyn martyn]

"Yeah, maybe you shouldn't sleep on top of him and he wouldn't be so loud." She poked his nose gently, knew Britton wheezed, and while it usually worried her, it was at the same time somewhat comforting, knowing he was there. She wrapped her arm around him, flipping through the channels until she found his show, and turned up the volume some, watching Tony wander down the stairs, attempting to fix the leg of his skinny jeans at the same time.

Britt looked over at Tony, a smile playing on his lips. "That's hot." He teased. He poured his cup of coffee, then left the kitchen, sitting down on the floor by Zoey. Jack tried to push his head away, and Britt groaned. "She's my girlfriend." He complained.

"No, her mine." Jack said, hugging her tightly.

"Mkay." Britt said, taking a sip of his coffee before he laid his head back on the loveseat, a yawn passing his lips.

[zoey ashlyn martyn]

Tony stuck his tongue out in response, screwing in the other snakebite ball as he headed for the kitchen to make some toast.

Zoey chuckled, playing with Jack's hair. She murmured a thanks when Tony brought her some toast and coffee before he sat down on the other couch. She took a bite quietly, sipping at the hot coffee.

Britt finished off his coffee, leaning sleepily against the sofa. But he hadn't forgotten his promise to drive Tony to school. He stood up, and Jack climbed down after him, following him in his Toy Story pajamas. Britt searched through his bag for his cup, pulling it out and walking to the kitchen to rinse it out and pour his juice. He handed it to him, running a hand through his long black hair. He walked back to his bag, pulling out a pair of little dark wash jeans and a black button down. He found his blue under shirt, and called Jack over. Jack toddled over, and sat down, wiggling out of his pants. Britt helped him into his jeans, then out of his shirt. He pulled on the undershirt, then the other shirt over it. He ran his fingers through the boy's hair again, and Jack got up, looking for his shoes.

"I got your shoes, Jackson." Britt said.

"Zoo-ey put dem on." He said.

[zoey ashlyn martyn]

Zoey finished eating, sipping at her coffee quietly as she watched them with a faint smile from behind her cup. She patted the spot beside her for him, and took the shoes from Britton, slipping them on and tying them. "There ya' go."
Tony got up and grabbed his bookbag.

[britton "britt" markus roberts]

"Fanks." He said, pulling her hand into his lap. He hugged her arm, looking over at the TV.

Britt got up, and grabbed his keys. "I'll be back." He said, walking over to kiss Zoey gently. "Don't you go stealing my girlfriend, little boy." He said, pointing at Jackson.

Jack just smirked, hugging her arm tighter. Britt started out to his truck, rubbing his face sleepily. He just wanted to get back and take a hot shower to get ready for work. Even if he didn't want to leave Zoey home alone.

[zoey ashlyn martyn]

Zoey kissed him gently back, glancing down at Jack as she curled up some on the couch. She wondered is Jason was still locked up of if he had talked his way out. He had always been good when it came to conning people. She set her coffee cup down, running her fingers through Jack's hair as Tony followed Britton out the door.

[britton "britt" markus roberts]

Jack stayed close to Zoey, even when Britt came in to take his shower. He tossed back on the clothes he had worn the day before, then started downstairs, running his fingers through his damp hair. "If it's a girl, we're gonna name her Milldrid so I can call her Minnie." He teased. "I hate that name." He said, leaning over to kiss her slowly. "You can stay here, or you can come to work with me and Jack. Whatever you want to do. Even if I really don't want you to be home alone." He said, jingling his keys in front of Jack.
