Season 1 (CH20):

They were having some sort of race, he wasn't really paying attention to anything really, at the moment his eyes were on Ethel who was also watching him with a lot of interest. He didn't know what was going on, it was like the moment that he met Kassidi but more intense then that, something in his chest felt full.

After awhile he thought that there was something wrong with him, but he noticed that when he looked away from her it went away, though he liked the feeling so he didn't stop it. He saw a small playful smile on her lips as she looked at him again, Fiona and the rest were using her at the moment as an obstacle.

Honestly he wasn't buying the whole Frank sober thing too, he didn't know if it would last if the guy was to stay sober, the show never really gave him the chance. Also he didn't know if his brain was already beyond repair, that wasn't really pointed out when he really went down hill, it could be that he was actually suffering for a while but it didn't get worse until the show was ending.

Shaking those thoughts away he was ready to eat, the didn't eat dinner but instead started to entertain Frank, which he didn't see why. Even if the guy was to stay sober there was no way that he would give them any money, not that he needed the money anyway, nor did anyone else since he gave a lot of money to Fiona but not letting her put it in the squirrel fund.

Monica would return sometime, that was something he couldn't change, so he was making sure that the money wouldn't be somewhere that she could get a hold of it if she showed.

Why were his thoughts straying so much? Shaking those off he looked up to see Fiona moving towards the kitchen, he missed Lip leaving with Karen seeing that the family was supporting Frank.

"Dinner is ready!" Fiona called from the kitchen.

He didn't know when but he was about to get up to get a plate but there was one in front of his face, following the hand holding it he saw Ethel smiling at him. He raised a brow but then smiled slightly while taking it, "Why did you bring me this? I could have gotten up and gotten it myself."

"I just wanted to do it for you." She said with a smile while sitting down to the plate she had in front of herself.

The two didn't notice but at the moment the whole house was looking at the two of them, as Carl ate they watched Ethel fuss over him like a wife. Kev and V raised a brow seeing that, Carl wasn't paying attention to that at all, instead he was eating his food while looking at Ethel who would smile sweetly at him.

------

"Do you think she likes him?" Fiona whispered while leaning into Kev and V as they watched from the kitchen.

"I think so, I noticed them looking at one another earlier but I didn't think anything about it. She seems to be really into him though, I didn't see her trying to get a plate for anyone else." V answered with a raised brow and a sly smile.

"She is from a religious cult and actually married at the moment. Do you think she would try anything?" Kev said not seeing a problem with the two of them together.

"Carl is the one we need to look out for. He already has that crazy girl hooked on to him, that necklace he is wearing has some of her blood inside of it. So you should be worried about what would happen if they got together, do you think he would change her any?" Fiona said while taking a bite of her food.

Kevin and Veronica looked at each other while nodding, "Well we will let whatever happens happen. I don't really see the problem, if anything he could get her out of that shell she is in, it would be nice to not see her want to do chores and things like that." Kev said while sipping his beer.

"True. No clue how long she will be with us though, she is only suppose to be here until we get our money situation fixed, remember that Kev." Veronica said while glaring at him slightly.

"Let's see what happens then." Fiona said looking back to where Carl was finishing the last of his food.

-------

Carl took the last bite of his food then took a drink of the juice she brought for him, he was going to get up to take the plate into the kitchen but she stopped him. He watched as she took the plate and walked to the kitchen, she didn't come back until she washed it, smiling the entire way she came back and took her seat again.

Watching her with the sit down he played with the cup in his hand looking at her, "So why did you grab me a plate? We have only told each other our names, no way you just wanted to do it for me. If that was the case you would have done it for Kev and V too."

She blushed some while looking down, "Well..... I don't know. I just get this feeling in my chest every time I look at you, when your sister called for dinner I went and just made you one. It was a reflex really."

He smiled at her while leaning back into his chair more, "I can understand. I get a stuffy feeling in my chest when I look at you, it doesn't seem like a bad feeling either considering how much I like it."

Her blush grew but so did her smile too, "Really?" she whispered.

"Yeah, it is true. Can't put it into words yet but I am attracted to you, I know that at least." He explained while watching her closely since she was looking at him shyly, she just looked way to cute to look away from at this moment.

"I am married, his name is Clyde." She suddenly said with a small put on her face while looking at him, he raised a brow waiting, "I also have a son, his name is Jonah. So even if I feel something for you, which I don't even know if I do or not still nothing can happen between us."

Carl laughed while looking at her with a raised brow, "Oh and who says I want something to happen between us? You just came to that conclusion on your own, I just said that I am attracted to you not that we should try anything."

She blushed looking down.

At that moment his phone rang, smiling slightly he answered right in front of her, "Hey Chipmunk, how is your night going?"

"CARL OMG SO MUCH HAPPENED TODAY!!!!!" Kassidi screamed into the phone while also laughing a little.

Even Ethel could hear her at the moment, she was staring at him as he began a conversation with Kass on the phone, the whole time he was looking at her while fiddling with his necklace. Most of it was him listening to her but when she let him speak then Ethel her their 'lovey dovey' talk, which wasn't to much, he wasn't really like that.

Though he did tell her constantly that he missed her, which he did since he was use to seeing her come by the house or him going to her. "Alright I will talk to you later then. Yeah.... Yeah kisses and all that." He said before hanging up the phone.

"Who was that?" Ethel asked the moment he call was dropped though the entire time they were staring into each others eyes as he was talking to Kassidi.

"My 'friend', can't explain it properly, we are having sex and like each other. Well she said she loves me technically speaking, but anyway we are together kind of but not really. Like I said hard to explain." He said with a shrug.

She nodded her head lowering as she looked like she was thinking about something.

"Let's head out Ethel. It is getting late and we should get home to sleep." Kev said as he walked into the living room, none of them heard their conversation but they could see them talking from the kitchen.

"Okay. Goodnight Carl, I will see you tomorrow." She said as she smiled at him before following Kev and V out the house, Kev shot him a smile as they walked out.

He shook his head and got up, as he stood Fiona was standing there smiling, "Another one huh? Keep it up and you will be able to start your own brothel eventually."

"Not a bad idea. Maybe you can be the head girl there, but I do need to sample the product first." He said with a smile as he passed her, he lightly slapped her on the ass while making his way to his bedroom.

"Ha! Nice one." He heard her say right before he shut the door.

----------

"So you're not buying this then?" Lip asked as they watched Frank who was making breakfast at the moment.

"Of course not. Debby is to little to remember what he is like not drunk, and maybe be seeing a little of it, but I know that he will get worse as time goes on." He said while shaking his head and drinking his coffee in his hands.

"Good. Things will only get worse as time goes on, I will try and explain that more to Debby later when we go bowling. We should actually start getting ready since Kev will be ready soon, I invited him and Ethel to join us." Lip explained while walking over to put his cup in the sink.

Carl nodded and went to get ready, it might be early but before 10am he didn't change out his pajamas, he would lounge around in them until then. Before leaving to go downstairs he shot Fiona a wink who rolled her eyes, even though he was flirting with her she was still having problems with Steve at the moment.

Which wasn't to big a problem other then; He was from a rich family, he had another girlfriend, he was suppose to be at med school, and the fact that he didn't tell her his real name.

Shaking his head he went and got dressed quickly, Kev was going to give them a ride, which was the main reason that Lip invited them so they wouldn't need to walk there. After a quick shower and heading back upstairs he saw that Debby and Lip were ready, "Alright guys let's head out."

They nodded and all walked out to the front Frank was following them, apparently just like the show he was tagging along for the ride. Leaving out the front they saw Ethel and Kev standing at the truck, walking over he jumped into the back while looking at Ethel who also couldn't look away from him ever since they had came outside.

"Let's hit is Kev." Lip said hitting the top of the truck as Frank and Lip joined Carl in the back.

The drive wasn't long but it was cold as they went there, Carl spent the time ignoring Frank while texting his three girls, well two and Sammy who was out with her mom. When they arrived there he quickly went in first, he blew on his hands while also going to pay for the lanes and the shoes.

Everyone was quick to catch up and started getting their things, once it was all set he told Lip to set his name while he went to the concession stand. "Hey can I get some extra large nacho's along with two burgers, and three soft drinks, one sprite, one coke, and one powerade."

"That will be $27.45" She said while turning to get the cups for his drinks.

He paid for it all while waiting for it, since it wasn't a restaurant or anything like that he didn't need to wait long before it was set in front of him, he thanked them again before leaving. Getting back to the group he passed the drinks to the girls keeping the powerade for himself, he also gave them a burger the nacho's were his alone.

Using a fork he used that to pick up a chip and took a bite, moaning he smiled at how good they tasted. Ethel was watching him before she walked over and looked at him, "Can I have one?" she asked in her soft voice.

He nodded giving her his fork, he laughed watching he struggle for a moment then getting it for her, raising it to her mouth he watched her face light up as she took a bike. "Alright guys let's start, we will do teams first. Debby and Frank vs. Lip and Carl vs. Ethel and Kev. Kev we will just look at your screen and then compare them to ours when we are done." Lip explained to everyone.

Carl nodded while sitting in his chair, right behind him was Ethel whose hair was brushing against his neck, "So do you know how to play Ethel?" Kev asked while looking over at her.

He could feel her shake her hair as it brushed against his neck, it really tickled. "No, we never got the chance to play." She explained while talking about where she use to live.

"Hey Carl?!" Kev called getting his attention, "Why don't you show her how it is done." He said with a sly smile when Carl looked over.

Carl raised a brow and then looked right into Ethel's eyes, "That sounds like a great idea."
