<strong>Melonie in the Kitchen area  w/ Derek  </strong><br/><br/><strong> " Oh he is most likely in the office working ...I don't think he went into work today anyways ....never does on Friday . " </strong>as she shrugged her shoulder and moved over to the stove . Put on some oven mitts and pulled the Lasagna out .. both containers of it  placing them on top of the stove as the smell of it filled the house.<br/><br/>Moving over to the Garlic bread ..making sure it was properly drenched in the garlic butter stuff spreading it with a spatula . As she looked back at him .<strong> " Sure we can watch them together if you want to ..I am really glad your home . I miss Jay ..but now that your here I feel better about it . Guess he had other things to move on too . Can't live at home forever or something like that ...but I plan on living here for several years yet ...take some acting classes and work in the theater . Might go to design school that way I can make my own costumes and things. Actresses really don't make a lot of money ...and I doubt I am that good to just walk in and make them big bucks . Besides ...why would I want to leave . " </strong><br/><br/>Bending over to put the bread into the oven ....humming to herself .<strong>  " Won't be long now ..."</strong>as she reached up to turn the dial to broil . Not really moving from the stove so she didn't burn it .<strong> " Could go get a couple bottles of wine out of the cellar to have with dinner ...if you want . " </strong>as she looked up at the clock ..<strong>." Most everyone ought to be heading here soon ...so your not going to starve Derek. "</strong>as she blew her brother a kiss ...winking at him .
