Kaci goes out to the living room to join Nick and Frankie.
“Alright, let’s go,” Kaci says grabbing her purse and keys off the kitchen counter as they all walk out the door. “I thought J had some hypnotic and tequila in there?” Kaci asks Frankie as they’re walking out to her BMW.
“Well, I didn’t see any. Besides, it’s always good to have extra!” Frankie says.
“So Jess, what’s up with you and Aje?” Nick asks as they get to the gate.
“Nothing, just the same old stuff that has always been going on with us,” Kaci says opening the gate.
“So what are you going to do when he moves back to Florida?”
“I don’t know Nick and I don’t want to think or talk about it because I love Alex with all my heart, but he hasn’t been here and I haven’t seen him in god knows how long! Besides, I’m with Jose and until I’m not with Jose, Alex is just gonna have to deal with me being with Jose,” Kaci says to Nick.“Frankie, I’m sorry, he’s been on me about this all night!” Kaci says opening the garage door.
“It’s okay mami,” Frankie says with a little smirk.
“What was that smirk for?” Kaci says unlocking her BMW and getting in.
“Oh nothing,” Frankie says getting in the back of the BMW.
“I’m not gonna argue with you, I’m not in the mood!”
Kaci, Nick and Frankie leave and go to the 24-hour Walgreens by her house.
“I’m supposed to get hypnotic and tequila here?” Frankie says trying to hold back a laugh.
“Frankie baby, look at what time it is, what do you know is open at this time that has any kind of liquor period?”
“Alright, I guess you got a point. Let’s go see what they got,” Frankie says getting out of Kaci’s BMW.
Kaci and Nick get out of her BMW and go inside Walgreens with Frankie.
“I’m buying so get whatever you wish to have,” Frankie says.
“You told that to the wrong people Frankie!” Kaci says grabbing a basket.
“Just don’t get the most expensive stuff here!”
Kaci and Nick go off and buy food and candy while Frankie handles the drinks.
“Let’s get some stuff for everyone,” Kaci suggests.
“You know everyone well enough?” Nick asks.
“Except for Kaley, but I figured you would know!”
“Well, let’s see what they got!”
Kaci gets some Ferro Rocher for Tyler, then realizes she actually DOESN’T know what everyone likes!
“Nick, let’s just get like one of everything!” Kaci says.
“I think we’ll need a cart instead of a basket then!”
“Let’s try the basket and if not then we can get a cart.”
Kaci hands Nick the basket and starts grabbing one of pretty much everything.
“Actually, I’m gonna go get a cart!” Kaci says then goes and gets the cart. “Alright, just put the basket in here.”
“Okay, we covered the candy, now for the chips and stuff.”
“Alright, I know what to get in that category!” Kaci says heading for the chip aisle.
“Hey Jess,” Nick says heading toward a different aisle.
“What Nick?” Kaci says stopping in her tracks.
“Would Justin get mad if we got these and put them out for people to take and use at their leisure?” Nick asks coming out of the aisle with a box of condoms.
“Oh My God Nick! I can’t believe you even would suggest that!”
“So is that a yes or no?”
“Get it, I wanna fuck with J!” Kaci says laughing.
Nick puts the Trojans in the cart and him and Kaci go to the chip aisle and get various chips and then some soda to go with the liquor that Frankie is picking up.
“What in the hell?” Frankie says when he sees what Kaci and Nick have picked up. “We are not getting everything in the store Jess!”
“It’s not everything! It’s just the whole candy aisle pretty much and some chips! The condoms were Carter’s idea!”
“Condoms?”
“Yeah see,” Nick says like a little kid, taking the box out of the cart and showing Frankie.
“And what are those for?”
“You use them to…” Kaci starts to say.
“I know what they’re for! I meant what are you doing with them? Or what do you plan on doing with them?” Frankie asks. “Besides that,” he says, knowing he had a smartass comment coming his way from both Kaci and Nick.
“We’re gonna fuck around with J, and if someone wishes to use them, that’s their business!”
“Alright, let’s go so we get back before everyone so we can put the plan you two have in action. But remember, I had NO part in this, whatsoever!”
“Yes sir!” Kaci says laughing.
Kaci and Nick wait outside for Frankie while he pays for what they picked out.
“You got a cigarette on you?” Kaci asks Nick.
“Yeah, why?”
“Can I get it?”
“What if I want it?” Nick asks.
“Well, then you can have it too.”
“Fine,” Nick says handing the cigarette to Kaci.
“Thanks,” Kaci says taking the cigarette, lighting it and then hands it to Nick after smoking half of it.
“What’s with you and smoking lately?”
“I’m just stressed out.”
“If you say so. You never smoked until you started hanging around Aje.”
“Okay, we can leave now,” Frankie says coming out of Walgreens with the cart.

Kaci makes Nick finish the cigarette before getting in her BMW. Once Nick finishes the cigarette, the three of them leave and head back to Kaci’s house.
