" So, " Sarah said." What happened this morning that had His Highness Conners' undies in a twist?" She sipped at her tea and eyed Sophie expectantly.

" Oh, that! Tcchah! What a big baby he is. Picture this-I come to change the linens in the Boss' bedroom"-Sarah interrupted to sigh longingly. "I know," Sophie responded with a cream-eating-cat grin. " Anyway, I go in the bedroom, I change the sheets, put on the 720 count Italian linens- because his skin is so delicate-" Both ladies burst into snickers and then thought about all that delicate skin and sighed again.

" So. I go to change the towels in the bathroom, but the door is locked. Well, it's time for me to change the towels! It must be a mistake!" Sarah murmurs an agreement, oh yes, mistake, uh-mmmand her eyes go out of focus for a second. "Okay, I unlock the door-"

"You have keys for the upstairs rooms?"

"No, and if you don't stop interrupting-"

"Oh! Sorry! Go ahead!" She ignored the glare from Sophia and flashed a wide-eyed look of total attention over the rim of her mug.

"Aaanyway-I unlock the door-" She stopped and glared at Sarah, who looked back, the very picture of innocence. " Which, ok, was a little difficult, with the hairpin, but I do it. And! Guess who is in the bathroom? It wa-"

" Oooh! The Boss! Was it the Boss?"

"So, your family, they leave you on the curb here? Yes, it was the Boss the Cutieand let me tell you...."

"Yes? Yes?" Sarah nearly fell face first into the table, leaning forward to hear Sophia whose voice had gotten steadily lower as she went on.

" I think I see the real reason they call him the Boss! He covered pretty fast, but I have good eyes!" Sarah's hands flew to her mouth. Then flew apart in the universal sign for 'How Big'. "Ha! Let me say, he has no reason to be embarrassed. Except for Big Giant Boy, he's the true Boss in this house.". Sophie nodded in a self-satisfied way, as Sarah stared at her, head tilted slightly in wonder.

" You'veseen B.G.B.? How! * and am I eating my own liver in jealousy! * Not even Mr. Lex the Cutiehas seen him and God knows-" The two women smirked at each other and then released another gusty sigh. Two healthy women in a household of fabulous looking men who only had eyes for each other, and minimal sense of privacy...

Sweeet They grinned widely at each other.

"So spill, how did you see Big Giant Boy?" Sarah had a great sense of priorities.

"Ah! Remember the pool party the Cutie throws for BGB and his little friends?" She continued at Sarah's nod." Well, the pool shower needed towels, and-"

"You had a hair pin!" Sarah crowed.

" Your parents, they pay Mr. Lex to take you, yes?"

" So, how long do you think that it' gonna take Mr.Lex to realize he wants Big Giant Boy and stops inviting his friends with him?" Sarah wondered. She finished her tea and put the mug in the sink.

Sophia rose and stretched, bent down to grab her laundry basket. Hoisting it up on her hip, she snorted. "Hmmph! How long do you think it will take BGB to realize* he* wants the Boss?"

"Hmmm." Sarah started to wipe down the counters (everything had to be sparkling or Hans Dick-terwould have a pissing fit. " Sophia...do those hair-pins work on the bedroom door, too?"
