New York City

The alarm bell had been going off in his head since he'd invited her back into his bed earlier in the day. Now it might as well have been making his ears ring with what he'd agreed to.

Beau didn't even bat an eye at him, and although Shane was in it was a little uneventful. Half of him expected to have that protective sibling thing come out, if someone like himself showed up Shane knew he'd pulverize him to a pulp, or die trying. His expression lightened as the stomach's rumbled and everyone decided to hit the road. He looked down to Piper as she posed her question aimed towards him and he nodded. When the mustang was pulled around the corner and he and the other guy who'd been pretty quiet jumped in didn't say much to Piper. When they got her house he just chuckled. "There's nothing simple about you is there?" he asked with a smile playing on his lips as he slipped out of the car after breaking way to many speed limits. It was fine with him, he had his own silver bullet back at his place, and understood her little need for speed.

Yeah, Shane had his own steady finances, but he didn't care to show any of it off to Piper's extent, although he assumed she came from money and had this kind of stuff through her whole life. "What's for dinner?"

Piper smiled at Shane. No, nothing about her was simple. actually nothing about her family was simple but hey she's also sitting on money and once she gets her dads company she'll be making $300,000 an hour. It doesn't matter how many charities Piper was very generous to she will always have money. And a part of her didn't actually like the idea of being a multi-billionaire like her dad. Sighing Piper parked the camaro and got out Shane and Mac following behind. She took out her house key and opened the door, she walked inside.

"Its an old fashion BBQ, ribs are already done just need to warm them up, the hamburger meats already made, shrimps ready to cook and the steak just has to go on the grill, then I already have Caesar salad and homemade fries done, beers are in the fridge, any vodka's, rum and whiskey are in the bar cabinet down stairs" Piper said as she removed her shoes and headed straight to the kitchen, opening the fridge she took out everything and started cooking.

----------------

It did take long for Beau and Tori to show up, but by the time they did Piper was just finishing up the shrimp. Everything else had been cooked and was sitting on the counter, steaming rolling off the tops.
"Took you long enough thats why I sent John with you so you wouldn't be late" Piper said flashing John a playful glare and he just shrugged.
"Its not my fault they actually kicked me out of the truck" John said smiling as he went straight to the fridge and pulled out a beer.
"Shrimps done, Tori grab the plates, Boys foods on!" Piper said and almost moments later Beau came racing into the room, grabbing a plate from Tori and dishing up. Piper smacked his hands with a wooden spoon.
"I made alot of food make sure theres enough for everyone" Piper scolded as Beau pouted and rubbed his hand. Mac came stumbling into the kitchen. He was already on his sixth beer, being the quick light weight drinker he was.
"Damn your one fine woman Piper, any guy would be lucky to have you" Mac slurred though Piper knew he only meant it to be friendly. Poor Shane and John were going to be getting the most of Mac's attention tonight seeing that he is gay.
"Just grab a plate Mac and scoop up" Piper giggled.
"Shane you better hurry before Beau takes all the food"
