Chase pulled up his shorts and went below to retrieve the bong and his herb. He checked his phone for messages, confirming three new emails from pennycollins. Then he tapped up Frederico's and ordered three 18" "Total Carnivore"s for delivery; tonite seemed like an eat-in sort of nite and he figured he would find better things for Penny to do than make dinner.
When he returned to the living room, she had released her hold on her sons and they had backed off of her, leaning back into either end of the sofa, shorts still around their ankles. She was staring down at her phone; she raised her face to him as he set the bong on the end of the coffee table nearest the recliner and took a seat.
Chase could feel the others struggling to make sense of what had just happened; it was obvious that they were unsure what to do. That only made his job steering the coming attractions easier; the confused tend to defer to the confident in crisis situations, and it was obvious all three of them were experiencing some moral crisis right now. For Chase, crisis was simply opportunity.
He let the silence linger while he purposefully stuffed the bowl and took a huge rip on the bong, held it for several moments, and exhaled a tight stream of smoke toward Penny. She inhaled deeply.
"Thank you for returning my phone, Chase. Why did you take those videos of me?"
"Well Mrs C, you are amazingly hot and, to be honest, you started it first didn't you? It seemed like a good idea so i just ran with it. Sometimes it's nice to have a momento from special experiences isn't it?"
"Yes Chase, sometimes it is. And sometimes it's better not to hold on to the past; I'm not sure these are memories I want anywhere but in our minds."
"Really Penny? I saw the pics you sent to Mr C earlier and I guess I thought you might want to share your special sexy times with him since he missed out on the party. Isn't that why you started it?"
"He could be home any moment now," Penny tapped her phone for the time (5:58) curious why Marshall hadn't been in touch for hours and when he might get home; she needed to wrap this up for now and figure out how to deal with him before then. "I think it's time for you to leave, Chase, and let us clean up here." She opened her text app.
[getting a motel room]
[should be back by noon]
[bet your upset :( please reply xox]
[its ok, i'm busy here]
[be safe, see you tomorrow]
She scrolled up and read the rest of his previous message. She felt a wave of relief roll over her to receive this temporary reprieve, then she realized other implications.
"Chase, did you answer this message from Marshall?"
"Yes I did, was I wrong Mrs C?" he pulled a contrite expression then smirked.
"Why did you do that, Chase?"
"Well I noticed you hadn't responded to him for quite a while, guess you were busy with other priorities. I figured it would be nice to make sure he wasn't unnecessarily worrying."
The twins had leaned in to read the message displayed on the screen.
"Looks like we have the whole evening to ourselves now, and I think we have some pertinent matters to discuss here," Chase leaned back in the recliner.
"Pass me the bong," Penny replied.

After a couple tokes she was feeling a bit better, tho her recently emptied stomach was gnawing at itself. She remembered the pizza thawing in the oven and she stood, wrapping the towel around herself and strolling into the kitchen.
"I was planning on eating alone." She set the oven (BAKE, 350, 30'). "Pizza will be ready in half an hour, but it's not much. Don't you guys all eat out together on Fridays? And why were you home so early?"
"Coach cancelled practice cause his mom broke her hip." Ray replied.
"We expected to have the place to ourselves for a while," Jay offered. "Why were you home so early?"
"Power went out at work. That's too bad about your coach's mom," she said; 'and if she hadn't fallen off her walker, I wouldn't be off my rocker now!' she mused.
"Coach told us to go do something nice for our moms," Chase implied, "Was what we just did nice for you, Mrs C?"
Penny returned to the sofa with some crackers and dip.
"Ok Chase, let's cut the bullshit shall we? You all surprised me in the middle of masturbating and I passed out and I puked; not so nice. Ray and Jay came to my rescue; nice. You watched me have multiple orgasms; nice. You filmed them without my consent; not so nice. It's been a mixed bag, Chase, a big fucking crazy mixed bag of emotions that I'm...we...are all still processing."
"What about when I let you suck my cock and swallow my cum?"
"What?!?" the twins exclaimed in unison.
"That was nice Chase. And this weed is really nice. But even with those you are barely breaking even. Do you want to really do something nice for me Chase? Or are you just here to take what you can get? Cause I could really use something nice right now."
"Penny, what could be nicer than helping make your wildest fantasies come true?"
The doorbell rang.
"That should be dinner," Chase offered "I ordered us pizza so you wouldn't have to cook."
"Nice. You wanna go get that?" He was the only one decently dressed.
"Well Mrs C, I spent all my cash on this herb you like so much, so I was hoping maybe you could cover it?"
"Not so nice, Chase."
