Will the fun just NEVER END?! The JLMT adventure CONTINUES!

Mind you, this is JUST Sunday:

The church dance has ended, but we find that the drama has not. Despite warnings advising otherwise, M decided to spend Saturday with T, going shopping and then bowling later in the evening and into Sunday. Naturally, L is not okay with this. Not because she's jealous, no, no, no, but rather because she does not understand why people will not heed her when she truly has their best interest at heart. Never mind that M had been advised that T only pursued him after J had been jokingly approached and that M had acted offended at the news that T would be like that, still, he chose to take her out.
Sunday comes and M was to attend. The pew on which a seat  is reserved is small, so a specific count is done to assure that he will sit there with those that "ought" to surround him. L sat with a space on her left, by the wall. On L's right side sat her roommate Dollface, who had a space reserved to her right for M, with the understanding that when he came, he was actually to sit between the two girls. Further down the bench was AJ and then Dee. This was all planned, of course, because they all wanted M to become better acquainted with L, since she is pretty much the most amazing girl on the planet.
Church starts, but M is late. The doors open, and a fellow squeezes between the wall and the pew to sit in the open space to L's left, leaving now only the open space to Dollface's right. Which is perfect, actually.
Sacrament has been passed and M is still not in the chapel. Dollface goes out into the foyer to find him and in comes T, and sits to L's left, taking Dollface's place and yet still leaving room for M. She leans to L and whispers that M doesn't want to come in late, when in walk M and Dollface and they sit in the pew just in front. (::smirk::)
T looks to L's left and notices Handsome Fellow and across her eyes dart a dark shadow of interest. She lowers her eyes to see that L is holding the hand of Handsome Fellow on her lap and stroking his hand. One could see the mischievous glee light her face as she realizes she's got M in the bag and now she's going to gloat about it. So while L is attending to Handsome Fellow, T writes M a note and tries to pass it up to him, which he brushes away (passing notes in church is obnoxious) and so she drops it in his lap.
L's lip curled into an amused smirk and continued working on the hand of Handsome Fellow. T looked mildly confused that L could be so nonchalant in such a situation, and that her victory did not cause any pain. Until she actually looked at Handsome Fellow and realized that he could easily be an extra in any X-Men movie, due to his bulk, his strength, and his movie-star tough-guy teddy-bear looks. So T's victory wasn't so sweet after all, as L had managed to find herself a superhero.
As people stood to bear their testimonies to one another, L dropped her arm around Handsome Fellow's shoulders and rubbed the back of his neck, which T took jealous notice of. There was not a single thing L did which T did not account. Hmm, not feeling so winner-y now, are ya?
Once the first hour was over and members were standing  to chat with each other, L got M's attention and, indicating the Handsome Fellow, introduced him to her Little Brother. L had actually been massaging an injury Little Brother had acquired during wrestling practice. Whoops T, that little vindictive note passing to certify your championship based on forfeiture was built on unsteady ground. Nice try little lady, but you haven't won.
Hahahahahahahahaha.
It's time for Sunday School and it's been determined that M should accompany Dollface to Gospel Essentials while Dee and Little Brother go to Mission Prep and L'll continue in Gospel Doctrine and join each other again come Break the Fast. Of course, T follows to Gospel Essentials, but that was pretty much a given.
While everyone is gathering in the gym for BtF, L has chosen a seat at a table with Little Brother and Usual Friends, and has confided the situation into another friend, JB (who, as it were, is M's ex and she spoke very highly of him). T was all over M, of course, so L and JB carried on because there were other things to attend to. Managing to get their plates filled at the front of the potluck line, they left their food at the table and went to chat to M, who hadn't noticed JB there. They were chatting well and good, friendly, friendly, while J, from the dance, stood by. Those two had gotten closer and seemed to be a pair, which is good. M needs a dude friend in the church. During the conversation, T has sat down and began eating, with ample seating on either side of her. M and J go to the food while JB and L go to their seats, at a full table, with only one open seat in front of JB and one next to L.
Upon filling their plates, J and M come and sit with L and JB. Shock! L turned to M and asked, "Why aren't you sitting with your girlfriend?" His silence then was returned with L stating, "But then, maybe you ARE sitting with your girlfriend! CP [the girl on his other side] is a LUCKY girl indeed." The poor boy could only stammer. (L really needs to find somebody that can keep up. Really.)
Once everyone begins to tear down and clean up, T is back on M faster than a fat kid on candy, completely ignoring J (wouldn't you know?) and being her usual pest self. JB and L are doing all they can to not punch this girl in the face, and express themselves through facial expressions and angry gestures.
M looks like he's fixing to leave, so L asks where he's going. He said he'd like to go anywhere but home, so L invites him to Sunday Dinner. They arrange for him to follow her and they leave the building. As they separate to go to their individual vehicles, T comes out of the church and M asks if she's okay. Well, it looks like her brother left her here, because his car was HERE when they arrived and now it's gone. (While any girl in a similar situation would have actually told her brother to go ahead and go home because she'll get a ride. We know how this works.) So M offers her a ride home. Face lighting up and a new spring in her step, she accepts and jumps in his car. L told M to just meet her at her apartment when he was done.
L later finds out from RavenHaired Roommate that T lives two minutes away from Sunday Dinner and so L called M arranging a meeting at a nearby location so he didn't have to drive all the way back. Because L is kindhearted like that. (Okay, so it was actually RavenHaired's idea.)
M and L meet fine and M hops into L's car and rides to Sunday Dinner. Along the way, they discuss T and her motivation. L reiterates that no attention had been paid to him UNTIL L had playfully hit on J. M wants to know if T cared for him at all, and L assured him that she may NOW, but it was inspired from jealousy and high-school tactics. Well, wouldn't you know, he felt used. Poor thing, hate to say I Told You So, so I'll just say... I Was Right.
Sunday Dinner went well. L had warned M of T and he was beginning to see the light. It wasn't that L was trying to get M for herself, but genuine warning because T is flipping INSANE and few people can tolerate her for very long. She's a very sweet girl, she is, but the need to dominate everything and everyone is obnoxious. Very self-centered... just... very high-school still. Perfect for a Disney attraction, but that's pretty much it. For now.
L introduced M to her adopted family and invited him into her sanctuary. The home in which Sunday Dinner is hosted is truly L's safe place. It's a big deal for L to invite someone to Sunday Dinner. And everything is going well.
Everyone went home and L is watching movies with her BFFdude and M sits beside her. Not only does he sit beside her, but as the evening progresses, he gets snuggly and cuddly. Leaning on her shoulder, holding her hand, kissing her palm, just snuggly, cuddly stuff. And L thinks, "Hey, he got over T pretty fast. Neat."
M tells L that  he'll be telling T what's what and that nothing will be happening between them. Sweet. Apparently, T thinks that someone does not need to define their relationship for them to be official. By merely going out (even once) they are together. So, due to Saturday's activities, they're together, in her mind. So he was going to call her and clarify that that is not so. Fabulous.
When L and M separated for the evening, L made sure to ask M what was going on between the two, so she didn't turn into T and think something was going on when it wasn't. When M answered that he's "just talking to people right now" L understood that she was nothing more than a snugglebuddy and was a little irked. But knowing that is better than not knowing.
M and L made plans to go running Monday morning at 9. Good night, good night.
