| "Weeeeellll....wouldya lookie at that.." Jamie's uncle grabbed her father's shoulder and shoved him toward the window. "Yeah....lookie.." he answered his brother-in-law, as the both watched the tall blonde Hanson kid kiss Jamie so thoroughly her toes were curling. "Jimmy'd shit a brick ya know.." Mongo slurred at his brother-in-law. "Yup." he answered, then sighed heavily as he saw the look on his daughter's face when the boy let go of her. "Damn. Never seen her look like THAT before..." her uncle slurred. "Nope." her father answered again and took a huge swig off his beer. "Serious, aint it, bro?" Mongo asked, without tearing his gaze from the window. "Uh-huh..." Jamie's father answered and took another long drink, as he watched Jamie pull away on her motorcycle, leaving that Hanson kid...Taylor...he better get used to his name...standing there staring after her, with the goofiest smile on his face. "Hang on to your boots Daddy.." Mongo teased, slaping his brother-in-law on his back. "Bethy used to look at you like that.." he said quietly and grabbed two more beers, handing one to Jamie's dad before they settled themselves in their respective chairs to watch TV. "Ike..." Tay called his brother's name forcefully, with no response. "Ike..." he called again, but his brother only grumbled and rolled over. pulling the covers up around his shoulders. "Shit!" Taylor exclaimed under his breath and shook Isaac, hard. "Dammit Ike wake up!" he barked, frustrated. Ike rolled slowly over and looked at his brother with only one eye opened. "What the fuck do you WANT? I'm sleepin' here.." Isaac complained, it had taken him long enough to get to sleep in the first place, he couldn't get Jade out of his head. "I want you to get your ass up and get your stinky body in the shower. You're coming to Jamie's with me.." he said and yanked the blanket off his brother, grinning evilly. "Dammit Tay.." Ike complained. "Why would I wanna watch you and Jamie make goo goo eyes at each other?" "BECAUSE." Taylor smiled, "Jade got plastered and slept at Jamie's and she was distraught cause she bitched Josh out and hung up on him..she 'needs a shoulder' Get up buttmunch. You know you wanna see her.." Taylor teased. "And Jamie's working on a new song..just come on.." he urged. "We're bringing breakfast." Ike groaned loudly. "Fine." he rolled his boxer-clad body out of bed, ran a hand through his wild curls, and grabbed a towel out of the linen closet on his way to the shower. "Oh yeah...like you can fool me.." Tay joked as Ike gave him a dirty look. "Shut up.." Ike snapped, but couldn't supress the huge smile that spread across his face as he closed the bathroom door. "I saw you, you GEEK.." Taylor hollered from the other side of the door. "Bite me..." Ike called back as he turned on the faucet, still grinning from ear to ear. "HEY WHY DON'T YOU FUCKING WHIPPED ASSOLES SHUT UP AND LET A GUY SLEEP??" Zac hollered from his bed, then hauled the covers over his head. Taylor laughed out loud and went into Zac's room. "Stay up watchin' that channel mom supposedly put the lock on, Zac?" he teased. "Fuck no.." Zac grumbled and threw the covers back to give Taylor a dirty look. "Why the hell do I need that channel when I have to listen to Ike beat his meat or you holler Jamie's name in your wet dreams asshole?" He hauled the covers back up over his head, leaving Taylor standing there in shock. "You're not bitter are you?" Taylor asked sharply and folded his arms over his chest. "Can I PLEASE go back to sleep? PLEASE?" Zac complained. "Fine." Taylor answered, trying hard not to be angry with Zac. He knew his brother was NOT a morning person, and wouldn't even be coherent until after NOON. Besides, he didn't know how to respond to Zac's taunt. He DID dream about Jamie, but didn't realize he talked in his sleep. "Zac, when you're human..you can bring Ike's car over to Jamie's. Jame says Patti'd cave for ANY excuse to hang out with you." Taylor grinned when Zac looked up at him. "Put the keys on my dresser.." Zac muttered and pulled the covers back over his head. "Later, Zac." Taylor said and chucked Ike's keys next to Zac's wallet. Jade groaned and rolled over, the ringing of the phone echoing like a fire alarm in her head. "Fuck.." she moaned, sat up and grabbed her temples. It took her a minute to realize she had indeed slept on Jamie's futon, then gasped as she recalled the number of beers she'd had. "Yeah..yeah OKAY!" she yelled at the insistently ringing phone, vowing in her head to KILL Taylor if that was him. "Hello?" she groaned into the reciever. "Jadeleigh babe!" Jamie giggled into the phone. "How ya feelin' homie?" she asked, amused, knowing her friend was hungover worse than she'd ever felt in her life. "Like you don't know the answer, Jameson.." Jade retorted. "Did I really drink those all by myself?" she asked. "Uh-huh." Jamie chuckled. "Hey, I'm on my way home. Get your ass in the shower, take FOUR of those aspirin in the left hand side of the medicine cabinet, and drink a glass of the red stuff in the fridge. Not necessarily in that order...I am having breakfast delivered. I wanna get that song finished BEFORE Pat and Tami show up, okay? I know how you feel about playing on front of anyone but me.." Jamie rolled her eyes at her friend's timidity. Jamie had taught Jade to play and was amazed at how quickly she picked up on it. She'd really gotten good at it in the last five years, she was a natural, and she'd just as soon make a place for Jade in the band than Angel. "It's the least you could do after what you said to me IN FRONT OF TAYLOR.." she admonished. Jade groaned. "Jameson...oh no...what did I say?" she asked, worried. "Don't worry about it, babe. Just get your ass in the shower, do my famous hangover remedy...if it works for daddy it'll work for anyone..and if you don't wanna scare the delivery guys do something with that mop of hair..." Jamie continued to tease her friend. "I'll be home in 10 minutes." "Kay.." Jade sighed. "Do I have to drink that nasty red shit you whip up?" "YES." Jamie commanded. "Trust your fairy-godmother here and do as I tell you. See you in ten. WOO HOO!! PUNCH OUT TIME!! WEEKEND!!! On my way.." she yelled into the phone over the loud ringing of the laoding dock bell. "See ya Jame.." Jade groaned and hung up the phone in the same instant Jamie did. |
