Roman's daughter

Chapter 6

I watched as Jacob and Jason had another drink. I took in the alcoholic air, since I wasn't legal to drink. This had to have been their 10th drink. I listened to the music. 7/11 by Beyoncè was on. I sighed. Noticing this, Jacob put his drink down. "Wanna drink?" He asked. I did want one, but I'd be just like them. Start off with one, then go on until I was in bed with a random old drunk guy. "Nah" I said. He turned back to the bar stool and sat by Jason. I excelled my air. This was not how I wanted to spend my Friday night. I wanted to dance. I wanted to hear the man on the saxophone in downtown. I wanted to sightsee. We were only here for a day. "babe let's go explore the city" I said to him. He hit the bar with the shot glass. "Why? Aren't you having fun?" he asked me. I could already tell he was drunk. He wasn't talking in his regular tone. "um, no" I said Distastefully. Now, don't judge me now but bars aren't really my type. Some people think it's because I can't drink but what are bars for. Getting high, stripping and having sex with random people, then realizing you may have went to far and leaving them. Alone in the dust. "- Let's leave. We can go get some ice cream or something else. Or, even better, shopping!" I said. He touched all on me. "Or we can stay here and have some fun" he said. Yep definitely drunk. See what Whiskey does to you. "no thanks, maybe.... Later" I said rolling my eyes and turning to leave. The alcohol must've worn off when I turned to leave, cause he chased after me. I was already out of the club and into the cool city air. I checked the time. 11:30 pm. Since I was 5 minutes from the hotel, I decided to get some food. I was starving. Luckily there was a Wendy's and I had a $5 bill. I dug deeper in my purse to find a $20."Jazz where are you going" I heard Jacob say. I turned around and saw both Jacob and Jason. They wanted to come get me now; when I was leaving the bar. "Wendy's" I shrugged. "Then sightseeing, then maybe to get some ice cream" I said. I began to walk away. They caught up to me. "Can I help you? Why don't you go back to the bar, with the drinks and loud music?" I ask them. They look disappointed. I was disappointed. There's more to life than drinking, sex and clubs. I didn't want that for my life. Sure I'd love to have a drink and go to a party every once in a while, but right now, my time wasn't on that. Jacob let me down. He chose the drink over me, and I was worth way more than some alcoholic beverage. "Jazz I'm sorry. Let's go explore and get some Ice cream, probably Buttered Pecan, I know how much you like it." He says kissing my forehead. I smile for the first time tonight. I let myself relax as Jacob wraps his arm around me, causing me to feel warm. Jason also walks up to us. I completely forgot about him. He also wrapped his arm around me. I felt like a high schooler walking the streets with her two best friends. "Mhm" Jacob cleared his throat. He looked at Jason. "No fair she was my girlfriend first" he complained. "First" Jacob came back with. I looked up at Jason. Then at Jacob. I have a suggestion. I hate people fighting over me. Even my parents, well parent. "How about no one wrap their arm around me, you know, so you two don't fight." They looked at each other and scoffed. I rolled my eyes. "Mhm" I cleared my throat this time? They removed their arms from around me. I shivered a bit. It was getting cool out. Noticing this, Jacob offered me his jacket. "Baby are you cold; do you want my jacket?" I shook my head no. "I-I'm good. It-it's no p-problem" oh my Gosh. It had gotten so fucking cold. "We'll be at Wendy's as soon as we cross the street." Jason told me. We made it to the stop light. 15 seconds before we can cross. "Oh fuck no!" I said. I ran across the street trying not to get hit. I slipped through the taxi's and cars. Jason and Jacob didn't find it funny. I,however, found this exciting and hilarious. I was halfway across the street, when they finally acknowledged. "Just Stop right there!" Jacob yelled. I was still running and playing in the street. "Why so I can get hit?!" I asked. They both looked pissed of at me. Sorry mom, I know you always told me never to play in the streets, but this is too much fun. My adrenaline was like a fuel propane fire, just growing bigger whenever I dodged a car. "Jazzmine, when we walk across this street, I swear I'll-" I made it across getting looks from other people. Breathing heavily, I shook it off. Jason and Jacob both walking furiously to me. I wiped sweat from my head. "Oh my gosh that was awesome and so much fun!" I practically screamed to them. None of them shared the smile I did. "Jazz, you could've been hurt. Don't ever do that again. !" Jacob gave me a bear hug. Jason also joined the hug. "You really scared me Jazz" Jason said. Ok, I can see why they would be a little worried, but I just had the best moment of my short life. I shrugged. "Well I'm starving so dad.... Let's go eat!" I say. They stare at each other. "Dads?!" They repeat in unison. I begin to walk away. They run up to me. "Whoa, whoa and whoa!" Jason says. "You think of us as dads?" Asks Jacob. I walk in the venue. "Awesome there's no line!" I say walking up to the counter. "Hi, can I get a #2 with some Mac sauce?" I ask. Me and the cashier start laughing at the lyrics from Nicki Manaj. "No I'm just kidding! " I say still slightly laughing. "Can I have a #1 with an, um, Sprite" I say. Ugh I had no idea what I wanted. "Ok and for you two? She asks looking at Jacob and Jason. "I'm good" they both say. I scoffed. My boyfriend, ex and dads didn't want food. I hated eating alone, with people watching me. It didn't work. "Guys at least get some fries. I don't want you guys hungry." I sighed. Liar. "Do you have money?" Asked Jacob. This bitch want me to pay for him. Bye! "Yeah for emergencies only" I say again. We were wasting the cashier's time and my hunger problem was growing like flowers in spring. "Then why are you here?" He asks eyebrow raised. "Um excuse me, but my hunger is an emergency!" He rolled his eyes. "Jacob" I gasped. "- are you rolling your eyes at me?!" I asked smirking. He nodded. I turned back to the smiling cashier. Breanna. "Here you go" I gave her a $20 bill even though the meal was $7.50. She gave me my change and a cup. Pointing to the soda fountain. I nodded and got some sprite. As I was filling up my cup, I felt a smack on my butt. "Jacob" I shrieked quietly. "Yes? Mom!" He says before kissing my head. Mom huh? I'll show you mom.
