Rescue Me

Chapter 14: Juliet

I have been at Amos's house for week now. We have gone back and forth bringing more and more of mine and the triplets things over.

 I do feel guilty being here for so long but I want to make sure it Is safe before I bring the babies back over to our house.I haven't heard from my father or the man who is looking for him all week. I am not naive enough to think it will stay that way, but I sure can hope. 

I have only seen Amos's father a few times. He seems really nice but he is gone before I get up in the morning and is usually in bed by 5pm so I don't get to see much of him.

Gloria has been watching the triplets for me while I go to work. She texts me every hour giving me an update on them, which I appreciate.

There haven't been anymore kissing incidents since the day I kissed Braylon and Amos. I still haven't talked to either of them about it but at this point I don't think I will. They clearly only wanted that and nothing more so I don't see the point.

I park on the street out side of Amos's house. I could park in my drive way but it makes me feel better being able to look out the window and see my car.

As I am making my way up the porch Jameson opens the door and shuts it behind him.

"Oh hi" I say giving him a smile. The guys have been over every day this week, which I enjoy. They make me laugh and it's been nice having some help with the triplets.

"Hey, how was work?" He asks giving me a big smile. I have warmed up to Jameson quite a bit. I no longer see him as a womanizing pig, but as a genuinely sweet guy who just happens to be a giant flirt. 

"Not too bad but I am glad I'm home" 

"Well I'm glad it wasn't a bad shift" for some reason he seems nervous. Eyes darting around, rocking on his heels, hands shoved in his pockets.

"Yeah.. are you okay?" I raise an eyebrow at him

"Oh yeah, um I actually wanted to ask you something" he rubs the back of his neck and let's out an awkward laugh.

"Okay? Should I be scared" he's kind of worrying me a little.

"No not at all. I just wanted to know if you would like to have dinner with me tonight ?" I stare at him for a moment. Does he mean like a date? There's no way. He probably just means as friends.

"Oh. Well I would have to ask Gloria if she would be okay watching the babies" I say

"I already asked the guys and they are willing to" he smiles sheepishly.

"Oh well then okay. Can I shower first?" I never like doing anything after work unless I shower. Cleaning gross hotel rooms all day makes me feel dirty.

"Oh yeah of course. No rush" he says with a smile. We walk inside and I beeline for the triplets all laughing on the ground in the living room. I give them each a squeeze and a kiss before going to the guest room to grab a towel and a change of clothes heading to the bathroom.

I take a quick shower just to wash my body. After I finish drying off, I put on my light wash skinny jeans, black converse and a black Morgan Wallen tshirt. I don't wear makeup because I have no idea what I'm doing with it and I don't need to spend the money in it.

"Hey I'm ready whenever you are" I say when I enter the living room. Jameson looks up at me and smiles.

"You look great" I'm not wearing anything different than I usually do so I just give him a smile.

"Please text me if they get to be too much or anything happens" I tell Amos.

"Don't worry ángel" he tells me with a wink
