Reborn in The Mummy

Chapter Five: The Curse

Later that night, my family was drinking, but it seemed only me and Rick were not very drunk. He was trying to teach Evelyn how to fight, making me laugh.
I saw Jonathan was fast asleep, hugging the bottle, drawing a smile from me hen looking back at Rick and Evelyn.

"Hey, tough stuff, try a right hook.
Ball up your fist and put it... Put it up like that.
And then mean it. Hit it right here."

"Mean it! Okay."

She said, slurring her speech a little before punching forward but almost feel to the floor if Rick had not caught her while I stifled a giggle.

"Okay, it's time for another drink."

"Unlike my brother, Sir, I know when to say no."

I had to stop myself from laughing outright, Evelyn had no self-control once she took one sip of her drink, but Rick looked at her tenderly.

"And unlike your brother and sister, miss, you, I just don't get."

"I know. You're wondering what a place like me is doing in a girl like this."

I muffled my laugh in my bag, I could see Rick shaking slightly from trying not to.

"Yeah, something like that."

"Egypt is in my blood. You see, my father was a very, very famous explorer and he loved Egypt so much, he married my mother, who was an Egyptian and quite an adventurer herself?"

"I get your father and I get your mother, and...I get Jonathan and Regina to an extent, but... What are you doing here?"

"Look, I may not be an explorer or an adventurer or a treasure seeker or a g*n, Mr. O'Connell, but I am proud of what I am."

She said while looking at him with an almost serious face.

"And what is that?"

"I........am a librarian.And I am going to kiss you, Mr. O'Connell."

My eyes widened because I had forgotten how brazen Evelyn was when she was drunk.

"Call me Rick."

"Rick."

They leaned forward thennshe passed out and I couldn't help but crack up loudly, Rick looked fustrated but had to stop the smile as he laid her down to sleep.

"Call me Rick,"

I said in a mocking tone to Rick, who shot me a dirty look, but I smiled at him.

"I am sorry to say, but she will not remember tomorrow."

"She might."

"She won't, but she does like you... a lot."

That made Rick turn his frown upside down before I laid down and went to sleep smiling at the peace before the chaos.

The next morning I woke up to a very hung over Evelyn and Jonathan, I made them some tea and coffee for Rick before going to our make shift shower and washed myself Once I came out I felt someone watching me when I called out.

"I can feel you starring. You might as well come out."

I said, putting up my underwear and then my dress as Beni came out from being an obelisk with a red face and a guilty expression, I looked unimpressed at him.

"Do you enjoy being a pervert?"

"I....I......sorry madame."

I looked at him, and he seemed a bit mortified.
