Chapter Twenty-Four

"My girl!" Jessa yelled as Jamie and I got out of the car at the cottage.

"Hi, babe!" I yelled as I ran over to hug her tightly. 

"Excuse me?" Jamie asked from behind us. 

"Oh shush you, you know she loves you, she's mine this weekend though." Jessa said as she let go of the hug, and just moved an arm around my shoulder as we walked into the cottage to see the rest of the boys. 

"You guys are so late." Ryan said as we walked in.

"What do you mean we're late? We're here today aren't we? When did you guys get here?" Jamie asked. 

"J Dawg, we said we'd get here yesterday." Max replied.

"I told you!" I exclaimed, hitting him lightly in the arm. 

"Dumbass." Myles laughed. 

"Hey I had something really important to do yesterday!" Jamie said, trying to defend himself.

"Oh yeah? What was that, Skyler?" Chris asked as he took a sip of his beer. I gasped at him and slowly walked over, hitting him upside the head too. 

"Woah!" Jamie and I both yelled.

"That was uncalled for!" I said, trying not to laugh a little bit to be honest.

"Was he wrong?" Jamie asked, using his hip to bump mine. 

"Jamie!" I exclaimed and burrowed my face into his chest. He just laughed at me and wrapped his arms around me, as everyone else was laughing as well. 

"You guys are so cute." Jessa said as the laughter died down a little bit. We sat down around the table with everyone else and Jamie slung an arm around my shoulder. 

"So how's the job going?" Eric asked me after some other catching up conversation.

"It's good, going really well. I'm officially the assistant manager of game ops which is awesome." I responded. Jamie gave me a little squeeze and kissed the top of my head. I knew he was super proud of me, he made it clear as day, every day. 

"That's incredible. So when are you guys going to give us free tickets?" Justin asked.

"Dude, how many times have we both told you guys to come down and you have a place to stay and free tickets for any game that you're there for." I said looking at everyone. 

"We'll plan a trip this season." Jessa said, looking at all the guys.

"Yeah, we actually will this time." Myles said.

"Hey I made it to one game last year!" Max said.

"Yeah, the game in Toronto so it doesn't count!" Jamie said, laughing a little bit.

"That's still one more game than these guys." Max said, leaning back in his chair and resting his arms behind his head. We all shook our heads at him while laughing a little bit.

"Well, I've been sitting all day so I'm going to go down to the beach for a walk. Anyone wanna come?" I said as I stood up to leave. There was a unanimous agreement and everyone stood up with me, walking over to the fridge first for everyone to grab another drink for our walk. Jamie grabbed a Corona and a raspberry mojito for me. 

"Do you think we'll still be doing these weekends in ten years?" Ryan asked as we walked down the beach.

"Yeah, why not?" Myles replied. 

"Bring the wives and kids or leave them at home?" Chris asked.

"Depends on how many of us have any of that. As of right now Jamie is the only one who's got at least part of it in the bag." Eric said.
