Tommy and I walked down the halls of the bait shop. It was his shift to keep watch tonight until two. That means Lucas would be watching over Rain and me. Though given the circumstances that Jamie and the others are here as well, uncle Seth might have different plans.
When we entered the dining room, we saw Rain and Damian sitting in the floor engrossed in a movie. They were eating popcorn and drinking juice.
Rain looked up and waved her hand with a cheesy smile. I waved back and watched her turn her attention back to the movie. I was happy that even though she didn't have a normal childhood, she was still a happy kid. My little strong angel.
Looking at the adults, I nearly burst into laughter when I saw both Tyson and Leslie snoring, while Mich was mesmerized with the kids at the show.
Both Leslie and Tyson were making too much noise snoring; Mich kicked each of them on the feet to wake them up. Leslie shot up and wiped her face of any drool, while Tyce threw a pillow at Mich so that she'd leave him alone. The pillow hit her right on the head and bounced off to the floor. She just sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes at him.
Tommy snickered from right next to me. Seeing the amusement in his eyes had me cover my mouth so I wouldn't be heard laughing.
"They are going to hate us." Tommy whispered chuckling.
I didn't understand why he said that until I saw him recording everything on his phone.
"This is what happens when you let kids watch over kids." He said to his phone while it recorded.
Blake came into the room and froze when he saw us. He scanned the room and when his eyes landed on me he smiled sympathetically.
"Hey it's time to get you guys outta here. Seth booked you guys in separate rooms at a hotel near here. Tom you're staying with Seth tonight, Lucas and I are watching over the kids."
Tommy snickered one more time then stopped recording. "Got it. Be good Laila." He said then kissed my head and left the room.
"Ima let the kids finish their movie, then we leave ok."
I nodded my head. "So uncle Seth wants to keep us all together huh?"
"Yes, but can you do me a favor and go wake gazelle up."
"Jamie's sleeping?" I asked in surprise. I get he might have wanted his space but how in the world can he sleep after everything that's happened?
"Something like that."
"What do you mean?" I pressed suspiciously.
"Well he's kinda drunk."
What?! I hope I heard wrong. Jamie is drunk? What is with this man?!
Blake looked at me guilty, then blushed. "I kinda talked him into drinking with me. He didn't want to at first, but the poor kid looked so depressed I thought he needed it. But one drink turned to two and then three, until he just kept drinking."
How long was Tommy and I talking on the roof? One-two and a half hours. During the duration of that time Blake got Jamie drunk? What kind of a guard is that?!
"Where is he?"
"Ah, the guest room."
I didn't wait a second longer before I rushed to find the supposed grown adult. What are these men thinking getting drunk at a time like this?! How could they be so irresponsible?!
