When Daddy's A Rockstar..., chapter 4
"DAD!" I yelled and ran up to him. "Hey kiddo", he greeted as he embraced me in our first hug in a long time. I moved aside for a moment as he greeted Stella. I looked over to see Billie hugging Joey and Jakob. "Come on", Dad said. "Let's get going back to the hotel." "Don't you guys usually stay in the bus?" Joey asked. "Well an extra bus is waiting at our next location, since we all can't fit in the buses we have. So for this location we're staying in a hotel," Billie replied.
When we got to the hotel, Stella and I went to our suite. When we walked in I could see a brown head of hair popping up from the couch. "Ramona!" I yelled. "Hey guys," she greeted us with hugs. "So what's new... anything interesting?" Ramona asked innocently. Stella looked at me, "You going to tell her or will I have to?" I decided to leave it up to Stella. "I'm going to unpack," I gave as my answer. Sure enough a few minutes later I heard a squeal and Ramona burst through my bedroom door. "You're going out with Jakob?" "Yep", I replied casually as I sorted through my suitcase. Ramona was in shock. "Ha, I knew something there was something between you two," she stated matter-of-factly. "Why does everyone keep saying that?" I asked. "Because it was obvious." "Well if it was so obvious why'd you act so surprised when you found out that we were a couple?" She eyed me for a moment before replying, "We just never thought that you'd act on it." I sighed and walked out, deciding on taking a shower. When I got out Joey and Jakob were sitting on our couch watching T.V. "Geez guys, this is our suite not yours, but you know make yourself comfortable and all," I joked as they looked up. Jakob motioned for me to sit on his lap so I did. "Now I'm comfortable", he whispered in my ear, his warm breath and hands resting on my hips sending a shiver down my spine. Ramona and Stella came out of their rooms. "Hey guys you want to go grab something to eat?" Joey asked. I was too jet lagged to leave the hotel so I declined saying that I was going to have a quiet night in and maybe order some room service. Jakob agreed with me saying that he'd rather spend the night in too. "OK", Stella said, "the adults are going out so you'll be by yourself", "Which means", Ramona cut in, "no funky business you two," she added with a wink as they all exited through the door.
About an hour and a half, and a huge order of room service (mainly for Jakob) later, we decided to order a pay per view movie. We decided on 'The longest yard'. Half way through the movie Jakob pulled out a packet of cigarettes and offered me one. "Are we even allowed to smoke in the rooms?" I asked. "Good point", he said. He looked around thoughtfully for a moment before telling me to grab the room key. I did so and when I came back with it Jakob grabbed my hand and led me out the door and into the lift. We got outside and I once again glued myself to Jakob's side for warmth. He cuddled me right back and I smiled to myself. He pulled out the cigarettes from before. I took one and he lit it for me. We stood out in the cold and smoked a few more. I was cuddling up to Jakob, and with cigarettes loosely dangling between two fingers we began to make out. I knew we probably shouldn't be doing this in public but we weren't all that visible, stuffed in a little corner, we were probably hard to identify. I was wrong. I heard someone clear their throat behind me clearly wanting us to acknowledge their presence. I was about to turn around and tell them to go stick it when I noticed it was Dad, with Billie and Tre. Oh No! I looked down at my hands and noticed I still had the lit cigarette in my fingers. My father's eyes followed my line of vision to my hands. NO! Yep he had noticed. "Put it out... NOW!" my Dad said sternly. I did as I was told and followed him inside with Billie grabbing Jakob by the wrist, grabbing the cigarette out of his hand, stubbing it out and pointing inside indicating Jakob should follow us upstairs.
When we got upstairs we said nothing and sat down on the couch. Just as Dad was about to speak Joey, Stella and Ramona came through the door rather loudly laughing and talking. They immediately shut up when they looked over at us and the harsh looks on Dad and Billie's faces. "Alright what did they do this time?" Stella joked. Tre got up and ushered out and into his room. "Aww... But I want to listen," Joey pouted rather childishly.
Once they were gone everything was silent. "I'm not a hypocrite so I'm not going to blow up about this... too much," Dad started. "I have one question though." Confused I asked what. "Didn't getting suspended and getting in as much trouble as you did for smoking have any effect on you?" Damn! Why did he have to make us feel guilty? "I just want you to apologise for breaking your promise. That's all." "And your mothers needn't find out about tonight," Billie added. We apologised and were sent to bed. Great, I thought to myself. First night seeing your father in months and you blow it by making him upset with you. Well tomorrow that's going to change; I thought to myself, I'm going to make a real effort this time.
