(JayPOV) The Night Before The Tour
"But we did!" Lani said to the counterman. She was starting to get desperate. We had arrived at our first hotel but the system says we never booked any rooms. Tomorrow night we have got a show to rock out, but apparently no place to stay tonight.
"We will have to sleep in the bus." said Johnson as he dropped himself on a couch.
Right. The bus.
"I was waiting for the comfort of a hotel room." I said, "Like that couch." and then sat next to him.
"It is a good couch." he said, "Its cold."
"You two seem bored." Graupner said as he sat on another couch.
"We are just complimenting a couch." I said and looked at the counter. Lani was still discussing.
If none of us are there its because she said no help was needed.
"Complimenting a couch." he repeated. "Is that how you practice for the ladies?"
A laugh came from behind the couch. It was Jerad. "G, you always say the funniest things."
"Shut up, guys." I said, "Will we have rooms or not?"
"Here comes Lani, and she doesn't look happy." said Graupner.
He was right, by looking at Lani, you would think she is the world´s enemy.
"I didn't get to fix it, they insist we never booked a single room!" she said hysterically.
"To the bus we go." said Johnson in his lowest voice.
"Yay!" I said with a tone of sarcasm.
"This is not acceptable in any way. I cannot believe it!" Lani kept on talking, I just ignored her.
"Keep it cool." said Uncle Larry, "Lets go to the bus."
"Jackson wouldn't want to leave his precious couch." Graupner said with a laugh.
"Ha ha, so funny, Ben." I said as I got up from the couch and stretched myself.
Lani was the first to walk out of the hotel but not without first giving the dead look at the counterman. We all followed her to the bus.
"Its not that bad." said Jerad, "You know we have slept here before."
"Yeah but we knew we had to sleep here. I was hoping to be in a bed tonight." I said as I went inside the bus.
"He was probably hoping to do something else." Graupner chuckled.
I looked at Jerad, he was already doing something else and hopefully didn't hear what Ben said.
"We were all hoping to be in a bed tonight, Jackson." said Jerad after he finished what he was doing. "I wanted to take a cold shower."
Most of us said "me too" at the same time. This place will smell like 100 monkeys in no time. We are all already feeling like this and the tour officially starts tomorrow. Not the kind of start I was expecting...
"Change that face, Jackson. Its not like the world is ending." said Graupner. "We just have to sleep in the bus."
"There is like ten of us in here." said Carl.
We heard Johnson saying "I'm going to pass out now." from somewhere in the bus.
"At least we got the A/C. I wouldn't complain, it could be worse." said Jerad.
"Shh, the A/C could hear you and stop working." Graupner said in a whisper.
"Please dont, A/C!" I said with a pleading voice, following Graupner´s joke.
That got a laugh from Uncle Larry.
"Its too soon for the A/C to stop working." said Jerad, "I'm going to sleep now."
"I will too." I said, yawning after-wards.
"Sleep tight, couch boy." said Graupner.
I turned around and he had that huge innocent smile of his.
