Hey guys. Quite a short chapter for you here but I've had a few emails asking me if Beth knew about Clay & Aisha and how do I think she would react if/when she did find out. So here's a chapter for all of you guys which I think you'll enjoy :)
When Jensen and Beth returned from their 'arcade trip', they opened the door to see Pooch and Cougar playing cards at the table.
"Pooch, my man," greeted Jensen as he walked over and bumped fists with the man that had been absent for the past few days. "How's the family?"
"Yeah, they're good thanks dude! The little man is almost walking. It's crazy." Pooch replied, his eyes lighting up as he talked about his son. Cougar was paying more attention to Beth. When she had left with Jensen she had been wearing black joggers, an long sleeved white top with her jacket on and her hair loose down her back. Now, her hair was pulled back off her face, her jacket was tied around her waist and her sleeves were rolled up past her elbow. From this Cougar had his doubts that the pair had been to the arcade.
"Is my Dad around?" asked Beth as she removed her jacket from around her waist and placed it on the hanger behind the door. Pooch and Cougar exchanged shifty glances. Beth looked over at Jensen who shrugged his shoulders. All eyes then looked towards Clay's bedroom when the door squeaked open.
"Oh," This was the only word able to leave Beth's lips as Aisha stumbled out of Clay's room in nothing but her underwear. Pooch, Cougar and Jensen all exchanged glances and shrugs. None of them said anything.
"Well…this is… awkward?" Beth said, trying to figure out the right word for the situation and not realising she was talking out loud. Aisha quickly grabbed her night gown from Clay's bedroom floor before wrapping it round herself to cover herself up. Cougar's head lowered, the brim of his hat covering his eyes and Pooch and Jensen seemed as though they didn't know where to look.
"Hey, Beth?" Pooch spoke up after what seemed like a forever of silence, "I got some pictures of my little man in the car if you wanna come out and take a look?" Beth nodded her head, unsure of which direction to direct her eyes.
"That. Would. Be. Awesome." It was clear by the pauses that Beth wasn't quite sure what to say until the second the words left her mouth. She strolled quickly to the front door and walked out, closely followed by Pooch who paused the throw Aisha a 'Really?' glance before heading out after the traumatised teenager.
"Shit," was all Aisha could mumble as Cougar started clearing away the deck of cards that he and Pooch had been playing with.
"Smooth," smiled Jensen as Clay walked out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a towel.
"What's going on?" he asked sternly, noticing the looks of amusement and awkwardness on the remaining members of his team's faces.
"Beth just met her step-mummy," Jensen blurted out. He and Cougar could not hold in the laughter any longer.
"It's not funny!" shouted Aisha, storming over to Jensen and slapping him round the back of the head.
"Wait," Clay said, clearly trying to get his head around the situation. "Beth saw you come out of my room like that?" Aisha nodded her head.
"Well actually," Jensen butted in, "When Aisha first came out of your room she was a little bit more naked. Beth saw Aisha come out of your room in her underwear." Cougar smirked and Jensen resumed his previous fit of giggles.
"You're a jerk, Jensen!" snapped Aisha as she stormed in to her own bedroom and slammed the door behind her.
"Yeah well you shot me!" Jensen shouted loud enough for her to hear, "What do you expect?" This remark even earned Jensen a smile off Clay.
"So where's Beth now?" Clay asked, switching to 'concerned father mode'. Cougar pointed to the front door.
"Pooch took her out to his car to show her some pictures of his kid," explained Jensen, turning the TV on and browsing for something to watch. Cougar retired to his bedroom and Jensen got comfortable on the sofa.
'Great' Clay thought to himself as he returned to his bedroom and closed the door. 'Exactly the conversation I want to have with my teenage daughter' He sat down on the edge of his bed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
It was going to be a very interesting evening.
How about some nice reviews for me to read before I go to bed? (Pretty please) :)
Next chapter up tomorrow x
