Sorry if this is a bit late… but –limited access to the computer on my tropical vacation. So don't expect chapter to be coming out every week, I will try to! But any way to the next chapter!
Previously…
She ducked, barley avoiding a white portable radio that had been thrown in her direction. She looked at the broken radio behind her.
Jess turned to see the source of the nerve wracking noise.
Now…
The board room had somehow enlarged itself twice its normal size. Jess stared in awe at the transformed room.
Smack in the middle, sitting in a chair that looked like it should be in a palace, was Emily… holding a baby wrapped in a white lace sheet. The baby was wailing loudly in her arms.
Emily herself was wearing a stunning gold dress. V neck and stopped just above her knees, it had a draped front skirt. On her feet where a simple, yet elegant pair of gold heels. Her hair was curled to the point, and hung down to the middle of her back.
Behind Emily's grandeur chair, was another slightly smaller black chair, with a design similar to Emily's throne.
There sat Matt, grinning his arse off, slouching on the chair, his legs stretched out in front of him. He had on a black leather jacket, with a black and white strip shirt underneath. He had a pair of dress pants and shoes on.
The cause of all the clatter was found out when Jess ducked as another object went flying over her head. Behind Emily and Matt's chairs, was a marble counter, wide enough for two diictodons to stand on. The two troublesome diictodons, Sid and Nancy, had their tails swinging, hitting every object on the counter.
The objects went flying throughout the room. One tea cup happened to hit Matt square on the back of his head. He turned to sneer at the two creatures, hissing through his teeth. He turned his head back around and resumed grinning widely showing his teeth.
Jess blinked in astonishment. Matt was never that happy. Beside the whole commotion, they ignored the flying objects, and stared with a dreamy daze in their face.
"Why are you grinning?" Jess blurted aiming the question to Matt. He remained unfazed, grinning like a maniac.
Emily answered in a monotone. "He is very much like a Cheshire tom , that is why."
"I didn't know Matt could grin like that!" Jess mused, hiding a fit of giggles.
"Of course he can, you insolent girl." Emily snapped. "Especially in my company. And that my dear is a proven fact." Emily ended on a calm note.
She looked down at the screaming baby, and rocked him roughly in her arms. Bouncing him a little higher each time. Jess stared in horror, 'What the hell was Emily doing?'
Emily cooed at the baby and spoke,
"Speak roughly to your little boy, and beat him when he sneezes, he only does it to annoy, because he knows it teases. " She finished her poem, yet the baby continued to wail and even louder. She let out a frustrated sigh. Jess sneezed and Matt grinned if wider.
"Here nurse it, if you must. " Emily spoke throwing the baby at Jess. Jess barley caught the poor thing before he had a fit of sneezes.
It took a few moments for Jess to hold the baby properly. The poor thing was failing his arms and legs everywhere.
"I have to ready myself for a meeting with the 'Queen of Hearts'. How do you suppose I must dress for someone you have never met in your life?" Emily stood up from her thrown. Jess gave no answer holding the screaming baby. Emily clapped her hands once and got up crossing the room and entering another door, which Jess had not noticed. Emily had avoided everything that went flying toward her as she entered the room.
Jess looked back at the two, now empty thrones- Matt had vanished. Jess looked around wondering where he had gone off too.
The baby had still not stopped crying or sneezes, wiggling in the sheet, and at times he would make a strange clicking noise. 'Well, I can't just leave him. The poor thing has no one to care for him.' Jess walked out the door, pulling it shut behind her. The baby wailed as the door shut.
"Stop moving." Jess said sternly to the wrapped up bundle. The child was wiggling violently in her arms. "Stop!" she yelled.
She looked down at the covered bundle. She pulled back the sheet – "Rex!" Jess cried.
The creature jumped out of her arms and soared over her head. "Well, you did make a terrible baby." Rex gave her a reproachful look and flew down the hallway.
"Wait!" Jess yelled. She took after the creature, running down the corridors. She came to an abrupt stop. 'Why am I making a fool out of myself by chasing a flying dinosaur?' She shook her head. 'Why is everything so confusing today? And where the hell is everybody?'
She stomped and spun on her heels, walking the opposite way. Jess continued down a hallway that just seemed to become a maze of left and rights. She ended up at a crossroad, that divided into two separate hallways. Each was blocked by a tall woman, with the identical voluptuous figure, yet very much a different person.
Yes! Completed another chapter! Okay guess whose next ;) I love this chapter and the next and the next…. ;)
