Chapter 10 Uneasy
Back at the villas the twins are in their rooms getting ready to go to the pool. Lauren is busy putting sun block on both Tyler and Ashlee. "Why do we have to wear this stuff?"Tyler asked in annoyed tone.
"Because I said so, and because you'll get sun burnt if you don't." Lauren responded. Ashlee heard someone knocking on the door and she turned in the direction of the knock; she goes to answer the door. "Freeze missy, I'll get that," Lauren said in a serious tone. When she opened the door there stood the twins in their suits, wrapped in sarongs, in their favorite colors pink and purple along with some stylish flip flops. "Well you two look really cute and all ready to go," Lauren commented.
"Mommy we're ready," Tyler said anxiously.
"Oh ok you two do me a big favor and listen to Lianna and Cienna. Don't give them a hard time or I will know about it understood." Lauren let them off with a firm warning.
"We'll keep a close eye on them both Aunt Lauren, we promise," Lianna assured Lauren.
"Good if anything was to go wrong… Just be responsible. If you feel something isn't right bring them back please." Lauren was serious and the girls knew she meant business. They both nodded in agreement and were on their way to the pool with Tyler and Ashlee, which was on the other side of the villas. "Whew man either I've still got a buzz from that Mai Tai or I'm just really tired." Lauren thought to herself. Lauren went to lay down when she heard another knock on the door this time is was her sister.
"Hey there you said come right in," Laura said as she entered the villa.
"Hey sis, man I'm tired. Next time I'll skip the Mai Tai." Laura laughed at her sister's remark as she made herself comfortable on the sofa. "Oh no! I forgot we're supposed to go out for dinner tonight ugh!" Lauren remembered.
"So..." Laura remarked.
"The kids, girls will you um...?" Lauren's voice trailed off.
"Yes bring them on. All you have to do is ask. Ugh you are a mess typical you." Both Lauren and Laura began laughing when the door swung open and there stood Tim. "Well hello to you too stranger!" Laura remarked as she got up to give her brother-in-law a hug.
"Well you look ravishing this evening ladies," Tim said with a sill smile on his face.
"Oh no you didn't are you drinking?" Lauren asked Tim.
"No Hon, just happy!" Tim said as he planted a kiss on Laurens lips. "I only had one beer. On an empty stomach," Tim said with regret.
"Get in the shower you clown. We have dinner reservations remember?" Lauren reminds him.
"Oh yeah in about an hour and a half," Tim said as he went into their room. "Set up a bag for me you know for the kids and I'll get out of your hair." Laura reminds her.
"Ooh let me get to it," Lauren says as she goes into the kids rooms gets a few things for them. Moments later she appears with an overnight bag full of things for the kids. "Ok I have their jammies, slippers, and Ashlee favorite teddy, and blanket and clothes and tooth brushes."
"I think you forgot the kitchen sink." They burst into laughter and Laura leans over and give her sister a hug and heads out the door. "I'm going to the pool area to let them know they're staying with me tonight ok," Laura yells out the door.
"Ok and thanks!" Lauren yells back.
Laura heads over to the pool when she becomes alarmed. The mystery man makes an appearance and looks as if he's headed in her direction. Frightened she practically jogs to the pool where the kids are and tries to shake off the experience. But when she looks back the man is gone not having any idea which way he went she decides to get the kids and turn in early. "Ok kids change of plans we're heading in early tonight. Let's go everybody out," Lauren insists still shaken a bit.
"Mom a little longer, please," Cienna pleads while holding Ashlee piggy back. There were other kids in the pools with them as well so she changes he mind. "Oh alright just for a little longer and then were off." Laura tells Cienna. Lianna notices how unnerved her mother is and decides to get out of the pool and check on her.
"Cee, be right back watch Tyler for a minute please?" Lianna asks her twin.
"Ok, go ahead," Cienna replies keeping Tyler and Ashlee in the shallow end of the pool.
"Mom you ok you seem I don't know weird?" Lianna asks her mom.
"No honey I'm fine a bit tired but fine. Now go swim have some fun go on," Laura insisted.
"Um ok if you need me holler mom." Lianna always had a six sense of things when it came to her mom. She picked up on things that her twin didn't ever realize were there.
"I will sweetie, go we'll be leaving soon." Laura sent Lianna back into the pool and sat in one of the lounge chairs. Looking around to see if she saw that man again but she relaxed finally and kept watch over the kids till it was time to go.
