Chapter 4: Welcome to Casa de Evans
Normal POV
After the group had their dinner at Burger King, they made their way back to the SUVs and drove back onto the road. After about another hour of driving, the group drove into the city of Mandeville and drove straight to a grocery store. After about a half hour of shopping, they were back on the road and currently driving along a mountainous road to the vacation home.
"Wow, look at all these stars!" replied Lita as she looked out the window at the night sky.
"You can't see anything like this in the sky back in the states, not even in Toronto." added Adam as he wrapped an arm around his girlfriend.
"You got that right." said Randy in agreement as he rubbed the back of Amanda's free hand with his thumb, smirking when he saw Amanda threatening to smile at just his gentle touch.
"Amanda, how much longer till we reach your parents' place?" asked Lita as she sat up in her seat while not breaking contact with Edge.
"It's in the valley past this mountain. It won't be long till we get there." answered Amanda as she honked the car horn as they turned at a curve.
"Good, because I don't know how long I can last with you honking that car horn all the time." complained Adam as he watched the houses pass them by.
"Actually, since the sun set, I just needed to have the headlights on high to signal the oncoming traffic. The honking is what we usually do in the daytime." answered Amanda with a small smirk.
"Then why the hell are you still honking the car horn?" asked Adam as he stared at her wide eyed.
"This has just been me getting back at you two for what you did at the Burger King hours ago." answered Amanda as she and Randy exchanged conniving smirks.
"We figured you guys would be so into your kiss that you wouldn't have noticed. Besides, it was Randy that broke it." countered Lita as Amanda turned at another curve.
"That's true too." said Amanda. She let go of Randy's hand to smack him on the cheek, taking him completely by surprise and making Ede and Lita laugh their asses off.
"Really?" asked Randy as he stared at his girlfriend in disbelief.
"Hey, Lita did make a good point." countered Amanda as she tried to stifle a laugh.
"I dislike you both right now." said Randy as he turned to the two in the back.
"Aw, that hurts our feelings." said Edge in mock hurt as he looked at his friends with puppy dog eyes.
"Here we are!" said Amanda as she turned off the road and drove the car onto a dirt road that appeared to have had vehicular traffic run on it before.
"We're here?" asked Lita as she looked around their surroundings, only seeing trees and shrubs all around them.
"You'll see in a minute." said Amanda with a small smirk as she continued to drive them down into the valley. The dirt road soon turned into paved road as the cars passed by a few more houses before they stopped in front of a white iron gate. Amanda quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and climbed out the car to walk over to the gate. She took out a key from her jeans pocket, unlocked the steel lock that held the gate closed, and used her powers to telekinetically swing the gate doors wide eyed open before running back toward the car.
"Please tell me your parents' place is only just past this gate." said Adam as he poked his head forward so that it was between Amanda's and Randy's own.
"Adam, my parents' place is just beyond this gate." said Amanda bluntly as she drove the car through the gate.
"Oh thank God yes! Because I need to pee!" said Adam as he returned to his seat.
"Adam! I told you not to drink that extra-large Pepsi back at the Burger King." said Lita as the group drove past two rows of tropical plants.
"I couldn't resist! The Pepsi calls to me." said Adam all innocent like as he stared out the window.
"Well, at least we don't need to drive anymore cause here we are." said Amanda as she pointed out her window. Randy, Lita, and Edge looked out the right side windows of the car to see the house come into view.
"Oh my goodness! It's even better in person than in the photo!" said Lita as Amanda drove the car over to the three car garage right next to the house.
"You are so nice Lita." said Amanda as she outstretched her hand. She moved her fingers in an upward motion once, making the garage doors rise up on command. She snapped her finger, making the lights turn on, before driving the car into the garage. When she parked the car, she cut the engine and turned to the others.
"Adam, there's a bathroom right through that door!" said Amanda as she pointed to a white door near the silver SUVs parking spot.
"Thank you!" yelled Adam as he ran out the car and straight for the door. Everyone else got out of their cars at a much slower pace and started to get the groceries and their suitcases out of the cars.
"Follow us everyone!" called Monica as she and Amanda walked up a small staircase and through a second white door. The others followed and walked through the doors themselves; instantly setting foot into the gleaming kitchen, which was illuminated by a chandelier in the middle of the ceiling. There was a large silver fridge, a stove, an oven, a whole bunch of cabinets, a pantry, a sink and dishwasher, and a chrome island in the middle of the kitchen with a few stools surrounding it.
"Nice kitchen you have here lassies!" called Sheamus as he watched as Amanda plugged in the fridge.
"Thanks! Just put the groceries on the counter for now and follow us into the living room." said Amanda as she followed Monica through a doorway, dragging her purple suitcase behind her. The group followed after her and some of them let out some small gasps when they walked in. The living room was this big spacious royal blue colored room with floor to ceiling windows that lined one side of the room, a view of the pool and the rest of the valley in the distance. There were two couches, about three recliners, and surprisingly a few beanbag chairs around the room. There was a plasma screen TV on one of the walls with two columns of DVDs on either side of it and the VCR and cable box standing on top of a small table against the wall under the TV. A stereo system stood against another wall with a small cabinet next to it covered with a few photos of the landscape. Other photos lined the walls as a hallway led into the dining room and other parts of the house, a second hallway led into the foyer, and a staircase led into the second floor.
"Okay, like we said before, this place only has eight bedrooms and six bathrooms. Edge graciously showed that one bathroom is in the garage. The rest are upstairs. Four of the eight bedrooms have their own bathroom while the last one is in the hallway. Each couple will take one bedroom and you get free pick. It's first come, first serve, so choose wisely cause if you don't, you will be left to share the hallway bathroom." explained Monica as she adjusted her ever present fedora on her head.
"What about the bathroom in the garage?" asked Layla as she pointed back toward the kitchen.
"That bathroom only has a toilet and a sink." Amanda answered bluntly as she took of her jeans jacket.
"Oh great! We have seven couples here and we definitely know for a fact that four will get their own bathroom while the remaining three couples are stuck sharing the one in the hallway." said Lita as she looked around the group.
"Yep" said Monica with a smile.
"Basically." added Amanda as she took out a blue handkerchief from her pocket and raised it up in the air. "On the count of three, run up as fast as you can and claim a room. Are you ready?"
Everyone got into starting position at the base of the staircase, everyone bumping and shoving each other to try to get the best spot.
"One . . . two . . . three!" called Amanda as she brought her handkerchief down. Everyone bolted up the staircase as fast as they could, but not as fast as Randy, who used his vampire speed to out run the others.
"Hey guys! Where everybody else?" asked Edge as he waked out of the kitchen.
"Upstairs claiming bedrooms." answered Monica.
"If you don't claim a bedroom with a bathroom, you are stuck sharing the one in the hallway." added Amanda as she took a seat on the couch.
"OH HELL NO! THIS GUY NEEDS HIS PRIVATE BATHROOM!" yelled Adam as he bolted up the stairs, leaving the twins by themselves in the living room.
"How long should we give them?" asked Amanda as she looked up at her younger sister.
"Uh, let's give them five minutes." answered Monica with a small smirk as she brought her gray suitcase over to the staircase as she listened into the yells emanating from the second floor. After the five minutes were up, the twins carried their suitcases up the stairs and walked into the hallway to see it practically empty.
"Okay, who has to share the bathroom in the hallway?" asked Amanda as she crossed her arms. A few doors opened to reveal Ted and Barbie, Kofi and Alicia, and Sheamus and Layla to be the lucky losers.
"Aw, you guys lucked out?" asked Monica as she walked down the hallway.
"Yep, Kofi and I actually claimed a bedroom with a bathroom, but Lita and Edge managed to snatch it away from us when we walked into the hallway to grab our suitcases." explained Alicia as she and Kofi walked toward the stairs.
"Well, they don't call Adam the Ultimate Opportunist for nothing." said Ted as he followed Kelly, Sheamus, and Layla, down the staircase. The other doors opened to reveal everyone else in the golden rooms of the house.
"Congrats on finding the rooms with the bathrooms guys." said Amanda as she walked over to Randy, who was standing in the entrance of their room.
"Why thank you, but I kinda feel bad for taking our room from Kofi and Alicia. I'll just have to live with it." said Lita as she shrugged her shoulders.
"I live with these kind of decisions all the time," said Edge with a shake of his head. "Now stay here and guard the room just in case they try to reclaim it for themselves. I'll get our suitcases." said Edge as he walked toward the stairs.
"I might as well head back to the kitchen. I have groceries to unpack." said Monica as she threw her suitcases into her and Wade's room.
"Hold it for one second Monica. I have to get my suitcase first and I don't want anyone taking our room." said Wade as he ran toward the stairs.
"If you say so." muttered Monica as she walked into the room, shutting the door behind her just as Cody left Kaitlyn at their room to go grab their suitcases.
"Can I trust you to guard our room while I get my suitcase?" asked Randy as he moved out of Amanda's way so that she could walk into the room.
"Yes you can. I may be a snake, but I'm a trustworthy snake. Most of the time." said Amanda as she brought her suitcase over to the king sized bed and leaving it at its edge.
"Spoken like a true snake." muttered Randy with a smirk as he walked down the hallway, closing the door behind him as he did. Amanda let a smirk appear across her face as she threw her jeans jacket over onto a nearby chair. She walked over to the windows on the far side of the room and looked out at the night sky. She never turned around till she felt Randy's hands touch her shoulders, making her almost jump out of her sandals.
"You and that whole vampire thing on being silent." muttered Amanda as she let out a small yawn.
"That's just how we vampires roll." said Randy with a small chuckle as he led her over to the bed. "You're tired aren't you?"
"Well, it has been a long day." she tells him as they sit on the edge of the bed. "Can I ask you something?"
"Anything mate." answered Randy as he took off his coat and threw it over to the chair where Amanda threw her coat.
"How was your flight with Batista? He didn't get under your skin too much did he?" asked Amanda as she let her head rest on Randy's shoulder, him wrapping an arm around her as she did.
"You have no idea," said Randy as he rolled his head back. "It was hell riding with that demon!"
"You guys didn't sit close to each other did you?" asked Amanda as she looked up at the young vampire.
"You remember back at LAX when Adam threatened to claw Dave's face off if he sat in the same row as him right?" he asked her as he turned to the dark skinned psychic.
"Yeah, he almost revealed he was a werewolf to the whole dang terminal if it weren't for Lita." answered Amanda as she rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, well, lucky for Batista, he didn't end up in the same row as Adam." said Randy as he let go of his hold on Amanda to lie back onto the bed.
"Well, that's good to know." said Amanda as she unzipped her suitcase.
"He ended up sitting right behind Adam." said Randy as he let a small smirk appear across his face when he saw how surprised Amanda looked as she turned to him. "Don't worry. Nothing bad happened on the flight. Adam and Dave managed to remain civilized throughout the whole flight to Orlando."
"Well, that's good to know, but now a random thought has just popped into my brain." said Amanda as she picked out a nightgown and some underwear.
"And what may that random thought be?" asked Randy as he sat back up.
"Did you pack any blood bags for yourself because I never saw you pack any?" asked Amanda as she locked eyes with the Viper.
"Aw . . . . . AW SHIT!" exclaimed Randy as he jumped out of his seat. "That was the one thing I forgot to pack!"
"Don't worry Randy. The Jamaican countryside is practically one big jungle. I'm sure you'll find some animal or person to feed from." answered Amanda as she walked over to the bathroom.
"That statement tells me that you are not going to donate some of your blood." said Randy bluntly as he watched as his mate walked into the bathroom.
"Good perception; Not only is this a vacation from work, for me, this is a vacation from you feeding on my blood." said Amanda as she dropped her clothes onto the top of the laundry basket.
"But I've only done it three times since our relationship started!" countered Randy as he outstretched his arms.
"That's true," mumbled Amanda as she began to close the door. "Since I know the area so well, how about I show you some of the best hunting spots around here? I know a great spot with a whole bunch of wild boar." she suggested as she poked her head out of the bathroom. Randy raised an eyebrow at her before falling back onto the bed.
"I'll take you up on it." answered Randy as he turned his head to face hers. Amanda genuinely smiled at his answer before ducking her head back into the bathroom. Five minutes passed before Randy heard the shower running and he sat up just as someone began knocking on his door.
"Come in!" called Randy as he walked over to his backpack to retrieve his razor. Monica opened the door, her cell phone in hand as she looked around the dark blue room.
"Amanda's in the shower isn't she?" she asked as she took off her fedora.
"You got that right." answered Randy as he plugged his razor into a nearby socket.
"When she comes out, tell her to give our grandmother a call. Our grandma called me a few minutes ago, already wondering when we are going to visit her." mumbled Monica as she walked back into the hallway.
"Doesn't she own a car herself?" asked Randy as he poked his head into the hallway.
"Nope; her and grandpa like to live old school, although they recently bought themselves a TV. I should warn you about one thing." said Monica as she turned around to face the Viper.
"What?" asked Randy as he crossed his arms.
"My mom has already told my grandma about me and Amanda inviting you guys here to Jamaica. She also told our grandma that I am dating a werewolf and that Amanda is dating a vampire and she wants to meet you and Wade to see if it is true." answered Monica as she twiddled her fingers.
"You're grandmother expects me and Wade to come along with you and Amanda when you two visit her sometime in the next two weeks?" asked Randy as she scratched the back of his neck.
"Yeah, that's basically it." said Monica as she put her cell phone in her pocket.
"Does Wade know about this?" asked Randy as he raised an eyebrow.
"Now he does." mumbled Monica as she pointed toward me. I turn around to see Wade only five feet behind me, looking at Monica in mild surprise.
"I just came from the outdoor balcony to hear that your grandma wants to meet with me and Randal here. I haven't even met your mother yet!" cried Wade as he pointed back at Monica.
"I know you haven't Wolf Boy, but trust me when I say this. My grandma is a lot easier to impress than my mom." said Monica as she walked into the room she shared with the British Werewolf.
"Did she just call me Wolf Boy?" asked Wade as he looked at me with an astonished face.
"Don't worry. Amanda sometimes calls me Snake Boy. I consider it an affectionate nickname." said Randy.
"Good to know." said Wade with a shake of his head as he walked into his room. Randy walked back into the room to see Amanda emerge from the bathroom dressed in a black nightgown that went to the floor and her hair still slightly wet.
"Aw man! Couldn't you have dressed a little more sexily for bed?" asked Randy as he checked his razor, smirking when he saw that it was fully charged.
"Says the guy that only sleeps around once a week!" said Amanda as she grabbed a comb from her bag and began to comb out the wet knots in her hair.
"What's your point there?" asked Randy as he unplugged his razor and walked over to the bathroom.
"While I sleep, you usually spend the night watching TV, calling your family, or working out when you're bored. Don't ask me how I know cause you can get pretty loud when you do those things." answered Amanda as she looked away from the mirror to look at him.
"Sorry," muttered Randy. "I'll be quieter next time."
"Thank you, now if you excuse me. I'm going to go downstairs to make sure Adam and Sheamus don't find the cellar because I can hear their thoughts right now as I speak, wondering where we keep the liquor in this place." said Amanda as she walked over to the door.
"They wouldn't be that quick to find the liquor would they?" asked Randy as he raised an eyebrow. All of a sudden, Layla, dressed in a green shirt and black pajama pants, walked into the room.
"Um Amanda, I'm sorry to say that Adam and Sheamus have found your family's liquor room in the basement." said Layla as she looked at the two.
"See what I mean?" asked Amanda as she followed Layla out the door, still with her comb in hand.
"Those idiots are so in trouble." muttered Randy to himself as he walked into the bathroom with his razor in hand.
