After Bobby and Jack came to my place of work, Jack begged me to stay at their house for at least thanksgiving. I was staying in Jack's room since it was too damn awkward to stay in Evelyn's.
I woke up to someone sitting on me. I turn to see who it was, and it's Jack.
"Jack if you don't get off my back." I threatened.
"Come on, we have to start cooking." He said.
"What time is it?" I asked.
" 8:30 in the morning." I groaned.
"Fuck that!" I placed my head into the pillow. He started jumping.
"Please?"
"Give me another 3 hours." I begged. Next thing Jack got off of me, and walked out of the room. I turn onto my side, and instantly went back to sleep.
Splash!
I woke up to cold water poured onto me. I wipe the water from my eyes, and there was Jack.
"Told you to get up." He said.
"Jack, Your ass better run!" I threatened. He smiled, and ran out the room. I jumped out of my bed and followed him. "Jack, I'm going to fucking kick your ass!" I ran down the stairs, and chased him into the dining room.
"Someone's pissed," I heard Angel comment from the living room.
"Told you Jack it'll wake her up." Bobby said. I stopped, and looked at Bobby.
"You're the one who told him to dump water onto my bed?" I started walking closer to him.
"Yes, and since you're up you can start cooking now." He said. I rang my out on his lap, and smiled.
"Now I can start cooking," I said. Angel started burst into laughter as I walked upstairs.
After taking a quick shower, and putting on a fresh set of clothes. I walked downstairs, and 2 of the Mercer brothers were watching the hockey game. The infamous sport of this household.
"Look who's all dry now." Angel said. I raised my middle finger as I walked into the kitchen. Jack was mashing potatos at the small kitchen table.
"Morning, Sunshine." He said. I shook my head, and sat across from him.
"Do we have any coffee?" I asked. He shook his head.
"Nope, but we do have beer in the fridge." He said.
"What do you need me to do?" I asked.
"Well, I just need you to work on the turkey and stuffing since mom always loved your stuffing." He said. I shrugged, and walked towards the sink. It had a defrosted turkey in it. I let out a small sigh. Guess it's time to get to work.
I let out a sigh of relief when I pulled out the turkey. I'm finally done after spending two and a half hours doing this. I reached into my jacket, grabbed my pack of cigarettes, and pulled one out. I walked outside, and lit the cigarette. I inhaled the smoke and let it blow out through my mouth. I seriously need to quit smoking, shit's not good for me.
I take few more puffs, then put it out. I walked back into the home, and I could hear yelling from the living room. I quickly ran into the living room, it's Jerry and Angel wrestling on the ground. I lean against the doorway and roll my eyes.
"Angel, for someone who's gone through bootcamp and shit, you fight like a bitch." I called out; making Jack and Bobby laugh.
"Shut up, Jen! I don't fight like a bitch." I laugh, and walk into the kitchen.
I placed the salad onto the table. I stood across from Jack, who was sitting next to Angel. We each held each others hand as we bowed our head.
"Heavenly Father, our Lord and Savior. Thank you for this day. Thank you for bringing us together. Amen." We all sat down, and began filling our plates with food. I looked up at Jack; his gaze meets with mine. I look at the empty chair and so did the rest of the Mercer brothers. I let out a sigh, and start to eat my food.
"Jennifer," I looked up and there's Evelyn. "You're like the daughter I've always wanted. You need to stop working yourself to death to forget the past before you end up with me upstairs. Why don't you talk to that handsome doctor you kept talk about." I blushed at the statement. She smiles, making me smirk a little. I could feel the tears coming. What happened years ago is a sensitive subject and it's hard to talk about.
"Fuck this, Lets go play some hockey." Bobby said, slamming his fork down onto his plate. I didn't bother to look up from my plate, I really wasn't in the mood to be questioned about my feelings. "I want to see some quick sticks and some tight passing."
"It's cold out, man!" Angel protested. "I didn't come all this fucking way to play some damn hockey!" I heard the chairs push away from the table, and footsteps leaving the room.
"Jen, You comin'?" He asked. I shook my head.
"Nah, I think I'm just gonna put this food away and then call my job back. Besides I don't want to take away from your guy time with your brothers." I said.
"You know you're like a sister to me, right?" I nodded.
"Yeah, but I think I should sit this one out."
"Alright," He said. I hear the door open, and finally raised my head from my plate. I wiped the tears away, and grabbed the plates from the table. I placed the plates onto the counter, and when I turned around, there was Bobby. I jumped back a little bit.
"Bobby, Can you not give me heart attack?" I asked. I try to walk by him, but he grabs me. "What the-"
"You weren't excluded from this family outing." He placed me over his shoulder. Since when did he consider me family?
"Bobby put me down!" I said, trying to wiggle out of his grasp.
"Nope, Jackie wants you to come." He said. He opened the door, and I grab onto the frame.
"I have stuff to do, and he knows that." I said. He yanked my body, causing me to release the door frame. "I need my coat."
"No you dont," he said.
"Bobby it's like cold as fuck out here." I whined.
"Suck it up." He placed my body onto the ground, and put me into the backseat. I look at Jackie.
"It was the only I could get you to come with us." He said.
"I don't know how to play fucking hockey." I said, hugging my body. Wearing a sweater, and jeans didn't really help. Bobby tossed me a sweatshirt, and a hat. I quickly put on the sweatshirt, and hat. I could get sick from not wearing the proper clothing for the cold weather.
I stood on the side of the ice while the boys played Hockey. My body was shivering from the cold. I asked to be left in the car but they basically carried me out. I held my body, trying to keep myself warm. One of the player skated my way.
"What's up, mami?" He asked. "What's a pretty woman like you standing here alone?"
"Minding my damn business," I hissed. "Why don't you get back to your game, papi chulo?"
"Are you gonna flirt with the girl or get back to the game?" Bobby questioned.
"Yo, Can I get your number?"
"No," I said.
"Why are you playing hard to get?" He asked. Before I could answer, Bobby and Angel skated in front of me.
"Leave the girl alone." Angel ordered.
"And if I don't?" They moved closer to him.
"Yo, She's not even work it." His friend said from behind him.
"Whatever, let's get back to the game."
