chapter 6
(1 hour later)We came back to the lakehouse and we were listening to Pina Colatas.Eric was dancing with the KFC bucket on his head, holes cut in it for the eyes.The guys started to dance goofily.I laughed at them and leaned into Marcus kissing him.
Then a shitty looking car came into the parking lot"Jasmine!"
I said excitedly and ran over"Jess!Hi!"She said hugging me.She looked past me and smiled"Hey Dad"Jasmine said as we broke apart"Me?"all the guys, but Robby asked.I giggled at their expressions as Robby walked up to us"Is this your car?"Robby asked"My old man let me borrow this turd..because he doesnt care if it breaks down and I get eaten by a bear or something"
Jasmine said annoyed"Your old man?"Robby asked"My boyfriend.
He's 47.You know I wish I could date guys my own age,but Im just chasin the Dad that ran out on me"Jasmine said pulling up the hood of the car.It steamed and her shirt blew up.I looked back at the guys and their jaws were on the floor"Well Jasmine,
now I have to go keep Marcus from hittin on you""I said smiling
"You're back together?"She asked"Yeah he's doing great so far"I said smiling happily"Awesome!Im happy for you"She said smiling
"Thanks...gotta go"I said and walked over to the guys sitting on Marcus' lap"Not gonna continue Higgins"I said"Ohh Jess that's not fair I-"I began to kiss his neck"That's so evil"Marcus said hugging me.I only smiled hugging back"Atleast let me do the shfter"Marcus said.I groaned"Fine!You guys get 15 minutes!"I said as I layed my head on Marcus' shoulder and rolled my eyes
"Lamonsoff, you and me look at the tree"Lenny said"Right and McKenzie and I will do alittle butt vision"Marcus said.I pinched him"Ow!What you said-""I said you can shift,not pretend like Im not here!"I said annoyed"So go in with the ladies"Marcus said
"Really?You wanna play that way?Fine Marcus"I said getting up"Jess wait-""Byee"I said going inside.i slammed the door
"Marcus, strike one?"Sally asked"Strike one"I said as I began to help with dinner.15 minutes later I saw Gloria at the car and all the guys turned their chairs to the lake...then afew minutes later,they went off somewheres"They left"I said surprised"Thats fine.Turn up the music"Deanna said.I smiled and blasted some oldies from our time"No no no I wanna hear you sing!Come on I got your newest album"Deanna said laughing.I laughed"So sneaky!"I said"Play Aint it fun!I love that!"Sally said.Deanna played it and I was encouraged to sing"Guys come on I-""Sing!" they all said.I laughed and sang
"I don't mind
letting you down easy
But just give it time
If it don't hurt now then just wait,
just wait a while
You're not the big fish in the pond no more
You are what they're feeding on
So what are you gonna do
when the world don't orbit around you?
So what are you gonna do
when the world don't orbit around you?
Ain't it fun
living in the real world
Ain't it good
being all alone
Where you're from
You might be the one
who's running things
Well you can ring anybody's bell
to get what you want
See it's easy to ignore
trouble
When you're living in a bubble
So what are you gonna do
when the world don't orbit around you?
So what are you gonna do
when nobody wants to fool with you?
Ain't it fun
living in the real world
Ain't it good
being all alone
Ain't it good
to be on your own
Ain't it fun
you can't count on no one
Ain't it good
to be on your own
Ain't it fun
you can't count on no one
Ain't it fun
living in the real world
Don't go crying

"Yea Im just waiting it out to see if Marcus gets drunk..the second he does and does some thing completely stupid...Im moving on but so far he's been amazing.I wanna keep it that-"I heard screaming from outside"What the hell?"Sally said.I gasped seeing them carrying Robby "Oh my god...no"I said with wide eyes"What..what is that?"Gloria asked"Come on!"I said and ran out"Really guys?!Arrow Roulette?!"I said angrily"Daddy what happened?!"I looked back and saw Amber"Oh hey Amber!"I said waving"Ooo another one high five"Marcus whispered"Marcus!"I said warningly"Im sorry I love you I love you!"Marcus said smiling.I nodded with my lips thinned and narrowed eyes
"Right..arrow guys arrow"I said snapping as Amber ran over and hugged me.I hugged back and all the guys jaws dropped"Stop starring you pervs!We gotta get the arrow out"I said biting my lip in thought"Bridget come down here!Daddie's hurt!"Amber yelled.Then the last came down and lets say she was the spitting image of Robby... literally..."You got another one?"Kurt asked

Then a shitty looking car came into the parking lot"Jasmine!"
