Brock pulled into the hotel parking lot a few minutes later and smiles when he looked over and seen Jaden asleep peacefully. He carefully got out of the driver's side and opened the passenger side door, picking her up in his strong arms and freezes when she moves a little, but sighs with relief when she doesn't wake up as he continues his way up to his room. Brock unlocked the door and opened it with her still in his arms and carried her to the bedroom, placing her on the bed and covered her up, waiting for Mark to arrive.
John and Oracle pulled into the hotel parking lot right after Brock did and seen Mark get on the elevator, but it was too late so they took the stairs, seeing Mark walk into a room and John stuck his foot out to stop the door from closing all the way, but enough to where they didn't suspect anything.
"Bout time you got here Deadman. She's in there." Brock stated, pointing to the bedroom door and that's when Oracle couldn't take it anymore.
She busted through the door and jumped on Mark's back and screamed, "WHAT THE FUCK YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING???"
I jolted awake and shouted, "WHAT THE FUCK??!!!"
Mark threw Oracle off of his back, making her hit the wall back first, which made my eyes widen in shock as I stared at Mark before me and then turned to Brock.
"What the fuck is going on here?!"
Oracle was rolling on the floor, holding her back with her hand as John went over and asked if she was okay.
"Hello darlin'." Mark stated, his green eyes softening as he sat on the bed.
"What the fuck?" Oracle said, still rubbing her back from the blow Mark had gave her and looked at me and then back at John.
“What are you doing here?” I asked Mark and shrugged my shoulders at Oracle’s questioning stare.
Oracle looked over at Mark and asked, “Yeah what are you doing here?”
“Lexi told me you’d be here, but I didn’t get the message till she called me on my cell and I went down to John’s room, where your friend was. I just wanted to see ya and meet ya for the first time.” Mark explained, feeling bad about this whole situation.
Oracle looked at me again and shrugged as she stood up and then glared at John and said, “Something’s gonna happen alright.”
“Riiiiiiiiiight so is that why you jolted me out of a peaceful sleep DEADMAN?” I asked, crossing my arms in front of my chest and then busted up laughing when I seen the look on John’s face. “Johnny don’t worry I got Brock here to save me from the big bad teddy bear Mark.”
I started laughing harder as Oracle looked at John with a sarcastic glare and stated, “You better be able to make it up to me for actually giving me something to worry about with that thought of him.”
She pointed at Mark, making John look down in shame, which made me laugh harder as he said, “I’m sorry babe…”
“Uh huh.” Oracle said and pointed to the door as John walked out with his head still lowered as he walked down the hallway and toward the car.
“Okay yeah boy what a day THIS has been!” I stated sarcastically and laid back down, pulling the covers over my eyes.
“Everything is okay right?” Oracle asked, looking over at me.
A muffled yeah came from under the covers because I refused to pull them over my mouth and actually tell her.
“I have to go talk to someone so excuse me. I wish ya’ll the best of luck.” Oracle stated and walked out of the room and after John.
I started laughing again and shook my head, not believing what a day and now night this was turning out to be.
“So yeah, what you doin’ tonight?” Brock asked, looking in Mark’s direction.
“Nothin’ man, thanks for letting me come here to see her.” Mark replied, shaking hands with Brock as they both looked at me.
“We ought to make it a movie night.” Brock suggested, making me groan under the covers.
I sat up with the covers down and asked, “Don’t I get a say in this?”
Both men looked at me, smiled and said, “No.”
I laid back down with the covers over me again and Brock said, “You get to pick the movies.”
A muffled no you can pick them yourselves came from under the blanket once again as I tried to fall asleep, but Brock stopped that from happening when he asked, “No really. What do you want to do J?”
A muffled I don’t know this day has been crazy came from under the blankets again as I sat up as an idea suddenly popped in my head.
“Your choice.” Brock stated.
“How about we go get a drink? I don’t drink, but after the day I’ve had, I NEED one desperately.” I stated, making Mark smile at me.
“Whadda ya want darlin’?”
“Naw forget it. Lexi would kill me and you two.” I stated, making them smirk at me.
“She doesn’t have to know. Now what do you want?” Brock asked, making me smile.
“Strawberry Daiquiri?” I asked hopefully, making Mark wink at me.
“You want it you got it.” He stated and started making the drink as I laid back down and closed my eyes, not seeing Brock coming toward me.
“You okay?” He asked, laying down right beside me.
“Yup peachy. You?” I asked, sitting up a little.
“Fine…”
“Yeah RIGHT.” I stated, making him smile at me.
“Need a drink myself.”
“I don’t blame you Brock.” I replied as I laid back down and rested my head against him, which I didn’t even realize it.
Chapter 11
Oracle found John sitting on his car with his head down and walked over, feeling bad for snapping on him as she called his name quietly, not wanting to startle him, “John, what’s the matter?”
“I just feel bad. I really thought they were gonna try something.”
“It’s okay. Nothing happened. Now do I get to hear that Massachusetts laugh or what?” Oracle asked as she lifted his chin with her soft hand, staring in his beautiful blue eyes.
John just laughed and smiled at her.
“Mmmmm there’s that b-e-a-utiful Massachusetts accent I love so much.” She stated and kissed his lips as an old couple frowned at them for showing public affection for one another.
“Piss off cold farts.” John shouted as he kissed her back.
“What do you say we go up to the room?” Oracle asked, giving him the eye. “We can talk about finishing what I tried to start.”
“I say what are we waiting for!?” John exclaimed as he picked her up and carried her up to the room with her squealing in delight.
“Hi.” Brock said gently, looking down at me.
“Oh shit sorry!” I exclaimed as I sat back up immediately
“No its okay go ahead. You’ve had a long day.”
“No its okay I’ll sit up.” I replied.
Brock wouldn’t take no for an answer as he pulled me down and smiled at me and said, “Chill.”
I just snuggled deeper into his warm chest and closed my eyes, waiting for my drink that I desperately needed at that moment.
Mark walked over a couple minutes later with the drinks and said, “Okay here ya go.”
I took the drink and start to sip it and see the look on Brock’s face and ask, “What’s wrong?”
“I need a drink.” He replied, looking in Mark’s direction.
“Alright don’t rush me.” Mark stated as he went to make Brock’s drink.
I just laughed and continued to drink while Brock ran his fingers through my hair, making my eyes close a little more each time from each stroke.
“I hope you don’t mind. I just like the feeling of your hair. It’s so soft ya know?” Brock asked softly, making me smile.
“No I don’t, but don’t blame me for falling asleep.” I said gently, taking another sip of my drink.
“I can’t blame ya myself.” Brock stated and yawned. “I’m tired.”
I just closed my eyes as I felt his fingers run through my hair and didn’t see Mark leave until I heard the door shut.
“Where’s he…” I trailed off, completely caught offguard when I seen Brock staring down at me.
“He had to get some more stuff for my drink because he wasn’t prepared for the ingredients.”
“Oh okay.” I said, settling back down and closed my eyes again.
“Is she asleep?” Mark asked after he walked back in.
“Yeah why?” Brock asked.
Mark shrugged and said, “I’m gonna get going. Here’s your drink man. Night.”
“Thanks later.” Brock replied, shaking his hand.
“Later.” Mark stated, walking out of the hotel room.
Brock sighed as he looked down at her and whispered to himself, “So peaceful.”
I sighed but didn’t wake up and then stirred a bit as I move around and turn over on my side, my back against Brock.
Brock sighed and chuckled to himself as he said, “Resented even in sleep.”
