Chapter 8
Escape Main
Chapter 10
Jessie had been on cloud one hundred ninety nine million and nine all weekend. She didn't bother coming down and her parents thought it was hilarious.
"Jessica, honey, would you do the dishes after breakfast this morning? I know it's you're dad's turn, but you know how he does
them sweetie? Could you help me out this morning?" Cathy asked?
"Sure Mom, whatever you need. Can you give me a ride to school this morning. I really want to get there early."
"I can't imagine why." Tony, Jessie's father, said.
"Daddy, don't worry. You will always be my number one guy...then comes AJ."
"Ah every father's dream son-in-law...someone with a million tattoos who's nickname is 'Bone'!"
"Tony relax. She's still on her concert high and I'm not going to let you ruin it for her. Jessie, do the dishes and then lets go. I don't want you late for class either ok?"
The phone rang and Tony checked the caller id before answering it.
"Good Morning Irene, how are you? Call to invite my daughter to another show of gyrating pretty boys?"
"Yea, Tony, actually, I'm calling to invite her to the Le'Bare's...you know, the male strip club...I'm sure she's ready for that. You provide the singles and I'll get her drinks, deal?"
He growled and handed the phone to Cathy.
"Rene, what did you do?"
"Me? Why is it always my fault when Neanderthal Boy gets upset?! He started it!"
"Yes, but you are more mature, and you know better. Now what's up this fine morning?"
"Huh? Oh yea, tell your kid I'm picking her up early. The guys will be here about one pm so I want her here around noon."
"The guys? Rene what the hell are you talking about?" Cathy felt nervous all of a sudden.
"What do you mean? Jessie didn't tell you?! Backstreet's coming to my place today. All of them."
"N...N...Nick too?" Cathy stuttered
"Uh if he's still in that group, yepper that's a roger. Wait a sec. You're a closet fan, aren't you? How come you didn't take Jess to the show yourself, Cath?"
"Are you kidding? That close to N...Ni...ulp Nick and I'd lose the few cool points I have with Jessica! Oh Dear God! Please, Rene, can I come too?"
Irene could not believe that her friend, her best friend since kindergarten, was whimpering on the other end of the line. It was all she could do not to fall over laughing.
"Sure honey, I have to call Lise and tell her to change the menu, but I don't think it would be a problem."
"I love you. You don't even know what this means to me."
"Yea well, what are you going to do about Neanderthal Boy?"
"Fuck him!! I'm gonna see Nick today!!"
"Ah thanks for the offer, but I'm not THAT horny. Bring your kid here by eleven-thirty or twelve at the latest ok?"
"'K!"
Cathy hung up and this time Irene knew her friend was singing something about another boyfriend.
This was getting out of hand.
