Nicks P.O.V
Of course I left out the part where I had drooled over Roxanne at her gig. Just mentioned the bar as a detail.. and focused more on my meeting Mr. Portman. But my brothers werent that happy about me going out like that. In fact, they even gave me the speech.
- You could have been recognized! Said Kev. What would we have done?
- We just saw a news report, added Joe, - theyre looking for us! Its official.
- Have Mom and Dad made any statements? I asked.
- Not yet, but theyll have to say something. They left it up to us to decide what exactly to admit.
- This is just dandy timing as well! chuckled Joe. As if Del doesnt have enough to worry about! Now that the whole country is looking for us, its only a matter of time... before..., he closed his eyes and turned away.
- Joes right, said Kevin. We have to think of some excuse so as not to reveal our reasons for leaving... and we have to have some backup plans in case they find us here...
As we were discussing our options, Mr Portman appeared in a bathrobe. Joe pointed quickly to his room: - Oh, you can dress in there, Sir, he said.
When Mr. Portman had closed the door behind him, I let out a small laugh.
- What? asked Joe.
- Nothing, I said, -its just... youre so polite...with him.
- Im always polite..with everyone! defended Joe.
- Sure sure, I smiled.
Kevin laughed under his breath, -Its ok, Joe, he said. Its only natural for you to treat your girlfriends dad that way.
Even though hes a jerk, I thought.
Joe didnt answer anything back to Kevin, cause we heard the door open from Joes room. Mr. Portman looked more like his usual self, except for the tint of shame in his expression. He walked straight to Joe, and handed him his phone.
- Sorry, it buzzed when I was changing, I thought it was mine so I looked at the screen.
Joe looked at his phone and half smiled. Its ok, he said, and then after a short pause, - How about breakfast? Im really hungry!
- Oh no! Breakfast! I let out.
-Nick? Did you forget something? asked Kev.
- I promised those guys that helped me last night that Id see them in the morning at breakfast.
- Well, I still think theres time, said Joe.
I hurried and got dressed, my brothers didnt understand my fuss, but I wasnt gonna go downstairs to the restaurant and meet Roxanne in yesterdays clothes.
Joes P.O.V
- Nick, well go without you! I shouted in the doorway.
- Fine! he yelled back from his room.
- Fine! Well take the stairs so you can catch up!
I turned around and Kevin and Mr Portman followed me out.
- I think Ill leave the stairs to you boys, said Mr. Portman, realizing we were on the 20th floor.
-OK, well see you downstairs, I said.
While me and Kevin were racing down the stairs, he slowed his pace to talk to me.
- Joe, just curious, what did Mr. Portman see on your phone?
I laughed. He saw a message from Del that opened up on the screen, automatically.
- Oh, what did it say?
- I love you too.
Kevin smiled. Nice.. poor guy...
- Im still wondering if I should tell her about his sleepover.
- I think you should.
Of course I knew I should, though I also knew it would upset her. Oh well, I called her.
- Mornin, she answered.
- Hey, what you up to?
- Nothing. Just finished breakfast.
- Yeah? Well were just going now to eat.
- Sleepyheads! she teased.
- Yeah, anyway, theres something I have to tell you.
- Paul already told me about the news this morning. I guess this means youre leaving soon...
- No, I mean yeah, that might be a problem, but dont worry about it ok?
- Ok, she sighed. So is that what you wanted to tell me?
- No, I mean, I was gonna tell you that anyway, but I called you for something else now.
- Oh, she said, disappointed.
- What??
- Must you have a reason for calling me in the morning?
- Cut it out, Del, I laughed.
- OK, just tell me then.
- Its about your dad.
- What about him?
- Nick ran into him last night, he was drunk.
- Who was drunk?? she gasped.
- Your dad, who!
- Dad barely drinks, he gets dizzy just from a glass of wine.
- Well Im guessing he had two. Cause from what Nicks told us, he wasnt even able to recognize him last night. So Nick brought him back to our hotel room, and hes gonna stay for breakfast.
I heard her sigh.
