Chapter 14

Jake and Daniel guided the wavering Jacob back to the quarter’s level of the London facility. Although Jake had been to London before, he was grateful for Daniel’s directions as they wandered the maze of halls.

“You’re late,” Gemma greeted the three after Daniel had knocked.

“Allow Luv,” Jacob blurted, a mimic he had picked up earlier, still being held upright between Jake and Daniel.

“Don’t allow luv, me! We are supposed to meet my parents for dinner tonight and you can’t show up pissed!” Gemma snapped.

Sitting on the overstuffed chairs behind the enraged redhead, Jake could see Sara, Becky, and Patti, doing their best to suppress their laughter.

“It’s my fault, Gemma. My mates took it upon themselves to help celebrate you’re up the, ah, pea in the pod,” Daniel explained, catching himself before repeating the less polite term used earlier in the pub.

“She’s really cheesed off,” Jacob whispered to Jake.

“Just go drop him on the bed please,” Gemma said as she waved them into a side room.

Following instructions, Jake and Daniel ushered the unsteady Jacob into the side room and dropped him unceremoniously face down on the bed. They then turned and exited the room, leaving Jacob and Gemma alone.

“You should have watched him better,” Patti admonished Daniel as he went to sit next to her.

“He was already three sheets to the wind when we arrived,” Jake offered as he sat on the arm of the chair Sara occupied.

“Well, he is right wankered,” Gemma announced to the room as she closed the door behind her.

“Let him sleep it off, he should be ok by dinner,” Patti offered as Gemma sat opposite her in another of the overstuffed chairs.

“All my mum needs is a notion Jacob is a tosspot,” she said sadly.

“You know better, besides, your mother has a wedding to plan. She will be more than preoccupied with that,” Sara offered.

“I hope so,” Gemma replied with a weak smile.
