"Let's go Rain"! Jax yelled.
"Ok, hold on"! I yelled slipping my converses on and looking the mirror quickly.
I was in a black crop-top, a galaxy blue printed skater skirt with matching suspender things and my black Converses; while my hair was curled.
I grabbed a leather jacket and ran down the steps and outside.
I got in the middle row of the my dad's escalade.
My dad was in drivers seat, Jax was in passenger, and Ryan sat in the very back row while Joel and I were in the middle row.
"You look nice, Rain" My dad complimented.
I smiled slightly.
"A way a lady should dress" He said narrowing his eyes at me in the review mirror.
I rolled my eyes and decided to burp just to piss him off.
My brothers laughed and I said "Sorry Dad, but if you haven't noticed I'm not a lady".
He sighed "Neither was your mother".
I smiled proudly to myself.
Joel said "Where is this dinner anyways"?
"Hampton's building" My dad said "I'm sorry to keep you guys in on a Friday, and I will let you leave right after the dinner; I promise".
We all nodded.
"I love you when you're singing that song yeah, I got a lump in my throat because you're gonna sing the words wrong" I sang obnoxiously with Joel as Ryan, Jax and my dad looked like they're going to jump out of the car.
"She's been living on the high shelf.....OOOOOoooooooo, and they come unstuck. Lady running down to the riptide" Joel and I continued to singing jokingly.
I laughed as Riptide by Vance Joy played.
We pulled up to the glass 40 feet tall building.
We all got out and walked up and a man took my dad's car keys to go park.
"Alright on your best behavior" My dad said "That means you Rain".
I gasped "Why would I ever do such a thing, father"?
He narrowed his eyes at me and walked ahead.
I rolled my eyes behind his back and we walked up to the elevator.
We came to the top floor and walked into a room.
I sat there bored out of mind with my elbow on the table and chin rested on my palm as I stared at the wall and people around me talked.
"So Rain, I here you're a model"? A lady said that I guess my dad works with.
I snapped out of my thoughts, sitting up straight and said "Uh....Yeah".
"Do you like it"? She asked.
My dad sent me warning looks.
I forced a smile "Ya it's a blast" then she turned to talk to someone else and I rolled my eyes.
Ryan chuckled and whispered in my ear "1 hour left".
I face palmed at how much longer I had to sit here.
I took my fork and a olive and placed it on the end of my fork and accidentally flung it across the room.
My eyes widened as it hit a man in the head.
Everyone looked at me.
I bit my lip "Sorry........"
My dad sent me warning looks.
"Uh, may I please be excused"? I asked.
The adults nodded and I pushed my chair out and stood up and Joel grabbed my hand and pulled me down to him and whispered "Grab me a bag of chips in the lobby" then placing 5 dollars in my hand.
I smiled and nodded and he winked at me and I winked back then walking out.
I walked down to the lobby and grabbed two bags of potato chips.
I walked up to the cashier and paid for them then, walking away.
I was walking back upstairs when my phone started to vibrate.
I answered "Hello"?
"When are you coming"? Peter asked.
"An hour. I'm stuck at this dinner" I said.
"Ok, but get here as fast as possible" He said and hung up.
I ran up the stairs and walked in and handed Joel the bag of chips under the table.
He smirked and mouthed 'Thank you'.
I nodded and smirked back, mouthing 'You're welcome'.
"Alright, thank you kids, or the good behavior. Except for when you flicked an olive at a buyers head, knocked over a glass that shattered, and broke the chandelier; Rain" He narrowed his eyes at me.
I bit my lip "Sorry, things....just happen".
* * * * * * * *
I ran into the bar.
I ran threw a bunch of people and saw everyone up by the bar.
I ran up "I'm sorry! I'm here"!
Their heads all snapped towards me with their eyes widening and jaws dropping.
"Rain Thompson in a skirt"!? Will exclaimed.
"O shut up, I was at some fancy dinner" I said rolling my eyes "Plus I was to busy breaking chandeliers and flicking olives at peoples heads".
They all raised an eyebrow.
I threw on a leather jacket I had.
"So, first order of mission" Vince smirked.
"Have you ever had a drink Thompson"? Ryker asked a smirk appearing on his face.
I bit my lip and shook my head "No".
I mean I've had wine from church when I was like 8.........
The guys all had smirks grow on their faces.
"Well let's go" Ryker said the smirk not leaving his face.
"Guys, let's not get her wasted right now" Liz and Leah said.
They all frowned.
