Jemmy frowned. “Christmas break starts next week!”
“You still have a week’s worth of classes to do,” Drake said in exasperation. “You have six more months of school, then you can fulfill your life long dream of no more schooling.”
Jemmy groaned. “I wanted to hit the slopes again tomorrow morning.”
“We’re here to work first,” Jace said firmly. “You made a deal with Dad that you will still stay on top of your classes while we worked this mission.”
“Fine,” Jemmy muttered as she picked at the cheese on her pizza. She mock glared at Rachel.
Rachel smiled smugly.
“I’ll go do laundry tomorrow,” Dawn stated. When the guys cheered. She smiled. “For a price. Ten dollars per load, plus the cost of the laundry soap, dryer sheets, and the machines. And my laundry services are only every other day.”
“I’ll go with you if you give me half,” Ford said with a grin.
“Deal,” Dawn stated.
“I’ll let the others know, but I’m sure we can find someone willing to go down and do it for free for the mission, and we’ll swap you guys out after four hours. I don’t think anyone spends all day at any of those places,” Jace stated.
Dawn gave him a shrug and a smile. “It doesn’t hurt to try. There are plenty of guys in this group that hate doing laundry. I’ll even fold it for them.”
“I’ll do it, too,” Sierra piped up. “For the same fee,” when Gavin gave her a look of surprise she smiled and shrugged. “What? Christmas is in two weeks, and I need to get more gifts.” She stated.
Troy groaned. “Leave it up to the girls to find another way to take a man’s money.” He winked at me, and I knew the comment wasn’t directed towards me, so took no offense.
“Do I get paid to do my school work?” Jemmy asked hopefully.
“Um no,” Remy stated with an eye roll. “That’s your normal responsibility. You’re already getting paid for the mission.”
“I’ll email Paul right now,” Darren finally spoke up. “We should be able to obtain access by tomorrow. Although I can’t promise you how long it’ll take to comb through it all.”
“I’ll help you,” Gavin stated as he took a drink of pop.
“Me too,” Drake said wiping his mouth with a napkin.
“I can help too,” Troy commented.
“Count me in,” Remy volunteered.
“I haven’t found a good book to read lately,” shy Sam spoke up. “I can always grab a cup of joe, purchase a book, and read for a while.”
“I can go with him,” Marcel said.
Dawn gave him an incredulous look.
Marcel huffed. “I like to read. Just because I’m a stud doesn’t mean I don’t like some Tom Clancy or JK Rowling.”
Everyone at the table started to laugh.
“What?” Marcel asked mystified.
“You just pointed out an author of suspense and action and books written for older children,” Gavin snorted as he grabbed another slice of pizza.
“I also like some Nicholas Sparks,” Marcel said haughtily.
“Bull sh-” Jaxson began but hastily looked over at Kade. “Crap,” he added quickly. “First off I don’t think you can read any book without pictures in it and secondly there’s no way you read any of that lovey dovey stuff.”
Marcel took a long drag from his bottle of beer. “Watch me. Sam will be your witness tomorrow. He can watch me read the whole time.”
