Brothers Best Friend (Vinnie Hacker)

Chapter 12

"I'm going to Mac's house to talk with her. I'll be back to cuddle with you later," I say, planting a kiss on Vinnie's cheek.

I hop into Ryland's car and drive to Mac's house as quickly and legally as possible.

Entering Mac's room, I find her sitting on the bed with her head in her hands. "Hey, sweetie," I greet, wrapping her in a hug. "I already miss him," she says, her voice muffled against my chest. "I understand, but I think it's best for both of you to ensure you remain friends," I reply. "I know, but I really love him," she admits. "I know, and I know he loves you too," I assure her. "Thank you so much, Riley," she says, gratitude evident in her voice. We stay like that, in each other's arms, for about 20 minutes. "Now go back to Vinnie before he goes crazy," Mac says, breaking the silence. I chuckle, leave her room, and head back to the car, making my way home.

"Hey, baby," I greet, jumping into bed.

Skipping ahead to Saturday because school is boring :)

Today is the day I'm going to help Jaden take care of his sister's three children. I wake up cuddled up to Vinnie. "Baby, I need to get up," I say, and Vinnie finally lets me go. After taking a shower and changing into my outfit, I rush downstairs to find no one awake, as usual. I grab an apple from the kitchen and head to Ryland's car; Vinnie has an important meeting later, so he needs his car.

I listen to One Direction as I drive; there's just something about their music that I love. I sing along with every song, enjoying the feeling of being alone and vibing in the car.

When I arrive at Sway House, I see no cars except for Jaden's. I hurry inside to find Jaden shirtless on the couch. "Hey, Jaden," I greet, giving him a hug. "Thank you so much for helping me," he says gratefully. "Of course, anything for you," I reply with a giggle. "They're really sweet, but Louis is a little wild sometimes," Jaden comments. "Back in Canada, I was a nanny for some crazy kids. Now, go get changed before they arrive," I say, prompting Jaden to dash to his room. He returns looking fresh, and I tease him about it as he comes down the stairs.

"We could invite Chase?" Jaden suggests. "Yeah, that's a great idea. I'll call him," I say with a smile.

"He's on his way," I inform Jaden. Just five minutes later, there's a knock on the door. "I'll get it," I say, rushing to answer. It's Chase. "Wow, you're fast," I tease, giving him a hug. "Where are the kids?" he asks. "They'll be here with their mom in about ten minutes," Jaden answers.

We spend the time chilling and laughing until there's another knock at the door. "I'll get it," I say excitedly, rushing to answer. Outside, I find two small kids and a slightly older boy. "Hi, I'm Riley," I introduce myself. The older boy asks for Jaden, and I lead them inside, where he greets Jaden with a hug. "Please take good care of them," the mom says. "We will, I promise," I assure her, taking the two little kids as she leaves. Chase takes Liam, and we settle in.

While Jaden and Louis are out somewhere, getting lunch, Chase and I lie on the floor and chat while the kids run around. "I can still remember when I had an unusually huge crush on you before we met," I confess, and we both laugh. "I remember meeting you. I was so tired, and then this random girl just jumped on me like she wanted to kill me," he recalls, and we laugh again.

"It's crazy how fast things can change. My biggest idols for almost two years are now my best friends, and my crush for three years is now my boyfriend," I reflect. "Yeah, how's it going with Vinnie?" Chase asks. "Pretty good. We actually had our first big argument last Saturday, and then they tried to get us back together by going to Target, but we had already made up and pulled a prank on them," I share. "Damn, that sounds fun," Chase remarks.

"Hey, guys, we're home," Jaden announces, and Chase runs down to grab his ice cream like a little toddler. I laugh as Chase and Jaden always manage to make me happy.

"What happened to your legs?" I ask Chase. "I was happy," he replies, and we all laugh.

As Chase eats his ice cream with Liam on his lap, Liam takes some ice cream and smears it on Chase's nose. "What are you doing, buddy?" Chase asks, and we laugh again. Later, we all eat dinner, with Jaden having made pizza and fries. Liam and Lilli eat so many fries; I'm kind of worried their stomachs will hurt tomorrow.

After dinner, we get Liam and Lilli ready for bed and brush their teeth. Louis is allowed to stay up an hour later than the twins because he's six years older.

"So," Jaden begins, "where do the kids sleep?" I ask. "My sister brought a travel bed for the twins, and I think Louis can sleep in Josh's room next to mine," Jaden answers. "Okay," I say, picking up Lilli and carrying her to bed. I tuck her in and give her a kiss on the cheek. Jaden comes in with Liam and lays him down beside Lilli. Louis sits on the couch cuddled up to Chase; it's so cute. "He likes you," Jaden comments as we sit down beside them. After Louis falls asleep, we watch a movie and then head to bed.
