Little Rose

Chapter 32

Aiden's POV:

Todays the day. The day I enjoy the most every month. Don't tell Ben, I'll never hear the end of it. Every month Ben and I go to a sports game. Be it football, basketball, ice hockey, baseball and all the above. We made it a tradition the day David was sent back to the asylum three years ago.

In the beginning we could just about afford the tickets, despite my protests of not needing to go to a game, he didn't bother listening to me. He definitely didn't get paid as much as he does now but we always managed to go to a game no matter what.

I remember last year when we went to see the Lakers play, I had gotten my wisdom teeth taken out the day before and my face was all swollen. We still went and I won't lie and say I didn't enjoy it. I made sure the pictures are buried though. The last thing I need is for my little devil sister finding the pictures and torturing me with them.

"You ready?" Ben asked as he poked his head through my door with his jersey and hat on.

"Yup." I grinned as I tied my laces and got up from my bed with my phone in hand.

"I just about managed to escape from Everly. She's been trying to get me to do a makeover for the last three days." He said as he shuddered at the thought.

"Where is she now?" I asked as I laughed at his obvious fear of her make over.

"I made Austin drop her off next door. Between you and me, he's seeing someone." He winked as we got into his car. Not his dad car, his cool car.

Ben has two cars. One for family trips or whenever Everly's with him, and one he uses for just himself or when it's just the boys. And let me just say, it's a beauty.

"Get comfy, it's a long drive." He grinned excitedly as he backed out the driveway and drove off.

"The New York Islanders are playing against the Arizona Coyotes." He said as he messed with the radio putting on a song.

"It should be a good game I'm excited." I replied as I felt my phone buzz in my pocket knowing exactly who it is.

"So erm I've been seeing someone." I said nervously as we stopped at a red light.

His head immediately snapped in my direction with a wide grin on his face.

"Really?!" He asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, it's not that hard to believe Benjamin." I snorted as he burst out laughing.

"Don't just leave it at that. Tell me more about her." He grinned excitedly.

"Her names Hayley and she's the opposite of me. Literally the opposite Ben." I chuckled as I thought about her.

"She's hilarious. She has the best sense of humour and she doesn't deal with any of my shit. And she's nothing like all the other girls at school. She's...unique. She's also really clever, probably more than me but don't tell her that." I smiled at the thought of her.

"How long have you been seeing her for?" He asked with an excited smile on his face.

"Three months. I was planning on asking her to be my girlfriend. I was going to ask Athena for help." I told him sheepishly.

"I'd love to meet her. I know rest of the family will too. especially Everly." He said mischievously.

"Everly might just scare her off." I laughed as I felt my phone buzz once again.

"When are you planning on asking her?" He asked as he drove around the parking lot looking for a parking spot. I didn't even realise we were here.
