Lynch's Girl

Part 3

~Rydel's P.O.V.~

The next morning, I help dress Rylie for our shopping trip (pic attached).

"Stay safe, be back soon." Riker instructs.

"Okay." I say, rolling my eyes. He picks up Rylie and looks at her.

"Make sure to drive Auntie Rydel insane." he tells her.

"Alright, daddy." she smiles.

"Hey!" I give them an offended face. They both just laugh until I take Rylie from Riker and set her on the ground. "Alright, we're going." I say.

"Bye, daddy." Rylie waves as we walk out.

"Bye." Riker waves back. We walk outside and Rylie climbs in the back of my car while I get in the driver's seat. We drive to the nearest mall and hop out. Rylie runs up and grabs my hand as we walk inside.

"Auntie Rydel?" she asks.

"Yeah."

"Why are all those girls pointing at us?"

"Because Auntie Rydel and all your Uncles are famous." I answer.

"Even daddy?"

"Yes. Even daddy. So if they come running up to us, hold onto my hand really tight, okay?" I say. She nods. Good timing too because girls squeal and run over to us. I pick up Rylie as the girls run of to us. The mob of girls attracts a mob of paparazzi. Rylie burries her face in my shoulder as they bombard us.

"Who's the girl?"

"Is she your daughter?"

"Why is the girl with you?" the paps start asking questions that have to do with Rylie.

"No matter what they say, don't reply." I whisper to Rylie. She nods and keeps her face down. I sign some of the girls' posters while continuing to hold Rylie with one hand. The paps keep asking questions about Rylie but once I'm done with posters, I walk away. The cameras keep following me though until security come and get them away.

"Are they gone now?" Rylie asks.

"Yeah." I answer, setting her down on the ground.

"Good. Can we go shopping now?" she smiles.

"Of course!" I agree. We walk all around the mall until it's about to close. By then though, I'm the only one really shopping since Rylie is sleepily following me. We've made a trip out to put some bags in the car but she's still carrying one and I'm carrying two.

"Auntie Rydel, can we go home?" she questions, rubbing her eyes.

"Yeah. Right after this, girly." I say, handing my credit card to the cashier.

"Here you go. By the way, I'm a huge fan, Rydel." the lady tells me.

"Thanks. Glad you like R5." I reply.

"Who's the little girl?" she asks, with a little disgust.

"Uh, this is my niece Rylie." I sass. Rylie gives a small wave as she yawns and the girl rolls her eyes.

"If she's your niece, doesn't that mean she's one of your siblings' daughter?" the girl sasses back.

"I think I've talked to you enough. Good bye." I reply, grabbing my last bag and walking out of the store with Rylie trailing behind me.
