More Than Friends

chapter 11

Ryder!" I chuckle as he spins around the room I giggle "your silly" I laugh as he smiles "momma I love you" he grins running into my arms I squeeze him tightly. He is now 4 1/2 his birthday is in a few weeks as is mine is in two days he looks everything like riker which reminds me of him everyday, i still haven't seen or spoken to riker and it's horrible to think he just left us but I've been moving on slowly as much as I want him to just walk through the door it just don't happen I guess I can just dream and hope maybe one day...

I sigh and pick up Ryder "How about we go visit grandma and grandpa and Your uncle's and aunt? I smile

He nods "Yeah momma I miss them"

I smile as we gather somethings and we head out to the car I buckle him in and we head out we don't really live far away just about 10 minutes out from each other. Once we arrive I parked and open the door as Ryder hops out running to the door and starts knocking I smile as stormie opens the door.

"Is that my ryder?" she smiles

"Grandma" he laughs jumping into her arms as she squeezes him gently sitting him down he runs inside.

"Hey sweetie how you feeling?" she smiles hugging me tightly she knows how much I've struggled raising Ryder but everyone has helped me.

I smile "I'm good just missed everyone and the boys and delly?"

"There in the backyard Goofing around you know them" she shakes her head I laugh making my way to the back stopping to say hi to Mark before opening the back door I spot Ryder running as Ross chases him around.

"Jazzy!" rydel yells running to me I hug her tightly as the boys join in I laugh and smile

"So what's new?" rydel smiles as we sit down

"Nothing really" I sigh sadly looking at her

"Nothing huh?." she frowns knowing what I'm thinking

"So we made reservations at the mgm club in Vegas for your birthday we leave tomorrow morning." she clasp her hands smiling widely I sigh

"Mom agreed to watch Ryder and you need to go out it's been 4 years I don't think you deserve to suffer for his mistakes who knows if he'll ever come back" she frowns as do I

"Stop being so sad and be happy" she smiles I not in agreement hearing Ryder giggle I look at him smiling as he plays with Ross and Ellington

"Uncle Ross where's my daddy?" he ask

My heart drops at that exact second he had asked once before but forgot about it but now he waits patiently looking at Ross who looks at me and then Rocky who looks at his feet

"Ryder your daddy he went on a little vacation but he'll be back soon I promise" Ross smiles my eyes blur with tears as Rocky hugs me

"But just know daddy loves you so much Ryder wait here" he sighs running inside coming out with a picture in his hands

"Here buddy so when daddy's not around you can have this that's your daddy playing his guitar you keep it ok?" Ross smiles

Ryder grins widely and I smile "I wanna be just like him" he grins looking at the picture

Ross ruffles his hair "yeah I tell you what when daddy comes home I'll tell him to teach you ok?" Ryder nods and runs inside to show Mark and stormie

I wipe my eyes as everyone looks at me I smile "thanks for everything guys really" I say hugging them

"Vegas time baby!!" Rocky yells
We laugh going inside to eat dinner.

>>>>>>>> time relapsed

"Hello Vegas" we all yell as We arrived we parked the car and headed up to our hotel which overlooked the strip it was exciting being here.

"Okay well girls better get ready for tonight" Ross says opening his hotel room we nod as we open ours and place our bags down we smile at the view

"So since it's your birthday I'll do your makeup okay?" I nod as delly hands me a bag "they boys brought you this I help of course though." she smiles

I open it revealing a blue dress that reaches mid thigh and has a few slits on the sides it's strapless alone with some black wedge high heels I smile hugging her then running to shower.

It only takes me 15 minutes and I get out and put on my undergarments slipping on the dress as rydel drys my hair and starts curling it then she does my makeup very natural and light then I put on my shoes and twirl.

"Wow you look perfect!" she squeals I smile hugging her

As we grab our hotel key and walk out meeting the boys who have there jaws dropped we laugh " you girls wow" we smile "guess well need to look after them so guys won't try anything" they joke as we walk to the elevator once we reach the lobby we make our way to the taxi.

We arrive and head up front
"Name?" the bouncer says

"Lynchs" Rocky smiles as he lets us in the music playing loudly as we walk to the bar ordering some drinks.

"Cousin!" Brandon and Savannah say loudly hugging me followed by alexa I smile

"Suprise" they smile "Rocky told us so we wanted to surprise you" they smiled

I playfully punch Rocky "you know I hate suprises anymore I should be warned about?" i laugh

"You'll see" he jokes pulling alexa to his side I raise an eyebrow ignoring it as we head to the dance floor.

After some drinks and dancing Ross pulls me aside "what's up?" I smile

"Your present has just arrived Mrs. Lynch" he says pulling me down the hall to some private vip rooms I sigh nervously

"Don't be nervous okay it took us a while to track down but we couldn't see you suffering so we did everything we could" he smiles I hug him

"Call of you need anything okay well be in that room drinking " he smirks pointing to a room down the hall then winks opening the door I step inside closing the door behind me.

As I turn around my heart stops no no no it's impossible my breath hitches as the figure turns around moving his long blonde hair to the side

"Riker?" I whisper

To be countinued.....
