Ryder's POV:
Keaton and I walked into the recording studio.
I hugged Wes and then Drew.
"No more texting in class." Drew said sternly.
"Yeah, I know. I just didn't want to forget." I said.
"Alright. Who's your friend that's coming over?" He asked.
"Her name is Julianna. I already texted her our address so that her mom can pick her up Saturday." I said.
Nick's dad, Tony, tossed me a can of Diet Mountain Dew before talking to some tech guys.
"Can I have some money to get some food?" I asked Drew.
"Fine." He sighed, handing me a ten dollar bill.
"Thank you." I said, hugging him quickly before taking the elevator down to the lobby.
I went to the vending machines but, absolutely nothing looked appetizing.
I quickly called Drew.
"Hello?" His voice sounded.
"Hey. Do you mind if I go across the street to Subway?" I asked.
"It's cool. Be careful please."
"Thank you. I will." With that, I ended the call and went over to Subway a.k.a my fucking kingdom.
I ordered my sandwich and walked back over to the recording studio building place thing.
The lady at the front desk, she looks to be about Drew's age, looked somewhat upset.
"Hi." I piped up when I reached the front desk. "My name's Ryder." I said.
"Hi. I'm Kelsey. Can I help you?" She asked, a smile never leaving her face.
"No, you just looked a little upset." I said. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, my job is just a bit boring, is all."
"I know enough about being alone to tell, that isn't what's bothering you." I said.
"Okay. Well, I've recently got over the fact that I had a miscarriage with a baby, who I didn't even know who the father was. My mom was helping me out and after we found out about the miscarriage, she let be and I guess I just miss having somebody around." She said, tears brimming her eyes.
I went around the desk, and hugged her tight. Here I am, the girl with social and seperation anxiety, minor mood swings and OCD and so many other social problems, hugging a total stranger.
If I'm actually quite honest, her and Drew would look absolutely adorable together.
Just so you guys know, I claim zero ownership of setting Jess and Wes up. Not only because it would've been a failed attempt but, Wes and Carly are back together. And you'd feel weird if your brother and cousin were dating. You catching drift?
We all know this is going to be a process of getting Kelsey and Drew together.
"I really needed that hug." Kelsey said, sniffling.
"Ryder, you've been gone for an hour. What the hell have you been doing?" I heard Drew's voice ask from behind me.
"Oh. I was talking to Kelsey." I said.
"Who's Kelsey?" He asked.
"Oh, this is her." I said pulling her over to him.
Drew's POV:
She was absolutely stunning.
She was fairly short, about 5'4" with lightly tanned skin, dark hair and dark eyes that were framed with black glasses.
"Hi. I'm Kelsey." She said, sticking her hand out for me to shake.
Even her voice is perfect.
I grasped her hand in mine, gently shaking it.
"I'm Drew. Ryder's adoptive father." I introduced myself.
Kelsey's POV:
The way he introduced himself was just as flawless as himself.
His confidence was defenately a major turn-on. And his eyes, don't even get me started on his eyes. His hair. Holy hell.
His smile was defenately my favorite. It just illuminated his face. I swear it could light up the entire Huntington Beach.
We stood in silence until Ryder spoke up. "I'm gonna go up and eat my sandwich. You two have fun." And with that, she was gone.
"So, what would it take, for a guy like me, to get your number?" Drew asked.
"Well, for a guy like you, it wouldn't take much at all." I said before jotting down my phone number on a post-it note and handing it to him.
He looked at it, and then looked up.
"I'll call you tonight." He said winking, before kissing my cheek and went up to the recording rooms.
