Connor's POV-

Lydia and Suzy walked out hand in hand as I carried Suzy's over sized ass doll to the car. Lydia was a lot better at guitar hero than I thought she would have been. She actually beat me. So now I owe her whatever she wants. Pretty scary.

"Did you have fun Suzy?" Lydia asked Suzy from the front seat.

"Yeah! Chucky smelt like a wet doggy. Like wishy." She said giggling.

"I can't argue with that." Lydia laughing with her.

She reached for the radio knob and cranked away. Talk Dirty by Jason Derulo just happened to be on. As she sang the chorus I leaned in and whispered, "Okay winner." my hand slid up her leg to her upper thigh.

"Connor!" she gasped swatting at my hand. I mustered a smirk and slid my hand back to the wheel.

-------------------------------------------------------

Lydia put Suzy to sleep around 10. I'm pretty sure she didn't want Suzy to go to bed, but she fell asleep while playing with wishbone.

"Hey Conn" Lydia said slipping back into the bedroom. She had some darkish bags under her eyes as she slouched toward the bed. Her long hair was matted up and her makeup was off. My girl in the natural state of being is literally the most beautiful fucking thing ever. She was beautiful with and without makeup.

"Hey baby. Come on and lay down." I said pulling back on the large comforter and patting the spot next to me.

"Thank you for understanding." She said bending down into the bed and nuzzling up into my chest. She was asleep in no time. Small snores escaping her mouth every once in a while. I ran my fingers through her long, tangled hair.

About an hour or so later, Lydia called out for me. She was still snuggled up to my plain white t-shirt.

"Connor?"

"Yeah babe?"

"Remember, before the thing with Jc and I happened, how we were suppose to have some roommates?" She asked, her eyes still closed.

"Yeah, what about it Lyd?"

"I like your friends. Even jc. I led him on and then told him no. Me being raped was my fau--"

"Don't you dare fucking say that. You know damn well that is not your fault." I growled through clenched teeth. She knew how I felt about the situation, and she just blamed herself for what that scumbag did to her. As I think more and more about it, anger swells into every pore of my body, but it soon departs as Lydia slides her small hand up to my arm. Her eyes are now opened and full with concern. Her hand gently squeezes my bicep and moves slowly up and down.

"Please don't," she spoke in a whisper.

"You don't know what I meant. I meant it was my fault. He got the wrong idea. You know I have would never done that with anyone except for you Connor. I love you and only you."

"And I love you Lydia." I said planting small kisses to her lips.

"But back to what I was saying. I really did like your friends, I dunno if they liked me or not but I'd love for them to come live with us. I'm pretty sure Suzy would too. She is actually a real catch for such a young one."

"Well I'll give them all a call in the morning. We should go to bed now." I said glancing at the clock that read 4:09 am.

"Shit." Lydia 'silently' cursed. She is so cute.

-------------------------------------------------------

The alarm clock went off around 7 but Lydia nor myself heard it go off. We actually woke up around 11 from Suzy crawling up and between Lydia and I. She snuggled up into Lydia's chest and whispered loud enough for Lydia to hear it. Myself included.

"Lydia. My belly wants some breakfast."

"Does it?" Lydia asked still snoozing.

"Yes." Suzy replied, not realizing Lydia is not fully awake.

"I'll make you some food Suzy." I said, siting up and pulling her by the underarms and onto my front hip. Her head nuzzled into my collarbone. Her small hands wrapped, attempted to wrap, around my broad shoulders.

When we finally reached the kitchen I sat Suzy on the far right counter top. So she wouldn't be in the way of things.

"What do you want Suzy?"

"Yummy tummy food." she giggled into her small hands.

"How about some pancakes, bacon, and eggs?" I asked, a bit childishly. Last night it finally dawned on me, that Suzy isn't a young adult like Lydia and I. She is a young child. I should treat her like one. I remember standing by the door last night, listening to Lydia talk to her before Suzy fell asleep. Lydia was so gentle, so caring. As if she were literally Suzy's mother. She spoke with true and utter compassion. And then I thought about how I talked to Suzy. Like she was one of the guys. With dullness and boredom. It hit me last night that once Suzy gets older, and actually can comprehend what I did to her family, that she will despise me. So I might as well try to make her like me while I can.

"Yes. That's very yummy tummy food." she giggled again. As I prepared the food, Lydia came down. She climbed onto the counter right next to Suzy, sleep still on her long lashes. Lydia seriously is gorgeous. Her longish hair pulled into a ponytail, one of my plain white shirts on her with a pair of blue pajama pants on, a small pair of gray house slippers covering her feet.

"Connor!" Lydia shrieked, pulling me from my thoughts.

"Huh?"

"I think you may be burning something." She said peering over my shoulder to the slightly burned bacon.

"Fuck." I mumbled under my breath, I think Suzy may have heard it because seconds later, Lydia scowled her for saying something inappropriate.
