In Your Dreams

Part 45

*Shennika's POV* At the Lynch's House

The following weekend washed up quick enough that if anything, we could have missed it altogether; going to Ross' family bonfire party was the only thing that kept me off the edge and got me through the long week. The water incident with Kelli was a bit traumatizing but the strange thing was, was that I hadn't received any words from Kelli- literally nothing! No more snide comments, bitching, or hate messages via Twitter.

I mentally concluded that she was troubled by it too; I still couldn't shake the idea that maybe there was more to it- Kelli was a tricky one...

Finally the day came- it wasn't hard persuading my lot into coming because (like me) they were dying with curiosity to actually see what the Lynch's house looked like; me on the other hand purely wanted to see Ross in his own environment and what glorious surprise he had for me this time- as long as it weren't water I was happy...

We entered through their side entrance once Ryland unlatched the gate, Rocky jogged from behind him and greeted me and my accompanies with a huge smile. "Hey guys! So glad you could make it, refreshments and food in the back, so dig in!" he grinned gesturing them in that direction. My mum patted him on the arm "thanks...Riker?" I face palmed my forehead in embarrassment- she can't be serious! How many times did I have to remind her of their names!?

"No I'm Rocky... the better looking one" he smirked wriggling his dark eye brows at her making me yet again face palm my forehead. I watched in mortification as he slightly caressed my mother's hand in which she mockingly curtsied in her red evening gown.
"But if you're looking for my not-as-good-looking older brother, he's in the back" he winked yet again sending my mother away laughing.

I gave him a tilted head look holding my hands on my hips; he came forward pulling me into a warm hug digging his chiselled chin into my shoulder, "hey I missed you, I heard what happened with Kelli- such a bitch move," he frowned holding onto me.

I pulled back and shrugged still in his arms, "well it was no secret she disliked me- she did push me off a pier" I laughed awkwardly at my own joke but he kept a serious face, "I did try to patch things up with her but now I know not to go back there again."

"Yeah..." he watched me for a moment, "stay away from her, I don't want anything bad happening to you- nothing more bad anyway, that missy's messed with you and my brother long enough now." I nodded and gave him another hug, thanks for gesture Rocky but I'm good for now.

"You guys aren't hiding are ya? Come on and join the Parrrt-ay-ay! Parrrt-ay-ay!" Riker laughed appearing out of nowhere and started dancing crazily, I exchanged very different looks with Rocky who at that moment winked at me grinning and joined in with his brother's eccentric dancing- he displayed a butterfly type dance moving his arms and legs in a synchronised motion making me tilt my head back in laughter.

"Wha- what ohhhh!!"

"No, no wait Rik do it like this!" Rocky shook his head waving his hand at his brother in disapproval.

"Nah what kinda move is that?" Riker exclaimed placing his forehead in the gap between his thumb and forefinger in displeasure. "Rocky stop, look you're just embarrassing yourself, especially in front of Ross' girl!" I rolled my eyes and laughed at what the pair were doing.
Placing my hands in the comfortable front pockets of my playsuit; I stood waiting for them to stop their rambling. I could always walk on- hey there's a thought...

"She must be a real partier at heart" I snapped out of my thought-of-escape-plans realising they were referring to me now. "Huh? Riker what makes you think that?" I asked trying to hide the smirk I so happened to be avoiding. He shrugged grinning widely, "you came here didn't you."
