The Life of a Lynch

Chapter 4

Rydels POV

OK so we need bread, milk, and cheese. I was in the grocery store picking up some things for Ross, Rocky, and myself. Oh and kiwis and salsa and-- ooh Sugar Daddy's. I half walked half ran into the candy isle and picked up a bag of Sugar Daddy's. Even though they werent on the list they were the first thing in the basket. I turned to walk out of the isle and almost ran into someone turning the corner. 

"Oops sorry," I said looking up. "Oh hey Calum! What are you doing here? And whos this?" I asked, talking about the tall brunet boy standing next to him.

"Right. This is Jesse, my caveman. Hes spending this week indoors with me instead of his home cave." Typical Calum for you, I rolled my eyes with a smile.

"Heh! More like youre my caveman," Jesse said. Then he looked at me, "Im his cousin." He looked down at my basket and his eyes got big. "Sugar Daddy's! Those things are my favorite!"

"Really? Mine too," I said smiling at him.

"Im going to go get some Sugar Daddy's and Skittles," Calum said patting Jesse on the shoulder and walking down the isle.

Jesse waited until Calum was out of earshot to speak again. "Here let me put my number in your phone." I handed him my phone and he started typing. 

We stared at each other for few seconds until Calum came back. "Ok Jess, lets go," he said walking away. 

Jesse followed him for a few steps then turned back around. "Text me tonight," he said before turning back and running to catch up with Calum.

I walked through the apartment door, carrying all of the bags in my arms so I didnt have to make two trips. "Hey boys! Guess who I ran into at the store," I said half running over to the counter to set the heavy bags down.

"Auntie Rydel!" I head a familiar voice yell. 

I quick knelt down to give Charlotte a hug. "Hey Char! Hows my favorite four year old niece doing?"

"Good!" She said smiling with all her teeth. "Daddy and Mommy are going on a vacation. So I get to stay here!" She yelled.

"Oh really?" I said raising my eyebrows at Ross who was standing next to an open fridge. He mouthed a sorry back.

"I brough my dollies. You wanna play?" She asked cocking her head to one side. 

I turned my attention back on Charlotte and smiled. "Sure. Go in the bedroom and I'll be in there in a minute."

"Ok!" She squealed running into my Ross' bedroom.

I stood up and looked at Ross. He didnt even give me a chance to say anything. "Ok. I know you want to know when shes staying here but I swear I didnt know about this one," he said putting his hands up in defense.

"Ok, so that was Rikers fault not communicating with you. Wheres Rocky?" I asked looking around the room to see if I had missed him.

"At Blairs?" Ross gave me a confused and questioning look back. 

"No. He and Blair got into another fight so hes staying here for a couple nights until she calms down. Now...My question is, where is Charlotte going to sleep?" The apartment we had only had two bedrooms and when Rocky was back he slept on the couch. When Charlotte stayed over she slept in Ross' room and he took the couch. I didnt know how this was going to work with four people staying here tonight.

"Ugh. I dont know," Ross said running his hands through his hair. "We'll figure that out later. But I am going out tonight so can you watch her?"

"Ok I absolutely love Char but did you even think about me having plans? And also youre not going out and bringing some girl home from a club in front of your daughter."

"What?! Rydel Lynch has plans?! Alert the media!" he yelled while running over to the window to jokingly  yell out side.

"Shut up," I said rolling my eyes and laughing.

"But seriously you have plans?" he asked walking back over to me.

"Yeah. I do," I said smiling thinking of Jesse.

"Really," he said blankly, and I could tell he didnt believe me considering I rarely ever have plans. "With who?"

"No one."

"Mhm. What ever guy shows up at that door next, I'll beat him up," he said crossing his arms.

Just then Rocky walked through the front door and I let out a giggle. "Ok. You better start beating," I smiled at him.

"Beating what?" Rocky asked putting his jacked down on the couch.

"Nothing. Hey can you watch Charlotte tonight?" Ross asked trying to avoid looking at me.

"Ross!"

"Ok Ok. Never mind," he said putting his hands up again.

"Ok. Im going to go play with Charlotte," I said and then walked into my room.
