"Chloe has this one really attractive friend" Luke says, walking after me with Riley on his hip. "Like really hot"
"So?" I ask, grabbing a packet of cereals.
"I'm sure she can make sure the two of you can meet"
I stop, turning around. I brought Luke with me and Riley to the store today. We're heading over to Michael's house afterwards. "What?"
"You know, introduce you to eachother"
"And why do you think I need her to introduce me to her hot friend?"
"Because she's hot, duh"
"Luke" I sigh, turning around to keep pushing the cart through the store. "I don't need a girlfriend"
"You may not need one, but you want one, am I right or am I right?"
"You're wrong, Hemmings" I grab three packets of noodles, they're always good to have. "Riley is taking up all my attention. I don't need anyone to distract me from her"
"Can we go home now?" Riley interrupt us before Luke has a chance to defend his 'brilliant' idea.
"Honey, we're in the store" I say, turning to face a tired three year old. "Not yet"
"But why?" She pouts, her eyes wet from the tears that will start running down her face any minute.
"Because we need food so that we can eat"
"But I wanna go home!" And so the tears arrived.
Seeing your little daughter who you love more than anything cry is probably one of the worse things you will ever experience in your life. It sucks, and I honestly feel so guilty.
"Hey, don't cry, Ri" Luke softly says, wiping away her tears with his thumb. "We're going over to see Michael and Jasmine after this"
"Can I see their puppy?" Riley looks up at Luke's face with big eyes. Michael and jasmine bought a puppy three months ago, and Riley loves it more than anything.
"Of course you can" Luke smiles, satisfied that he managed to stop her tears.
-
We're placed in the two sofas in Michael's living room. The tv is on, but no one is really watching. We're all listening on Ashton who's whining about the fact that he lost the number he got from that very attractive girl.
Jasmine's in the kitchen with Riley, playing with Bella - the puppy.
"Well, what was her name?" Luke glance towards the tv as he waits for Ashton's answer.
"How am I supposed to know?" Ashton snorts. "I was drunk"
Luke rolls his eyes, not replying.
I bring the beer bottle to my mouth the same minute as Riley rush out from the kitchen and towards us. "DADDY!"
"Hm?" I swallow, putting away the bottle on the table before managing to catch her in my arms. "Yes, Riley?"
"Can we buy a puppy?" She asks.
"No, I'm sorry, honey"
"Why?"
"Because we can't"
"Can I have red hair just like Michael then?"
"I've told you a thousand times, Ri - no, you can't have red hair"
"Why?"
"Because I say so"
Everyone chuckles at our little conversation, but all I can do is sigh. I may love her, but boy, she drives me crazy like half of the time.
"Why are you so mean?" She asks, crossing her little arms over her chest.
"I'm not mean, Riley" I softly say, but it's too late. She's climbing over Luke's lap and then bumping down in Ashton's arms, already sobbing.
"Aw, Ri" Ashton gives her a small hug. "Don't cry"
I sigh again, closing my eyes hard.
Riley tilts her head back, her bottom lip shaking. "W-will you get me a puppy, Ashton?"
Everyone burst out into a big laughter, the girl knows how to play her cards. Ashton gives her everything she wants, of course she went to him the first thing after I said no.
"This is why I don't want you guys to spoil her" I say. Whenever I say no, one of the guys will say yes. It always ends up with me being the bad guy. If I could I would give everything she wants, because I want her to be happy. But the thing is that I can't, she just won't understand that.
Jasmine arrives in the room, placing herself in Michael's lap. He's placed in the two seated sofa next to us. Michael wraps his arms around Jessica, kissing her on the cheek.
"Why is she crying?" Jasmine asks, nodding towards Riley's drained cheeks. "Who dropped something on her this time?"
We've had a few... Accidents, in the past. And with accidents I mean us dropping books, shoes, several different drinks and some food on the poor little creature. No one has ever dropped something on her on purpose, it just happens. Like at least once in a month...
"No one has dropped anything" I say. "She's mad because I want buy her a puppy or allow her to dye her hair red like Michael's"
"But she would be so adorable in dark red, Cal"
"No way" I furrow my eyebrows. Absolutely no! Her hair is one of few things from me, I refuse to let anyone destroy that. "She's staying brunette"
"Fine" jasmine stands up. "What do you want for dinner? Pizza? Chinese?"
