My Own Fame (Sequel to 'The Trap')

Lily's POV Chapter 5

This is Lily's version of what happened on that Saturday night that she and her siblings went out to the bar with their former nanny. This is a long chapter for Lily. It's the length of one of Holly's writings. But anyway, I hope you like it! Enjoy!

*A few weeks later*

"Bye Mom!"

"Where are you going, Lilybug?"

"It's Saturday, so I'll give you one guess."

"Um drinks with Sydney at the 'Leaping Frog Lounge'."

"Yep, you got it."

"So do you know when you guys will be home?"

"Not sure. But Sydney is our DD, so she'll be dropping us off somewhere between midnight and sunrise."

"Okay sounds good."

"Just so that you and Dad know, you're welcome to join us whenever. We'll be happy to have you two!"

"Aww that's really sweet of you! But we don't want to intrude."

"No, you're not intruding. It would be fun to have the added company!"

"That's my sweet girl!"

"Uh she's mine!" (Dad walked in, gave me a side hug and kissed my head.)

"Even though I'm loving this, Dyl and I really need to get going. But if you decide to join us, just show up, okay?"

"What's going on here?" Dad asked.

"Lily has invited us to join Dylan, Holly, Sydney and Lily to go to the bar with them."

"Oh that's really cool, sweetheart."

"Thanks!"

"Behave yourself tonight."

"I always do."

"Always? What about your teen years?"

"I was just testing the waters. But the important thing is that I came back."

"I'm thankful for that every day. Now if we could get Holly to follow your lead, we'd be in business."

"Well Mom I hate to tell you this, but Hol needs to want to change first and no one can do that for her. Hol loves being a rebel and that's who she is."

"How did you get so smart?"

"I got that from you, Mom."

"I told you that she's mine, Si."

"Lily takes after me too, Paula."

"Oh yeah? How?" (I love their banters!)

Dylan came into the kitchen. "Okay come on, Lily, Our uber awaits." 

"Okay," I said, grabbing my phone and purse.

"Parents, let's make this fast. Yes, we'll be good, we know the rules and we'll remind Holly of them too. But when does she ever listen to rules? You know she'll just find a loophole. We'll tip big and we'll get home at a decent hour. And yes, we'll tell Syd that you love her, miss her and want to see her soon. We love you too!"

"Wow you covered everything." (It's the same talk every time we go out.)

"Good, later."

Then our parents quickly hugged us before we ran out to our waiting uber. We could've got a limo, but we didn't want to draw attention to ourselves. I'm so glad that the uber waited for us though. Mom and Dad waved until we left the driveway. They always act as if we weren't coming back.
