Ross and Randi: Part Two

Rydel’s POV
I woke up and stared at Randi as she slept. Since we were at the cabin, both of us shared my bed. I liked Randi. She was around my age and what stood out about her most was her kindness and quietness. At least I thought she was quiet. Then again, she could just be shy. I messed around on my phone until Randi woke up.

She rubbed her eyes and chuckled. “Rydel, I could literally feel you watching me sleep you creep.”

“Who me? Watching you sleep? Nuh-uh. I was studying you.”
“Oh that’s less creepy….sorta…”

We chatted for a bit while staying under the covers.
“Fun fact: You hog the covers and snore.” Randi laughed.
I giggled. “Fun fact: You kept putting your cold feet near me and you farted more times than I did.”

Instantly, our quiet chill time was interrupted. One of my brothers let out a blood-curdling scream. I think it was either Ryland or Rocky.
“Who’s dying?” Randi asked with sass.
“I don’t know. Let’s go find out.”

We stepped ventured outside of my room and I was immediately tackled by Riker…which was like being attacked by a twig. Just as I tried to stand up, Ryland knocked me over in his excitement. I didn’t recover as quickly as I did with Riker and Randi helped me up laughing. The boys were running up and down the halls freaking out.

“Could one of you calm down and tell us what’s up?”
“The lake finally froze over and Mommy said we could skate.” Ross grinned.

“Ooh. I’m so coming with you.” Randi squealed.
“Not if that ankle isn’t better.” Mom warned Randi.
Ross stopped what he was doing and sat on the counter. “Well she’s walking so that’s good. Can you do this?” Ross stood on the counter and did a risky backflip off of it.

Dad came out of nowhere and put Ross in a headlock. “How many times have your mother and I asked you not to do that?”
“Umm like eight and half times cuz once you asked me not to but you sneezed and never finished…” Ross smart-mouthed.

Dad and Ross continued to wrestle around. I turned to Randi. “Seriously. Let me see your ankle.”
She rolled down her sock. “It’s not swollen anymore and it doesn’t hurt. I’ll be careful. I promise.”
Mom chuckled at Randi’s excitement. “Okay but the second your ankle starts hurting again, you come in and I’ll have some hot chocolate and a blanket waiting for you.”

“YES! Okay. I’ll take it easy out there.”
Eventually we were all warmly dressed and ready to rock’n’roll.

We had to walk to the rink which was up the hill. Rocky was being a clown and using his hockey stick like an oar to “row up the hill” as he put it.

“I feel like an old lady.” Riker laughed out of breath. Just as he said that, an old lady passed us and hiked up that hill like nobody’s business.

“Dude, you just got showed up by a granny.” Ross snickered.

Randi’s POV
I loved everybody’s contagious laughter. Ross’s laugh was super adorable. So was his face…

Okay so I have a little crush on Ross. There is just somethin' about that kid that drives me insane and I really like him.

We got up the hill and I took everything in. First off, Keystone, Colorado was gorgeous and secondly, it was like a whole different state once you got up that hill. We went from rural snowy hills to a little village looking area with a huge ice rink in the middle. In the center of the rink was a giant Christmas tree.

I looked on the rink and there was already a family there.
I thought Rydel said nobody ever got on the ice this early in the morning and especially when the ice was freshly frozen. Oh well. I didn’t really care. I was way too excited to attempt hockey and practice my moves.

As I watched the little kids in the family, they skated like it was second nature. The little girl seemed to also be a figure skater. Maybe I’d reach out to her.

“Hey. Who gave you the right to skate here?” Ross shouted.

“Ross. Anyone can skate here.” I whispered.  “At least that’s what Rydel told me.”

“Let’s go get ‘em boys.” Ross smirked.  All the boys (and Rydel) threw on their skates and charged at the little kids on the ice.
If they went to jail for harassing some helpless kids, I didn’t wanna be there for that so I sat on the edge of the rink. The kids shrieked and skated away like frightened little beings. Their parents didn’t even defend their kids. What on earth was going on?

Ross skated up to one of the smaller boys in a hockey jersey and slung him over his shoulder.

“Randi! Come skate with us.” Rydel shouted.

Reluctantly, I skated up to Rydel and the girl she was standing next to. Everyone skated up to where I was standing.
“In case you were extremely confused…which I think you are, these are our cousins.” Rydel giggled.

“Ohhhhhhh….makes sense.”
“I’m Beauty.” The small blonde girl smiled. “My named me Isabelle and then they called me Belle for short and now everyone just calls me Beauty.”
I chuckled at her adorable explanation.
“Nice to meet you Beauty.”
“I’m Gator. You’re pretty.”
“Aww. Thanks Gator.” I looked over at Ross who was glaring at Gator. Rocky noticed Ross’s look.
“Uh-oh. Is Rossy jealous of his little cousin?” Rocky taunted.

“Rocky. Shush.” Ross frowned.

Eventually, the rest of the boys introduced themselves.
“Okay so lemme see if I got this. Boston, Beauty, Gordy, Gator, Gus, and Gil B?”

“Dude! You got them all.” Gordy smiled.

“Oh and over there; that’s my mom’s brother Shor and my Aunt Lenox.” Rydel mentioned. “And their little brother Baur.”
“Aww…” I giggled. “So cute.”
“He’s four now. Isn’t that crazy.” Gus said with his two missing front teeth. They all were so cute and I could NOT over all the dimples and missing teeth. Today was gonna be fun.
