A/N: 500 hits! Thanks!
Anyways enjoy the chapter! I've been busy so sorry for the late update, and the short chapter.
Read and Review please~
The sounds of our laughter echoed throughout the supermarket.
Mrs. Wilde had brought Nick and me into the store with her and when we passed the toy section…well, it looked like too much fun not to have.
We were play-fighting with foam swords we had picked up off a shelf when Mrs. Wilde started wheeling the cart to the front of the store. The line for the case register was extremely long. Perfect! More time to play!
"Thou hast made a mistake challenging the great Thane of Dairy," Nick said, waving the sword at Ace.
I chortled, swiping my own sword at him. "Have at thee!"
"Hey! Hey, hey, hey!" Mrs. Wilde called out. We stopped, and looked over. "I need some waffle mix. Can you guys grab some for me?"
Nick frowned. "Ugh. I hate waffles."
I stared at him incredulously. "What are you? How can you not like waffles."
Ms. Wilde laughed. "Because he's a weirdo. Just go and get the mix please?"
I saluted and Nick nodded. "I don't care. I'm just not going to eat them."
"Your loss," I said, racing with Nick to the correct isle.
"These look good," I said, reaching for a pack of "light and fluffy" waffle mix. Grabbing them, I turned around and passed them to Nick. "Why is mom buying all this stuff anyway?" I asked.
"Some of the family is coming over this weekend."
"Oh," I said. I hadn't even considered that Nick could have other family besides his mom. Our mom.
We walked back to the cash register where Mrs. Wilde stood, waiting behind a couple of other animals. The line was still pretty long.
"Here you go!" I called out to Mrs. Wilde, reaching up and placing the waffle mix inside the cart.
She glanced down before smiling. "Thanks guys." She tilted her head toward a couple of chairs. "You two can wait by the pharmaceutical area. I'm not sure when this line will start moving."
Nick and I nodded and we headed over to the chairs and sat down.
Some time passed before I decided to ask Nick a question.
"Soooo..." I drawled. "What's the rest of your family like?"
Nick shrugged. "Well, It's kinda hard to describe everyone."
"Do you want me to narrow it down?"
Nick nodded. "That'd be helpful."
"Alright. What's your dad like?"
"Was."
"Huh?"
"What was he like." He paused. "Before you apologize, don't feel bad. He died before I was born. My older siblings knew him, though."
I smiled. "You have more siblings?"
"Three. My oldest brother Robin, then my brother Tom, and the last one is my sister Violet. They are... twenty, eighteen, and seventeen. I think. I don't remember exactly how old Violet is."
"Where do they live?" I asked, curious why I had never seen them or even heard about them until now.
He smiled. "They live down south, in a rural area with my dad's side of the family. I can't quite remember the name of the area right now. Mom mentioned us going down there sometime this summer."
"So, who's coming by tomorrow?" I asked.
Nick stayed silent for a couple seconds before answering. "Aunt Casey, Uncle Finn, and my cousin Tay. He's like eight or nine, but he'll probably stay around them the whole time. On the bright side, Uncle Finn is a developer for a gaming company, so sometimes he brings us gifts."
That sounded so cool! I was about to ask him what sort of games, but our conversation was interrupted by the sound of Ms. Wilde's shopping cart squeaking next to us.
"Lets load up the car so we can go."
I nodded. Nick and I grabbed a handful of bags and followed her to the car.
The ride back wasn't all that eventful, as I was too lazy to bring up the topic of Nick's family again.
So Ms. Wilde did.
"Nick, Ace. We're going to have guests tomorrow, so please, clean up your room."
I muttered an "Okay", a bit annoyed because my side of the room in particular, was covered in toys and the like.
"Nick, please don't harass Finn about the games and stuff."
He rolled his eyes. "He said he doesn't mind, though."
"Just don't pester him. Last time he came by you kept bothering him until he ordered something."
Nick flushed. "I really didn't."
She laughed. "Mmmmhmmm."
I laughed a little to myself and Nick leered at me.
"Well... Ace ate a worm yesterday at the park!"
My eyes widened. "That's just because I lost that dare!"
Ms. Wilde laughed and I glared at Nick.
He grinned and stuck his tongue out.
