The Family

Chapter 11

I was sitting in the locker room waiting for my dad to come back from his match or where ever he was so we could just leave already. My Uncle Shawn went on a search to look for Paul about 10 minutes ago to tell him I was ready to leave. I was on Shawn's laptop, patiently tapping my toe to the beat currently in my head. I was surfing the internet, getting caught up on the news and pop culture. When my dad and uncle walked in, Paul walked right up to me. He pulled me into a tight hug and kissed my forehead before pulling back, only slightly, and looked me over.

"Are you alright?" He asked concerned.

I faked a smile and nodded. "I'm fine"

"You sure?" He asked and I nodded again. "You want to get some food?"

I shook my head and pulled a hand through my hair. "No, I just want to get back to the hotel and sleep off this miserable day."

"Alright, let's go baby." He said and quickly changed into his street clothes before hoisting his gym bag over his shoulder. "Bye Shawn" Paul said, gently wrapping his arm tight around me as we walked out the door. I smiled at Shawn as we passed, too tired to speak.

Once we arrived at the hotel, I immediately changed into short shorts and a baggy shirt. I took off my makeup and threw my hair into a messy ponytail.

"Do you need anything?" Dad asked as I climbed into bed.

"No, I'm fine." I said, flipping on the TV "You go on ahead." I said figuring he was going out with the boys.

"What, you don't want me around?" He asked in mock hurt.

I turned to him and smiled "That's exactly it." I said joking.

"Okay, okay, I can take a hint." He stuffed his wallet in his back pocket and walked toward me. He pressed a soft kiss to my forehead. "Call me if you need me."

"I will. Now go on old man, get." I said playfully pushing him away.

"Hey, what did I tell you about that?" He asked as he left and I just laughed. Once the door closed, I focused all my attention on the TV and fell into the plot of the show.

The next morning I was awoken by my very rude father and uncle. First, my uncle Mark came over and he and my dad were talking rather loudly to each other, which woke me up. Then, they left and it allowed me to sleep for a while longer. Unfortunately, they came back and were slamming doors and clanging glasses together, which caused me to wake up, once again.

"You guys are so loud!" I said moodily and yanked the covers over my head.

"Good morning Sunshine." Uncle Mark said cheerfully. I pulled one hand out from beneath the covers and threw a pillow in the direction I heard his voice. "Hey, hey. That was close to hitting me."

"That was the point." I said tiredly.

"Now that's no way to treat an uncle that brought you food." He said. I pulled the covers off my face and tilted my head up to see him.

"What you got?" I asked curiously, trying to see what they bought.

"Come and see." He said taking a sip of what I assumed was coffee. I turned and saw my dad munching on a bagel and cream cheese.

"Hi dad." I said happily with a smile.

"Good morning Ellie. Come get some food." Dad said, pointing to the bag of food they bought.

"I don't know, I don't really want a bagel." I said, not willing to get out of bed for a bagel.

"Well if you got out of bed, you'd see we didn't get you a bagel." Uncle Mark said.

"Alright, alright." I said and swung the covers away from me and slowly walked to the table. I grabbed the bag of food and glanced at Mark before I looked in to see what they got. I smiled when I saw they got me doughnuts. "Thank you very much. This is a pleasant surprise." Since I've been here, everyone always teases me about the food I order. What can I say, I'd rather have a burger and fries than a plate full of tasteless lettuce.

"Your welcome." They both said simultaneously. I took a sip of the hot chocolate they got me and reached in and grabbed a glazed doughnut.

"Well, We're off to hit the gym." Dad said and he stood up and threw away their trash.

"Ok." I said as I chewed contently on my doughnut. "Don't be too long."

"We'll be fast." He said and kissed my forehead before grabbing his gym bag. Mark also kissed my forehead and grabbed his bag and then they were off. I grabbed my bag of food and hot chocolate and relocated to my bed. I leaned my back on the headboard, crossed my legs at my ankles and turned on the TV, hoping to find something good on. It wasn't long before there was a knock on the door. I got up and answered it and was surprised to see Randy looking absolutely delicious in jeans and a gray t-shirt.

"Hey," I said with a bright smile. "What's up?"

"Well I was coming up from breakfast and saw your dad and Mark and they asked me to look after you, which I certainly didn't mind doing." He said also with a smile.

"Glad to hear. Come on in, I was just watching an America's Next Top Model marathon, you can join me." I said opening the door wider for him to enter and closed it behind him. I sat down on the bed and patted the spot next to me for him to join me. I grabbed my other doughnut and showed it to him. "Want to share?" He looked at it with hunger and I instantly knew he hadn't had a doughnut in ages.

"Nah, I'm fine. I just ate." He lied.

"Come on, I know you want it."

"But I can't."

"Yes you can. When was the last time you had a doughnut?" I asked curiously.

He thought about it for a while before answering. "Probably a year."

My eyes about popped out my head, that was not right. "Well that will simply not do. We are definitely going to change that right now." I ripped the tasty treat in the middle and gave him half.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Of course, I couldn't finish it anyway, I already had one." I said taking a bite of my half. I watched as he took a bite of his and smiled when his eyes closed in ecstasy. "Good?"

He opened his eyes, finished chewing, and smiled. "Great."

"Good." I said and focused my attention on the TV. We sat in a comfortable silence for a while, just eating and watching TV. It took a few minutes for me to figure out that Randy wasn't watching the television anymore, but me. It took even longer for me understand why but I did. It was because I was still in my PJ's. Instead of making a comment, I just looked him in the eye and smiled. I had to admit, I liked knowing he was more interested in me than the TV.
