The next day, Mike went to the orphanage and successfully adopted his new family member. He was very excited about it and could barely sleep the night before. He also wondered if he should consider Jesalyn as his sister or his child. Before he went to the orphanage, he asked Jesalyn what she perfered and she choose sister.
Now, the two were in Mike's car on the way to go get ice cream. Jesalyn sat happily in the back seat, almost drooling of the thought of the cool sweet treat. Her purple eyes were especially bright on this wonderful day as she watched people and other cars go by. Mike watched her from his rear view mirror, smiling. He didn't have any siblings so having a new family member would make those lonely days much brighter. She was also a way to keep him alive and he was very thankful for that.
As they continued driving, a sudden outburst of song erupted though out the car. The twenty year old grabbed his phone and pressed aweser, placing the device between his ear and his shoulder to avoid holding it.
"What's up?"
"Hey Mike. Jeremy just told us about you adopting some kid. Did you really do it?" Scott's voice came from the other end. He sounded amused, yet worried.
"Ah, yea. She's my new sister. She needed a home and I don't want to be alone forever so I thought, 'why the hell not?'"
The sound of shuffling and muffled talking could be heard before Scott began talking again. "Alright. Um, are you close by any chance?" Mike hesitated before giving an honest aweser.
"No, we're on the way to go get ice cream. You can meet us there if you want since you live close to the shop."
"Y-yea. We'll do that. Well, I'll see you there."
Mike froze. Did he say we? That meant someone was with him and he knew exactly who it was. "Wait! Who is with you?" Before he could finish his sentence, the call had ended. Sighing heavily, he placed his phone down and looked up at Jesalyn. "Hey Jezzy, a few of my friends are coming with us to get ice cream. They won't bother you, they just want to meet you."
Jesalyn glanced up and nodded, smiling. "Okay! Are they nice like Jeremy?" The brunette nodded, still watching the road. "Yeah. Scott is really nice and so is Vincent," he replied. He bit his lip as he thought about Vincent might do. He didn't really like children and he was really unpredictable.
'Hopefully he won't try anything.'
Ten minutes later, the new siblings pulled into the shops parking lot. Mike sighed as he parked the car and got out with Jesalyn, the eight year old singing a made up song about ice cream. As they entered the building, Mike spotted two familiar faces sitting at a table in the back. Apparently they saw him too because they waved at him and motioned for him to come over.
Mike sat down at the table and placed Jesalyn in his lap. Instantly Jesalyn studied their appearances.
The one that was sitting across from them had black hair that spiked up a little in the back, bright brown eyes and green glasses. He seemed nervous like Jeremy was, but also seemed happy. Another thing she noticed was that he kept fumbling with his phone for some reason.
The other guy, he also had black hair and purple eyes like her. There wasn't anything really special about him other than the fact that he was covered in purple clothing. His expression made him seem like he was angry for some unknown reason.
"I didn't think you would actually show up.." Mike admitted as he looked at the one with the glasses.
The man laughed softly and pointed at the purple one. "I wanted to come, Vincent didn't. Once I told him you had a kid, I had to drag him to the car." Mike nodded and looked down at Jesalyn. "Anyway, Jesalyn, this is Scott and Vincent. They work me at the pizzeria." Scott waved at her and Vincent didn't say anything. Well, he didn't until Mike kicked him under the table. Only then did he groan and mumble a greeting.
Jesalyn smiled at them. "Hi! I'm Jesalyn." She then looked over at Vincent. "Mister Vincent, did you know that purple is my favorite color? I love it so much, that my eyes are purple like yours!" She giggled as the man rolled his eyes, forcing himself not to smile. He really wanted too but that would make him weak and he was NOT weak. "That's great.." He remarked sarcastically.
"Hey Jezzy, what kind of ice cream do you want?" Mike asked suddenly.
"Vanilla. Don't forget the sprinkles too!" she replied as she crawled over to the chair beside them to allow him to get up. Her new brother nodded and got up, leaving the other three alone. Scott was the first to speak. "So Jesalyn, did Mike adopt you?" The girl nodded. "Yep. He's my big brother now. He found me at the pizzeria with Bonnie." The two men became shocked.
"Why were you in the pizzeria?"
Jesus, how many times did she have to explain it. Maybe she should just write a book and tell them to read it.
Just as she opened her mouth, Mike returned with a tray full of ice cream. "Alright. Strawberry for me, chocolate for Scotty, and vanilla with sprinkles for Jezzy." He named off each order as he sat them in front of everyone. "Oh, and cotton candy for Vinny." The purple man snatched the plastic cup away from Mike and forcefully stabbed a spoon in it. Now he really did look weak..
(Greetings everyone! I have finally returned! * Gets kicked for being gone for so long * Sorry! Anyway, I know I said I would post three chapters but I need some help. Since our little angel is going to public school, she needs friends. That's why I'm going to pick two lucky people to become her friends! I have some requirements though..
1. I need to be able to contact you and discuss about the story. If you have a Wattpad account or a Quotev account that would be great since I use those a lot.
2. I need details about your character so I can work with him/her.
That's about it so yea. Also, if everything goes well, I may let you be a second author for this story. I don't usually have time for spell cheaks and make sure everything is worded right so I would appreciate help. Well, that's all for now.
Later!
