Dance for you
Chapter 3
A:N- I know it's a short chapter but I felt inspired today. Hope you enjoy :)
"And then Dora and Boots ran into swiper the fox." Destiny said, in excitement.
"Oh no! Did Swiper take the flower?" Christina asks, browsing through the grocery isle.
"No, cause he said 'swiper no swiping!'"
"That's good, then what happened?" As her little sister went on about the episode, she scanned the boxes of cereal. She picked up two and placed them in front of Destiny. "Which one?"
Destiny looks at the two boxes. "Ummm...That one." She pointed to the coco puffs.
"Chocolate cereal it is," Chris said, tossing it into the almost full basket.
"Chris?"
"Yes lady bug?"
"Where's our mommy?" Destiny asks.
Chris stops and looks at her young sister. She gives a sigh, "I don't know lady bug,"
"Did she not loves us?" Tears started to build in Destiny's big brown eyes.
"Woah, mommy loves each of us. She might have a funny way of showing it but she loves us especially you." Chris assured. Deep down Chris didn't know how her mom felt about her nor her siblings. She wasn't gonna tell her little sister that.
"Does she love me like you do?"
"Now that is impossible because I love you this much." Christina answers, spreading her arms far apart.
Destiny shook her head and spreads her arms. "No because I love you this much."
Christina shook her head, "nope because I love you more than that." She said, pressing her lips against the 3 1/2 year olds head.
Destiny laughs, "okay, you win." She said.
"Can't beat sissy's love for you." Chris said, continuing her shopping.
As the two continued to stroll the grocery store, they come to an isle. Destiny finds herself looking at this one woman. She has blond streaks in her hair, which first caught her attention.
"I like your hair," Destiny said, loud enough for the woman to hear.
The woman smiles and walks over, "I like your hair too."
"My sissy did it for me."
The woman looks at Christina, "You've got yourself a beautiful daughter with good taste."
Christina chuckles, "Not my daughter, she's my little sister. What do you say Destiny?"
"Thank you, ma'am"
"Don't call me ma'am, call me Gemma." The woman introduced, extending her arm to Chris.
"I'm Christina but friends and family call my Chris for short." She said, shaking the woman's hand.
"My name is Destiny Isabelle Hackman." Destiny announced.
The two women chuckled, "Nice to meet both of you." Gemma said, "You must be new, never seen you around here before."
"Me and my family moved here 6 months ago. Wanted a new start and surprisingly more job opportunities here. "
"Well, Welcome to Charming."
"Sissy where are we going?" Destiny asks from the back seat.
"Rodney forgot his lunch and asked me to bring it to him before I dropped you off." She said.
"He's got work too?"
"Yeah, he wanted to help sissy pay bills." She said. She stopped the car in front of a garage. She places the car in park and gets out with a container in hand.
"I want to help!" Destiny yelled, as Chris opens her door.
"Here, you can hold Rod's lunch." Chris instructed, taking the child out of the car seat. After taking off the safety belt, she makes her way towards the open garage.
"Can I help you?" A man asks with a thick accent. He looked familiar to Chris.
"Yeah, my brother called me to bring his lunch."
"Newbie!" The man yelled.
Sure enough, Rodney walked up to the three. "Thanks Chris," He said.
"No problem, I just went grocery shopping so there is food but I'm leaving money for a pizza." She said.
"Alright, later Chris."
"Bye Roddy." Destiny said,
"Bye Dessi." He said, with a smile.

Rodney's POV (3rd person)
Rodney places his lunch on his station.
"You know Christina?" Jax asks, watching Christina get back into her car,
"Yeah, that's my older sister." Rodney answers, slowly getting back to work.
"Is she single?" Jax asks.
"Last I checked, yes."
"Does she always play hard to get?" He asks.
Rodney finally looks up at his boss, "why? You trying to get with my sister?"
"No reason." Jax said.
"Look, my sister isn't looking for a relationship right now. The way things are going right now with our situation , dating is the last thing on her mind." Rodney explains.
"What situation?"
Rodney shook his head, "Nothing, but I would like to get this car done within the next hour or so, so if you'd excuse me." He said.
