Chapter 4
"Mommy, can we have Ice cream?" We had just finished dinner, and I was cleaning up while she was colouring at the coffee table.
"I think that's a perfect Idea, but first you need to cleaned up. You have sauce all over your face baby girl" I smiled as she tried to lick it, then took of towards the washroom.
I put away the last of the dishes, and reaching for the ice cream. I guess Kyla decided to eat it on me, so I grabbed my keys.
"Ry we will have to go to get ice cream, is that okay?"
"Ya! I call shot gun!" I laughed, she was way to young still to be riding in the front. She heard Kyla say that, now that's what she says when we go for a ride.
Once in the car I put our playlist on, and took off toward the ice cream shop. I always sang when Ry was just a baby, and ever since she could she would sing along with me.
"Sing mommy!" I smiled as I looked back at her and she was bobbing her head.
Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns, doesn't mean you're gonna die
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try
We pulled into the parking lot, making sure we sing the rest of the song. Pink was one of my favourite artist, and one of few artists I will let Ry listen to. I really like making sure she has strong role models in her life. I never want her listening to some of the shit that is out there these days, including mine.
"Ready baby girl?" I let he climb out of the car, and grabbed her hand as we went inside. I didn't have to ask what kind she wanted. She has wanted the same kind since she was one years old. Mint Chip.
"Can I get Mint chimp?" I smiled, see told you.
"Of course" I ordered our cones, and then walked over to the table Ry picked out.
"Thanks mommy"
"Anything for you darling"
"Mommy, I'm glad your home."
"Me to"
"How long are you staying?"
"How long would you like me to?" I knew the answer, and every time it hurt.
"Forever" I thought about it, and the real question was why haven't I stayed.
"Maybe this time I will, maybe its time to retire" She looked up with those big blue eyes, that could melt anyone's heart.
"Really?"
"Ya, I think I should give up the guitar and spend my time eating ice cream with you" she smiled, she would love that.
"T hats sounds perfect mommy" We continued talking while licking our ice cream cones, she had many questions as usual. Of course I answered every single one, even if It killed me to answer.
After we were done, we headed back to the car. I stopped before getting in the car, because my eyes were now on two girls kissing. The one girl looked over, it was Spencer. Her expression went from happy, to sad. I quickly got into the car, and drove home. I turned the music up , that way Ry would fall asleep and wouldn't see me try not to cry.
