Page 13 of Rage’s Rose

Peyton: EW! That’s my brother you nasty people!

Parker: I am going to go burn my eyes out.

Liza: Um, he just so happens to still be lying in bed with me right now. I kept him up late. I am letting him get some sleep. But I think that is over. I’m going to go and wake him up.

Me: Yay! Peyton I can’t wait to see you! Liza, you go girl. You give your man something to wake up for!

Nora: Can’t wait to see you!

Bella: Wohooo! My girl is coming home!!

I chuckle when both Peyton and Parker refuse to message back after Liza basically said she will be waking up their brother with a morning blowie. I know that he came over to her house last night so I’m surprised the boys haven’t woken them up yet. Going to the next chain that is blowing up and I can’t believe these girls are having ridiculous conversations this early in the morning.

Abby: Bitches! I am going to Richmond for Christmas. Daidí Callahan is taking me. I got permission to extend the invitation because you know he loves me. So who is coming with me to annoy our sweet hoe Rose.

I groan when I read that message from Abby, I hate that she has learned any Irish from my family over the years. It makes me squirm when she thinks it's okay to call my dad daddy in gaeilge . I try not to think about it before I go back to the group text.

Sutton: Oh! Me! I want to come! I miss her and I was really bummed she’s missing all the holidays here this year! Texas isn’t the same without our little Irish Rose.

Bailey: I’m all for it. I could use a nice distraction. Do you think you could hook me up with a biker of my own Rose?

Abby: SHHHHH! Don’t say anything about Rose’s biker. Her daddy doesn’t know yet. Does he Rose?

Harper: I’m in. I need a break. Pre-law is exhausting. Plus the guys here are all the same. Cowboys are great and all, but again bikers.

Bailey: What do you mean she hasn’t told her daddy yet? Is she wanting her biker boy to get shot?

Abby: Oh please, she will probably keep the biker boy away from us while we are there. Even though, since I am your oldest friend Rose, I demand that I meet him and any of his beautiful friends while I am there. I might need a little good lovin’ when I’m there. Tell me how is the sex? Is it as wild as I imagine? Please give me more details. I hate that you try to be so sweet and not kiss and tell. Where was this when you were dating all those other slim dick boys before him.

Harper: Speaking of slim dicks, have you run into Travis anymore since you saw him at that club?

Rory: okay, so obviously I am out of the loop and so fucking sad I cannot go with you guys to Richmond. I demand a call and details while you are there.

Brielle: Do you think she is still sleeping? I feel like I’ve been waiting for her to reply and have been highly disappointed I have not seen anything. Also, I plan to come as well. Sign me up. Bikers yum.

Emma: I’m going to have to pass ladies. Sorry. My mama and daddy want me home for Christmas this year.

I decide that avoiding this conversation altogether sounds like a solid plan to me. I put my phone down and head into the shower to clean up after my morning activities with Rage. After my shower I know I should eat and maybe head to the library and do some studying.

As I am walking out the door my phone starts ringing and I look down and smile.

“ Dia duit, a dhaidí” I answer the phone telling my dad, hey daddy in Irish.

“Hello my little flower, how are you?”

“Well I woke up with a huge amount of text messages from apparently the crazies you are bringing along for Christmas.” I hear my dad laugh on the other end of the phone, “Where are all these people going to be staying dad? My apartment isn’t exactly built for an army. I mean I’m assuming mom is coming with you, as well as the whole slew of siblings and grandchildren.”

“Well baby girl, you know that I am not short on money. So I am obviously going to be putting everyone up in a nice hotel. I know you miss them. I wanted to make sure we all got to see you since you won’t be coming into town for the holidays. We all miss you. I’m getting a suite downtown for myself and the family. Your friends are going to be in another one. Abby told me that not all of them agreed to come. I know everyone has holiday plans, but I have a nice surprise for you and I wanted to brag about it.”

That just makes me really suspicious.

“Please tell me you didn’t buy me some huge extravagant house or something. You know I want to design everything myself.”

“I would never buy you a house, I know you want your house to be on land with the business you have in mind. I would not take that away from you. Plus Sutton would kill me if I bought something and she couldn’t be a part of designing it with you.”

I laughed at that.

“Fine, I am very excited to see you all.”
