The Town Plaza

Ian

Kyle takes a bite and I pat the spot beside me for Ella, leaning her against me when she sits.

Ella

He leans me against him and I close my eyes, yawning again.

Ian

I take a deep breath and watch Kyle, brushing crumbs from the front of his shirt.

Ella

I wrap my arms around my stomach and realize I put my shirt on backwards, cursing mentally.

Ian

Kyle finishes and curls up on my lap, leaning against Ella.

Ella

Kyle leans against me and I open one of my eyes, glancing at him before cuddling with Ian's arm.

Ian

I flash a smile at the two and sigh, not sure what to do with myself.

Ella

I smile lightly and glance up at him, speaking in a baby voice, "I tired."

Ian

I smile back and sigh, "Sleep then. I'll watch Ky."

Ella

I shake my head and sigh, "I'm too lazy too."

Ian

I smirk, eyebrow raised, "You're tired... but you're too lazy to sleep?"

Ella

I nod, "And sore..." I close my eyes, "For some unknown reason."

Ian

My eyes widen for a moment and I look away, suppressing the red rushing to my face, "Okay then..."

Ella

I nod and am just about to fall asleep when Halee bursts in, scaring the sh*t out of me. I hit my arm on the coffe table and swear, my torso hitting the arm of the couch as I fall off it.

I just lie there for a moment, blinking, "Um...I'm trying not to cry right now..." I take a deep breath before sitting up, wincing at the soreness combining with the burning in my torso, "What Hales?"

"Hungry," She says, arms crossing.

Ian

I curse mentally and set Kyle on his own, making sure Ella's okay before heading into the kitchen to make her cousin something to eat.
