"Awwww. There was no chocolate ice cream." Blair told me licking her ice cream so it won't melt. She really looks like a dog. "I hate the chocolate flavour. I love vanilla and caramel." I pointed out. 

Sorry to all the chocolate lovers out there but I love vanilla and caramel. "You can't say that chocolate is the best." And that's how we continue to fume all about our ice cream flavour all through the evening. I still had a couple of things to do at work. Yeah, I applied for a job yesterday and I got it. I was to work as a Babysitter for this family and I'll be staying there too. I was ready and waiting outside when a car pulled up at the front pouch. 

The window was rolled down and a woman showed up smiling, showing her white teeth. "Hey, come in." She stated. I walked up to the car and opened the door going in. When I was in, she cap locked the door and rolled up the window. "Umm... I'm Isabella." I prefaced tensely. This was my first time having to the work and I was nervous. I don't know why. I mean it's just talking and playing with kids... Right?

"I'm Rose. I can sense that you're nervous. You don't have to be. She's gonna love you." She cheered. I hope so. We finally pulled out in front of a small porch house after short ride. Very pleasant and confident. I love the view too. I undid my seatbelt and got down from the car. But something stopped me, behind me was a well-known SUV car. I swilled loudly and I'm sure I am sure she heard me. 

"Ah...Xavier, how are you doing?" She asked running up to him and giving him a brief hug. I turned to look away running to the house and avoiding his gaze. "And right there is Isabella." She called my name. I closed my eyes regretfully and turned to look at her...Just her.

"Um...Nice meeting you." I introduced. 

What are you saying it's not nice meeting him. You know that.

"Yeah." He simply replied consuming my body with his gaze. I looked at my feet, hopefully, it distracted me. "Okay, Let's go. We don't have all the day to spend." She said and I followed her behind. 

Once we took a step in, I almost gasped. The inside was bigger than outside. Just like the saying says, don't judge a book by its cover. Everything was glittering, 2 large Tv at the front and just wow! 

"Baby, come downstairs. You need to meet someone." She called placing her handbag on the couch and going into the kitchen...Probably to cook, she lived alone I guess. Just then, Xavier came in but I was too busy liking the place that I didn't take notice of him. I caught him staring at me before removing his gaze. What's up with this guy? Why did I still find him here? Why is that, everwhere I go, he's always there? Why? Why? Why?

I wonder how these 2 met. But that's none of my problems. I just came here to work and get my salary at the end of the month. 

"Will you join us for dinner?" Mrs.Rose asked. "Thanks, ma'am. I will." I said politely. 

"Lovely. Xavier, please show her to her room, please. Thank you." She said hurriedly getting something from the cupboard.  I fiddle with my fingers, why him? "Follow me." He said going away and so I followed like a small cat. 

I followed him but heard a small voice. It was the voice of a girl. Her hair was neatly pat and spread on her shoulders. Small eyes and pink lips. It reminded me of that girl, Audrey...Then it clicked my mind.

She was the one!

"Yes, mommy. I'm here." She said going to hug her mother and peck her cheek. Her eyes diverted to me before smiling. I guess she remembers me, smart kid. "Yes baby, I want you to me-" Her mother said but was cut off by her daughter herself.

"Yes, I know her. Her name is Isabella." She said and I chuckled. She was too smart. "Oh, you too met? How?" She asked her daughter leaning to her small body. "We met at Xavier's house." She said and her mother gasped turning to me.

What is going on here? Is something wrong?

"You were at Xavier's house? That means, you too know or something?" She asked me but her eyes were on Xavier. "Yes, we know. But it's a long story." Xavier said seizing my hands and leading me away. I opened my mouth to talk but was caught off guard because I was pinned to the wall.

"What are you doing here?" He asked me and I circled my eyes. "Is it not obvious? I came here to babysit as a job." I said harshly. His eyes softened before leaving me and unpinning me. "Good, now what are you doing here?" I questioned.

What the hell? Why am I asking him? God, pull yourself together.

"She's my aunt." He answered.

Oh. It makes sense now.

"Okay. Can you please show me my room?" I asked pulling my hair out of my face and clenching hold of my bag. He agreed and motioned me to follow him.

---(---

"Thanks, ma'am for dinner. It was delicious." I said getting up to take the dishes to wash. "I'll get it," Xavier said holding my plates. Okay, this is so weird and confusing. Why is Xavier behaving like this? So...Nice.

"No..Thanks. I will." I said collecting back my plate and removing some of theirs. "No, please. I will." He said collecting my plates. Okay, Is this a game? Because I can beat him.

"Or, you guys can wash the plates together," Audrey said and I stayed. She made sense too. I can borrow her brain cos I needed it.

Don't worry Audrey, I'll give it back...(Smiles creepily)

"She's right," Mrs.Rose said shrugging getting up to carry Audrey. I looked at Xavier and he looked at me. "I guess she's right." We both said it together. What is going on? 

"Jinx!" I exclaimed, together, at the same time. "Stop mimicking me!" I said...No no. We said it together, again. "No, you!" 

We paused then burst at laughing. Gosh, I can die from that smile. So gorgeous. He also had a perfect set of teeth. "Shall we?" He said and I nodded, smiling. "Yes, we shall."
