-Lewis and Turpster -

-The Baby Sitter-

-Lewis' POV-

I groan as cries erupt from the other room.

Not again.

I get up from my seat and head into the other room.

I pick up Rachael and cradle her in my arms. I hum a soft tune as she starts to settle down.

After a few seconds she's already back to sleep, I scoff, "is that all you wanted? A cuddle from me?"

I smile to myself. There's a knock on the door as I carefully put her back into her crib.

I hurry to the door. I check myself in the mirror before opening the door. There stands a young man with a beard and moustache.

"You're the baby sitter?" I ask, surprised.

He laughs and nods, "why are you so surprised?"

"I'm not, I mean I am, you're just, attractive." I say smiling.

The guy grins, "thank you but I'm nothing special, just a baby sitter."

"What's your name?" I ask.

"Call me Mark." Mark says holding out a hand.

I take his hand, "Lewis."

He smiles, "So where is she!"

His face is filled with excitement.

He's like a child himself.

"She's in her room at the moment sleeping. But I can tell she'll be up soon so just make sure she's okay and yeah. Thank you." I say rambling a little.

Mark chuckles, "It's okay, I know what I'm doing, she'll be okay. I promise."

I need to get to know you. 1 on 1.

I let out a sigh of relief that I had been unsuspectedly holding in, "Thank you. It means a lot."

I check my watch quickly, "It's about time for me to leave so I'll be back around 10pm, if that's okay?"

Times over, shit. Later it is then.

"Yes, that's perfect! See you then!" He says smiling.

"Feel free to make yourself at home!" I add before I grab my coat and rush out of the door.

I open the front door and hang up my coat. I quietly shut the door and head into the living room. Mark's sat on the sofa speaking with some of his friends on his laptop. He chuckles at something before responding to his friends, "I'm actually happy I'm doing this. I mean she's adorable and so is he. I mean man, he's hot."

There's a few seconds before he speaks again, "Cut it out with my gay shit? Man! You cut it out with your straight shit! God, stop being so straight!"

I stand in the door way and cough loudly. It almost instantly grabs Mark's attention. He pulls off his headphones. I lift an eyebrow at him. He turns to his laptop, "guys I have to go, talk later yeah."

He ends the call with his friends and closes his laptop. I take a seat beside him on the sofa.

"Is she asleep?" I ask.

He nods. It then falls silent between us.

He then frowns, "How much of that did you hear?"

I laugh and run my hand through my hair, "Enough to know that you're gay and you think I'm attractive."

He grins a little before pulling a serious face, "It's the truth, I was being honest."

I could see so clearly how hard he was trying to impress me. His shoulders were pulled back and his arms weren't crossed.

"Is it now?" I ask, leaning my elbows on  my knees.

His eyes flicker a moment before getting back into character, he smirks, "Yes, it is."

I lean back again and dangle my arm off the back of the sofa. I face him and stare at him, "You know, you don't have to try so hard to impress me with this 'serious' act of yours."

His eyes widen, "Seriously?"

"Yeah, I'll make it easier for you, yeah?" I ask.

He nods watching what I do.

I hold out my hand, "Can I have your phone?"

He pulls out his phone and places it in my hand. I pull up contacts and tap my number in and label it, 'The Hot Dad'.

I hand him back his phone, "Call me some time."

He reads my name and grins. He gets up, "Of course! I will, I can certainly promise you that!"

I laugh. He collects his things. I walk to the door with him. He stands outside the door.

"Thanks for everything." I say.

He grins, "It's my pleasure really, I'll call you some time. We can, get to know each other."

There was a hint of mischief in his eyes at the end of his sentence but it soon fades.

I smirk, "I like the sound of that, till then. See you later and get home safe."

"Bye!" He calls walking away.

I shut the door and sigh.

Maybe, he's actually capable of being the one. Who am I kidding? We'll see.
