"REMEMBER, YOU CAN'T GO OUT, YOU HAVE TO BABYSIT LUCAS." Marcelina told her redhead daughter and she nodded before leaving the house with her husband and closed the door. Olivia let out a deep sigh and looked over at her little brother playing with his toys.
She didn't get it. Why can't Lydia babysit him? She always does. Her parents decided that they give Lydia a rest from babysitting all the time and let Olivia babysit for a week and then going back to the normal routine with Lydia babysitting. It was all so confusing to Olivia.
Her parents made a deal with Olivia to babysit Lucas on Friday's starting next week and they would give her $10 each time and she agreed to do it.
She went to the kitchen and started making herself some Mac and cheese for lunch. She turned on the stove and waited for the water to boil. There was a sudden knock on the door which made her flinch slightly.
She walked over and looked into the small hole and saw Alex. She giggled slightly at his large forehead that was formed through the peep hole.
Alex figured out what she was doing and moved closer to it and made a funny face causing her to laugh and opened the door. He was holding a basket in his hands filled with different flavoured cookies.
"Alex!" She squealed and engulfed him into a tight hug causing him to chuckle and wrap his arms around her waist and kiss her forehead. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, I knew you had to babysit Lucas so I decided to come and see you two. And me and abuelita made cookies for you guys." Alex softly smiled. As Livi was about to let him in, he walked into the apartment himself and placed the cookies on the table.
"Come in I guess." Olivia mumbled sarcastically and went back to the kitchen with Alex following behind. He went to the fridge and grabbed a water bottle before turning on the tv. Alex practically lived in the Jones family and he came to their apartment almost every day but not as much as Livi going to theirs.
After Olivia was done cooking her food, she grabbed a soda from the fridge and sat at the big white couch beside Alex as the two watched Harry Potter for the whole day until they fell asleep on top of each other.

Olivia woke up and looked over and saw that Alex was gone. She sat up and groaned as she rubbed her eyes. She had took Lucas to bed a few hours ago before the two pre-teens slept on the couch. The Harry Potter movie was still playing in the background. She turned it off and looked at the clock on the wall showing 2.39 am.
