"I know mom! I know!" I called closing the door as she called over at me to use the garage door instead. She didn't fix the front door, apparently it's my job to do.

Last night I called my best friends Amanda and Nichole spilling all the gossip, Amanda lost her shit when she found out I was babysitting Masons brother and Nichole freaked out when I said hot men.

Heading to my car, I pulled open the door and got in, I was going to leave an hour early but then the cat was vomiting everywhere.

I think the salmonella of the gecko is getting to her. Poor Cheshire.

Pulling out, I drove off to my first day of work. God this is going to be good, yes!

Reaching the house, I pulled up and got out tossing my keys to the guy and heading inside and smiling because I was ten minutes early.

Alison walked down the stairs staring down at me "Lovely, you're on time. I'll be leaving now, there's a list on the counter in the kitchen. It will tell you what he eats and when he eats it, it also has his scheduled play time, piano lesson, nap time and anything he can't have. Peanut butter gives him diarrhea." She said as she walked out the door shutting it.

Okay.

Where's the kitchen? Where's anything?

I looked confused toward the two halls, two paths.

Damn this is going to be a long summer with these rich people.

Sighing, I bit my lip "Lucas!" I called cringing at my own voice and hoping I didn't disturb anyone. Last thing I need is getting shit for being annoying.

The sound of little foot steps running over the wood flooring told me Lucas was upstairs.

Hanging my coat and purse on the hook by the door, I headed up the stairs to see the seven doors, all double. Fucking rich people.

Listening carefully, I heard the footsteps and it followed with a "Find me if you can!" Then a laughter.

God if I could have a kid...

Smiling, I headed quietly down the hall. "What did you say?" I asked tricking him into talking again.

His laugh came out loud "I said, Find me if you cannn!" He shouted sounding thrilled and nervous.

I made my way to the door where his voice came from and turned the knob poking my head inside.

"Hmm...I wonder where Lucas could possibly be." I said softly as I walked into the room which looked more like a book room.

Going to the desk, I ducked down searching under it "Gee he's a great hider this kid." I said standing and turning. My scream came out and I held my chest as I looked to the door.

A butler stood smiling kindly, "I am sorry to frighten you, Lucas's breakfast is down in the kitchen." He stated.

Lucas came running out from under a chair and hurried down the stairs. I smiled and passed by the butler hurrying after Lucas. Following the sound of chucky feet, I made it to the windowed double doors of the kitchen smiling at Lucas.

He gave me a sly grin "You're fast, but I'm faster." He said nodding.

I smirked "You could never beat me, I'm a champion at running." I said sitting across from him at the table.

Lucas ate his fork of eggs "I bet I could, my mom says I'm the best at everything." He said with a cocky attitude. Oh my this kids going to grow up a very rude awakening.

"Alright, well how about during playtime you and I race? If you win I'll bring you one of my metals tomorrow." I said thinking of my tub of metals. After doing track in middle and high school I've got too many trophies and metals just stacked in my closet.
