THE BABYSITTER | Mileven.

Their six and seven-year-old selves of course never really saw anything after that.
"We're...buddies."

His smile only broadened as Terry entered the room again, her heels hitting the marble ground.

the mother and daughter had occupied an astonishingly beautiful house at the end of a cul-de-sac, comprising of high ceilings and wide rooms, clean walls and shiny surfaces. Mike couldn't wait to spend the next three months living in this house, living in it with a someone he was indeed familiar with.

Although, Mike and El shared a small age gap only of 2 years El being sixteen and mike turning eighteen later on during the year for the foreseeable future they'd get along just fine, like the good old days.

...

As el entered the neighbourhood her legs moved quicker as she biked faster excited to see her mother.

Approaching the cul de sac she jumped off of her bike looking towards her house. She couldn't help but momentarily pause when she saw an unfamiliar car parked next to the one she knew as her mother's.

Phased by her new discovery, she dropped her bike on the grass and opened the front door to see a suitcase. The only thing is this was the big suitcase she and her mother had shared for their three week vacation to Dubai, bare in mind that was a three week vacation for two people.

Entering the kitchen she saw her mother leaning against the kitchen island and none other than Micheal wheeler next to her. She caught his eye and she could've sworn they literally lit up.

"El..."
Terry said letting a  shaky breath leave her lips as she racked her brain for appropriate words, especially in front of their so-called guest.
"I...i have to take another trip. But, it's long, much longer than any other."

Terry took a deep breath after releasing her sentence. She figured it'd be best to get it out of the way, el had always been quick at jumping to conclusions.

"I thought that was the last one for the rest of the year?"
El spoke calmly. She wasn't surprised by her mother's actions and her sudden change of plans, it was de ja vu. It had always been that feeling. Her stomach churned as she urged her body to hold herself. To hold herself from falling into a dark, deep hole.

Her mother appearing in front of her to brush her hair away from her face. They both shared similar features, those honey-brown eyes that glowed in the sun and the luxurious soft brown hair that was so tempting to touch and let's not forget their little button noses.
"I'm sorry baby, I love you I do this for you."

She tried to smile a somewhat reassuring smile. But, no matter how many times this had happened she had always been scared of what to expect from her teenage daughter.
"It's...it's ok mom I love you too."
She spoke her words for what was best and not from her heart. She had been disappointed too many times to even try.

"That's my girl."
Terry smiled pulling her cheek softly before walking towards the front door.

"How long ?"
El couldn't help but ask, there must've been a reason for her childhood crush to just casually of been sitting at their kitchen island.

"Three months...darling, mike will be staying with you as a supervisor this area is becoming more dangerous by the second I don't want anything to happen to you. So, from today until I return think of mike as your guardian, you listen to what he tells you to do and do what he asks of ok ? There's food you can cook and I've also left $250 for any essential items if needed I can send more."
Reappearing from the cupboard she questioned El.
"Ok?"

El looked between her mother and mike only receiving a small smile from mike.

She was not about to be told what to do by this smug son of a bit-
"Ok ?"

Her mother asked more demandingly waiting for a reply.
"Um. yea I can do that."

"Great baby, I love you."
Terry walked over kissing her daughter on the forehead and giving her a tight meaningful squeeze before mike stood up and she also hugged him.

"Stay safe you two, I love you."
Terry peered through the glass door to see her scheduled Uber awaiting her.

"Bye !"
She yelled from the door quickly pulling along her luggage.
The front door shut with a slight bang distracting el.

She turned around and looked at mike.
"Hey"

Mike smiled his signature feature doing its best obviously, to impress her. He stood up from where he had sat back down and opened his arms out for his childhood friend.

El rolled her eyes but it wasn't long between their lumps tangled like a puzzle piece waiting to be assembled. Of course, she returned the gesture and hugged him back, they shared a loving embrace.
"Hi."

Silence overtook the two before mike said.
"I've missed you."

"Me too."

...
