Babysitting Skylynn Grier

Chapter Five

Izzy just fell asleep on the couch in between the arm of the couch and myself.

"She looks just like you." Cameron comments from across me.

"She really does. It's cute." Hayes agrees from the other side of Nash who is sitting to my right. I look down at Izzy and pull the blanket that she had wrapped around herself up to her chin. I sigh quietly and admire how she can just fall asleep and forget the world around her and not have to worry about anything.

"Oh my god, I forgot there's a pool here. What're we doing here?!" Shawn jumps up startling everyone and catching our attention. The boys look at each other and as if they all began to think the same thing, they dash from where they're sitting and go to their rooms. Some run out the door sprinting down the hallway to another door which they enter.

All of the boys were dressed in swim trunks and have a towels and a pair of swim goggles in a matter of minutes. My jaw drops at what could be a world record of a group of people to get ready. They grab their key cards and double check to see if they have everything.

"Bye Sarah!" Cameron shouts and I glare at him covering Izzy's ears. "Whoops. Sorry." He whispers loudly with a cocky smile on his face. Carter swats him out of nowhere and tells him to be quiet.

"Sh, go away. Izzy's sleeping." Shawn pushes everyone out and I smile. "See ya' later Sarah."

"Bye Shawn. Thank you." I reply quietly and he nods and flashes me a smile before closing the door. I take a deep breath and lean back on the soft couch and let it out dramatically.

"Are we really that bad?" Nash asks from beside me and I flinch. "I'm not leaving you Sarah. I'm always here." He chuckling a bit at the end. I guess I hadn't noticed that he laid down on the couch with all the hustling that was in the room.

"Don't scare me like that Nash." I stick my bottom lip out and he sticks his tongue out, crossing his arms like a kid. "I'm bored..." He laughs, uncrossing his arms to put his hands behind his head. I get up carefully so I don't wake up Izzy and sit on the ground next to Nash's head. I place my head on the side of the couch and he smiles, tilting his head towards me. I reach my left hand up and run my fingers through his messy hair. Nash closes his eyes and sighs before opening them again. "Are you okay?" I ask quietly and he nods his head.

"Just tired. And I need to take a shower." I pull my hand back and wipe my hand on his shirt. "What?"

"Ewww. Nash, go take a shower!" I whisper harshly and he gets up sluggishly and I push him with my foot moving him along. He gets to the double doors opening one and before he closes it and sticks his tongue out. "Go take a shower already!"

"Why? Am I too nashty?" He laughs at his own pun and I can't help but giggle at him.

"Sarah? Sarah? Sarahhhhhh." I feel a finger poke my cheek each time my name is called.

"Sarah!" I swat the finger away and smile.

"Yes Izzy?" She giggles and sits on my lap.

"Hi." I open my eyes and roll them. "Sarah?" I groan and pull her into a hug squeezing her tightly.

"Yes, Izzy?" I laugh as she hugs me back.

"Do you like Nash?" Her question surprises me and gives me small butterflies. "You can tell me Sarah." She concludes with a smile.

"I don't know Izzy. Should I?" I blew in her face and she scrunches it up.

"I dunno... That's a good question..." It's so amazing how such a young girl can have so many questions and have a huge range of knowledge, but doesn't even know what's really out there.
