Babysitting Skylynn Grier

Chapter Six

*Nash's POV*

I wake up to the sound of the shower water running. Izzy's moved to the other side of the couch quietly, her breathing slow and steady.

I guess that I've been watching Izzy peacefully sleep for awhile because the shower water was turned off and someone was humming one of Shawn's songs. I chuckle a little bit listening to them. The bathroom door soon opens, as well as the double doors to reveal Sarah wearing the outfit she was wearing when I first met her.

"Heading somewhere?" I ask, getting up to walk towards her. She nods her head with a small smile while putting her damp hair up in a bun. "Where to?"

"The market place that's just down the street." She replies with excitement. "The fruit there is amazing." I smile widely and hug her.

"I'm sure it is. May I come with?" I ask, kissing the top of her head lightly.

"We'd have to bring Izzy. I don't want to leave her alone." We both look over at the small silhouette of the little girl. "Ugh, but she looks so peaceful." She sighs and her shoulders slump over.

"We can bring her. Mention food and she'll wake up like that." I snapped my fingers.

"What food?" Izzy asks while yawning and we burst out laughing. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing, sweetie. Do you want to come to the market place with us? I'm sure that there will be an ice cream stand somewhere." And with that, Izzy got up and walked over, slightly stumbling. "Don't get up so fast, you're going to get light headed." Sarah grins happily.

"I probably look like a little monster." Izzy looks up at me and walks over to me and hugs my leg.

"Nah. You're not a monster silly." I laugh and pat her head.

"Want me to fix your hair?" Sarah bends down to Izzy's eye level and tucks her hair behind her ear.

"Yes please." Izzy lets go of me and quickly jumps into Sarah's open arms. They walk into my rooms bathroom and start laughing.

Sarah brings her car around out front to the front of the hotel where Izzy and I have been waiting. Izzy runs to the car and I shake my head.

"Izzy, don't run out like that. Look both ways okay?" I tell her sternly and regret it once seeing her face fall. "I'm sorry Izzy, I just don't want you to get hurt. I don't want to lose such a beautiful young girl like yourself okay?" Her face soon was radiating with her smile again. "Alright, let's get in shall we?" I bow down and she laughs. I open the back car door and help her in. To my surprise there was a car seat that Izzy easily strapped herself into. I close the door and get into the passengers side looking at Sarah confused. She pulls out of the parking lot and heads down the street with a smile. She suddenly laughs looking towards me.

"The car seat?" She asks as if reading my mind.

"Um, yeah." I reply awkwardly.

"I babysit. Just once in a while though. The parents never bothered to get a car seat so I had to buy one. I haven't babysat in a long time and I was about to throw it out. I'm glad I didn't." She smiles, readjusting the rearview mirror.

"I never knew that." Izzy laughs from the back seat and I turn around and stick my tongue out. "I'm glad you didn't throw it out. Otherwise I would've been stuck in the back seat with her."

"Hey! That's mean." Izzy crosses her arms trying not to smile.

"Nash, stop being mean to her." Sarah hits me lightly. "Alright we're here. Be nice to each other." She waves her finger at me and gets out closing the door behind her. I get out shaking my head with a smile.
