I hear the phone ring in my lacrosse bag. "Damn, who is it now I'm busy" I complain to myself. I look at the caller ID and I lighten up seeing that it's my favorite Uncle Chris.
"Hey Uncle Chris what's up" I say.
"Nathen! My nephew guess what, I found you a job!" He said obviously very happy.
"Excuse me? But, Uncle Chris what are talking about?" I say.
"Well do you remember Arthur's old coach John Cowden? Well he needs someone to help his daughter Emily babysit her baby brother and sister."
My heart sank and I got butterfly's at the same time. I would see her everyday, Emily, the one I loved the most, but she didn't love me. I thought she did, everyone thought she had a crush on me but she apparently didn't. In our school, everyone was friends, so there weren't a lot of clicks. But everyone knows I was the popular one, I was the guy everyone liked. For some reason Emily trusted me with her biggest secrets. I don't know why I was the biggest flirt whenever my friends were around but when it's just me and her it was...different.
"Um okay" I said.
"Fantastic" said Uncle Chris then gave me the directions to her house. I have to be there at 12:30 so I took a shower and got dressed in a blue shirt with cargo shorts and flip flops.

Her house was small on the outside. Two stories and an extension that looked like a garage that transformed into a room. The lawn was freshly mowed and had a lot of bushes. There was a model sail boat in the front window. I walk up to the front steps and knock on the door.
"Just one second!" I heard her say. And she opened the door looking surprised and happy at the same time wearing a tank top and shorts. She had lots of bracelets on and flips flops. Her hair was in a side braid, nothing different there she started doing that in seventh grade, but there was something different. He studied her some more and he finally noticed, she did her makeup. It's not like I haven't seen her with it before but this time she had eyeliner on.
"What are you doing here? Are you the guest, did my dad send you?" she said looking behind me.
I put on the cockiest grin ever "What sugar aren't you happy to see me?"
She smiled and gave me a hug "Of course I'm happy I've missed you, I haven't seen you since when, Claire's party?" Then she let go of the hug "Sorry I shouldn't of done that I forgot you had a girlfriend" then she stepped aside opening the door more "Come on we were just about to have lunch do you want anything we have turkey, Swiss, American, chicken, and I could make some of my famous grilled cheese" when she hugged me she smelled like pomegranate.
"You could get the turkey and American out I'll make the sandwich. Oh! And if you have mustard that would be perfect." I said while she got the cold cuts out for me and her I notice she took out hot sauce. "What's that for?" I say while I sit on the counter. She stares at me for a second and says "I like chicken with American and mayo topped with hot sauce."
I smirk "So you like hot things?" I say in a joking flirtatious way.
"I love them" she says with a sexy glare and smile. She always knows when I'm joking and when I'm not. "Here make your sandwich while I get the babies" then runs down stairs, to what I assume is the den, and comes back up with a baby boy at her hip and a girl about two or three years old holding her hand. Her brother and sister don't really look like her. Her brother has brownish reddish hair with dark eyes. While her sister is closer to her with dirty blonde curls and brown eyes. Emily is 15 she's matured since I last saw her. She's gotten skinnier but hasn't lost her curves she's taller and looks more in charge. Her hair got longer too, it's dirty blonde with natural bleach blonde highlights (she's told me that she never had highlights put in or dyed her hair) it gets wavy and curly at times. But her eyes are beautiful they change color from blue to gray to a bluish green back to a bluish gray everyday. She never had the same color eyes for more than a 3 days to a week. She put her brother in a high chair and her sister in a seat while she got them food.
"Oh and this is Burt. He's a pit boxer mix but doesn't bite. The most he'd do is scratch you on accident." She said looking at her dog. Then she started to make her lunch and took a book out to read while she ate. I sat next to her and she stopped as if she forgot something.
"Oh yeah. This is Charlotte and my brothers name is Cameron. Char is 2 gonna be 3 in November. and Cameron's going to be 1 on August first."
"Hi" said Charlotte with her mouth full of food "Emmy I want music."
"Okay" she said then looked at me "she's very smart for her age. Believe it or not I was the quiet baby." Then put on some music for Charlotte while she danced. When she got back to her book. We finished our lunch and I went downstairs with the kids while she made the bottles. Then she put on Lilo and Stitch humming to the music while the baby's fell asleep for their nap.
