Time 4:00 pm

I was so anxious today that I didn't notice anything and the day was a blur. All I realised was the constant paper being thrown my way.

After school had ended I walked to the residence of the ladies kids I was babysitting. She was right you couldn't miss her house as it was a three storey white house with lots of windows and decks. It looked like a palace. As I walked up to the house I felt nervous and worry that the lady wouldn't like me. I was mistaken however when I knocked on the door and a skinny lady with black hair, green eyes and light dusting of freckles over her cheeks and nose. She was stunning yet somehow looked familiar.

"Good afternoon miss I'm William the babysitter."

"Hello yes these are my two sons henry and George." I look behind her and see two boys that look alike maybe they are twins.

"Are they twins?"

"No they are two years apart. Henry is older while George is younger. I have another son but he's out with friends and may not be back tonight. If you want you can order pizza or you can cook dinner. I'll be back around eight. I expect them showered and have homework done by the time I come home."

"Okay, I'll do that for you. What do you and the kids like to eat?"

"We like anything that has been homemade and is healthy."

"Okay will do." As she left I asked the kids if they needed help on their homework but they said they would call if they needed any help. With that said and done I looked in the fridge to see what I had to work with in the food department.

I decided on cooking a chicken roast with mashed potatoes, honey carrots and broccoli.

Time skip 2 hours

I called out to the kids that dinner was ready and they came bolting down the stairs and sat down at the table. I put down their plates and they dug in. While they ate they were giving me a look and asked if I was going to have any to which I replied I wasn't hungry.

After dinner they asked me for help on their music homework. When I replied I would they led me to a room on the second floor which had a baby grand piano and a recording booth and a lot of other instruments. I looked at them in awe and got weird looks from the kids.

"What are you staring at?" Henry asked me as I looked flabbergasted at all the instruments.

"You guys have a lot of instruments you know that right"

"Really haven't noticed."

"Hey Henry, George do you guys know how to play any of these?"

"No but we are learning to play the piano."

"I could teach you if you want, I play a little myself."

"Can you please play for us?"

"Okay I will."

For the rest of the night I played the piano for them and they looked like they were listening to a prodigy play or a musical genius. When their mum got home I gave her, her dinner and she thanked me. After she was done eating we went back to the music room and I played for her because she said she had heard me play a little before she made her presence known.

She was astounded at my level of 'talent' as she put it and I guess I passed out after that because the next thing I know I am enveloped in warmth.
