Ava's Pov

After turning 21 a month ago, I finally got my parents to agree on letting me move out of their house and into my own house.

As of today I moved into a gated community. This decision was made by my parents of course, who felt it was a safer option.

No complaints from me though, as long as I get to live in my own house, I could care less where it's located.

To celebrate my first day in my new house, I decided to go for a swim in my new pool.

Just before I could go put on my bikini, my doorbell rang. I answered the door and to see a lady in her mid 40s standing there.

"Hi, I'm Laura and I'm one of your neighbors. I just wanted to welcome you into the neighborhood." She smiles

"Oh thank you, hi my name's Ava by the way." I smile

"Nice to meet you Ava, since you're a new neighbor I think you would want to know a few things about the neighborhood." Laura says

"Yeah, what's the things I should know?" I ask

"Well a big thing is that you are neighbors with the trouble makers of our neighborhood. Their names are Kian and Jc; those two boys do crazy things like throw paint at each other and have people film videos of them all day long. They make so much noise, throw too many parties, and are very disrespectful ." Laura says

"Wow they sound like the worst, thank you for telling me about Kian and Jc, I'll make sure to stay away from them." I smile

"Okay good! Those boys are trouble anyways and I would hate to see you turn into one of them." Laura says

"Alright well it was nice meeting you." I say to Laura

"Oh I forgot to mention , I live two houses down from you. Would you be open to babysit anytime soon for my two kids?" Laura asks

Her question definitely threw me off, she's basically asking a total stranger to babysit her kids.

"Sure. Um, you can come back anytime and give me the times for the babysitting." I say

"Sounds perfect. I'll probably come by next week to give you those times and the money for it." Laura says

I smile at her and close the door as she walks away. After which, I walk upstairs to get back to what I was doing. I put on a yellow bikini and walk back downstairs.

I open the glass door, and walk out to my backyard

I open the glass door, and walk out to my backyard. I put a towel on my lounge chair and lay on top of it. The silence of the outdoors was nice and peaceful. However, my silence was interrupted by someone talking.
