"Sawyer what do you want me to do?" I ask him while his just sits there and watches me.
"I don't care just do anything." He says.
"Round-off, backhand-spring, black-flip and full?"
"Sure go for it." He says standing up.
I start at one end of the backyard and run to get momentum. I land my tumbling sequence perfectly which makes me really happy.
"Amazing!" Sawyer says walking towards me.
"Thanks, I haven't done that in a while."
"Well you still got to sweetheart." He says coming closer.
"Why thank you." I say.
"It's going to be supper time soon wanna go inside?"
"Sure." I say and before I knew it I was thrown over Sawyer's shoulder and carried into the house.
I reach my bedroom door and walk in to get dressed for supper. I grab a pair of dark wash jeggings, a black and white polka-dot knit sweater and hot pink socks. I pull my hair up in a messy ponytail and secure it with an elastic. I'm just about to walk out of my door when my phone starts vibrating. I'm getting a text.
It reads, "Hey miss you lots! Can't wait to see you again.
Xox ~Kenzie"
"Miss you to girlie! Got to go eat supper with the Richards talk to you later." I reply.
I walk out of my room and knock on Hayden's door.
"Hi girlie, I was wondering if you could show me to the dining room?" I ask her.
"Sure I'd love to." She says hooking arms with me.
We ride the elevator down to the main floor and walk in to the kitchen. The amazing aroma travels my nose as I sit down at the island with Hayden. Mrs. Richards is standing in the kitchen with the Dylan cooking dinner, which looks like homemade chicken soup from here.
"What are we having for dinner mommy?" Hayden asks smiling.
"Homemade chicken soup." Dylan replies for his mother.
"Yummy!"
"Yep, you're right Aiden."
We sit in the kitchen in silence, but not an awkward one a nice peaceful silence. Valerie starts serving up 13 bowls of soup while Dylan calls everyone to dinner. The elevator doors open and 9 boys come piling out of the elevator. Hayden and I took seat at the table next to each other before all the boys came down because Hayden said it is hard to get a good seat if you don't get there early. Nathan was coming to sit next to me when Sawyer bet him to it.
"Hey gorgeous." He greeted me.
"Hey." I say probably blushing.
"What's up?"
"Nothing was just hanging with your little sister until you came."
"Cool." He says ending the conversation.
Everybody eats in silence with a few attempts at conversation that die out quickly.
"So how was your first day Blake?" Valerie asks.
"Awesome! Sawyer and I hung out watched a movie and played 20 questions to get to known each other. And then little miss Hayden here showed me to the kitchen." I say as I see Sawyer smiling.
"That's nice, I'm glad you're fitting in quickly."
"Thank you." I say taking a spoonful of soup and putting it in my mouth.
"Blake?" Valerie asks.
"Yeah?" I reply.
"Can we have a girl talk in my office after supper? I promise you're not in trouble."
"Sure! I would love to have a talk."
Supper ending and Sawyer, Nathan and I stayed back to clean up the kitchen so Valerie didn't have to. We finished the kitchen pretty quickly and I asked Nathan to show me to his mom's office. It was on the second floor first door on the right. I knock on the door and Valerie opens it and motions for me to come in. I walk in her big office and sit in a spiny chair in front if her desk.
"Hi dear, can I talk to you about something? and ask you some questions?" she asks nicely.
"Sure! Go for it." I say smiling a little to much I think.
"You're from Minnesota right?"
"Yep."
"Do you have any 'summer' clothes?"
"No, it's always so cold in Minnesota that nobody where anything but jeans and sweaters."
"Oh, well we are going shopping this weekend to get you some appropriate clothes for Florida!"
"Ok! Can't wait, but one question."
"Yeah?"
"Can Sawyer come?"
"Sure whatever you want sweetie."
"Thanks."
"Ok one more thing."
"Ok what's up?"
"Umm... I think my son likes you likes you."
Those words made my heart skip a beat. If he did like me I think I would have a heart attack! I think I like Sawyer Richards.
