Family Friend

Chapter 19

-1 Month Later-

Throughout this month, nothing changed. I would text Mark, and the others whenever we could, me and Ren would meet up for a while before we went our seperate ways, Kieren fining a job at a nearby cafe while I watched the girls when no one could. In watching the girls, they grew close to me, which I wasn't complaining about at all. For being young, they were nice company.

"Thanks again Marce," Grace said, walking out the door from dropping the girls off. "I owe you one."

"No you don't," I called. "Don't worry about it." Waving to her as she drove off, I shut the door and walked towards the living room where the girls were already playing. "What are you girls up to today?"

"Nothing," Kylie grinned. "Marcey, can we go to the park?"

"Let me see if Ren can come with us, okay?" I questioned. Earning a quick nod, I smiled and walked upstairs to take my phone off my charger and get dressed.

Quickly shooting a text to Kieren, I set my phone down onto my desk, and walked towards my closet. Deciding to take a quick shower, I grabbed my towel off the door, picked my phone up and hurried to the bathroom. Calling down to the girls quickly, I shut the door, leaving it unlocked incase they needed me for anything,

Once I finished my shower, I brushed my teeth, grabbing my glasses off the sink and slipping them on. Skipping majority of my makeup, I simply just put on mascara and simple eyeliner before running towards my room. Shutting my door, I grabbed some undergarments, quickly putting them on, and looked into my closet as I messily towel dried my hair.

"Let's see..." I mumbled, going through my clothes and groaning until I came across a familiar hoodie. Pulling it out, I recognized it from some of GOT7's videos. Tossing the red flash hoodie onto my bed, I picked up some light, cut-off shorts and stepped into them. Quickly putting deoderant on, I slipped on the large hoodie, and stuff my hand into the pocket, only to feel a slip of paper. Curiously, I pulled it out and unfolded it, unconcsiouslly smiling.

Hey baby, as much as I know you love my donut hoodie, I couldn't give that one up just yet. So instead, I'm letting you have this one until you come over here with Ren. We haven't even left but I already know that Jacksons going to be whining about her nonstop. Anyways, once you read this and wear it, send me a text and picture? I need a picture until I see it in reality.
-Mark :*

Rolling my eyes at the handwritten emoticon, I quickly went and retrieved my phone from the bathroom. Seeing a text from Mark already there, I opened it up, and read it before responding and sending him a picture, as requested. Seeing Kierens response, I quickly answered, slipping on my familiar flip flops and walking downstairs.

"What would you girls like to eat at the park?"

"So, that's been in your closet for a little over a month, and you just now found it?" Kieren questioned as we sat on the swings. A bag of food and drinks sat between our swings as we watched the girls run around.

"Yeah," I laughed awkwardly. "I've mostly been watching them, and we tend to stay at the house and play or swim, so I haven't been through my closet."

"What time is it there right now?"

Looking down at my phone, and seeing the time. "Let's see, its almost 10 here, then it's almost 2 a.m. there. They should be sleeping," I sighed. "Well I would hope they were but more than likely not." As if to prove my point, Kieren's phone dinged, and a text from Jackson was on her home screen. "Point proven."

Also hearing my phone go off, I rolled my eyes, quickly seeing a text from Mark wondering why I hadn't checked my email. Confused, I responded, getting an answer immediately which confused me more. Answering him again, I looked up just in time to see Kylie and Leila running towards us.
