Life

August 21st-Sunday

They awoke, Trevor was talking. Payton confusedly raised her head up, out of bed and scanned. After seeing no one, she heard him laugh. She stumbled out of bed and to the living room. "Allan!" she said in shock. Trevor's little brother. "Caitlyn!" she said in surprise.

They glanced over, and saw eating a banana, "Payton!" the two exclaimed, a little off sync. Payton quickly smoothed her hair down.

   "Hey guys, do you know where your brother is?" she asked, and looked around. She saw him walk out of the bathroom, freshly dressed and showered, "Never mind." she said.

   Trevor looked at the kids, then to Payton, "I made some pancakes for you. Their on the counter." he said with a gesture. Payton smiled thankfully and ate. She walked into the bathroom. She showered, brushed her teeth, then walked out to meet the gaze of the pup's water bowl. She filled it, and glanced at Trevor who had just finished his task of filling the food bowl.

   Caitlyn inched over, "Are you two going to get a cat? Or a bird?" she asked, twiddling her fingers excitedly. Allan and Caitlyn are fraternal twins, who turned eight in February.

  "Are you two excited?" Allan interrupted, "Christmas is close!" he said, with a wide grin. "Santa Claus!" Caitlyn nodded in agreement. Trevor chuckled, and Payton joined him.

  Payton walked over and switched on Disney, the children raved over it and watched the show. Payton looked at Trevor, "Where's your mom and dad?"

  "They wanted me to babysit, they had some meeting to go to. Thus, here we are. Sorry I didn't give you warning, this morning I woke up to them knocking, and requesting me take them." Trevor chuckled. Payton nodded.

   "Your house looks cool." Caitlyn said, exploring the corners. Allan switched off the T.V and followed. "Thanks," Caitlyn yelled out, "for letting us explore."

  Payton shrugged, "No problem." she said, and sat down in the living room, Trevor sat down as well, "I haven't seen them in awhile."

  "Yeah, they've been really busy. Caitlyn is into soccer, and Allan is doing baseball this year. They get two have some 2016 ceremony tomorrow at school. I'm not going." he said seriously.

   "Why?" Payton asked.

  "They're just getting a gold medal, nothing important." he chuckled.

  Payton nodded, and saw Allan rush out of the hallway. Payton confusedly asked, "What's wrong?" Allan pointed, and Caitlyn held a scary mask to her face. She chuckled.

  Trevor rounded the corner and saw it, he jumped and everyone laughed. "We scared you!" Allan rubbed it in Trevor's face. Trevor grabbed Allan held him to his chest while laughing. Allan struggled while laughing.

  After a few hours, it was twelve, and Jackson and Penny arrived, "Thanks again for watching them." Penny said to Payton while Trevor and Jackson talked.

  Payton smiled, "My pleasure." They drove off, and Payton sat down with Trevor, "In twenty days, we're married..." she said, and smiled.

  After the two talked awhile about it, Trevor began sighing, it was too far away. He wanted it to be closer, "Are you sure we can't bump it sooner?" he asked.

   Payton frowned, "Well, no... My parents want to be here for it..." she explained, "And they will be here for it if we keep it the 10th." Suddenly, her phone rang. Payton answered, "Aloha."

   "Hey sweetie." her father replied, "How are you?" he asked, and a shower running could be heard in the background. 

   "Good, and you?" she asked, "And how's Mom?"
