THIS IS THE FIRST CHAPTER
"Hello Autumn!" A perky voice spoke from inside. Aubrey let me in and I took off my coat and put warm breath on my hands.
"Hey Aubrey. Where are your parents?" I asked.
"They're already left," she said.
"Oh, well have you eaten yet?" I asked still leaning down to her level. She nodded her head 'yes'.
"Alright well, what do you wanna do cutie?" I asked tapping her nose and she giggled. Her laugh made me smile.
"How about a movie?" She asked.
"That sounds awesome." She grabbed my wrist and tugged me over to the couch. I sat down first and Aubrey sat down right next to me spreading her feet across the couch and resting her head on my lap. I checked the time, 10:00 pm.
"What would you like to watch?" I asked Aubrey. She giggled again.
"What's so funny?" I asked as I tickled her a little bit.
"I love your American voices," Aubrey said between giggles.
"Alright Toy Story 3 it is," I said as I took my hands off of her sides and grabbed the remote. I turned on the movie.
Aubrey's eyelids slowly got heavy during the movie.
"Aubrey, it's okay honey, you don't have to stay awake," I said as I put my hand over her eyes to close them shut.
Aubrey was finally asleep.
I lifted her head up gently and rested it back down on the warm couch cushion. My feet shuffled below my body as I made my way towards the kitchen.
The cold air flashed my face when the refrigerator was opened. I grabbed the nearest water bottle I saw and in screwed the cap and took a huge gulp.
I turned my body to start walking towards the kitchen counter to where my schoolwork was. I picked up my pencil and began to write. The sound of the garage door opening and footsteps enter the house. I furrowed my eyebrows and peered over to the door. I saw a figure putting their coat on the coat rack. I walked up closer.
"Hello?" I asked as I made my way to the closet under the stairs and got a baseball bat and walked back over to the kitchen. He jumped and I laughed then gave him the 'shhhhh' sign with my finger against my lips. His blue eyes stared into my brown ones. He smiled so hard trying not to laugh. I grabbed his wrist and we ran upstairs into a bedroom.
"Sorry about that," I said as I closed the door.
"Hi," he said staring into my eyes as soon as I turned around to face him and leaned the bat against the wall.
"Hello," I replied.
"I-I'm Niall," he said holding out his hand.
"I'm Autumn," I shook his hand softly.
"Why are you here exactly?" He asked me.
"Aubrey's parents are out of town for two weeks and I'm Aubrey's babysitter." I confirmed.
He kept smiling, never did his lips not come down from the curves on his face. "Why are YOU here?" I asked Niall.
"Aubrey's parents, Julia and George, are my Aunt and Uncle and I was coming here for a surprise visit." He popped his lips afterwards.
"We'll obviously that didn't work out too well." I joked and he laughed even though it wasn't that funny.
"Niall, Niall, Niall Horan? Isn't that right?" I asked confirming my question.
