"LOLA!"

I swim out of the pool and into James's house to see Jenny, Emily, AJ, Bobby, Holly and Trey.

"Hey, guys, what's up?" I ask. I look at Jenny, who has a serious look on her face. "Jenny?"

"Look." I soon notice James standing there, shirtless. I run over to the couch, grab his shirt and throw it at him.

"But, Lol, it's a hot day." James whines.

"Shut up and put the shirt on." I jump onto the couch and turn the TV on. "Now that I'm out of the bloody pool, wanna watch some TV?"

"YES!" The kids yell, as they jump on the couch next to and across from me.

"Kids, we need to get home before your parents arrive." Jenny groans.

The kids groan too. "But, Jenny, can Lola babysit us?"

"Oh, sorry, guys." I apologise. "James and I are too busy today."

...

As I lounge on mine and James's bed, I see James sneak into the room. "Hey, Trouble."

He kisses my cheek and I giggle softly, "Hey, Mischief."

"How could I be mischief when I wasn't the one who was caught selling concert tickets outside the venue?" James smiles, as he lays down next to me.

I chuckle. "Oh, come on, James. You can't keep a grudge about that, can you?"

"Well, it's in the files, sooo..."

"Aw, pleeeeeeease, James?" I suck up to him, hugging him tightly. I'm wearing black short-shorts, a white tee that say, 'Trouble' and black heeled boots.

"Fine." He gives in.

Suddenly, I remember something. "Hey, can I borrow some money?"

"There is literally an ATM on the lawn next door." James says.

I give him puppy eyes and pouty face. James sighs and rolls his eyes as he grabs for his wallet on the bedside table. "I think I got a bit of money."

"A little bit?" I ask, innocently. "Please, James."

"You know what? Take the whole lot." I grab his wallet and leap off the bed. "Come home by seven or I'm calling the cops!" He calls after me.

"You are the cops!" I laugh, as I run down the stairs and outside to my car. "Shopping mall, here I come."
