I knock on graysons door

A few minutes later the door opens and I see him

" hey Nia " he said with a little smile

" hey Grayson " i replied back

He opened the door wider allowing me to come in

I walk in and admire his house

It was so big

" welcome to my house" he said with enthusiasm in his voice making me giggle quietly

he started showing me around the house since I would technically be living in it for a few hours while he was gone

" and finally my daughters room " he said as he slowly opened the door

I looked inside to see a cute child sitting down on her carpet playing with her toys

" hello princess " Grayson said with a smile walking up to her and picking her up , giving her a kiss on the cheek making her smile

" this is Nia , your babysitting . She's gonna take care of you while dadda's not at home " he explained to her

She bit on her fingers a little getting shy

" don't be shy baby , you can say hello she's very kind " he said with a smile encouraging her to say hello

" hello " she said shyly then hid her head in graysons neck

" hello ...." I said confused looking at Grayson

" aaliyah " he said

" hello aaliyah" I said gently walking up to her while she was still in graysons arms

She slowly lifted her head away from graysons neck and placed her hand on my cheek

I was confused and Grayson noticed

" that's how she communicates " he explained

I nodded and placed my hand on top of hers which still rested on my cheek

" you're so beautiful " I said with a smile

" tank you " she said shyly , her baby language was adorable

" well I'm gonna start to head off to work . Baby be good and behaved okay ? " he said giving her a kiss on the cheek

" otay daddy " she said pecking his lips

He placed her down on the carpet as she continued playing with her toys

" I'll see you soon Nia " he said giving me a tiny hug

Isn't it too soon for a hug? Oh well

I hug back

"See you " I reply

With that he was gone

Now time for the babysitting

I walked up to aaliyah and sat down next to her

" how old are you " I asked her gently

" thwee " she said looking at me

I examined her , she looked exactly like Grayson

Hazel eyes , brown hair , plumb lips , her eyebrows , her smile even her nose . She was beautiful

" do you want to play a game " I asked her

She nodded

" hide and seek? " I asked a smile growing on my face

" yeah " she said with excitement clapping her hands making my heart warm , she was so cuteeeee

We both got up and I held her hand bending down towards her level

" you hide and I count okay " I said

" otay " she said with a smile running off to her hiding place

" 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20 ready or not here I come " I shouted

I started looking for her , making sure to quietly tip toe so she wouldn't hear me

I started walking towards the couch to see a piece of her clothing on the side , she was hiding behind the couch

" hmmmmm where could she be " I said playfully acting like I didn't find her

I heard little cute giggles coming from behind the couch

I made my way there

" boo I found youuuu" I said laughing

She started giggling making me smile

I went to tickle her making her laugh even more

We continued playing more rounds of hide and seek until she was tired

" nia I tired" she said yawning

" okay princess let's put you to sleep " I said picking her up and walking to her room gently placing her on her bed

" could you sing me a song , dadda always sing me song " she said with a tired voice

" sure thing " I said getting into bed with her and pulling her close to me , she laid her head on my chest

I ran my hands through her hair as I started to sing gently , I've always loved singing it was a hobby of mine

Lulla-lulla-lullaby
Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Papa's going to buy you a mocking bird.
And if that mocking bird don't sing,
Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring is brass,
Papa's going to buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's going to buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat don't pull,
Papa's going to you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Papa's going to buy a dog called Rover.
And if that dog called Rover don't bark,
Papa's going to buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart turn round,
You'll still be the sweetest little babe in town.

With that she fell asleep , her cute snores made my heart melt

I've always thought of having a child of my own when I'm ready , I love little children

I gently kiss Aaliyah's head and exit her room making sure to cover her before I left , I close the door and turn around to be met with Grayson

" hey " he said softly

" hey " I said smiling

" is she sleeping " he asked

" yeah , she's very adorable . I had fun today " I said smiling at the memories

" I'm sure she did too . Here's your money " he said getting the money out of his pocket and handing it to me

" thank you " I said

" no problem , I'm happy I have you as her babysitter . I'll see you soon " he said smiling at me one more time before walking into his room

" see you " I said loud enough for him to hear
