Boy In Love

Chapter 2

I knocked on my neighbor's door, arriving a couple minutes early. After the whole scene at the gas station I just couldn't stay still. My head kept thinking of too many questions. Why was I seeing him now? What could this mean? Does he have the same dreams? What am I suppose to do?

The door opened revealing Henry, the father of the children I'm taking care of. He smiled immediately. "Vik, you're a little early today." he said. I nodded smiling a little. "I had nothing to do so I thought I could come early." I told him.

He opened the door wider stepping to the side. "Well, come in. The kids are in the living room." he told me. I walked in and walked directly to the living room. I saw the twins both wrestling over a toy. I crossed my arms and watched them silently.

"Let go!" Sarah yelled, already on the verge of tears. Jim had a tiny smirk on his face as he pulled back. Sarah narrowed her eyes and lifted her tiny foot and kicked him in face. Jim didn't even make a noise. Jim still held on as Sarah kept pressing her foot on his face.

I sighed and walked over to them snatching the toy out of their tiny hands. They both glared up at me. I sat down and crossed my legs. I looked sternly at them. "What have I told you about fighting each other?" I told them.

Sarah looked at the ground moving her foot in circles. Jim stared at me in silence. "Other than your parents, you guys are the only family you got. I would love to have a sibling. It gets kind of lonely with no one to talk to." I told them. Jim looked at his hands.

I clapped my hands. "Now hug it out." I told them. Sarah looked at Jim, who spread open his arms. She sniffed and hugged him. I smiled and patted them both on the head. I turned around to see Henry and Mary watching us.

"I'm glad to have you as our babysitter Vik. I don't know what we would do without you." Mary said with a grin. I felt my face heat up in embarrassment. "No! I haven't done anything special." I told them. Henry just shook his head.

I stood up and followed them to door. "We'll be back at 10." Henry said over his shoulder. I watched them get into the car and drive off. I closed the door and headed back to the living room. I walked in to see Sarah playing with the toy as Jim watched silently.

I sat on the couch and turned on the t.v but kept it on low. I felt a tug on my pants. I looked down to see Jim. He pointed to the couch. I picked him up and placed him next to me. He curled up against my side.

I smiled and ruffled up his hair. He was being too cute. He fixed his blonde hair back into place and stared silently at the t.v. Sarah walked over to us and cleared her throat. I looked down at her as she crossed her arms. "What is it?" I asked. She looked at the empty spot next to me.

I reached out to her picking her up. I placed her on my side but she crawled into my lap. I chuckled softly. "You guys..." I whispered softly. Sarah looked up at me the looked at the t.v. She laid back against me.

I relaxed against the sofa and was about to close my eyes when my phone went off. I dug in my pocket and pulled out my phone. "Hello?" I asked, not bothering to look at the number. I heard a low chuckle ring in my ears.

My heart sped up like it was about to jump out of my chest. "How's it going?" the guy from earlier said. I felt my body heat up. I quickly moved Sarah off my lap and stood up. I glanced at them to see them looking at me with worried expressions. I smiled and put a finger to my lips.

They nodded and sat closely together on the couch. I turned around and walked into the kitchen. "How did you get this number?" I hissed trying to control how my body reacted. "Ah. I have my ways." he told me.

"I'm hanging up." I told him. I pulled the phone away from my face about to hang up when I heard him say," Wait." I put the phone back to my ear. "What?" I said. I heard him sigh. "I want to talk to you about these dreams I've been having." he told me.
