I pulled sweatpants on and was pulling on a sweatshirt when I saw Milo in his backyard. I watched him play with his dog for a while and then a little boy ran out side to Milo's side. He picked up the little boy and swung him around in the air. I smiled at them and pulled my eyes away from the window. I caught a glance of myself from the mirror in the corner of my room and shook my head. I'm gonna look nice. I'm gonna catch his attention. I rushed in the bathroom and applied makeup as Jamie was banging on the door.
"Hurry up!" He whined as I was putting on my lip gloss.
"I'm done, I'm done." I rushed out of the bathroom in my bra and a towel wrapped around my waist. Jamie covered his eyes and screeched.
"Denni! My eyes!!!" He ran into the bathroom and locked the door. I checked the clock. 7:40am. I've got an hour. I ran my fingers through my hair and braided it loosely. I pulled jeans on and a crop top. It had tweety bird on it. I pulled a few strains of my hair to frame my face and grabbed my backpack. I trotted down the stairs and put a waffle in the toaster.
"Jamie!" I yelled from the bottom of the stairs. "Get downstairs and eat!" I saw Milo leave the garage from the kitchen window. "I'm going outside! Eat the waffle in the toaster!!" I half yelled. I headed outside.
"Milo!!" I called when I got to the front yard. He looked over and had the small brown haired toddler in his arms. He smiled at me.
"Hey, Denver." He smiled and made the kid wave at me. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around my waist. "This is my brother, Oliver, we call him Oli." I waved to the kid and he babbled to Milo.
"Hi Oli, I didn't see you at school yesterday." I mentioned to Milo. He looked at Oli and nodded.
"Yea, spent most of the day in the office getting enrolled." He looked me up and done and smiled. "You look nice." I blushed and looked down quickly.
"I- um... thanks..." I giggled nervously and switched Oli to the other hip.
"Of course. So, I gotta get this little squirt to daycare. See you at school." He winked at me and turned around.
"Milo!" He turned around at me again. "You look nice too." I turned on my heel and bolted into the house. Jamie was munching on my waffle and looked startled when I slammed the front door. "Get in the car Jamie." I replied to his wide eyes and raised eyebrows. "Just get in the car." I repeated with a small smile.
