Hot Neighbor Kisses

Chapter 1

"SKYLAR"

I criticized my sister Alina for this, As far as I'm concerned this weekend is going to be a nightmare. Alina, being who she is, has asked me to help babysit her nine month old baby.

Me, Skylar, Babysit, No way
I know nothing about babies

"Alina, I don't think I can help you with this" I balked when my sis called. What did I know about babies, all I know about is being a twenty five year old business executive. The answer was simple_Nothing.

"I'm desperate" My sis said
She must have been, Everyone knew what I was like around babies not only my sis baby but infants in general. I just wasn't the motherly type. Interest rates, negotiations, staff motivation, these are my strong points. Not formula, teething and diapers.

Alina and I was polar opposite, She bakes her own cake, cooks, a motherly woman. While Me, on the other side wasn't the least bit domestic and have no intention of cultivating the trait. I love my work and am too busy with my career to let such lifestyle disturb me. I'm currently a director in charge of marketing for J&H Lima, the nation's largest sporting goods company.

"You know I wouldn't ask you if it wasn't an emergency" Alina pleaded. I had totally forgot I was still on phone.

I felt myself weakening, Alina was, after all my younger sister, I always go soft for her. "Surely, there's got to be someone qualified for this"

Alina hesitated, then tearfully blurted, " I don't know what I'll do if you won't take Alyssa" she began to sob pitifully. "Jungkook left me"

"What?, I don't believe it" I do know my brother in law was madly in love with my sister, even if they got marry early because Alina got pregnant, I know he won't leave her.

"It's true," Alina wailed, " He....he claims that I give Alyssa all my attention and ignored him and that I never have enough energy left to be a decent wife." She paused to draw in a quavery breath. "I know he's right.....but being a good mother demands so much time and effort"

"I thought Jungkook wanted five children"
"He does.....or did." Alina sobbing began again.
"Oh, Alina, it can't be that bad," I had murmured in a soothing voice, thinking as fast as I could. "I'm sure you misunderstood Jungkook. He loves you and Alyssa, and I'm positive he has no intention to leave you,"

"He does," Alina went on explaining between sobs. "He asked me to find someone to look after Alyssa for a while. He says we have to have time to ourselves, or our marriage is dead, That we haven't had sex for so love."

Uuuggghhh Men, I mentally groan.

"I swear to you, Skylar, I've called everyone who had babysat Alyssa before but no one's available. No one, not even for one night. When I told Jungkook I hadn't found a sitter, he got so angry.....and that's not like Jungkook."

I totally agreed. Jungkook was the salt of the earth. Not once since I'd known him, I can't recall him raising his voice. He is always so calm, lovely and gents with Alina and those around him.

"He told me that if I didn't take this weekend trip to San Francisco with him that he was going alone. I tried to find someone to watch Alyssa," Alina said. "I honestly tried, but there's no one else. And now Jungkook's home and he's loading up the car and Skylar, he's serious. He's going to leave without me and from the amount of luggage he's taking, I don't think he plans to come back."

My head was filled but the key word planned itself in fertile ground was weekend. "I thought you said you only needed me for one night?" I asked.

Alina sniffled once more, probably for effect, I mused darkly.
