Pretend Relatives
Chapter 1
She got up and popped her ear buds into her ears All-American-Rejects blared from the tinny speakers. Still in her pajamas she made her way down stairs with a pill bottle rattling in her hand. Going over to the kitchen cabinet the girl in PJ's grabbed a glass out; she got some water from the tap and took her medicine. It wasn't till she sat at the table across from him that she noticed she wasn't at home. He stared at her for a few minutes watching her slightly amused before she noticed him.
"SHIT!" She jumped up pulling down on the small t-shirt that she wore with her flannel pants. Grabbing her pill bottle she ran up stairs, she could still hear him laughing by the time she made it to her room.
After having dressed herself properly she made her way back down stairs to get some real breakfast. By this time he had made his way to the living room and was playing some video game. She considered throwing some rude comment his way but he beat her to the punch.
"Do you always wake up swearing and running around half dressed?" He had paused the game and was making his way to where she was sitting at the kitchen table making a bowl of cereal.
"I will have you know that I never do that at stranger's houses. I just forgot where I was. It's not my fault that my mom decided to ship me to my aunt's house for the summer because she had a big business trip to go on." She cocked her hip and put her hand on it about ready to flip him off and tell him to literally go jump off a bridge and die, when her aunt walked in.
"Ah Alex, Janelle you have met that's good. Janelle this is Alex I am his caretaker. Alex this is Janelle she is my friends daughter. Her mother and I were very close friends during our childhood into when we were adults. We have kept in contact lately and she asked if I could watch her daughter while she went on her business trip." Jack hugged her robe tighter around her. Janelle stalked over to Alex and offered her hand for him to shake.
"It is very nice to meet you Alex." She smiled at him like some sort of fox about to devour it prey. He took her hand firmly and smiled a fake smile right back of her.
"The pleasure is mine, though we have met before and you had less clothing on." With that he let go of her hand and took off towards the door a smile on his face. She was right on his tail reaching out to catch him but as a trained spy there was no way she would lay a finger on him. Alex yelled to Jack from the door.
"I'm going over to Toms I will be back later!" Janelle yelled at him from the door.
"Yeah you better leave mister before I beat your butt!" Jack heard the front door slam and Janelle stomp back into the kitchen.
"He laughed at me the jerk. I am so going to beat him up that little wimp." Jack stifled a laugh then went about making herself breakfast.
