Ellie
zoomed along in her 2010 Porsche Cayman S that her rich boyfriend had
given her for her birthday. She was on her way to her brothers house
since he and his wife tamara were recently engaged and were going out
for there engagement party and needed me to look after their baby. I
saw there cute little house it stood in the middle of the street my
sister in-law to be has a serious problem she loves to decorate
things. Their house is pink and purple and looks as though it's
supposed to be a gingerbread house or in a fairytale. I arrive and
pull in at the curve all the kids in the street pause and stare at my
car I wink at the little boys and they all run to show there dads.
Tamara runs out to great me screaming "Ellie" "oh my gosh honey
you look stunning!" I thank her and I am ushered inside of her warm
and cozy pink house. Inside I find my brother lounged across the
couch watching TV. He gets up and hugs me "thanks for coming ell I
owe you" he says. "its ok need to get used to kids might end up
being a mum some day" I say kiddingly knowing that I don't want
kids not with Anthony his a sleaz bag but he happens to be rich so
she's playing him until he finally gives in and puts something in
her name. Meanwhile she has another boyfriend who is kind a caring
and everything she wants but they don't know about each other and
wont. "Ellie I know its so sudden but would you like to come for
dinner Sunday night?" asked Tamara willingly. Crap id promised
Anthony I would go to his families dinner on Sunday night but how
would I break this to her she looks so excited. I look her in the
eyes and tell her the truth that I can't make it Sunday night but
that they could come over for dinner on Monday night if they liked. "
oh ok Ellie sure we'll be there" said Tamara with a disappointed
smile. I felt guilty after that and told them that they could stay
out late as I had nothing to do this evening and I was willing to
spend sometime alone. I stood outside with their baby in my arms
waving goodbye. Once they were out of sight I decided that id take a
short walk around the neighbourhood I locked the door and grabbed the
stroller and off I went. It was so peaceful this neighbour hood kids
laughing and playing on the streets parents sitting on there
verandahs chatting loudly with sudden outbursts of laughter. Friendly
people waved at me and I waved black. I came across a younger man
fixing his car in his driveway I sought of had to swerve around his
car he noticed me and immediately jumped up and apologized. "Its
all good don't move" I said. I could tell the man was seriously
gob smacked by my looks. Everyone just tended to look at my red hair
and blue eyes. "Um im ellie um im babysitting for my brother and
his fiancée Tamara." I said quickly. "Oh yes im good friends
with them" he said nervously. "Well nice meeting you but its
getting late got to get this bub home" I said as I backed the
stroller towards the direction of the pick house. "Yeah you to see
you around" he said watching me as I walked away. When I got inside
I decided that the baby needs feeding so I got the instructions that
Tamara had left me for making a bottle. The baby soon fell asleep
after it was fed. I relaxed on the same lounge my brother was on when
I had first arrived. I decided id check my blackberry I reached into
my Gucci bag id recently fell in love with and found that it was
vibrating I read the phone ID it read will.
