New Chapter – New Neighbours.

Regina Mills hated her next door neighbour and was sure the feeling was mutual. He hadn't done anything to offend her but his annoying good-looks meant that she was forced to baby-sit his son whilst he went on unsuccessful dates. After living next door to her for one week he had already had four dates, which meant more than four hours of her life had been taken. She didn't mind looking after Roland from time to time but she did have a life and quite a successful one at that. Robin had dropped his son on her doorstep way too often for her liking and the two year old hated it as well. It would sometimes be for an hour or two, but the longest time Roland had been left with her was for a whole day whilst he was off with some girl. To be fair she did offer to look after his son for an hour or two, but a whole day was just pushing it. She had no child care items so she had had to run to her sister, Emma's, apartment to grab Henry's old things. Between her work and babysitting she had no time to go out with her friends or get drunk. She should say no sometimes but his distracting dimples got the better of her.

Currently, she had just started a phone call whilst balancing Roland on her hip. For a two year old he was a quiet child and not that fussy at all.

"Robin?"

"Regina? I'm really sorry but I won't be able to pick Roland up until later on."

"Robin. That's not fair I have a really important meal tonight and it isn't my job to look after your son."

"I know Regina and I really am sorry. I am really busy."

"What with another one of your lady friends? Why don't you hire a professional baby-sitter instead of dumping your son on me whatever chance you get?"

"I have tried you know that."

"Well try harder."

"I'm sorry. I'll be over soon."

"You better be."

Regina hung up the phone and sighed. Looking at Roland she bounced him up and down.

"Looks like it's just you and me Ro. Let's get some food"

She had ended up getting some toddler food from the store on a whim the other day and it proved to be very useful. Within minutes she had managed to make a decent meal for Roland and herself and sat down to eat it.

I know it isn't very long but please R and R and send in prompts.
