Eva looked through her bedroom window next to her bed as she watched it rain, she bit at her bottom lip and looked over at Nonie sitting with Blaze by her dresser. She watched Blaze drawing in his drawing pad as he talked with his Mum, she looked back out of her window again and deeply sighed to herself.
" Are you okay sweetie?" Asked Nonie.
" Yes Auntie Nonie, I am just bored cause of the rain. I wanted to go outside to play today like we did yesterday..." Answered Eva, she breathed onto the glass of her window and drew a butterfly on it with his finger tip." Being inside is boring..."
" Well, maybe it will stop raining by tomorrow and then you can play outside again..." Smiled Nonie.
" It will be to muddy to play out tomorrow Mommy, we'd get dirty clothes!" Chuckled Blaze, he placed his drawing pad down next to him and put his coloured pencils away in his pencil box." We could play video games if you like Eva, it's fun!"
Eva looked at Blaze over her shoulder as she bit at her bottom lip and spoke quietly to him." Uncle A said I am not allowed to play video games yet cause I am only 4 years old..."
" Oh..." Frowned Blaze.
" But you can play on them still and I could watch you play them..." Smiled Eva.
" Good!" Smiled Blaze.
The door opened to Eva's bedroom, A walked into her room as he carried a cardboard box under his arm and closed the bedroom door behind him. He smiled as he walked over to Eva's bed, he placed the cardboard down next to her bed and sat down on the edge of it.
" Okay kids, I've found a few things to entertain you on this rainy Sunday..." Smiled A, he opened the cardboard box and looked over at Nonie." They'll actually some stuff me and Backup use to play with as kids. I'm surprised they still have them to be honest..."
" What's in the box Aiden?" Asked Nonie.
A smirked as he took a couple of old board games from the cardboard box, he placed them down on his lap and held one of the board games in his hand as he showed Nonie." Board games! What better way to burn time on a rainy Sunday evening..."
" Board games on a Sunday? Are you serious?" Asked Nonie, she pulled her legs to her chest and smirked." Where did you find those anyway?"
" There is nothing wrong with board games, they're timeless and classic..." Smirked A." Me and Backup use to play them all the time as kids on a Sunday. They're good for keeping your mind active and I found these games in the Attic..."
Nonie looked at the cardboard box and smirked." I just hope you didn't bring any tiny visitors down from the Attic with that box Aiden or someone will not sleep tonight..."
" Little visitors?" Asked Blaze.
Nonie smiled at Blaze as she leant towards his ear and whispered into it." You know, spiders. Keep it to yourself..."
" Spiders!" Shouted Blaze, he covered his mouth up with his hands and giggled." Sorry..."
Nonie wrapped her arms around Blaze and chuckled." So much for secrets!"
Eva crawled over to the edge of her bed, she looked down into the cardboard box and bit at her bottom lip as she looked up at her Uncle." Is there spiders in the box Uncle A?"
" Eva does not like spiders!" Chuckled Blaze, he got up from next to his Mum and walked over to his Uncle with his hands in his jean pockets." She found a spider in her shoe once and threw it over the sofa..."
" Yeah, I remember the shoe and spider incident..." Chuckled A.
" But Uncle A, spiders are creepy! I don't like them at all!" Frowned Eva, she looked at the board game in her Uncle's hand and ran her finger tips across the yellow writing on the front of the box." I didn't like the film about the giant spiders we watched on Friday Uncle A, can we watch a nice film before bedtime tonight please?"
" You watch scary films before bedtime?" Asked Blaze, he stopped in front of his Uncle and gripped the sides of the board game box." Can I have a look at it please Uncle Aiden?"
" It wasn't that scary, it amusing and cheesy..." Chuckled A, he gave Blaze a nod of his head as he let go of the board game and smiled at him." Sure you can Blaze, it's a bit dusty though..."
" Thank you!" Smiled Blaze, he sat down on a blue rug in the middle of the room and placed the box down in front of him." Come and play this game with me Eva!"
" Okay..." Sighed Eva, she climbed down from her bed and walked over to Blaze." What's the game called?"
Blaze looked down at the board game box in front of him, he put his thumb to his lips and smiled." Snakes and Ladders!"
Eva sat down opposite from Blaze, she leant her hands on the board game box and looked down at the picture of the Snakes on the box as she whispered to him." Do you think there is real Snakes inside the box?"
" Don't be silly Eva!" Laughed Blaze.
Nonie got up from the floor by Eva's dresser, she walked over to Blaze and Eva. She knelt next to Blaze, she removed the lid from the board game box and smiled at Eva.
" See, there is no Snakes in the box sweetie..." Smiled Nonie.
" Are you sure?" Asked Eva, she pulled her legs to her chest and wrapped her arms around them as she watched her Auntie take the colourful checked board game from the box." I'm scared!"
Nonie placed the colourful checked board game between Eva and Blaze. She looked over at A with a frown on her face as she took a tiny plastic bag with coloured tiddlywinks in it and sighed.
" Aiden, don't let Eva watch anything scary before she goes to bed at night..." Sighed Nonie.
" But it was only Eight Legged Freaks..." Chuckled A, he placed the other board games back into the cardboard box and flicked his fringe away from his blue eyes." It's not even that scary..."
" It is for 4 year old you idiot!" Smirked Nonie.
" Fine, I'll note that down for future bedtime movies. No giant spiders or clown films before Eva's bedtime..." Smirked A.
" I don't like clowns!" Gasped Eva, she covered up her blue eyes with her hands and bit at her bottom lip." Stop it!"
" Uncle Aiden, don't scare Eva! It's mean!" Frowned Blaze.
" I agree..." Sighed Nonie.
A rolled his eyes as he took a bag of toffee from his hoody pocket, he leant back against the wall and pulled his legs to his chest as he sighed." What is this? Gang up on Aiden day? Eva pops, I didn't mean to scare you and I'm sorry. Okay sweetheart?"
Eva uncovered her eyes and pouted at her Uncle." Okay..."
" Okay, so why don't you play the board game for a while and have a bit of fun before bedtime..." Smiled A.
" Aiden is right. Come on, why don't you both choice a coloured tiddlywink and I'll show how to play the game..." Smiled Nonie, she emptied the tiddlywinks onto her hand and held it out between the kids." It's an easy game to learn how to play..."
" Can I choose the yellow one please?" Asked Eva.
" Of course you can sweetie! Now you just place it down on the number 1 square on the board..." Smiled Nonie.
Eva took the yellow tiddlywink from her Auntie's hand, she placed it down on the box numbered 1 on the board and smiled." Like this?"
" That's right, now which colour tiddlywink do you want Blaze?" Asked Nonie, she held her hand towards Blaze and smiled at him." Choose a colour..."
Blaze smiled as he choose the red tiddlywink, he placed it down on the board next to Eva's tiddlywink and looked at his Mum." What do we do now?"
Nonie emptied the left over tiddlywinks back into the plastic bag, she put it in the game box and picked up a blue plastic cup with a dice in it." Well you shake the dice in this cup, you drop the dice onto the board and the number you get on the dice means you can move your tiddlywink forward. So say if you got 3, you would move 3 spaces forward and the one to get to 100 first is the winner..."
" That sounds easy..." Smiled Blaze.
" Would you like to play with us Auntie Nonie?" Asked Eva.
Nonie placed the blue plastic cup down on the board, she slowly shook her head and smirked." No, I'll watch you both play for a while and make sure no one is cheating. Now you'll both have to decide who will go first..."
" You can go first Blaze!" Smiled Eva.
Blaze picked up the blue plastic cup, he covered his hand over the top of the cup and shook it as he looked down at the board. He dropped the dice on the board and smiled at his Mum." I got 5!"
" That's good sweetie, now move your tiddlywink 5 spaces and then it's Eva's turn..." Chuckled Nonie.
Blaze moved his red tiddlywink 5 spaces on the board, he picked up the dice and dropped it back into the plastic cup. He held the plastic cup towards Eva and smirked at her." Your turn..."
Eva took the plastic cup from Blaze's hand and giggled." I will beat you at this game!"
" Will not!" Smirked Blaze.
" Will too!" Pouted Eva.
" Oh fighting talk..." Chuckled A, he popped his toffee into his mouth and chewed it slowly." You're friends and friends play nicely together. Don't forget that..."
" Your Uncle Aiden is right, you pair have been friends since you were babies. So just play the game nicely together..." Smirked Nonie.
" Okay!" Said Blaze and Eva together.
Eva and Blaze continued to play the board game. They took it in turns to roll the dice and laughed as they played the game together.
" Your turn Eva..." Smiled Blaze, he held the little blue plastic cup out towards Eva and rattled the dice around in it." You need to get 4 more to catch up with my red tiddlywink counter..."
Eva took the little plastic cup from Blaze's hand, she placed her hand over the top of it as she shook it up and down with a smirk on her face." That means I need 5!"
" Roll the dice already..." Sighed Blaze.
Eva shook the blue plastic cup with her hands, she removed her hand from the top of the cup as she shook it and gasped when the dice flew out of it. She watched the dice hit her Uncle on the head and dropped the plastic cup on the board.
" What the hell!" Frowned A, he looked around Eva's bed as he chewed his toffee slowly in his mouth and sighed." What was that?!"
" Oh no..." Whispered Eva, she bit at her bottom lip as she looked at Blaze and whispered to him." I hurt Uncle A..."
" It is only a dice, it will not hurt him..." Whispered Blaze, he put his thumb to his lips and chewed at his thumbnail as he looked over at his Mum." Right?"
" Kids?" Asked A, he looked over at Blaze and Eva as a smirk appeared across his face." I take it one of you pair is behind this or I could be wrong and it could have been Nonie..."
" It was an accident, my Mommy didn't do it!" Frowned Blaze.
" It was me Uncle A, I took my hand off the cup when I was shaking the dice in it and it hit you on the head..." Pouted Eva.
" What is with your pair when you get together, it's like something always ends up flying at my head..." Chuckled A, he picked the dice up from Eva's bed and sat on the edge of her bed." If it not a toy panda, it's now dices..."
Eva giggled as she got up from the floor, she walked over to her bed that her Uncle was sitting on and smiled at him." I'm sorry Uncle A, can we the dice back please?"
" Hmm, let me think..." Smirked A as he rolled the dice between his finger and thumb. " Should I let you have the dice back..."
Eva held her hands towards her Uncle and giggled." Please! I love you Uncle A!"
A quickly scooped Eva up from the floor, he sat her down on his lap and tickled her as he chuckled." You only love me when you want something short stuff..."
" No I don't!" Laughed Eva as she grabbed hold of her Uncle's hand and smiled." I need to go to the bathroom!"
A stopped tickling Eva, he placed her back down on the floor and got up from her bed." Okay, on that note I believe it's time for your bath..."
" But what about the game?" Asked Blaze.
Nonie go up from the floor, she picked Blaze's drawing pad and pencil box up from the floor." We can say it was a draw. Come on sweetie, it's nearly your bedtime too..."
Blaze got up from the floor and sighed." Okay Mommy..."
" Eva, say goodnight to Nonie and Blaze..." Smiled A, he looked down at Eva and crossed his arms." Then it's your bath and bed..."
" Goodnight!" Smiled Eva, she looked up at her Uncle and bit at her bottom lip." I need to use the bathroom!"
" Go then before you wet yourself short stuff..." Chuckled A.
Eva rushed off towards the bathroom and closed the door to the bathroom behind her.
35 minutes later.
Eva sat on her bed, she buttoned up her pink pajama shirt as watched her Uncle pack away the Snakes and Ladders board game. She glanced over at the photograph of her and her Mum together on the bedside table next to her bed.
" Uncle A, which bedroom did my Mummy sleep in?" Asked Eva.
A put the board game back in the cardboard box, he picked it up and placed it down next to Eva's dresser." Why do you want to know that?"
" I just want to know..." Answered Eva, she picked her hair brush up from her bed and began to brush her dark hair." What about my Daddy, where did he sleep?"
A chuckled as he walked over to Eva's bed, he sat down next to her and took her hair brush from her hand as he smiled at her." You ask to many questions..."
" Is that a bad thing?" Asked Eva.
" No..." Smiled A, he brushed Eva's dark hair for her and placed her hair brush down on the bedside table as he got up from her bed." Okay, you're all ready for bed..."
Eva pulled back her blankets back on her bed, she climbed into her bed and lay back on it. She covered herself up with her blankets, she rolled over on her side and looked at the photo frame on her bedside table.
" Uncle A, I want a photo of you too before you leave on Tuesday..." Yawned Eva, she took her messy dark-haired doll from under her pillow and snuggled her face into it.
" Okay..." Smiled A as he covered Eva up with her blankets and chuckled." I can arrange that, I've got plenty of photographs of us together..."
" Good!" Smiled Eva.
" Night sweetheart, I'll be back in a while..." Smiled A, he kissed Eva on her cheek and turned the bedside table's lamp on." Sleep tight..."
" Goodnight!" Smiled Eva, she closed her eyes and curled up into a ball." I love you Uncle A..."
A walked over to the bedroom door, he opened it and turned her bedroom's light off." I love you too short stuff..."
" More than toffee?" Asked Eva.
" That's a hard choice, but sure more than toffee and now I want you to go to sleep..." Chuckled A as he closed the door to Eva's bedroom behind him.
