1.1.1 Chapter 5



*Ding Dong*

The doorbell rang and Dustin ran to open it. "Hello." He said as he swung the door fully open.

"Hello…………." Mia dragged out. She was confused; she had never seen this little kid before.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"I'm Mia. Your neighbor." She answered.

"Who is it bebe?" Missy yelled from the living room.

"C'est la maman voisine." Dustin yelled back.

"Really?" Missy asked coming to the door to find out for herself.

"Vous pensez im allant mentir à vous ?" Dustin asked faking hurt.

"Aucun bébé, juste étonnant." Missy reassured as she picked him up and gave him a hug.

"I know." He said hugging her back.

Mia cleared her throat to make herself known again to the two, as it look as if they were a little preoccupied and had forgot she was standing there.

"Oh sorry, you want to come in?" Missy asked, stepping aside in the doorway so she could come in.

"Sure." Mia agreed as she passed Missy and walked into the living room.

"Down!" Dustin demanded.

"Ayez les façons." Missy said in a reprimanding voice.

"Please?" Dustin asked. Missy set Dustin down and sat herself down in a chair behind her, motioning for Mia to do the same.

"Actually I just came to see if you guys were gonna need any help moving in. And, do you have sugar?" Mia said instead of taking Missy's offer.

"Well that's very nice of you, and actually I think we do. Hold on…….. Mon frère affectueux, vous descendent ici pendant une seconde S'IL VOUS PLAÎT !" Missy said turning and yelling up the stairs.

"What language is that?" Mia wondered out loud.

"Oh, im sorry. It's French, im just used to being able to speak it and have people understand me." Missy apologized.

"All of you speak French?" Mia asked impressed.

"No, just my brother, Dustin, Kaylee, and me. But we all speak Spanish." Missy answered.

"Don't worry I know what it's like to say something and get weird looks for it." Mia said laughing a bit. Missy shot her a strange look, like she couldn't figure out how Mia would understand. "Like that." Mia said laughing. "Me and my brother are Italian and we speak Italian but only to each other 'cause no one else over there understands us." Mia explained.

"Oh, yeah well. Normally I don't speak French to anyone but those 3 but Dustin, well he doesn't understand that not everyone understands him."

"How does Dustin fit into this whole family?" Mia asked trying not to sound rude.

"He's my son." Missy said just as Reese came walking down the stairs in nothing but a white towel wrapped around his waist. Mia had to catch herself before she fell over in shock. She raked her eyes form his gorgeous face to his tan and toned torso, she stalled a second at his 6 pack as she imprinted the sight of it into her brain. Then continued on down skipping over the towel that gave her no clues as to what it was hiding, onto his muscle bound legs, her attention was really caught by the scorpion with writing under it on his right calf. But before she could spend time really imprinting him into her head Missy cleared her throat bringing Mia out of her state of dream.

"Did you hear, Reese?" She asked trying not to laugh, when she knew she finally had Mia's attention.

"Huh? Oh, no." Mia admitted trying to hide her embarrassment over just totally checking out Reese. 'What are you thinking? You're with Brian.' Her brain screamed but she still couldn't take her eyes off him.

"He said they still have some things to unload out of a moving truck tomorrow if you all want to come over and help." Missy repeated her brother.

"Yeah, It's mostly furniture so we will probably need more help with it." Reese seconded.

"Okay, what time?" Mia asked just barely understanding what they were telling her.

"Around 8 is okay. Or whenever." Reese answered.

"Yeah, okay." Mia said turning and leaving.

"She wants you ssssssssoooooo bad!!" Missy burst out laughing.

"No she don't. She's got a man, remember this morning?" Reese asked as he turned his head back from where Mia had just left and focused on his sister.

"Don't matter."

"How can you tell?" He asked, knowing it was a stupid question.

"Well besides the fact that I was surprised that she didn't jump on you right then, from the way she was looking at you. She forgot her sugar."

"Whatever, Miss." Reese said turning and going to put some clothes on.
