Chapter Nine: Magic Mike

"Take another right and you have reached your destination." I do as my GPS tells me to and am greeted by the sight of what I think is a house.

Who am I kidding, this is a fricking mansion. Maybe even bigger than that.

I look at the address that Gigi texted me. Yep it's definitely the right one.

You're probably wondering why I'm here.

That's because Gigi had to babysit today, but she was busy so she asked me to do it. Since, I need all the money I can get at this point so it's a win win.

I go to press the buzzer on the gate, but they open themselves. I cautiously walk inside.

There's a huge fountain in the middle with statues of lions surrounding it. The house was secluded by enormous trees greener than any other trees I've seen.

Two gardeners stand in the distance planting new flowers, making the house even more beautiful.

I'm surprised that the President doesn't live here, but whoever does must be pretty damn rich.

I glance at my clothes, they seem so casual for a house like this.

I walk up the white marble steps and ring the golden doorbell. A woman, who I'm presuming is in her early forties, opens the door.

She wears a sleek black long sleeved dress, her hair pulled back in a tight bun. Her presence screams class.

She gives me a kind smile a quick hug. "Hello darling you must be Lewis' new babysitter, I'm Lisa. Come on in."

Wow, she seems nice.

If you thought the outside was beautiful, the inside was a hundred times better. The wooden floors were gleaming and not a speck of dust was visible on them. The furnishing of the house was old but had a sort of modern twist. The walls were covered in amazing pieces of art and the wooden staircase gave the house an even more grand feel.

Lisa leads me to what I think is the living room. "What's your name dear?"

"Heidi Thompson."

She looks at me carefully, as if studying me. "I thought I recognised you from those beautiful green eyes! You're Andrew Thompson's daughter right?"

I nod. "That's my dad."

"Believe it or not, your dad and I were very good friends in high school."

"Seriously?"

She nods and smiles. Who knew my dad actually had friends.

"Lewis! Come and meet your babysitter." Lisa yells.

A boy about eight with big chocolate brown eyes comes into view. He has a light tan to his skin and wears a cheeky smile on his face.

He walks over and stands on the couch so we're at eye level. "Hey there beautiful I'm Lewis." He says whilst attempting to wink at me.

I lightly push his face back and laugh. "And I'm wayyy to old for you."

He throws his hands up. "But I have dimples!"

Lisa and I both roll our eyes. "Boys."

She kisses Lewis on the cheek and he mumbles something about not being a baby, whilst rubbing his cheek.

"I have to get going dear." She puts a hand on my shoulder. "I'll be back by around 9, but you're free to leave whenever Lewis' older brother gets home."

I give her a small nod and watch her pick up her bag before leaving with the driver.

"So Lewis, tell me something about yourself."

"Um I like pizza with pepperoni and cheese and chicken and fruit loops and-" He trails off as I watch him in amusement.

It's like he can sense my love of food.

"Do you wanna watch a movie?" He asks snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Sure, what do you have in mind?"

He cheekily grins and grabs my hand. "Follow me."

Lewis leads me up the never ending stairs. Seriously, I'm out of breath walking up these there's so many.

He stops at a room.

"Is this your room?" It comes out quieter than expected, probably because I'm still getting my breath back.

He thinks about it for a moment, deciding whether to lie or not, and shrugs. "Nope."

He opens the door to a room probably twice the size of mine. It's walls were painted navy blue and it was kept very well tidied. The first thing my eyes fall on is the enormous bookshelf in the corner of the room.

Before I could look at all of the different books, I notice shelves stacked with what looked like sports trophies. Next to them hung a basketball jersey on the wall, which read 'Knight 24'.

Considering Ryan talks about every single basketball player in the world, I've never heard of a Knight.

Wait. Knight. Basketball. Brother. I turn my attention to Lewis who's busy putting a movie in the DVD player. "Lewis?"

"Hm?"

No, I'm probably wrong. There's lots of Knights who play basketball, right?

"What's your brother called?"

He opens his mouth to answer. "LEWIS ARE YOU HOME?" A voice shouts from downstairs.

"Hide!" He whisper yells to me.

I look around and panic when I hear footsteps. Screw it. I quickly crawl underneath the bed and hold my breath.

"Lewis what have I told you about going in my room when I'm not here?" The voice scolds.

"To go wild?" He retorts and I can mentally imagine his brother rolling his eyes.

"And why the fuck are you watching Magic Mike?" His brother says whilst turning the TV off.

"Hey!" Lewis whines.

"Out." I hear Lewis groan and hop off the bed.

Wait no don't leave me!

"I think I dropped something." Lewis bends down and pretends to pick something up.

He looks over at me and mouths 'What do we do?'

I mouth back. 'This is your fault!' He gives me an apologetic look.

"Lewis I swear I told you to get out." The voice speaks again.

"I'm going I'm going!" He quickly mouths another sorry and gets up.

I see the person walk over to the door and shut it.

I then feel a big weight on top of me. A sound escapes my lips and the person shifts around.

I clasp my hands over my mouth being careful not to make another sound.

I'm going to die down here.

Ew why is it so dusty down here? The person shifts around again but this time I'm careful to not make a sound.

A few minutes pass and I feel my nose start to tingle. I pinch my nose trying to block the sneeze from coming.

Woah it actually worked!

I let go off my nose, worse decision ever. I don't even have time to even process it and I sneeze.

Why do you hate me universe?

The person slowly climbs off the bed and walks towards the door.

I close my eyes. Thank god he's leaving.

Suddenly a head appears beside me and I snap my eyes open. "HA I GOT YOU DYL-"

Landon? Oh shit it's Landon.

He squints his eyes and I do the only thing that comes to my mind.

I scream.
