School this week has been the same old same old. I had started babysitting after school and weekends to get some money. Mathew, Troy, Chris and Marco had started working at a gym together. I guess they saw they could get paid and workout. Because of this I haven't been spending that much time at Mathew’s after school. I would sometimes go after babysitting on weekdays and weekends evenings when he wasn't working. Sometimes he would bring me and the kids I babysit food so we could eat together.

The family I babysit for is very cool. I’ve asked if I could have a friend over. They asked to meet him once and trusted me enough that I wouldn’t let anyone not be trusted by their twins. When they met him they liked him and left us with their kids. The kids I watch are a set of twins, a boy and a girl in 2nd grade. At the age where they aren’t really annoying anymore they don’t need constant attention or talk non stop. They just kinda just ask lots of questions and sometimes want me to play with them or help with homework. 

The girl Arely seems to have a crush on Mathew and always asks me when he’s going to come over. Mathew is really good with them. He plays along with whatever game they want to play from dolls to wrestling with Ben. They both seem to like when he comes around. 

It’s Saturday and I had slept over at Mathew’s. It’s 4:30 am right now and I hear him moving around his room. He’s getting ready for work. The gym he works at is a 24 hour gym so weekends sometimes he goes in super early. He walks over to the bed and leans down and kisses me.

“I’m going to work. I’ll be back by 12 if you don’t work we can go out later.” He suggested and walked towards his door. I just smile and go back to sleep: he locks his door when he leaves and I sleep in till he comes back. 

I love my sleep so I don’t intend on getting up if I don’t need to. Plus Mathew’s bed is so comfortable and his pillows smell like him. I woke up to him coming into the room. “You're still sleeping?” Mathew asked me. 

“Yeah.” I mumble, tuning over reaching for my phone. 

“Ima shower.” 

I hear the shower start. I check to see if I have any messages. The Smiths had asked me if I was free to watch their kids till 12 am. I guess they have a party today and need me to go. I tell them yes I’ll be there by 4. They live in the same neighborhood as Mathew so it was kinda convenient for me if I was going to spend the night here. Mathew comes out of the shower asking me if I was babysitting today. I told him yes and that it would be late. Mathew tells me that he’ll come with me. 

I start getting ready I shower, wash my face and brush my teeth. Meanwhile Mathew had gone down stairs to eat. When he came back he brought me a banana and some grapes. I’m not really a big breakfast person so I normally just eat something light. I sit down in my towel and eat. 

“I have to go to my house and change before we go.” I told him.

“Just wear some of my clothes.” He tells me. 

“I need everything though not just shirt or sweater.” I’ve worn his stuff before but never really anything other then tops. His stuff fits me big because he’s a XXl sometimes three X. So all his tops are oversized on me which I like. 

“So?” 

“Uhh your underwear will be big on me and your jeans are too.” I told him. 

“That’s fine, just wear some sweats with a waist band or that can be tightened.” He starts looking through his stuff. “Don’t you wear my sweats all the time?” He asked me.

“Yeah but just in your room so I don’t really move or walk in them.” 

He finds some sweats that might work. He grabs some boxer briefs he barely wears and gives them to me to try on. I walk to his clothes and look at his shirts. Mathew never cares what I grab of his. He would probably wear my clothes to if it fit him. We finally find something to work. I just go for a little loose look and we leave. His parents were out so I didn’t have to worry about leaving his room. 

We arrive at the Smith’s house and head to the door. I ring the doorbell. 

“What?” Mathew is just looking  at me.

“Nothing, you just look cute in my clothes.” Mathew smiles and goes to kiss me when the door opens. 

“Alexis! Mathew!!!!!!” Arely screams.

She runs out and hugs us both barely hugging one of each of our legs. 

“Oh she seems to really like you.” Her mother tells Mathew. ”She’s always asking ‘when will Mathew come over mom?’Can we call him? Will Alexis bring him today?’ Haha I’m glad you came.”

Mathew laughs. ”Yeah?”

We start to walk inside. Mr. Smith comes out fixing his tie. “Mathew! I didn’t know you were coming. How are your parents?” 

“They're good, they're going to the same party I believe.” Mathew replied.

They get their shoes on and get ready to leave. “Well you guys take care of the kids. Always nice having you over.” Mr.Smith yelled before closing the door as they left. 

We go to the living room and Mathew starts playing with the kids for a while. After about an hour and half I tell them it’s time to eat. I usually feed them around 6 for dinner and then a snack around 8 so they sleep at 9. We all sit at the dinner table eating and talking. 

“When I’m older I’m going to be like Mathew. I’m going to be cool and get all the girls.” Ben said and laughed. 

Mathew starts bursting out laughing because he said it out of nowhere. Ben really idolizes Mathew and looks up to him always asking him what he would do or what he’s into. And he barely knew him for two weeks. 

“I don’t just get girls I get guys as well.” Mathew replied. 

“Oh. My uncle likes guys so maybe he likes you.” Ben told Mathew. 

“When I’m older I’m going to date Mathew.” Arely blurted before Mathew could answer Ben. 

“Okay. No more ‘when I’m older’. Finish your food and we’ll play some games Mathew likes.” I Interrupt to help Mathew. 

After we ate, Mathew played video games with them while I washed the dishes and cleaned the table. I joined them when I was done. We played for a while after that I gave them a snack and once 9:00pm hit I sent them to bed. I know they don’t really sleep at 9:00 pm  but when I check on them thirsty minutes later they’re fast asleep. 

After I put them to sleep me and Mathew have to stay till it’s 12:00 am. He goes to put on a movie to kill time. When we’re here we never really kiss or hug or anything. Since he had only come one other time during the weekend I’m mostly here in the day with the kids around. I respect the house and the Smith’s to not do anything here and also wouldn’t want someone being all pda in front of my kids. 

We go to the sofa and sit down. They have a nice pull out couch so you can lay down at any part. The movie starts and we’re sitting next to each other. He tried pulling me close to him. 

“Stop.” I told him. 

“What?” He replied.

“We can’t do that here.” I ordered. 

“Do what?” He smiles.

“Whatever you're trying to do.”

“I’m just trying to hold you while we watch the movie.” 

“They could have nanny cams and see us.” I told him. 

“So? We’re just hugging. Come here I want to hug my boyfriend.” He pulls me closer. Mathew has a tendency to sleep during a movie if it’s not action or something with SiFi. The movie ended right before 12. Ten minutes to be exact. I let him sleep, leaning on me till the Smith’s arrived. I tapped him to wake up and moved over. 

“How were they?” Mrs.Smith asked us. 

“They were good like always. Ben told Mathew he wants to be like him when he grows up and Arely told him she wants to date him.” I told them. They both laugh. 

“I think Mathew just might take your job Alexis.” Mr.Smith joked.

“No. Alexis is way too good for me to take anything away from him.” Mathew replied. 

Mrs.Smith sends me the money and walks us to the door.

“How long have you guys been friends? You seem close?” She asked us.

“Umm we’ve been friends since freshman year.” I told her. 

We walk out the door and stand outside.

”That’s good. You have each other to look out for the other these years.“ 

“Yeah.” 

We go to Mathew’s truck and leave back to his house. “I’m your friend?” Mathew teased. 

“Yeah… “ I joked.

“Okay. So you coming to sleep at your friend's house?” Mathew teased back.

It’s Friday night the week before Halloween. We've been binge watching scary movies this whole month. It’s kinda like our date nights. Even though we don’t go on traditional dates it still feels good to come watch movies in his room. I always bring him his favorite candy gummy worms and air heads. For someone who always eats candy his teeth are perfect with no cavities. 

“You still haven’t told me what you're going to be tomorrow.” He asked me while watching the movie. 

“It’s a surprise.” I replied. Tomorrow Logan is having a party at his house for Halloween. All month there’s been parties. 

“Then how will I find you? You know what I’m going to be already.” 

“Yeah but I could just look for the tallest guy and I would know it’s you in a mask.” Mathew was going to be a killer from Halloween who wears a mechanic overalls. I mean he fits the part of being tall.

“I’ll just look for your friends and find you right away.” He brags. 

“I’m going to be wearing makeup so you wont even recognize me.” I tease him. 

The rest of the night we watched the movie and went to bed.
