#lamine

you’ve had a boring summer so far, only going out a few times, and most of it being with family. when your mother asked you to babysit one of her friends child for the weekend you instantly agreed. you packed your bags and a bit of toys incase he’d want to play, then made your way over.

it was a thirty minute drive and when you arrived the mother was sitting outside on the porch with her baby, it was a huge and beautiful home. you wondered what she did for work.

“hello!” you smiled, walking up with your bag in hand.

“hi darling, it’s so nice to meet you,” she said while handing you the baby boy, “his name is kenye, he’s very calm and loves fútbol, so if he’s ever throwing a tantrum just put a match on.” she winks.

you laugh, “got it, any allergies or emergency numbers?”

she winded her eyes slightly, nodding her head, “right. emergency numbers are on the side of the fridge, and if he ever says he wants “lala” he means his older brother.” she laughs at the nickname.

“his number is listed under lamine on the fridge, feel free to text him.”

you nod after every sentence she said, “got it, thank you for having me, i hope your vacation goes well!”

she says her goodbyes to her baby and you wave to her as she drives away. after she leaves you enter the house and you’re met with a beautiful, warm looking home, with the fireplace on, and a huge kitchen island, your dream.

you place the baby down and he waddles away to the carpet in the living room. you take the time to send pictures to your friends and whatnot.

“you hungry baby?” you say in a high-pitched voice to kenye.

he nods and giggles, “chicken!”

“awe you want chicken nuggets?” you pick him up, holding him on the side of your waist while searching for frozen chicken nuggets.

to your luck you found some in the freezer, you place the bag on the counter along with kenye and read the instructions. you hear him huff slightly.

“what’s wrong?” you slightly tilt your head and scrunch your nose.

“dino!” he blurts, pushing the chicken nuggets away from him, trying to knock it into the ground.

“this is all there is, i’m sorry.” you pout softly.

you thought he’d accept it, but now he’s throwing a fit and doesn’t want to eat anything else apparently. you throw on a match hoping it’d calm him down, but it only made him more agitated. you sigh to yourself knowing you’d have to drive to the store and get some dino nuggets or he’d never calm down.

you spot his car seat by the kitchen island, put shoes on him, and make your way to your car. you spent around ten minutes trying to tighten the car seat, it had been your first time ever installing a car seat and it was harder than it seemed.

“finally.” you sigh, putting your hands on your hips and head back.

“okey, come here kenye.” you pick him up and buckle him in, he instantly stops fussing.

you put on some light tunes as you make your way to the grocery store. it was only about fifteen minutes away, but it felt like forever since you had never been on this side of the city. the sun was starting to set, it had just turned seven.

you take him out his seat locking the car as you hold him on your hip. you grab a cart and place him in the baby seat. he smiled brightly, moving his hands around.

you make your way to the frozen foods section, grab the exact dino nuggets he wanted, because he started pointing instantly. you were making your way towards the checkout area, but you see the lego section and do a 360.

“you like legos baby?” you say out loud, not really expecting a real response from him.

you see a ton of legos, you try not to look at the more expensive and big ones since you’ve already spent around two thousand on legos in the past. you walk over to the miniature ones and find a cute pink car, next to a blue one.

you grab the blue one and put it in front of kenye, he makes some excited baby noises and grabs it, not letting it go.

“okay kenye, we’ll get you that one.” you laugh while putting the pink one in the cart as well.

you finish checking your things out and make your way back to the house. you put the dino nuggets in the oven and unbox the legos. kenye is right next to you playing around with his bags.

you’re halfway done with the pink car when kenye puts the blue bag in your face, you set aside your lego set and start to build his, he hands you it piece by piece, making the process ten times longer. it annoyed you a bit, but he was a little baby so it didn’t bother you too much.

the oven timer dinged, you stood up and took his nuggets out, placing them on a plate and letting them cool down as you poured him a little bit of fruit punch in a cup.

you sat him down on his high chair and continued building the cars while you let it cool down for a couple of minutes.

“look how cute!” you smile, showing kenye the finished pink car.

he giggled, reaching for it, you handed him his nuggets and juice instead. you finished building his blue car and took a picture.

after eating kenye started yawning, so you took him to brush his teeth and changed him into pajamas, tucking him into bed. you sat there for a bit until he fully fell asleep.

you got up, saw the room door across from him slightly ajar and decided to snoop around, you knew it was wrong, but it wasn’t like you were going to steal anything.

you were met with a room full of trophies, a gaming set up, and not to mention, it was a bit messy. clothes on the ground, empty waterbottles and a few chip backs on the nightstand, along with socks everywhere.

you knew it wasn’t your job, but you separated the dirty clothes, setting them into separate piles, and you found yourself looking at the trophies. you realized they were an actual professional team, rather than a highschool or college team.

“lamine yamal.” you whisper to yourself, wondering who it was.

you keep snooping and see a huge walk-in closet filled with designer clothes and accessories, including chrome hearts, your favorite.

“holy shit.” you mumble against your breath, walking up to the jewelry on a table in the middle of the room.

you see the jewelry through the clear top and open the drawer, pulling out a chrome hearts necklace and matching bracelet. it was the only thing on your wishlist for years now, and now it was sitting in front of you. you instantly took a picture and sent it to your bestfriend group chat.

you put your phone in your back pocket again, put the jewelry back and snooped around some more. you got nervous you were being watched after about five minutes, so you turned off the lights and left the room.

you were instructed to sleep in the guest room, which was also very big and luxurious, but it wasn’t anything like the room you were just in. you lay on your stomach scrolling through your phone, then the thought comes across your mind to search up the boys name.

you type his name into google and see he’s a player for fc barcelona. your jaw almost drops as you scroll some more and see his stats, including how much he’s worth. not to mention, he was also very attractive.

you get bored after some time and turn your phone off, going to sleep, after setting your alarm for 6 am, hoping to wake up before kenye.

the next morning comes, the sun is still down and the birds aren’t chirping. you get yourself up, putting on your slippers and head to the restroom. you brush your teeth, wash your face, and fix your hair.

you go back to the guest room and change into some decent clothes, then you go out to the kitchen to make breakfast for you and kenye. you decide on simple eggs, toast, and sausage.

while setting all the food onto the two plates you hear tiny, but loud footsteps coming towards the kitchen.

“mm?” you hear beside you.

“kenye, good morning, let’s go brush our teeth.” you say picking him up in your arms.

you finished brushing his teeth and sat him down on his high chair. placing his plate into the little tray and pouring him a small glass of water. you take a seat next to him and enjoy the view of the nice house in front of you.

“lala.” kenye pouts like he’s about to cry.

you remembered that his mother said “lala” meant his older brother, and that his number would be on the fridge. you felt a little weird texting him since you now knew who he was. nonetheless, you get up to type the number into your phone.

“what do you want to say?” you smile handing him your phone, unsure if he knew how to text.

you let him type for a couple minutes and took it back, seeing what he said, you read the messages, “lala.”, “hi.”, “where lala.” and laugh at lamine’s response, “hello? kenye?”

you text to let him know you were babysitting him and his mother gave you his phone number, he didn’t respond after that, which you brushed off.

the day went by slow, you cleaned the house a bit, watched two disney movies, made lunch, and basically just sat around and followed kenye while he played with his toys.

it was now 8 pm, you just ate dinner, chinese take out with kenye and you were both on the floor coloring. you heard the door open and perked up instantly. you grabbed kenye heading for the side door until you heard a voice.

“kenye! look what i have!” you hear a man say.

you try to keep quiet, still unaware of who it is, but kenye gurgles and flaps his arms around wanting to be put down. you walk towards the door and see him. lamine yamal. he was much cuter in person, and taller than you initially thought.

you set kenye down, “oh, hi, sorry i wasn’t sure who it was.” you awkwardly say.

he smiles and scans your body up and down, “it’s okay, you’re the babysitter?”

you nod, “i’m y/n, it’s nice to meet you.”

“nice to meet you too, how did you meet my mom?” lamine says while holding kenye on his hip.

“i didn’t really.” you say, biting the inside of your lip slightly, “our mom’s are friends.”

he makes an “ohh” face, “okay, did you two eat dinner yet?”

“yep, take out.” you smile, putting your hands behind your back nervously.

“oh okay,” he says turning to kenye, “time to sleep?”

kenye nods no and crosses his arms, then reaches out towards you so you can carry him. lamine leans closer to you so you can grab kenye, you accept and take him.

“he really likes you,” he says inspecting you once more, “he doesn’t really like people.”

“awe, really?” you say, flattered and share a look with kenye.

“yeah, we’ve been through like twenty babysitters because he doesn’t like any of them, that’s why i came to check in today.” lamine spoke while rubbing the back of his head.

“wow, i’m honored then.” you smile, with your finger in kenye’s hand, swinging,

“do you want to color with us?” you break the awkward silence, “we were coloring some dinosaurs before you came in.”

kenye lights up at the word “dinosaur” causing you two to laugh, “yeah, let me wash up first, i’ll be down in ten.”

“sounds good.” you say trying to sound calm even though your stomach was fluttering with butterflies.

you and kenye finish the page you were on and start new ones, you set one aside for lamine who finally came down.

“hey.” he said, stretching his muscular arms out.

his hair was wet, his abs were shimmering in the light, and his smile too cute to ignore. you accidentally stared a bit too long without saying anything, he laughed a tiny bit which cause you to quickly look away without saying anything.

“here’s yours, you can choose another if you’d like.” you softly say, passing him the cutest page which you were going to save for later, but couldn’t resist giving it to him.

“it’s cute, i’ll keep it.” he says and he sat next to you.

you could feel the heat of his body that’s how close he was, you instantly stiffened up, but continued to color.

“kenye pásame eso.” (kenye, pass me that.) lamine said, nodding his head towards a light blue color.

he nodded no and held it to his chest, you laughed, and turned to lamine, “here, use mine.”

“thanks.” he says, his fingers brushing yours as he sticks his tongue out playfully to his little brother.

you three finish coloring about twenty minutes later, kenye started to yawn and waddle towards you.

“you sleepy?” you coo to him.

he nods and you stretch your legs out in front of you before standing up and grabbing him, “let’s clean up before we brush our teeth and go to bed, yeah?”

he nods and lamine butts in, “it’s okay, i can clean up while you get him ready for bed, he seems to like you more than me.” he says while ruffling his head.

“you sure?” you adjust your grip, “i don’t want it to look like i’m not doing my job.” you smile slightly.

“yeah, it’s okay, go ahead.” lamine shoo’s you two away.

you smile on your way upstairs, you help kenye brush his teeth, change him into pajamas, and then tuck him into bed. you’re waiting for him to fall asleep like you did last night when the door opens.

“sorry, i didn’t know you were in here.” lamine whispers.

“it’s okay, just making sure he’s fully asleep.” you smile while walking towards the door.

he smiles back at you, letting you walk into the hallway, “is the guest bed okay?”

you nod right away, “it is.”

his face tenses up slightly as you speak, “oh, i know that my mom put in the old sheets, that’s why i’m asking.”

he pauses for a second, “if it’s not comfortable you can sleep in mine.” he shrugs, trying to play off his obvious attempt at asking to sleep with you.

“well, it was a little cold last night.” you smile and look up to his eyes.

he nods in acceptance, “you can change and do your things, i’ll make my bed.” he says, letting you go into the guest room.

you strip completely, putting on a cute matching pair of bra and underwear, and a pink, silk nightgown. you fix your hair up a bit, take off your jewelry, and put on some lotion.

you head out, his room door is cracked open and dimly lit with what you assume is a small lamp. you walk in and see him putting the comforter on the bed. you two make eye contact, until he breaks it.

“you mind which side i sleep on?” you say trying to make it less awkward.

“no,” he shook his head, “pick whichever side.”

you take the left side and he walks to the other, “you mind if i keep my candle on?”

“no that’s fine, what scent is it?” you ask, trying to make conversation.

“vanilla, my favorite.” he holds it, gesturing you to smell it.

you take a big sniff, “mm, smells like christmas.”

“yeah, it really does.” he lights the candle up and places it to the nightstand on his side and turns off the lamp.

you lay on your side, back facing him, but you made sure to keep some distance incase you read the situation wrong. you stare into the darkness for a bit, unable to close your eyes. then, you feel arms come around you, one under your side and the other over.

the moment you feel his arms you back your body up against his without saying a word. he places his head on top of yours and lets out a gentle breath. you hold one of his fingers with your hand and adjust your head on his pillow, falling asleep.
