“Yeah we get it,” Iris huffed irritated that her evening had been ruined by the annoying rug rat.

“Come here kid,” Jaime inclined her head to the boy.

Moving forward he cuddled into her lap “you’re not mad at me?”

“Nope,” she shook her head “just promise you won’t tell your parents what you saw us doing.”

“That’s different,” Willow pushed Iris away putting an end to their impromptu makeout session. “They’re his parents not his sisters.”

“We’re not his sisters,” Jaime pointed out reluctantly moving her hand from Basil’s leg.

“Yuck,” Finnegan exclaimed upon opening the door and finding Iris and Jaime lip locked with Basil and Willow on the porch.

“Go away kid,” Basil grumbled distractedly by the hand Jaime had on his thigh.

One little kid makes a good chaperone or at least that’s what his parents are hoping. The next chapter of Not So Ordinary Life is available. It’ll be added to the queue but if you want to read it now just go to my WP Blog.

Jaime leaned into Basil resting her head on his shoulder. “I hope they fall madly in love and have the biggest wedding ever.”

“Not likely,” Basil mumbled, “we have to conserve our resources not squander them on frivolous things.”

“Good thing you’re not the group leader,” Willow groaned, shaking her head at her twin.

Andrew looked out the window keeping a watchful eye on the teenagers. “Let them be,” Charlie said, taking him by the shoulders and turning him away.

“They’re too young…”

“Isn’t that just adorable,” Jaime asked sitting beside Basil on the bench.

“What?” he grunted scooting over to give her more room.

“Your brother” she nodded towards where Chelsea and Gabriel were walking in the moonlight.

“I guess,” he shrugged uninterested in his brother’s love life.

“You can do better than that,” Iris snorted joining them on the porch followed shortly by Willow.

“I think it’s romantic,” Jaime sighed.

“Me too,” Willow added, leaning into Iris who wrapped an arm around her.

Chelsea tried to pretend she wasn’t disrupting his class and that the older girls weren’t talking about them. No doubt they were talking about why she was there and whether she liked their teacher. The answer was yes. Yes she did, there was something in his eyes that drew her to him.. “Can we talk for a moment?” she asked leaning in close so as not to be overheard.

It was a pointless gesture as the class erupted in oh’s and ahs’. “Class “ Gabriel snapped “continue reading. Willow take charge while I talk to Ms Robinson.”

Nodding Willow stood taking a position in front of the class as the younger kids continued to read.

Motioning for Chelsea to follow him Gabriel led her outside. “Is something wrong?” he asked.

“Oh no,” she shook her head, “my brother loves it here. Coming to school.” She bit her lip as she realized her hand was touching his. “Um I…wanted to see if you would like to come to supper.” She stepped back putting space between them “Logan and Azalea will be there also” she added as if she were afraid he’d say no if it were just them and the kids.
