Arabella Quinn is a very loved caregiver at sunshine valley. Everyone loves her, even people who don't think they are capable of love anymore. Everyone also loves her hugs. They say she gives the best hugs in the world.
August Evans is a vet. A ver...
After both of us took a shower and changed into comfortable clothes we decided to watch a movie. Well, he's watching a movie. I'm cooking. I won't let him into the kitchen and he's pouting about it. I'm not making anything too fancy but I've found it's easier to make a meal with people who know how to make it already. And auggie can't make baked ziti so I sent him away. I put it in the oven and set a timer then I heard the doorbell. I looked down at my clothes. Blue crop top and shorts to match.

I look over at auggie and see him in a black t-shirt and grey joggers. "Auggie! Can you get that?" I hear him grunt and open the door. "Is Arabella Quinn here?" I look around the corner and see my mom. I make my way over and see a black zip up hoodie on the couch.
I quickly grab it and put it on. I know it's Auggie's but I need to be a little more covered than I am. I don't hear him say anything but I see him step to the side and let her in. "Hi mom" She sees me and gasps. "What are you wearing?" I simply smile at her and ignore that question. "What are you doing here?" She walks toward me and says, "you weren't answering your phone. I just wanted to stop by and see how you were doing" I furrow my brows. She never "just stopped by" when I was living by myself. "Did Isabel tell you something?" She looks shocked.
To the untrained eye.
To me, her daughter I know that she's not. Not at all shocked. "Isabel was here? She didn't tell me" Now I know that they talked. "Mom. I can only assume she told you the house was nice and that auggie was attractive so," I turn my body halfway and show her August. "This is August" Then I turn and point to the living room. "And this is our house"I smile at her and hear August snicker.
"Arabella! I don't know if it's this boy but that was very disrespectful. I'm extremely upset by these accusations" I sigh and look down. I was a bit rude. For no reason at all. I look back up at her and begin apologizing. "I'm sorry mo-" Before I can even get my whole sentence out there's another knock on the door. I hear auggie groan. I look back and nod. This is too much for both of us. I walk over and open it. "Yes?" The doctor gives me a confused look. "Are you okay?" I nod my head and let him in.
"Auggie, your doctor is here" I walk back to my mom. "Mom listen. I apologize for what I said but august's doctor is here and they have a few things to go over so it would probably be best if you came by another time" She sighs and says her goodbyes.
"So, usually I would come by earlier in the day but today was a busy day." We both nod. "I'm gonna go check on dinner" As I walk away I hear the doctor explain a few things to August. - After about 15 minutes the doctor leaves. "Hey, just in time. Dinner is done" He looks over at me and smiles. "It smells really good" I smile. "Hopefully you're a better cook than you are a driver" He smirks at me and my smile drops. "Hey! I'm a great driver!" He laughs at me and walks away.
Am I really that bad? No one has ever told me I'm a bad driver. Then again not a lot of people have been in my car. We sit down and I give him a full plate. He never ate a lot at sunshine but I'm going to assume it was because the food there was gross. I take a bite and close my eyes. I love cheese. I open my eyes and see him staring at me. "What?" He shakes his head. "Nothing"
After that we eat in silence. Both of us ended up getting a second plate. - After dinner I begin cleaning everything up and putting away the leftovers when I feel arms wrap around my waist. "Dinner was delicious" I smile and lean into him. We stand there for a couple more minutes before a yawn erupts from my mouth. This causes him to turn me around. "I thought you were staying up with me?" I nod my head. "I am" He simply shakes his head. "No. You're tired. You're gonna be out like a light as soon as we sit down and relax"
He's probably right. I'm only a little tired though. I know I can stay up with him. It won't be hard. "I can do this" He gives me a look and walks away. I watch him leave before going back to the dishes.
