"No way! I am not babysitting my sister!" I yell.310Please respect copyright.PENANANJghaLdlle
My mother just waved her hand dismissively and ran straight to the taxi. Before I could catch up, it drove away leaving me coughing in the dust. 310Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ4uFCs4gU
"Do you want me to call 911?" 310Please respect copyright.PENANAXFNrI0OfzK
I look up at TK who was holding out his phone and I groaned.310Please respect copyright.PENANAXnfuMHjF20
"I wish. The last time I did that my dad flipped his lid saying something like, 'Are you trying to ruin my career?' nonsense."310Please respect copyright.PENANACaAiqamkHP
Yep. He's a lawyer.310Please respect copyright.PENANAIFOsYNXEDJ
I hear a crash inside the diner and rush in to see my sister and another kid wailing and a mess on the floor. It was clear my sister tried to take a customers ice sundae and when she failed, she threw a tantrum and upset the kids dessert.310Please respect copyright.PENANAiVcyW4No8p
Believe me. I know.310Please respect copyright.PENANANmSV1rv3Lq
This is going to be a long day.310Please respect copyright.PENANAMsRakfsrAu
A few hours later...310Please respect copyright.PENANAxTHXSw2NzA
"I want another strawberry smoothie!" screeched the hell spawn.310Please respect copyright.PENANArctANAFtjS
"No!" I say walking passed her.
"I want a strawberry smoothie!" 310Please respect copyright.PENANAbAu1HDcjUK
"I can't give you that! Its coming out of my pocket and you know it."
"I don't care! I want a strawberry smoothie!"
For the past few hours, she has ran around the diner, making customers who were eating uncomfortable, tried to get her hands on the smoothie machine, threw two tantrums over me not giving her the ice-cream sundae and tried to steal one from another customer. I tried playing the 'ignore-her-until-she-shuts-up' card and it backfires for she gave an ear piercing scream which annoyed the other customers. Pissed, I tried calling my dad but he was radio silent. My mom refused to pick up her phone and my older sister was off no help.
Did I forget to mention that the smoothies I bought for this little monster was out of my pocket?310Please respect copyright.PENANA4VArkrCP3n
Ugh!
"I WANT A STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE!" she screamed banging her fists on the table while I was attending to another table, "I WANT A STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE! I WANT IT! I WANT IT! I WANT IT!"
"Fifteen more minutes," I muttered scribbling the customers order, "Fifteen more minutes,"
"Y/N!" a huge voice bellowed.
I cringe and look back at my boss who had a pissed look on her face.
"GET THIS MONSTER OUT OF HERE OR YOU'RE FIRED!" he yelled.
All this time, my sister was still throwing a tantrum. I storm over to her and slam my hand on the table.
"Listen you little monster, all the sweets I have been giving you has been coming out of my paycheck so I can't afford to give you another smoothie understand?" I yell.
"If you don't give me a smoothie I will go to the cops and tell them you have been illegally touching me when I take a bath!" she screamed back.
I lost it. I would have strangled her right there and then if a pair of strong arms didn't grab me.
"LET ME AT HER! LET ME AT HER! I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF I GO TO PRISON FOR FIRST DEGREE MURDER! LET ME AT HER!"
I was kicking and screaming as the strong arms took me into the employee lounge. Tired and mentally exhausted, I collapsed on the chair and start sobbing.310Please respect copyright.PENANAxHJdcvMSQn
"Shhh, its okay," the strong arms cuddled me. "Its okay,"310Please respect copyright.PENANAyBTls6ponQ
It wasn't. I could still hear that monster screaming her lungs out and my boss was calling my name. TK left me alone to handle the chaos and I groaned knowing fully well he would end up spending money on that girl.310Please respect copyright.PENANA9DWqU48PrH
Suddenly the noise stopped.310Please respect copyright.PENANA9qgAnxHgzd
Which was odd. 310Please respect copyright.PENANAsWCntCp8wP
Standing up, I go the dining room area and take a peek.310Please respect copyright.PENANA5oXiKRATHn
There was Peter watching my sister sip her strawberry smoothie.310Please respect copyright.PENANAza35v2nJvv
"Peter?"310Please respect copyright.PENANA9TUl18Ewlj
He looked up at me and grinned, "Hi Y/N?" then his grin turned to that of concern, "Gosh! You look terrible. Are you okay?"310Please respect copyright.PENANAgoQQOSTVfe
I sniffed and wiped away the tears. "I'm fine. Thanks,"310Please respect copyright.PENANAMC0HR8Vhnv
"Peter! I want another one!" screeched my sister.310Please respect copyright.PENANAM7do4Gbl9S
"Where are your manners Angel!" I screamed back.310Please respect copyright.PENANAoJAQXaI82e
Peter laughed at that, "Its okay. I'll get you another one,"310Please respect copyright.PENANA4522vduLfl
"You know you are spending your money on her," I mutter through clenched teeth.310Please respect copyright.PENANAwALZADcXup
"I don't mind," he said and took out his wallet with a huge grin.310Please respect copyright.PENANAbYtKxDPNsP
I watched my sister scream with joy as TK appeared with a tray filled with smoothies, ice-scream then sighed.310Please respect copyright.PENANAySww8Quxpe
At least she's quiet right? 310Please respect copyright.PENANAtvRZ585IlJ
Peter stayed with my sister feeding and entertaining her until she fell asleep. I had just finished cleaning up when he volunteered to walk me and my sister her.310Please respect copyright.PENANALCKUeXz3WJ
"Thank you so much but I have to wake my sister and go home," I reply.310Please respect copyright.PENANApX7zbPPIhi
Peter was shocked, "No! Don't you know its a bad idea to wake up a sleeping child?"310Please respect copyright.PENANArEkPqATRuI
I give a rueful chuckle at that.310Please respect copyright.PENANA8g4MtNBhyg
"How about I help you carry her instead?"310Please respect copyright.PENANAcCfitfy8lH
Shocked, I look at his physic and got worried. 310Please respect copyright.PENANAC0VgqHj5Zk
He looked so...thin.310Please respect copyright.PENANAvyw1pznn7o
"Are you sure?" I ask.310Please respect copyright.PENANA6lFuVT28bM
He nods and proceeds to carry her with ease with a smile on his face. 310Please respect copyright.PENANAglNVx4auql
I stood looking at him in awe.310Please respect copyright.PENANA5ujZ5EBUt3
A few minutes later...
We were walking in silence with our footsteps echoing down the streets.310Please respect copyright.PENANANA4CGuKcDw
"Look,"310Please respect copyright.PENANAZUG3BcRK0x
He looks at me in shock.310Please respect copyright.PENANAf9qSK2WfL9
"I am sorry for what happened." I sigh, "I will pay you as soon as I get my next paycheck." 310Please respect copyright.PENANA3BuZp7vh7Y
"Oh no need," 310Please respect copyright.PENANAmcdA9FVY3J
I stared at him and he looked back with a grin on his face.310Please respect copyright.PENANAJs8zXL4px6
"Are you serious?"310Please respect copyright.PENANA8nVDb3D2Ef
"Yep. You don't have to do that. Besides, your sister's cute when she's silent,"310Please respect copyright.PENANAiDJDgGrxAD
I blink twice and look away in shame.310Please respect copyright.PENANA0GgzzTS0gD
"Besides, I should apologize for my behavior today. I shouldn't have done that."310Please respect copyright.PENANAKo8qbzAVqB
I heaved a huge sigh of relief.310Please respect copyright.PENANAexhpczZ7GB
"But I really want to take you out for dinner," 310Please respect copyright.PENANAiHnHwhDAEI
I nudged him playfully and look away.310Please respect copyright.PENANApHiQEeVnCk
Why?310Please respect copyright.PENANATwBQxkbWyi
I was speechless. No one had ever asked me out on a date before. Maybe I was acting like a dick to him?310Please respect copyright.PENANA5r4aCqP2R8
"I am sorry Peter but I am not interested in dating anyone,"310Please respect copyright.PENANArfTnOFZLqM
He looked sad and I felt sorry for him.310Please respect copyright.PENANAkmoZnBGM7y
"But lets be friends instead. Is that good enough for you?"310Please respect copyright.PENANA5osJKzclru
He gave me a wide smile and nodded. My sister stirred in his arms and he shook her whispering nonsense as she snuggled in his arms. 310Please respect copyright.PENANAX0IpuRBsCX
The scene was so cute.310Please respect copyright.PENANAUsON5mZZNx
We get home and he left after putting my sister to sleep because my dad was around eating Chinese takeaway. He didn't order mine of course so I buy mine eat and go to my room to do my homework. As I did it, my mind flashed back to the part where he was rocking my sister to sleep and blushed.
He was right. 310Please respect copyright.PENANAo4SULZndsG
My sister did look cute when she was quiet.310Please respect copyright.PENANAcpgpevhA65
