"No way! I am not babysitting my sister!" I yell.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1fADmwcN1
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. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnmL1r5NRg
"Do you want me to call 911?" 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG94fYOet9Q
I look up at TK who was holding out his phone and I groaned.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2tx1BEVNm
"I wish. The last time I did that my dad flipped his lid saying something like, 'Are you trying to ruin my career?' nonsense."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0O1tlbhOn
Yep. He's a lawyer.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE4H8FBlPD
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W7Or18sXP
Believe me. I know.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tVA6wYgp2
This is going to be a long day.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uWsnwPcD9
A few hours later...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTVbPk8Dvn
"I want another strawberry smoothie!" screeched the hell spawn.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFnF8bJiX9
"No!" I say walking passed her.
"I want a strawberry smoothie!" 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EjR44WPgA
"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?342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgBYf70pPe
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsgOtXNlzH
"Shhh, its okay," the strong arms cuddled me. "Its okay,"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG0Ja7PwnK
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk61VgwyaEr
Suddenly the noise stopped.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6o9gQaKlO
Which was odd. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2SuC0Ggs0
Standing up, I go the dining room area and take a peek.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M1ujPLSzx
There was Peter watching my sister sip her strawberry smoothie.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrFPKZnflw
"Peter?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZqIIr8c40
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?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1a4FzuBmi
I sniffed and wiped away the tears. "I'm fine. Thanks,"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaRpx8FqlH
"Peter! I want another one!" screeched my sister.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV76M3gkWtN
"Where are your manners Angel!" I screamed back.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjm8UA67db
Peter laughed at that, "Its okay. I'll get you another one,"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr3JPPqltz
"You know you are spending your money on her," I mutter through clenched teeth.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVAY3o8Q3I
"I don't mind," he said and took out his wallet with a huge grin.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1AzFq1QOq
I watched my sister scream with joy as TK appeared with a tray filled with smoothies, ice-scream then sighed.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7gKvNfy1T
At least she's quiet right? 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBtyWbW6iK
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOyKrbCma5
"Thank you so much but I have to wake my sister and go home," I reply.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQBV9QMg3B
Peter was shocked, "No! Don't you know its a bad idea to wake up a sleeping child?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkOMgOV1gr
I give a rueful chuckle at that.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7wX2tdNK5
"How about I help you carry her instead?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mmu7vkDzi
Shocked, I look at his physic and got worried. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh6tzuRPpx
He looked so...thin.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DWAbECjFl
"Are you sure?" I ask.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz3aesXL0M
He nods and proceeds to carry her with ease with a smile on his face. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6vvPECVPN
I stood looking at him in awe.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LlrASMErT
A few minutes later...
We were walking in silence with our footsteps echoing down the streets.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB5hldjuI3
"Look,"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRylmCqkc9
He looks at me in shock.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgQm9HIoNX
"I am sorry for what happened." I sigh, "I will pay you as soon as I get my next paycheck." 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWicL4Qmum
"Oh no need," 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIoZ05IQV4
I stared at him and he looked back with a grin on his face.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5WaxLaFVE
"Are you serious?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWrlvnbrre
"Yep. You don't have to do that. Besides, your sister's cute when she's silent,"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JGRTxUQof
I blink twice and look away in shame.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVVJZpwhfs
"Besides, I should apologize for my behavior today. I shouldn't have done that."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLDUMQB6vs
I heaved a huge sigh of relief.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULLsBIZtaU
"But I really want to take you out for dinner," 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtanHyPUuie
I nudged him playfully and look away.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1odQ9lSMWV
Why?342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVu9uZXJNI
I was speechless. No one had ever asked me out on a date before. Maybe I was acting like a dick to him?342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXFEz3Q6T6
"I am sorry Peter but I am not interested in dating anyone,"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8waeAyEWI
He looked sad and I felt sorry for him.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK6ZkBc4Kl
"But lets be friends instead. Is that good enough for you?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryum1YrWp3
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. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOkGS05n1E
The scene was so cute.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfLjXXE245
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. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsbVj9wjPc
My sister did look cute when she was quiet.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zsGxZe7kj
