"No way! I am not babysitting my sister!" I yell.292Please respect copyright.PENANAquYJaZdC4D
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. 292Please respect copyright.PENANAGjYJAxmBF9
"Do you want me to call 911?" 292Please respect copyright.PENANAIl149WNSbJ
I look up at TK who was holding out his phone and I groaned.292Please respect copyright.PENANAVxaDB5ZZXa
"I wish. The last time I did that my dad flipped his lid saying something like, 'Are you trying to ruin my career?' nonsense."292Please respect copyright.PENANA0hPGM93AT2
Yep. He's a lawyer.292Please respect copyright.PENANAebgvMlHeqy
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.292Please respect copyright.PENANA8gZyRL2J8W
Believe me. I know.292Please respect copyright.PENANAVwyoOONNSA
This is going to be a long day.292Please respect copyright.PENANADznuZNnbWF
A few hours later...292Please respect copyright.PENANASb6mEADUFx
"I want another strawberry smoothie!" screeched the hell spawn.292Please respect copyright.PENANAU0md3V2mCF
"No!" I say walking passed her.
"I want a strawberry smoothie!" 292Please respect copyright.PENANACSzo4CeZ8c
"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?292Please respect copyright.PENANAGGve2Pm7LE
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.292Please respect copyright.PENANAktqI5uKLys
"Shhh, its okay," the strong arms cuddled me. "Its okay,"292Please respect copyright.PENANAvTqFVaX5fs
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.292Please respect copyright.PENANAevgN2fc8vp
Suddenly the noise stopped.292Please respect copyright.PENANA6CHQ5vSLbs
Which was odd. 292Please respect copyright.PENANAH1oTBTODO0
Standing up, I go the dining room area and take a peek.292Please respect copyright.PENANAr6qvfQZjrL
There was Peter watching my sister sip her strawberry smoothie.292Please respect copyright.PENANAeTMCdGJeJU
"Peter?"292Please respect copyright.PENANATK2zV9S5sW
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?"292Please respect copyright.PENANA8IoY1gPSsP
I sniffed and wiped away the tears. "I'm fine. Thanks,"292Please respect copyright.PENANAiX56SVyvSx
"Peter! I want another one!" screeched my sister.292Please respect copyright.PENANAHEo3bPS9FR
"Where are your manners Angel!" I screamed back.292Please respect copyright.PENANA00Hylk2A9A
Peter laughed at that, "Its okay. I'll get you another one,"292Please respect copyright.PENANA2WUNYL6vaQ
"You know you are spending your money on her," I mutter through clenched teeth.292Please respect copyright.PENANA9Bw9aONo0I
"I don't mind," he said and took out his wallet with a huge grin.292Please respect copyright.PENANAcht7VclTYz
I watched my sister scream with joy as TK appeared with a tray filled with smoothies, ice-scream then sighed.292Please respect copyright.PENANAjY73h6WmqH
At least she's quiet right? 292Please respect copyright.PENANA5tNSA6NuJH
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.292Please respect copyright.PENANAiO3xu2vcTQ
"Thank you so much but I have to wake my sister and go home," I reply.292Please respect copyright.PENANAy6b25PQTiX
Peter was shocked, "No! Don't you know its a bad idea to wake up a sleeping child?"292Please respect copyright.PENANAaUAaupc3Se
I give a rueful chuckle at that.292Please respect copyright.PENANAB1pBv288N2
"How about I help you carry her instead?"292Please respect copyright.PENANA02qJCSzwUF
Shocked, I look at his physic and got worried. 292Please respect copyright.PENANAzDthLzQ23J
He looked so...thin.292Please respect copyright.PENANArEMgAbSDIP
"Are you sure?" I ask.292Please respect copyright.PENANAnKZAKuGQnO
He nods and proceeds to carry her with ease with a smile on his face. 292Please respect copyright.PENANAzRNp8PxOpc
I stood looking at him in awe.292Please respect copyright.PENANANpO9pAOWB8
A few minutes later...
We were walking in silence with our footsteps echoing down the streets.292Please respect copyright.PENANAlhx7czkL5X
"Look,"292Please respect copyright.PENANAKSevG6MgLM
He looks at me in shock.292Please respect copyright.PENANAPJpJjJYj4J
"I am sorry for what happened." I sigh, "I will pay you as soon as I get my next paycheck." 292Please respect copyright.PENANAwcotpWeMTH
"Oh no need," 292Please respect copyright.PENANAwttBRPw3TU
I stared at him and he looked back with a grin on his face.292Please respect copyright.PENANAKlDrG7IR2A
"Are you serious?"292Please respect copyright.PENANADsb2MDew9f
"Yep. You don't have to do that. Besides, your sister's cute when she's silent,"292Please respect copyright.PENANA3OBAULImjX
I blink twice and look away in shame.292Please respect copyright.PENANAMNyVr1BWjq
"Besides, I should apologize for my behavior today. I shouldn't have done that."292Please respect copyright.PENANARUnfr5B8NZ
I heaved a huge sigh of relief.292Please respect copyright.PENANA6wGF9zkA4O
"But I really want to take you out for dinner," 292Please respect copyright.PENANALtK676x8Wz
I nudged him playfully and look away.292Please respect copyright.PENANArjUADyJdGi
Why?292Please respect copyright.PENANAv27nmMOyts
I was speechless. No one had ever asked me out on a date before. Maybe I was acting like a dick to him?292Please respect copyright.PENANAcKYnlmhtlZ
"I am sorry Peter but I am not interested in dating anyone,"292Please respect copyright.PENANA6EUjqpNB11
He looked sad and I felt sorry for him.292Please respect copyright.PENANAJwsmAyRXl7
"But lets be friends instead. Is that good enough for you?"292Please respect copyright.PENANAJgRrKrzNfH
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. 292Please respect copyright.PENANAKxNA6xV5os
The scene was so cute.292Please respect copyright.PENANAp6D3CIiJBv
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. 292Please respect copyright.PENANAE9dLL1EQRr
My sister did look cute when she was quiet.292Please respect copyright.PENANAZerixYMiV1
