"No way! I am not babysitting my sister!" I yell.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHLDHXPs7Q
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. 290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1BKZKzk4J
"Do you want me to call 911?" 290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXIf3oVxkV
I look up at TK who was holding out his phone and I groaned.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADSerWitnZ
"I wish. The last time I did that my dad flipped his lid saying something like, 'Are you trying to ruin my career?' nonsense."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDwu75X14R
Yep. He's a lawyer.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdP8bhIcsD
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbju9kXkyU7
Believe me. I know.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yi7huwwJt
This is going to be a long day.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyibfWx69N
A few hours later...290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacG1bfvURK
"I want another strawberry smoothie!" screeched the hell spawn.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BwiddbVoM
"No!" I say walking passed her.
"I want a strawberry smoothie!" 290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP5XAsy9RQ
"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?290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc3IKNgDOQ
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRakYzKpaJ
"Shhh, its okay," the strong arms cuddled me. "Its okay,"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEXeXNUm0n
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT0iUrifhv
Suddenly the noise stopped.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKv6xUIGEu
Which was odd. 290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXOYvLCcLG
Standing up, I go the dining room area and take a peek.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOXSCMorxP
There was Peter watching my sister sip her strawberry smoothie.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NK23rXoud
"Peter?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitLl6KreoE
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?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2ZvzPLbtM
I sniffed and wiped away the tears. "I'm fine. Thanks,"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmLSmR9g7s
"Peter! I want another one!" screeched my sister.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFqwviikET
"Where are your manners Angel!" I screamed back.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuUviQtbi3
Peter laughed at that, "Its okay. I'll get you another one,"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBU7q2b2Gi
"You know you are spending your money on her," I mutter through clenched teeth.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr7L9ZXOf4
"I don't mind," he said and took out his wallet with a huge grin.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisRl9ssfVV
I watched my sister scream with joy as TK appeared with a tray filled with smoothies, ice-scream then sighed.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56BB7uPEcD
At least she's quiet right? 290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXIgVP6Yug
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ521LDOHblh
"Thank you so much but I have to wake my sister and go home," I reply.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVP6Mwr0bK
Peter was shocked, "No! Don't you know its a bad idea to wake up a sleeping child?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kKVE91DhT
I give a rueful chuckle at that.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCCbuJFwuM
"How about I help you carry her instead?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH8pcHRsZ4
Shocked, I look at his physic and got worried. 290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZsA1IcQNj
He looked so...thin.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir85zvOC8M
"Are you sure?" I ask.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrRXHATRnm
He nods and proceeds to carry her with ease with a smile on his face. 290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9UeiWJ24e
I stood looking at him in awe.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeAnVTUVf7
A few minutes later...
We were walking in silence with our footsteps echoing down the streets.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9YB4DgYmW
"Look,"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35gdqFARmm
He looks at me in shock.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvhhB9Xivs
"I am sorry for what happened." I sigh, "I will pay you as soon as I get my next paycheck." 290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaTNCdR6pc
"Oh no need," 290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvidYLCnJcI
I stared at him and he looked back with a grin on his face.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJwuzgRp7B
"Are you serious?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnG6b9wRpr
"Yep. You don't have to do that. Besides, your sister's cute when she's silent,"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErv5lVHwwd
I blink twice and look away in shame.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXMk5klzkU
"Besides, I should apologize for my behavior today. I shouldn't have done that."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnhTQx0JcS
I heaved a huge sigh of relief.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa45UfKzpZ
"But I really want to take you out for dinner," 290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZN5EfBa7Q
I nudged him playfully and look away.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnnlIYMBjg
Why?290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Wl10Sxsv
I was speechless. No one had ever asked me out on a date before. Maybe I was acting like a dick to him?290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSThtv6XbS9
"I am sorry Peter but I am not interested in dating anyone,"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KuvcpkTq6
He looked sad and I felt sorry for him.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCJMoiEpAv
"But lets be friends instead. Is that good enough for you?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocI0igSOQT
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. 290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sUKtddNr8
The scene was so cute.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpDO9WQSrs
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. 290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pA4Fw1NUv
My sister did look cute when she was quiet.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJNEMg0fCo
