"No way! I am not babysitting my sister!" I yell.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nLY3xbXcp
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. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnD41pdGw7
"Do you want me to call 911?" 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXG7UCuCRL
I look up at TK who was holding out his phone and I groaned.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyliqMSg47
"I wish. The last time I did that my dad flipped his lid saying something like, 'Are you trying to ruin my career?' nonsense."356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI5CUEstBC
Yep. He's a lawyer.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvm5EXn5rU
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4raJUOgQmm
Believe me. I know.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcRB2QCeZQ
This is going to be a long day.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dkkrpfYiU
A few hours later...356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDOePA9J3e
"I want another strawberry smoothie!" screeched the hell spawn.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzr0v0zCyk
"No!" I say walking passed her.
"I want a strawberry smoothie!" 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeanCr5grn
"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?356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjVgEn3GbL
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHOFdaovUg
"Shhh, its okay," the strong arms cuddled me. "Its okay,"356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZDruWK3Es
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDwROMiIQe
Suddenly the noise stopped.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wUwZbz8f6
Which was odd. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSh02XcPdE
Standing up, I go the dining room area and take a peek.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmTIGHGIJG
There was Peter watching my sister sip her strawberry smoothie.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS0njHQ2qC
"Peter?"356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBon8WH8rl
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?"356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA18jx432U7
I sniffed and wiped away the tears. "I'm fine. Thanks,"356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5iEG4Bm2t
"Peter! I want another one!" screeched my sister.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjcolayxLg
"Where are your manners Angel!" I screamed back.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosxbGr041K
Peter laughed at that, "Its okay. I'll get you another one,"356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO07bLW5ZZ
"You know you are spending your money on her," I mutter through clenched teeth.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3h1H8HoiK
"I don't mind," he said and took out his wallet with a huge grin.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkjWlqpow9
I watched my sister scream with joy as TK appeared with a tray filled with smoothies, ice-scream then sighed.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z7BH0M7ss
At least she's quiet right? 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMsfIfYfr1
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvtKUjaQNj
"Thank you so much but I have to wake my sister and go home," I reply.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc0z8UFrET
Peter was shocked, "No! Don't you know its a bad idea to wake up a sleeping child?"356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDHGNjIuhO
I give a rueful chuckle at that.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIk3cHgk5e
"How about I help you carry her instead?"356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBtgu0NGfd
Shocked, I look at his physic and got worried. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNULm8wNwJ
He looked so...thin.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQfVSx2vMa
"Are you sure?" I ask.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FaN72slSJ
He nods and proceeds to carry her with ease with a smile on his face. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNeTbxmPEv
I stood looking at him in awe.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaNlbMhxs4
A few minutes later...
We were walking in silence with our footsteps echoing down the streets.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lhmAXwlqE
"Look,"356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotNcSjlgv9
He looks at me in shock.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yXCHaDeLw
"I am sorry for what happened." I sigh, "I will pay you as soon as I get my next paycheck." 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeWDm3zkwq
"Oh no need," 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmo8e4io3N
I stared at him and he looked back with a grin on his face.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1iYXXdDoO
"Are you serious?"356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mO3E3AAZm
"Yep. You don't have to do that. Besides, your sister's cute when she's silent,"356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7qBYqHtKD
I blink twice and look away in shame.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS2QoaKllS
"Besides, I should apologize for my behavior today. I shouldn't have done that."356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpQH3lJxTR
I heaved a huge sigh of relief.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6nD6iSzQo
"But I really want to take you out for dinner," 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3c50zpegC
I nudged him playfully and look away.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2NPnvl4Y9
Why?356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs2p45Jvqr
I was speechless. No one had ever asked me out on a date before. Maybe I was acting like a dick to him?356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYlsPthfYn
"I am sorry Peter but I am not interested in dating anyone,"356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJWA5SzByN
He looked sad and I felt sorry for him.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rd5blUrYy
"But lets be friends instead. Is that good enough for you?"356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PbJRWdeHX
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. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYkrwdQJDQ
The scene was so cute.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g0JJgK7EO
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. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0DV5ZIA5N
My sister did look cute when she was quiet.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jeWQ8Fl9Y
