"No way! I am not babysitting my sister!" I yell.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOzHpqtcfh
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fXB3uZgHA
"Do you want me to call 911?" 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaJdR8x34i
I look up at TK who was holding out his phone and I groaned.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn3YnH39LK
"I wish. The last time I did that my dad flipped his lid saying something like, 'Are you trying to ruin my career?' nonsense."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPZP7aUFuP
Yep. He's a lawyer.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9TlSO6qow
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0psxLeh3C
Believe me. I know.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDCxzM3C5f
This is going to be a long day.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjBltxNSCs
A few hours later...287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oAeeecS0C
"I want another strawberry smoothie!" screeched the hell spawn.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3o5hCud3S
"No!" I say walking passed her.
"I want a strawberry smoothie!" 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDlTfBcIB5
"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?287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7as8UT3udt
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNM2g3Wq1Y
"Shhh, its okay," the strong arms cuddled me. "Its okay,"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhBeQ4i1bU
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzLUoMqO1Z
Suddenly the noise stopped.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AXDYa7aZa
Which was odd. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIgj2miLDz
Standing up, I go the dining room area and take a peek.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbYSJDBdp3
There was Peter watching my sister sip her strawberry smoothie.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoPbCXhHzQ
"Peter?"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUaYugwG3o
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?"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslHkMGJXdj
I sniffed and wiped away the tears. "I'm fine. Thanks,"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7MeLu7Nd1
"Peter! I want another one!" screeched my sister.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASkMzxnt5x
"Where are your manners Angel!" I screamed back.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcciSwacQJ
Peter laughed at that, "Its okay. I'll get you another one,"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9etJo9ILq2
"You know you are spending your money on her," I mutter through clenched teeth.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7qk42w58F
"I don't mind," he said and took out his wallet with a huge grin.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivHZ5heOAb
I watched my sister scream with joy as TK appeared with a tray filled with smoothies, ice-scream then sighed.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5TNXTDsqz
At least she's quiet right? 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzLXirDaaj
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtFB9z9D81
"Thank you so much but I have to wake my sister and go home," I reply.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaxRvWDwuJ
Peter was shocked, "No! Don't you know its a bad idea to wake up a sleeping child?"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxVe0enKVW
I give a rueful chuckle at that.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT4yXZ79ty
"How about I help you carry her instead?"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1wOLI7qbe
Shocked, I look at his physic and got worried. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio4atBPiQu
He looked so...thin.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAi3BkDnzq
"Are you sure?" I ask.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiGOXmcZEv
He nods and proceeds to carry her with ease with a smile on his face. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1YcD60QKi
I stood looking at him in awe.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNu6yTecjK
A few minutes later...
We were walking in silence with our footsteps echoing down the streets.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2SFPWC8nO
"Look,"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0Oj5ePLVS
He looks at me in shock.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChYrPGuyhu
"I am sorry for what happened." I sigh, "I will pay you as soon as I get my next paycheck." 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28l7CqAb7O
"Oh no need," 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPisV97CwhU
I stared at him and he looked back with a grin on his face.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOlzzCb89P
"Are you serious?"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELcGqONmGO
"Yep. You don't have to do that. Besides, your sister's cute when she's silent,"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrZV6KepuJ
I blink twice and look away in shame.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhr7VcEVDv
"Besides, I should apologize for my behavior today. I shouldn't have done that."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI8tlnfS0y
I heaved a huge sigh of relief.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnKnvLwdmY
"But I really want to take you out for dinner," 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJAGQ7z7LD
I nudged him playfully and look away.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxGyxUwTr1
Why?287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaAehKPahX
I was speechless. No one had ever asked me out on a date before. Maybe I was acting like a dick to him?287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuZ5F4LVzH
"I am sorry Peter but I am not interested in dating anyone,"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28UKQQ8dFH
He looked sad and I felt sorry for him.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VyPTLDcja
"But lets be friends instead. Is that good enough for you?"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAL2VhXbS9
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKY1bH8NQS
The scene was so cute.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAjalIzZIz
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ804ZcaIwGg
My sister did look cute when she was quiet.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bK8mrdXO8
