"No way! I am not babysitting my sister!" I yell.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM2agbfA77
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. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JvjEAX4fl
"Do you want me to call 911?" 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx2mWxa9bG
I look up at TK who was holding out his phone and I groaned.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtFUoSPw7R
"I wish. The last time I did that my dad flipped his lid saying something like, 'Are you trying to ruin my career?' nonsense."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oknwoLgP3
Yep. He's a lawyer.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVlkm40Dbb
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.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LMGi5CFsj
Believe me. I know.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGYvHpFVNc
This is going to be a long day.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18GZrL9Tdr
A few hours later...286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9j4ak6nAk
"I want another strawberry smoothie!" screeched the hell spawn.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeqnBKtLhX
"No!" I say walking passed her.
"I want a strawberry smoothie!" 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW8MGggdfw
"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?286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh4J8LQp35
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.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QKsTl26UY
"Shhh, its okay," the strong arms cuddled me. "Its okay,"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiOasx4yJW
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.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsvTTlr9eh
Suddenly the noise stopped.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWO62PaJEx
Which was odd. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQq1cHvMgV
Standing up, I go the dining room area and take a peek.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKWgHyb2WM
There was Peter watching my sister sip her strawberry smoothie.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY5SDHkZ6T
"Peter?"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBbf98vfuu
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?"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdb2xrQ1Jh
I sniffed and wiped away the tears. "I'm fine. Thanks,"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19LO4UkXyH
"Peter! I want another one!" screeched my sister.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRho9ZxSKz
"Where are your manners Angel!" I screamed back.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS6nrNOVWX
Peter laughed at that, "Its okay. I'll get you another one,"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GRQiBwRjC
"You know you are spending your money on her," I mutter through clenched teeth.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNulRXcvWp
"I don't mind," he said and took out his wallet with a huge grin.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhVgMcn3qw
I watched my sister scream with joy as TK appeared with a tray filled with smoothies, ice-scream then sighed.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6nTjIafgH
At least she's quiet right? 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt0I57TvYO
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.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhd4fWs3uI
"Thank you so much but I have to wake my sister and go home," I reply.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfQTZsyZfd
Peter was shocked, "No! Don't you know its a bad idea to wake up a sleeping child?"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHf8JatQyV
I give a rueful chuckle at that.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sebkFqSn1
"How about I help you carry her instead?"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPdlwhvxTp
Shocked, I look at his physic and got worried. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQrkErrX0u
He looked so...thin.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEpMFJmL43
"Are you sure?" I ask.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04mNvtqcAX
He nods and proceeds to carry her with ease with a smile on his face. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4M81JVUIg
I stood looking at him in awe.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzxTQ1rGRg
A few minutes later...
We were walking in silence with our footsteps echoing down the streets.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsZjXJt61H
"Look,"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWa27IcTq6
He looks at me in shock.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTsOYrzJMw
"I am sorry for what happened." I sigh, "I will pay you as soon as I get my next paycheck." 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DN0u6BQfd
"Oh no need," 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE5t6cMqiU
I stared at him and he looked back with a grin on his face.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBwIiyxfrZ
"Are you serious?"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5eSbdkxpB
"Yep. You don't have to do that. Besides, your sister's cute when she's silent,"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdocBZhcmLi
I blink twice and look away in shame.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFvZUqu1BT
"Besides, I should apologize for my behavior today. I shouldn't have done that."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwcd5HqoLa
I heaved a huge sigh of relief.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxJZU68T2O
"But I really want to take you out for dinner," 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfOGPSXEVF
I nudged him playfully and look away.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKPyjnZ8S8
Why?286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv3bKaWcf0
I was speechless. No one had ever asked me out on a date before. Maybe I was acting like a dick to him?286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr74lb6uG0A
"I am sorry Peter but I am not interested in dating anyone,"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtibjnzhAv
He looked sad and I felt sorry for him.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuIwIpHQkR
"But lets be friends instead. Is that good enough for you?"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1yebBGEEz
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. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz6WMVemie
The scene was so cute.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQviwHdVxe
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. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYuA4CuQQa
My sister did look cute when she was quiet.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7sg4GWTT9
