"No way! I am not babysitting my sister!" I yell.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCIHt98XiB
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. 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkqFs346B2
"Do you want me to call 911?" 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wOg3sEVCA
I look up at TK who was holding out his phone and I groaned.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6EQ1sKO9k
"I wish. The last time I did that my dad flipped his lid saying something like, 'Are you trying to ruin my career?' nonsense."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb8nP57WDO
Yep. He's a lawyer.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hp3mpQEaX
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.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAHF7enDk7
Believe me. I know.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacsvopbzpD
This is going to be a long day.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vDGBQ3V8X
A few hours later...266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvxDrXs7EX
"I want another strawberry smoothie!" screeched the hell spawn.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6QWKavfOQ
"No!" I say walking passed her.
"I want a strawberry smoothie!" 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgoquooUcp
"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?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5fkGs9AhN
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.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtoPPF3224
"Shhh, its okay," the strong arms cuddled me. "Its okay,"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQjKy5LXdK
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.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDLX1rhs4n
Suddenly the noise stopped.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EiU0tBDmZ
Which was odd. 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqqYbaL5Pu
Standing up, I go the dining room area and take a peek.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5o1ppOoRm
There was Peter watching my sister sip her strawberry smoothie.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0S98rZp28
"Peter?"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GRh3rNCRb
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?"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXWvi3eleK
I sniffed and wiped away the tears. "I'm fine. Thanks,"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWHKFB4YEh
"Peter! I want another one!" screeched my sister.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXk7GjT7n2
"Where are your manners Angel!" I screamed back.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmKPyraSrk
Peter laughed at that, "Its okay. I'll get you another one,"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2OYInc7Gn
"You know you are spending your money on her," I mutter through clenched teeth.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3vlBhJm7V
"I don't mind," he said and took out his wallet with a huge grin.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh4MkntgQw
I watched my sister scream with joy as TK appeared with a tray filled with smoothies, ice-scream then sighed.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUov3ZwwWnx
At least she's quiet right? 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZPFEClsew
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.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtTa5ruOgA
"Thank you so much but I have to wake my sister and go home," I reply.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq7f1I9KMf
Peter was shocked, "No! Don't you know its a bad idea to wake up a sleeping child?"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHBA6HnLep
I give a rueful chuckle at that.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti2FPBEDAb
"How about I help you carry her instead?"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQK731KqZu
Shocked, I look at his physic and got worried. 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg527L6EqFz
He looked so...thin.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxUOfP9iI4
"Are you sure?" I ask.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe0RJLi40A
He nods and proceeds to carry her with ease with a smile on his face. 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgsZTGvJha
I stood looking at him in awe.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPiSpOIaGn
A few minutes later...
We were walking in silence with our footsteps echoing down the streets.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3OP8KmMgu
"Look,"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IJjbzy90E
He looks at me in shock.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimalMkRPRB
"I am sorry for what happened." I sigh, "I will pay you as soon as I get my next paycheck." 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhpWbCtgWx
"Oh no need," 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkMBxy2ZXi
I stared at him and he looked back with a grin on his face.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gAGNnUl3B
"Are you serious?"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9jtsh7v6x
"Yep. You don't have to do that. Besides, your sister's cute when she's silent,"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqNnpKEEf2
I blink twice and look away in shame.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwVcvOLqAR
"Besides, I should apologize for my behavior today. I shouldn't have done that."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui5DCPn1M3
I heaved a huge sigh of relief.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnixIgGOOY1
"But I really want to take you out for dinner," 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHiK5OajMe
I nudged him playfully and look away.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0sDHDoMdL
Why?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2nnAFcwfr
I was speechless. No one had ever asked me out on a date before. Maybe I was acting like a dick to him?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hlC4gt1jl
"I am sorry Peter but I am not interested in dating anyone,"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx64Rc2kRz
He looked sad and I felt sorry for him.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA8PH89zmj
"But lets be friends instead. Is that good enough for you?"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JL4ghZFdG
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. 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdYlSjQ2Fv
The scene was so cute.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiwh8AMt5r
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. 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQnaXRn1ij
My sister did look cute when she was quiet.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN3jdEFK7x
