"No way! I am not babysitting my sister!" I yell.314Please respect copyright.PENANAQH2P4XiXtI
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. 314Please respect copyright.PENANAEnkUiQL4hA
"Do you want me to call 911?" 314Please respect copyright.PENANAjmM8XeSAPP
I look up at TK who was holding out his phone and I groaned.314Please respect copyright.PENANAU26R6d4Hhf
"I wish. The last time I did that my dad flipped his lid saying something like, 'Are you trying to ruin my career?' nonsense."314Please respect copyright.PENANA8e29Ub7Olx
Yep. He's a lawyer.314Please respect copyright.PENANAHRAlWJrox3
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.314Please respect copyright.PENANAk0sDHwwKvx
Believe me. I know.314Please respect copyright.PENANAdDwnIMC5G0
This is going to be a long day.314Please respect copyright.PENANAKczadsznK8
A few hours later...314Please respect copyright.PENANAnKjIlaFGzM
"I want another strawberry smoothie!" screeched the hell spawn.314Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1qHRr7PPd
"No!" I say walking passed her.
"I want a strawberry smoothie!" 314Please respect copyright.PENANALDHZzp9x4N
"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?314Please respect copyright.PENANAPskJTkgMJ8
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.314Please respect copyright.PENANAhbHGQra8XU
"Shhh, its okay," the strong arms cuddled me. "Its okay,"314Please respect copyright.PENANA0lPq6IGPA7
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.314Please respect copyright.PENANASp95nJBoCD
Suddenly the noise stopped.314Please respect copyright.PENANAYWWHsbtqm8
Which was odd. 314Please respect copyright.PENANANwig8KkNG3
Standing up, I go the dining room area and take a peek.314Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ7FaXb2Hk
There was Peter watching my sister sip her strawberry smoothie.314Please respect copyright.PENANA7OIDMvE82S
"Peter?"314Please respect copyright.PENANAHPh2iuL7Ap
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?"314Please respect copyright.PENANA3StISYQfNP
I sniffed and wiped away the tears. "I'm fine. Thanks,"314Please respect copyright.PENANA5YBVfyggjn
"Peter! I want another one!" screeched my sister.314Please respect copyright.PENANA5turTeqoZN
"Where are your manners Angel!" I screamed back.314Please respect copyright.PENANAR0boj4xufR
Peter laughed at that, "Its okay. I'll get you another one,"314Please respect copyright.PENANAAIJrsziNzv
"You know you are spending your money on her," I mutter through clenched teeth.314Please respect copyright.PENANAwJGS8Dr3AC
"I don't mind," he said and took out his wallet with a huge grin.314Please respect copyright.PENANAUhDMUZht9g
I watched my sister scream with joy as TK appeared with a tray filled with smoothies, ice-scream then sighed.314Please respect copyright.PENANAR0IZjYJIlj
At least she's quiet right? 314Please respect copyright.PENANAaze5JaHYfv
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.314Please respect copyright.PENANAeidcRk8P2u
"Thank you so much but I have to wake my sister and go home," I reply.314Please respect copyright.PENANAxISXQOet0x
Peter was shocked, "No! Don't you know its a bad idea to wake up a sleeping child?"314Please respect copyright.PENANAivEvW0nuVd
I give a rueful chuckle at that.314Please respect copyright.PENANAp9mUIrltkv
"How about I help you carry her instead?"314Please respect copyright.PENANA5cSFp59kow
Shocked, I look at his physic and got worried. 314Please respect copyright.PENANARNL9Tc9ZDh
He looked so...thin.314Please respect copyright.PENANAHgYBEZqdEE
"Are you sure?" I ask.314Please respect copyright.PENANAJEev2x2zmd
He nods and proceeds to carry her with ease with a smile on his face. 314Please respect copyright.PENANAIgdf3SIyfd
I stood looking at him in awe.314Please respect copyright.PENANAlgb8BJ2dm6
A few minutes later...
We were walking in silence with our footsteps echoing down the streets.314Please respect copyright.PENANAcy2CuIDDNx
"Look,"314Please respect copyright.PENANACuq5St6ZXn
He looks at me in shock.314Please respect copyright.PENANA5vvPLEIVLy
"I am sorry for what happened." I sigh, "I will pay you as soon as I get my next paycheck." 314Please respect copyright.PENANAq6sotNhyHj
"Oh no need," 314Please respect copyright.PENANAbCaoHQ2DaE
I stared at him and he looked back with a grin on his face.314Please respect copyright.PENANAzzSIuXinI0
"Are you serious?"314Please respect copyright.PENANArFCSCNFGaU
"Yep. You don't have to do that. Besides, your sister's cute when she's silent,"314Please respect copyright.PENANAFXYGaDYZDz
I blink twice and look away in shame.314Please respect copyright.PENANAIDeTc5hBiR
"Besides, I should apologize for my behavior today. I shouldn't have done that."314Please respect copyright.PENANAKhWFYkD60g
I heaved a huge sigh of relief.314Please respect copyright.PENANAkJcweMFjkl
"But I really want to take you out for dinner," 314Please respect copyright.PENANAdDvfn2dtCU
I nudged him playfully and look away.314Please respect copyright.PENANAyP62DQYlFC
Why?314Please respect copyright.PENANAILWKc0vxqd
I was speechless. No one had ever asked me out on a date before. Maybe I was acting like a dick to him?314Please respect copyright.PENANA9UOiJhHEBZ
"I am sorry Peter but I am not interested in dating anyone,"314Please respect copyright.PENANATQmHqlMUtD
He looked sad and I felt sorry for him.314Please respect copyright.PENANA3U1PtyTGk7
"But lets be friends instead. Is that good enough for you?"314Please respect copyright.PENANAPV0S8YuY8t
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. 314Please respect copyright.PENANAbuzlsAiuD3
The scene was so cute.314Please respect copyright.PENANACYXWSm7meo
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. 314Please respect copyright.PENANAaJArdrZFuo
My sister did look cute when she was quiet.314Please respect copyright.PENANAGaFI2B63yw
