"No way! I am not babysitting my sister!" I yell.370Please respect copyright.PENANAF7WKhviEG8
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. 370Please respect copyright.PENANAqPjEamPTby
"Do you want me to call 911?" 370Please respect copyright.PENANADK9VDJyMhy
I look up at TK who was holding out his phone and I groaned.370Please respect copyright.PENANAp79p6cIjm9
"I wish. The last time I did that my dad flipped his lid saying something like, 'Are you trying to ruin my career?' nonsense."370Please respect copyright.PENANAUN9G9aZpSF
Yep. He's a lawyer.370Please respect copyright.PENANAst5Gs2XA0b
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAhHlhMjkxiW
Believe me. I know.370Please respect copyright.PENANAFeRbkkp7kS
This is going to be a long day.370Please respect copyright.PENANA3okjh7aIz1
A few hours later...370Please respect copyright.PENANAAebTocGP3N
"I want another strawberry smoothie!" screeched the hell spawn.370Please respect copyright.PENANAfCIL39GUAd
"No!" I say walking passed her.
"I want a strawberry smoothie!" 370Please respect copyright.PENANAF29unkzLLP
"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?370Please respect copyright.PENANAD1XyGKVypJ
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAl85dldkRYv
"Shhh, its okay," the strong arms cuddled me. "Its okay,"370Please respect copyright.PENANAQHRen0DsHZ
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANASdKDz7hSst
Suddenly the noise stopped.370Please respect copyright.PENANAOXYqlWZDH4
Which was odd. 370Please respect copyright.PENANAtp7rFaSqkN
Standing up, I go the dining room area and take a peek.370Please respect copyright.PENANAE0NXDUAWTJ
There was Peter watching my sister sip her strawberry smoothie.370Please respect copyright.PENANA2ncjXoJmil
"Peter?"370Please respect copyright.PENANABDfiYzeTfr
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?"370Please respect copyright.PENANALo4vTizxFY
I sniffed and wiped away the tears. "I'm fine. Thanks,"370Please respect copyright.PENANApG3QEoY7MB
"Peter! I want another one!" screeched my sister.370Please respect copyright.PENANAynavv5dmPY
"Where are your manners Angel!" I screamed back.370Please respect copyright.PENANAabp6ury0W5
Peter laughed at that, "Its okay. I'll get you another one,"370Please respect copyright.PENANANEQXRzkanz
"You know you are spending your money on her," I mutter through clenched teeth.370Please respect copyright.PENANA1gD1qKlxJq
"I don't mind," he said and took out his wallet with a huge grin.370Please respect copyright.PENANAhc0JFuWC41
I watched my sister scream with joy as TK appeared with a tray filled with smoothies, ice-scream then sighed.370Please respect copyright.PENANAqvEAgqGwpQ
At least she's quiet right? 370Please respect copyright.PENANAk3zZLcrNQl
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAWs2gRz3Fls
"Thank you so much but I have to wake my sister and go home," I reply.370Please respect copyright.PENANAQHsbQTeNcz
Peter was shocked, "No! Don't you know its a bad idea to wake up a sleeping child?"370Please respect copyright.PENANAqoiaFIKNEb
I give a rueful chuckle at that.370Please respect copyright.PENANARwrUF9zDYB
"How about I help you carry her instead?"370Please respect copyright.PENANAFd8jj521la
Shocked, I look at his physic and got worried. 370Please respect copyright.PENANAqqBsliMkQB
He looked so...thin.370Please respect copyright.PENANASO6kzqSzJS
"Are you sure?" I ask.370Please respect copyright.PENANAtB2ZjHgbuT
He nods and proceeds to carry her with ease with a smile on his face. 370Please respect copyright.PENANAv3WkoDDHeG
I stood looking at him in awe.370Please respect copyright.PENANAF8apHdlD2f
A few minutes later...
We were walking in silence with our footsteps echoing down the streets.370Please respect copyright.PENANAzdrIkitILH
"Look,"370Please respect copyright.PENANArYpR8043BH
He looks at me in shock.370Please respect copyright.PENANAVlokHN5BQ1
"I am sorry for what happened." I sigh, "I will pay you as soon as I get my next paycheck." 370Please respect copyright.PENANAcjiCHxL4Bf
"Oh no need," 370Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ky3mHjAIG
I stared at him and he looked back with a grin on his face.370Please respect copyright.PENANAypGqpT2ziE
"Are you serious?"370Please respect copyright.PENANASxFbmyTCl9
"Yep. You don't have to do that. Besides, your sister's cute when she's silent,"370Please respect copyright.PENANA4yfe89QSDa
I blink twice and look away in shame.370Please respect copyright.PENANARdEJsBZ0RV
"Besides, I should apologize for my behavior today. I shouldn't have done that."370Please respect copyright.PENANAIBF1mwlCyE
I heaved a huge sigh of relief.370Please respect copyright.PENANAHNiVuINJg0
"But I really want to take you out for dinner," 370Please respect copyright.PENANAe539YrcZrA
I nudged him playfully and look away.370Please respect copyright.PENANAAz0FHB5BHw
Why?370Please respect copyright.PENANAyfxNDVlfTd
I was speechless. No one had ever asked me out on a date before. Maybe I was acting like a dick to him?370Please respect copyright.PENANAAYsTuHV1ab
"I am sorry Peter but I am not interested in dating anyone,"370Please respect copyright.PENANAcB4RbKOk83
He looked sad and I felt sorry for him.370Please respect copyright.PENANAOzZoGuZOKQ
"But lets be friends instead. Is that good enough for you?"370Please respect copyright.PENANAGHl2QVj5wj
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. 370Please respect copyright.PENANAYhDnX0Cghw
The scene was so cute.370Please respect copyright.PENANAokT3KScsmN
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. 370Please respect copyright.PENANAvg5xGTx7HI
My sister did look cute when she was quiet.370Please respect copyright.PENANAc8MnxtKPlG
