The Babysitter

Sheriff

He sighed before shaking his head in disappointment. "I'm disappointed in how you've raised our son." 

Who the fuck asked for his opinion? 

"I don't remember asking for your opinion. It's not like you raised him at all so," my mom shrugged. "Get out," she demanded and so he listened. 

He grabbed his briefcase before glaring at Aubrey and me and heading right out, driving away, leaving for good. 

My mom sighed while rubbing her temples before turning to face us. "Ready for dinner, kids?" She plastered on a fake smile before heading over to the kitchen. 

"Mom, why don't you go over to Robert's for tonight again? He's getting off work early and Aubrey's staying anyway," I suggested while shrugging. 

"Would you two be okay with that? I mean I shouldn't because I've-"

"Mom, just go." I smiled at her while chuckling softly. 

She let out a sigh of relief before grabbing her keys, phone, and bag before pressing a kiss to my cheek and heading out. 

"So..." Aubrey trailed off, pulling her hand out of my grip hesitantly. 

"Did you mean what you said?" I questioned since it was bothering me for a while. I meant it when I told her I liked her, I just wasn't sure if she did. Maybe it's because I've never had a real girlfriend, but she just makes everything ten times better.

"Do you want me to mean what I said? Because I meant every word of it," she turned to me nervously. "What are you so nervous about? I meant it, all of it. Did you? Because I totally understand if you don't and-" she began ranting. 

"I meant it! All of it. It's just that- I've never had such real and genuine feelings for a girl," I explained awkwardly while blushing shyly. 

Get a fucking grip, Xavier. 

"Not for Kylie?" she asked quietly. 

I just gently shook my head. "Not for Kylie, not for Julie, not for anyone," I clarified. 

"Well, I like you. Whether they genuinely did or not is none of my business, but I do," she huffed while walking over to the kitchen while I followed her. 

"Pizza? I'm too lazy to cook." I sighed. 

She nodded before pulling her phone out of her pocket and ordering pizza. I stood in front of her, with my hands resting on the counter, besides either side of her waist as she thanked the person taking the order before hanging up and placing her phone on the counter. 

She sighed, "I'm tired." Her eyes fluttered shut while she blinked. 

I took a deep breath in before wrapping my arms around her thighs, picking her up, and seating her on the countertop. 

She blushed while resting her hands in her lap, fiddling with them ever so slightly. 

I clicked my tongue before taking her hands in mine and placing them around my neck. "Breathe." I rested my hands on the small of her back, pulling her closer to me.

Sitting on the countertop she was closer to my height, looking straight into my eyes. 

"Thank you for today, you saved me," I whispered while she rested her head against my shoulder. 

"Anytime," she whispered back with a sigh before looking up at me. A small smile found its way to her lips while I tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. 

"I lose my mind when I'm with you," I whispered while she let out another tired sigh. 

"I know you want to, so just, kiss me anytime." she grinned at me goofily. 

I chuckled softly before tilting her chin up, before leaning in and softly pressing my lips to hers for a moment. I pulled away with a grin of my own as she smiled. We sat in silence for about five minutes until I spoke up again. "I should have kissed you longer," I admitted. 

She let out a small laugh before hooking her hands around my neck, pulling me in for another kiss. This one lasted a little longer, only a little. 

We sat there and talked about things, she told me about how she's convinced that Violet and Ace are gonna be together before they get back or as soon as they get back since Violet happens to see Ace wherever she goes. I told her about how Ace doesn't shut up about Vi either, I swear to god can they just admit their feelings to each other already? 

I'm so tired of hearing him talk about her dreamily. I can't deny though, I respect him being committed even just to a crush. 

"Pizza's here," she spoke, snapping me out of my thoughts before hopping off the counter and getting the door while I got out my money. 

"Peter?" she asked in confusion. 

"Excuse me, I need to talk to you." 

I walked over to see Peter pushing past the delivery guy and stepping onto my porch. 

"You're not allowed in here." I got next to Aubrey on time to block his path. 

"Well, I only need to talk to her, just for a minute," he glared at me. 

I looked down to see Aubrey giving me a reassuring look. Trusting her, I went up to my room.
