The Babysitter novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3: (Xavier's POV)- Oh-Um-Crap!

I have no clue why on earth my mom thinks I need a babysitter, like come on, how old am I? Two? I have to admit though, I'm lucky it's Aubrey. I've known her for a while, we've been going to the same school since forever.

We're not close, never have been but I think she's a cool person. She's drop-dead gorgeous for sure but she's my babysitter and the fact that she refused to leave annoyed me.

Now, I know that I told her I could make her stay but I only said that so that she would want to leave even more and so that she would leave so that I disarm the monitor and get the hell out of here.

I know the officers would be alerted when I took it off, but I would've been back before they could get here. This whole situation is such chaos. I don't know what the hell I would do if my dad found out about it.

He's different, way different than my mom. He gets angry at every little thing, he's a lot more strict, he has a lot higher expectations and he doesn't understand that I just can't reach them. I shook my head, clearing the thoughts before going and showering.

I did what anyone does in the shower, cleaned up, washed my hair before stepping out and drying off with a towel.

I wrapped the towel around my waist and stepped out into my room. I headed on over to my closet and threw on my boxers and sweatpants. I grabbed a black v-neck to throw on but before I could do so, my door swung open.

"Is there anything that-" Aubrey walked in and locked eyes with me. And then took in my appearance. "Oh-Um-Crap!" she stared at my naked upper body, she looked so cute. All flustered, panicked, and blushing.

"Are you even trying to look away?" I laughed while she blushed even harder.

"Crap! Uh-sorry!" She tore her gaze off of me and turned her back to face me while clenching and unclenching her hands into fists.

I swiftly threw the shirt on and spoke up, "You can look now, don't worry. You won't be eye-raping me anymore." I walked right up behind her. She quickly turned around to face me, colliding with me. "You came here asking for something?" I questioned her tauntingly.

She remained quiet with her eyes piercing into mine.

I raised my eyebrows at her.

"I-" she began but couldn't finish. She bit her lower lip, shifting my gaze down to it before I snapped myself out of it. "Is there anything that you want? I'm uh- I'm making lunch." She cleared her throat awkwardly.

"You wanna cook for me?" I smirked.

"If you don't give me a straight answer I might just cook you." She glared at me, trying to take a step back.

I put my arm around her waist, locking her while pulling her closer to myself.

"Spaghetti? That's all I can make do you want it or not?" she asked, rolling her eyes at me.

"What if I say I don't want it?" I challenged.

"Then I'll order pizza." She shrugged casually before trying to throw my hands off of her but failing miserably. "You know if you're trying to annoy me to drive me out of here, it won't work." She smiled innocently at me.

So she did catch on? She's smarter than I thought.

"Why is that?" I questioned, letting her go.

"Because I'm getting paid pretty darn good for just being here." She flipped her hair over her shoulder before heading down the stairs.

I laughed to myself while shaking my head.

"Order the pizza!" she yelled from downstairs.

"Yes, ma'am!" I screamed before grabbing my phone and ordering some pizza. Once I did that, I went downstairs to see her on her phone.

She seemed to be too engrossed in her phone to notice me taking a seat beside her.

So I did what any person being ignored would do. I took her phone. Or well, snatched her phone."Let's see what you're so engrossed in!" I teased while taking her phone to see her texting her best friend, Violet Blake.

Now surprisingly, I know Violet but not through her, through Ace. The boy's got a huge thing for her. He told me he saw her in Hawaii, he's thrilled to be there while she is but her? I don't know. Only one way to find out. So I began scrolling up the chat to the beginning of summer break.
