The Babysitter novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46: (Xavier's POV)- Sir

"Violet wait chill out!" I yelled while grabbing her arm and pulling her back while Aubrey stood with her hands on Ace's chest, pushing him back.

"Guys chill out! This has blown way out of proportion!" Aubrey yelled. "You like each other come to your fucking senses!" Aubrey screamed.

"Are you crazy?" both Ace and Vi shouted at the same time. I glanced over at Aubrey and gave her a pointed look.

"Ace if you touch my best friend you will not have kids," Aubrey told him calmly.

"Aubrey!" Vi complained. "Don't- ugh!" Violet groaned throwing my arms off of her. Aubrey slowly eyes the two before stepping away from Ace. "I'm sorry," Vi huffed while sticking her hand out for Ace to shake.

Ace grabbed her hand and pulled her in for a hug while Aubrey and I sighed in relief. "Now that that's over. My place?" I asked while wrapping my arm around Aubrey. Ace and Vi nodded in sync before we all left.

That was a very close call. If they would have broken off whatever was going on between them, we'd be the middlemen. And that's never good it just turns out to be a mess. We got my house with us splitting in two, Ace and Vi went together in his car and Aubrey and I rode my bike.

We got my place and settled down in the living room after Aubrey and I changed into more comfortable clothes. "Anyone wants hot Cheetos?"

The words barely came out of Aubrey's mouth before Ace and I screamed, "Yes!" She laughed before shaking her head and going into the kitchen while I pulled out some board games for all of us to play.

It's game night now. We started with the infamous monopoly. Aubrey came in with the bowl of Cheetos and placed them in the middle of the circle we were sitting in, on the floor before I pulled her down to sit on my lap.

We started the game and were done with it after a while coming to the conclusion that I won, Aubrey came second and Vi came third since Ace gave up midway.

We were now moving on to Uno and Aubrey was very smoothly and impressively shuffling the cards before handing each of us seven. She tried to get off my lap but I didn't let her. "You will see my cards!" she reasoned.

I sighed, "No I won't, just sit here." I wrapped an arm around her waist securely as I kept my word and didn't look at her cards. I had two cards of a draw four and after me was Ace but the game had been reversed by Violet until Aubrey reversed it back which allowed me to play my draw four.

"What the hell? You could have used that before Aubrey reversed it back to me!" Ace whined.

"And given it to Aubrey? No thank you." I smiled at her while Vi laughed and Ace huffed as Aubrey gave my cheek a light kiss before the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it," Aubrey announced before getting up and taking her cards with her to get the door. We all waited for a while but she wasn't coming back and we couldn't hear any talking either.

"I'll go check." I declared before placing my cards face down on the floor and getting up, walking over to the door. I saw Aubrey standing still, frozen as I approached her. "Who is it, babe?" I asked her normally before I saw someone that I was hoping it wasn't.

"Babe?" he raised his eyebrows while glaring at me subtly.

"Um- meet Xavier my uh- my." she stuttered over her words. Now I know who it is for a fact.

"Her boyfriend." I extended my hand out for him to shake. He shook it with a firm grip while staring into my eyes. Kind of creepy.

"Xavier, meet my dad." Aubrey cleared her throat slightly.

"Nice to meet you, sir." I addressed formally. You can't go wrong with that, plus I didn't know his name.

"Sir?" he questioned, "That's a smart choice of words." he nodded before releasing my hand from his grip. "I'm Jonathan," he announced his name.

He continued before I could respond. "I'm here to take Aubrey back home. Come on let's go," he said not exactly leaving any room for discussion or argument. But who am I again?

"Sir if I may..." I began, not missing Aubrey's snicker at my formalities. "But since she's already spent most of the day here, could she please stay tonight as well. I'll have her back first thing in the morning, sir." I suggested.

"Plus, you and mom came back earlier than expected and I don't wanna leave." Aubrey cut in. "Please, dad! Please?" she pleaded. I watched as the sternness on his face faded for a split second before coming right back.
