"Tia this is my son, Tony. He is around your age, sixteen years old too. Honey come greet your new babysitter"
I heard a faint 'hi' before him turning around and covering himself in his mountain of blankets
"Oh baby no, it's ok she won't do anything bad"
I mean at least it ain't a ghost? But this..all this is very weird
Why would a sixteen year old act like a kid? Or a baby?
She wondered while looking at him and his mother
"Come on say hello now and give her a little hug"
The boy stood up and walked to her and hugged her and bolted back to his bed
This woman treats him like a child too much maybe that's why, and woah he's a little short. Damn
Tia was 5'5 while Tony was 5'3. The height difference is not so tall but mainly because the boy was shorter than the average height for males. She was a year older but that still doesn't make sense, guys in her class are like hella tall
"I really need to go now because i'm gonna be late. Tia just text me if ever you're gonna leave or things go wrong"
"No problem Linda"
"Bye honey, behave. I'll come back later"
Poor boy though he seemed scared seeing me, can't imagine how the other babysitters he went through treated him
She tried not judging about his situation too much and sat down beside him
"Hi Tony"
Tia said in a soft and gentle voice trying to scare him. When he slowly got out of the covers, she got a good look on what he is wearing. It was a stitch onesie and holding a pink bunny as his stuffie
"Watcha' holding there?"
"My bunny"
He just looked up at her and looked back down again
"Ooh what's it's name"
"Strawberry"
The boy seemed intrigued that his caregiver was curious about it
"That's nice! Have you ate anything yet?"
"No, I just woke up"
"Do you want to eat something?"
"Mhm"
"Now come on follow me"
Tia stood up first and looked back down on Tony. He still wouldn't budge, he was shy about the whole thing yet. She knelt down on his level and shook his arm a little
"You're not coming?"
"I-I am but i'm not hungry yet"
"Well you can go down stairs when you do. I'll be back"
He hugged his stuffy closer as she went out and downstairs
Well a little weird, but I can get used to this. He is my age with dependant disorder, I just don't have to leave him all alone and things are good
She thought while opening cabinets and search through the fridge for anything to cook
Tony's POV
A girl and my mom went in my room and greeted me
"Hi.."
I hid under the covers incase she forces me to say anything more
