Babysitter's Job

Chapter Three: Timeout

"Tony! What are you doing in there?!"

Splish splash splish

He said in his head while humming some nursery rhymes. Tony was deep in his headspace and didn't even hear Tia screaming her lungs out outside

Fucking hell, you know what who cares about privacy when the bathroom is flooding

She said in her head before barging in the bathroom and saw bubbles and water everywhere. Tia just stood dumbfounded and crossed her arms, obviously very disappointed at what happen

This is my first day..calm down Tia

"Tony! Do you have any idea what you just did?!"

The boy froze and just looked at her realizing what he has done. He snapped out his headspace and saw the mess he made

"What did you do?"

Tia said calmly trying to keep her cool

"I-I made a mess"

He said while putting his head down feeling extremely guilty

It's her first day and I did this.. She's gonna hate me..

"Rinse yourself and get your butt up there. I will wait for you in your room"

She said in a stern voice and left

Oh my god, I take back what I said. Didn't know this grown teenager is doing all of this. No wonder the babysitters quit

Tia said with a huff, still mad about the whole situation and sat down at his bed

Tony started cleaning himself up and put on the clothes his babysitter gave him. He loved it and was very happy and comfortable, he opened the drain near the toilet to let the water in and opened the door. His smiled dropped when he remembered what she said, he let out a sigh and headed to his room

Then saw Tia sitting across his bed with arms and legs crossed. Slowly, he walked up to her and tapped her gently

She looked back and saw the boy, he had a frown painted in his face and carrying his dirty laundry. Tia stood up and took his clothes and put them in the hamper first. Tony was surprised she didn't hit him or anything, but he was still unsure of what's gonna happen

Tia went back to the room and saw Tony curled up while sitting in the corner of his bed. She felt bad. The boy went through a lot and her getting mad at him won't help. Instead she sat down beside him and gave him a small talk, of course a little punishment to teach him a lesson

"Tony, can we talk for a bit"

"Yes"

She sat down and patted his shoulders

"You know what you did was wrong right?"

"Mhm"

"What did you do wrong?"

"I played with water"

"And?"

"Made a mess everywhere"

"Very good but since you did something wrong, you will have a punishment"

Oh no nuu punishment

His little side started showing but played it off. Tony hated punishments and never liked them

"But-"

"No buts young man, you have to learn what you did was not nice"

This time, he didn't answer back and just put his head down again
