The Babysitters ♡ Steve Harrington

Episode 3

Steve and I hit a full home run. As said before, sex was sex. I woke up under the covers with my head on Steve's chest. I stood quietly and got dressed.

The sky was dark and I needed to get home.

I nudged Steve's leg. "Steve?"

"Hmm?" He hummed into the pillow.

"I gotta get home, see you tomorrow." I grabbed the rest of my things before leaving the house. I then realized that since both Nancy and Barb were gone, I would have to walk.

As I walked through the backyard, a noise caught my attention. I looked up at the sky before continuing my way home.

I unlocked the front door and slipped inside as all the lights were off. Once I removed my shoes, the lights flipped on and I whipped around.

Dustin sat on the couch with Mews beside him. The minute she spotted me, she jumped up and pressed her body against my legs.

"Well, well, well, where have you been?" Dustin smirked.

"Why are you still awake?" I questioned.

"No reason. Whose sweatshirt is that?" Dustin furrowed his eyebrows at the men's sweatshirt I was wearing.

In my defense, it was freezing and I wasn't walking home in a damp tank top.

"Oh, just this boy." I smiled.

"Who?" Dustin stood.

"His name is...none of your business." I dropped my act.

"Ooh, is it your boyfriend?" Dustin teased.

"No." I walked to my room and Dustin followed.

"Oh, my God, did you kiss him!?" Dustin gasped.

"Because I'm wearing a sweatshirt you think we automatically kissed?" I faced Dustin, who laid on my bed. He nodded and I rolled my eyes. "Out."

"Athena and...him are sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." Dustin sang. I reached down and grabbed my brother by his shirt before dragging him towards my door.

"Out!" I shoved him out and closed my door.

Nancy and I met in the hallway the following morning. We have gotten no word from Barb this morning so we decided to find her during class. In the meantime, I told Nancy about what happened between Steve and I last night. Her eyes widened at the amount of detail I went into, but when I asked if I said too much, she pressed me to keep going.

We parted ways to go to our lockers as we were about to be late for our next class.

I opened my locker and almost hit Steve across the face.

"Hey." He greeted.

"Hey." I replied, grabbing my books for my next class.

"Everything okay?" Steve asked.

"Yeah, fine." I nodded.

"So...after last night, I wanted to ask...would you wanna be my girlfriend?" Steve asked with a nervous expression.

"Hmm...." I pretended to think. "...alright."

"Yeah?" He smiled.

"Sure." I smiled back. He leaned in and we kissed. "Did you want your sweatshirt back?"

"No, no, you keep it." He smirked before the bell rang and we went our separate ways.

I met up with Nancy in class and we glanced at Barb's empty seat.
