The week had gone by surprisingly quick but you finally get your room all settled. Band posters and pictures line your walls, matching bean bag and comfy rug on the floor, and your room decor and nik knacks sit perfectly on your furniture. This is probably the one of many rooms you've had that you actually really like. You even managed to get all your clothes unpacked and organized along with your bathroom set up. You start to feel like yourself again. It was finally Saturday. You throw on some sweats, a crop top, and a flannel wanting to be comfortable for the long day ahead of you. You pack up a bag of essentials; ear buds, phone charger, pieces of your favorite candy, and another shirt just in case. You make your way to the Heffleys after breakfast with your parents. You knock on the door and Mr. Heffley opens it. "Hey come on in. Susan's just getting Manny ready and we'll be on our way" he says fixing his tie in the mirror next to the kitchen. Mrs. Heffley comes into the room from down the hallway "Hello Y/N, Mannys in his room playing with his toys. He's already had breakfast so he'll just need lunch and sna....." you sort of drown her out looking down the hallway and up the stairs wondering where everyone else is. "You got all of that" you snap out of your daze seeing her smiling down at you with excitement probably for her day out. "Yeah I got it" you smile back "but um where's everyone else?" "Oh Greg's at his friend Rowleys house and Rodrick is upstairs. He'll sleep most of the day so you won't even notice him" she reassures you but you don't feel so settled by it. "Our phone numbers are on the fridge if you need anything and again thank you for babysitting on such short notice" she says in a sincere tone. "It's really no problem. Have fun" and with that they're out the door and leave the drive way. You set your bag down and make your way to Manny's room seeing the little boy sat on the floor playing with some action figures. You decide to join in and play with him for a while. After a while he abruptly stands up, "Hey little guy what's wrong" you ask him worried not excepting to get a full answer but at least something from him. You know exactly whats wrong with him when he throws up all over chest getting it everywhere on the front of shirt. "Oh no" you whisper quietly to yourself trying not to upset him but cringing at the mess. You get Manny some water and put him to bed. It's not the first time it's happened to you but it's still gross. You clean up in the bathroom and slip on your other 'just in case' shirt. "Oh shit" you say to yourself looking in the mirror. You hadn't checked what shirt you put in your bag. It's another crop top but this one is a little shorter and a lot tighter. It fits you perfectly it just presses against your cleavage and makes it more apparent. You quickly wash your flannel in the sink and leave it to dry hoping it'll be done sooner than later. You leave the bathroom and go back to Manny's room seeing hes now up and feeling better. He says hes now hungry or at least pieces words together for you to understand so you leave him to play while you go to make him lunch. You put on some music to fill the silence while you make his sandwich. You dance around the kitchen oblivious to any sounds around you until "Hey mom can you make me a-" you look up from your sandwich making and see Rodrick standing there confused. You pause your music and just kinda stare for a minute feeling longer than it really is. Averting your gaze you go back to making mannys lunch. "Hey what are you doing here?" He asks cooly approaching the island in the middle of the the kitchen. "Your mom didn't tell you?" You ask cutting an apple. When he doesn't respond to the question you look up at him, hes staring your body up and down becoming fixated on the tightness of the shirt around your chest. Your face gets red hot when you notice his gaze so you clear your throat. He looks up at you suddenly "tell me what?" He asks still coming out of his daze. You roll your eyes "I'm babysitting Manny while they're out for their anniversary." He shrugs "Yeah I don't remember that." You both fall silent as you finish up Manny's lunch. "Hey how old are you?" Rodrick speaks up breaking the awkward silence "17, almost 18" you say not looking up pouring a glass of juice. "That's fun" he says with a flirtatious tone. You can feel the smirk on his face. You give him a confused weirded out look. "I mean that's cool, we're both the same age." It's like he's trying to act cool in front of you but for what? "Yeah really cool" you say sarcastically grabbing the plate and cup and heading back to Manny's room. He moves to the end of the island sort of getting in your way "I'll see you around" he winks at you as you pass by him "sure" you say obvious annoyance in your voice. You feed Manny his lunch and play for a bit until he goes down for another nap. You start to feel tired yourself. You make your way to the living room after making sure he was fully asleep. You plop yourself on the couch and take your earbuds out blasting your favorite playlist. You take one of the many untouched books from the coffee table, doesn't look too interesting but it'll pass the time.
Time skip
You wake up hearing muffled sounds of a T.V. The book you were reading laying open face down on your chest and your phone and ear buds tangled together next to you. You didn't even notice you fell asleep "shit how long has it been" you think to yourself right before another before another thought hits your mind "MANNY!!" You say aloud sitting sitting straight up. As you sit up you're met with Rodrick sitting comfortably at the end of the couch looking at you smiling. "Shhh the kids right here" he says nodding at Manny playing with his toys on his floor mat. You let out a sigh of relief relaxing a bit more into the couch until you realize something "How long have you've been sitting there?" Looking at him confused and a bit uncomfortable. "Not long, just saw you laying here so I decided to join; and I uh brought Manny so you didn't have to worry" he says sounding genuinely really nice. You nod your head slowly, "oh ok, well thanks." You smile at him and look down at your lap starting to feel shy for no reason. Maybe cause of the way Rodrick sits comfortably splayed out, or the way his hair is perfectly messy giving him that punk look you love, or how his shirts and pants are almost tight enough to see his-stop your getting yourself so worked up on him you feel the sweat beading on your forehead because of how hot your face is. You feel movement on the couch next to you, looking up to see Rodrick leaning in close smiling that devilish flirtatious smile. You freeze as he reaches his hand out close to your body, he grabs your phone thats tangled in your earbuds. You let out your breath slowly not realizing you were holding it the whole time, "What are you listening to?" He asks as he puts the ear buds in his ears pressing play on your playlist seeming to look through the whole thing. You were always self conscious about sharing music with anyone because your taste in it was judged so much in the past. You stare at him nervous of what he'll say about it. He sits silent for a little while just listening until he takes the ear buds out and stares back at you somewhat in shock. "I wouldn't take you for a girl who likes that kind of music. It's cool" he smiles and bit his lip a little. You get butterflies in your stomach and in another place. "You know I have a band. World famous Loded Diper" he expresses nonchalantly as if it wasn't a big deal. "I-I've never heard of it" you say shyly feeling embarrassed by it. "Well not yet world famous but we will be" he starts getting closer to you and your heart beats faster and faster. "You should see us practice sometime" he suggests in a lower quiet voice making it sound oddly sexual and subtly glancing at your lips before looking back into your eyes. You're so taken aback by this you just freeze not knowing what to say being left a shy nervous and a bit turned on mess. It stays silent for a second the tension feeling heavier and heavier making seconds feel like minutes. Thankfully it's broken by the front door opening. You look over the couch and see Mr. and Mrs. Heffley walking through the door looking incredibly happy. "Hello Y/N were home" she announces coming into the living room. She looks a bit surprised to see Rodrick sitting on the couch with you. You try to clear up her confusion "Rodrick helped me a bit with Manny" trying to ease any sort of ideas shes getting from the picture. "That's impressively nice of you Rodrick" she says in surprised tone. "Yeah whatever I did nothing really" he says looking at her serious before leaving up the stairs slightly brushing your shoulder with his finger tips as he walks pass you. You look back at him and he gives you a devilish smirk with a wink. You quickly turn your head back to see Mrs. Heffley greeting Manny thankfully not seeing any of what just happened. You pack your things along with your dirty clothes from earlier to wash at home. Mr. Heffley grabs his wallet and pays you more than what you had asked for. "Oh no no I can't take this" you say trying to give him back the extra money. Mrs. Heffley interjects "Please take it we I insist, especially putting up with Rodrick along with manny" she winks with a warm smile. You grudgingly put the money in your bag, say good night to the Heffleys after they thank you a million times for babysitting Manny, and make your way over to your house thinking about the events of today. Rodrick. Rodrick. He's all you can think about at the moment. You don't know what he's doing to you but you kinda like it. You make your way into your house greeting your parents before heading up to your room. You unpack your bag leaving your gross clothes aside to wash later, and go to refresh with a steaming hot shower. You slip on a big t shirt and fresh undies, your favorite thing to sleep in, and settle in for bed.
