Challenging 5 || Ollie Lynch

Baby-sitting

*Ami's pov*

I roll my eyes when I read the next question on my chemistry homework.
"Who even gets this shit?" I mutter, pulling my hair in frustration.
"Baby, don't pull your hair."
"Stop always picking at everything I do." I snap back at Ollie who was lying on my floor with his maths textbook spread out in front of him. I spot him frown and a few seconds later, he tugged on my arm to make me sit me on his lap.
"Want me to help you?" He smiles.
I stare at him for a few seconds with a straight face until the ends of my mouth turns into a shit- eating grin.
"You know how to treat a woman."
"Correction," he says, pulling my chin up to kiss him. "I know how to treat this woman."
I moan against his lips as his fingers intwine with my silky, brunette hair.
"I like this new smell on you." Ollie smiles against my lips as his finger brushes against my ear.
"Really?"
"Mhm. You should wear it more often."
"Is that so?"
"Come on guys, again?" A familiar voice says in the doorway.
"Oh fuck off." I roll my eyes and pick up a pillow from my bed to throw at my brother.
"You fuck off." Jaden sneers back.
In my peripheral position I spot Ollie not even paying attention to my brother but instead staring intently at me, sneakily licking his lips.
Oh my, how I wish Jaden wasn't here right now.
"What do you want, Jaden?" I shake my head at him sassily.
"You have to get out of here in like 10 minutes, my party is starting." He smirks at me.
"One of these days, Jaden. I fucking swear down." I groan getting off my boyfriend and my groan deepens when his hands slide down my waist slowly as he stares up at me with a huge smirk etched on his face. I tilt my head at him, switching my gaze between his eyes and his mouth.
"Well hurry up then, Am!"
"It's fine, Jaden. We will be out in no time." Ollie says to my brother, his gaze not leaving mine once.
"Does Mum and Dad even know about this?" I sigh as I collect my things.
"Nope and you're not ratting me out either."
"Yes cause I care like that." I say sarcastically.
"Come on, baby." Ollie says swinging my bag over his shoulder.
"Don't mess up the house." I call back at Jaden as I make my way downstairs.
"Yeah and you stay safe." He shouts back and I smile.

As I lay my bag onto the Manor's kitchen island, I hear a gurgling sound mixed with small footsteps and laughter. I turn to see AJ running at me in a dinosaur onesie paired with sticky hands of what I would guess to be Nutella.
"Hey, curly-head, what did you get up to this time?" I laugh, picking him and placing him on my hip. "Wow you're getting heavy now." I stick my tongue out at him as I mentally calculate that he is going to be 5 soon.
"Ami!" His eyes grow huge as he claps his hands together. "Daddy is chasing me."
"There you went." I turn both AJ and I around to see Joey saunter in with wet wipes in his hand. "You're always getting away, aren't you bubba?" The father himself sighs but doesn't fail to bop his son on the nose with a warm smile on his face.
"Hey, Joe. What's up?" I look at Ollie's older brother.
"Hey, Am. I'm grand, how about you?"
"I'm all good." I smile at him and he smiles back but his smile doesn't reach his eyes like they normally do.
My brow furrows. "Tell me what's on your mind."
He takes a huge sigh as he wipes AJ's hands. "To be honest I don't know what I'm going to do. I have a work in a few minutes, Molloy uptook a client's last minute offer to do some highlights or something. Both Edel and John are out and Trish is already busy at home." He looks up at me then. "I don't know what to do with AJ."
I shake my head smiling, "Don't even worry, Joe. Ollie and I will babysit."
It's almost like you could see the relief disappear from his face.
"Are you sure? I don't want to put pressure on you or anything."
"Positive. We are going to be great aren't we, AJ?"
"We are, daddy." He gives a big grin at his father and squirms to get down from my hold on him. When he does, small arms wrap around Joey as soon as he crouches down.
"Be good, bubba. Don't make it hard for Am."
"I won't."
With that, they do a handshake I observed many times before and after Joey thanks me again, he was gone.
"Let's go upstairs shall we?" I ask the toddler as his hand wraps around my fingers.
"Yes." Joey and Aoife's son says as he pulls me to the door. 

"Ols." I call out as I stand in front of his bedroom door. "I have AJ with me, can I still come in?" As I wasn't sure what he was doing before.
"Yeah!" He shouts from his side of the door.
I open it to see him fiddling with his game controller.
"GTA?" I ask quizzically as I usher AJ into Ollie's bedroom.
"You know it."
"I do, but you should really be doing your revision." I say as I play with AJ in my arms.
My boyfriend turns to look at me and something flashes in his eyes. A moment passes.
"Don't make me get on my knees and fucking bark, Am." He sighs rubbing his face.
"What do you mean?" I draw a chair back for Ollie's nephew and gently place him on there. "Do you want to do some drawing?" I ask AJ.
"Yes please, Ami."
"Okay sweetheart, I'll be back." I ruffle his curls and then turn back to what I thought was Ollie distractedly playing a video game to him standing up right behind me with his hands on my hips. Before I could get a chance to say anything, he steers me into his walk in wardrobe.
"You know we can't leave him for long." I stare up at the blond man in front of me.
"Fuck, Am." He groans.
"I still don't get what is happening." I say picking up dust on his hoodie and flicking it away.
"You." He kisses my forehead. "You just looked so motherly just then."
"Yeah?"
"Yes and it just messed with my head."
I was thinking of what to say next.
"It almost make me want to start a family now seeing how hot you looked." He smirks.
"Well don't." I laugh at him.
"That's a given." He laughs with me. "But for what it is worth, Am. You'll make a great mum."
A breath gets caught in my throat as I place my fingers on his cheek affectionately. "Thank you, baby. You'll make such a great father, I just know it."
"I love you."
"I love you too."

My eyes grow evidently heavier every second my thumb hits my phone screen. They drift upwards and spot the time reaching near 1 am. As I sigh, I turn to face my boyfriend with his nephew curled up together on his bed. A huge smile appears on my face as I click to the camera option and take a quick photo of the two together. And in that moment, I was sure. So fucking sure that I need to keep this boy and I will never settle for less.
