The Sitter

Chapter: 3

It was Saturday morning. I was exhausted. I crawled out of bed and went to go wash my face. I heard my Mom's voice downstairs.

I found her in the Living Room talking to Liam. Of course. He practically lived here now.

"Morning Mel"

"Hey Mom. What are you guys up to?"

"I'm taking Sam out today, and the house is getting sprayed out for the mosquitos. So while I'm out with Sam I need you and Liam to run an errand for me."

I had a smile on my face but I was screaming on the inside.

"No problem" I said.

"Great" she kissed me on the cheek before leaving with Sam.

I showered, changed, and then met Liam downstairs.

"So what are we doing"

"Its just grocery shopping" I said grabbing my bag.

We got in the car and drove to the supermarket.

When we got there I got us a cart and told Liam to read the list.

"Silk, eggs, yogurt. Who is the silk for?"

"Me" I said.

"Weirdo"

I rolled my eyes.

"I can't remember if Sam eats Danimals or gogurts"

"He likes the Danimals. The strawberry one"
Liam said grabbing two cases.

I looked at him strangely.

"Ok what else is on the list?"

"Lunchables"

I walked over and picked up 5 lunchables.

"He doesn't like the pizza one" Liam said taking them out of the cart.

"Yes he does" I said putting them back

"Sam's a simple dude. He likes the one with the crackers and meat" he said taking them back out

"Trust me he likes the pizza. Who doesn't" I said putting them right back in.

A short old woman walked up to us.

"I love seeing young couples argue. Reminds me of me and my husband back in the day" she said smiling.

"Oh no no no we are not a couple" I quickly said

"Really?" She asked.

"Really" I said

"Well you should be" she said walking away.

"As if I'd ever be your girlfriend" I said mumbling.

"Oh trust me I could have you whenever I want" he whispered in my ear.

I quickly moved away and he smirked.

"How about we get both and see which one he likes" he suggested.

"Great idea" I said.

Liam and I stopped at Chipotle since we couldn't go home yet.

"So you never told me about yourself"

"I still don't need to"

"Look. We're going to be seeing each other 24/7. We should at least know each other. I'll even go first. What do you wanna know?"

"Tell me about your family"

"Uh I live with both my parents. Not for long though. I'm going to college in the fall.

"Me to" I said "I cant wait to be over with senior year. Its no fun like everyone said it would be"

"Thats just because your boring" he said laughing.

I rolled my eyes.

"So how old are you" I asked.

"I turned 21 in January. What about you?"

"I'm turning 18 on Halloween" I said taking a sip from my soda.

"Thats like two weeks away"

"Yep"

"We have to do something big for your birthday"

"We?" I asked with what I think was a tiny bit of excitement.

"Yea. Your too boring to think of something by yourself" he laughed.

I sighed.

"So the big eighteen huh."

"I'm not that excited"

Just as I said that, a girl walked in and bumped Liam while walking past.

"Sorry about that" she said turning around.

"I don't mind a pretty girl bumping me any day" he smiled at her. She smiled back.

"You flirt a whole lot for someone with a girlfriend"

"I don't have a girlfriend"

I was instantly confused.

"Didn't you just go see her this week?"

"Yea to break up with her."

"So why were you dressed all sexy if it wasn't a date"

"I wanted to look good, letting her down"

"Of course you did" I said rolling my eyes.

So he's single?
Did I call him Sexy? At least he didn't notice.

He dropped me home and helped me put the groceries in the house. He didn't really need to work today so he decided to leave.

Later that night I was laying in bed face timing Liv when I got a text from a number I didn't recognize.

It said "Still think I'm sexy ? 😏"

Crap.
