The Babysitter(Ethan Dolan)

26

For MichelleByrne8

"Aaliyah.. Aaliyah wake up.." I heard someone calling to me followed by a lot of violent shaking. I slowly opened my eyes to see Ethan, or excuse me, Grayson dressed up in a jean jacket with a grey hoodie underneath and some regular blue jeans. "Grayson.. What time is it and why are you dressed?" I asked, my voice sounding raspy. I could hear Grayson giggle as he squatted down to face me on the bed. "It's only 8 at night, and I want to take you somewhere special, since we kind of got off on the wrong foot earlier." Grayson replied. I wiped my eyes and turned to see if Ethan was asleep. And of course he was, otherwise Grayson wouldn't be in here.

"Does Alexa know about this?" I asked sitting up on the bed. Grayson looked away from me and smiled. "I don't think that would matter where we're going. Just trust me just this once and get dressed." He answered pulling me out of bed. Well I have nothing else to lose. Might as well go out for a while. I put on some light blue skinny jeans and a black Aeropostal t-shirt and headed downstairs. With that, Grayson and I slipped out of the house slicker than hair gel.

"So, you ready to have fun?" Grayson asked putting his seatbelt on. I looked at him and grinned. "I would be if I knew where we were going."

"Well I want that to be a surprise so don't answer that." He laughed. His laugh was so cute. Just like Ethan's, but a little more high pitched. I smiled at the thought of his laughter and looked over at Grayson who just started up the car. Can't wait to see where we're going.

Skipping drive

We pulled up near the dock, where the Carnival was where all the big bright colorful lights showcased every ride. I gasped and threw my arms around Grayson. I've never been to the carnival here before. So you can imagine how excited I am. "Now. Are you ready to have fun?" He asked pushing open the car door with one arm, the other wrapped around me. "Yeah! Of course!" I said breaking through his arms, and out of the car door. As soon as my body hit the outside of the car, I gained goosebumps. I forgot to bring a jacket, but I didn't know we were going near water. But I'll manage.

We started into the carnival and I instantly smelled food. Don't judge me, I know I am a fatty😋! But the sight was more beautiful than the smell. There was corn dogs, hot dogs, cotton candy, candy, nachos, burritos, ice cream, just food on top of food!
The scent just caused my mouth to water, and soon I just felt like a hungry wolf. Yep, I'm not myself when I'm hungry😉😉(get it?). "Look at all the food.." I blurted out. Grayson looked down at me and grinned putting his arm around me.

"Well first, let's buy some wristbands for the ride, and then we'll get something to eat. K?" He said snuggling his face against my cheek. "OK." I responded wrapping my arms around his waist. After we bought wristbands and got a stamp on our wrist we headed out to the dock where the food court was. I'm in food heaven😊😊.. "Whatever you want you can have.." Grayson replied kissing my temple. I know that should've bothered me but it didn't. I was too much in awe. I looked at his lips and couldn't help myself. I pressed my lips against his and his lips fit perfectly onto mine, like Ethan's. Ethan.. I pulled away from him quickly and ran to the nachos. They were calling my name.

Grayson trailed behind me and looked up at the big Nacho's sign in front of us. "Is this all what you want?" He asked pulling out his wallet, showcasing a few hundreds. "Well.. I did want some candy.." I suggested. He chuckled and pulled 10 dollars out of his wallet. "Anything for you princess." Uncomfortable level rising. Did Grayson just call me princess? Still like the dumbest person I am, I ignored it and smiled."Two nachos please with two large Pepsis." Grayson said to the employee, who seems to not like his job. "Will that be large nachos or medium? Because sir you gave me 10 dollars." The boy grumbled as he put the money in the cash register. Grayson looked at me and then the cashier. "Um medium I guess." He said shrugging.
"For both?" The cashier asked.
"I think that applied for both, yeah." Grayson replied sounding a little frustrated. The cashier sighed and ripped the receipt from the register and gave Grayson his change. "There you go sir and your change was 2.95. Your order number is 17. Thank you, have a nice night."

Grayson and I traveled to a table nearest to the water. Which I don't understand why but we did. We sat down and waited for the cashier to call us over for our food. "So.. Why did you bring me here?" I asked staring at the swan swimming past us. "I don't know.. To make it up to you for earlier. That was kind of out of hand." Grayson said looking down. I looked at him and gave him a soft but kind smile. "Aww.. Well it's definitely working! I'll tell you that."

"And also to tell you that, I'm sorry. You know I can't help myself, your so pretty." Grayson apologizes, staring back into my eyes. "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have lead you on." I said looking back at the swans. They were just so beautiful. And close. It sort of reminded me of my relationship with Ethan. "But I was kind of hoping we'd have fun tonight. So let's eat and then get on some rides!" Grayson said. After we ate, Grayson and I got on so many rides like the Typhoon and Zero Gravity. Bumper cars was the most fun though. Grayson and I chased eachother around in those cars although there was other people there too, it felt like it was only us two.

Then, Grayson won me this giant teddy bear with a santa hat on it. I had so much fun.. I wish Ethan and Alexa was with us though. But after that it was time for us to get home. I didn't want to be out too late. Plus I was falling asleep on the ride home. As soon as we got home, I saw the lights in the living room on. Grayson and I both exchanged frightened looks as we headed to the door. "I know you're scared but listen to me, we only went out to the carnival to have fun and get to know each other. That's all." Grayson said pushing the key in the keyhole.

When he opened the door, Ethan and Alexa were both sitting on the couch. Waitimg for us. I held my breath as Ethan stared me down. And once again guilt ran all through my blood.
