5SOS - Babysat By Idiots 2

Chapter 63

Ashton had that nice beard and faint moustache going on. You know the one.

He never lets it grow out too long. I like that. His beard suits him. I wanted to say something out loud about it. So I said, "Wow. That thing you got growing out you face, Ash. Are you like, fertilizing that or something?"

Ashton looked at me with his eyebrows raised and a smile. I smirked.

He said jokingly, "Girl, you are not talking about my beard or imma' whup your -- "

"Ashton." Said Calum sternly.

Ashton shook his head at me while laughing. I laughed too.

After getting a good stretch (and a good laugh) I went back onto the couch and put my feet to the side.

Calum was still watching Daily Planet. I wasn't very amused by the show. It had a lot of stuff that I didn't understand. I asked, "Calum, can we watch something else? This is boring."

"No, it's not," he protested.

"Yeah, it is," I said back.

He looked at me and said, "Fine. You wanna watch something else? Here." He pointed the remote at the TV and changed the channel.

How It's Made. That's what he changed to. 😑 I glared at him and he smiled. I was then forced to watch another boring show that Calum liked on the TV because I had nothing better to do.

They were making different types of ice cream. Like, seriously. Now they're getting machines to make food? Come on. And it's definitely not the best time to watch this kind of stuff when I'm trying not to eat. Now they're just trying to tempt me.

Calum got off the couch went into the kitchen. I spread out my legs taking up his spot. I was laying there bored out of my mind.

As I continued to watch ice cream being made, I noticed that it was quite mesmerizing. Dipping the ice cream into the chocolate looked so beautiful.

I think that I actually broke the record of not blinking for the longest time. My eyes were just peeled on the screen.

Calum came back into the living room and saw that I had taken his spot.

So he simply picked up my legs, sat back down, and then let my feet rest in his lap.

I could hear Ashton and Calum saying stuff, but I wasn't paying attention to them. I was too focused on the screen.

5 more minutes of watching the ice cream, and my eyes began to feel droopy. Like I was going to sleep. It was so mesmerizing that it was actually tiring me out.

My eyes almost closed but then I shot them back open again. I needed to see them make ice cream sandwiches.

It was soooooo satisfying. I had to close my eyes. Next thing I knew, I was out like a light.

"Boop... Boop... Boop..."

I heard a voice that sounded a lot like Ashton and it felt like my cheek was being poked constantly in sync with the sounds that I heard.

"Boop... Boop... Boop..."

I realized soon enough that Ashton was poking my cheek while constantly saying the words, Boop. I groaned and opened my eyes.

"Good! You're awake," said Ashton. He was standing front of the couch hovering over me casting a huge shadow.

"Boy, you slept for a looooong time," said Ashton.

"What?" I said.

"It's 9:00, Nicole. You must've been really tired." said Ashton.

"Uhh, yeah," I replied.

Ashton stopped hovering over me and said, "You missed dinner."

"Oh," I said. That's when I remembered that I wasn't eating anyway, so it made no real difference.

I laid there for 4 more seconds until Ashton said, "Well you clearly won't be able to go to sleep tonight. If you want, you can stay up with me and Michael."

I was now wide awake. I looked at Ashton and said, "Really?"

He nodded and said, "Yeah. We're going to be in my room playing some video games."

"Okay," I said.

Ashton walked away and I sat up. Looking outside, it was raining. Although it was dark outside, I could still see the the raindrops falling down.

I yawned and stood up. I grabbed my iPod and checked for any messages. There were none, and that's what I like to call, GOOD. I was wayyy too tired to talk to anyone.

So I went into the kitchen and opened the fridge, totally forgetting my little diet I was on.

I saw a red velvet cake in there with 2 pieces cut out of it.

I pulled it out and decided to eat s slice. I put the cake back into the the fridge and got a fork.

As I was about to take a bite of the cake, that's when I remembered. Oops, I thought.

But then my mind changed, and I was like, SCREW IT, and I took a bite out of that cake. It felt good, and I didn't regret it for a second.
