The Sitter

Chapter: 26

"Liam watches my little brother" I said to Evan "and Evan is my biology tutor" I said to Liam.

"Its been a while man" Evan says to Liam

"Yea its been too long" Liam replies

"Lets go to my room" I said heading out of the kitchen. He followed me upstairs and sat at my desk while I took a seat on the floor.

"So your really Miranda's sister? But you're nothing like her." I say

"You know Miranda?"

"Yea I uh met her at a Christmas party. Lets just say she hates me"

" Please do not tell me you're the vomit girl"

"Unfortunately"

He laughs but then suddenly stops

"Wait then that means you're dating Liam"

"I'm not. We're not. Well not anymore"

"No wonder he looks at you like that"

"Like what?" I asked curiously

"Like there's something there"

"Well there isn't. That ship sailed"

"Thats good to hear" he smiles.

"Lets get started on this Biology"

He stayed for 2 hours. It went great. I learned more with him than a weeks worth of classes, it was amazing. We talked more as I walked in to the front door.

"So where should we go for our date?" He asked

"You decide." I say "But nothing too romantic." I add

"I know just the thing" he says. I'll text you."

"Great" i say as he leaves.

"Miranda's brother? Really? You're dating the girl that ruined our relationships brother?"

"You ruined our relationship not her. And we are not dating"

"He's not good for you trust me" he say

"Stay out of my business Liam" I say storming off.

The next morning, I had to drop Sam off at my Dads. I thought he was staying at a hotel until my mom texted me the address. When we arrived a woman opened the door. She was short with blonde hair. She had on a black satin robe and slippers to match.

"Hi. Oh you must be Melanie"

"Who are you?" I ask

"I'm Paula. I guess no one hasn't mentioned me yet. Thats understandable"

"Where's my dad?"

"He's in the shower hun. Why don't you and Sam come in"

We both walked inside. "Sam why don't you go to your room. There's a surprise in there for you. It may or may not be a new lego set" she teases.

"Bye Mel" he says dropping his bag and running up the stairs

"His room?" I thought to myself. What is going on ?

"A few minutes later my dad came downstairs with a matching robe.

You have got to be kidding me.

"Morning Mel" he says.

"Can we talk outside" I say walking out the front door

"Is this what you have been doing?" I say angrily as he shuts the door

He's quiet.

"Who is that? Your mistress?"

"Mel"

"So you've been cheating on Mom, and now you've made this slut your girlfriend? Bringing Sam around her. He even has a room here? What the hell is going on?"

"Mel your mom and I grew apart. You can ask her yourself. Its not healthy for us to be together. We're just trying our best not to harm our family in the process of this divorce"

"I didn't cheat on your Mom. We've been separated for a year now"

I couldn't believe this.

"Why don't you guys tell me anything? I'm not a little girl."

"Because we know its going to break your heart"

"Well finding out like this doesn't help either" I say walking off.

I was so disgusted with him right now. And the worst part was I had no one to talk to.

Friday came fast. I was in no mood for a date but I didn't want to cancel. It was just a movie anyways.

He picked me up at 9:00. When we got to the movie theater he bought our ticket. As we went up the escalator I looked at the ticket as it read "Nymphomaniac: Volume 1". I've heard of this movie before but I didn't know what it was about.

"Evan what is this movie about ?"

"Its about a nymphomaniac telling a man who saved her about all her erotic experiences. I think you'll enjoy it"

"So a nymphomaniac must be -"

"An addiction to sex. Yes"

I didn't know what to think or how to feel about the movie. I was at the point where Shia Labeouf was pounding the main character. I leaned over and whispered to Evan.

"This movie is weird"

"Do you like it?" He asked

"Uh sure. Its just not something I would normally go see"

"It's so fascinating" he says looking at me. His hand makes its way to my thigh.

I knew my attraction to him was there but I still had to try to stop it.

I moved his hand away, and left my seat. I went to the bathroom and washed my face. I was thinking about my parents again. I walked out and found Evan outside waiting for me.

"I'm sorry" he said " I didn't mean to come onto you like that. I mean I do you like you but thats not how I wanted to show it. And I'm sorry for bringing you to this movie."

"Evan shut up" I say laughing. "I'm not mad at you. My mind is just somewhere else. My parents are divorcing and thats all I can think about"

"Wow. I'm really sorry. Do you wan't me to take you home?"

"No its just gonna make me feel worse. I actually just want to finish the movie"

"Really?"

"Yea. I just want to see to Shia Labeouf's again" I smile trying to lighten the mood

"Mines is better" he says making me laugh

As we pull up at my house he says goodnight.

"Look Evan I know you said you liked me earlier but you should know I just got out of a relationship so I'm not looking for one right now. I hope I haven't lead you on"

"Thats totally understandable. But you should know I'm a very patient guy and I really don't mind waiting"

I couldn't help but smile.

"Goodnight" I say.
