The Babysitter

Chapter #9: Thor

"I uh uh not cry." I whispered.

I didn't want him to know I was crying but my eyes are puffy and watered.

"I'm uh sweaty..." I told him even though it was a complete lie.

"Um not to seem rude or anything but uh I asked if your okay not if your sweaty. Even though it is kind of hot. And again why I'm I on the floor?" Canyon said rubbing his head in the process.

Yeesh he really hit his head if he doesn't remember anything.

"Well you see-"

"Wait. I was going to go to a party with some friends and I was black mailing you! Oh no did I make you cry again? I'm honestly sorry although you ruined my plans. And I'm slightly intimidated of you, even though I'm bigger."

"No I'm not crying I'm just sweating, I'm fine. Sorry about your eye. Your mom's going to kill me."

"Yeah sweating, right. Why do you have my phone? How'd you figure out the passcode? Have you gone through my photo gallery?"

"Uh Claire wanted to see Thor, which by the way I didn't expect her to like Thor. And no I haven't gone through your photo gallery."

Even though I did, just to delete my photos but obviously I'm not going to tell him that.

"Uh that might have been my fault... we watched the Thor movie and all the avengers movies with Thor. So now she has a thing for Thor and hammers. Alrighty toss meh the phone well ya." He said rather too nicely.

He should smile more often too, it makes him seem less intimidating.
In the process of admiring his smile I tossed him his phone.

"What? Do I have something in my face?"

Oh my blob he caught me staring...

"Uh yeah, a bruise." I blurted out like an idiot.
Why do I keep opening my mouth?!? I push his buttons and it's funny but there's a place and time Stanley!

"Oh uh yeah forgot..." He stated kind of disappointed that his thought was wrong.

Whatever he was thinking.

He then got up and sat on the couch. The layout was me, Claire's head on my lap, then Canyon on the other side of Claire.

"Gaaaawwwwd. I feel like I just had a hangover..." Canyon whispered.

"How do you know how a hangover feels? I mean if I may know." I asked him lightly knowing that Claire was sleeping.

"Stanley I've trashed my parents place and was blackmailing you. A side from a lot of other stuff, you really think I haven't drank? I'm 19 still in high school and soon to be 20... I've done a lot of unethical stuff, drinking is the smallest thing I've done." He commented back but he didn't seem mad he seemed disappointed in himself.

Both of us sat there in silence and watched the television that wasn't turned on.
I would obviously glance in what the others were doing through the tablet but they were all knocked out. I mean I'd also knock out but I need to watch them.

(A/N: Knock out- Sleeping)

I felt the atmosphere heavy and it seemed as if he was going to cry and I couldn't let that happen because I'm too sensitive then I'd start crying. So I said something dumb out of the moment.

"Unethical hu... didn't know you knew that word." I had whispered back smiling and looked at him.

I tried to make it sound like I was teasing but I knew I shouldn't have said anything.

"Yeah, there's a lot of things you don't know about me..." Canyon said while chuckling lightly so Claire wouldn't wake up.
He even gave me a wink.

He seemed so care free. We stared at each other for a while but my stomach growled loud. Okay that nice moment went to the drain with my stomach.

We started chuckling together and it seemed nice. Although my guard isn't down, you guys really think I'll just chill with him. No he blackmailed me. I'm going to enjoy this moment but I gots to get him back. 😏

"I see your hungry. I'll take Claire to her crib. If you want you can leave it's getting late." He offered me.

"What? You're trying to get me in trouble again. You're going to trash the place again. Oh no!" I whispered while chuckling.

I knew he was trying to give me a break because it was a long day but I'm getting paid to take care of them so it's not fair for me to leave him to do the work.

"Hm. Okay I'm taking Claire to her room. I'll be back and since your not leaving when I come back I'm going to expect an explanation of why you sweat a lot." He said, grabbing Claire.

Oh great. He's demanding things from me again. What's wrong with him? Even though when he left I was still sitting on the couch smiling.

Man I love my job. It's really hard but these kids are amazing even though some are more trouble than others.

Gah. I'm hungry but I'm lazy. I should get up and get food but I'm tired.

Okay I'll use the force!

Food! I'm summoning you! Come to me!

*PLOP*
Hm. Oh it's a granola bar! You guys! I managed to use the force and bring myself food!

"A thank you would be nice."

"Seriously! I thought I had summoned this with the force!"

"I guess you were wrong. I also have peanuts, trail mix, and some water." Canyon told me and sat next to me on the couch.

"Oh my blob. You brought me food! Thank you. Even though it would've been better if the force actually worked... wait knowing you, you want something. What do you want?" I stated while eating my granola bar.

"You are right! Why were you sweating? I brought you food. You tell me what up. I know I'm mean but I'm the only one allowed to annoy you and make you cry. Even though when you cry it's sad but funny." He told me.

"I don't want to tell you anything. I'm uncomfortable." I had quickly rambled scooching to the end of the couch.

"Okay I won't push any further but I'm trustworthy, usually not all the time but usually so I'll listen, okay?" He sincerely stated.

A/N: I accidentally pressed publish. It was supposed to go longer but I guess. Enjoy!
