Babysitter~h.s.

t w e n t y - t h r e e | Allana

"Heyyy" I heard someone who spoke from the side and saw Josh, holding his bag on his shoulder, and leaning against the locker beside me.

"Hey" I told him. I finished fixing my stuff from my locker and closed it, to be able to talk to him properly. I had the urge to observe him from head to toe. His hair slick back, his face is flawless as usual his outfit on point and topping it off with the varsity jacket.

"So uh, was wondering if you're still on with our date this Saturday?" he immediately asked since I think that was the only thing he wanted to tell me.

"Oh it's this Saturday?" I was surprised and at the same time had second thoughts on going to that date with him. I think he sensed it too.

"Do you still want to go or I'm assuming you made plans already on that day?" I saw him biting his lip as a sign of nervousness and a hint of disappointment in his eyes. I looked at him because maybe he was looking forward to it and he really was my high school crush.

"No no. I really do want to go with you" I assured him as I put on a smile.

"Great! Pick you up at 5" he smiled and did not hesitate to kiss me on my cheek. I blushed for a moment, but then realized how Harry would react if I told him after he saw me and Josh at the party and after me and him kissed.

"Am I dreaming or did Josh just talked to you and to top it off, kissed you in public?" I heard Hannah's voice while she stood in front of me, cutting off my gaze with Josh walking away.

"Actually he kissed me on the cheek and yeah we talked. He wanted to know if I was busy on Saturday" I told her as we were both walking in the hallways since it was free time before classes started.

"Oh. My. God." I'm pretty sure those were three sentences since she didn't even say them continuously. "My best friend is going out with her high school crush" she was practically squealing.

"Am actually having second thoughts about it" I said. I wasn't sure about it at the moment. I mean, I was always sure about some things, but this time I didn't know if I want to do it or not. Although, I couldn't waste an opportunity to get to know him over dinner.

"What makes you think you don't want to go on a date with him?" instead of replying to her, I was floating in my own air bubble of thought. Thinking on how to tell Harry about this. "Is this because of your 'babysitter' Harry?" she put air quotes on the word babysitter.

"What?! No. Am just not sure if I would be able to survive this date" lame excuse, but hope she bought it.

She stopped and looked at me. "Don't tell me you're falling for him?"

"Who?"

"Don't act dumb" she said while shaking her head as she continued. "Harry" I could sense she was being concerned at the moment with me.

"No" I denied, but like I said, I wasn't sure of anything right now. Even if it's involving my emotions or feelings towards something or someone. 

"Or did he already tell you how he feels about you?" she asked and soon my eyes lit up when she mentioned that to me. I then didn't show any reaction, but a face filled with despair and confusion. "Oh no. How'd it go? What did you say?"

I started to tell her everything before the school bell rings. 

----

"So I picked a movie where it's a combination of action, thriller, comedy and a bit of romance--Zombieland" he said as he put the CD in the DVD player while I sat down on the couch after placing the food that we ordered on the coffee table. "I know you hate thriller movies, but I promise you, you'll love this one"

He got the remote control while I thought of how I would tell him about my date with Josh. "Uhm, Harry?"

"Yeah" he replied, but not looking at me, but instead focused his eyes on the TV. Trying to figure out how to play the movie. I fixed myself in a sitting Indian position. My hair was up in a messy bun, wearing a loose sweater and some shorts while Harry was wearing a muscle tee and some shorts as well.

"Can I ask you something? But you promised to react nicely about it" I assured him. Soon, his focus went from the TV to me. 

"Uh oh, did I do something wrong?" he asked feeling guilty of something.

"You didn't do something wrong. I just need you to be calm about it" I assured him before telling him what it was.

"You remember Josh Manky?" I felt nervous just by mentioning that name to him.

He raised his eyebrow since he knows he hates it when I mention his name again. "What about him?" his tone was different now.

"Well, he asked me out on a friendly date and I was hoping if it's okay with you that I go on that date with him" good thing I said it, but still a bit nervous on his reaction towards it. Hope he's okay with it.

"Allana, you do know how I feel about that guy?" he started off. Oh boy. Here it goes again. 

"We already talked about this before. He's not like that." I tried to convince him that Josh is a good guy.

"I made my feelings for you perfectly clear" he said while holding my hands at the same time. I looked at them then back at Harry. "I like you Allana. I just don't want you to choose him over me" he is really serious about his feelings for me. I wasn't even sure if I had the same feelings about him either. 

"I know I shouldn't say this, but it's not your choice if I want to go on this date or not. I mean, I consider your feelings too, but this is just a date. We won't know what happens during and after dinner and maybe I'll make up my mind about these confused feelings" I told him while holding his hands.

He then showed a reaction of sadness and soon my hand placed it's way to his cheek for comfort. "Hey, don't worry. I'm not a one-sided person." I told him just to calm him down. I didn't know how serious he was with me. Never had some guy who is more romantic than me. 

"I just like you so much Allana. I don't want you to get hurt." he said while he moved himself closer to me so our foreheads are touching each other. I put on a smile seeing him being sweet and soft on me. 

"I know" I didn't know why I did it, but felt myself moving my lips closer to his and soon we started kissing one another. It was sweet and gentle then he stopped. 

"Okay. You can go with him. Just tell me your plan on where he's taking you and what time" he replied and soon I was happy inside. He saw me smiling and kissed me on my cheek. We then started watching the movie while eating our food.
