Summer Babysitting Job

Chapter Nineteen

We were sitting at the little table, eating cereal, when Hunter's phone started ringing.

"It's Callie."

We all went silent as Hunter answered the phone. I tried to listen, but before a "hey" was spoken, he left the room.
I ate slowly, trying to pass the time.

Callie never talks to Hunter. Not since they broke up.

That reminded me of something.
"Wes, have you ever had sex before?" I asked. I thought back to the night when I warned him about her. Laughing to myself, I remembered Wes saying, "It's not like I haven't 'done it' before."

"Nope. Why?"

"When I warned you about Callie, you told me that you had. But you a lied."

"You know, I only flirted with her because I liked you. You were my first kiss, actually," Wes responded.

"Aw, and you graduated high school before you even kisses a girl," I said, pinching his cheek.

"Hello, I'm still here," Aiden said.

"Don't worry, dear, we didn't forget about you," I said, reaching over to pinch his cheek, also.

A knock sounded at the door. I rushed over, not caring that I only had on a pair of shorts and a tank top.

"Hey," I greeted, letting Lily and Josh inside. Wes and Aiden waved from the table, their mouths full of food.

"Hey, we brought Doritos, Cheeto Puffs, and a few movies," Josh offered.
Smiling, I set the chips on the counter and looked through the movies. There was Iron Man 3, Titanic, and Spaceballs.

"Spaceballs? I love that movie!" I yelled, jumping up and down in glee.

"Spaceballs it is," Aiden said, taking the case from me to put it in.

I grabbed cans of Mountain Dew and Diet Coke from the fridge and offered them to Lily and Josh. They both chose Diet Coke.

I took a Mountain Dew for myself, and settled on the couch. Wes plopped down next to me, and took a sip of my soda.

Hunter came into the room and we all looked up.

"She apologized. She wants to try again."

It wasn't the first time Callie had said that. A few weeks after they broke up, she wanted to go on another date, and they ended up arguing over dinner. But other than that, they haven't talked.
I nodded slowly, telling him that he might as well say yes.

Sitting down, Hunter typed something on his phone. He was probably texting her about it.

Aiden started the movie, and we all sat on the two couches. I cuddled up against Wes.

Spaceballs is such a funny movie. Someone has to be really clever to come up with all of that.

I laughed pretty much the whole time, not even noticing Wes finish my Mountain Dew. After it was over, it was only 11. We started the movie at nine this morning?

"Hey, Jeanie, wanna go to the mall with me for a little bit? The boys want to hang out without us," Lily asked.

I nodded, and went into my room to get dressed. I threw on a pair of leggings and a sweater. Then I grabbed my satchel and followed Lily outside.

She must've known the way to the mall, so I just followed her. Indeed she did, when we ended up in Forever 21.

"Oh my god, this would look really good on you," she said, holding up a flanel shirt.
