The Babysitter

Chapter 5: (Aubrey's POV)- Good Luck Escaping

I watched as his jaw clenched for a split second before he laughed humorlessly. "Who said I wanted you to leave? Stay all you want. I'm gonna escape either way," he shrugged while eyeing me head to toe.

"With that thing on your ankle, good luck escaping." I patted his shoulder twice before going and sitting on the couch.

He plopped down beside me, still shirtless may I add.

"Wanna watch a movie?" I suggested while grabbing the remote. He nodded before taking the remote and looking through Netflix to see what we could watch. We settled on the ring. I love scary movies.

I turned the lights off while Xavier went and grabbed hot Cheetos. He and his hot Cheetos.

We ended up watching many more scary movies, and I wasn't aware of how late it was until Mrs. Parker walked through the door. "Hey, guys! How was the day? He didn't cause trouble did he?" she asked me while playfully glaring at Xavier.

"No, he was just fine." I glanced at him before turning back to her.

"Xavier, for god's sake, put a shirt on. You're disturbing the poor girl." She threw his shirt, landing it straight on his face, making me laugh. She set down her keys and took off her jacket. "Thank you for coming today. I know he must have caused a little trouble, I just hope it wasn't too much for you. Would you like to continue? I understand if you don't," she spoke while handing me the twenty-five dollars that she promised.

"I-I can't take this. It wasn't a job today it was just me trying out, please, I can't take this." I placed the money back in her hands. I looked over at Xavier before continuing. "And I'd love to continue. He's great company." I smiled at her.

"Oh," she let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you. We'll continue with twenty-five?" she suggested.

"No." I shook my head. "That's too much, it's unnecessarily too much," I explained. "How about we start at five?" I suggested. I felt horrible taking money from her at all.

I wish I could help her out and do it for free but I know she wouldn't agree to that. She's too nice of a lady. "Oh dear no, that's too little, it's close to nothing. Let's start at fifteen," she suggested.

I began to protest
