The Babysitter

Chapter 11: (Aubrey's POV)- Did I Just Think That?

My phone dinged numerous times, pulling me out of my slumber. I fished around for it on the nightstand and finally found it. I opened my eyes, being blinded by the sun and the brightness of my phone.

There were a bunch of texts from Violet and a text from my mom letting me know she's already gone back to work.

She needs to take a day off, she could use a break.

Then, I opened my chat with Vi. Big mistake.

My phone began going crazy as soon as her messages began popping up and everything was glitching soon enough. I just stared at my screen monotonously as all the texts she sent loaded. I looked through them and they all consisted of freaking out and fangirling over Ace at the beach.

Let me correct that, shirtless Ace. I did what anyone would do to piss their best friend off and just responded with:

'K'

Cruel. I know.

I placed my phone back on the nightstand and stretched in my seat, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes before letting out a sigh.

I leaned my head against the headboard while closing my eyes and just letting myself wake up when a door opening made me jump. I caught myself before I fell off the freaking bed and groaned under my breath before looking in front of me to see Xavier stepping out of his bathroom and into his room with grey joggers and no shirt as his hair was drenched, suggesting he just showered with a few droplets sprayed on his chest.

My eyes widened and I turned my gaze down to my lap before getting caught off guard, again.

He looked hot.

Did I just think that?

He snickered before speaking, "Oh, you're up," he stated the obvious. Well yeah, no shit Sherlock.

"Yup. I'm up." I nodded awkwardly. Just staring at the blanket while my finger fiddled with nothing.
