The Babysitter

Chapter 20: Shit

Chapter 20: (Aubrey's POV)- Shit!

We were finishing up dinner in a comfortable silence until Catherine broke it. "Aubrey, honey," she caught my attention. "Do you plan on coming tomorrow?" she questioned.

I was confused but kept it hidden. "Um- yeah I was planning to. Why?" I asked.

She seemed hesitant but she explained anyway. "I was thinking you should get a day off. You've been coming every day," she laughed but it wasn't genuine it seemed a little... nervous?

"I like coming here. I won't if you don't want me to. I understand if there's something important that I shouldn't be here for," I informed her as I felt Xavier stiffen beside me.

"Yeah, there's something like that. You can come the day after though. You can get back on schedule then," she smiled sadly.

"Why? No, I want her here tomorrow. It's been fine so far," Xavier spoke up from beside me.

"Honey, I know you two enjoy each other's company but not tomorrow," Catherine said a little more seriously and sternly.

"Why, mom?" His hands formed into fists under the table which I could see from my peripheral vision.

"It's okay." I awkwardly laughed, sensing the tension in the air.

"No, it's not. It's not like anyone's coming to see me or anything important is happening. I met you and I have fun with you, more than anyone else." He turned to me and ranted in pure anger.

"Something important is happening! Your father is coming!" Catherine shouted in rage, making me jump slightly. She was scary when she was mad.

The table went silent. You could hear a pin drop I'm not even kidding.

"It's just one day," I whispered to Xavier.

"I don't wanna see him. And it has nothing to do with her. I'm not meeting him," Xavier spoke, leaving no room for argument.

"You don't have a choice, Xavier."
