Chapter 2: Babysitter
"Bye Kendall!" Dolce, Kendall's friend waved goodbye as Kendall entered the bus.
"I'll see you after vacation Dolce and don't hook up in my bed, I'm serious." Kendall waved to her laughing/tearing friend.
High school was over and Kendall was happy to finally get the chance to go home, back to Mellowbrook.
The trip took 12 hours and just after sunrise, the bus stopped at Mellowbrook where Kendall and several other passengers got off.
"Kendall sweetie." Mrs. Perkins hugged her daughter.
"Hi Mom." 18 year old(A/N:assuming) Kendall greeted.
Mrs. Perkins drove to Mellowbrook after quitting her job during Kendall's junior year and now she's happily living as a housewife in Mellowbrook. She also got rather close with other women in the neighborhood.
"I'm sorry we couldn't come to your graduation, your grandmother insisted on accompanying you so." Mrs. Perkins apologized.
"It's okay Mom." Kendall smiled.
"Well, what are we still doing here? Let's bring your luggage home and cook you some homemade breakfast." Kendall's mom beamed as she pulled Kendall's luggage.
"We're home everyone!" Mrs. Perkins spoke as they entered the front door.
"Welcome home sis." Kendall's sister yawned.
"Thanks." Kendall rolled her eyes.
At least things she left in the place didn't change.
"Go ahead and change Dear. I'll prepare breakfast." Kendall's Mom instructed.
Kendall excitedly ran to her room as the cozy atmosphere she left for years enveloped her.
"Ahhh." She exhaled after laying down her queen-size bed.
The room still held its usual look. Paintings she created during fifth grade hanged on the wall, her desk filled with papers marked with A and A+ also their family picture, her closet still filled with clothes she used to wear back when she was 10. It made her laugh, how her family never even touched a single paper in her room though it showed signs that her mother cleaned the room just recently. Turning back to her bag, she picked out a good pair of casual clothes and descended to the kitchen.
"I cleaned your room but I didn't clean too much since some of the things seemed valuable to you." Mrs. Perkins apologized in a way.
"It's okay Mom thanks, I'll just clean it up after breakfast." Kendall smiled and joined her sibling in eating waffles and berries.
"So, do you have a boyfriend?" Kendall's sister asked.
"Way to start a conversation sis, and I don't. No one seemed interesting to me back in Franklin High." Kendall responded.
Knock! Knock!
Mrs. Perkins removed her apron and headed to the door.
"Kendall, someone's here to see you." Mrs. Perkins said as she escorted an old friend to the Perkins' kitchen.
"Jackie?!" Kendall shrieked and ran to the brunette.
"Oh my gosh! You've changed." Kendall smiled.
Jackie indeed did, her brown hair flowed down to her waist and her braces were off though she still wore glasses it still was a surprise how she changed, she turned out beautiful.
"You're so pretty." Kendall complemented.
"I wish my boyfriend said the same." Jackie mumbled lowly.
"You have a boyfriend?!" Kendall asked wide-eyed.
"Girls, want to join us?" Mrs. Perkins asked.
"It's okay Mrs. Perkins I already had breakfast." Jackie declined.
"We'll be up in my room." Kendall stated and pulled Jackie to her room.
"Okay so start from the beginning." Kendall excitedly spoke after they sat down on her bed.
Jackie frowned at Kendall.
"You're acting like you haven't been gone for six years." Jackie started after Kendall settled down.
"I really missed you Kendall." Jackie smiled and hugged Kendall, a comforting hug.
"I missed you too and I'm sorry, hearing this surprising news it just made me curious." Kendall apologized.
"Wow! Now I know the reason why you didn't feel like you haven't been gone for years." Jackie gasped as she toured her eyes in Kendall's room.
"Yeah, my mom said they looked valuable so she didn't clear it up." Kendall spoke.
"So want to redecorate your room?" Jackie asked,knowing she needed help.
"Sure, I'll go grab some boxes. You can start with the closet." Kendall responded.
"Mom, where are the boxes? Jackie and I are cleaning my room." Kendall asked as she entered the living room.
"Oh, Hi Mrs. Buttowski." Kendall waved.
"Kendall, is that you?" Honey Buttowski asked.
"Wow! You've grown." She added.
"Well, if your looking for boxes, they're in the garage." Mrs. Perkins spoke, answering her daughter's question earlier.
Kendall motioned to leave.
"Sweetie, Mrs. Buttowski here is actually looking for someone to look after Brianna tomorrow. Since your shift in BattleSnax doesn't start till next week, why don't you?" Kendall's mom asked.
Not wanting to decline infront of Mrs. Buttowski, Kendall nodded.
"Thanks Dear I appreciate it." Mrs. Buttowski smiled.
Kendall returned the gestured and headed to the garage where she face palmed herself.
She didn't like the idea, the last time she "looked-after" the Buttowskis, she got played by the Buttowski brothers, trashed their home, and worst part is, it took her three days to remove the dirty smell that was stuck on her hair.
She sighed and took the boxes before going back to her room, finding Jackie playing dress-up with her old clothes.
"So, do I look fab?" Jackie asked and started posing.
Kendall laughed.
"You look silly Jackie and that's not a shawl." Kendall laughed.
"Really? What is it?" Jackie wondered.
"It was my Halloween costume." Kendall replied.
"Oh so are we organizing or just throw the junk in the box?"
"Here, place the papers here and the clothes here." Kendall placed boxes at the edge of the room.
"How 'bout the special ones?"
"Special ones?"
"Yeah, those you want to keep, those that are valuable."
"It's okay, I don't think it's necessary. We can make memories which are a lot valuable in time." Kendall uttered and started packing her old stuff.
After five hours of tape, boxes, and laughter, Kendall and Jackie carried the last boxes to the attic and went to the kitchen for a break.
"Have any plans tomorrow?" Jackie asked after drinking from the soda can.
"Yup, I'm on babysitting duty."
"Babysitting?"
"My mom requested it since my job at BattleSnax still starts next week."
"Well, you are the Queen of Babysitters so it wouldn't be a problem."
"I hope so."
"Who are you babysitting anyway?"
"Brianna Buttowski."
"Buttowski?!" Jackie's eyes grew wide.
"What?"
"Don't pretend like you forgot."
"Oh freaking hell." Kendall dumbfoundedly spoke.
"Clarence."
Her heart skipped a beat, who knew mentioning his name still triggered something inside her.
"Don't worry he's probably gonna head to dead man's drop tomorrow." Jackie spoke, just to lessen her friend's worries.
Hearing Jackie's phone beeped, Kendall gestured her to answer the call.
"Hey, I'm at Kendall's." Jackie nervously spoke.
Kendall arched her eyebrow and listened to her friend's conversation and to whoever was on the other line.
"Really?! Are you hurt? Poor you... Okay, I'll be there in ten." Jackie ended the call.
"I need to go." Jackie grimaced.
"You're just gonna ditch me? Who was that anyway?" Kendall asked.
"Family." Jackie responded.
"That was obviously a lie. It's your boyfriend, isn't it?"
Jackie nodded her head.
"It's not like I'm your mother to forbid you." Kendall sighed.
"I'll make it up to you, I swear." Jackie hugged Kendall.
"Nah, thanks for helping me set up my room." Kendall shook her head.
"Okay so Brianna's busy with her experiment, whatever it is. You just have to check up on her from time to time and bring her lunch since she refuses to leave her room. Also, Raffles hasn't taken her wash yet so if it wouldn't be such a trouble?"
"It's okay Mrs. Buttowski." Kendall smiled.
"I'll leave you a few bucks for pizza." Mrs. Buttowski grabbed her keys and fixed her attire one last time before she headed to the front door.
"Oh and Kick's grounded so ignore any persuasion from him and Gunther." Mrs. Buttowski added before waving goodbye.
Planning on just avoiding the Suburban Daredevil, Kendall headed to Brianna's room.
Knock!
"Hey Bri, your mom just left I just came to check on you if you need anything just shout my name. I'll be at the backyard washing Raffles." Kendall spoke, not bothering to opening the door.
"Sure." Brianna responded.
Tying her up, Kendall headed downstairs and called for Raffles.
"Here, Girl." She called out.
A Siberian Husky barked and ran towards Kendall.
"Hey Girl so wanna take a bath?" Kendall patted the canine.
Raffles wagged her tail and ran to the backyard.
Rinsing the soap off of Raffles' body, Kendall turned off the faucet and watched Raffles judder, drying herself up.
Kendall went to grab towels when she noticed someone in the living room slumped down the sofa, watching TV.
"Excuse me?" Kendall started.
The blonde guy turned his head and jumped from the sofa.
"Who're you?" The well-built guy asked.
"Wait, Gunther?!" Kendall asked.
"Kendall?!" The blonde retorted.
"Wow! I hardly recognized it was you." Gunther spoke in surprise.
"Specially the bosoms." He added, making the female blonde cover her chest with the towel.
"What are you doing here anyways? If you're here for Kick then sorry to say this but I was told not to let him leave the place even if you pleaded me to." Kendall crossed her arms and left Gunther.
"Here Raffles." Kendall called out.
The Husky ran towards her. Kendall dried her up with the towel and plugged in the blower to dry the canine up completely.
"Kendall! Kick's looking for the toothpaste. There's one under the sink." Kendall heard Brianna yell.
Following Brianna's instruction, Kendall took a new box of toothpaste under the sink and headed upstairs.
Kendall entered the room next to Brianna's. Seeing no one in the room, Kendall entered the bathroom and it placed the toothpaste on the sink.
"What are you doing in my room?"
Kendall slowly turned around, meeting a half-naked Kick or was it Brad? She didn't know since the guy had black hair.
"Kick, right? I just brought the toothpaste." She assumed since he was the one who needed toothpaste.
She motioned to leave but stopped when she felt Kick move closer to her.
"But you just got here." His husky voice made Kendall feel weak.
No, Kendall! He doesn't probably know it's you and it's one of his tactics in playing with the babysitter.
Kendall thought to herself and looked for an escape.
"Kick! I'm here." A female voice spoke from downstairs.
Catching Kick's attention, Kendall took the chance and escaped. Exiting his room and closing the door.
Sighing in relief, Kendall knocked at Brianna's room.
"Hey, so shall I order Pizza or do you prefer home cook?" She asked, her heart still beating fast.
"I'd like some salad but Kick probably wants Pizza." Brianna responded.
With this Kendall ordered two pizzas and went to the kitchen to prepare a nice healthy Caesar Salad.
Ding! Dong!
"Gunther, get the door for me will you?" Kendall stated as she mixed the vegetable salad.
"You cook?" Gunther asked after entering the kitchen and placing the pizza boxes on the table.
"Thanks and yeah, most girls should know how to." Kendall replied.
"Oh, Pizza."
Kendall dropped the bowl when she saw Scarlett Rosetti enter the kitchen.
"Careful Mom's chinaware are expensive." Kick spoke as he caught the bowl.
"Oh... Uhmm- I'll go call Brianna." Kendall excused herself, feeling herself shake from seeing Scarlett.
"Bri lunch is ready-" Kendall paused, deadpan on her tracks.
Brianna was kissing Emo Kid.
Brianna's eyes grew wide after noticing Kendall standing on her doorstep. She immediately broke the kiss.
"Please don't tell my brother." Brianna immediately pleaded.
Sighing, Kendall patted the young blonde.
"Come on, I made lunch and bring your friend."
"But-"
"It's okay, I'll talk to your brother." Kendall cut her off.
"That's exactly the problem. Curtis here is Kick's friend and I know he'll be against it if he finds out." Brianna explained.
"Curtis?"
"Emo Kid." Brianna responded.
"Your secret's safe with me. Now, will you please come downstairs?" Kendall asked.
Brianna nodded and gestured her boyfriend to follow.
"Emo Kid? What are you doing here?" Kick asked after the trio reached the kitchen.
"He dropped by earlier and helped Brianna with her experiment." Kendall replied.
"Since when were you interested in chemistry?" The Daredevil asked yet again.
"Just cause he's helping doesn't mean he's good at it, he bought the chemicals your sister needed with her experiment. Will you stop asking questions and just eat." Kendall stated.
Kendall got herself a bowl of salad and was about to eat when her phone rang. She excused herself and answered the phone.
"Jackie, hi." She greeted.
"Hey, so how's babysitting?"
"Awkward but overall great." Kendall honestly responded.
"How is it awkward? Are you avoiding Kick?"
"I tried to and I think he doesn't know that it's me."
"Awkwaarrddd." Jackie prolonged.
"Also, I don't feel well with Scarlett around."
"Scarlett's there?" Jackie asked.
"Yeah she helped me escape from Kick and also sent shivers down my spine."
"Escape from Kick? Did he lock you up?" Jackie asked, worried.
"Well in a way, can we not talk about what happened?" Kendall uttered, wanting what happened in Kick's bathroom stay there.
"Can I ask you something about emo kid-"
"He's there?" Jackie exclaimed.
"Yeah." Kendall responded.
"But they're not suppose to meet at Brianna's house." Jackie mumbled.
"You know about them?" Kendall asked.
"Yeah, I caught them dating at the school's rooftop just before summer. Brianna pleaded me not to say anything... Pfffft, like I would talk to Kick. Anyways, I didn't know you knew."
"I accidentally caught them making out in Brianna's room and she asked me to do the same so I made up an alibi."
"Well, I should talk to you later you probably have things to do there." Jackie bid.
"Yeah, thanks for the call." Kendall thanked and ended the call.
"Kendall?!"
Kendall rushed back in after hearing her name.
"What? What's wrong?" She asked.
"You're Kendall?" Kick asked, pointing at her.
Kendall nodded.
"Told you. I was surprised too." Gunther uttered.
"When did you even arrive town?" Kick asked.
"Yesterday." Kendall replied but what bothered her was the undefined look Scarlett was giving her.
"Anyways, finish up that pizza and let's go already." Scarlett spoke after noticing Kendall looking at her.
"Wait, you can't leave. You're grounded." Kendall cut in.
"I got nothing to do anyways." Kick shrugged.
"Look, that's not the point here. You are grounded, that means you can't leave the house." Kendall stated rather sternly.
"And if I don't want to?" Kick smirked.
"Oh, Clarence. Did you forget? I'm the Queen of Babysitters." Kendall spoke boldly.
"You might've played me before but you can't escape me now." Kendall added.
"I think I should eat my lunch in my room." Brianna stated, knowing that things would go messy.
"Yeah, we should probably wait for you outside." Gunther nodded and pushed Scarlett out.
Emo kid followed Brianna and ascended to her room.
"Arff!"
Kendall turned her head and looked at Raffles. Kick took his chance and ran to his room for his Ol' Blue.
"Kick!" Kendall yelled and ran after him.
Kendall forcefully pulled Kick before he could jump down the window.
"Oh no you don't." Kendall spoke.
Before Kick could run to the door, Kendall tackled him, making both of them fall flat on the ground.
"On second thought, I think I'm starting to like this." Kick smirked as he sat up.
Kendall fell on top of Kick, more specifically on top of Kick's lower body. Kendall raised her head and had contact with Kick's crotch, making the Suburban Daredevil smirk.
Kendall blushed and lowered her head, literally making contact with Kick's crotch. Kendall earned a moan from the guy, making her have an idea.
She slowly rubbed Kick's upper thigh, making him moan the second time.
Distracted, Kick failed to notice the blonde below her grabbed the shoelace and tied him up on the bed.
"And the Queen reigns again." Kendall stood with glory.
"Aw, biscuits!" Kick muttered.
"I'm sure that'll hold you for half an hour, knowing your Daredevil skills. So I'll just go down to get some pizza and be right back." Kendall winked before leaving the tied Daredevil alone.
"Hey Kendall so is it over?" Gunther nervously asked.
"Yup, and I apologize but Clarence won't be joining you today." Kendall grinned.
"Why's that?"
"He agreed on staying with me and let me catch up to things I've missed this past years." Kendall responded before passing by Gunther and heading back to Kick's room where she caught Kick struggling to free himself.
"Give it up Clarence you can't get out and even if you do I'll tie you back again." Kendall spoke as she slid down the floor and took a bite from the pizza.
"Would you at least feed me?" Kick gave up.
"Sure Clarence." Kendall smirked and crawled forward to Kick.
A little tease wouldn't hurt, right?
Kendall thought and leaned closer to Kick.
Kendall motioned to feed Kick and just before he can take a bite, Kendall withdrew her hand and took a bite from the pizza before grinning and pressing their lips together.
Whatever possessed Kendall? Kick didn't want it to leave. He enjoyed the blonde's treatment of him though it was surprising it pleased him so he let it slid.
Feeling her tongue push against his lips, Kick opened his lips allowing entrance for Kendall.
Kick tasted the pizza's flavor as he tangled lips with Kendall.
Kendall then leaned back.
"How was it?" She asked.
"Best pizza I ever tasted." Kick smiled.
"Kendall, I'm back. Kids?"
Kendall stood up after hearing Mrs. Buttowski.
"How do I even untie myself?" Kick asked before Kendall could leave.
"You sure you're tied?" Kendall asked and left the room.
Kick held his hands, surprise to see them free from restrains.
Summer just got interesting.
Kick smirked.
