Chapter 12 It Came From Beneath the Seaduck Part 2
I felt someone shook me trying to wake me up and I moaned softly trying to get back to sleep. Last night or yesterday I helped Rebecca cook for lunch and dinner for everyone and after that I helped with loading the cargo and play with Molly and Kit. Right now I feel very exhausted and couldn't sleep from last night can't get my mind off Shere Khan's invitation for his 30th anniversary Business coming next Wednesday as today is Saturday which means I got four days until. I groaned and still felt someone shook my shoulder and said.
"Ashley! Ashley! Come on Ash wake up!" I heard Kit call and got on my bed and shook my shoulder more.
"Kit, it 7 am what so early?" I muttered covering my blanket over to get some more sleep but Kit quickly tugged the blanket off reveling my whole plum nightgown, I gripped the blanket but he manage to get it off the bed and I tried to find another one to cover myself with feeling my body shivering.
"Come on Ashley wake up!" He jumps on me to get me awake. We need to get ready to go babysit Molly and I want to be prepared," I yawned and use the pillow to cover my head.
"Kit, it's too early to get ready. Go back to sleep,"
"Come on Ash." He complained and tries to pull my pillow off my head but I gripped the pillow with my arm tightly not wanting to leave the pillow giving me warmth on my face. Kit was pulling to hard that he accidentally slipped falling back fast and crashed on the ground and groan in pain. I heard him huffed and charged up at me and head butted my pillow made me grunted. I peek through my pillow and saw his pouty look he's giving me.
"You promised!" He reminded me. I remember I promised him I would help him get ready to babysit of the things and rules he need to follow before we leave for Rebecca's apartment this morning.
"Okay okay I'm up," I grumbled taking off my pillow. Kit beamed and jump off my bed.
"Yeah!" I rubbed my eyes and yawned once more to get my tiredness out of me and saw him quickly left out of my room to let me change. I smack my lips and got out of my bed feeling the cold floor that made whole body shudder. I sighed softly decide to take a quick shower to get rid the dirt and wash my hair. After I got with that I dried my hair and put on my original clothing before going out into the kitchen for some breakfast. Kit was sitting on the chair looking excited having his paper and pen on the clipboard.
"Morning Kit," I greeted grabbing out some cereal and milk for breakfast. I also got two bowls for Kit while and watch him wrote down the rule sign and jog down numbers of each rules.
"I cannot wait to babysit Molly today, this is the perfect time I can prove Miss Cunningham that she can trust me and always ask me to baby sit Molly." He said excitedly. I laughed.
"First time babysitting?" I asked pouring milk in my bowl. He nodded as I hand him the milk.
"You betcha. I woke up Baloo before I wake you so he could get ready," He added and begin to eat his cereal. I quickly pray to God for blessing this food and help my family not to worried about me and help me find a way home while keeping me safe here before eating my breakfast. As we were eating I've gone over few rules of how to babysit while Kit wrote down so he won't forget the importance of babysitting job. After we got done eating and going over important stuff he needs to remember he glance at the clock and nodded.
"We need to be there around close to ten and we got thirty minutes to be there," He was about to get up to get his hat but I chuckled and said.
"Hey easy kid, we got plenty of time. It's only eight thirty," I got up and put our two bowls in the dishes. "You can help me dry dishes while we wait if you want," I added beginning washing the bowls. Kit sighed nodded and went over to the cover to get a towel for drying. We washed and dry the dishes for couple minutes and for the rest morning we clean up the kitchen to buy some time. After we cleaned up a bit I looked at the clock reading its close to nine ten and smiled.
"Kit I think it's time to get going." I said and saw Kit looked at the clocked and grinned.
"Alright! Let's go!" He rushed grabbing his stuff and bolted out of the building. I laughed following him out feeling and felt welcomed by the sun warmth on my cheek. We catch a glimpse of Baloo sleeping on his hammock above the water with a flat book on his chest snoring. We came over to the dock and to where he is and Kit asked.
"Are you ready Baloo?" He snored in respond and turn his head while sleeping.
"Baloo time to wake up, " I helped and gently pushed the hammock to wake him but he just sighed and put his hat down over his eyes.
"Not now Becky, cargos can wait for…" He muttered while I sighed shook my head. Kit looked down at the water and smile getting an idea. He bends down quietly and splashes the water on his under hammock and then use the holder to pinch his behind hard. Baloo yelp with his eyes snapped opened as he fall over his hammock in the water in startled. He climbs on the dock fast coughing with his both eyes shut.
"SHARK ATTACK! SHARK ATTACK! I'VE BEEN BIT! I..." He stops screaming right as he saw both of us smiling.
"Wakie wakie Baloo, " Kit first spoke while I chuckled.
"Morning sleepy head," Baloo looked at both of us for a second and looked at the water.
"Guys, oh baby you two scare me out of mine worth a flight t." He chuckled sitting down and smiled.
"Well we need to find a way to wake you up," I replied. Kit went over and tugged his arm.
"Come on, we have to be Miss Cunningham apartment in ten minutes," He said and Baloo realized why and shook his head.
"No suree bob. Baloo not going shopping today," He was about to get back to his hammock but Kit and I rushed over to him and I pushed him while Kit tugged away from his hammock.
"Nothing do it. Mr. Shark says you're coming with us," Kit replied dragging him out of the dock.
"Aw come on Kit. I was just having a nice snooze," Baloo complained and we begin walking towards the apartment which it isn't that far from Higher for Hire.
"Don't worry Baloo. Its only one day of shopping." I said walking by him.
"Yeah but it takes forever to go shopping and beside this risky part of town always gives me willies." He replied and then we saw an apartment with waterfall in the middle.
"Can we forget this and go back to the dock?" He asked.
"Aw Baloo don't be a big wuzz," I rolled my eyes as Kit pushed the button we need to be and the elevator took us up.
"If you don't go shopping Miss Cunningham, she will stay home, and if she stays home I won't get my first babysitting job," Kit added. His eyes lit up and looked at Kit puzzled.
"You want to babysit?"
Kit nodded and said "Yeah I want to prove your boss she can depend on me,"
"Really?" Baloo asked having his hand on the elevator glass.
"Well that and the money good," He answered rolling his eyes a little and then the elevator dang and it opened at where we need to be seeing Rebecca's door.
"But are you sure you don't want to change your mind partner?" He asked standing behind the door and Kit nodded looking sure.
"I'm sure and now please move." He said but Baloo stood put shook his head desperately.
"I hate going shopping with Rebecca." He protests as I rolled my eyes.
"Oh come on Baloo he's been waiting for this since last night and I promised Rebecca I show him how to babysit," I added. "He even woke me up early." I pressed the doorbell letting it ring.
"But its Baloo carrying this and oh are these cute.." Rebecca opened the door while Baloo didn't know keeping complaining as she cross her arms shook her head with frown look. "That end up driving me star raven..." He stops mid sentence after he saw Rebecca behind him and quickly turned form a smile on his face. "Happy, just telling them what a lovely day to go shoppi..."
"Enough with the balonie Baloo." She chuckled a little and turned to us.
"Ah you two come in." She gesture as we both walked in while Baloo followed seeing all of stuff as I remember watching this looking nice and homey with nice touch.
"Nice place Miss Cunningham," I said looking around.
"Ah so this is where all the prophet got." Baloo added looking around while Rebecca huffed.
"Don't start that again." She turned to the hallway and called.
"Molly, your babysitters are here honey!" Molly burst out of her room and saw us grinning happily.
"Oh boy Oh boy! Oh boy!" She rushed to us and crashed into Kit almost knocked him down but he laughed.
"Great to see you kid," He replied and put her down. "Now you know the rule no running in the house," He flips through pages as Molly have her finger on her lips looking innocent.
"Sorry Kit." I chuckled
"It's okay sweetie, you were just excited to see us." I spoke sweetly picking her up as she giggled more and hug me. Rebecca sighed softly as she grab her purse and grab out a dollar.
"Here some money for some ice cream later and make sure you don't go any farther than any corner store got it?" She asked giving it to Kit and he nodded.
"Got it." He salutes his clipboard.
"Got it." Molly repeated did the same thing. Rebecca glance at me and added.
" And I trust you to help Kit be responsible enough to watch over her," I nodded while Molly hugs me.
"Don't worry Rebecca, you can count on me." I replied. She smiled and kiss Molly forehead and walked towards Baloo waiting for her.
"Bye Mommy, I'll be extra very specially very good." She replied sweetly.
"Goodbye sweetheart." Rebecca laughed and turned to Kit. "I'm serious Kit, your job is watch over Molly no matter what." She spoke sternly and Kit nodded.
"No matter what. I won't let you down Miss Cunningham." He promised. Rebecca nodded and looked at Baloo.
"Come along sunny Jim. The white sail beckon." She smiled walking out while Baloo followed having a disappointment look scratching his head.
"Bye and have fun!" I called watching her closes the door behind. I sighed as I put Molly down and looked at Kit.
"Alright Kit your first lesson of babysitting is keep an eye on her the whole time and never lose her sight." I instructed. "With that I'll go in the kitchen for a drink leaving a test for you to see if you're watching her good," Kit smiled and tip his hat.
"Ah that will be piece of cake." Kit replied. I chuckled softly making my way to the kitchen to grab some water. It was easy to find a fridge as I grab a plastic cup from the cabinet not wanting to use her dishes and drank sighing a little still thinking about that anniversary I need to go to felt my heart beating in my chest nervously. Suddenly I heard crash and I gasp in startled throwing away my plastic cup in the trash can and rushed out. I saw the hanger down with coats everywhere see Kit groaning in pain while Molly was sitting on his back.
"Oh no horsy fall down," Molly put his hat back on his head as he sighed.
"Yeah horsy fall down." He muttered. I cant help myself but laugh and walk over while Molly got off of him.
"Kit what happened?"
"She jumps on me having me blindfold and then crashed into the hanger." He answered. I chuckled and helped him up.
"Not very easy babysitting job as you thought is it?" I asked. He nodded dusting himself and looked at the mess while Molly was glancing at the white furry coat.
"Holy propwash, look at this mess," He fixes his hat while Molly put on the white coat covering herself.
"I'll help you okay Kit?" Molly spoke happily and I giggled.
"Yes you can help sweetie." I said while I helped Kit hang the coats up.
"Oh great, boy Miss Cunningham will skin me if she sees this," He spoke worriedly picking up the blue coat.
"Aw don't worry Kit, she won't do that and understand," I said picking up the hat and putting on the hanger. "Okay Molly hand me that white coat please," I have my hand out and looked but I didn't see her anywhere.
"Molly?" We heard her giggle and turned and saw her on the top drawer high up with two chairs holding on the white coat.
"Look at my trampoline guys!" She squeals having her arm out. "One two five!" She jumps off the top drawer grinning while Kit and I gasp.
"MOLLY!" I exclaimed and Kit rushed over and catches her just in time making the two chair fall down.
"You're good catching Kit. That looks really hurt, She walked over him as he groaned softly as I sighed.
"This is why you need to watch her all the time," I said and he rolled his eyes mumbling.
"I know guys, let's play high diver queen!" We both looked over and saw Molly at outside crawling over the railing trying to jump making both of us gasp once more and I rushed to her fast.
"MOLLY NO!" I quickly grab her just in time before she jumps off. I breathed feeling relief and have my stern look taking her back in.
"Now Molly you don't need to get in any more troubles and need to be more careful," I sat down while Molly was on my lap having sad look looking down.
"I'm sorry Ashley, I'll be really good," She spoke quietly. I smiled cant stay mad at her and stroke her hair.
"That alright sweetie just don't do that again okay?" I replied as she hugged as I return her embrace.
"Okay Ashley I promise!" She chirped. Kit laughed and looked over at the old fashioned radio.
"Now how about we listen to your favorite radio show." He walked over towards it and turn it on and switch the channel until the announces came on saying about the danger woman. Molly quickly jump off my lap and rushed behind the couch. So this is the danger woman that she always fans on. I thought smiling. Then Molly appeared from behind the couch having a strainer on her head with towel cape around her and has a spatula on her hand when they man spoke Danger Woman. I giggled of her cuteness while Kit chuckled.
"Kids tell your mom to buy you Danger Woman favorite food; frosty pep ice cream!" It announced andMolly gasp happily and jump on me.
"Oh Ashley Kit I want some Danger Woman ice cream," She cling on me while I sat down with her on my lap again.
"Well you mom says we can go grab you some ice cream, " I replied. Kit nodded and spoke to her.
"Listen Molly if we take you to get ice cream now, you take your nap as soon we get home."
"Oh yes, yes yes yes." She answered excitedly clapping her hands. I laughed and got up with her in my arms.
"Alright lets go get some ice cream for little Danger Woman." I tickled her foot making her giggled. All of us make our way to the elevator as Kit lock the door with the hidden key as he place it under the rug and we walked to the elevator heading out.
