Chapter 14: My Head Grew Heavy
"Good." Riley replied. "Except you are gonna do everything I say for the rest of the trip, unless you want your mommy to see these. Now say that back."

"I'll do whatever you say, ma'am." Zack said quietly.

"Good." Riley said again. "Now be a good little boy and go inside the cabin."

Zack rolled his eyes but went inside the boat cabin. Riley followed him, grinning at the 20 bucks that was in her hand."If you're supposed to be my 'babysitter'," Zack said as he put air quotes around the words. "You're going to have to entertain me"

"Why should I entertain you?" Riley asked as she sat on the couch and turned on the TV.

Zack rolled his eyes and he walked over to her and placed his hands on his hips. "If I remember correctly, when Cody and I were younger and we had babysitters, they always entertained us. So you have to find something for us to do," Zack insisted.

Riley rolled her eyes and got up off of the couch."Fine, I'll be back in a few minutes, if you go anywhere, I'll beat you" she warned as she left the cabin.

Zack grinned to himself. "Where did I put that cologne?" he asked himself as he took breath spray from his pocket and sprayed it into his mouth.

"So, are you ready to show or fold?" Sydney asked innocently, kicking his feet back and forth.

"Sydney, I'm your father and I have one thing to say to you" Robert said as he took a deep breath and sighed.

"Shut up!" Patrick and Noah snapped in unison.

"No need to be so mean to him" Mimi said as Chris and Dave laughed. They stopped and looked at the two women that were with him.

"He's a five year old who's beating the crap out of us!" Dave protested.

"You know Syd is special, you shouldn't have gone against him" Monica said and smiled sweetly as Kurt glared at her.

"I fold," Rhuben grumbled as she slapped her hand down onto the table and stuck her tongue out at her baby brother.

"Love you too," he said with a grin and placed down his cards. "I have a straight"

"Royal Flush" Cody said softly as he placed down his cards and started to scoop up the chips.

"How is that possible?!" Sydney cried as he tugged fistfuls of his hair.

Noah tugged on his father's shirt sleeve."Can we go to sleep yet?" he asked in a small voice. "My eyes are burning from lack of it, and Patrick is already conked out" he said motioning to his twin who was half laying on the couch, half laying on the floor, his glasses sliding down his face.

"I think that's a good idea, we can hang out tomorrow" Monica said as she stood up. "Well, we can hang out after Kurt's concert"

"Wait, what are we going to do during the concert?" Sydney asked, frowning.

Rhuben lifted him into her arms."Don't worry. I already have a plan for that" she said mysteriously. "Now, we need to give you a bath"

"I-I guess I'll see you guys later then" Cody said as he followed father out of the hotel room.

"Wait a second Cody," Rhuben said and followed him to the door. He stopped and looked at her curiously. "Why don't you stop by tomorrow? I guarantee you'll have more fun than you will if you were by yourself all night long"

"That'd be great, thanks" he said as a smile stretched across his face. Hesitantly, he moved forward and kissed her cheek. As if he was shocked at what he did, he quickly turned and walked down the hallway after his dad, his ears turning red.

"Ooh, Rhu-Rhu and Cody sitting in a tree" Sydney said as Rhuben closed the door to the hotel room.

"K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Noah added with a teasing grin.

"Shut up!" Rhuben snapped as the two started to laugh. "Don't make me drown you" she muttered to Sydney as she walked to the bathroom.

"What the hell are you doing?" Riley asked as she walked back to the cabin and saw Zack walking back and forth in the kitchen.

"I made us some dinner" he replied as he brought two plates over to the couch. "Steak and mashed potatoes"

"How do I know you didn't lace this with anything?" Riley asked suspiciously as she sat down.

"That'd be nice, poisoning my own 'babysitter" Zack scoffed as he sat next to her and handed her a fork and a knife. "You better be careful with that knife" he added.

"I'm not going to stab you, no matter how much I may want to" Riley said as she leaned back against the couch and pushed the plate away.

"Why do you hate me?" Zack asked as he started to eat.

"I don't hate you. Trust me, you'd know if I hated you" Riley replied with a smirk.

"Well, you sure don't like me much" Zack replied.

Riley let a faint smile show. "That's true" Riley agreed. "Anyway, I got the movie Transformers"

"Alright, I'll make the popcorn then" Zack said as he got up, a smile on his face.A darkened cabin and a movie? She must really like me. He thought.

"Zack, I'm back!" Carey said as she opened the door to the cabin. She smiled when she saw Zack and Riley. They were sleeping on the couch, Riley's head on Zack's shoulder as the TV screen flickered. "That's sweet," she said and grabbed the camera that Riley left on the coffee table and took a picture.
