Duncan left to go visit his little sister Aubrey. Courtney didn't go because they didn't get along. So she stayed at the house. She didn't really feel like going out so she was staying here till Duncan got back.

Courtney grabbed some chips and cookies and went to her room. She sat on the bed thinking about watching pretty little liars. She looked for her remote when she saw her box. She got up and grabbed and set it back on her bed. She opened it seeing the pictures feeling the memories flood her thoughts.

This one picture in particular really stuck to her.

Courtney sat in her room doing her homework. She sat there for an hour calculating formulas, correcting grammar errors while writing essays.

"Courtneyyyyyy." her mom says smiling walking in her room hanging up the phone. She looked enthusiastic, which was weird cause she always serious all the time.

"Yes, mom?" Courtney said not looking up from her work.

"I got you a jobbbbb!" She exclaimed happily. Courtney looked up excited "you got me a job at the firm?" She said getting excited.

Courtney's mom chuckled at her daughter "of course not." Which made Courtney frown.

"I got you a babysitting gig!" Her mom said excitedly.

Courtney's frown only deepened "why would I do a babysitting gig when I could be studying?" She said annoyed and bluntly.

"Cause is as big-time lawyers have to get on the good side of the police everywhere in our firms." She said

"So what does that have to do with me?"

"Everything! Your gonna babysit the head chief son and keep doing it so he'll become our allies and stay our allies."

"I don't understand why you can't just reference them, someone I have school circular activities to keep up with. "

"Courtney Marin this isn't up for debate now you're leaving in at 10 and I suggest you get ready."

"But mom I was supposed to-"

"zip it" her mom snapped before leaving and closing Courtney's door.

Courtney huffed and did some more got ready to babysit.

--

Courtney got inside her car and started driving to the address her other gave her. When she reached there the front door was open with this guy standing there. Courtney pulled in front of the house and parked. She got out of the car and walked towards the door.

--——————————

Duncan sat in his room irritated beyond his limits as his mom was talking to him.

"... So once you start getting your behavior together you'll have a babysitter. It's not permanent. Unless you make it that way." His mom said standing in his doorway.

"Yeah, an old hag is totally gonna get my act together." He said flatly rolling his eyes.

His mom ignored his sarcasm "please be on your best behavior and give it a chance! You might actually like it."

Duncan just scoffed in reply.

"Yeah, sure a 17-year-old just loves having a babysitter," he said grabbing a knife and started carving in the wall.

Duncan's mom rolled her eyes "yeah may you are not gonna be doing that when she gets here." she said taking his pocket knife.

"come on I made sure she was around your age plus I know her parents. She's responsible," she said folding her arms.

Duncan just rolled his eyes again at his mom.

But he couldn't help but wonder who the girl was.

Please don't be Heather or airhead Lindsay. I doubt it her parents have to be dumb as hell to give birth to that. Or they just got hella unlucky.

"hun the babysitter is here!" Duncan's dad called out.

"come on let's go down and meet her." his mom said. Duncan rolled his eyes and got up.

Duncan didn't like people. He only had 3 friends and that was Trent, Geoff, and Alejandro. Duncan was popular by association and cause girls thought he was a hot bad boy.

People usually stayed away from him besides girls and he was just fine with that. He did have a crush on this one girl but she was strictly off-limits thanks to Trent who apparently had her off-limits.

He rolled his eyes. He just needed to fuck Gwen and get it over with already.

He walked downstairs bored out of his mind when he heard voices talking. He couldn't help but feel like one of the voices sounded familiar.

Now curious about the voice he walked in the kitchen to see a brunette talking to his dad.

is that-

Courtney turned around and saw Duncan and looked shocked.

Courtney marin?! Duncan has had the biggest crush on her since 4th grade even though he wouldn't admit it out loud. They don't really talk sure their friends know each other but they belonged in 2 different worlds after elementary school.

"hi I'm Rosalina Duncan's mom it's so nice to meet you. And this is my son Duncan," she said smiling brightly

"nice to meet you miss rivers I'm Courtney," she said smiling just as bright.

The walkie talkie on Duncan's dad's uniform started going off.

"hun we have to go it's a code 2319!" he said quickly.

"shoot. Well be back at 12:30!" she said just as quickly and rushed out the door with mr.marin and left.

Courtney and Duncan stood there in a awkward silence.

Duncan felt his whole body get hot. And it wasn't caused by what she was wearing even though she was wearing black leggings and a yellow dress shirt with Timbaland heels.

For some reason, he thought she was so hot it was just something about her.

I needed to get out of here.

Duncan scoffed and looked out the window to make sure his parents were gone.

"Um, what are you doing?" A nagging voice came from behind him.

Duncan rolled his eyes ignoring the annoying butterflies.

"I'm leaving sunshine I'll be back at 11," he said going to the kitchen to get his motorcycle keys.

"You can't leave! You have to stay here with me until your parents get back!" Courtney exclaimed.

"someones excited for me to stay till the fucking hours huh?" Duncan said not looking up at her instead d looking for his keys.

"as if you pig!" she called at him.

Duncan couldn't help but feel refreshed at the fact that she wasn't easy like the other girls. Some have a fight but that lasted for like 3 days.

"where the fuck are my keys," Duncan mumbled angrily.

"looking for these?" Courtney called dangling his keys in her dainty hand.

Duncan smirked. "yeah babe how about you give me them and I'll give you a reward baby doll." he said seductively leaning on the kitchen counter.

Courtney's facial expression immediately turned from smug to disgust. "don't call me that! And I don't want no rewards from you." she said glaring.

"whatever just give me my keys," he said walking up to her.

"not a chance I'm getting paid 75bucks to take care of you now I'm gonna do homework and your gonna behave and stay out my way got that?" she said then walking to the couch not waiting for an answer from Duncan.

Duncan felt himself getting to turned on he needed to get out there before she saw his "problem".

Duncan went upstairs and cured himself.

What the fuck is wrong with me?

He sighed sitting on his bed. No girl got him like this before. Sure he met hot girls but none of them had this effect on him. She wasn't even showing any skin!

Duncan decided on taking a shower he got his stuff and headed in to clear his head to control himself and his problem.

Courtney sighed when Duncan left. Even though she was told to stay away from him and his womanizing ways she still thought he was hot. She breathed out. He's never talked to her before. Actually not in years. She was always kind of annoyed he talked to literally every girl but her it was so annoying. Not that she liked him or anything.

She got her bag and took out her textbooks and quickly got to work quickly focusing on the work.

After a while, Courtney realized that she hasn't heard a single thing from Duncan or anything.

"Duncan?" she called out and when she didn't get a response she began to panic.

What if he sneaks out what if he got out the window I'm so gonna get in trouble.

Courtney quickly got up trying to remember what his dad said how to get to his room.

She didn't bother knocking and saw Duncan in boxers drying his hair with a black towel.

Duncan's back was turned so he didn't see her giving her a great view of his gorgeous back muscles.

Courtney could hear the loud rock music wafting in the air from his headphones.

Courtney just stood there embarrassed wanting to leave but also in awe of the sight she didn't want to look away.

Then Duncan turned around putting the towel down to see a flushed looking Courtney.

When he saw her Courtney instantly started panicking.

"um if you wanted to see me with a shirt you could've told me, babe, I woulda did it for ya, babe," Duncan said smirking at her

Courtney began to hate that smirk on his face but love it at the same time.

" I-i was act-ally checking-"

"checking me out?" Duncan said teasingly.

Making her blush harder. She knew she looked like a tomato. "Shut up ugh!" she said trying not to look at his sculpted abs."

Duncan just smirked and walked to her without a word and stopped till their chest was close to touching making Courtney nervous and her hormones go crazy.

"hm why don't you really tell me what's on your mind Princess?" he said seductively.

Courtney felt her mind jumble "not you pig!" she started then marched off back to the living room.

--

Duncan stood there looking after Courtney and smirked.

He never saw that in her eyes before. Pure lust was in her eyes.

Duncan put on sweats and some socks, then put his choker back on and put on his black tight shirt with a skull on it and headed downstairs.

Duncan saw Courtney not blushing anymore doing some school crap. Duncan rolled his eyes. "figures" he mumbled.

He sat next to Courtney catching her off guard. " um don't you have anywhere else to go?" she said annoyedly.

"well, I did till an uptight princess stole my keys.so now I think I'm just going to bother you."

Courtney glared at him. " go bother your floozy whores and leave me alone!"

Duncan just rolled eyes "they're boring. And frankly I don't want to I want to bother you. Besides your much.. " he said trailing of looking her up and down making Courtney hide her blush "more entertaining." he finished.

Courtney just rolled her eyes and ignored him. Duncan took her not book she was writing on and started reading it.

Duncan's mind started to wonder to Courtney's face. She was so pretty. Then he looked at her lips. He wondered what it felt like to kiss her. What her lips felt like. Were that as soft as they look? Then an idea popped to his mind.

Duncan took her not book she was writing on and started reading it.. "you asshole! Give me back my notebook! This is due next Friday!" she yelled at him climbing on him to get her notebook back.

Duncan quickly stood up and held the book over his head.

Courtney got up and jumped trying to get if out of his hands. Duncan chuckled " say the magic words." he said teasingly.

"give me my fucking book now before kick you in the balls!" she said annoyed.

"aht wrong answer," he said smiling wickedly.

"Duncan I swear to God if you didn't give me back my notebook," Courtney said gritting her teeth.

"Since you got it, wrong princess you have to kiss me for you to get it back," he said with a seductive smirk.

Courtney felt her heartbeat double as she held his gaze.

"you are just so disgusting!" Courtney exclaimed annoyed

"ugh, you are so disgusting! I'm not kissing you!" She said crossing her arms.

"Then no notebook," he said. Courtney glared at him the gears turning in her head.

"Fine." She said simply catching Duncan off guard.

"Huh?" He said looking confused.

"Fine, I guess it's no notebook." She said. Courtney swore ahead saw a flash of disappointment but it went away as quickly as it came.

No no why would he want to kiss me

Courtney was cut out her thoughts when started talking.

"I guess that means I win then right Princess?" He said smirking in victory.

Courtney just smiled evilly and started tickling him.

Duncan yelped laughing. Squirming laughing trying to move away. When he couldn't he ran forward making them both fall.

Courtney screeched as she fell Duncan guarded the back of her head to make sure she wouldn't hit her head.

Courtney blushed when she realized Duncan was staring at her.

Duncan looked at Courtney's face. He couldn't help it he's never been this close to her before and he always wondered what it would be like to be this close. Especially in this compromising position.

When he saw her blush he couldn't help it. He needed to feel her lips on his.

"Duncan why are you stari-" she got cut off when Duncan kissed her.

Courtney froze up and Duncan felt fear wash over him for the first time in a long time.

Come on man it's now or never

He was mentally preparing himself for her to slap him and tell him to get the fuck off of her.

But was surprised when she kissed him back hard. Duncan felt his heart and which was foreign to him cause he never felt that before kissing someone.

They literally made out for who knows how long when they heard the sound of keys and the door handle jiggle.

Courtney quickly pushed him off and got up fixing her clothes. Duncan stood up as well and smirked at her.

Duncan's parents came in looking tired.

Duncan's mom smiled at Courtney " nice to know you made it in one piece. I assume Duncan was well behaved?"

Courtney tried her best to force down her blush for the umpteenth time.

"Yeah. Nothing I couldn't handle," she said avoiding eye contact with Duncan.

Duncan's mom smiled "let me go get the money and I'll be right back."

Duncan's dad sighed tiredly. " good night Courtney I'm going to bed."

"Sleep well," Courtney said politely.

When duncans dad left, Courtney started to pack her stuff quickly ready to leave.

"you know for a princess your a pretty darn good kisser," Duncan said licking his lips. Courtney stifled an excited giggle

"This never happened got it pig?" she said standing up with her bag.

"whatever babe but you know you like me."

"I do not like you!"

"Your lips say otherwise."

"ugh shut up you piece of -"

She quickly stopped when she heard talking and his mom walking in the room.

"Okay, 75. Thank you so much for watching him. I'm definitely impressed."

Courtney took the money and smiled back politely "thank you. And really it to was no trouble at all."

His mom beamed "great! We'll definitely be in touch I'm so glad your mom recommended me you." she said.

"Thank you and I'll be available," Courtney said plastering a fake smile. She was so nervous she didn't want to come back. She didn't want to be that girl that gave in to Duncan she also didn't want to like him. They were in 2 totally different worlds. They can't be together.

She droned out what his mom said the only thing she caught was 'goodnight dear' before she left to her room upstairs joining her husband.

Duncan stood there at looking at Courtney "you may say what you want but I and you know that you do. You just don't realize it yet." He said looking serious no hint of flirtation or amusement.

Courtney held her poker face.

"I highly doubt that. What does it matter you don't like me." She said heading to the door.

Duncan grabbed her wrist and turned her to face him. "Maybe I do just depends on your answer Princess."

Courtney rolled her eyes "I'm not easy like those girls you fuck. Now I need to leave now leave me alone." She said turning around opening the door.

Courtney walked out and Duncan ran after her and closed the door.

"Courtney I know you not easy and I don't want you to have sex with."

Courtney felt the sting of rejection. Courtney rolled her eyes " good to know now stop following me!" She exclaimed angrily.

"Wait that came out wrong- I meant that I want to have sex with you but that's not why I like you or wait no I'm not attracted to you just for your personality I mean- ugh." he stopped when he saw Courtney smiling at him.

Courtney saw him babbling like an idiot and for some reason, she thought that was cute. When you see him anywhere he's always so smooth and calculated. And not he can't even finish his sentence.

"mhmm. Well, I don't believe you." Courtney said.

Duncan made a split decision. And pulled her close. And kissed her gently, quickly for a split second before pulling her away. "I liked you for a while. Watch ill prove it and I'll win you," he said actually smiling for the first time.

Courtney blushed smiling "well. Prove it." she said before getting in her car and driving off.

Duncan stared at her car when she was driving.

" she is so hot..."

That's when he knew THAT was her girl. She just didn't know it yet.

Duncan turned around and left in the house and went up to his front step. He sighed composing himself before walking in his house. Duncan walked upstairs to his room when his mom popped out of nowhere with a green Avacodo face mask scaring Duncan.

"GAHH! Mom what the heck mom!?" he said breathing heavily.

"You are such a baby" his mom said rolling her eyes.

"Whatever" he mumbled before he left continued on to his room.

"How was it?" her mom asked

Duncan froze and turned around "how was what?"

She couldn't have seen fuck I hope she didn't

"um, the babysitting? If you didn't like her then we can get a ne-"

Duncan sighed in relief. " uh it was okay she was good." he said shrugging.

"so you liked it?" she said grinning.

Duncan smirked. " definitely."

Sorry Trent you're gonna be mad as hell at me tomorrow.

--

Courtney smiled at the memory. And like Duncan said he chased her and proved it. After 7 months she finally was his and they've been together ever since. Well besides a few breakups and getting back together. They have been solid for 4 years now.

Courtney heard the door opened "Princess you hear? You won't believe who just got invited to a girl's night with my sister!"

Oh God

A/N: I know I know "YOU MADE COURTNEY MAKE DUNCAN WAIT 7 MONTHS BEFORE THEYBSTARTED DATING!?!" Well I had to make sure she didn't look easy as the girls Duncan would fuck all the time and he actually had to work for her with no short cuts.
