Mr. Fuller, Teddy and I left the house around eleven. While Mr. Fuller brought me home, he was also taking Teddy out to eat, to make up for going out again tonight. Of course Teddy didn't care if his father was going out or not, all he cared about was being babysat by me, and of course the food he was about to get.

Once I was home, I took a long hot shower and slowly got dressed. I made myself something to eat and ate it. As much as I tried to make time fly by, it seemed to slow down.

Finally it was time to leave. I made sure I had everything before I got in the car with my mother and headed back to Mr. Fullers house.

"Good you're here" Mr. Fuller said as he answered his front door.

"Yup" I said walking behind him, into the house.

"Teddy is in the living room watching one of his learning movies. If you would be so kind to sit with him for the rest of it and question him when the learning parts happen?"

"You got it."

"You know where everything is. Ask Teddy what he wants to eat later, and make it. Don't forget to make yourself something too. Oh and I left some money on the counter for a large pizza in case he asks for pizza"

"A large?" I laughed. "There's no way Teddy and I will be able to eat a large pizza"

"Of course not." He laughed too. "I said large because it's been awhile since I've had pizza so make sure if you have that, you'll save me a couple pieces.

"Of course."

"I better get going." He walked over to the living room. "Bye Teddy, Daddy will be back later. Don't give Desiree any trouble, please"

"Bye daddy" Teddy paused the tv and walked over to his father and gave him a hug.

I followed Mr. Fuller to the front door so I could lock it after he left. "I should be back no later then nine."

"Alright, have fun." I smiled. He smiled back, nodded and left the house.

After I locked the door I went to sit with Teddy and watch his movie/show with him.

"How many of you boys and girls can count to twenty?" The woman on the television asked the six kids in front of her. Only two kids raised their hands. The kids who rose their hands looked older than Teddy, not by much maybe by two or three years.

"Teddy can you count to twenty?" I asked him.

"Yes!" He smiled. "See. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." He paused. "Eleven, twelve, thirteen, four-four-fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seven-seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty!" He counted, only having problems with fourteen and seventeen, but he still did very well.

"Very good" I smiled at him.

"Thank you. Daddy is teaching me to one hundred."

"Really?" I asked

"Yeah. I can count up to." he paused. "Um I forgot" He giggled.

"That's alright next time I come you can count for me if you want."

"Okay!" he smiled and started to watch the kids count on the tv.

*****

After the movie/show was over he shut the tv off and started to play with some of his toys on the living room floor. It was almost time for supper so I asked. "What do you want to eat for supper?"

"Pizza!" He shouted.

I laughed. "I guessed. Did your daddy tell you to say that?"

"No. But I saw him putting money on the counter so I knew I could have pizza tonight if I wanted."

"What kind of pizza do you want?"

"Pep and cheese. Nothing else, everything else is gross"

I laughed and thought to myself that he was right. I then walked away and back into the kitchen where I took the money off the counter and counted it, just be be sure. There was fifty here, more than enough for a large pizza.

I grabbed the phone and called the pizza house Teddy loved.

"Sally's pizza. How may I help you?" A girl answered.

"I'd like to order a large pizza." I said.

"Okay. What kind?"

"Pepperoni and cheese"

"Will that be all?"

"No. Can I get a small kids size chocolate milk, a coke and a root beer with that?"

"You sure can, sweetie." I could tell right away that it was the owner Sally on the phone. "Will that be pick up or delivery?"

"Delivery, please"

"Alright" I heard buttons on the cash register being pushed. "You're total is $37.50"

"Alright thank you."

"Give it twenty to twenty-five minutes. Can I have you're address, please?"

"Of course. 7629 Mockingbird"

"Theodore Fuller's house? Is this Desiree?"

"Yes ma'am."

"I'll deliver it personally. I miss Teddy. Is he there?"

"Of course, I'm babysitting him while his father goes out."

"Alright. I'll be over as soon as you're food is done. And I'll bring a surprise for Teddy."

"You don't have to do that"

"Nonsense! I love that little boy"

"Well alright thanks again."

"See you in a bit Desiree" We both hung out and I went back into the living where Teddy was.

"Did you call Sally's?" He asked when I walked into the room.

"Yup, just of you."

"Good my daddy will love you." I knew what he meant by that but that didn't stop my heart from going into over drive.

The pizza came and Sally did deliver it personally and she brought some cinnamon sticks with her, for us, free of charge. She stayed for a little while then left to go back to work.

Teddy ate one and a half slices of pizza. I ate two and put the rest away in the refrigerator for Mr. Fuller when he came home.

*****

Around half passed eight a car pulled into the driveway. I got up to look out the window to see who it was, it wasMr. Fuller, so I went to unlock the door. Teddy was asleep in his room and had been since eight o'clock. I didn't even ask he just got off the couch and gave me a hug and a kiss then said "Night, I'm very tired"

"Teddy in bed?" Mr. Fuller asked me when I entered the kitchen behind him.

"Yup"

"Good but how am I going to bring you home?"

"It's okay I'll have my mom come get me."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive"

"What did you have tonight?"

"Pizza and it's in the fridge for you"

He smiled and went to the fridge and pulled out the pizza I had put in a few hours ago. "Mmmm Sally's pizzas" He smiled again and grabbed a couple slices and put them in the microwave. "Oh cinnamon sticks. Were did these come from?"

"Sally brought them as a special surprise for Teddy. You also have a coke in the fridge I got it when I ordered the pizza."

"Ooh. Thank you so much Desiree. I could kiss you right now, but that wouldn't be good since you are my student and I'm gay" He blushed.

I just laughed and reached for the phone to call my mother. "Oh before I forget" I said when I got off the phone. "Here's the rest for the money for the pizza."

"Thank you. Do you mind if I pay you this week? I'm a little short on cash tonight." He smiled sheepishly.

"Sure." I nodded and headed for the living room to wait for my mom to come get me. She wasn't far from here, just up the road visiting with a friend of hers.

"Desiree, what I said earlier I didn't mean you're not kissable, because trust me you are very kissable. I just meant I'd be screwed if I ever did anything like that to you. Not that I haven't thought of it before. But it would be wrong on so many levels.." He went on and on another blush showing up on his face.

I laughed. "I understand" Only I wasn't really listening to him, only to where he said I was very kissable and that he's thought about kissing me before. A car pulled in the driveway and they honked. "My moms here" I told him standing up.

"Ya. Thanks for watching Teddy again."

"No problem I love watching him" I smiled.

He smiled back. "See you at school Monday"

"Yeah." I nodded and left.
