《SimpleMinded》I'm Babysitting.

"That was fun, I'll probably be sore for a couple of days, but it was worth it." Jada wraps her towel back around herself and I pull up my pants. I bend down and kiss her on the lips, "Call me if you need anything."
She opens the door and I walk out. I head home and on my way home I stop to get something to eat. I decide on Chinese food. I walk in the house and go directly to my kitchen. I put some food on a plate and walk to the living room. As I'm walking I hear something in the hallway bathroom. I set my food down and slowly walk down the hall.
I let out a long sigh, "If you come out now, I'll think about now beating you to a pulp." The sounds continue to go on as I get closer to the bathroom, "I really don't feel like fighting anyone right now?" I roll my sleeves up on my shirt and as soon as the bathroom door open I run straight towards the person.
My eyes widen when I realize that the person is a woman. I quickly stop and end up sliding against her, pushing her against the wall. She slowly looks up and I step back, "What the hell?! Who the hell are you?!" She doesn't answer me but looks at her feet. I tap her angrily, "Who the hell are you and how did you get in here?!"
She hands me a piece of paper and I snatch it out of her hand.
This is the woman I was talking about earlier. Her name is Haven Posh, she is twenty-one years old, and she will be under your care from now on.
-Dad
I throw my head back and groan, "Why would he just drop you off without telling me? I could have really hurt you." I ball the paper up and she hands me another one.
She also can't do anything for herself and I mean anything. The most she can do is wash herself up. Her kidnappers kept her isolated and made her do nothing but sit in a basement.
-Dad
I look at the woman and see that she has on a big T-shirt that goes past her butt. Her hair is all over the place and she doesn't have on any shoes.
"You can't do nothing for yourself?" She nods her head while looking at her feet, "Look at me and answer me with your words."
She slowly looks up, "N-No s-sir." I walk past her and she keeps her head down, "Don't just stand there, follow me. I'm taking you back, I didn't sign up for this. I was told to watch over a woman, but I wasn't told that the woman couldn't do anything for herself. You're basically a kid in a grown woman body."

I look back at her from the corner of my eye and see a tear sliding down her face. "Are you crying? Why? You couldn't have gotten attached that quick." She keeps her head down and I groan, "Ugh, please stop crying."
She wipes her face and sniffle, "Why are you crying?"
"Because the old man promised me that you would take care of me. He lied to me just like those other people, you're taking me back to that place." I throw my head back and close my eyes shut. By old man, she means my father.
"Okay, okay, okay. Stop crying, I'm not taking you back." I walk to the living room and she follows me. I grab my food and sit down, she sits down beside my legs and brings her knees to her chest. I pull out my phone and call my sneaky father.
"I'm guessing you just met Haven. How's she doing?" I suck my teeth, "How's she doing?! How am I doing, is what you should be asking!! Why didn't you tell me that the woman is incapable to do anything?!" He lets out a long sigh, "If I had told you, you wouldn't have done it at all." I nod my head as I take a sip of my drink, "Of course I wouldn't have done it! I didn't sign up for this! I was told to protect her, not take care of some woman who's mind is like a child!"
I see her flinch as my voice grows louder. "Would you please stop yelling? She's there now, I promised her that you would take care of her. Don't do something I wouldn't do." I throw my head back and groan, "Of course you wouldn't take her back or just let her be. You're the sneakiest man I have ever met." He laughs into the phone and I look down at the woman, "Don't be so mean to her."
I roll my eyes, "Whatever, I'm hanging up now." I end the call and throw my phone on the couch. I put a spoonful of food in my mouth and look down at the woman. "Go wash yourself up for bed." She stands up, "Am I sleeping in your basement?" I look at her as I swallow my food, "No, you will be sleeping in a room. Go upstairs and use that bathroom."
She slowly walks towards the stairs and I follow her. "There are already towels in there for you. I'm going to bring you one of my shirts for you to sleep in." She walks in the bathroom and comes out seconds later, "You're shower is different from my old shower. I don't know how to turn it on." I drop my head in annoyance, "I'm not going to last long with you. I can already tell the future."

I look at her up and down, "You need to take a bath, not a shower." She tilts her head to the side, "You want to give me a bath?" My eyes widen like saucers, "What?! No! Hell no! I said you need to take a bath." I walk in the bathroom and she comes in behind me.
I run the water and add some bubbles, "Just get in and wa-. AH!! Why are you getting undressed?!" She steps forward and I step back, "Whenever I get baths people wash me up. Am I doing something wrong?" She walks past me and gets in the tub, "Who the hell kidnapped you?"
I slowly grab a towel and put it in the water. I squeeze the water out on top of her head. I look behind me and see a cup, I pick up the cup and put it in the water. I pour the cup of water on her head. I start washing her up for the next fifteen minutes.
"Count to ten before getting out. I'm going to be outside the door." She nods her head and starts counting. I rush out and lean against the wall beside the door. Ten seconds later I hear the sound of water splashing. Resting my head on the wall with my eyes close, the door slowly opens. "You dried off pret-. Why aren't you dressed?! You're still wet!!"
She flinches from my yelling, "Do I need to dry you off and dress you?" She looks at her feet and nods her head. "Yep, I'm not going to last. I can't believe you can't do anything for yourself." I go back to the bathroom and dry her hair and body off. I put my shirt on her and it goes right past her butt.
"I'll take you to your room. Tomorrow we will be running a lot of errands." She looks at me, "Errands? What is that?" I throw my head back and groan, "Ugh!! I don't feel like explaining. Just go to bed and you'll see tomorrow." I open the bedroom door for her and she walks in. Before getting in the bed she takes the shirt off. I choke on my spit, "Wha-? Why did you take your shirt off?!"
Before she could even turn around, I quickly stop her, "No!! No, don't turn around! Get in the bed!" I turn my head the other way and I hear her get in the bed. "Goodnight." I quickly close the door and go to my room across the hall.
I text my dad.
I'm going to kill you!! This woman is too much!! I can't believe you're making me take care of this woman!!
I wake up the next morning and groan, "And my babysitting job starts now." I go to the bathroom and do my morning routine. Since its raining outside, I decide to put on some gray sweatpants and a tank top. I put a gray and black Nike hoodie on.
I put my shoes on and go to wake the woman up. I slowly open the door and see that she has her back to me, "It's time to wake up. I have some clothes for you." She slowly turns around and looks at me. She gets from under the covers and walks to the bathroom, "You do know how to brush your teeth, right?"
She doesn't answer me, so I walk to the bathroom. I walk in and see her brushing her teeth. "Come back out here, so I can help you get dressed." I go to sit on her bed. You may be wondering why I'm not reacting to her being naked. I'm looking up at the ceiling and I am only looking at the top of her head whenever I need to talk to her.
She comes out of the bathroom and stands in front of me. I help her put everything on from panties to shoes. I have her put on some gray tights with a black Nike hoodie. The hoodie is a little big on her. I look at the woman shock, she is on the floor taking off her shoes, "Why are you taking off your shoes?!" She looks up at me, "I was told that I'm not allowed to wear shoes, only heels. These aren't heels."
I grab the shoes and put them back on her feet, "You're not at the place anymore. You can wear any type of shoes you want." She stands up and we walk downstairs. I grab my keys and we head to the car. Before walking out in the rain, I put her hood on her head. "We're going to get your hair done. Lets cut all the bad ends off."
She gets in the car and tries to put on her seatbelt, "Push it in there until you hear a click." She looks at me, "Click?" I put the seatbelt on for her, "Click." I drive off to my sister salon. Thirty minutes later we are in front of the building. My sister is a famous fashion designer and hair stylist.
We walk in and everybody greets me with a smile. "What would you like done?" I look at the woman and then back at the receptionist, "I would like for her to get a shampoo and condition. Also cut all of her bad ends off." She looks in her computer and smile at me, "We actually have a chair open for her."
I look back at the woman and see her hugging herself. "Come on, let's get your hair done." She shakes her head quickly, "What's wrong?" I pull her to the back and put her in the chair. She tries to get out, "What is wrong with you?"

8 138Human & [Inhuman]
In a modern Japan just like our own, unbeknownst to the general populace, there are [Inhumans] who are capable of channeling [Soul Energy] into unique [Magic] through their physiological differences from normal humans, as well as [Compatibles] who possess an excess of said [Soul Energy]. [Inhuman] and [Compatible] are designed to work together, to complete each other. In such a world, underground feuds between bloodlines are common, and no duo is safe from destiny. Perhaps love can yet blossom on the battlefield? This is a piece that heavily takes inspiration from animanga/japanese light novels, and is also sort of an experimental piece to see if combining the exposition style of japanese light novels with the narrative and descriptive techniques of western literature can work. Prepare for two-person team battle action, romance, as well as some slice-of-life on the side.

Yuan, the valiant 'Hero' who defeated the 'Demon King', was unfortunately betrayed by his most trusted comrades who accompanied him in his life-long journey. "Heh...

Of course, that was what he initially thought, but life had other plans set for him. As his soul was drifting off aimlessly into the unknown, a soft and ethereal voice soon called out to him: "My Child, you have suffered and was betrayed. You gave it your all but didn't receive anything in return. In the end, you were killed by those whom you called your own." And so, a miracle was generously bestowed upon Yuan. "I will give you another chance in life My Child... I hope that you lead this new life the way you want it to be. Next time do not be controlled and easily deceived by others... Do whatever it is that you want and desire." Yuan Amon, born and raised in an ordinary family in the Philippines, led a leisurely new life on Earth, only to get summoned right back to his old one 18 years later. "I... I can't understand... Just why... Why was I sent back here of all places!?" A roar of utter dismay resounded in his private chambers. IMPORTANT NOTE (21/10/20): I have dropped this novel on this website! But don't worry, because I have remade this novel on another website called Webnovel.com so you can check it out over there! The story has completely changed though, so don't expect the same old thing, okay? I will still keep this dropped novel here though because it serves as a memory for me when I just started writing so I won't be deleting it. I hope to see you there on Webnovel!
