《Cherry Cola》XX. Adventures In Babysitting
Advertisement
Don't give me that look, you and Javon are bald twins. More identical than Jaden.
~ Scarlett's POV ~
I was staring at my ring every day and ever night, it was the first thing I thought about when I woke up and the last thing I think about when I wake up.
I bragged about it to all of my friends, family members and strangers on the street because I was excited that this was happening.
"I can't save us, my Atlantis! We fall, we built this town on shaky ground."
I sang to 'Atlantis'by Seafret, this was my new comfort song for about two weeks now.
When Jaden posted about the engagement, so many people were overjoyed and made edits.
It was adorable, it also gave me new songs to add to my playlist.
When I walked downstairs, I was greeted with my baby brother staring ahead at the TV in his crib.
He's almost a month, I really don't believe that time flew so fast.
I walked over to him and he smiled at me, I picked him up and placed him on my hip before I walked over to the kitchen where my dad was.
"Father, could you believe that I'm getting married?"
I asked my dad who looked at me and smiled, he kissed my forehead and kissed Atlas's cheek.
Well, I was married young Scar, I was married by seventeen.
My father informed me, I looked at him and my jaw dropped.
I knew he didn't go to college and just jumped straight into acting but I had zero thought he also got married my age.
Just kidding I did, I know almost everything about my father.
Before Alana and Atlas, it was seriously just me and my father which meant we were each other's best friends for a good while.

"It's like I'm falling into your footsteps, that's how alike we are."
My dad chuckled and we smiled, I walked away from him and sat back on the couch.
Atlas was slowly learning how to crawl but not fully, he wasn't allowed on the ground if there wasn't an adult around him.
I remember getting nightmares about accidentally hurting my brother, whether he fell by accident or I forgot to do something for him.
At one point I had gotten super scared and called Jaden, it was the middle of the night and I couldn't deal with it alone.
Jaden came over that same night, he walked to the house and knocked on the door.
When he came over, he walked upstairs and then knocked on my bedroom door before entering.
Jaden watched as I sobbed before he walked over to me and comforter me, I didn't want to let go of him and I'm sure he didn't want to let go of me either.
Thinking about all of this going on, Jaden truly stuck by my side through thick and thin not acknowledging last year.
"So if you and dad are going on a date, does this mean I can invite my friends over and we can babysit Atlas together?"
I asked, Alana looked at me as I sat down on her bed and grabbed my brother who was squealing like a pig.
That was mean, oh well.
"Alright fine, order whatever food you want and don't forget about feeding Atlas."
My mom told me as she put on her diamond earrings, I looked at her and nodded before smiling down at my pig- I mean brother.
She looked really gorgeous.
"You look amazing mom.."
I complimented her, she wore was absolutely amazing and hugged her curves the correct way.

She looked at me and kissed my head and rubbing her lipstick off of my forehead but only smudging it.
Alana groaned and grabbed a make up wipe, she handed it to me and I wiped it off.
I got up from the bed and picked up my brother, I walked downstairs and sat on the couch.
"Let's watch... Criminal Minds because that was my obsession before."
I told Atlas, he looked at me and gave me a side eye.
Don't give me that look, you and Javon are bald twins. More identical than Jaden.
I told him, before laughing which caused him to let out his very first laugh.
My eyes widen and I looked at him, he had an adorable laugh.
"Mom! He had his first laugh!"
Alana ran down the stairs, she looked at her son and picked him up.
She kissed his cheek and then gave him back to me.
"Alright we're out, so be good and we'll be right back. Stay safe, I love you both and call me if anything."
My dad said before kissing my forehead and kissed my brother's cheek, I waved them goodbye and then called my friends.
The only people that came was Jaden, Xiomara, Delilah and Javon.
Which is good because they're my best friends and I was always planning on playing cupid on Javon and Delilah, I was about to get them together tonight.
They just don't know that, only Xiomara and Jaden know and even Atlas.
Jaden, Xiomara, Atlas and I walked upstairs to my room.
We started to come up with plan on how we would get them together, Jaden straight up though we should play truth or dare which was shot down.
Xiomara decided we would watch a movie which I decided would be Toy Story and then bring blankets and make popcorn, we give Delilah and Javon a blanket and they would soon either find themselves glued together or distancing themselves.
There's literally no wonder why I always go to Xiomara for ideas or plans, she literally the best person to come to.

Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant
NOTICE: This story is under rewrite. New novel has been published. Search **RE: Tyranny** in Royalroad for the new novel.Link- Re: Tyranny Thank You! ------------------------ "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." What a brilliant line, isn't it? James was a boy who had nothing to worry about. A happy family, a nice childhood. What's more to ask? But one day, everything changed. He lost everything in the blink of an eye. The only thing left for him were the memories and dreams of the past. Trying to cope up with the loss, he cut all ties with the outside world and became a shut-in, having no one left to call his own or to rely upon. There was nothing left for him in this world, but still he lived and soon found a purpose in his life, which lead him to create something that could change the world.And on the very day when his dream project was about to come to the light, he lost his life, trying to save a little girl from an unfortunate accident. "Will I ever be remembered...? I wish... someone would." These were the last word James mumbled before his conscious faded into darkness. But his life didn't end there, as he is transmigrated into the body of an arrogant, worthless Duke's son in some unknown land with no memories about who is or any idea about where he is. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Duke's son is forced to prove his worth for inheriting the title. Will he be able to accept the new reality and prove himself by leading this country into a prosperous future? Or will he cease to the pressure of his past and lose everything once more? Disclaimer: This is not a power-fantasy or a 'feel-good' story. If you feel a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises because of difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you. It is a story that delves deep into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that make me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality. Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but I guarantee you it will get there. For those who want to skip the slow part, start from Chapter - 35 (Beginning of The End) (The whole Disclaimer section is copied from Aorii as I am too busy writing the complete story.) And yes, just for General Knowledge, James will become OP throughout the story. He is not some legendary guy who will pull out Excalibur & conquer the entire world. Update Schedule - One chapter a day. This novel is also available on Scribble Hub. And again, I humbly thank you for reading it. I hope you stick throughout the journey.
