Andrea pacifies the child

“So, you like wanna play Fortnite?”, Andrea asked ‘her’ charge.

If there was one thing Andrew knew about kids, it was that all loved Minecraft, Roblox, and especially Fortnite.

Billy was greatly enthused by the idea, and after setting the game up on the huge flat screen LED living room television, the two soon found themselves parachuting around the Tilted Towers, Andrew playing as John Wick and Billy as Thanos.

After wiping out Tomato Town and consuming several chug jugs, Andrew helped Billy secure the bag and get that epic #1 Victory Royale.

The two played several matches, before moving on to watching some Spider-Man cartoons, Andrea fixing the two of them some popcorn.

To his surprise, Andrew found that he quite enjoyed looking after the kid, especially being able to take a break from his enforced girly activities for some traditionally masculine past-times.

Billy even mentioned Andrea was “Pretty cool for a girl”, a compliment ‘she’ rolled with.

Eventually it was time for Billy to go to bed and after making sure he changed into his pyjamas and brushed his teeth, Andrea tucked the little tyke into his Lightning McQueen bed, but the child would not settle down until he received a bed time story.

Not being able to think of any children’s classics, Andrea decided to recontextualise the plot of The Mummy (1999) starring Brendan Frazier and Rachel Weisz into a bed time story, which Billy enjoyed immensely, and the kid soon entered a peaceful slumber.

Andrea thought now ‘she’d’ finally get a moment to herself as ‘she’ turned the TV back on to watch some Netflix, but as if on cue ‘her’ mobile rang with a call from ‘her’ mother.

“Hey sweetie, I hope by now you’ve put that little darling to bed!”.

“Yes Mommy, Billy’s sleeping like a little angel”, replied Andrea.

“Good! Oh and I hope you don’t mind but I took the liberty of borrowing your phone while you were getting ready and told a little someone about your job tonight. I thought I’d surprise you and make your first babysitting gig just like how we used to do it back in our day! You’ve still got another couple of hours or so till the Johnsons get back, so best make the most of it!”, Charlene revealed.

In another instance of brilliant timing, the doorbell rang.

“Ooh, looks like you’ll have your hands full for a bit; I’ll see you when you get back in. Have fun! Ciao!”; Charlene hung up the phone.

Andrea was positively livid as ‘she’ got up to the front door and looked through the peep hole to see Brian on the doorstep, thinking ‘I swear to God I’m gonna make that bitch pay somehow!’, before composing ‘herself’, and opening the door with mock surprise and glee with a “Brian! Like what are you doing here, babe?”, as Brian went directly in for a kiss.

Andrew’s natural panic mode and set in and he turned his head at the last second so that the kiss landed upon his cheek instead of the intended target.

Brian’s expression immediately became horrified, his eyes almost welling up from sincere feelings of heartbreak and betrayal.
