Babysitter for life (voodoalex and Bunnymouse420)

[voodoalex]

Oliver Rodgers walked into on of the bars that was located just off Main Street. The 26 year old had just returned back to his hometown, where he had lived up to his nineteenth birthday. However, like most kids his age he had gone to university and to conquer the world. But about eight years later he was back at spot one in Greenville. A local company had hired him as their new head of accounting, which was a big career opportunity for Oliver, so he had not been able to turn it down, although it was in his old hometown and not in NYC, LA or Silicon Valley.

At high school, Oliver had been a pretty good basket ball player, so he had been lucky and gotten a scholarship for one of the big universities outside the state. Using his fortunes well, he had focused on his studies and gotten a business degree, knowing that he would never be good enough be become a professional. However, being a decent player had giving him lots of connections, attention by the girls, a degree, and a job at a big accounting firm once he had been done with school.

After a few year working and getting his MBA, he had been looking for the next step in his career. So he had enlisted with a head hunter agency and soon got the offer for his new job. Hence he had found his way back to his small hometown, but this time he was feeling that he belonged to the successful and better part of the town. The company had gotten him a nice home for the time being, so life was looking not too bad for Oliver.

The young professional looked around in the bar, searching for his friend. The watering hole had seen better times and wasn’t the kind of place that Oliver would normally visit, but an old buddy of his, Andrew, had suggested the bar to meet and catch up on the last few years. Like always, Oliver was early and he guessed that Andrew would be running late. So he ordered himself a beer and sat down in a corner facing the bar. Several young looking guys and girls were having a good time and Oliver was reminded of his time as a student.

Scarlett was always a good kid. She made good grades in school, she was on the pep squad, she was always sweet to everyone. Up until she started high school. Then she started hanging out with the stoner/punk crowd. She changed into a completely different person. Her once long dark locks were cut short and bleached into a messy blond style. Her hazel eyes lined in dark eye liner. Her tongue and nose peirced, and a few tattoos scattered on her body.
She went from dressing in bright floral colors, to dark skimpy clothing.

She got a fake ID when she was 16 and started going to bars and clubs. She had just turned 18 and as a celebritory thing her and some of her friends went to a bar just outside of town, one of their favorite bands was playing there so they simply could not pass it up. When she walked in she ordered a beer and went with her friends over to one of the booths waiting for the band to start playing.

Scarlett looked around to see if there were any guys with potential and noticed a guy that looked way out of his element sitting at the bar. She over looked him only because he looked so out of place. The band started playing and after about an hour and a half said that they were gonna take a break. It was the perfect time for her to flirt with the sexy guitarest. She got up and made her way over to him which just happened to be acouple seats away from the guy that looked far to clean cut to be in this bar.

Oliver was thankful when the band took a break. Their music was loud and not really in line with his taste. On top of that his buddy Andrew was running late, which didn’t really lift Oliver’s mood. He checked his phone once more, but there was no answer on any of his texts. His beer was empty and Oliver started to think about leaving early, while his eyes wondered over the crowd.

His eyes fell on a young looking girl, which was dressed in skimpy, dark clothing. Oliver couldn’t understand why a girl would dress up like that and ruin her body with piercings, tattoos, and cheap hair bleaching. Especially, since he though that she had a pretty good body and very good natural looks, but it was all covered up by her make up and clothing style. Something about her was familiar, but Oliver couldn’t figure out what. It had been about eight years, since he had been living here, so she would have been way younger back then and Oliver couldn’t remember any girl like her from back then.

 

[Bunnymouse420]

"You were great up there." she smiled one of her flirty smiles and placed her hand on his thigh. "Names Scarlett but my friends call me Scar" she leaned forward giving the band member quite a view of her cleavage. "How about you buy me a drink?" He did just that but was shortly called back to the stage leaving her with a promise of return. She stayed sitting at the bar sipping at her drink sitting next to the man that didnt belong in a place like that.

She turned to the stranger and asked the question that plauged her since she had noticed him sitting there. "You look out of your element. Whats a guy like you doing in a skeevy place like this? Seems like you should be at a country club or something."

 

[voodoalex]

Oliver thought that Scar was a good nickname for the girl, she scaring her natural beauty with all her makeup, tattoos, slutty clothing. He focused on his drink but couldn’t stop listening in the conversation of Scar and the guitarist. He had become curious when she had said her name, since he had known a Scarlett back then. Actually, he had been looking after that girl several times when he had been a high school student. However, that Scarlet had been a very nice girl and would be by now about eighteen and not allowed to visit a place like this bar. Nevertheless, his curiosity had been awoken.

He looked over to the young girl and smiled at her. "Hey, I am not that old … and don’t wear any cowboy boots nor a heat, do I? I am waiting for a friend, who suggested this god forsaken place." But she was right, he would be preferred to be somewhere else, like maybe a Jazz or Blues bar.

In the meantime another girl had started talking to the guitarist and he seemed to be pretty interested in her as well. "Hey, looks like you are getting some competition over there. Damn, don’t girls have any self-esteem anymore? What happened to this place?" The question was rather directed to nobody than you Scarlet.

 

[Bunnymouse420]

"What friend? Maybe I know him if he frequents." She growled when the older man dissed her favorite bar and her person. "Ill have you know that I have very high self esteem. I enjoy the power that my apperence and sexuality has over men and some women. I get free drinks with the bat of an eye." She said catching his eye. She looked at him for a few seconds, he looked familiar to her but she didn't comment.

She took another drink of the clear liquid. She started twirling her hair around one of her fingers as she thought of who he could possibly remind her of. It was something she had done since she was little something that her mother got on to her about when she was young because it always messed up her hair. She vaugly remember some guy teasing her about the arguments she used to have with her mother. The only thing she remembered about him was that he used to baby sit her and that he was always so nice to her. She snapped back to reality as the band started playing again.

 

[voodoalex]

Oliver just looked at the young girl. "Life isn’t about free drinks and how many guys you can seduce with your sexuality. But I guess this isn’t the place to talk about life goals and achievements." He waved for the barkeeper to get another beer and took a big sip from his fresh brew. "Anyway, his name is Andrew, Andrew Rodgers. But I guess he just got held up somewhere, once again."

When Scarlet started to twirl her hair, she reminded Oliver of this neighbor girl he had looked after a few times. However, she would be not old enough to visit a bar and her looks had been completely different. On top of that, she had been from a good family and would never have ended in this hell hole.

 

[Bunnymouse420]

"That name sounds familiar. And I'm young. Why not live a little while you have the chance? That's why I dyed my hair, got tattoos and a couple peircings. I like to take risks." She kept twirling her hair. "My parents positively hate the tattoos" she smiled at that, loving that she had rattled them so much. "They would flip if they knew I was here too" she said under her breath thinking that he couldn't hear her. She moved to get up not wanting to continue bothering this man or continue getting insulted inderectly.

 

[voodoalex]

It was obvious to Oliver, that this young girl wasn’t stupid, she just was acting out and by that was throwing away a chance for a good life. "So you are just doing all this to piss of your parents? The tattoos and piercings will stay when you grow up, they are made for a lifetime not just a phase. But I don’t want to sound like you parents or a babysitter, it’s your life, so take all the risks you like."

Oliver was a bit surprised when she mentioned that her parents would flip when they knew she was here. Wasn’t she old enough to go to a bar? Was she drinking although she wasn’t twenty one, yet? All of this suddenly changed everything. His heart was beating a bit faster, when he asked her in a casual way. "What was your name again? Maybe I met you back then when you know Andrew."

 

[Bunnymouse420]

"You can always take peircings out and there are ways to cover tattoos." She rolled her eyes as if it should be obvious to everyone. "Scarlett, and I only met Andrew when i started coming here." She said not thinking anything of it. She was still kind of irritated that he was openly insulting her actions.

 

[voodoalex]

"Ok, it’s your body, so do as you like. Besides, it doesn’t look and sound like you are giving a damn about anybodies advice." He took another sip of his beer. "I was just curious, since I knew a Scarlet from around here, back when I was in high school. But she wouldn’t be 21, yet. So I guess it can’t be you." He smiled at her, not sure why he even bothered talking to her. But at the same time he was curious why she had not taken off, so he wanted to know a bit more about this girl, maybe Andrew could tell him more about her. "So, you are a regular around here?"

 

[Bunnymouse420]

Her eyes went wide when he said he knew a Scarlett when he was in high school. Scarlett was not a comman name in the town and as far as she knew she was the only one. She started nibbling on her lip when he mentioned that she wouldnt be old enough because it was true that she wasnt old enough to be there. "I didnt think there were any other girls named Scarlett here" she said quietly. She still didnt recognize the man sitting next to her even though he kind of looked familiar. "I guess I could be considered a regular, i come in here a couple times a month, todays my birthday so thats why im here today." She took another drink. She usually didnt talk to people that were so different than her but there was something about this guy that she liked, that made her feel at ease. Which confused her quite a bit.

 

[voodoalex]

Oliver noticed that the girl was becoming a bit nervous when he told her that he knew a Scarlet from around her. He started to wonder whether this really was the girl he had once looked after. "Yeah, you are right, Scarlet isn’t very common name, but it is a nice one, if you ask me." He smiled at her. "Anyway, that was ages ago, I can hardly remember her. However, she had been a fun and nice girl back then."

When she told him that is was her birthday, Oliver really started to believe that this was the Scarlett, however he wanted not to believe it. "It’s your birthday today? Gratulations, how old did you turn? How about I invite you for a drink? What do you want?"

 

[Bunnymouse420]

"Thank you." She said when he complemented her name. Slightly absent minded she started speaking "eight... I um I'm twenty two." She caught herself before she told him that she had just turned 18. She paled slightly at her slip. She nibbled on her lip nervously hoping that he hadn't caught her slip up. Luck was not on her side. She saw realization flash through his eyes. She quickly got up. "I should be going. Nice to meet you." She started walking toward the door and just made it outside when she felt a hand grab her wrist pulling her to a stop. She turned to see the man she had just been talking to.

 

[voodoalex]

Her small slip up and her sudden urge to walk away had been all that Oliver had needed to be sure, this was the young sweet Scarlet that he had looked after, but he could hardly believe what she had turned into. He got up and rushed after the young woman and caught up with her just outside of the bar. He didn’t really had a plan on what to do, but he didn’t want to let her run away. He still felt some responsibility for her.

"Hey, don’t think that I am stupid. I know by now, who you are and that you are not even close to being twenty two. Why don’t you come with me and we talk, before any guy finds out that you are not allowed to be here." He guided her toward his car, which was parked just a block down the road.

 

[Bunnymouse420]

"Four years isn't that far from twenty two and they wouldn't care as long as I'm eightteen and they could fuck me." She pulled her wrist out of his grasp. "I have my bike" she said pointing to a motorcycle parked near his car. "Why should I go any where with you? I don't even know you dude." She said trying to make an excuse that was good enough to get her out of this situation. "I don't even know your name"

She started backing toward her bike. She thought maybe she could make a run for it before this guy tried to get her in serious trouble. Which she didn't know if he would do or not but she figured better safe than sorry. Right.
