10. Gotta have some fun
1597 Words
"One last time, please, cutie." I pleaded to Stella, when she turned her face away from the bottle of baby formula.
"One last time, I need you to take a sip of this." I began singing Ariana Grande's song, changing its lyrics.
Stella blinked at me with her big brown beautiful eyes and I could already see a hint of an upcoming chuckle on her lips. She began waving her arms in excitement; while I kept singing, feeding her while she was busy enjoying the song.
"Good girl." I cooed at her, when the she had finished the whole formula. I wiped her lips with a hanky and transferred her to the bed from my lap.
I was currently on Stella's night duty. Sneaking in Stella was an ordeal. When I came back from school, my mom was sitting in the living room, watching my every move like a hawk after our little 'disagreement' in the morning. I locked myself in my room and asked the guys for help.
Julia had already dropped off Stella at Ashton's place. God knows, how they do it! I suppose, Ashton's parents are never around; given they both have a job.
So, to help me, Ashton 'transported' Stella into my room through the window. He left with a smirk wishing me a good night and also informing me that he won't be practicing tonight, so I could sleep peacefully.
As if! He knew very well, that babies are like owls when it comes to sleeping, they keep on crying all night long either for food or attention. They fulfill their quota of sleep during daytime.
And, Stella was no exception to this. I glanced at her and sighed. She was wide awake; chewing on a soft toy that Julia had given her. I momentarily looked at the big bag placed near my bed and huffed. Apparently, Julia had packed all the things Stella would require while at the fest.
Who told her to do that? What was she even trying to prove? That she was a better caretaker for Stella? I bet she was trying to prove that she was superior to me.
I winced at the direction of my thoughts. Why was I being so petty? God, Stella will be the death of me.
Suddenly, a very familiar stench of poop made its way to my nose and I peeked at Stella.
"No, not now!" I whined.
Stella flashed me an innocent look in return.
I must give it to Julia, however intimidating she appeared on the outside; at least she changed diapers without complaining.
I scrambled through the bag for diapers but came up with nothing. They must be in Ashton's room.
Hmm...this was a good opportunity to find out what he was really up to. I was sure he was trying to find a way to make it to the fest under the pisser's nose, who had been texting us all day to not go to the fest.
I peeked through my window, inside Ashton's room but couldn't see much because the lights of his room were off. My eyes made out the shape of a tall body lying on the bed in the dark room.
So, he was sleeping peacefully, leaving me to change diapers? Not happening.
I crumpled many pieces of waste paper and took my position at the window, aiming at his body. Let me tell you, it was pretty difficult considering I couldn't see much, but, still a few balls hit the target and soon I heard him grumbling.
"Who the hell has a death wish?" he bellowed, coming to stand at the window.
Except, the voice didn't belong to Ashton, and it was not Ashton standing in front of me.
"Alex?" I asked, flabbergasted.
"What the fudge, shorty? What do you want?" Alex grumbled, moodily and sleepily.
"Where is Ashton?"
"None of your business," He replied, curtly.
I kind of expected that. These boys were definitely hiding something from me and I would change my name, if I didn't find out what.
Suddenly, an evil plan formed in my mind. Wouldn't it be fun to watch the invincible Alex change diaper?
I morphed my expression into that of seriousness, "It's an emergency. I need your help."
"What is it?" he asked, cautiously.
"I will tell you, but, first, help me and Stella come over there." I said in a distressed tone.
He narrowed his eyes at me suspiciously but nevertheless, he switched on the lights and first, took over Stella, then, helped me climb over the window.
"What is this shitty smell?" Alex grimaced, scrunching up his nose.
"That's the emergency. You see, Stella pooped and now, her diaper needs to be changed." I told him, glancing towards Stella who was crawling on the bed.
"What?" Alex asked in bewilderment, backing away from Stella. "What has that got to do with me?"
"You see, I tried, but, she won't let me change her diaper," I began, subtly winking at Stella, "I think she knows that I don't do it properly. So, I thought Ashton could do it, but, since he is not here, this leaves us with..." I trailed off, giving Alex a meaningful look.
"No frickin' chance!" Alex exclaimed.
"Do you want Stella to keep wearing a dirty diaper and develop rashes and infection?" I pouted and picked up Stella, turning her to face Alex.
I think Stella caught on to my plan, because, she too pouted adorably at Alex.
Oh man, the horrified expression on Alex's face! It was too much fun. It took everything in me to not burst out laughing then and there.
"O-okay. I w-will try." Alex stuttered.
Aww...I almost felt bad for him, but, I really wanted to see him doing it once. A girl gotta have some fun.
The next few minutes were downright hilarious, watching Alex uncomfortably shuffle around. The deadly and dangerous Alex was changing a baby's diaper! I even snapped a few pictures, when he wasn't looking, like when his face became red when he removed the dirty diaper (I had to roll my eyes at that one, why was he embarrassed of a baby when he had clearly seen more with all the girls he had slept with.) or like when he jumped when Stella kicked him in the process.
All in all, it was fricking entertaining. When he was done, I patted his back. "In future, when you go for job interviews, I will put in good word about your diaper changing skills."
Alex gave me a glare and flipped me the bird in return. I was beside myself, with laughter.
"Whoa...what is going on?" Blake's surprised voice came.
I looked at him, standing at the door; he looked at me, while I was gasping for my breath between laughter. We both froze at once.
"You!" we both yelled at once.
"What am I missing?" Alex asked, looking between both of us.
We both ignored Alex, as Blake marched towards me (with the intention of killing me, no doubt) and I quickly fished out my phone and held it in front of me.
"Do not come near me or I will call Hailey." I warned Blake.
He halted and glowered at me, "You mean, you will call hellcat?"
I furrowed my eyebrows, "what kind of nickname is that?"
"One that suits her."
"She will eat you alive if she hears that."
"Oh, she already heard and she has already eaten up half of my brain. All because of you."
I shrugged, "You deserved that. You shouldn't have messed with me."
"Would you two stop with this childish banter?" Alex interrupted us, then, he turned to blake and gave him a significant look, "we are getting late."
I narrowed my eyes at them. "Getting late for what?"
"None of your business." They said simultaneously.
Oh, now, I knew, it was definitely my business.
"Tell me, or you won't like the consequences." I threatened.
They both looked at me and then each other, and then, broke into laughing fits.
"What are you gonna do, shorty?" Alex gasped, holding his stomach dramatically. Blake started rolling on the floor, laughing.
I rolled my eyes. They were overdoing it.
"If you don't take me to wherever you are going and where I am sure Ashton and Cameron, currently are, then, Blake, I will call Hailey and Alex, I will upload your pics of changing Stella's diaper, online." I smirked.
Both of them froze mid-laughter and gave me a horrified look. "You wouldn't."
"Try me." I shrugged.
Let's just say, they didn't have much choice after that. All of us gathered inside Blake's silver Mercedes. We had to take Stella with us, much to the boys' displeasure; they grumbled something about her safety. But, where else could we leave her? So, I assured them, that, I was more than capable enough of taking care of Stella. They said that I would forget that once we reached the place.
"Ashton is going to kill us." Blake muttered, from the driver's seat.
"I can't believe this is happening." Alex mumbled from the passenger seat.
I ignored them, and focused on Stella, "Are you ready for your first adventure, Stella?" I asked her, although I didn't know, where we were going.
An excited noise came from Stella's mouth, which I took as a yes.
Only if I knew, at that time, that my words about an adventure would come to be true.
When I stepped out of the car, after half an hour, I couldn't help but gasp, "Holy shizballs!"
