Crush on the Rap God

Job Interview

After being let in at the gate, we drive up the long driveway and park, heading up the stairs to the now open front door. An older gentleman waits inside, smiling as we walk through. 

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Davis. I'm Edward. I am in charge of hiring any potential housekeepers for my employer, the owner of the house. Please follow me to the living room for the interview." We walk through the hallway and into a massive living room where a woman waits. Edward introduces her as his colleague, Martha.

After settling the boys with a snack and a tablet, I answer their questions and hand them my resume.

"You are a very promising candidate, actually the only one that we have liked so far." Edward chuckles. "We would like to offer you the position, but as for the living situation, we need to make sure that you would be comfortable here. There is a guest house that is a short walk from the main house that is available. It has two bedrooms and bathrooms and a kitchen, living room and dining room. It would be perfect for you guys."

"Wait, bringing my kids wouldn't be an issue? I thought I would have to offer to live elsewhere and commute." I say, confused. Most people would not offer a live-in position to someone with kids.

"Our employer told us to hire the best candidate, and you are it. That means doing what is needed to ensure that you take the position. Of course, you would have to find childcare for the time that you are working, but besides that and making sure they are not in the house without permission from the employer, there is no reason you can't take the guest house with the children." Martha smiles at me, trying to encourage me, I think.

"What are the hours like? And what days of the week would I be working?"

"It's the typical Monday through Friday from 8 A.M. to 4 P.M., occasionally you might have to work one weekend day when sir returns home, but you will have paid holidays off to make up for it," Edward said.

"Of course I will take the job. When will I be starting?" I can tell the smile on my face is enormous, probably scary huge, but I can't believe my luck with this job.

"You will start on Monday. Hopefully, that will be enough time to set up childcare."

I found an excellent daycare and preschool for the kids, and today is their first day as well as mine. Today is supposed to be an introductory day. Martha and Edward will tell me what is expected for me to do around the house. I still have no idea who owns the house and is technically my employer, but Ed told me that he travels for work a lot, so he is only home for a few months at a time. He should be home in a month or two, which gives me time to get used to my responsibilities without a boss breathing down my neck. 

Martha hands me a uniform to change into as I walk into the house. It's exactly what I imagined a maid's uniform to be in the mind of a horny dude, complete with the skirt and knee-high socks. I can't believe I'm honestly expected to wear this.

"Martha?" I ask.

"Yes, Bella?" She questions.

"Is this the actual uniform or a joke?"

Martha giggles and looks at me. "It's the actual uniform sir provided. It seems a bit much to me too, but we get paid enough that I don't question his choices too much. He's very respectful and kind in person, but he is a young man who has a few...kinks."

I groan internally before going into the bathroom to put it on. As I walk in, I notice that the guest bathroom is large, with a black marble countertop holding a large sink, a stand-in shower with multiple jets, and a toilet. Putting the uniform on, I notice that the skirt is longer than I initially feared, going right above my knees. Thank god for my shortness. I take my waist-length brown hair and throw it up in a ponytail before walking out.

We walk around the house for a few hours, and Martha and Ed give me a list of everything that needs to be cleaned in each room on what day. It seems that I will also be cooking lunch when the boss returns home. After the walkthrough, they showed me to the guesthouse, which is just a short walk through the backyard on a charming pathway lined with flowers. The boys are going to love this. 

The house is a two-story cottage with a small front deck. Just inside the front door are a wooden shoe organizer and a coat hook. A small hallway leads to a living room that extends into the dining room and a door to the left, which leads to a bathroom. Inside the living room is a big flat screen hung above a fireplace. It's fully furnished with a couch, loveseat, and coffee table. The dining room has a wooden table with four chairs. The walls are a pale cream color which brings out the fireplace's red bricks. 

Walking through a doorway in the dining room, we end up in a spacious kitchen with a double oven in the wall, a stovetop on the black marble countertop, and a large basin sink next to the stainless steel dishwasher. There are many cabinets, a lot of counter space, and an island in the middle. This kitchen is any chef's dream. I already imagine all of the food I could make in here. 

Next to the fridge at the back of the kitchen are stairs leading to the second floor. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom up here. 

"Did you guys set the boys' room up after I was hired?" I asked, eyeing the two twin beds with dinosaur sheets, a toy box, and a bookshelf already full of children's books. 

They nodded in unison, smiling at me. I feel the tears forming in my eyes as I finally realize, "This is home."
