Nanny’s Life

Chapter two

I'm getting off the shower, it's pretty early because I have an appointment,

I found a babysitting add last night and called, it was a nice woman who said was the maid and her boss had 3 adorable kids and wanted a new nanny because he was an important business man and in urgent (apparently) need of a professional service

Sonia the maid said that I had the appointment with her boss at his office she gave me the exact address and name of her boss.

It was rare antics, I always had the appointments at their homes, but whatever.

I go and pick something to wear nothing fancy just some jean shorts and a yellow tee some converse and my brown cross-body.

Looking the front door and taking my bike I go to the location where is Mr Beckett's office.

I pull up to this amazingly big building made of glass and having a very expensive mood to the building,

I regret having such casual clothing.

While entering I'm given weird glances, but I do my best to ignore it and walk to the reception desk.

"Hello how can I help you?" A beautiful blond girl maybe a little older than me in an impeccable pencil skirt and a white and fancy blouse, greets me with a friendly smile.

I return the smile "I'm here to see..." I turn to unfold the wrinkled piece of paper in my hands "Mr Beckett, I have an appointment."

"Yes, what's your name?" She asked searching the laptop she had at one side

"Darcy, Darcy Valentine"

"Oh yes on the elevator to your left he is in the 20th floor"

"Thank you"

"Oh and I'm Lauren by the way" she says with a small, reassuring smile

"Nice to meet you and Thanks" and I go to the lift, press the number 20 and take a breath that I surely need

The ding of the lift starts me up from my thinking what could happen.

There is another receptionist and this one is bitchy when I ask for directions, she just vaguely point to a black wooden door and I go to there to nock.

"Come in" says a dark and velvety voice, I go in and the same voice tells me to close the door

"Good morning sir? I'm Darcy Valentine, I called last night for the babysitter ad" I explain with a unsure voice and walk forward, all I see is a mop of brown almost black hair and the rest of his face Is behind a laptop, he is working on it, I suppose.

He seems young, older than me, I can se his arms moving at the speed of light with all the typing he is doing, in a suit that is grey and looking really expensive.

I take a look to what I'm wearing and gulp down saliva

"Yes Miss Valentine please take a seat" he orders with his velvety voice that melts me like a strawberry ice cream on a Sunday morning and each step I take I can see more of his face.

His focused eyes that cannot see what colour they have, covered by his lids that are filled with long manly eyelashes, his straight and defined nose, his beautiful cheekbones that stand proud in his beautiful face, his deliciously defined jaw that I wanted to trace with my mouth and teeth, finally his mouth pressed in a focused frown, still his bottom lip is a bit fuller than his upper one, really kissable....

'Shut up, Darcy' I say mentally and shake my head to get those ideas out of my head and focus on the matter.

When I sit down he finally looks up from the screen and his blue-green eyes focus on me.

I suddenly don't know how to breathe anymore.

That freaking handsome all together

"Just Darcy, Mr Beckett"

He just nodded in response while he watched me, my movements, expressions, how I was dressed, I felt like an animal trapped in a cage.

I cleared my throat to get rid of the weird atmosphere

"Anyway, as you saw in the ad, I need a nanny to take care of my children, I'm going to ask you some questions and then I'll tell you the responsibilities I'm requiring, understood?"

I nodded, not daring to look him in the eye, because of the power that his words inflicted on me.

"So, why do you want this job?" he asked sitting back on his "boss chair"

"Well, the library I was working for closed and I need a job as soon as possible" I answered twisting my fingers in my lap, he made me nervous

He nodded and continued with the interview

"Are you married, or have a boyfriend?"

What???

"Why would that mater?"

"Because it does" he said getting angry

I rolled my eyes, but answered anyway

"Neither"

After that we continued and he asked me why was I not in University and I told him about what happened, I was going to study literature in the NY University but I couldn't get a scholarship, and I didn't have any money.

After talking about my mother a little because I couldn't contain the sob that escaped my lips, we continue to my sister Caroline and that she was in Egypt or somewhere on Africa, then he questioned me about kids

"Do you want to ever have any kids?"

"Only if I found someone that I love and loves me enough to have them, I wouldn't like kids being born in bad relationships, I'm the product of one in fact"

His face turned to an expression of sadness but it went as fast as it came

"Okay Miss Valentine," he started saying, getting some papers from a drawer and passing them to me, it was a contract

"I need someone who takes care of my children but also who prepare my clothes every morning, take care of their needs , take them to school and back, amongst other tasks.You’re going to be a stay nanny from Monday to Friday and be with my sons 23/7 understand?" He instructed me with a serious face and a business tone to his velvety voice

I nodded timidly and then thought about the 23/7 and I asked before I could hold back my question "But What is the other hour for....sir.?"

He directed his hard gaze to my eyes making a point

"To tend me of course"
