Lesley gawked at the buildings as she paid the cabman. She took out her phone to cross-check the address. She was at the right place, Greenlands estates. But how?. The house... scratch that.... the mansion was so huge!. she walked towards the huge gates. it opened automatically after a red light scanned her.
"sleek..." She muttered under her breath as she walked in fully, looking at her surroundings. The mansion was at the center of the huge compound, so very large... smaller buildings also here and there. Guards in tux suits were standing in strategic places. Who the hell owns such kind of mansion!.She held the bag containing her requirements and slowly walked towards the mansion. A man in casual clothes approached her."Morning miss, are you here for the interview?." He asked. She nodded, still gawking sheepishly at the compound. Okay She's seen huge mansion but not as beautiful as this fuck!."Where's your prove miss?." The man asks, ignoring the way she admired the mansion.. She frowned at him and blinked"Huh... what prove?""When were you booked for the interview?." He asked, looking at her suspiciously.She muttered an *oh!* and showed him her booking on her phone. He nodded and motioned for her to follow him. Together they walked the remaining steps to the mansion.He led her past a huge fountain surrounded by blue glass. Lesley stared at it in amazement. Such a beautiful sight!.They entered a hallway leading to a lift. They got in and he punched a button. Lesley ran her hands through her hair, her hand shaky. She was nervous. She breathed in and out willing her self to remain calm.The lift opened and they stepped They was a short flight of stairs leading to a door. He motioned for her to go in and he left. Lesley made the sign of the cross, breathed in and entered.It was a living room. About thirty ladies were seated. some were staring at her as she made her way to a couch. She sat beside a lady."Hi." She greeted politely. The lady looked up from her phone and eyed her warily before going back to her phone. Lesley rolled her eyes."Fucking snub" she muttered under her breath."What the fuck did you just call me?" she raised her voice, earning stares from some ladies. Lesley pretended not to hear and brought out her phone."I wonder what a poor bitch like you is doing here without any stuff for the kid". There was a ripple of laughter in the room. Lesley bit her lip in embarrassment and hung her head low. A door slammed and everyone looked up to see a lady angrily walking out of an adjoining room."Fuckin little asshole" She cursed as she walked out. Everyone became tensed. A lady came out of the same room."Brenda Harley?". she called"Over here miss." A slim lady with shoulder length hair stood up."You're next". she answered rudely and went in. Brenda picked up her box wrapped in pink foils and with a warm smile went in.Lesley stared at the closed door.... she didn't feel like going anymore. Brenda's gift looked very enticing. Everyone was looking disappointed too. She brought out a can of juice and gulped some of it. Five minutes passed and yet Brenda hadn't come out. People held sad disappointed faces. Lesley sighed; another futile interview.The door opened slowly to reveal Brenda. She hung her head down and was dabbing at her eyes, sniffing. Her gift still wrapped. She made her way out of the room. Some were smirking at her while others looked at her in pity. The lady came out and called the next person. Lesley watched as the ride girl beside her stood up immediately and went in.She didn't last up to a minute, before she stormed out angrily. Her huge pink teddy bear under her arm. Lesley smirked at her as she leant back into the couch.Minutes turned into hours with the lady coming in to call names. People going in and coming out either with sad or unhappy faces. More leaving and more coming in, yet none has gotten the job. Lesley was dozing off when she heard her name being called, she jolted out from her sleep."Who's Lesley Perkins?". The lady blurts, eyes impatiently scanning the room."I am Miss". she answered standing up. The lady glanced at her and her bag and shook her head."You're next..." She says, and Lesley felt her throat run dry......Lesley clutched her bag tightly in her hand. Her palm was sweaty already, just for a kid. Jeez!. She entered the door leading into a short hallway. The walls painted with pictures of fairies, Princes and princesses. The floor covered with colorful marble tiles. A security man was at the door."Where's your requirement miss?." The security guard asks. Lesley held up her bag. He collected it and placed it inside a machine. Seconds later he removed it and handed it back to her." Good luck." He said and opened the door for her. Lesley stepped into the room... or maybe stepped into a fairy's home.She gasped softly taking in the beauty of the room. Gosh... the room looks like Disney Land!. The floor covered in latest 3d tiles. The walls made up of glass. A beautiful grand piano. The huge bed with classy blue curtains, the..."Are you gonna keep staring, You could get the fuck out you know."Lesley jolted out from her wonderland. She stared at Hazel, who was sitted on the huge bed her back to her. Her clothes looking so classy and costly. Her hair smooth and long. She cleared her throat."Hi.... Hazel."" what have you got?". she asked rudely ignoring her greetings. Lesley huffed. kids act like they are tough. Buh they'd be the softest if you cross those barriers they put up."Your room is beautiful."she complimented."I know, stop wasting my fucking time." Lesley palms became sweaty. She had dealt with kids this was definitely different from the rest. God she needs the to secure the job. She's getting sick of being idle.She wracked her head for another compliment."And you're beautiful". she took some steps forward. Hazel straightened her back."You haven't seen me yet". Her voice was lower than before. Good, a barrier has been broken."I don't need to see you, your voice says it all." She took some steps forward again. There was a brief pause."My friends says my voice is always sounds gruffy." There was sadness etched in her voice."No Hazel.... they are only jealous of you. you've got the sweetest angelic voice ever in voice history." Lesley says truthfully. There was another silence. Hazel stuck her hair behind her ears, another barrier broken. By this time, Lesley was close to Hazel. She stood in front of her."And only angels have angelic voices."She finished with a sad smile on her face. Hazel looked up slowly and Lesley could swear a smile tugged at her lips."Guess what I brought for you?""I'm not good at guessing." she replied. There wasn't a trace of rudeness in her voice again. Just plain childish voice. Lesley opened the bag and brought out a lunch pack."I brought you cookies and meat filled pastries." Lesley opened the lunch pack and took out a plastic wrap. Hazel widened her eyes in delight, and smacked her lips."I love cookies!" She giggled in excitement."Wanna have some?."She asked holding out the plastic wrap."Are they home made?"."Of course they are Hazel... I made them myself". Hazel took a cookie and bit into it."hmm, so yummy!" she compliments, stuffing the rest into her mouth and reaching for a piece of pastry. Now all barrier broken, Lesley sat down on the bed beside her."I could make many of these Hazel." Lesley mutters"Really?". she asked absentmindedly, dealing with the delicacies."Yeah.... we'd bake them together." Hazel smile widened."I'd love to do so with a beautiful nanny as you." Lesley smiled in affection. Her eyes clouding in tears."You won't call me nanny Hazel, call me Lesley.""Okay Lesley... thanks for the treat." She muttered, hesitating a little before throwing her arms around her. Lesley hugged her back and kissed her hair. The door opened to reveal the lady calling names. She frowned on seeing their position."Should I bring in the next applicant Miss Hazel?" she asked tiredly. Hazel looked back at her with a scowl on her face"Nope.... tell them to get thier sorry asses outta there I've got one already." The lady nodded and closed the door softly behind her. Hazel went back to stuffing the food into her mouth. Lesley smiled widely as her heart leapt in joy.Oh heavens knows she'd do everything to keep this job. Her life was gradually shaping up. She continued feasting her eyes on the room as Hazel focused on dealing with the snacks.....Lesley walked out of the waiting room and took the lift for the ground floor. She hugged her bag in excitement. She couldn't believe she had gotten the job. And to top it all, the job she loves most, Looking after children.The lift doors opened and she stepped out. She walked past the fountain as she stared at it again.... well she'd see it closely when she resumes work. She walked out of the huge gates and stopped a cab."Crescent's. Fifth avenue." she told the cabman as she got in. She had been given her work schedule by the lady who was calling the names.Hazel had eaten every piece of the pastries and cookies She had brought and made her promise to bring more when she resumes. And she was to start work two days from now... plenty of time to shop for new working clothes. She smiled. Finally she has gotten a job!. Away from boredom and away from her thinking. Good riddance to her past life. She's gotten a new life now and she would live it to the fullest.***********************Wh
No!, this can't possibly be a human. He was more like a demigod..... if not more than that."Hi, Mr Gauthier." She wanted her voice to come out well, but it came out more like a squeak. Get a hold of yourself Lesley!. she groaned internally."Please come over miss Perkins." Came his soft reply. Lesley felt weak at the knees as she walked to where he was. She took a sit opposite him, and unwillingly found herself drooling.His face was flawless, chisseled chin, perfectly arched brows and his lips set in a hard line, a non smiling one. His hair looking so soft she wanted to run her hands through it. Those abs visible through the light shirt he wore were more than normal ones."It's a relief that finally Hazel has found someone she likes, and for the first time she didn't gripe about the new nanny." Gary started as he watched her.Lesley watched him move his lips as he spoke, such flawless American accent!. How could one be this perfect?.."uh... umm..... I'm elated she accepted me
I knead the dough as Hazel stood on a small stool, mixing eggs in a bowl. Hazel won't stop chattering, boasting of how she's gonna be a better cook than me when she's all grown up. I sigh and let her chatter, I can do nothing to stop her.It's been two long weeks since I started working for the Gauthiers. Long enough to know almost everything about the mansion, the maids, the security men and Hazel. The only person I've not been given the slightest chance to know is Gary Gauthier, the demi god in form of human. Since Hazel's room occupies a floor it's almost impossible that I meet him.Hazel always has a thousand things to do and it keeps me in her apartment all the time. As for Gary, I subconsciously wish I don't have physical contact with him. The few times I did, all I ever do is stutter and act nervous around him. Everything about him is so freaking intimidating. From his killer looks to his scrutinizing gaze.Hazel Is gradually becoming a part of my routine, so smart and lovable
BRIE'S POVI bang my head in frustration against the headrest as the car drives out of the mansion."Take me to a club" I bark at the driver. Alright I know I fucked up big timez but that was so fuckin embarrassing!. Gary kissing that dirty looking bitch in my presence. I don't seem to know her, she definitely ain't a celebrity, her clothes looks so cheap. I pressed a button on the armrest as it revealed a cabinet full of drinks. What I need now is lots of drinks, music and a good d i c k at the club. For f u c k sake I divorced Brian because I thought Gary had no one!. I'm certain I can get him back, Gary had never been able to resist me, and so long as I'm Brie, he'd never be.LESLEY PERKINS' POVStacy had literally freaked out when I told her of the kiss with Gary. I mean who wouldn't?, It's Gary Gauthier we're talking about."Jeez.... how did it feel like Lesley.... does his lips taste of dollars?. She mused and I roll my eyes dramatically"For f u c k sake Stacy he did it not b
My pulse quickened and heat travelled down my body. His lips brushes my earlobe softly and I suck in my breath sharply. Gary pulls away, leaving me heated up, before sitting between I and Hazel. I clench and unclench my fist so I can stop the erratic way my heart beats. Why the heck is he flirting with me!. I've gotta tell him he should stop, I've barely lasted a month here and I sincerely don't want any scandal."Hey Dad!". Hazel squeaks in excitement as she sit up, its obvious she loves her dad. If only he could pay more attention to her."How you Hazel." He pecks her on the cheek."I'm okay Dad, what you doing here?." She asks as she pours herself a cup of milk."I live here." He says and roll his eyes at her. Hazel grins."No Dad I meant here in the garden. I can't remember the last time I saw you here dad, it's cos of Lesley right?." She smirks and folds her arm. My cheeks heat up cos am blushing.Gary chuckles and reaches for the plate of pancakes. He spreads apple syrup o
LESLEY PERKINS' POVI'm on my third cup of coffee and Stacy on her fourth. I'm repeating the same thing over and over again."Wait..... I don't really understand Lesley..... Gary Gauthier asked you out on a date?" She blurts. I huff and wrap my fingers around the mug."No Stacy, he asked me to accompany him to an anniversary because his mom insists he brings a girl along.""What's the difference... last time I checked when a guy asks you out it's called a date Lesley. He officially asked you out cos he's into you.""Fuck stacy..... he's not!.""He is sweetie.... and trust me when I say.... something good is gonna come out of that date. Now you need to shop for more sexy dresses, you'd need to go to the spa...""Stacy!, enough of me already... how is Jeffrey?." I ask dismissively. Jeffrey Is stacy's boyfriend. The last thing I wanted right now is she reminding me of him .. when all I wanted to do was forget him. But it just seemed impossible. His cute face, nice abs, soft looking hai
LESLEY PERKINS' POVMy heartbeat is erratic and I suck in my breath. Gary notices and he pulls away to stare at me."What's wrong?." He voiced out immediately. I blink away what seemed like tears."You scared I'm gonna hurt you huh?" He smirks and I shut my eyes and nod. Oh how I wish it were that. I wish it was that simple. He chuckles and palm my cheeks"I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm sorry I'm damn attracted to you, ever since you walked into my territory I've always wanted to know how your lips would taste like, how your velvet skin would feel like." He paused as his hands went up to cup the male of my neck. Shivers coarsed down my spine, more from his words than his touch. Deep inside my subconscious screamed to get away from this man in front of me, but I couldn't. Not with the way he stared so intensely at me, not with the way he kissed me perfectly. Though my heart was thudding in fear, I shut out whatever demons were threatening to take over my sanity and forced a smile.I drap
GARY GAUTHIER'S POVI hugged her figure as the driver drove out wildly to the nearest hospital. I can't seem to comprehend what just happened.I look down at her sleeping figure and am worried, fucking worried. What the fuck just happened?.Minutes ago I was kissing her very delicate skin, she was just fine. Glowing, looking damn beautiful and then we pulled up at a very expensive club, the most expensive in Atlanta and she stares at the building and goes into shock.Its been so long I feel helpless, Even when I and Brie got divorced, I hadn't felt helpless.But now I couldn't help feeling helpless. She looks so pale my heart longed to protect her.I don't know the effect she has on me. I've known her for over a month but it seems like forever.Throughout the short ride to the hospital, I hug her frame figure, kiss and ruffle her hair and listen to her shallow breathing. Minutes later he pulls up at the hospital and goes out swiftly.The door opens and I rush out heading for th
