The Nanny
Chapter 1: The Intro
"Toss me those keys" Chandler said as he pulled his suitcases to the limo. I grabbed the keys off the steps and threw them to him."thanks, i wouldnt be able to get in my new apartment without these babies" he said as he tucked the keys into his pocket.
"So when are you coming back again?" I smiled innocently at him.
"Zo, i'm not," he came over and hugged me, " you know im moving to Paris to start my own company."
I sighed, Chandler was always helpful. He taught me how to deal with Alek in his ups and downs. It was going to be weird with him gone, he was a few years older but he was the closest thing to a real friend in the Cline home. I loved little Alek but he was a 4 year old, you can't really talk to a four year old.
"Whatever." i looked at my finger nails, "does this mean i can finally get a bigger room?" I asked eagerly
"No." He laughed
"What do you mean no?"
"I mean no, because it wont be vacant. My brothers going to take it." He shoved the last suitcase into the trunk.
"What's a four year old going to do in that huge room? Plus, ive been working here for over a year, i believe i deserve an upgrade" i was serious but i was also smiling. I really did want a bigger room. I couldnt take the guest room because it was on the bottom floor and Mr. and Mrs. Cline wanted me to be close to Alek in case something happened, which left me with two choices; my current room or Chandlers room.
"I wasn't refferring to Alek," he tried to fix his tie, " i was reffering to my other younger brother, Harry. He's going to come and live with you guys."
I saw his difficulty with his tie so i went and fixed it for him, "Since when do you have another brother? I've been here for a long time and none of you have ever mentioned him." I spoke softly.
"Because we didn't consider him part of the family, not after he left. But" he continued, "my dad wants to change that. So he's coming back."
I stood outside the window of the limo, leaning in to see Chandler, "Aren't you going to wait to welcome him home?"
"I don't have the time Zoe. And i haven't seen him in years, he wont care if im not there."
This family was so confusing. If i hadn't seen a member of my family for that long then i would be anxiously awaiting their arrival. Then again, i wouldn't allow any member of my family to distance themselves to the point where we don't talk for that long.
"Well when is he coming?" I was curious, they really haven't mentioned him before. They didnt even have pictures.
He looked at his rolex watch, "in an hour"
My mouth dropped, "where are your parents? Are they going to make it in time to see him?" I didnt want Harry to come and not have anyone welcome him.
"No they wont be coming back till tomorrow. But we do have two people to welcome him" he said smiling.
I raised an eyebrow at him as if to ask him who
"A little boy named Alek and a lovely nanny called Zoe" he smirked
"You have got to be kidding?" I said, "what is he even like? Like what should i expect? Should i make a cake or something?" I suddenly got nervous. I wasn't good at meeting people, i would never know what to say or do.
"You're asking me as if i should know" he started to roll up the window, "call you later."
I stepped back and watched as the car started.
"Tell Alek I love him when he wakes up!!" He yelled as the limo kept going.
When he was out of view i walked back into the mansion. It was 7 and Alek usually wakes up at 7:30, which means i should start on his breakfast.
I took out the eggs and sausage and began to prepare them just the way he likes it. I set the table just for him and poured a fresh glass of orange juice for him aswell. I looked at the clock, it was 7:25, time to wake Alek.
I climbed up 2 flights of stairs until finally seeing the little superman logo on one of the doors. I knocked first to see if he woke up on his own, within 10 seconds the door opened slowly. I looked down to see a smiling little boy. I knelt down to his level, "guess whose breakfast is done?" I poked him gently in his tummy.
"Mine?"he questioned sweetly.
i stood back up and put my hand out so he could grab it. He managed to hold on with 3 fingers as he followed me down the stairs and to the kitchen.
"I love orange juice!" He cheered as he ran to his seat. For a four year old he was extremely talkative, smart, bright, and everything you'd expect of a 10 year old to be able to do.
I grabbed the seat across from him. "Chandler wanted me to tell you that he loves you and will miss you sooooo much!" I exaggerated the 'so'.
He looked up at me with big round eyes, "i miss him"
I felt an ache in my heart, Alek really didn't deserve all this heartbreak. His parents were never around and now his big brother was leaving him too.
"I know, sweety. But hey i have good news. You're going to have a new brother coming today" i tried to sound happy
"Really??" He grinned, "is he like Chandler?!"
"He's even better than Chandler! His names Harry, you'll love him!" I wasnt sure if what i was saying was true but i was hoping it was for Aleks sake.
"Good" he said while drinking his juice.
When he was done i cleared the table and washed the few dishes that had piled up. Alek sat on the counter and watched me, telling me knock knock jokes the whole time.
I was laughing at one of his jokes when i heard a buzzer. I went to the phone and pressed the security button.
"A guest by the name of Harry has arrived. Do we let him through?" The head of the gate security asked. I always found it funny that we only had security for the main entrance to the mansion but no where else.
"So when are you coming back again?" I smiled innocently at him.
"Zo, i'm not," he came over and hugged me, " you know im moving to Paris to start my own company."
