The Nanny
Chapter 3: You Deserve an Award
I woke up sitting in one of the kitchen chairs with my head rested on my folded arms. I got up and stretched, my neck felt stiff. I don't remember when i dozed off but i know i was waiting for a call back from my best friend Rae. I checked my phone and i didn't have any missed calls. She probably fell asleep just as I did. It was just past 6, which gave me about an hour and a half to hang out on my own until i had to start my 'job'. Honestly this was the best job. I get to spend time with an amazing little boy and i get a free stay at a mansion while still getting paid. The only thing i ever had to pay for were my own clothes, and since i don't shop a lot that leaves me with a lot of leftover money. I opened up a bank account and i put it all in there. Mr and Mrs Cline said that they will need me as a nanny until Alek turns 17, that is if they don't have anymore children, but i doubt they will. Thirteen years of saving money will make my retirement a very enjoyable one. I mean they pay $3,000 a week, that's a lot more than i'd ever need.
I went over to the pizza box Harry left on the counter and helped myself to a slice. Cold pizza was actually really good and addicting. I threw the crust out and took my phone out to text Mrs. Cline. I told her Harry had arrived yesterday and i asked when they would be back from their business trip. She told me that they'd arrive around 10.
Since it was monday, Alek had pre school to go to, and he stayed there from 9 to 1. The school was filled with children of celebrities and other wealthy people, but Alek only had one close friend. He told me her name was Lilly and that they became friends because they both had an obsession with superman.
I hung out on my own just looking through youtube videos until it was time to make breakfast. I made enough for Alek and Harry, if Harry didn't want any then i'd just leave it for later. I walked up to their hallway and knocked on Harry's door first. He opened it instantly. I thought he'd be in his pajamas but he was already dressed and looked as if he had been awake for a while.
"What" his expression was blank again. I hated when he did that, i didn't like not being able to read someones facial expressions.
"Breakfast?" I said smiling wearily.
"I'm good" he said as he was about to shut the door. I stuck my foot out so he couldn't close it.
"I need to let you know that your parents are going to be coming back today" i said with my foot still in the way
"Oh well i have to go out anyways, what time are they coming?" It was clear that he wanted to avoid seeing them.
So i lied to him "they'll be here at exactly 4"
"What a shame i actually had to leave at 3:40"he pretended to be sad about it.
I smiled, knowing i tricked him. I moved my foot and let him close the door.

It was currently 8 and time to take Alek to pre-k. He ate all of his breakfast and was showered and well dressed. He always let me pick his clothes and i couldn't help but make him look adorable and classy. My favorite outfit on him was his black jeans with a white tucked in shirt and cute bowtie. He loved it too.
After i dropped him off i decided to have the driver drop me off at the mall. It was 9 which meant an hour until Harry's parents were home. He didn't know they'd be there that early and i wouldn't want to be around when he finally found out. I let the driver go back to the house, there was no point in having him waste his time waiting for me when i could easily take a cab.
I walked around going through random stores, but i didn't buy any clothes. Although, I did buy a few drinks and a necklace for Alek, it had real diamonds and it was a superman logo, he'd love it. I never knew why he was so obsessed with superman, but i guess thats what little kids do, they obsess over random things because they think it looks cool or whatever.
I looked at the time and it was 12 o'clock. I texted Mrs Cline and asked her if she wanted me to pick up Alek or if she would send a driver. She replied fast and said that they left for a meeting. I texted back saying i understood and then made my way down the street. I was calling the cab company i normally used when i saw a familiar car pull up to the side. It was one of Clines Audi's. Chandler used to use it all the time. The window rolled down and to my surprise it was Harry.
"Get in"
I opened the door. I'm not going to lie, i was pretty terrified. He sounded upset and i knew it had to be because of his parents. I just don't know why he's driving around here.
I buckled up and decided it was best to stay quiet. If he wasn't going to speak then i didn't want to either.
"You fucking lied"
i turned to face him. His eyes were focused on the road but his grip on the steering wheel was getting tighter, his knuckles turning white.
"You can't avoid them" i spoke softly
"It's not your place to tell me what i can and can't do." He said through clenched teeth.
My heart was beating faster than normal and my palms were sweaty. I didn't feel safe around him, i've only known him a day and he wasn't proving himself to be that great. I decided to stay silent, i know from past experiences to not fight with someone while they're driving.
"Take a left here" i spoke quietly again. I couldn't wait to pick Alek up, hopefully he could ease the tension , even a little would be fine.
With the intent to annoy me Harry kept driving straight.
"What are you doing?" I raised my voice
He stayed quiet.
"Harry are you fucking serious?"
He still didn't respond, when he stopped at the red light i took that as my opportunity to get out of the car. I heard him shout behind me as i kept walking back down the way we were supposed to go. Harry turned the car around and drove next to me as i walked. I heard him sigh heavily "alright alright i'm sorry okay? I have a short temper sometimes, just get back in the car"
I kept walking, it was my turn to stay quiet.
"Zo don't be stupid. Get in the car."he was agitated.
I kept quiet, people were starting to stare.
It's like he knew how to get me back in when he started to talk again "do you plan on walking with Alek the entire 20 miles back home, or are you just going to carry him"
I heard him smirk. I let out a grunt and walked to the passengers side. I got in and slammed the door hard. He started laughing and actually looked amused. I crossed my arms and stayed pissed. He was either bipolar or stupid. I shook my head at myself when i remembered that i could've just called a cab. I think he deserves an award for being able to get me this angry twice in less than 24 hours.
