ANNABELLA

{ The Billionaire's Maid... }

CHAPTER 27-28

< HIS GIRLFRIEND >

"Nanny??" Casey's voice came from outside and Annabella's eyes widened.

She looked at Gregor who said nothing

"Nanny" Casey called again and Annabella swallowed

"Cutie,what is the matter?" She asked clearly

"Bedtime story nanny" Casey's tiny and soft voice came

"Oh....I will be right there,I came to take my bath,sorry" Annabella replied

"We are waiting nanny" Casey said and left

Annabella immediately held her towel which was about dropping completely

She turned back to Gregor and he released her

"Would you come over to my room when you're done with them?" He asked

Annabella wanted to scream out a 'Why!!!' but even she knows that she can't wait to know why he's inviting her over,and besides,what's going on with him??

"Yes Mr Bells" She mumbled a response and Gregor walked out of the room

Annabella was still in shock and her heart was still beating so fast,how come he still looks so cool and bossy even after everything?? Who the h*ll is this billionaire? Why is he so different and why does he have so much effect on her??

Just now she was feeling like someone thrown into flames,her whole body heated up just by the light touch on her waist.

"Gosh" Annabella bite her bottom lip and quickly dressed up in a short and tank top before going out.

She entered the twins room and immediately they looked up

"Finally you're here" Alex smiled

"Yeah,do you miss me guys?" Annabella asked

"Of course nanny" Casey said and she smiled

Annabella sat down on the bed and they both placed their heads on her laps

"So,nanny,you have to complete our story tonight" Alex said

"Goldilocks and the three bears!" Casey said happily

"Only if you tell me where I stopped" she said

“The wee little chair looks better,” said the girl. She sat on the little chair and it was just right! But when Goldilocks leaned back a bit, the chair broke into a dozen pieces. She plopped right on the floor" Alex and Casey both chorused and Annabella was surprised

"Wow cuties!! You got it right!! Cupcakes for you tomorrow" Annabella said

"Yesssss!!!!!" They shouted happily and once again Annabella continued her story

“Oh, no!” Goldilocks wailed. Then she yawned. There must be somewhere she could lie down for a short nap.

The girl saw a ladder and climbed it to an attic. In a row, three beds were lined up – one big bed, one medium-sized bed, and a wee little bed.

“I'm sure whoever lives here won’t mind if I lay down for just a short nap,” she said. She laid down on the big bed but it was too hard. She laid down on the medium-sized bed but it was too soft. The girl laid down on the wee little bed, and it was just right! As her head hit the pillow, Goldilocks was fast asleep.

"Wow,what about the bears?" Alex asked

"Be calm baby" Annabella smiled

Just then, the three bears came home from their walk. "Oh, my!" said Mama Bear. “Did either of you leave the front door open?”

"They are back!" Casey hid her face inside her palms

“Not I,” said Papa Bear.

"Not I," said Little Bear.

Slowly the three bears stepped inside and looked around.

“Most odd!” said Papa Bear, seeing his spoon in his bowl. “Someone has been eating my oatmeal!”

“Most odd indeed!” said Mama Bear, also seeing her spoon in her bowl. “Someone has been eating my oatmeal!”

“This is the most odd of all!” said Little Bear. “Someone has been eating my oatmeal and they ate it all up!”

"Whoa" Alex and Casey said

The three bears were very surprised, as you can imagine. With care, they stepped into their living room.

“Do you think someone was sitting in my chair?” said Papa Bear.

“I know someone was sitting in my chair,” said Mama Bear, “because I can see the seat cushion is pushed down.”

“And I know someone was sitting in my chair!” said Little Bear. “Because it’s all broken!”

"Awwwn,the little bear suffered the most" Alex said sadly and Annabella stroke his hair

The three bears were even more surprised at that! They climbed the ladder to their attic.

“Someone has been sleeping on my bed,” said Papa Bear, who could see that his blankets were moved.

“Someone has been sleeping on my bed, too,” said Mama Bear, who could also see that her blankets were moved.

“Someone has been sleeping on my bed,” said Little Bear. “And look - she is still there!”

"They saw her" Casey gasped

Goldilocks bolted awake. Three bears were looming over her, and they did not look happy.

“Oh my!” said Goldilocks, jumping out of bed. As quick as she could, she climbed down the ladder and ran out the front door.

Little Bear chased after her. "Wait, please!"

Goldilocks stopped and turned around.

"Tell me," said Little Bear, “Why did you come inside our house?”

“I guess I didn’t think–,“ said Goldilocks.

“And why did you eat my oatmeal?” said Little Bear.

“Well I guess I didn’t think–,“ said Goldilocks.

“And why did you break my chair and sleep in my bed?” said Little Bear.

“Well I guess I didn’t think about that, either,” said Goldilocks.

They were silent.

Goldilocks said, “I suppose I could have waited outside your door.”

“We were coming right home,” said Mama Bear. "We might have invited you in if we knew you were hungry."

"Awwwwnnn" Casey and Alex said in surprise

“I’m sorry about the chair,” said Goldilocks. “I guess you saw it broke.”

"Yep," said Mama Bear with a frown.

“I’m good at fixing things,” said Goldilocks, “If you have glue.”

“Of course we have glue!” said Papa Bear. “What kind of bears do you think we are?”

“I will make it up to you!” said Goldilocks.

"The bears are so nicey!' Casey said and Annabella smiled before she continued again

“Come on in then, dear,” said Mama Bear.

“We'll start over,” said Papa Bear with a nod.

“Come in, come in!” said Little Bear, jumping up and down.

With smiles, they skipped together inside the Bear’s house.

"And that's the end of our story" Annabella said

"Yeeee" Alex and Casey clapped

"You're the best nanny" Alex said

"Thank you Alex,now its time to sleep" Annabella said

"Another story tomorrow night please" Casey pouted

"Sure,now sleep" Annabella said

"Goodnight nanny!" The twins said at once

"Nightie" Annabella kissed their cheeks and finally walked out of the room

••••

Annabella entered the room after knocking countless times without any response,she closed the door behind her and looked around but it was all empty.

'Where is he?' She thought and took her bottom lip in

She was almost about giving up when she turned to see Gregor coming from the lounge

"Mr Bells" She immediately bowed

"You're quite late" Gregor said,pushing his hands into his pockets,he look even more handsome doing that

"Yeah,I have to make sure the cuties..I mean,the kids are asleep" Annabella said and Gregor nodded gently,still staring at her which made Annabella nervous.

"Have your seat" Gregor said and Annabella sat down gently

Gregor also sat down and there was silence the first minute before he started

"Your name is Bella?" Gregor asked

"Annabella" Annabella said

"That's too long" Gregor scoffed and Annabella bite her lips

'I'm asking for your full name Bella" Gregor said

"Annabella Rodrigo" She responded

"Age?" Gregor questioned

"Twenty" Annabella muttered

"Then...why are you here?" Gregor asked softly and Annabella understood immediately

"I dropped out from school...you see...we are quite poor,so I had to drop out" Annabella muttered

"Oh....." Gregor mumbled

"My dad is dead,I think that's why" Annabella added

"Sorry about that" Gregor said

"It's nothing,and besides I guess I will get back soon" Annabella said and Gregor looked at her

"Do you have any plan?" He asked

"You're going to pay me right?" Annabella asked and Gregor chuckled

"You're right" He muttered with a smile

"Dimples" Annabella said without thinking and touched his cheek

Gregor looked at her

"Oh no" She immediately shifted back

"I'm sorry" She bowed and Gregor chuckled

"Drama queen" He muttered and Annabella bite her lip

"Thanks for taking care of my kids,they seem to like you a lot,I thought they wouldn't,guess I was wrong" Gregor said and Annabella smiled

"I love staying with them Mr Bells,really...a lot" she said

"Tell me if you ever need anything,okay?" Gregor said and Annabella was quite surprised

"I don't mind helping" he added

"Thank you Mr Bells" Annabella said and he nodded

"Goodnight" Gregor said and Annabella stood up

"Goodnight sir" She said and walked out of the room

Gregor smiled and got on the bed,he wouldn't lie,he enjoyed the little minutes of talk he just had with her,she's so cute and lively

His mind went to how he almost kissed her earlier

"Geez,I am going crazy. What was I trying to do?" He mumbled

He was just about closing his eyes when his phone beeped,he checked and realized he have an online meeting to attend.

He sat up and grabbed his laptop.

••••

"Coming" Cindy said when the knock came again as she walked towards it

She finally opened the door and her eyes widened when she saw who was standing right in front of her

"Tha...Thadeus....Storm?!!!!" She screamed and Thadeus smiled at her

"Daughter,is everything okay?" Mrs Rodrigo showed up also

"Mom" Thadeus greeted and Cindy gasped

'Mom?' She screamed inwardly staring at Thadeus who already came in

"Mom,do you know Thadeus? He owns,classic four wheels" Cindy whispers to Mrs Rodrigo

"Oh...what is such an influential person doing in our house? Please have a seat" Mrs Rodrigo said and Cindy immediately gestured to the couch

Thadeus sat down

"Thank you mom" he said and Mrs Rodrigo was surprised that he called her that again

"So,Mr Storm,what brought you here?" She asked

"Annabella" Thadeus replied and Cindy bite her lips

"Oh...you know my daughter?" Mrs Rodrigo asked

"Not just that...I'm in love with your daughter,Mom" Thadeus said and Mrs Rodrigo's eyes widened.,same with Cindy.

••••

Annabella waited,staring at Casey and Alex as they both picked a piece from the bowl of cupcakes she just made,they are sitting on the couch in the living room.

She fulfilled her promise like she said last night

"Wow!!!!" Alex and Casey screamed with wide eyes

"Good?" Annabella asked

"This is the best cupcake I've ever tasted,Nanny why don't you just....."

"Open a cupcake shop,I know" Annabella completed Alex's statement and they all laughed

"You're the best nanny,thank you" Casey said

Maggie came in and dropped two cups of milk in front of them before she left

"Nanny,how about some cupcakes for daddy? I'm sure he will love it" Alex suggested and Annabella nodded

"Stay here then,I will take some to him" Annabella said and they nodded

She left the sitting room and went to the kitchen,she placed the cupcakes in a flat plate and added a bottle of juice to it before going upstairs.

She gently knocked on Gregor's door

"Come in" Gregor's cool voice came and she entered

Gregor was busy working

"Sorry to disturb you Mr Bells,I made this for the kids and they want me to give you some" Annabella said and Gregor looked up

"You were not planning to give me?" He asked and Annabella bashed her lashes

"I....am sorry" She immediately said and Gregor nodded

"Drop it here" he said,pointing to the nearest stool to his bed

Annabella bowed and dropped it before going out

Gregor continue working but then decided to have a taste

He took a bite from one and chewed it slowly,his eyes widened

"Is there anything she can't do?" He muttered with a smile as the cupcake melted inside his mouth.

Back in the living room,the twins are still eating their cupcakes when suddenly the door opened.

Mr&Mrs Campbell walked in,followed by Melanie

"Granny!!!!!"

"Grandpa!!!!!"

Alex and Casey screamed and immediately rushed to hug them

"My babies" Mrs Campbell hugged Casey first and then Alex,same goes with Mr Campbell

"Aunt Melanie" Casey moved to her

"I see I'm the last choice" Melanie rolled her eyes and they laughed

"Why so jealous?" Mrs Campbell laughed

"Welcome Sir"

"Welcome Ma'am"

The maids all greeted and they finally settled down

"Where's my son?" Mr Campbell asked and Immediately the maids went to get him

"Here" Casey pushed a cupcake into Melanie's mouth

"Wow,who made this?" Melanie asked asked.

"Our mommy made it" Alex and Casey said

Mrs Campbell and Mr Campbell turned immediately

"Mommy?" Mrs Campbell asked

"Yes,she's here" Alex pointed as Annabella showed up and everyone turned to her again,confusing her

She greeted them

"Really?? She's in a relationship with my brother?" Melanie asked,looking at Annabella whose eyes widened immediately

Mr Campbell and Mrs Campbell said nothing,they only stared at the young lady in front of them until Gregor walked in too

"You didn't tell me you were coming" He said,not knowing what was going on exactly

"Son,you didn't tell me you got a girl already" Mr Campbell said

"Girl?" Gregor asked and Annabella swallowed

"My grand children said she's their new mom" Mrs Campbell pointed at Annabella and Gregor looked at her,Annabella only gave him her innocent look,wondering what was going on in his mind right now

There was total silence until Gregor spoke up

"Yeah,She's my girlfriend" He said and Annabella gasped
