ANNE
It's great that you've finally reopened the agency,I always thought this day would never come,"Tasha,my friend and housemate who'd always been by my side since THEIR deaths two years ago,said." But,I don't think naming it after your sis is a good idea." Ever since that snowy day,it has always been hard for me during winter. I was always scared I'd die also if I drive during that period.
"That's what Rosie wanted,she told me to name it after her and her best food,"I explained sadly."It's too painful that she didn't get to see how I mixed her name with ice cream,"I cried
"I understand you,its okay. Just let go of the past and move on forward."
"That's what I have to do,"I said smiling a bit. It had been two years now since that day,though it wasn't enough to mourn over their deaths atleast it was enough to start living again.
"Well, while you're still thinking,I have to go to work"
"Okay,bye,"she hugged me and left the house as usual leaving me to my Mac book. I started dropping adverts for new employees into the agency. It was a babysitting agency,so I would have different babysitter from all over the world, some which are not in New york with me would work from home and provide babysitting services to people around their country or state,then I'd pay them monthly salary.
This was always my mum's idea before she died,now I have to continue from were she stopped. My mum never discriminated, she wanted both male and female babysitters, because they were both good. So I also added males to the ad.
Some minutes later,I started receiving some notifications on my Mac book, wondering what they were I dropped the plate which I was about using to take some cookies and went to check it. Clicking on the notification bar,I saw replies from the adverts I placed like 30 minutes ago,some were saying they'd been waiting for this day since my mum died and some were just surfing the internet and saw the ad. I send a reply to all of them, that they should come for an interview today by 2,since it was already 12.
I ate some cookies and downed them with milk,then went to pick out an outfit for the interview which would be done in my study,I'd already set up some chairs beside the room so they could wait there. My closet was filled with clothes I'd not worn in like forever,I only went out to get groceries these days. I hardly even knew my neighbours.
The house was a mini mansion designed by my father,he said it was just the perfect size for me and my sister to stay since we wanted to move out of our parents house. But since my sister died,the house felt too big for me,that's why I had to get a roommate,or should I say housemate.
Though my parents had a lot of money,hell they were millionaires,and had willed everything they had to me and my sister,I still felt a need to work and earn my own money,which is something my mum had always said we should do. We weren't some kind of spoilt rich kid who would spend their parents money lavishly instead of making their own money.
I picked a blue doggy t-shirt and a slightly washed jeans,with my black vans,this should be okay for an interview. Then I went to take a shower and wash my hair. When I got out of the bathroom,I blow dried my hair and combed it out,styling it into a ponytail. I got into my clothes and did some light make up,put on my contacts and wore my shoes.
The sound of the door bell made me jump a little before I went to get the door. It was a pretty young lady who had come for the interview, we headed straight to the study. I had made a sign which at the front door which says "If you're here for the interview, come in,climb the stairs and wait at the first door you see till your name is called"
The first lady's name was Briella Downs,I had immediately fallen in love with her,the way she talked would make you want to drop your child for her without hesitating, she had this weird charisma and looked like someone who loved kids. She had also been babysitting her siblings since she was 10. Though she was young,I still felt like she'd be the best for the job.
After 2 hours of interviews and I'd interviewed everyone, I finally took out my Mac book and ticked out the names of people who didn't get in,I had interviewed up to 30 people and had found 25 babysitters worthy of joining the agency,with only 5 males. I sent them each a message that they were to resume work the following Monday, which was in three days time.
Then,I settled down and did the interviews of those who weren't in New York through video calls. It would be just like it was with those who were with me in the country,the only difference was that,I'd not be seeing them physically, only through video calls.
After the interview,I found nine more people worthy of the position,at that time,Tasha had come back from work and had already prepared dinner for both of us,I was so exhausted.
I set the dining table,while she rounded up her cooking," I'm so tired,what have you been up to all day,besides video calling random people?"
"I wasn't video calling random people,that was an interview," I informed her. "I placed the ad for the agency and surprisingly in 30 minutes I'd received a lot of replies,even from people who aren't in New york"
"Wow,I was thinking when you placed it,it would take like three days before you get replies."
"I guess some people knew about the agency when my mum was about making it,so it was easy."I told her.
"That's good,so how many people did you interview?"
"Like 45",Tasha nodded smiling with a mouthful of mac and cheese in her mouth." So how did your day go?"
"We'll,nothing new really happened,"she said frowning a bit,"Mr Falcon kept picking on me as usual."
"You should quit that job and join me in managing the agency,you know,"I said as a matter of fact."We could do this together."
"As much as I want to do that,I don't want him to think I'm a weakling or something. Like I ran away because of him." I understood what she was saying,but I felt she didn't have to put up with his trash anymore.
"If you change your mind,the job is still open for you okay?" She nodded yes.

BRIAN"Daddy,are you gonna come back late again today?"Ava asked me as I picked up my briefcase,she always asked me everyday and I always came late."Baby girl,I will try to make it up to you today okay?"I said,not sure of myself."Ok daddy.......Alexis,daddy has awesome plans for us today when he gets back,"my babies were getting older and I missed most of it. I think its time I get an assistant, I really need to reduce the work load which are on me and start spending some quality time with my kids.There was a knock on the door,I went to get it hoping it was their babysitter. I opened it and saw Martha, "Good Morning Martha, you came just in time." She sighed and shrugged before making her way into the house. She was the only nanny who lasted a month with my girls. Don't get me wrong,my twins are angels,when you get passed their trickery -if there was a word like that- a
ANNEWork started today and almost all the babysitters were all booked,it was like parents were waiting for me to open the agency before getting babysitters for their kids. And I liked the fact that we were moving so fast,though I didn't get the chance to meet all the parents,I feel like they'll be nice.Tasha had not come back from work,she was unusually late,I hope her boss wasn't giving her much trouble. I decided to make dinner,she'll surely be exhausted when she gets back.My phone started ringing,it was Tasha,"I'll be home late,"she said from the other end."You're already late,what's keeping you?"I asked her"I'll tell you later,"she said and giggled. This was so unlike her,was she drunk?"Are you drunk?""Of course not,I'm just very excited.""Come home quick okay,"I hung up,sh
BRIANI tried focusing all day,but I couldn't concentrate, my mind was all on Anne. She looked so stunning,I'd always promised myself that I wouldn't fall for any woman,but she makes me feel like breaking my promise. It was like love at first sight,"Brian! What the hell? What are you thinking of?" Kevin asked looking pissed." I've been calling you for like ages now,"I rolled my eyes and sighed."I met this girl..."I just knew he'd interrupt"You met a girl? What does she look like?" his anger was long gone."If you hadn't interrupted, I'd I've told you what she looked like,"I stated smiling sheepishly."Wow, she must be really hot and have a nice shape since she has you blushing like this,"Kevin said bumping me in the shoulder lightly."Sooo... What about miss Colton?"I winked at him, he smiled and said.
ANNEI woke up to the sound of my phone alarm, it was always set to wake me at 6 every morning, I yawned and got up. Wait, this doesn't look like my room at all, the walls were blue and the room looked really manly, a king sized bed at the middle, a bookshelf full with books that looked like something I'd read for a year. Though I loved reading books, these books were all huge. Then it clicked, I never went home yesterday, I really need a change of clothes and some food. Going home was my best option, I opened the room door and peeped outside, some freshly baked bread smell hit my nose as my stomach growled in response. Does Brian cook? I wondered, I fully opened the door and went quietly down the stairs at the right side of the room I slept in. The bread smell got stronger by this time, I was still thinking of how hungry I was when I bumped into a hard wall. "Good morning, "the wall sp
If you're still reading this book I want to say thank you for even opening the book, also thank you for being patient and for reading up till now, that will be all for now. Please, go on with the book. ***AVA(yes you saw that right, little Ava's POV) Pretending wasn't something I was good at, its a good thing sometimes, but also bad at times like this and also when you're acting or in a drama club. I'm sure you're wondering what I'm talking about, yes, I pretended to faint. Why, you may ask, well I really liked Anne and daddy was always complimenting the way she does things since she came. I know I'm just four but I can see that daddy really likes her, but maybe he thinks she has cooties or something because he doesn't want to tell her. Cole also told me that his dad said girls had cooties but I'm not sure I have though.Well, back to how I couldn't pretend, I la
ANNEThe doctor was silent for a while then sighed, it was so silent in the room. I looked around, Kate was here, Cole and Alexis were here and also Violet. We were eager to know what was wrong, I looked at Brian and saw he's pained expression like he knew what was wrong. I really felt bad for him, "Ava has type 1 diabetics, "the doctor finally said and I felt light headed, Violet fainted."Ava has what? " Brian asked looking like he'd kill the doctor any minute from now. "She's just a child, she can't have diabetics. "I went to look at Ava, she was oblivious to this all, she didn't know what we were all shocked about."Is nana going to be okay? "Ava asked me."Yes sweetie, nana is just tired ok?, "they had taken her to a room to try calm her down. Brian still had this shocked expression on his face. I dunno what came over me but I asked him, " Do you have diabeti
BRIANShe gasped, wait did she think I meant that in a bad way? "I mean, you're more than a babysitter to us. We won't want you to go, I don't want you to go, "I told her. She was silent for a while before sighing,"I'm so happy you said that, I also don't want to leave the kids. I love them like they're mine, "she said, I can imagine that beautiful smile that would be placed on her face now."Can't you still stay with us? You're just perfect for the girls, they love you a lot, " 'I love you too', fuck what the hell am I thinking. I don't like her that way, or do I?"I want to but its not really professional, I can only be checking up on the girls once in a while and all. ""Then I don't want a new babysitter, I want you. "Fine I said that, it doesn't totally mean I like her that way right?"Ok,
ANNEThe sun rays woke me with head ache, I tried opening my eyes but they felt too heavy."Good morning, "I heard a tiny voice whisper. This compelled me to open my eyes, and there stood Ava dressed in a dress with a bow. She was holding a glass of water and a plate with some pills in it, "Daddy said you'd need these rain killers. " I laughed so hard I started coughing."Baby, its called pain killers and not rain killers. Thank you baby, "I took the pills and drank the water, then stood up and hugged her. "So have you had breakfast? ""Nope, we've been waiting for you, we made breakfast. ""Awwn baby thank you. "My head was still aching me as I stood up and followed her downstairs. They had set the table and there were different delicacies on the table as well, then I saw Brian looking so sexy in his apron and Alexis looking so cute also in h
BRIANI'm not sure Anne was fine, because she looked like a tomato that had been subdued to much heat and was about to blow up."I.. I.. I have to go, "she said and went outside. I followed her immediately, got into the car and started driving. I understood that she didn't want to talk about it, I just wanted to know if she actually meant it or it was the alcohol talking. She didn't want to talk about it now, so I'd not talk about it, I'll just take her home and act like everything was fine. When we got to her house, she rushed out of the car like there was a ticking time bomb in the car and went to unlock the door. When we got in,"The guest rooms are at the left side of the top floor, you can pick any room, "she said and climbed the stairs. She fled the sitting room, like she had committed a crime and was fleeing the crime scene. I went into the first guest room and
