Chapter 5

" Wow." I mutter, looking around the house that I am currently in.

It's a double story house that has such a nice homey vibe to it. I was dressed down today and didn't go with no office look, but with a cute floral dress, navy blue blazer and nice sandals that I believed went well with the whole outfit. I made sure to put little make-up today and did my usual ponytail.

I only ever left my hair down at home and had gotten used to tying it up, when going to work or just out.

" Right this way mam." The caretaker, who had opened the door for me says, leading me to the living room.

I am offered some juice while I wait for the parent, to meet me. Apparently I would be interviewed by the father instead of both parents. I didn't mind that and was just ready to meet them, more so the cutie pie, who I might look after for some time.

" Miss Grey, sorry for keeping you waiting." A voice says behind me.

I quickly put down the glass before rising to my feet and turning around to face the person.

I find myself staring at the man. There's something about his looks that seem familiar.

" Miss Grey?" I snap out of it, quickly holding out my hand.

I don't want to mess up this interview.

" Yes, hello."

" Hi, I'm Colton Davies, the father."

Davies?

Where have I heard that name before?

I offer a kind smile, though I'm feeling slightly weird now. I don't know what it is that has made me feel this way.

" Please, take a seat." He gestures behind me and I nod, sitting down.

" Um here's my CV."  I dig out my CV from my bag and hand it over to him.

" Oh actually you came in high recommendation." He says, going through it.

" I did?" I ask in surprise.

" Yes, infact the person who did couldn't stop singing your praises." He says, literally placing my CV aside and giving me his attention.

" Um I don't know who that person is but thanks, I guess." I say confusedly.

He chuckles and his smile, oh gosh, makes him even more goodlooking.

Wait, did I mention that this man is handsome?....Well he is, with his light blue eyes, tanned skin, dimples that pop up when he smiles and his dirty blonde hair. He's tall too, so that's an added bonus.

Whoever his daughter is, she must take after him.

" I know that you might not have expected to hear me say this, but when Cicily told me about this lady who - "

" I'm sorry, did you say Cicily?"

" Yes, that's what I said. You were locked in the elevator with her, I'm -"

" You're the man from yesterday, Ava's father?"

" Yes, I never got the chance - uh, are you okay Miss Grey?"

I've long stood up on my feet now, trying to make sense of why I'm not feeling so good right now. Something isn't right here - infact, something smells fishy now.

" Sky - Sky!!" I hear a little voice call out.

My head snaps to where that voice is coming from and that's when my heart stops. Ava is in the arms of Mr Cullen and he looks mighty proud, walking towards us.

Everything makes sense now, it's all because of him.

" Sky -Sky!!" I snap out of it, looking down at my feet where Ava has her arms wrapped around my legs.

When did she get here so fast?

I see her pull herself up onto her feet and looking up with a big smile.

Despite how upset I am, looking at her makes me smile. I lean down to pick her up and her immediate reaction of wrapping her arms around my neck, surely takes me by surprise.

" Hi Ava, how are you mmm?" I say to her, kissing her temple.

She leans back to look at me and her beautiful grey eyes capture my heart. It's so weird but nice that we have the same colour eyes.

" Fine....Lats!" She says, pointing up to the ceiling at the lights.

I chuckle, seeing that she still remembers the thing I did with my phone. I basically shook my phone and did like a mini disco motion with some music playing.

She surely enjoyed that alot.

" Shhh... That's our little secret." I whisper, with a finger on my mouth.

" Shhh." She copies what I'm doing and I giggle, seeing her cute big eyes widen.

I kiss her chubby cheeks before placing her down.

" Mr Davies -"

" You're hired!" He immediately says, cutting me off.

Feeling eyes on me, I turn to Mr Cullen, who stands watching me with a smug look on his face, hands all tucked in.

Something about the way he is looking at me now rubs me the wrong way, that's why my tongue releases an answer with my eyes trained on him.

" No."

" What?"

I turn to Mr Davies, who makes me feel guilty by the confused look on his face. I feel bad that I can't accept this job because I would love more then anything, to be Ava's nanny. I'm so fond of her but I can't be associated with that man.

" I'm sorry Mr Davies but I can't accept this job. Thank you so much for your time. " I say, grabbing my bag and CV.

" Wait is there a problem or -"

" It's not you or Ava, Mr Davies. It's me, I think that Ava will be better off with someone of experience and attention. Thank you again for the opportunity and I'm sorry. " I crouch down to Ava's level. " Bye Ava."

My heart jumps when Ava touches my arm. " No Sky - Sky." She shakes her head, a small frown appearing on her forehead.

" I'll see you again okay." I kiss the top of her head before saying goodbye to Mr Davies, ignoring Mr Cullen and pretty much rushing out of there.

I can't believe that man. He's literally everywhere now when all I want is to never see him again. He's rich and influential, I'm pretty sure that he had a hand on the happenings of today.

I wonder what happened to Cicily?

I gasp in surprise when I feel my arm grabbed and I'm jerked around.

" You must really be something else you know that?" He says, sounding upset.

" Let go of my arm please Mr Cullen." I say in levelled tone.

" I don't know whether you are stupid or naive or a bit of both, you just got offered a job and now -"

" Let go of me, you don't have a right to do this to me again !" I wiggle my arm, trying to pull away.

I yelp in surprise when he lets go of me, roughly might I add, I lose my footing and fall to the ground. My head snaps up to him and my heart beats hard against my chest.

This is like 2 years ago all over again.

I see his own eyes have widened a stretch, due to what just happened. I see him looking me over and I don't know why the deep frown that takes over starts making me nervous.

Maybe it's because I can see wheels turning in his head.

No, he can't remember who I am.

No God please no.
