Lesley walked out of the waiting room and took the lift for the ground floor. She hugged her bag in excitement. She couldn't believe she had gotten the job. And to top it all, the job she loves most, Looking after children.
The lift doors opened and she stepped out. She walked past the fountain as she stared at it again.... well she'd see it closely when she resumes work. She walked out of the huge gates and stopped a cab."Crescent's. Fifth avenue." she told the cabman as she got in. She had been given her work schedule by the lady who was calling the names.Hazel had eaten every piece of the pastries and cookies She had brought and made her promise to bring more when she resumes. And she was to start work two days from now... plenty of time to shop for new working clothes. She smiled. Finally she has gotten a job!. Away from boredom and away from her thinking. Good riddance to her past life. She's gotten a new life now and she would live it to the fullest.***********************When she got home, she was tired and thirsty. She drank a full can of water and showered. She dressed up and came out of her apartment. She has gotten a job, the least she could do was celebrate.And a couple of free drinks won't hurt. She took the lift for the second floor and stopped at Stacy's apartment. She rang the bell. Seconds later, the door opened to reveal Stacy in a bum short and top. She smiled on seeing her."Hi." Lesley smiled, this time genuinely."Hi Lesley.... changed your mind now?." she asked with a smirk, opening the door wider. Lesley stepped in"Well.... I figured out that after getting a job as a nanny, a couple of drinks won't hurt." She sat down on a cream coloured couch."Nice apartment" she said taking in the simple but girly looking living room."Thanks Lesley." she walked over to a cabinet and picked a bottle of non alcoholic wine and two glasses. She turned and paused, arching a brow"Woah!... Wait a sec, did you just say as a Nanny?." She drawled. Lesley nodded" To Gary Gaughtier's kid?." Lesley shrugs"Don't know his name yet... kid's name is Hazel" Stacy widened her eyes in excitement"Holy fuck!.... that's Gary's kid!."She gasps, coming over to sit beside Hazel and handing her a glass cup."Does that ring a bell?.". Lesley mused, holding her cup as Stacy poured wine into it."Nope dearie.... it sounds a trumpet actually." Lesley chuckled and took a sip of her wine."Gary Gaughtier is Newyork idol!. He owns over half of the state's companies around." Lesley bats her lashes."Woah!, that's a lot of achievement!" She exclaims truthfully, trying not to let her surprise shlw"Not only that... he's every sane girl fantasy, every bitch die hard crush, they don't mind killing to get in bed with him... excluding me though I've got a boyfriend who's got a good d i c k." She rolled her eyes dramatically earning a laugh from Lesley."Doesn't he have wife or something?" She asked curiously. Stacy scoffed."Oh you mean that bitch called Brie?. She's a first class model. Her father a business tycoon in Carlifornia. He's got billions of cash. Brie left Gary to marry a guy who's also a model. Told Gary she didn't want the kid. Gary was hurt, almost ruined his reputation. He got over it pretty good. Stuck his head into his work and made more fame after she left. Rumour has it that Brie wants Gary back." Stacy was all too excited to dish out the information. Lesley shook her head. Everyone got a skeleton in their cupboard though."So you mean Hazel dosent know her mom?""Nope, she left when Hazel was two and since then she has been brought up by nannies, Her nannies don't last up to a month, kid's a psycho... Good luck to being her nanny. Lesley chuckled again."You now so much Stacy." Lesley mused."Just my kind of person though.... my boyfriend works for the press so I get firsthand information." she said and winked"That's cool." Lesley complimented. Having a friend wasn't bad afterall. Especially one like Stacy.They chatted for long. Stacy making her laugh her lungs out with her stories. She left later in the evening promising Stacy to stop by frequently. She had enjoyed her company a great deal. She got home, and showered. she was full already, Stacy had prepared food for her, so she just made herself a cup of coffee. She put on her nightie and brought out her laptop. She ordered for classy working dresses and shoes. She wanted to look good on her first day at work, first impression they say, matters a lot. After ordering, She closed her laptop and snuggled under the covers and with a huge smile on her face, slept off.***************Lesley sat at her makeup table, applying make up. She was super excited. Why won't she be? After all she was starting work today. She didn't look bad either. She was putting on a black dress, the length stopping at her knees, hugging her hourglass figure. She took her dad's blue eyes and her mom pointed nose and small lips. in fact. Lesley was a diva.She put finishing touches to her make up. She stood up and carried her black purse and small lunch pack containing Hazel's treat, before sliding her feet into her white flat shoes.She locked up and took the lift for the ground floor. She won't be taking her car to work. Putting on her dark sunglasses she stopped a cab and got in. "Greenlands estates"************************Lesley butt was aching from sitting too long. She had arrived an hour ago and was waiting for Gary Gaughtier to discuss her pay with him before she started work. She was in the fourth floor, and Hazel's room was on the third floor so Hazel hadn't known she had arrived. She couldn't stop feasting her eyes on every single piece of furniture in the living room, it reeked of cash, and even the smallest furniture costs a fortune.The fat headed security man at the door had failed to answer her when she asked to see Gary Gaughtier. Bored, she stood up and began to walk around the living room admiring every piece of furniture and estimating how much they would cost. She stopped at a large aquarium taking a large part of the wall and stared at the beautiful golden coloured fishes inside. She rested her palm and forehead on the glass to get a better view of it. She didn't know how long she remained that way, watching the the fishes swim."Are you done staring or you'd like to remain there forever." Lesley jerked at the voice, a deep masculine voice and she twirled sharply. A soft gasp escaped her mouth and a thousand butterflies somersaulted in her tummy as she stared at the demi god seated on a couch......No!, this can't possibly be a human. He was more like a demigod..... if not more than that."Hi, Mr Gauthier." She wanted her voice to come out well, but it came out more like a squeak. Get a hold of yourself Lesley!. she groaned internally."Please come over miss Perkins." Came his soft reply. Lesley felt weak at the knees as she walked to where he was. She took a sit opposite him, and unwillingly found herself drooling.His face was flawless, chisseled chin, perfectly arched brows and his lips set in a hard line, a non smiling one. His hair looking so soft she wanted to run her hands through it. Those abs visible through the light shirt he wore were more than normal ones."It's a relief that finally Hazel has found someone she likes, and for the first time she didn't gripe about the new nanny." Gary started as he watched her.Lesley watched him move his lips as he spoke, such flawless American accent!. How could one be this perfect?.."uh... umm..... I'm elated she accepted me
I knead the dough as Hazel stood on a small stool, mixing eggs in a bowl. Hazel won't stop chattering, boasting of how she's gonna be a better cook than me when she's all grown up. I sigh and let her chatter, I can do nothing to stop her.It's been two long weeks since I started working for the Gauthiers. Long enough to know almost everything about the mansion, the maids, the security men and Hazel. The only person I've not been given the slightest chance to know is Gary Gauthier, the demi god in form of human. Since Hazel's room occupies a floor it's almost impossible that I meet him.Hazel always has a thousand things to do and it keeps me in her apartment all the time. As for Gary, I subconsciously wish I don't have physical contact with him. The few times I did, all I ever do is stutter and act nervous around him. Everything about him is so freaking intimidating. From his killer looks to his scrutinizing gaze.Hazel Is gradually becoming a part of my routine, so smart and lovable
BRIE'S POVI bang my head in frustration against the headrest as the car drives out of the mansion."Take me to a club" I bark at the driver. Alright I know I fucked up big timez but that was so fuckin embarrassing!. Gary kissing that dirty looking bitch in my presence. I don't seem to know her, she definitely ain't a celebrity, her clothes looks so cheap. I pressed a button on the armrest as it revealed a cabinet full of drinks. What I need now is lots of drinks, music and a good d i c k at the club. For f u c k sake I divorced Brian because I thought Gary had no one!. I'm certain I can get him back, Gary had never been able to resist me, and so long as I'm Brie, he'd never be.LESLEY PERKINS' POVStacy had literally freaked out when I told her of the kiss with Gary. I mean who wouldn't?, It's Gary Gauthier we're talking about."Jeez.... how did it feel like Lesley.... does his lips taste of dollars?. She mused and I roll my eyes dramatically"For f u c k sake Stacy he did it not b
My pulse quickened and heat travelled down my body. His lips brushes my earlobe softly and I suck in my breath sharply. Gary pulls away, leaving me heated up, before sitting between I and Hazel. I clench and unclench my fist so I can stop the erratic way my heart beats. Why the heck is he flirting with me!. I've gotta tell him he should stop, I've barely lasted a month here and I sincerely don't want any scandal."Hey Dad!". Hazel squeaks in excitement as she sit up, its obvious she loves her dad. If only he could pay more attention to her."How you Hazel." He pecks her on the cheek."I'm okay Dad, what you doing here?." She asks as she pours herself a cup of milk."I live here." He says and roll his eyes at her. Hazel grins."No Dad I meant here in the garden. I can't remember the last time I saw you here dad, it's cos of Lesley right?." She smirks and folds her arm. My cheeks heat up cos am blushing.Gary chuckles and reaches for the plate of pancakes. He spreads apple syrup o
LESLEY PERKINS' POVI'm on my third cup of coffee and Stacy on her fourth. I'm repeating the same thing over and over again."Wait..... I don't really understand Lesley..... Gary Gauthier asked you out on a date?" She blurts. I huff and wrap my fingers around the mug."No Stacy, he asked me to accompany him to an anniversary because his mom insists he brings a girl along.""What's the difference... last time I checked when a guy asks you out it's called a date Lesley. He officially asked you out cos he's into you.""Fuck stacy..... he's not!.""He is sweetie.... and trust me when I say.... something good is gonna come out of that date. Now you need to shop for more sexy dresses, you'd need to go to the spa...""Stacy!, enough of me already... how is Jeffrey?." I ask dismissively. Jeffrey Is stacy's boyfriend. The last thing I wanted right now is she reminding me of him .. when all I wanted to do was forget him. But it just seemed impossible. His cute face, nice abs, soft looking hai
LESLEY PERKINS' POVMy heartbeat is erratic and I suck in my breath. Gary notices and he pulls away to stare at me."What's wrong?." He voiced out immediately. I blink away what seemed like tears."You scared I'm gonna hurt you huh?" He smirks and I shut my eyes and nod. Oh how I wish it were that. I wish it was that simple. He chuckles and palm my cheeks"I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm sorry I'm damn attracted to you, ever since you walked into my territory I've always wanted to know how your lips would taste like, how your velvet skin would feel like." He paused as his hands went up to cup the male of my neck. Shivers coarsed down my spine, more from his words than his touch. Deep inside my subconscious screamed to get away from this man in front of me, but I couldn't. Not with the way he stared so intensely at me, not with the way he kissed me perfectly. Though my heart was thudding in fear, I shut out whatever demons were threatening to take over my sanity and forced a smile.I drap
GARY GAUTHIER'S POVI hugged her figure as the driver drove out wildly to the nearest hospital. I can't seem to comprehend what just happened.I look down at her sleeping figure and am worried, fucking worried. What the fuck just happened?.Minutes ago I was kissing her very delicate skin, she was just fine. Glowing, looking damn beautiful and then we pulled up at a very expensive club, the most expensive in Atlanta and she stares at the building and goes into shock.Its been so long I feel helpless, Even when I and Brie got divorced, I hadn't felt helpless.But now I couldn't help feeling helpless. She looks so pale my heart longed to protect her.I don't know the effect she has on me. I've known her for over a month but it seems like forever.Throughout the short ride to the hospital, I hug her frame figure, kiss and ruffle her hair and listen to her shallow breathing. Minutes later he pulls up at the hospital and goes out swiftly.The door opens and I rush out heading for th
LESLEY PERKINS' POV"Lesley!."Gary calls me and his voice sounds distant. I tried to regain my composure. I feel Gary wrap his arm around me. That seems to help and I slowly began to gain consciousness"Brunnie.... are you alright!?" Now I flutter my eyes open to look at Gary's concerned one. I tuck my hair behind my ears and nod."Yeah, sure I was just dozing off." I looked around the table to see their eyes on me."you sure about that?, c'mon let's get back to the suite" He says trying to help me up. I didn't even realize my glass cup isn't with me again."No Gary, I'm okay. Do excuse me I wanna visit the ladies". Gary looks up at me as I stand. He didn't look convinced, so I peck his cheeks and whisper quickly."I'm fine Gary ... I'd be back before you say jack." I smile and grab my pearl purse, walking from the table. I find my way to the ladies and enter an empty one. I close the door and lean against it.Oh God!, what's happening to me! Why I'm I acting so jittery!. I badly
