Emerson's POV

I pulled up outside the school fence and cut the engine.

It was the first time I had done this. Waited for her. Deliberately, on purpose, without pretending it was something else. I told myself it was practical — she needed a ride, I was going the same direction, it made sense. I told myself that right up until I saw Sawyer's car pull out of the car park with Brooklyn in the passenger seat, not even glancing in my direction as they drove past.

She didn't see me.

Or she did and cho

  • Nanny To My highschool Nemesis    Chapter 31

    Brooklyn's POVPatrick had been on his way out the door that morning when I caught him."I wanted to ask if I could visit my mother this weekend." I kept it simple and direct because that was the only language Patrick Weston responded to. "I'd be back Saturday night. Before Daisy's bedtime."He paused with his travel bag over one shoulder and looked at me the way he looked at most things — like he was running a quick calculation behind his eyes."It's the weekend," he said slowly."I know. I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important."Another pause. Longer. He glanced toward the stairs briefly and then back at me."Saturday night," he said. "Not Sunday. Not late Saturday. Saturday night, in time for Daisy.""Absolutely."He picked up his keys. "Make sure she eats properly while I'm gone." He was already moving toward the door. "And Brooklyn — " he paused without turning around — "be back when you said you'll be back.""I will."The door closed behind him.I let out a slow breath and went up

    Emerson's POVI pulled up outside the school fence and cut the engine.It was the first time I had done this. Waited for her. Deliberately, on purpose, without pretending it was something else. I told myself it was practical — she needed a ride, I was going the same direction, it made sense. I told myself that right up until I saw Sawyer's car pull out of the car park with Brooklyn in the passenger seat, not even glancing in my direction as they drove past.She didn't see me.Or she did and chose not to.I sat there for a second after their car disappeared around the corner. Then I started the engine and drove home.---The house was quiet when I got in.Too quiet.I dropped my bag at the foot of the stairs and stood in the hallway listening. No sound from the kitchen. No movement upstairs. No running water, no pencil scratching across a workbook, none of the small sounds that had become background noise in this house over the last few weeks without me noticing when that happened.I w

  • Nanny To My highschool Nemesis    Chapter 29

    Brooklyn's POVI ran.Not elegantly. Not quietly. I turned on my heel the second Emerson's chest met my shoulder and I bolted down that hallway like the floor was on fire. Past the kitchen, up the stairs, second door on the left, inside and door shut behind me before I had taken three full breaths.I stood with my back against the door and listened.No footsteps following me. No fist against the wood. Nothing.Just the house settling quietly around me and the sound of my own heartbeat working too hard.I stayed like that for a full minute before I moved.---I did not go near him for the rest of the evening.I timed everything. I listened for him before leaving my room. I took the long way to the kitchen, waited until I heard his door close before going to check on Daisy, ate my dinner quickly and was back upstairs before he came down. I was so careful about it that Daisy gave me a look at one point that said she had noticed something was different, even if she couldn't name what.I s

  • Nanny To My highschool Nemesis    Chapter 28

    Brooklyn's POV"I'll take her."I moved toward Emerson and reached for Daisy at the same moment Patrick's voice settled into the silence downstairs like a full stop.Emerson's arm tightened around his sister. His free hand came up and pushed mine away — firm, quiet, final.He stood up from the step without a word, Daisy still completely out against his chest, her head lolling softly against his shoulder. He stepped past me and walked down the hallway to her bedroom door.I followed.He pushed Daisy's door open with his foot and carried her in. I stayed in the doorway and watched him cross to her bed, lower himself onto the edge of it, and ease her down against the pillow with a slowness that had nothing rushed in it. He pulled the blanket up around her shoulders. Tucked it at the side. Checked her face once to make sure she hadn't stirred.She hadn't. She slept through all of it.He straightened up.I thought he was heading for the door.His hand shot out and grabbed my wrist — again

  • Nanny To My highschool Nemesis    Chapter 27

    Brooklyn's POV"What is going on between you and Jordan?"I looked down at his hand still wrapped around my wrist. Then up at his face."Let go of me first."He did. But he didn't look away."Answer the question," he said."Why do you care?""Brooklyn.""No, genuinely." I kept my voice low so as not to wake Daisy still sleeping against his side. "Why does it matter to you what is or isn't going on between me and Jordan? What does that have to do with anything?"His jaw tightened. "It has to do with our arrangement.""Our arrangement says nothing about Jordan." I crossed my arms. "Try again.""You're living in my house.""As your nanny. Which you reminded me of very clearly about ten minutes ago." I tilted my head. "So which is it? Am I just the nanny who needs to remember her place, or am I someone whose personal life you get to question?"He said nothing."That's what I thought." I turned to leave."I heard he hugged you."I stopped.I turned back around slowly. "Who told you that?"

  • Nanny To My highschool Nemesis    Chapter 2

    Brooklyn's POV**"Jordan," I repeated slowly. "You drove past me and left me standing at the gate — because of Jordan?""Answer the question.""No." I crossed my arms. "You first. Explain what you did.""There's nothing to explain." His voice was flat. "I'm not your driver, Brooklyn. I never agreed to be. You want a ride home, call a taxi.""We have an arrangement — ""Our arrangement is about this house and about school. It does not include me waiting outside gates for you." He held my gaze without flinching. "And don't forget your place. You work here. You're the nanny. That's all this is."The words landed exactly the way he intended them to.I opened my mouth."Brooklyn?"We both turned.Daisy was standing at the top of the stairs in her socks, school bag still on her back, looking between the two of us with careful eyes. She had come in so quietly neither of us had heard her.Everything about Emerson changed in less than a second.The tension in his jaw dissolved. His arms droppe

    Brooklyn's pov "Time to feast."I heard Emerson say — cleats still on, grass-stained from soccer practice, heading straight for the kitchen like the fridge owed him something.I stayed on the couch and waited.The silence that followed was deeply satisfying."What the — " A pause. Then louder. "Why

    Brooklyn's pov "I'm really sorry, Mr. Weston. I can't work for you."The words came out before I could stop them. Patrick turned from the hallway and looked at me slowly, the way someone does when they're deciding how serious you are."Brooklyn." His voice was calm. "You are contracted through th

    Brooklyn's pov "Move!"Emerson shoved past me before I could even process what was happening. He threw himself over Daisy and me, arms spread wide, taking the full weight of the branch across his back.The crack was loud. Then silence.I scrambled to my feet, heart hammering. "Emerson — ""I'm fin

    Brooklyn's pov"Teacher f***er."I heard it the second I walked through the doors of Westfield Academy. Nobody said it to my face. They never did. Just loud enough for me to catch it, quiet enough for them to deny it.I kept walking.Two weeks. That's how long this rumour had been following me arou
