Your kids don't like me

Zoey and Stacy returned home at the same time. The both greeted each other and walked in.

The aroma from inside was a nice one,  someone was cooking in the kitchen and the aroma was nice.

Zoey quickly dropped her bag on the couch and quickly hurried to the kitchen. She was really hungry.

"Dawn, what a nice aroma." That's the first thing Zoey said when she entered the kitchen.

"Glutton, you should at least greet." Dawn replied as she covered the meal. The meal was ready, already.

"Dawn, good day." Stacy said when she walked into the kitchen.

"Good day, Stacy." Dawn smiled, she looked at Zoey. "Exactly what you're supposed to do, greet."

"Whatever. Is the food not ready yet? I'm really hungry. "

" Didn't you eat at school or what. "

" I did but it wasn't much."

They all walked to the dinning room and sat down, Dawn served them all.

" Dawn, what's up with your new job?"

"Fine. I was asked to come back for an interview tomorrow. "

" Wow, I'm happy for you. "

" What about you, Stacy?"

" I'll be going back tomorrow, along with my luggages. "

" Wait, are you gonna be staying there?"

"Yes. The kids I'm babysitting are little so I'll have to wake up early and get them ready for school. I'm more like the kids nanny."

" Wow. What about the kids mum, can't she do all this for her kids?" Zoey finally spoke

" Exactly the point. The kids father said I shouldn't talk about his wife."

" Maybe she's dead."

" Zoey shh. Just keep quiet let's eat."

The all kept quiet and eat peacefully.

"Any news?" Mabel asked the young man who was standing in front of her.

"Not really miss." The young man replied.

Mabel walked to the couch which was in her  office. She sat down and crossed her legs.

"You don't accept me to take that as an answer."

"Ma'am...one of the security guards reported that he saw a lady walking to the house."

Mabel quickly brought down her legs.

" A young lady, who is she?"

" He said he had no idea of who the lady was."

" Tell him to find out whosoever the lady is." She stood up. " Let me know immediately."

" Yes ma'am."

" You may go now."

The young guy made his way out of Mabel's office.

**********************************

Stacy stepped out of the cab and paid the driver. The driver helped her with her little luggage.

"Thank you." She said to the driver

"You are welcome." He entered his car and drove away.

Stacy looked at the building and sighed. She was about to the ring the gate bell when a security guard opened the door. "Good day, Miss." He smiled and helped her with some of her things. "Please come with me."

She smiled and followed him. Three maidens were seen doing some cleaning outside. One among them walked to Stacy and the security guard.

"Good day, Miss." She collected Stacy's luggage from the security guard and he went back to his duty post.

"I'm Ulanda." She said to Stacy.

Stacy looked at her. "I'm Stacy."

"Okay Stacy, just follow me. I'll show you your room."

"Okay, thanks."

They both walked in. The sitting room was perfectly arranged.

"Come, I'll show you room."

"What about Sir Skyler?."

"He took his kids out, but they will be back in a few."

Ulanda and Stacy both walked upstairs.  They stopped in front of a back door. Ulanda opened it.

"Please come in."

Stacy was kinda confused but she decided to come in. The room was so huge, fully painted in white paint. The arts on the each corner of the walls were really beautiful.

Ulanda dropped Stacy's luggage and said. "This is your room, Stacy."

Stacy was shocked. To her it's Paradise, she has never seen nor has she entered such a room before.

"You..u you mean this is my room, alone."

Ulanda looked at Stacy and a smiled. "Yes, you alone."

Stacy looked at the whole room once more. "Wow."

"I'll see you later." Ulanda Said and a walked out of the room.

Stacy picked her luggage and kept it in a right place. She dropped her phone and side bag on the bed. Her hands were on her waist as she looked at the whole room again, she sighed. "I'll just stroll around." She picked her phone and made her way out of the room.

Stacy went downstairs. She heard some noise coming from one corner of the rooms downstairs so she decided to go there. It's the kitchen, the door was opened so she entered.

A woman in her 70's was in the kitchen, she was washing some plates. Stacy thought it was Skyler's mum, so she decided to help in washing the plates.

"Ma'am, may I help?" She wanted taking the plate from the woman's hand but the woman didn't give it to her. "No no dear, Thank you. I'll do it myself. The plates aren't much."

"Are you sure you don't need help."

The woman smiled and looked at Stacy. "What's your name?"

"Stacy, Ma'am." Stacy responded. "Ohh, the new babysitter?"

"Yes, i am."

"Well, I'm Lawrentta, call me Lawrentta."

"You're Sir Skyler's mum right?"

"Nope, I'm not. I'm also a worker like you."

"A worker?" Stacy was surprised.

"Yes. My work is to give Skylar some reasonable advice. I've been his babysitter since from his childhood. So he decided to bring me to his home, because to him, I'm his mother."

"Wow, so you...."

"Stacy." Ulanda called as she entered the kitchen. "There you are, I've been looking for you."

"Me, what for?"

"The boss is back, his kids are also here and he wants to see you."

"Alright then. Were is he now?"

"The sitting room."

Stacy smiled at Ulanda. She quietly walked out of the kitchen.

Skyler and kids were in the sitting room, watching a movie.

"Dad, i don't wanna watch this one. Aren't there cartoons please?" The female twin complained.

"Alexa, please allow us. We don't watch cartoons." The male twin replied.

The 5 years old twins began to argue.

Stacy smiled as she saw how cute the little twins were, she hated the facts that they were arguing and their father wasn't saying anything about it. They didn't even see her coming

"What type of cartoons do you watch, i can download it on the phone for you to watch." Stacy said.

Their eyes went to Stacy. The twins looked at their father.

"Stacy." Skyler called.

"Yes. Good day sir." She came closer to them.

"Dad, who the hell is she?" Alex asked.

"Your new babysitter."

On hearing that, the twins quickly stood up.

"Hey dad," Alexa said. "What is wrong with you. But we told you we don't need a babysitter. Why don't you seem to get."

"Hey kids. She's different, you'll like her."

"We already hate her." Alex said. "Look whoever you are, you better go back to where you came from. We're not kids anymore, we don't need a babysitter."

"Let's go Alex." The twins held each other hands and walked away.

Stacy was shocked. She looked at Skyler whose head was down and his hand  on his forehead.

Skyler raised his head up. "Look, I'm really sorry, i.."

"No, no, it's fine. I'll just leave."

Skyler stood up on hearing that. "Leave, to where, and why?"

"Your kids don't like me."

"C'mon Stacy, giving up on the first day. They just said it. I promise, my kids don't mean what they said, there are just angry because of what happened earlier on, but i promise to speak to them. Okay?"

Stacy nodded. "O..kay."

Alex and Alexa went to their room, picked up and phone and dialed their aunt's phone number. They were happy we she answered the call.

Alex: Aunt Mabel

Mabel: hey, how are you all doing?

Twins: Not fine, at all

Mabel: Hey, what's wrong with my sweeties

Alexa: Can you believe Dad brought another babysitter

Mabel: wait, wtf. Are you serious

Alex: Yes aunt. Right now as we speak to you, she's in the house.

Mabel: You know what, this isn't a phone issue. I'll come to the house tomorrow.

Alexa: Don't you think tomorrow is kinda far, why not come today

Mabel: Darling, I'm busy with work, i promise to come tomorrow, first thing in the morning. Okay.

Alex: Fine since you said so. Till we see you then.

Mabel: Yes, sweets. Bye..i love you
