My Knightly Tale

CHAPTER 3

"Are you okay?". The man's voice is heard again!

"NO!". I screamed when there was a hand outstretched on me. I protected my head with a brown folder with a job application letter.

I'm so scared right now. I don't want to be kidnapped and sold or even be a hostest! I'm not that crazy or desperate!

"Hey, calm down!". The man said again. I kept yelling 'no'. An old man walking around relieved me. I have to get help!

"Please help me, sir!". I yelled, made the old man stop in front of the fence of the house. Instead of helping me, he looked at me in confusion. Where the man's concern is. Confused.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Grant." The man next to me said, the old man smiled and looked at me, pity.

Quiet for a while then i ventured to see this man next to me. There was an amazingly handsome man standing next to me, staring at me with his two thick and linked eyebrows.

"C-chris pine...?" I stuttered, barked, or whatever it was that could reveal that I was so shocked, amazed, astonished, and blushing. 

That 'very' handsome man was also confused for a while, then ended up crouching in front of me staring at me in sympathy. From here I saw very clearly his clear eyes and his shady gaze.

"Are you sure, you're okay?". Ask the man to get me back into the real world. Oh, my God, I must have looked so stupid.

"What happened exactly?". Ask the man again friendly." Who do you want to meet?". 

That question made me realize what the reason I'm going here. But before I answered the question, the Chris Pine said

"I know, would you like to see Nathan? That kid really ugh..". The question. I don't understand the question, but maybe it's because I'm still exposed to the magic of his handsome face.

"Nathan, who is it?". I'm confused myself. I'm coming here to apply for a job as a babysitter, why is there Nathan?.

Chris Pine's hand came out again. I looked at the stocky-looking hand, then greeted him. He helped me stand up and nailed me into the house.

As soon as I set foot in his house, an unpleasant smell greeted me. Oh, my God, this stinks!

The living room is like a garbage shelter. Many packs of snacks everywhere, bottles and drinks are scattered here. Who can stand living in a house like this, even Chris Pine's charm fades when I see him get used to it.

"Please sit down". Chris Pine said.

Where am i going to sit? Some kind of couch in the living room is full of magazines, T-shirts, used milk boxes, and others I can't explain here. But because this is Chris Pine, I'm shifting a few stacks of magazines to sit down.

I saw him clean up some garbage on the floor, not throw away but just slide! While I'm having fun looking his face. He has a pair of round eyes with long, curled eyelashes. The eyebrows are thick and neat. His nose was hollow, and his lips were small. He's very handsome.

I'm guessing he's about 26 years old. And judging by his suit and tie and his house that looks like this, I think he's an insurance salesman.

"Where do you know Nathan?". His question made me realize from my fantasize.

"Who the hell is Nathan?". I asked back. But that Chris Pine stared at me in disbelief.

"Are you crazy because of him?". Ask him with pity. Then he suddenly screamed and it shocked me while glaring at him."Nathan!!".

"JONATHAN KNIGHT!!". Say Chris Pine again. 

Another cool man comes  from the middle room. His face looks like this guy in front of me, just a little dull. His long hair is tied, leaving several strands on the sides of his face and neck.

Cool and pretty good looking, but the thing is, I don't know this guy!

"What?" Ask the long-haired man. "I'm just playing Minecraft"

"Oh my God, did you forget about your girlfriend?". Accuse Chris Pine, make me glare and I see Nathan doing the same thing. I stood up feeling annoyed.

"Who's his girlfriend?!". My voice sounds loud 

" I don't even know who she is !!!". Nathan said, made me nod agree.

Chris Pine looked at us confused. "So, You're not here to meet Nathan?". Ask Chris Pine to me.

"No, I just want to apply for a job here." Obviously he was looking at me like I was crazy.

Silence felt for a while. I was thinking it must be Nathan who got my call this morning and Chris Pine is definitely his older brother.

 "Oh..!" exclaimed Chris Pine as he clapped, as if reminded of something. "I did put up the job but it was months ago. I wonder why no one has come until now".

I'm not surprised or 'very' surprised. Many have been comes but return after seeing the sighting of this house. And I almost did.

"By the way, my name is Gale Knight". He said while reaching out. Immediately my hands welcomed him with pleasure, of course.

So, his name is Gale. No less cool with Chris pine or anything else.

"Annella Samwell". I said

"So, Annella. I'm very helpful if you want to work here". Gale said.

"I was accepted?". I said I couldn't believe it.

"One second, I'll take something first,". Gale said again, while I was trying to contain the whiny.

Not long, Gale appears with a map. He sat back down, then handed me the map.

"This is your contract for this job". The answer is, it makes me bark. It's just babysitters why have to use work contracts.

"I'm sorry maybe because I work at the Law Firm". Gale apparently caught a confused look on my face. "But it guarantees your rights, really".

I tried to read the contract file, but it got dizzy in the first second." Section three, is this serious?".

Yes, it says if the monthly salary can be paid in cash in advance. "Okay". Gale replied with a charming smile.

"I agree". I said it no need time to think. 

"All right. For an introduction, wait a minute. Eli! Elio Knight!!".

How could a baby be called? I think Nathan will take him.

Suddenly a little boy with smudged cheeks black markers appeared carrying a toy gun. As soon as he saw me, he immediately got down and shouted, "CRIMINALS!!!" while pointing his rifle at me and shoot me with water.

I've tried to avoid but still. Now, my face and clothes are soaking wet.

"I'm sorry, Annella! I'm sorry for my brother, he's naughty". Gale said

Younger brother? YOUNGER BROTHER? Is this his brother?? I thought he said he had a baby brother, not a punk like this!.

"So this is the baby...". I said with upset while drying my face with my own handkerchief.
