Good for you

Chapter four

"So you basically slept with a stranger in your boss's bed?" Sarah asks as they both walk into the apartment and take a seat on the couch.

"Well not exactly... but yes," Mariia says while reaching for the tv remote.

Mariia and Sarah have told each other everything that happens to them for the last 15 years of their lives. Mariia couldn't wait for class to end so she could tell Sarah all about her amazing one-night stand that ended with her thinking she may need to get checked even though they used a condom.

"Well, when do you have to be back there?" Sarah asks clearly intrigued by the situation.

"Tonight, Ms. Stewart wants me to start moving my stuff in and getting adjusted to my nanny position since they're starting to get busier already."Mariia can see Sarah's face slowly turn into a frown. "but don't worry, I told her Friday I have to be off so we can still get shit-faced drunk!" Sarah's smile came back and she yells "yay! thank Goodness, I need Friday."

Mariia goes to her room to start packing up some clothes and important things she'll need and some extra things she'll probably never need.

She gives Sarah a kiss on the cheek and starts heading to the Stewarts before it gets dark.

Mariia pulls into the driveway and immediately checks for the unknown car she assumed was jacobs.

He's not here.

That's good. Mariia still has no idea what she'll say or how she'll act when she does see him again. She left him in this driveway where he decided she wasn't worth any extra energy.

Mariia walks to the door and rings the doorbell. Mr Stewart opens it this time, "Mariia! just in time!" he pulls her inside grabbing her bag of stuff. "Angela and I were just about to head to the room you're going to be staying in, now we can just take you with us, " Mr Stewart says walking towards ms stewart.

"Hey sweetie" ms stewart pulls mariia into a hug. "Ella just went down for a nap, lets go to the room you'll be staying in."

"wait, I'm not going to the room I was in last night?" Mariia asked puzzled

"Gosh no, that room was way too small for anyone to be in while living here. Plus we wanted to make sure your room was close enough to Ella's room in case of anything " Mr Stewart says while leading the way up the stairs.

Mariia knows jacob's room is next to ella so the chances of them coming in contact in the hall is very likely. The thought excites her and repulses her at the same time.

Mr Stewart stops at a door right down the hall from ella and jacobs bedroom and opens the door. Mariias mouth dropped. this bedroom was bigger than her and Sarah bedroom combined.

The bedroom had a white and black aesthetic that Mariia loved. Mariia snapped out of her admiration when the front door slammed shut.

"Jacob must be home," Ms Stewart says looking towards the door. "excuse me guys," she says as she walks back downstairs.

"They have a love-hate relationship. But it's more love than hate. it's more like she loves him but hates how he acts and vice versa" Mr Stewart says to Mariia as he brings her stuff in her room. "well I'll let you go ahead and start unpacking. me and angela will be headed out to a charity even in about 2 hours."

It took mariia almost 15 mins to start unpacking because she was looking around the room admiring everything in sight. The bathroom was also in the bedroom and it was also big with a jacuzzi bathtub and a stand-up shower with two sinks right next to each other.

Mariia starts with putting her clothes in drawers and hanging them in the closet, then she started putting her stuff in the shower.

Mariia decides to take a break before checking if ella is awake. She never did call her mom back so she decides to check up on her.

"Hey mom, Are you busy?" mariia says after her mom picks up in 2 rings.

"no baby I'm not busy. how are you? how's the nanny gig been going?" mariia mom says

"It's about the same as babysitting except i get to live in this nice ass house for free" maria and her mom both laugh at that statement.

Mariia and her mom don't see eye to eye on a lot of things but they do have their moments here and there. Mariia chose to live with her dad because he was always her best parent while her mom was more like a best friend.

mariia doesn't like to spend too much time on the phone with her mom because they eventually argue about something. "I have my exams this week so i should really get to studying, i love you"
