I was in my peaceful sleep when suddenly I heard my phone buzzing non stop. I was really annoyed by it because the sun isn't up yet. I am personally not used to waking up at this time AT ALL. I woke up from my beauty sleep that has been ruined by my alarm coming from the phone signaling me to wake up. I closed the alarm and saw the time.. IT WAS FUCKING 5 AM. For a second there I forgot that I had set my alarm at 5 am since I take so long to get ready and Antonio's house is far. I got out of bed groaning, made my bed, used the bathroom, changed my clothes, and went downstairs. While I made my way to the kitchen I heard a gasping sound from behind me that scared the living shit out of me.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" I said while turning around to the noise but only to see it's my mom.. ugh of course it's mom Anna how dumb can you be!?
"Language Annalise." My mom said sternly as I nodded.
"First of all, good morning sunshine! Second of all, WHAT ARE YOU WEARING!?" Mom exclaimed while looking at me worried.
"No one wears sweatpants and a sweater for meeting their boss for the first time ever!" She said.
"Mom!! Antonio isn't my boss! He is just the father of the boy I'm going to babysit.. Plus don't you think you're exaggerating a little bit? I mean come on I'm not going to sign up for a company.. I'm just going to babysit a three years old boy who is said to be a pain in the ass." I scoffed as my mom sighed.
"Well, if you say so.. breakfast is ready by the way.. it's only 6:20 am so you'll have to ea-." She said when I suddenly yelled,
"MOM! I HAVE TO GO NOW!"
She looked at me shocked of my sudden reaction while I stormed off the house. I was running as fast as possible to the bus stop.. if I'm not wrong Antonio told me he'll be off at 7 am. And his house is 30 minutes away from mine.. WHICH MEANS I'LL BE THERE BY 6:50 AM! HOW CAN WE TALK ABOUT ALESSANDRO IN JUST 10 MINUTES!? Just as I was thinking a taxi driver pulled up to me and said,
"The bus won't come until 6:40.. Would you like a ride ma'am?" I didn't hesitate to open the door and enter his car as roughly as it possibly could be.
"GOLEBORE STREET NUMBER 465 LEFT SIR, NOW! AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!" I yelled at him looking like I'll cry. Poor man was shocked but he let it pass and drove fast just to get me there faster. 10 minutes into the ride I get a message from Antonio.
Antoni: "Good morning Ms. Annalise,
I hope you're doing good. May I please get your confirmation on whether you'll come or not? As you'll have to be here before 7 am and it's currently 6:40 am."
I asked the driver how much time we'll need to reach there and to my luck he said 10 minutes. I texted Antonio back informing him that I'll be there in 10 minutes. I closed the phone, lifted my head up, and sighed. Roughly 10 minutes later, we finally reached their house.. it was not a house actually it was rather a mansion. It was so big and looked like the ones I usually see on Pinterest that belong to the I mafias. I thanked the driver and gave him his money. As I left the car I stepped forward to the gate and rang the bell. Suddenly security guards came up to me and asked me who I am. After I gave them some of my information they let me in. As I walked past the gate the place was majestic. It was a big garden and between the grass was a path which lead to the main door that gets you into the house. I was walking while looking around, falling in love with the place. Once I reached the main door I rang the bell and in just a few seconds a tall fit handsome man came up to me with his black hair, perfect tan, perfect jawline, perfect arms, perfect dark eyes, and perfect everything. I looked at him stunned.. is it Antonio or is it one of his brothers or sons? He looked roughly 29.
"Welcome, Annalise." He said blankly staring at me.
"Oh, hey, hi!" I replied snapping back to reality.
"Please, come inside, I'll have to leave in 5 minutes. Let me talk to you about my son, Ales." He demanded.
As he lead me inside the house I couldn't help but fall in love even more with the place. We sat in a very fancy and modern living room. Antonio tried to be as fast as possible about everything as he was in a rush. Just as he was about to leave he suddenly yelled,
"ALESSANDRO, BUDDY, COME HERE."
Suddenly I saw a small boy coming down the stairs with his two tiny legs. Just as he saw his father he ran to him a gave him a hug. Antonio hugged Alessandro back and asked him to behave and that he'll be home tonight. As Antonio was ready to leave Alessandro began crying, so I carried him and looked at Antonio, he was standing by the door frame staring at his son. Although Antonio seems extremely cold (he hasn't smiled even once with me) it's so clear that his love for Alessandro is big. I looked at Antonio who looked worried about his crying son who is now between my hands and said,
"Don't worry Mr.Antonio, I promise you I'll take good care of him." I smile slightly.
Just when I said that he let out a small sigh and left. Oh what a long day it will be..
