Falling For The Nanny

Chapter One

Onika pov

Closing the last box in my room gm so the movers can take it, I look around the room I spent 19 years of my life. My Dad died and my mom and I were moving from Queens to hot ass Houston. I bite my quivering lip already missing my life back here.

"Come on Tanya, our flights in and hour and a half." My mom walked in my room with a sad smile, placing her hand on my shoulder.

"I know baby I miss him too and will miss here. But remember what we said."

"I know momma new start new memories." I gave her a small smile while wiping the lone tear that managed to slip down my cheek. We hugged before she took my hand leading us out of our brown stone and into her burgundy SUV.

We got in the car and I buckled up leaning my head against the window taking one last look at my childhood home, for memory. Whispering a silent goodbye to both my home and my Dad.

Hours later

We just landed in Houston airport. I'm super tired but during the ride to Newark airport and most of my time was spent on FaceTime with my best friend Lauren. Omg I was gonna miss her, although she planned to come down visiting I know it wouldn't be the same. We headed to baggage claim grabbing our bags and things, walking out of the airport to the town cars.

Nika out car is the gold one with the tints." My mom pointed out. Following her direction, I made my way to the car, with the help of the driver our bags was put into the trunk and we got into the back seat. The car pulled off and we were on our way to our new home. I grabbed the Fashion Weekly out the back the seat leaning back in mines. Fashion designer and runway extraordinaire Giselle was on the front cover. I admired her a while before opening the magazine reading various articles and fashion spreads before putting it back looking out the window, while my mom made sure all our things were being moved in the house.

Ride skip

We finally pull up to a lil gated community. Mom put in a code and the gate lifted. I looked over at my mom with a shocked look. Oh you got moneeeeeyy. The two story home was so nice. Momma said fresh start and she meant that shit.

Not gone hold you this house nice as fuck. The driver parked behind our already parked cars. We get out and the driver helped us with the bags. Mom paid him and thanked us before getting back in his tow car backing up and pulling off. The movers were putting the last of the boxes down before my mom passed their boss a check and I proceeded in the house. I looked around the living room and the dining room area and was already in love, I was headed to the kitchen, my second place of residence hearing momma call me.

Nika bring me that Home Depot bag!" I jogged back to our luggage grabbing the big of locks and screwdriver.

Thank you baby." She said as I handed her the bag.

Do you need help?"

Yea you can open the packaging for me while I take apart the knob and lock?"

"Sure mommy." I say with a smile flexing my dimples. I open the packaging and take the knob out. My mom then switches out the knob and commence to taking off the lock and switching it.

"I sure wasn't going to sleep with realtors and mover possibly having the keys to my damn house."

I laughed cause they probably thought we was gone be off some white people shit.

We went to all doors in the house that leases to outside changing all the locks. She gave me the duplicate keys to all the locks and we both decided to starts unpacking in the morning.

Momma ordered McDonald's DoorDash, cause we ain't know no spots that was good out here yet. We ate and separated. I started to get my in suite bathroom to get her and handle my bed before my shower. After showering I slid on an oversized t, climbing in my queen sized bed. I texted Lo telling her we made it and I was going to sleep. And with that I turned off my lamp put my phone on my nightstand and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
