Evie's P.O.V*

"This one pays 22 dollars an hour you should try this one" Ava recommends showing me her phone.

"Thats alot of money Ava" i bit my nails looking at her. Why would a man be offering so much money? Maybe he is in need of a baby sister asap?

"Come on evie. Your 17 you need the extra money now that mom is making you pay alot of crap" she tried convincing me.

"Fine. Ill message him" i gave in. She then tried leaving "where are you going?" I asked standing up.

"Uh. Me and justin are going to get food" she sarcastically smiled. Justin stood behind her giving me a sarcastic wave aswell.

"Can i go?" I smiled grabbing my wallet.

"No evie stay here. We dont want you coming with us" Ava said before slamming my room door close.

I put my wallet down.

Meanwhile i texted that guy.

He responded pretty quickly.

Text convo*

Evie: Hi, my name is Evie. I was wondering if you were still looking for a babysiter?

Tom: hello evie. Yes iam! If you are looking to be hired its an immediate yes. Visit ****Ln 2692 at 4:30 today.

Evie: Great! Ill be there

Tom: see you then.

End of text convo

I got up and started looking for an outfit. I was starting imaging what this little girl will look like. Or maybe what the dad will look like. Hes probably like 40 years old and she's probably like 5 years old.

I decided to wear a grey longsleave and blue baggy jeans.

I grabbed my car keys without telling anyone. Especially not Ava or Justin. Ill get my own food.

I first went to get gas since i realized the address was pretty far away. My mom texted me

Text convo:
Mom: "where did you go"
Evie: "job interview"
Mom: "be safe please. Come home before 12:00"
Evie: "okay"
End of text convo*

I then drove away and got to the house. By the time i got there it was

4:36

It started to rain a little. Then i realized this house was huge.

A man then walked out

"Evie is it?" My eyes widend when i saw him.

He was so tall. Cornrows. He looked mysterious.

I thought he'd be old with glasses. He looks really young to be a dad.

"Yes" i gave him a little smile before we shook hands. He scanned my appearance before leading me in the house.

"Okay let me show you around the house while i tell you about my daughter" he told me. I nodded my head following him.

"Alright. This is ally" a little girl came running to him. She was small looked like a toddler.

"Shes 2 years old." He said as he held her in his arms. They were almost identical. She looked like a girl version of him. How adorable.

I was waiting for the mom to pop out somewhere or somthing. I saw no family pictures with any woman but just Tom and Ally.

I smiled at Ally. "Okay. This is the kitchen. Snacks are in the top cabinet. Simple stuff in the fridge. Backyard. If shes gonna go in the pool make sure she has her swim suit and please make sure your watching her."

We went upstairs.

"This is her playroom. Again please make sure you are in the same room as her. This is her room. Clothes are in there" he pointed at a closet thingy.

He did not get tired of holding her. She was pretty small anyways.

We walked out of her room.

"My room. I really dont care if either of you guys go in there just dont go in the closet. She likes to sleep in here more then her own bed so its fine if you put her to sleep in here"

He seemed like a great dad. I really wanted to ask him how old he was.

"Sorry how old are you?" I asked him. Turning to him.

He smiled.

"I turned 20 in September. It's totally fine i had ally at a young age" he seem to zone out saying his last sentence.

"Before you ask again. She was made when i was 16. Born when i was 17 and then from there on i was a single dad from the moment she was born. Maybe in the future i will tell you about that story" he took a deep breath. I could tell he was some what sensitive about his past. What happend?

"Anyways. Uh this is a bathroom. There is also one downstairs next to the living room. And one in my room i really dont care if you use it"

He seemed pretty nice. We went downstairs and we sat at a table talking more about ally and concerns. And more about me and what i do.

"Remind me how old you are" he told me.
"Oh uh im 17"

"You still in school?"

"Yes. But iam graduating in January. And i have 2 off class periods starting at 12:00. And my day cuts off short there"

"Great that's perfect. Okay so ally she can kinda talk. She can say my name. She knows how to communicate when shes hungry or wants to go outside. Shes learning other words but overall shes very quiet and shy at first but once she gets comfortable with you she will definitely start talking more. Im supprised she hasnt said anything" he smiled at her.

"What do you do for work?" i asked.

He looked at me.

"Im a mafia boss."

I was in shock. He smiled at my reaction. "If you dont like that just say it and ill let you leave. your choice" he shrugged.

"No No its fine i dont mind i really need this job"
I panicked a little. I didnt want to ruin this opportunity.

"I'm joking. But overall you're hired. You start tomorrow at 1:00"
