Our little secret

Chapter 2

So it was my first day at work. I woke up at 5 A.M. I took a shower and when i got out in my living room, i saw a uniform laying on the sofa. It was a black skirt, a white shirt and little cute black shoes. It fit me perfectly. I was headed out at precisely 6 A.M. My heart was beating fast and my palms were sweaty, and I was completely terrified of doing something that might get me fired. I really did need this job. 

Joe met me in the entrance. His hair was pulled back, and he was wearing a suit. I wondered what his responsibility was, I had to ask him. But right now, he was very busy giving me all kinds of papers and folders. He even gave me a map over the house, with rooms coloured in different colours. Each colour represented a day, meaning that on Monday I would clean the rooms coloured with red and so on. It was all very systematic and easy to understand. 

"Mrs. Styles is at her office in town, but I assume everything in these folders is easy to understand. Everything you have to do is listed under the specific days. All of your equipment is in the room marked with a pink circle." Joe went on and on giving me every information I would need, so far. 

"You also have to sign this. Mrs. Styles wants to keep her life private, and this... Well... Shuts you up." Of course I signed it right away.

"Where's Travis?" I asked. On my schedule it said that i were to take him to school every morning at 7 A.M.

"Oh, Mr. Styles dropped him of when he to work this morning. I assume you haven't met Mr. Styles yet, but I assure you he is just lovely. Travis too, just a lovely kid."

I decided that I liked Joe, he seemed like an OK dude.  

I started finding my way through the house, learning my way to the different rooms. I didn't want to carry around a map for very long. Even though the house was huge and had many rooms I figured I would learn pretty quickly. I'd try to get the work done quickly today, trying to get it all done before I was to pick up Travis after school. I had received a photo of the boy so that I would recognize him in the crowd of children. 

The room with all the stuff i needed was organized well, and I had no trouble finding what I needed for the different things I had to do. I was really glad that I didn't have to cook, and that there were people for that. But i did have to clean the floors in the kitchen every day, but that was okay considering that I didn't have to make the food. Me being my clumsy self that would only result in burned rice and dry chicken. 

My first day was all right, and I headed for the door to pick up Travis when I almost crashed into Harry. "Oh my, pardon me" he said, " are you off to pick up Travis?" I just nodded, with the shock of seing his beautiful face I was sure my voice would tremble. "Well, you haven't even met the boy yet, how do you think you'll be able to see him?" He looked at me with dazzling eyes, and I got a bit lost in them. He was still waiting for an answer though and I had to snap out of it. "Well, I do got his picture, I think it'll go alright." He thought for a while. 

"Well, I can join you, so it'll be much easier for you. Besides, I don't have any work to do that needs to be done right away." I smiled thankfully, and he followed me outside. I headed for the garage, and Mrs. Styles had told me that I were to use her spare car at any need. Harry stopped my though, and led me to his car. It was blue, and just gorgeous. I had no clue what kind of  car it was, but it sure suited him. 

He drove out the gate, and out on the road. It was so quiet in the car I got a bit nervous. I was relieved when he started to talk.

"So, how has your day been so far? Done with all the cleaning? I'm sure there's a lot to do, my mum's has a bit OCD i think.." I laughed, well she did need me to swipe the floors twice.
