One Shots 'The nursery nurse'

Delusional

" You wanted to see me Marjorie?....oh Hi Reece." Charlotte entered the office.

"Yes..." Marjorie spoke. Charlotte could tell straight away that something was wrong.

"You'd better sit down," said the manager.

"Ok?" Charlotte sat down carefully.

Reece also seemed strange, he looked nervously around the room.

"My love, about the deputy manager..."

Charlotte interrupted her. " Oh Marjorie! Don't worry about it. I'm not upset that I didn't get the job."

But that didn't seem to be what Marjorie wanted to say.

" No Char. It's not about that... Well it is about that. But not in the way you think..."

Now Charlotte was confused. " Ok...?"

" The new deputy manager is....well... so.... Reece! Why don't you tell her!"

" Me?" Reece looked nervously at his girlfriend." Well Charlotte... The new deputy manager is Deliah..."

Charlotte was completely lost now. What was going on, why were they making things so strange. Who was this Deliah? Was she as bad as Summer? Or what was going on? " Ok.... and the problem is?"

Reece continued. " Well Deliah and I know each other from our school days.... and she knows Mia too... and well how can I put it... she's..."

" Completely insane!!! Delusional!!! Or as the kids say in her Delulu area!!!" Marjorie exclaimed.

" Oh... In what way?"

"She thinks Mia is the love of her life," muttered Reece.

" What!!!" It was rare for Charlotte to raise her voice like that. "Why?! Did something happen between the two of them?"

" No!!... At least not that I know of," shouted Reece.

"Exactly and that's why Mia should stay away from the Nursery for an uncertain amount of time and you won't be helping out at the Sister Nursery anymore! I don't want that crazy woman pushing you down the stairs or something!", said Marjorie.

Charlotte was stunned. She urgently needed to talk to Mia as soon as she got home.

Mia had no idea what was in store for her. She was sitting relaxed on her couch at home. Had ordered sushi for Charlotte and herself. And was eagerly waiting for her girlfriend.

When she heard the flat door open, she immediately put her phone away. "Hey baby!" she shouted in the direction of the door. "I hope you're hungry! I've ordered us something to eat!"

But as soon as Charlotte entered the room, she knew something was wrong. "Baby? Are you all right?"

Charlotte put her things down and then sat down next to her. " Mia... the new deputy manager started today."

" What? You didn't get the Position? Why?"

But Charlotte didn't want to discuss that now. "That's not the point now. Do you know a Deliah?" She immediately saw Mia's eyebrow twitch.

"No, never heard of her."

She's lying, Charlotte thought.

" Really? Because she knows Reece and you from school."

" Sweetheart. I hardly know anyone from my school days, it's been so long..."

Now the matter was sealed for Charlotte, Mia lied to her. "Sweetheart? You only say that now when you've messed up!"

Mia looked at her, startled. "Yes, ok, I know her! But she's totally crazy!"

" I've noticed. She walks around the nursery and says you're the love of her life."

" What!!!" shouted the redhead.

Charlotte crossed her arms. "Amelia Roberts! You tell the truth right now. Or God help you!"

" Ok Ok but don't be angry..."

"When the sentence already starts like that! Now I'm angry!" shouted Charlotte.

Mia sighed. How could she best explain the whole thing now? " So... as you know, I was only with Reece because I had to..."

" Yes." Charlotte spoke sternly.

"And well, when we broke up for the umpteenth time. Because I thought I'd find my dad on my own again... Well... Reece kept taking me back because he didn't know any better. You know, habit and all that... and when I was split up... I always went to Deliah..."

"Excuse what?! You've been letting her on for over twenty years!!! Mia I'm so mad at you right now!" Charlotte jumped up.

Mia also jumped up. " No! yes!... Ok, I always promised her that if me and Reece split up for good, that we could be together..."

Now Charlotte was even angrier. " Are you're serious! Why?! Were you planning to do that again if you couldn't have me?"

" No!!! For God's sake! She's totally crazy! I would never had a serious relationship with her!"

"But then why did you say it then?" The whole thing was beginning to hurt Charlotte, not just that Mia had lied to her, but that she was apparently the second choice.

Mia looked at her in shame. " Well... I always went to Deliah when it was over with Reece because it was easy....and because she's really good in the bedroom..." Mia was already bracing herself for Charlotte's anger.

" Amelia Roberts!!! You can't be serious!"

Mia wanted to reach for her girlfriend. But Charlotte dodged her.

" I'm so angry with you right now!"

" I know baby..."

" Don't call me baby now! You really messed up! And you're going to put it right!"

"How?" asked the redhead.

"I want you to sort things out with Deliah!"

"How do you want me to do that? Like I said, she's crazy!"

Charlotte began to pack her things. " I don't care! But sort it out! I'm sleeping at home tonight!" She stormed out of the room.

"Wait baby!"

Mia heard the front door slam shut. She dropped onto the couch.
"You did a great job Mia..." she mumbled.

How the hell was she supposed to sort this out?
