I knocked on the door a few times, after standing by the door for a few minutes, I started looking around, I then double checked the address one more time in case I came to the wrong house.I looked at my phone it was 12:03pm already and this was the right house! I knocked again and then a few times harder.
Finally an agitated looking person swung open the door. He looked like a butler. "Welcome Miss Bower, Mrs. Adam has been expecting you. I am Jackson." He said.
"Oh, thank you. Is Jane there?" I said, "I'm sorry but Jane and Mr. Adam could not make it." He said, then he gestured for me to come in.Jackson led me through many halls, I didn't even have time to see any of the rooms we passed. I hardly noticed when we stopped and I nearly crashed into Jackson.
"Mrs. Adam, Miss Bower is here." Jackson said, "Let her in then." said a soft welcoming voice, Jackson motioned me to follow him into a spacious living room. On one of the couches there as an elderly woman on the couch when she looked up, she had stunning eyes that sparkled with something. She smiled welcomingly, and walked over to me, "I'm Joy Adam call me Joy, please have a seat Abigail, I'm so glad you could make it. Tell me how are you doing dear?" She said kindly, I sat down, and I smiled in return, "I'm doing fine, thank you for taking time to meet me. How are you doing Miss Joy?" I said, "Please just Joy, and I'm doing well, the children will be coming down soon. I must be honest with you Abby I was expecting you to be much older. Not that you being young is a bad thing. Please tell me a bit about yourself." She said, "Well I-I haven't been doing much these past days, I've just been looking for a family to work with." I said, trying not get into to much about myself.
"If you don't mind me asking how old are you?" She asked a bit hesitantly, I smiled at that question, "Don't worry, I don't mind I'm 26 years old." I said, when her mouth formed an 'o' shape I couldn't help but laugh, "Oh wow, I, wow, wait you're 26?" I nodded at her question,
"Well how old do I look? I hope I don't look like an old hag!" I said jokingly, she laughed and shook her head.We talked and laughed getting to know each other better until a lady came into the room with two babies in her arms and a little boy trailed behind her dragging a truck behind him. I ran over to the lady, "Do you need a hand?" I asked, "Uhm, Madam?" She asked while looking at Joy, Joy nodded. The lady gave Joy one of the girls and gave me one of the beautiful baby girls. "Hello, gorgeous." I said to her, she gurgled, while bouncing up and down, I let her hold one of my fingers, and walked towards the boy. Once he saw me, waved to me I smiled at him and waved back even though we were a few feet away. "Ashton, say hello." Said Joy, "Hiy, am Ash!" He said in his baby voice, and walking towards me he stuck out his tiny hand, I nearly melted by his cuteness, I bent down to his level while holding the baby close to me, and shook his hand. "I'm Abby, nice to meet you Ash." I said, he smiled at me and I melted, the way he smiled the tip of his tongue stuck out, he ran toward Joy and hid his face.
I could help but smile, Joy laughed and whispered something into his ear, he looked at me with pink checks and nodded.The lady had brought a mat and some toys for the girls. "So, what is their names?" I asked Joy, "Well this is Tesla.- she said while pointing to the baby in my arms -and this is Ulloa." she and put her on the mat. "Their are unique names, very beautiful." I said.
Joy walked me to the door, "Thank you for coming to meet me, and I think you'll be a great nanny for the children, and Ashton seemed to really like you. I'd love to talk again about all the arrangements, etcetera. Here's my contact information. I hope to see you soon Abby." Joy said.
I smiled, and said "I'd love too, thank you." "I'm sorry my son couldn't be here, to meet you. He's been very busy lately, he asked me to make sure everything goes well and surprisingly everything went better than 'well'. It was lovely meeting you, Abby." She said.Once I got into my room I couldn't help but let a smile spread across my face.
Today went a lot smoother than I thought, I could have had a better day.
I can't wait to work with the children.The past few days I've kept in contact with Joy, she's such a sweet lady.
She asked me to come by tomorrow, to talk. I don't know if that's a good thing.
I got my outfit ready for tomorrow.I was pretty tired, since I was in a hotel they had both a shower and a bathtub, I felt like taking a long bath to just sit there and soak. After what felt like half an hour the water felt cold, and I was numb, I washed off, and got ready for bed. I flopped onto the bed and fell asleep.
When I woke up, I woke up with hair in my mouth, which was pretty nasty. I sweated a lot last night so I felt pretty gross. I hate the feeling of stickiness I looked at the clock it was already 8:00am, I ran to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror,I'm really not a morning person so to say I looked like a hot mess, was an understatement.
Once I was done taking a shower I hurriedly put on my outfit that I put together yesterday night.
I checked myself one last time before leaving, deciding this was the best it was going to get, I headed out.I walked up to the big gate and pressed the red button on the box.
"Name please." it said,
"Abigail Bower..." I said.
The gate opened, I walked to the door admiring how big and beautiful this place was. When I walked up to the door, the door opened right when I was about to knock and I accidentally knocked on someone's face.
All I heard was a painful groan.
