An Oblivion: A Distortion Of Mary Poppins (UNEDITED)

CHAPTER 2

Jane's POV

One week had already passed since we've talked about having a nanny. Lately, Mom and Dad have been busy looking for a one. Yes, they agreed to have a nanny. Well, we already have a housemaid and she could also be our nanny but she's always busy with house choirs and we need another one.

I heard the doorbell rang. Oh! Who could it be? Another person to apply? I wish she will be the one. I can't count the person who applied because there are too many already. Mom is very picky. Her standard is too high to reach for the previous persons that applied. That is why no one has passed till now.

Our housemaid, Mrs. Lark is the one who opened the door and I whose been very curious about who was it, I peek at the door. I stood there, stunned. Oh. There is a very obscenely beautiful woman who's standing at our door. She's wearing a black cloak, with an umbrella in her left hand. Even though she's wearing a cloak, her beauty is prominent. She has a fair skin tone, long thick eyelashes, rosy cheeks and a pair of a blinkering eye. I think she's like a mortal Venus.

"Hi, could I apply to be a nanny?" The woman said with a warm smile plastered on her face. She looks like an angel. She has a friendly vibe within her.

"Oh, come in. Your name is?" Mrs. Lark said while guiding the woman to our living room.

"I'm Mary Poppins." That's a very odd name for me. Poppins? As in What's popping? I laughed at the thought.

"Please wait here. I will just call Mrs. Banks to introduce you." Mrs. Lark goes to the room where mom always stays to her work, which is her mini office in their room.

"Hi, kid." I was startled when she called me. "Uh, Hi." I awkwardly and shyly greeted back

"What's your name?" I was about to say my name when Mom arrived.

"Hi, Ms. Poppins." Mom amiably hugs her.

"Good morning Mrs. Banks." She greeted back. After the greetings, Mom turned to face me.

"Jane, your brother is looking for you. He's in his room. Ms. Poppins and I will just talk." Mom smiled at me like she's assuming that the woman is the last one they will entertain because she's the one. "Okay, mom." I smiled and then turned to go to my brother's room.

As usual, I didn't knock on my brother's room. Well, he's used to it anyway. "Hey, mom said you were looking for me? Why?" I saw him doing something on his desk. I peek what is it and I saw that he's drawing something!

"Ah yes. I am. I'm going to ask you about what I draw. It's nothing really but I want to know your opinion about it." As he shows his work of art to me, I was amazed by it! "I didn't know that you can draw! It's very cool!"

"Really? You think so?' He says while scratching the back of his head. "Aw. My brother is shy!" I laughed while looking at his very red face.

"No, I'm not!" Turning his back to me. I tried to peek again but he suddenly turns and tickles me, making me fall on the floor.

"So you're teasing me huh." I tried to escape but he's too strong to pin me on the floor.

"He-hey! Stop it, Michael! It's unfair! You're too strong for me to escape." I said while chuckling. He stopped and we both laid on the floor, staring at the ceiling. We're still catching our breath.

I look at him and saw him smiling. I smiled too. "Michael, do you think having a nanny is a good idea?" He looks at me, still smiling. "As long as you're happy with it, it's fine."

I feel assured after he said it. We heard a knocked and a voice. "Kids?" Michael helps me get up when he opened the door. "You look having fun." It's mom who knocked. She looks like have a good news for us. "You have a nanny!" I thought so.

"Does Ms. Poppins passed, Mom?"

"Yes, sweetie. So let's go and meet her. You two should be acquainted with her."

"Me too? But I don't need a nanny." My brother object at the thought of him having a nanny.

"You're just shy Michael." I teased him and he grins at me. Uh-oh. It's a sign that I should be ready because I teased him again.

"Mary, this is my children." We saw the woman talking to Dad. They both look at our direction.

"Kids, introduce yourself to Mary," Dad said while giving us a delightful smile. Maybe he's also excited because we have a nanny now.

"Hi, I'm Michael. The oldest and this is Jane. My younger sister, a bit younger than me. We're glad to meet you." My brother said without inhibitions and gave our nanny a welcoming smile

"I'm Mary. Mary Poppins" She smiled and ask for shake hands. Michael took her hands and shake it. Also, I shake hands with her. "Mom, when will Mary starts her work?" I asked mom curiously.

"You can start today, Mary." Mom said to Nanny Mary.

"Kids, show her your rooms. I will go back to our room. Mary, if you have questions, just asked me or my husband. I will trust the children to you." Mom turned to us. "Kids, behave okay?"

"Yes, mom! We will." Michael winked at mom and then go to Mary to assist her. "Feel at home, Mary! We will be your new family." I look at Michael and plan to tease him again.

"I remember that you said a while ago that you don't need a nanny." I look at him while making my eyebrow go up and down while grinning. "I know that Mary is beautiful but aren't you too obvious that you like her?" It's really fun to tease him.

"I'm just being nice to her, Jane. Since she's our nanny, like a second mother. We should be good and not be mean to her." Michael said but, I noticed that Mary seems silent listening to us but she looked lost.

"Mary, are you okay? We're here in my room." I touched her arm and looked at her worrying if there's something wrong. She's startled by my touch.

"It's nothing." She smiles

"Are you sure?" I asked her with a worried tone

"Yes. So where are we?" Mary suddenly changes her mood. She looks at us and smiles

"Oh! Uh, this is my room." As I show her my room, her mood totally change.
