I tied my long chestnut hair in a ponytail, slipped on my red summer dress and put on my matching sandals . I was accompanying my mom to her friend's house, Victoria Beckham . They had important business to deal with. Victoria Beckham...Beckham... For some reason I feel as I've already heard this name before. Maybe my mom mentionned her a couple of time. When we arrived, a lovely woman opened the door. My mom embraced her and squealed
« Victoria! I missed you!
-I missed you too Christina! How are the girls doing?
-Good thank you! How your kids are?
-Good thanks. Is this little Cecelia?
-Yes. Cecelia, this is Victoria. Victoria, this is Cecelia.
-Nice to meet you.» I said a large smile plastered on my face.
«-Me too. Do you want a cup of tea?
-Of course.» My mom replied as she entered the house.
We drank tea and talked, I mean,well my mom and Victoria talked about 'adult' stuff . Me? I just smiled and nodded when they asked my opinion like the penguins in Madagascar, you know the 'smile and wave boys'. When it was time to go, Victoria told me:
«-Your mom told me that you're great with kids, and I was wondering if you would mind babysitting my kids.
-Sure! When should I come?
-Be here at 5.» She said giving me her phone number.
On car trip home, my mom told me that she was very glad of my act. She explained to me that she only came to confirm the rumors about Victoria being pregnant. I could see it in her tone that she wanted me to investigate further the topic. I gave her a wan smile, and told her I was unsure about this 'investigation'. As a kid my mom always used me to get her job done; Let's just say I can fool people easily, get them to trust me. Despite the fact that I've always helped my mother excute her evil plans, I never really enjoyed it, the paparazzi stuff,but I guess I just did it to please my mother. Also, I would never do something as cruel as that to someone as kind as Victoria. The problem was that I've already disappointed my mom and it wasn't really pretty. The Beckham family seemed nice.

The next day at 5 pm, I went to the Beckham's house. When I arrived to their place, Victoria came in rushing toward me and presented me to her kids:
«-So, this is Romeo, Cruz and Harper. Kids, this is Cecelia, your new babysitter.
-You can call me Dianna or Cece, I said a genuine smile playing on my lips
-Okay Dianna.» said Cruz.
«-Bye guys, see you later, and don't get into trouble.» warned Victoria while leaving her house.
-Nice to meet you guys. »I said in a cheery tone
«-Hhm.» said Romeo glaring at me all the way up to his room.
«- Well, that's a fresh start. I will be back in two minutes kids.» I said while going up to see Romeo.
When I went up I saw a maze of doors. Well, I guess that's what happens when you look over rich kids. I heaved a big sigh and started to search the rooms but before I could start the search, I saw Romeo getting out of a room (I'm guessing his room). I went to see him and I asked:
«-What's wrong Romeo?
-That's none of your business.
-Would you like to eat something?
-Yes, I'm starving.»
When we were downstairs, I asked the Beckhams:
«-What do you want to eat?
-What do you know to do? Said Romeo.
-humm... Basic things...I guess...
-We want pasta.» Cruz answered in his cute little voice.
While I was cooking, the kids played songs . We were dancing, and having a blast . When I served the Pasta to the kids, Cruz said to me:
«-Please don't be mad at him, Romeo is just in a bad mood.
-no no! It's okay. » I said smiling at his cuteness.
We were eating when a guy came, he seemed older than me. He took a plate and he put some pasta in. When he sat down, I said to him:
«-Hi! My name is Cecelia, but you can call me Dianna. What's your name?
-Are you Crazy? Why did you cook shrimp! You know that Harper is allergic to them. Do you want to kill her? And who are you?» He screamed while taking off Harper's plate.
«-Nobody told me that.» I said while taking off everybody's plate.
«-You're just a stupid liar! Didn't you see the instruction paper my mom left you?» He screamed at me.
«-shut up, you dumb peanut! And what are you talking about?» I replied while I covered Cruz's ears.
«-Oh! Me? Stupid peanut?» He said by pointing himself.
«-Yes you!
-Excuse me, but who do you think you are calling me a stupid peanut.
-I'm the heiress of Vogue Magazine. I said while picking up my phone to call Victoria.
- So let me get this straight. You're Christina Turner's daughter but you still come here to babysit little kids. By the way, who are you calling?
-Victoria. I said while putting the phone on my ear.
-Hey what are you doing?! She's in an important meeting.
-okay, but leave us alone.
-Might I also point out that your Pasta is horrible. I don't want to find my sibblings throwing up after this..» And he trailed off disappearing before I could snatch his head off.
