The Brat and Her Driver

Chapter 2: A Bit Wild

I arrived at the exact time Susan told me to. I stood by the gate taking in the view.

"Phew." I whistled

I was awestruck. The house was enormous. It stood tall, almost standing three stories high. It was white, the kind of white that seemed to be bleached everyday to keep it that white. There was a balcony to every window up stairs. Oh god were they windows. I wonder how many people lived in this mansion.

The driveway was long and very decorated with many different kinds of flowers.

"Well damn, here goes nothing."

I buzz the buzzer and a voice comes through.

"Residence Collins. How can I help you?"

"Ah yes, I'm the new driver. Dustin... Dustin Knight."

There's a long pause. I stand there very awkwardly with my belongings by my foot. Did they not know I was hired??

"Come in."

And just like that the gates open up. I grab my suitcases and roll in. I walk to the front door. Before I knock the door is open wide.

"Mr.Knight?" an older man with white gloves asks.

For what he's wearing I'm assuming he's the butler.

"Yes? that would be me." I respond. He looks at me up and down.

"I wasn't aware that you were so..."

"Young?" I finish for him.

"Among other things, but yes. So young."

The butler puts both hands behind his back as he continues to stare me down.

"Um yes..." before I can finish he cuts me off.

"But maybe a young person can keep up with Miss Layla. she's a bit..."

"Young? Energetic? Cheerful?" I offer

"Wild."

"Wild?" I ask.

"You'll see soon for yourself Mr. Knight. For now we will move you into your own house, please follow me"

The butler exists the house and begins to walk. I just follow along.

"I'm sure Mr. Collins has explain the job to you correct?"

"Yes. That is correct."

"Well then you should know that Miss Layla leaves here at eight. Sometimes she will be late... okay most times she will be late. The things is that you just have to take her and pick her up at 3:20 whatever you do in between her school time is up to you. If I was you, I would hang around nearby. Miss Layla likes to skip sometimes. Just be warned that she might call you at any time of the day and she doesn't like to be kept waiting."

We enter a small cozy house. By the looks of it, it seem to have been a pool house that was turn into an employee house; given that it was literally right by the pool.

" This is where you will be living , for as long as you work here. Breakfast is served at seven for the employees, we all eat at the kitchen. Lunch is at one, depending if Miss Layla is home, since we eat an hour after she does. For you that might be different." The butler stops and thinks "Actually I have no idea when your meals would be. I suppose whenever Miss Layla let's you. Dinner is served at six, once again that depends if you and her are home. Your informs are in your closet already iron and set. When ever they need to be rewash just leave them in the laundry room. I suppose I can show you that later."
