Nanny

3

Destiny arrives to the Payne residence for her first day of being a nanny. She pulls up to a beautiful huge house.

Destiny opens her car door and grabs her bags from the back seat when she looks up to see Mr. Payne open the front door. She presses herself against her car when she sees a Great Dane charges up to her. She takes a deep breath and holds it in as she watches the dog sniffs her before he wags his tail in excitement.

Destiny slowly reaches out and scratches his head gently while she stutters, "G-good dog."

She screams in fear when the dog stands on his hind legs, but the fear washes away when he licks her face, saying hello to her. She smiles softly and kisses his head softly as she whispers, "You're just a big softy. Hopefully your owner is like that as well."

"Watson, come here ya daft dog!" Mr. Payne commands firmly.

Destiny adjusts the straps of her blush pink cami tank top that is tucked in her distressed denim shorts before she follows the sweet Great Dane inside the beautiful house.

Squeak!

Destiny immediately blushes in embarrassment, matching the color of her tank top, and she glances down at her maroon converse shoes, biting her perfectly glossed bottom lip.

Liam immediately stops in his tracks when he hears the squeaking of her sneakers. He turns to the young nanny and raises his eyebrow at the young woman's attire.

I cannot believe she is the nanny. But I am absolutely desperate for a nanny to take care of Bear while I'm working or at a meeting. But seriously? A tank top and shorts for your first day as the nanny.

Destiny slowly looks up and says quietly, "I am so sorry."

He turns forward and says, "Very well follow me, Miss Harrison."

Destiny nods her head softly and follows her new boss quietly down the hall and into a room. She steps inside after Mr. Payne did. A big smile comes on her face the room is without a doubt bigger than her flat. She is squealing like a little girl on the inside but on the outside she keeps her cool.

She looks around the room to see the walls are painted to blue to give the room's owner a calming effect. Her soft green eyes lands the white king size bed in the room. She has never seen so many pillows on a bed. She places her bags down next to the bed and gently rests her hand on the bed, feeling how soft the covers are. She is without a doubt going to have the best sleep every single night.

She looks over to a baby monitor as she grabs it and turns it on to hear sweet baby snores, indicating Bear is taking his afternoon nap.

She is startled when Mr. Payne clears his throat and says, "Okay. Bear will most likely wake up in the next hour. So you are good to unpack your clothes and place them wherever you want." He checks his $100,000 watch and comments, "Well, I have a meeting in an hour. So I'll be heading out now. And I would like dinner to be ready by time I get home from the meeting."

She looks up at him and asks, "When will you be back?"

"Probably around 5 or 7. One or the other."

Destiny utters an okay very quietly. His intimidation her makes her feel nervous. She bites her lower full lip. The way he is looking at her makes her feel uneasy.

Maybe I should change? She thinks to herself.

Before turning around Mr. Payne says to her, "Oh, Miss Harrison. Tomorrow I would like it if you dressed not like you're going to the beach."

She raises a perfectly arched eyebrow and states, "Mr. Payne, it's hot today. This was appropriate for the heat wave."

Mr. Payne says in a firm tone, "Tomorrow, do not wear this ever again or I will not hesitate to fire you and find a new nanny."

Destiny quickly nods her head and says quietly, "Yes, Mr. Payne."

She watches him walk out of her room and grabs the baby monitor as she turns the baby monitor's volume and places it on her nightstand. She stands up from her spot and thinks that she should check on Bear to make sure he is okay.

She walks out her room and finds his room is next hers as she quietly opens the door and sees he is waking up. She smiles softly and walks over to his crib as she coos at him, "Did you have a nice nap?"

She picks him up and rests him on her hip as she says, "Since your daddy is now at work, maybe you can help me make dinner for the night."

She walks downstairs and enters the beautiful and modern kitchen as she sits Bear in his high chair and asks, "What should I make for dinner, Bear? Spaghetti? Roast beef and mashed potato?" She smiles softly at the adorable baby and coos at him, "Oh, I know! Chicken Alfredo!" She watches him play with his rattle and giggles, "Chicken Alfredo sounds good to you, doesn't it?"

She kisses the top of his head and begins to gather all of the ingredients and utilisers to make the pasta from scratch. She starts to make the pasta by putting the dry ingredients-flour, salt, and some dried herbs in the bowl before she makes a well and cracks three eggs open above the well. She pours some extra virgin olive oil inside the Well before she begins to whisk the eggs and oil with a fork while slowly incorporating some of the flour from around the edges as she goes. Once the dough becomes too thick to whisk with a fork, she turns the dough out onto a clean wooden cutting board, along with any leftover flour from the bowl. She kneads the dough and remaining flour until she gets a smooth, stiff ball of dough. She then wraps the doughy ball loosely in plastic and sets the timer for thirty minutes.

She looks at Bear and asks, "How about we go into the lounge room and watch something on the Telly?" He gives her a toothless smile as she comments, "I'll take that a yes." She picks Bear up from his high chair and glances down at Watson while she states, "Come on, Watson."

She enters the lounge room and sit Bear down on his blanket with his toys as she turns the Telly on to Peppa Pig. She watches Watson lay down on the blanket and cuddle into the cute baby's side. If hearts could melt from too much cuteness, her heart would have melted in a blink of an eye. She scratches before his ear and watches his big muscular tail wag before she puts her attention onto the Telly and watches Peppa Pig.
