The Alpha's Nanny

CHAPTER 1: Another Job?

AURORA

Okay seriously? What the hell is wrong with people? I have worked for this family for a few years and this is how they repay me? Or should I say, NOT pay me? I knew that they were shady and rich snobs from the beginning and if it wasn't for their five year old son, I never would have stayed as long as I did. 

Now seriously, who the hell up and leaves without telling anyone anything, especially their nanny that has been working for them and being there more for their kid more than themselves. How could they one day leave and not at least leave me the money they owe me for the last couple of weeks? Ugh, I swear, sometimes I feel embarrassed to be a human. 

In this moment, I unfortunately was relying on that paycheck to help pay my rent since it's due and the landlord is a total dick and won't give me an extra week or anything to get the money. I don't blame him though I thought there'd be no problem with that this time. 

So as I walk into my apartment building that looks more like a rundown, smelly, studio apartment that you can barely fit more than six people in comfortably, I looked around real quick to make sure I didn't see him and as soon as I got to the staircase that looked as though it could fall apart at any moment and squeaked loudly with every step you took.

I turn to look at him and quickly put on a smile. 

"I know you're not trying to sneak past me without paying your rent." He says as he stands out in front of his door with his hands on his hips. 

He's an older gentleman in his late fifties, never been married, been to war and has a cigar always hanging out of the side of his mouth. He always gave me the creeps and reminded me of a creepy uncle. 

"Yeah, about that." I began to say while reaching into my purse and taking out all that I had, which I guess it's top ramen tonight. I then hand him over half the rent which is normally, $500 per month, all I had to last me the next couple of weeks was $250. So I handed him the cash. "Here, that's all I have, but don't worry, I'll have the rest for you by the end of this week." I assure him and then turn around to start heading up the stairs when I feel him grab my arm and turn me around to face him. 

"Hey, this ain't some charity place and I ain't the kind of sweet fool you take me for neither. I want my money by tomorrow morning. That's the latest I am giving you. And if at 10 AM, you don't have my money, then you're out of here." He says as he points with his thumb at the door behind him. 

"I understand." I tell him not wanting to cause a scene and have my nosy drug addicted neighbors coming out and watching for something to happen cause they can never mind their own damn business. 

I quickly remove my hand from his grasp and walk upstairs as fast as I can. Then once I get inside my apartment and lock the door behind me, I just plop myself onto the couch and I turn on the lamp beside me real quick until seconds later, it goes out. 

Shit, there goes my electricity. I swear, I wish I had a 'get out of jail free' card or something that would assure me that everything was going to be okay, starting tomorrow. 

Then again, nothing good ever lasts, or at least that's what I've learned when I was younger. Now twenty-three years old, I still have the same luck as I always have only this time, I'm worried more about what's going to happen next. There's not many jobs that are available around here. 

I then hear my cell ring and am beyond relieved when I hear my best friend, Jezebel's voice on the other end. She tells me about a job that she has for me and without hesitation, I pack my bags as soon as I get off the phone with her with what little I have and head downstairs and out the door down towards the bus station and head a few states over to see her. 

I wonder who i'll be working for. I wonder too if these people are nice. Hopefully, they won't try and stiff me like these last people did. 

Next chapter will be posted soon! :)           So I will be posting another chapter to this one and the others tomorrow and don't worry, still plenty of more stories are coming!! :);)
