The Au pair

I dont think she likes me

I was excited to come into this house , to see what it was like .

As soon as we stepped in the front door , he  flipped a switch , illuminating the whole house .

It was very nice . But not as grand as i had expected it to be . I expected it to have a grand staircase , expensive paintings everywhere,  and something a little more ....

Showy .

But instead , it seemed like everything was either  glass , black , or white .

Not like a home at all.  It was more like an office building .

" I decorated the interior , as you can see . "

I nodded my head politely with a half smile .

" Its called a minimalist style . Its not as extravagent , and it takes the weight off of my pockets . " , he winked at me and made the little money sign by rubbing his thumb and pointer finger together .

I liked it kind of . It was still stylish , but classy .

" Plus , if it was up to my wife , everything would be covered in gold ."

I laughed a little , taking my shoes off and placing them in my suitcase .

" So , i guess i'll show you to your room." , he turned around and started walking up the " minimalist " style stairs . There was no railing . So if you were to lose balance  , you were seriously injured .

I carefully walked up the stairs , step by tiny step.

We got to the dark hallway , and the thought hit me that this house had no life , almost like a tomb .

" Here it is !" , mr . Morson opened a door , and led me into a room .

" Do you like it ! "

It looked the same as the rest of the house , lifeless , glass , black and white.

With a bed at the end of the room , a huge glass window taking up the entire wall , and a huge flat screen t.v facing the bed , the room was very simple , and i wanted to add a little atoinette flare before it would be mine for six months .

But i wasnt sure i really wanted to personalize it , considering the fact i wouldnt be here very long .

" Well its not much , but i know you can make it your own , maybe put some flowers or boy band posters up or whatever. "

I laughed at how wrong he was about my interests .

" I hate flowers , and boy bands . "

He laughed too .

" Well i guess you arent like a regular teenage girl ." , he said in a more serious tone .

I suddenly felt shy , feeling smaller under his gaze .

  He stood there , watching me .

We stood there staring at each other until we heard the door opening down stairs .

He looked like he had been caught doing something bad , and walked out of the room very quickly .

I crossed my arms across my chest , ready to meet the wife .

I walked down the dangerous stairs , and saw a pretty woman walk in . She had freshly blowed out shoulder length hair with nice highlights , perfect makeup , and a navy blue jumpsuit with a nicely detailed brow necklace  drapedaround her neck , along with a skinny brown belt . She took off her nude  pigalle loubituons , and put down her brown  louis vuitton purse .

They kissed longingly , longer than my parents usually kiss  , and stared at each other a moment .

" Where is she ? " , she asked curiously .

She searched  around , than locked eyes with me .

She looked taken aback for a moment ,  composing  herself .

" Well , shes gorgeous . " ,  she gave me a tight smile , and walked ovrer towards me .

" Jenny ." , she put out a delicate,  manicured hand .

" Antoinette , it is very nice too meet you . "

She looked distracted .

" Yes , yes . You too . "

She smiled once more, showng off her perfectly straight white teeth ,  ( just as i had expected)  , and walked up the stairs.

I turned toward Mr . Morson , in which he shrugged .

" She's probablly stressed out from work . "

I nodded , understanding what he meant . My father was stressed out from work alot also .

" You hungry ? " , grant asked , already at the top of the stairs.

" No , i ate alot on plane. " , i rubbed my stomach to add effect and started walking upstairs to call my parents .

He nodded and disappeared before i got up the stairs .

I walked past the room i was assuming was their room , and heard jenny talking in an irritated voice. 

" She is way to beautiful too just be frollicking around the house in those tight clothes and all that makeup !"

I looked down at my white crop top and ripped skinny  jeans . I had just been able to get a belly piercing and i was excited about showing  it off ! And my makeup was just like all of the other girls at my old school , and none of the adults , including my parents , seemed to care !

I heard grant trying to comfort her , in a soft voice .

" Shes just a kid jenny . She means no harm. "

" Yeah , a kid with a womans face and body , grant .  "

" Baby , why are you so worried about her . She is attractive , but you are my wife , there wont be a problem . She is a nice girl . "

" Whatever ." , i heard some shuffling , and padding towards the door .

I ran away quick , not wanting anyone to see that i was eavesdropping .

It was just grant , and upon seeing me , examined me from head to toe .

He didnt say a word as he went down the stairs .

I opened the door to my new room , looking out the large window next to my bed .

I was already homesick.

I decided to call my parents before going to sleep .
