Nanny For His Kids

"Mum am off" Sylvia yelled and walked to the door.

"Won't you have breakfast?" Her mum, Mrs Blanco asked.

"No mum I will buy something later" Sylvia smiled.

"Okay and I wish you good luck on finding a job" Mrs Blanco said.

"Thanks mum, I love you" Sylvia blew her a kiss before going out of the house, she started heading for the bus station.

When she got to the bus station, she board the bus that was going to her direction.

After about thirty minutes, the bus stopped and she got down, she started walking

then she saw a restaurant and decided to have breakfast so she went in and sat on an available chair.

Immediately a waitress walked to her.

"Good morning, what will you like to have?" the waitress asked.

"Hmm...just get me Pastrami and some pickles with a bottle of water" Sylvia replied.

"Okay" the waitress nodded and walked away, she came back shortly with Sylvia's order before arranging it on the table.

"Thanks, please do you have any job vacancy in this restaurant?" Sylvia asked.

"No" the waitress shook her head.

"Okay thanks, how much is my bill?" She asked and the waitress told her the amount, she reached for her and brought out some cash from her bag before giving it to the waitress.

"Thanks and enjoy your meal" the waitress smiled before walking away, Sylvia started eating.

When she was done eating, she stood up and walked out of the restaurant, she began to walk again with the hope of seeing a job.

1:45PM

It was already noon and Sylvia had not seen any job.

She sighted a coffee shop so she started walking to it. When she got there, she walked in before going over to the counter, she ordered for expresso coffee and the waiter went to make it.

Minutes later, the waiter brought her order and gave it to her so she walked out of the coffee shop with the coffee in her hand.

Sylvia was still walking when a guy bumped into her and the whole coffee poured on her.

"Ah" she gasped. "I'm so sorry" the guy apologized and she looked up

but she was awestruck with the sight in front of her, a pair of blue eyes, tanned face and a well constructed jaw.

"Gosh..how can a man be so handsome, God really took his time in creating his face" She was still thinking when the guy tapped her and she came back to reality.

"I'm sorry for staining your shirt" the guy apologized again looking at her stained shirt.

"It's fine, I will just clean it" she said and reached for her bag, looking for her handkerchief when she realised it was not with her.

"Use this" he said, pointing a handkerchief to her.

"Thanks" Sylvia replied and took it but then she realised something so she looked up, it was the famous Damien Kings right in front of her.

"Oh my gosh! How could I have not realised he was the one earlier, I'm even holding his handkerchief" she was still thinking when Damien tapped her and she snapped out of her thoughts and started using his handkerchief to clean her shirt but it seems the stain will not clean off.

"I don't think the stain will clean, why don't I buy you another shirt? " he asked.

"No thanks" She smiled.

"Okay, so where are you heading to..maybe I can take you there since you refused me buying another shirt" Damien smiled.

"No need for that" Sylvia smiled back.

"There is need" he smiled.

"Okay, am going home" Sylvia told him cause she thought it would be better to go home rather than looking for a job cause of her ruined shirt.

"Okay, get in" he said and got in his car, Sylvia also went in and he ignited the car engine and started driving.

"So where is your place?" he asked.

"I will give you directions" Sylvia replied and looked outside the car window.

"Shit" Edward muttered staring at his wristwatch.

"Is anything wrong?" Sylvia looked away from the window and asked him.

"I'm sorry, I have got to pick my kids from school, it's past closing hour" Damien said.

"It's fine, let's go pick your kids first before you drop me off" Sylvia said.

"Thanks" Damien looked away from her and focused on the road while she continued looking out of the window.

Minutes later, they got to the school and Damien came out of the car, Sylvia also came out of the car.

"Daddy!" the youngest among the three kids shouted immediately she saw him, she started running to them which brought the attention of the remaining two to them and when they saw their daddy they also began to run to them.

"My baby Flora, how have you been?" Damien hugged the youngest known as Flora.

"Fine Daddy" Flora smiled.

"Hey dad" the boy among them known as Freddie, smiled.

"Hey little champ" Damien smiled and ruffled his hair.

"Dad you are late" the eldest among them whose name is Katherine frowned.

"I'm sorry, I had to..." Damien was still saying when she cut him off.

"You came late to pick us up because of her" Katherine frowned staring at Sylvia.

"Dad who is she?" Little Flora asked.

"Hmm she is... " Damien trailed when he realised he doesn't know her name.

"Sylvia" Sylvia cut in and Flora nodded.

"Who cares" Kathy rolled her eyes and entered the car, the others followed her and Kathy sat on the seat next to the driver's seat while the others sat at the back.

"I'm sorry for Kathy's behavior" Damien said to Sylvia.

"It's fine" Sylvia smiled and Damien nodded, he got into the car and Sylvia went to the back seat knowing that she won't be able to sit at the front seat anymore.

Damien ignited the car engine and started driving.

When they got home they got down, the guards greeted them and the kids quickly rushed inside leaving Damien and Sylvia.

"Do you mind stepping in for some minutes?" Damien asked.

"Okay" Sylvia replied and they started walking inside with Damien leading the way.

When they entered, Freddie ran to his daddy.

"Dad why is there no food in the house?" He asked.

"Your nanny resigned, remember and it is all you guys fault" Damien rolled his eyes.

"But daddy we are hungry" Kathy pouted.

"Yeah" King and Flora supported.

"What are we going to do now?" Damien asked looking at his hungry looking children.

"Hmm...I will cook" Sylvia volunteered seeing that there is no one available to cook for them and they were really hungry.

"Really! " Freddie's eye lit up.

"You would do that? " Damien asked.

"Yeah, that is if you don't mind" Sylvia shrugged.

"I don't mind" Damien nodded.

"But Dad..why will she cook for us" Kathy frowned.

"Like we have a choice" Flora rolled her eyes.

"Seriously, you want her to cook also" Kathy faced Flora.

"Kathy if she doesn't cook, we will die of hunger" Freddie said.

"Gosh you guys are annoying" Kathy said and stormed upstairs.

"Miss don't mind her can you start cooking already" Freddie smiled.

"Okay please show me the way to the kitchen" Sylvia smiled back and Freddie started walking to the kitchen with Sylvia and Flora behind him.

"What would you guys like to eat?" Sylvia asked when they got to the kitchen.

"Pasta and chicken stew" Freddie quickly replied.

"Okay, Flora what would you like?" She asked Flora.

"Same thing with what Freddie said" Flora replied.

"Okay show me where you keep foodstuff" Sylvia said and Freddie pointed it out, she nodded and got all what she needed for the food, she started preparing it with the help of Freddie cause Flora left after.

Some minutes later the food was ready so she took it to the dining table before arranging it.

"Wow I love the smell of the food, I can't wait to eat it" Freddie salivated and Sylvia chuckled.

"Wow, what is that smell" Flora said, walking into the dining room.

"Wow, the food looks amazing" Flora said again and sat down on one of the chairs.

"Freddie, can you please call your dad and sister" Sylvia said.

"I'm already here" Damien said, walking in.

"Same with me" Kathy said and sat down.

"I must say the food looks really good" Damien complimented.

"Thanks" Sylvia smiled back and started serving the food.

"Serve yours too" Damien muttered and she nodded.

When she was done serving the food, she sat down and they started eating.

"Hmm this is the best food I have ever tasted" King moaned.

"It isn't, mum's food is still the best" Kathy rolled her eyes.

"Hmm...I don't think so" Freddie shook his head.

"Really, Flora what do you think?" Kathy asked.

"I don't really know" Flora replied, simply and faced her food.

"Seriously, dad what do you think?" Kathy asked.

"Errr..."

"They both taste good" Damien said and went back to his food.

"But dad there must be one that is better" Kathy furrowed her eyebrows.

"Can we forget about it and go back to our food" Damien said.

"Fine" Kathy rolled her eyes and went back to her food.

Minutes later, they were done eating so Sylvia packed the plates and took it to the kitchen, she started doing the dishes. When she was done, she cleaned her hand with the napkin before walking out of the kitchen.

"Thanks aunt Sylvia for the food, it was nice" Flora smiled at her.

"You are welcome" Sylvia ruffled her hair and she giggled, Damien seeing this, smiled cause it was the first time he saw Flora was free with a woman except his sister.

"Thanks also Aunt Sylvia, I wish you can continue cooking for us everyday" Freddie pouted.

"I don't think that can happen and I think I need to start going, it's getting late" Sylvia said.

"Yeah, I will drive you home" Damien said.

"Sure" Sylvia nodded.

"Kids, I will be back" Damien said and started heading towards the door.

"Okay" the kids replied.

"Bye kids" Sylvia bade them goodbye before following Damien.

"Bye Aunt" Flora and Freddie replied.

Sylvia and Damien walked out of the house and went to the car, they got in and Damien started driving while Sylvia gave him the directions to her place.

Minutes later, they got to her place.

"Thanks for the ride" She thanked him and he nodded.

"Errr...Sylvia thanks for today, I really appreciate" he appreciated.

"It's nothing" she smiled.

"I wanted to ask if..you could be my kids nanny"

"Errr..." she went silent.

"Please, I will pay any amount " he pleaded and Sylvia thought of it, she has no job and he said he will be paying a good amount, she really likes the kids so she thought of agreeing.

"Okay, I was jobless anyway" she smiled.

"Thanks, just say any amount and I will pay" he said.

"I will think of it, I need to go now " she smiled and opened the door.

"Wait, can you start tomorrow? please" he asked.

"Okay" she replied.

"I will send my driver to come pick you up by 10"

"Sure I need to get going now" she said and got down from the car feeling glad that she had got a job.

Damien watched as she walked into the house before driving away.

"Mum, I'm home!" Sylvia yelled as she entered the house.

"I'm in the kitchen" Mrs Blanco replied from the kitchen and Sylvia walked to the kitchen.

"Hey mum" she said to her mum who was doing the dishes.

"How was your day? Did you find a job?" Mrs Blanco asked.

"Yes, as a nanny" Sylvia replied walking to the fridge to take water cause she was feeling thirsty.

"That's good but does that mean you will be leaving this house?" Mrs Blanco asked.

"Unfortunately yes" Sylvia replied and took a large gulp from the water.

"Okay" Mrs Blanco nodded sadly before going back to the dishes.

"Mum..come on, don't be sad, I promise to always check up on you" Sylvia hugged her from the back.

"I know that but I'm sad that you will be leaving me alone" Mrs Blanco said.

"Mum, you know I love you right and I'm doing this for us, I need a job and now that I got one as a nanny, I have no choice but to take it" Sylvia said and released her.

"Okay, when will you be leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning" Sylvia pouted sadly.

"What! that is so early" Mrs Blanco exclaimed.

"I know right but I have to go"

"Fine, go and rest while I prepare dinner" Mrs Blanco said.

"Okay mum, I love you" Sylvia said and walked out of the kitchen.

"I love you too" Mrs Blanco replied after her.

Sylvia walked into her room and immediately pulled her clothes then she went to the bathroom to have her bath. When she was done she came out of the bathroom and walked to her closet, she took out a black knicker and blue top.

She put the clothes on and walked to her bed, took her phone out of her bag and decided to call her best friend Bianca Dialing her number she waited for her to pick up.

"Hey girl!" Bianca yelled from the other line and Sylvia quickly removed the phone from her ear.

"Do you want to damage my ear? " She rolled her eyes.

"It would be good right, don't you think? "Bianca asked.

"Gosh, you are crazy, how is work? " Sylvia asked.

"Fine and have you found a job? "

"Yeah"

"What type of job? " Bianca asked, curiously.

"A nanny" Sylvia muttered.

"Okay that's fine"

"Yeah and guess who I'm gonna be working for" Sylvia smiled.

"Who?"

"Damien Kings" Sylvia dropped the bomb.

"What! You are joking" Bianca exclaimed, shocked.

"Well too bad I'm not" Sylvia smirked.

"Wow, so you would be living with Damien Kings"

"Yes"

"Gosh you are so lucky to live with the country's husband and how are you going to cope with his children? I heard they are really spoilt" Bianca said.

"They are not really bad"

"Oh really! Well I have to go now, we will talk tomorrow" Bianca said.

"Okay, bye I have to start packing my things also" Sylvia said.

"Goodnight"

"Night" Sylvia sighed after cutting the call.

"Sylvia come downstairs for dinner" she heard her mum yell so she dropped her phone and walked out of her room to the dining.

"Wow the food looks nice" Sylvia said taking her sit on one of the chairs.

"I can't wait to taste it" She said again and started serving herself, when she was done serving she immediately started eating.

"Hmm the food taste good" she moaned and Mrs Blanco chuckled.

"I'm glad you liked it" she smiled and they continued eating, when they were done eating Sylvia took the plates to the kitchen for washing.

By the time she was done washing the plates, her mum had already gone to her room so she went upstairs, she decided to greet her mum goodnight so she stopped by her door and knocked then opened the door, poking her head inside.

"Goodnight mum" she said.

"Goodnight honey, sleep tight" her mum replied smiling.

"I love you mum"

"I love you too "

That been said she went to her room and laid on the bed, closing her eyes she thought of how tomorrow is gonna be before sleep took over.

****THE NEXT DAY, 7:59AM****

The sun emitting from the window, hitting Sylvia's face made her open her eyes.

"It's morning already" she thought sitting up on the bed, her eyes moved to the wall clock, time was fifteen minutes to nine.

"There is still time" she thought then she remembered that she was starting her new job as a nanny today. She stood up and took off her clothes before heading to the bathroom, she had a warm bath then she walked out before going to her closet.

Her eyes racked through the clothes as she sighed thinking of what to wear, she finally settled for a blue free knee length gown and white canvas. She wore them and applied lip gloss on her lips then sprayed perfume on her body, she checked the mirror and nodded, satisfied with her look, she took her phone before walking out of her room, heading downstairs.

"Good morning mum" She greeted her mum who was knitting something.

"Morning honey, how was your night?" Mrs Blanco asked.

"It was fine mum and yours?" Sylvia replied.

"It was okay" Mrs Blanco replied.

"Okay, what are you knitting?" Sylvia asked.

"Something for you" Mrs Blanco replied.

"Okay, I will go make breakfast now" Sylvia said and went into the kitchen.

Thinking of what to cook, she decided to make her mum's favourite, fried pasta and chicken sauce so she start to work.

Thirty minutes later, she was done cooking so she took the food to the dining table before arranging the food on it.

"Mum, breakfast is ready" she said when everything was set.

"Okay, I'm coming" Mrs Blanco replied from the sitting room, she dropped what she was knitting before going to the dining.

"Wow my best food!" she exclaimed when she saw the food.

"Yeah mum, I made your best food, I thought that since I would be leaving today, I should cook something special for you" Sylvia smiled.

"Awwwn thanks child, I love you" Mrs Blanco pouted childishly and sat down on one of the chairs, she took her spoon and ate from the food while Sylvia stood, waiting for her to say something about the food.

"Wow! This is nice" Mrs Jones complimented.

"Thanks mum" Sylvia said and took her seat then started eating.

"Wow how did you know how to cook like this? You are even better than me now" Mrs Blanco pouted.

"I learnt from the best which is my mum" Sylvia smiled.

"Awwwn really, I must say you cook better than me now " Mrs Jones said and Sylvia chuckled, they continued eating. When they were done, Sylvia packed all the dishes and took it to the kitchen for washing. After she had washed them finish, she walked out of the kitchen, a knock came on the door so she went to open it, she met a man outside.

"Good morning sir" she greeted the man.

"Good morning mam, I'm here to pick Miss Sylvia up" he replied.

"That's me, you are from Mr Damien, right?" she asked.

"Yes I am" he replied.

"Okay, give me some minutes, I will be back" she told him.

"Take your time" he smiled and she nodded before going back in.

"Who is that? " Mrs Blanco asked.

"The driver assigned to pick me up...I'm coming, let me go get my bags" Sylvia said and went upstairs to her room. She came back downstairs with her bags in her hand.

"Mum I'm leaving" she said.

"Wait, let me see you off" Mrs Blanco said, she stood up from the sofa before going outside with Sylvia.

"Let me take this" the driver said and collected the bags from Sylvia, he put it into the car trunk.

"Thanks" Sylvia smiled at him and he nodded.

"Here, have this" Mrs Blanco said and stretched out a knitted bracelet towards Sylvia.

"Wow,mum this is beautiful!" She screamed and collected it from her. She loved the bracelet cause it was knitted with her best colour, blue and white and there was also beads in it making it look more beautiful.

"You like it?" Mrs Blanco asked.

"Of course, I love it" Sylvia replied and looked at the bracelet, admiring it.

"Thanks mum" she said again.

"You are welcome honey and I wish you well in that house" Mrs Blanco smiled and pulled her into a hug.

"I will miss you" Mrs Blanco cried.

"I will miss you more" Sylvia muttered and they kept hugging for sometime before Sylvia released herself from the hug.

"Stop crying mum, I will be fine" Sylvia said and wiped her mum's tears with her hands.

She understood why her mum was crying cause this was the first time she would be leaving her ever since her father died four years ago and she would be really lonely not like those days when she used to go to college, her father was still alive to stay with her.

"Okay, I will stop" Mrs Blanco nodded.

"I need to go now and I promise to always be in touch with you, I love you mum" she smiled and pecked her mum's cheek.

"I love you too honey, go now" Mrs Blanco patted her back and she nodded then walked to the car, the driver opened the door for her and she got in.

"Thanks" she said to the driver and he nodded before going over to the driver's seat, he ignited the car engine and started driving. Sylvia started waving at her mum till she was out of sight, sighing, she closed her eyes and rested back on the chair.

An hour and some minutes later, they got to the mansion and Sylvia stepped out of the car and got her bags from the car trunk.

"Let's go" the driver said and started walking inside with Sylvia trailing behind him.

"Wait here let me go and call the boss" the driver said when they got inside.

"Okay sir" she muttered.

"Don't call me sir, call me Greg" the driver known as Greg said and she nodded, he went upstairs and seconds later he came back with Damien.

"Good morning sir" she said to Damien.

"Good morning" he replied and told Greg to leave.

"It's good that you are here, let me show you to your room" Damien said and started walking upstairs, Sylvia followed him. They were still walking in the hallway when Damien stopped at a door, he opened it and walked inside and she followed.

"Wow! " she exclaimed looking around the room.

"This is your room" he said and she nodded still looking around the room, she was mesmerized by what she saw, the room was big, times two of her room at home and the bed, it was so big.

"I would leave you now" he said.

"Okay sir, thank you" she thanked him and he nodded then walked out of the room, she didn't really know why she was thanking him but she felt like the room was great and she needs to thank him.

She jumped on the bed and gasped feeling the softness against her skin, she almost fell asleep but was quick to regain her consciousness, she stood up and walked to the closet, she opened it and started arranging her clothes in it.

When she was done, she checked the time and when she saw it was already 12, she decided to go downstairs and see what she can do. She opened the door and walked out of the room, heading downstairs.

When she got downstairs, she met him sitting on the sofa operating his laptop and Damien, noticing a presence looked back and saw her.

"Do you need anything?" he furrowed his eyebrows.

"Errr..I wanted to ask if you could show me to the kids room because I would need to go to their rooms in future" She explained.

"Okay" he muttered and stopped what he was doing on his laptop before dropping it.

"Let's go" he said and started leading the way.

He showed her to Kathy, Flora and Freddie's room and some other places in the mansion so they were back in the living room now.

"Thanks for the tour sir, I would like to make lunch now since the kids will soon be back so what will you like for lunch?" she asked, scratching her hair nervously.

"Anything" Edward muttered and went back to his laptop she nodded before going to the kitchen. She stood still for some minutes, thinking of what to cook and she later decided to make pancakes so she got all the ingredients and started preparing it.
