RYAN PARKER👆

********

Today is my first day of work. I am standing in front of his house. Yesterday I forgot to ask him something. I have to ask it now or else I would keep thinking about it when he'll be around me.

I pressed the doorbell a lady opened the door.

"Yes. Who are you?" she asked.

"I am here for babysitting Mr. Parker's child. He appointed me."

"Oh yes! He told me last night. Come in."

As soon as I entered my mouth fell open. That day I was in so hurry that I didn't notice how beautiful this house is.

"Please wait here. I'll call Sir."

I nodded with a smile. She went upstairs and came back after few minutes.

"Sir has already left for work."

"Okay.. what's your name?" I asked her.

"I am Maria. And you?"

"Bella Adams. But you can call me Bella."

"Okay Bella."

"Can you show me the child's room and oh I forgot what is his name?"

"His name is Ryan. And come follow me I'll show you his room."

I followed to where she was taking me. "But Bella I don't think you'll have a lot of work to do because he is very quiet and just stays with himself. No friends nothing. He'll have a tutor come home and teach him everyday. Sir arranged it for him." I nodded. "Here we are. This is Ryan's room."

"Thank you." She smiled and left.

I opened the door and went in.

Woah! This room is so cute.

I looked around to search for the child. Then finally found him sitting at the corner of the room and playing with some cars.

I think he didn't realize my presence. I cleared my throat to get his attention.

Still nothing.

"Hey I am Bella Adams. Your father has hired me as your babysitter."

Still no reply. He pretended that I was nowhere in the room.

I sighed and went to him. Kneeling in front of him. I looked at him.

He is so cute. Oh Jesus! Those cheeks, those eyes.

"Hey. What's your name?" I asked.

"Ryan." He finally said.

Jesus! That voice. He is the perfect definition of cuteness.

"So Ryan you want me to play with you. I can play with you."

He shook his head and focused on his cars.

"Do you want to go to the garden?"

He again shook his head.

What is his problem? He is acting rude.

I got up and made my way to the chair and sat there. I was sitting and watching him play.

This job is so boring.

Then I thought why not search for a rented apartment. I took out my phone and started searching apartments. Finally! An hour of search I found one which is a little cheap and also good. I think this would work. But I have to confirm it from Nanny. I hope she likes it.

I then looked at Ryan who was still playing.

He must be hungry. I am hungry too.

I stood up and asked him "Hey, you hungry? Should I bring something?"

Again, he shook his head.

UGH! This kid.

Then I heard his stomach growling.

Aww someone is hungry but still lying. "I'll just bring something for you."

I went down to get food for him. I made my way to the kitchen. I saw Maria working in the kitchen.

"Hey! Can I use the kitchen please? I had to make something for Ryan."

"Oh dear that's not your work. It's mine to do and Sir has strictly given me instructions to make food for Ryan."

"Okayy... then can you please just make something for Ryan. He is hungry."

"Did he say that to you?" She asked in surprise.

"Well not exactly but when his stomach growled, I figured that out."

"Oh. That's what I was thinking that boy does not talk to anyone. He is on his own all the time." She said while preparing the food.

"And why is that?" I asked I was really getting curious about this child.

"I don't know. He never says anything. He is just happy when Sir is with him and only talks to him."

"Oh." I really want to know the reason but who will tell me.

I don't have the courage to ask Mr. Parker. Embarrassment is killing me. Talking about Ryan. I don't think he himself is going to tell me.

Anyways I don't need to know. I'll just do my job and get the salary so that I can pay the rent and me and Nanny, we both can live a peaceful life. I think I shouldn't think so much about Ryan.

After the long boring day I came back home. I didn't meet Mr. Parker today even once. I really wanted to ask him something but he never showed up then how could I. And this question is killing me.

Nanny called me for dinner. I sat on the chair she served me my food and sat in front of me with her food.

"Nanny I was searching for an apartment and I finally found one. I think it's pretty good." Then I took my phone and showed her the picture. "See. This one."

She looked at it carefully. "Ya. It's good."

"Really! You liked it?"

"Yes Bella I liked it."

"Oh thank God! I'll go and talk about it tomorrow before going for work."

"Bella I am really sorry. For me you are facing so many troubles."

"Nanny will you stop blaming yourself. It's not your fault. By the way did I tell you that the guy who umm... took me to his place that night."

"Umm... let me think." She acted like she was busy in her thoughts. When I very well knew that she already knows which guy I am talking about."

"Oh! You mean the guy whom you gave your virginity to." She said smiling.

I glared at her at stabbed the fork on the table "Yes that guy."

"Oh this is gonna be fun to listen. What did he do? Did you meet him again? Oh Jesus! What did he say? Don't tell me you both did it again. Did you use protection? Oh and Did you-"

"Nanny will you stop. It's nothing like that. Actually now he is my boss."

"WHAT?" she shouted. "He is what?"

"Yes, he is my boss and can you imagine I slept with him. I mean I think I slept with him."

"You think. What does that mean?"

"Umm.. I don't remember anything clearly but I think we did that. Because the last memory that I remember I pulled him and he landed on top of me. I don't remember anything after that." I said again trying to remember that night.

"You pulled him? Damn Bella, you get horny when you are drunk and I thought you are too innocent for those things."

I again glared at her.

"You know the worst part. He has a kid. And that too very cute."

"Oh no. That's really sad. Still try you can have a chance with him."

"What? Are you crazy? Hell no! He is my boss."

"So what. Haven't you read that Boss and secretary books. Oh Bella there are so many. If that's possible then you and him too can have a chance for sure."

"I don't know why do I tell you everything. You only make the matter worse."

"Oh Bella! You are no fun. Just imagine how fun it would be if you and him start dating. Exciting, thrilling, loving. Oh my Jesus! I can imagine it right now."

"Nanny you haven't even seen him."

"So what, you have described about his features. I can imagine now."

I groaned in frustration.

She then continued again with her imagination "Don't disturb me when I am busy with my imagination, let's continue, then your life will take a turn. You will become mad in love then you will not be able to live without him, then both of you will get married then kids then another kid then happily ever after."

She finally completed with a big smile on her face. I stared at her blankly.

Is she drunk?

Do I need to take her to the doctor?

Does she needs to go to a mental hospital?

I got up from my chair and patted her shoulder "Umm... I think you should rest for a while."

"You think I am joking." She said seriously.

"Think? Of course you are. You have gone crazy."

"One day you'll agree to me. I am damn sure."

I rolled my eyes. "In your dreams."

"By the way I have made your favourite cookies take some to work tomorrow. Maybe you can eat those in your free time."

"Okayy..."
