Chapter 2
.It was a couple of days later. I've been waiting on a text or a call from Anastasia to see if I got the job, I've been so stressed. This job is paying a lot and I have the opportunity of living in such an amazing house, I really hope I get it.
I recently lost my job so I don't have any more income, I'm running behind on my rent so I might be evicted soon, I'm running out of food, life has been a struggle lately.
I was in the kitchen making myself some food.
My phone started to ring, l picked it up and saw that Anastasia was calling "Oh my god, this is it!" I answered the call.
"Hello, Anastasia."
"Hello Ms. Jones, I'm calling to fill you in about the decision for the job. I've decided to go forward with you, Your resume was magnificent, your answers were incredible, and Rose loved you; She wanted you to come back. So congratulations."
"Oh my god, thank you so much for the opportunity! I really appreciate it." I smiled.
"Of course. I will be sending a driver to come pick you up so just let me know when you're ready to move in."
"Okay, thank you."
"Of course, See you soon."
"See you soon." I hung up the phone.
"I got the job!" I squealed and jumped up and down. I couldn't believe that I got the job, I was so excited.
"I need to pack!" I grabbed my suitcases out of the closet and began packing up all my clothes, shoes, makeup, etc.
The sooner I move in the sooner I can start getting paid, and start living a way better life.
I spent the next few hours packing up everything that I owned. I brought my stuff downstairs and set it in front of the door. I shot a text to Anastasia letting her know that I'm ready to be picked up.
I sent Sam a text letting her know that I got the job, and she immediately started texting back.
Sam: Congratulations babe! I'm so happy for you!
Maya: Thank you. I'm packing up everything so I can head there now.
Sam: Well I hope you get there safely, I love you.
Maya: I love you too.
Sam: I'm gonna call you later when I'm off work so you can fill me in.
Maya: Okay.
I slipped my phone into my pocket then checked and made sure I had everything. I'll just have to send a moving truck to pick up the rest of my furniture.
About 30 minutes passed, and Anastasia sent me a text letting me know my driver was arriving in a few minutes. I grabbed my suitcases and dragged them out the door. I brought it onto the elevator and then pressed the first floor. Once I got downstairs I dragged my suitcases outside and waited for the driver to arrive.
A few minutes later the driver arrived, he stepped out "Hello ma'am, are you Maya Jones?"
"Yes, I am."
"Let me help you with these bags." He popped open the trunk then grabbed my bags and put them inside.
"Thank you so much." I got into the backseat, and he got back into his car and then drove off.
The car ride to the house was peaceful and quiet, and all I could think about was how much I'm gonna enjoy this. But I have to remember there's only one reason why I'm going there, to take care of Vincent's child.
After a while we arrived at the house, I stepped out of the car and the driver stepped out too. He popped the trunk and grabbed my luggage for me.
"Thank you." I grabbed my things and walked to the front door and knocked.
Anastasia opened the door "Hello Ms. Jones, come in."
I dragged my stuff inside "I just wanna say thank you again for the opportunity, I'm grateful."
"You're welcome. This was a hard decision considering there were plenty of other candidates but I liked you the most and obviously Rose liked you, so please don't screw this up."
"I promise I won't."
"Okay good." She smiled "Follow me, I'll show you to your room."
"Okay." I grabbed my things and followed behind her, We walked down a hall and past the kitchen, she stopped in front of this room and I walked inside.
"Wow." I was amazed.
"I tried my best to get everything right for you, you're also the only one with a room on the first floor."
"Thank you, this room is beautiful."
"You're welcome, I'm gonna leave you to get your stuff put away. You can come find me in the living room when you're done." She turned and left.
I laid back on the bed "Ahhh, I can get used to this." A smile crept across my face.
I stood and took my coat off and hung it up, I grabbed my suitcases and brought them inside my room and started putting everything away into my dressers.
Once I was done I left my room and found Anastasia in the living room, I sat down.
"So Rose is at school right now, She gets out at 3 pm but I'm gonna go pick her up. When she gets back all you have to do is cook lunch and dinner for her, help her out with her homework, just easy stuff for your first day."
"Okay, I got this."
"Good, so for now you can just relax until she gets back home. Enjoy the house, you can look around if you want; I'm gonna go handle some business so I'll be back in about an hour." She left the house.
"Leaving me alone in this big ole house?" I stood back up and started walking around the house checking every place out. I checked out the kitchen, all of the bathrooms and rooms on the first floor, and the backyard which had a big pool and a jacuzzi. I walked back inside the house and up the stairs, There were about five bedrooms up there. I was debating on whether or not I should check out the rooms. I really wanted to see Vincent's room, just to see how he lives.
I walked down the hall to the double-door room "I'm guessing this room is his." I opened the door and looked inside. His room was very nice and neat, I don't know why I was expecting it to be messy; Probably because he's a guy. His room seemed pretty normal so I exited it.
"Stop being nosy before you get fired already." I said to myself. I went back downstairs and into my room, I laid back and watched some TV.
*************************************
It was a couple hours later, I was in my room when I heard the front door open and close. I stood and walked outside my room, It was Anastasia with Rose.
"Hey there Rose." I said with a smile.
"Maya!" She ran over to me and hugged me.
"How was school?"
"School was fun, look what we did!" She dug into her backpack and pulled out a portrait that she drew of flowers.
"Aw, it's so pretty." I grabbed the portrait to get a better look at it.
"Thank you." She grabbed the picture back.
"Rose, Maya is going to help you with your homework before Lunch."
"Okay." She sat down in the living room and I sat down next to her. She pulled her homework out of her backpack and I began helping her with it.
"So what's 2+2?"
"Four."
"And 5+5?"
"It's..." She counted on her fingers "10"
"Very good. Now 7+3?"
"It's 10."
"What's 5-3?"
"It's 2."
"Last question, 10+10?"
"It's 20."
"Good." She wrote down all the answers then we continued with her ELA homework.
"Now you just have to write a sentence with the word like."
"Okay."
She started jotting down then said the words out loud "I like food and pets"
I laughed "Okay, the next sentence has to have the word fly."
"I wish that I could fly anywhere." She said and jotted it down.
"I think that's all." I looked through the other pages, everything was done "See, that was pretty easy."
"Thank you, Maya."
"Of course."
She grabbed her book bag "Anna, I'm done!" She ran up the stairs.
I stood and walked into the kitchen, I looked through the fridge and freezer for something to cook for lunch and dinner.
"Hey, Rose just told me that her homework is done, thank you for helping her with that." Anastasia walked into the kitchen.
"Of course."
Rose came running back downstairs "Rose, stop running in the house." Anastasia said.
"Sorry."
"It's fine, what do you want for lunch so Maya can prepare it?"
"Can I have a sandwich?" She sat down at the dinner table.
"What kind of sandwich?" I asked.
"Honey turkey, mayo, cheese, and lettuce please."
"Okay, coming right up." I grabbed the bread, meat, mayo, cheese, and lettuce and started making her sandwich.
"So, where is Mr. Miller? Will he be joining us for lunch or dinner?" I asked.
I know I'm here for a Job, but I just had to meet this man.
"He won't be joining us, he has an important business trip that he's on right now and won't be back for a few days."
"Oh, okay."
"Don't worry, he'll be back home soon and you'll meet him. I'm gonna go handle some work, are you gonna be fine?"
"Of course." I smiled.
"Okay good, thank you." She walked off.
"Can I have ice cream and cookies after?" Rose asked.
"You can have some after dinner if Anastasia lets you."
"Okay."
I made her sandwich and set it down in front of her "Thank you." She started eating.
So far everything is going fine, I've only known Rose for a little while but she's already an amazing little girl. This will be the easiest job ever.
