Worth The Risk?
Chapter 1: Me and My New Accommodations
My name is Michelle Marie Torres but you can call me Mitchie. I am 18 and attend the Los Angeles Arts Academy. The most prestige arts school of the United States. It was a long and hard road to get here but it was worth it as I am just about finished my last class of the school year, although it wasn't the happiest day of my life. I wasn't born into a rich family with money and everything I didn't have enough for my tuition this year. I worked day and night with my voice and singing was my passion, it is what I wanted to do with my life. I auditioned for this school when I was 17 in grade 12, still living in Washington. I fortunately got a full scholarship for my classes and my living accommodations for this year.
I am now walking along the paths back to my dorm to pack up my belongings but this summer was about to be different than all other summer vacations because I would be doing nothing like a vacation. I was unable to receive a full scholarship next year as they gave it to an ever deserving freshman I had received a half scholarship. But there was still much money needed so I was determined to get a good job this summer and be able to continue at my favourite school of all time and pursue my dream.
I had looked for jobs for a few months and recently just got a very good offer. I liked kids and always had back home and babysat for extra money and that was going to be my job for the summer a little more intense though. I am going to be a Nanny for one of the richest families in La. I had applied and got the job. My parents were upset that I wasn't coming home but understood why I was doing this. In 4 hours a car would be here to pick me up and bring me to the Gray's, the family I'm working for.
I have babysat before but becoming a nanny met a little more. It wasn`t that bad but I have to watch the kids and clean their rooms and probably more. They probably have servants that made meals and did laundry and I was a servant just waiting on the kids instead of the whole family.
Four hours later, I was done packing and now sitting in the car on the way to the house. We were outside of LA. Not really a small neighbourhood on the outskirts where celebrities and the riches live. I was blown away by all the houses, and it was unbelievable I would be in one soon. However no house blew me away the way the Gray's did as we pulled through the estates gate and the car drove up the cobblestone laneway and stopped.
I got out and gaped it was huge. It was a visible three stories. I have never seen a three story house but it was gorgeous with an amazing outer shell. I don't know how it was so beautiful but it was. It was 10 times longer than my house in Washington, no joke. It was probably that wide too. I hear my bags hit the cobblestone and turn around admiring the luscious green lawn and trees. I smiled knowing this was going to be a great summer.
The driver started with a couple of my bags towards the door as I grabbed the rest of them and made my way to the door as we entered. I walked in gaping within the foyer as a tall slim man came walking in with a smile on his face.
"You must be Mitchie" He spoke sticking his hand out "I'm Paul Gray"
I shook his hand and recognised he was my boss "Hi, nice to meet you" I said politely
"Well I'm glad you have arrived. Clarissa will show you to your accommodations out back, you will be staying in the pool house, with some privacy. You will then come in for dinner and meet the kids" He informed me
"Alright thank you" I said as he left into one of the many doorways.
An older later with blonde hair, pulled up into a pony tail, in a house keepers uniform ushered me to follow her as I did struggling to keep up with all my bags. We went through the kitchen and out into the backyard which looked like an oasis. There was a saltwater infinity pool and hot tub. There was a barbeque area that looked like the ones in the movies with bricks and all that jazz I felt like I was in a dream. I followed Clarissa forgetting admiring the back yard up three steps into a pool house. It was huge and it was mine, I think.
"Here you go, get settled and be back in the kitchen in an hour for dinner" She said disappearing down the hall with my bags then dismissed herself leaving, closing the 2 glass doors and walked back towards the house.
"Nice to meet you too" I said under my breath admiring the pool house.
I pulled the curtains closed that covered the door. The sun came through the windows which also had curtains it was definitely private and I loved it. The main room had two couches with a huge TV with game systems and it was decorated in natural tones. Off to the side there was a little kitchenette and I walked over to check it out. There was a full sized fridge which was stocked when I opened it. There was a stove, toaster, microwave and coffee machine. I opened cupboards realizing there was almost all the food imaginable even booze. Not that I drink but maybe I might have too if I have rough days. I laugh at my foolishness and head down the little hall that was visible. There was a closet and I opened the double doors realizing there was a washer and dryer with all the soap and stain remover I would need. I then walk into the first room which was a made up bedroom. It was painted a light green. There was a king size bed, a dresser, a desk, two night stands, and a walk in closet. I opened another door and it was a full on suite. It had a shower and a bathtub, like a Jacuzzi.
Wrapping my head around all of it I make my way down the hall to the second and last door opening it. I see my bags placed along it realizing this was my room. I was yet again in shock. I was definitely liking this gig already. It was purple and red my favourite colours. The bed was king size with red comforters. The walls were a dim purple. There was a gorgeous window that let the sun pour in. I smiled realizing I had two night stands, a desk and a dresser as the other room. It all smelled freshly clean as well. I opened the first door which was a walk in closet, bigger than the other with spots for my things, things that I didn't have. One day I am going on a shopping spree with my pay check. I opened the door to another on suite. It had all the same as the other with marble counter tops and a pure white shine. I closed the door and sat on my bed looking out the window. This was definitely going to be worth it. I looked into a full size mirror that was standing in the corner realizing I should change for dinner. I opened my one bag that held semi-formal and formal wear. These people were fancy so I was going to dress up to meet Mrs. Gray and the kids.
I changed into a black skirt that flowed to my knees. I put my white belts around my hips and slipped on a white tank top. I let my hair down ran a brush quickly through it and tied the loose curls into a messy bun. I retrieved my lip gloss from my purse and applied a fresh coat onto my lips.
One thing you need to know about me. I may not be rich and have a lot but love what I do have. I have decent clothes that I can pull off and I look after myself. I have a laptop and cell phone I worked for and happy with it. Everything I have I earned. I may not be rich but my belongings tend to be. I am no rich snob, but I will fight if you try to take my things that I worked my ass off for so don't cross my limits, other than that I am very friendly.
I grab my one bag removing silver hopes placing them in my ears and silver bangles sliding them onto my right wrist. I look at the clock on the wall realizing I have 5 minutes. I remove my clean white flip flop sandals and slide my feet into them. My anklet now glittering off the sun light in the room. The anklet was my moms and she gave it to me so she would always be with me. It was real diamonds her mom had got for her and I treasure it with my life. I do everything with it on even swim and shower it is part of me and I never remove it as it can't tarnish.
I look at myself in the mirror then quickly leave the pool house closing the door behind me walking through the back yard and into the kitchen. I still can't get over the backyard I will explain more when I'm done here. I see the staff bustling around the Kitchen and I notice Clarissa calling me over and I make my way through the door into an extravagant dining room. There was a fine cherry wood big table with two chandeliers dangling above it lit up. There were 8 fine chairs with 8 places set. I didn't know how many people were in the family but I was soon to find out. Clarissa told me to sit so I did on one of the side chairs at a place setting.
Soon sitting across from me was a slightly older lady who I realized was another nanny. She introduced herself as Allison. She sat across from me beside two twin girls. There was a little boy who sat at the other end chair where I was sitting. Within a minute or two Mr. Gray looking sharp came in holding hands with a gorgeous woman, who I guessed immediately was Mrs. Gray and I was correct. They both sat down at the ends and dinner was served. We said grace and started eating. I was surprised and how the kids eat everything on their plate and very politely, this might be easier than I thought, or so I hope.
"Mitchie have you found your accommodations suitable so far?" I heard Mr. Gray's voice speak
"Yes, very much so, thank you" I said politely
"Mitchie it is very nice to meet you I am Anna Gray, you can call me Anna" She smiled
"Nice to meet you as well" I said
"I feel you will have no problem fitting in, you are very polite and we are very thankful" She said
"Thanks, and this is amazing" I smile
"Alright well since we are finished we will introduce the kids and as they get up to bed we will talk about your specific job description" Mr. Gray says and I agree
"First Allison is the night time Nanny who lives in the wing with the children. She takes care of them when you are done your shift until bed and early in the morning before you start.
"Josh is 8 and he loves doing many different things. He is interested in sports and loves the outdoors Mrs. Gray says mentioning the boy not far from me
"Hi Josh" I say politely
"Hi!" He says enthusiastically "You're pretty"
"Thanks" I say giggling and Mrs. Gray continues.
"The twins are both 4, Emily and Nicole. They love to play with dolls and dress up. They also swim daily"
"Alright, Hi girls" I smile noticing they each where a necklace with their initials, at least I can tell them apart.
"Hi" They both say a little shyly
"Alright off to bed you three" Allison says standing up as the kids leave the room "goodnight" She says and leaves and Mr and Mrs Tyler dismiss her.
After another hour in a half I just got back into my pool house with a folder of paper in my hands. I head to my room placing it on my desk looking for my pyjamas. First I will explain the backyard well I search through my bags. The pool was awesome same with the barbeque pit and the poll house but there was more. There was a gorgeous patio and a gazebo covered in vines on the other side of a creek with a little bridge. There was a rock man made waterfall beside the pool. Anyways I found my pyjamas and now getting dressed. I changed into my silky pyjama pants and a tank top crawling into my bed. I curl up closing my eyes. I would look at the papers tomorrow as I don`t start until the day after. Emotions were almost over whelming though. I was intimidated, scared, nervous, excited and happy. It was weird but if this is what I have to do to live my dream I will.
