The Rough Road

Chapter 1: The Perfect Nanny

Rosalie:

Boing! Boing! Boing! I could see James from my window bouncing a ball. He was so cute at 6 years old. Simply adorable. Suddenly, the bouncing stopped and I couldn't see James anymore.

"Oh my god!" I ran down the stairs and out the door. Once I was outside I started looking for him.

"James!" I called out.

"Excuse me." A sweet voice behind me said. I turned to see James with a woman who had fiery red hair and piercing blue eyes.

"Hi. I'm Victoria. Your son's ball rolled into the street and he ran after it. I stopped my car and walked him home. He really is an amazing boy." She smiled. For some reason this lady, Victoria, seemed perfect. Emmett and I were in need of a nanny for James. I don't know if she'll go for it, but she might.

"Would you like to come in for coffee?" I asked politely. She smiled and nodded. She seemed nice enough, I noted. Victoria was very pretty too.

"So, what do you do for a living?" I asked her. She sipped her coffee.

"Um, actually I'm a babysitter." She responded. I grinned inwardly.

"My husband and I are in need of a nanny, would you mind being ours?" I was hopeful. She seemed to consider it and looked at James who was watching Spongebob.

"Sure." She agreed.

"Great! Just let me get my husband." With that, I went upstairs to get Emmett.

Victoria:

I had been looking for an 8 year old boy, Seth, when James ran into the street. At the moment I had thought where the hell were his parents? I took him home and now I'm being offered a job. Wow. He laughed and it was the most amazing thing I have ever heard in my life. The woman was back now with her husband. He was fit, and had dark hair. He was totally hot. Focus Victoria; keep your eyes on the prize…

Rosalie:

I saw Victoria take in Emmett and I turned to examine his expression. He gave her a polite smile then looked at me. Emmett and I took a seat from Victoria.

"Well, I'd love to know your names first of all." Victoria flashed a grin at Emmett. But he didn't seem at all interested in her which satisfied me.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I am Rosalie Cullen and my husband Emmett Cullen." I finished while Victoria stared at Emmett.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Rosalie," Victoria looked at me then at Emmett again, "Emmett." She smiled sweetly at him.

"So we'd love to have you be James' nanny," I said.

"But we'd also liked to think about it. Thank you for returning our son." Emmett replied, saying something for the first time throughout our whole conversation. Victoria looked at him and nodded.

"Yes, well here's my number and your very welcome…"Victoria trailed off. I let her out.
