Chapter 2) Being a nanny is harder than it seems
Ok, its official I have to give nannies everywhere extra credit for what they do.
"Sebastian! Ryan! Get back there!" I screamed out. They were running out naked, out of their bathtub.
"I mean it! Don't you guys dare run out of this flat naked! IT'S UNSANITARY!" I kept on yelling, but to no avail they were somewhere in this ridiculously big flat, naked. I was losing hope when I heard two tiny giggles coming form the laundry. I had them now.
Queque evil laughter, thunder and a hint of lightening - I've got keep it tasteful after all.
I ran in with an extra wide towel to cover up both of them. They didn't see me coming, I snuck up behind them and wrapped them up in the towel. They both squealed in shock.
"Bella! No fair!" I grinned at them.
"Yes, that was very fair boys." I replied to them easily as I ushered them out of the room.
"We've played cat and mouse all day, and its time to take a nap before dinner."
"Daddy said to never have a nap before dinner or else we won't be able to go back to sleep." Sebastian told me in an 'all knowing' voice.
"Well, Daddy isn't here right now it he? And he never told me anything, and besides you don't always have to follow the rules you know." I said back to them, as I picked out their PJ's from their closets. It was already seven thirty and Edward wanted dinner at eight, there was no way I could get it done that fast. I picked blue alien PJ's for Ryan and green dinosaur PJ's for Sebastian.
"Now boys put these on." I saw them try to get into their footsies by themselves Ryan managed but Sebastian had a harder time getting into the sleeves, actually he had it on backwards.
"Come here." He walked over and I helped him out, only a little because he was a big boy.
"If anyone asks, I did it all by myself, ok?" I grinned at him.
"But of course the little tike has a reputation to stick to, doesn't he?" He nodded and joined Ryan on the floor to play transformers? Oh well it didn't matter. I needed to get dinner started and I had no idea what to prepare. Did I even have the time to make a decent meal? I looked around his kitchen, Edward had to have a phonebook.
I searched around the flat looking for the phonebook, and then I found it in an awe inspiring moment, in the living room on a bookshelf, but of course. I looked through the D's for dominoes. I called the number and ordered one large cheese and pepperoni.
I put back the phonebook and saw the twin looked at me.
"What were you ordering?" Asked Sebastian curiously.
"Dinner," I answered them back.
"Well, whats for dinner?" Ryan asked me. His eyes blinking.
"Pizza," At that, they gasped and looked at the other.
At the exact same time they said,"we're telling daddy!"
"What?"
"We can't eat pizza," Ryan told me smartly.
"Yep, daddy says it's unhealthy." Sebastian said in a matter of fact voice.
I thought of this for a moment and then it hit me, "Wait the both of you have never had pizza?"
They nodded like there was nothing wrong with that.
"Then you will thank me later, trust me." They still looked unsure. I wanted to comfort them but like in any movie - or story the doorbell rang.
"We're still telling daddy," they said smartly.
I stuck my tongue out at them and they did the same to me. I greeted the pizza man and paid twenty one fifty. I glanced at the clock - seven fifty. I carried the pizzas to the kitchen table and set it down. Sebastian and Ryan followed my lead - closely.
"Well, boys time to get your first bite of pizza." I took out a slice of cheese pizza and handed them from that slice a small piece. They looked at their pieces closely and cautiously.
"Go on its not going to hurt, trust me, I'd never let any harm come to either of you." They nodded to the other. And they ate it, I looked at them and they looked at me. There was no mistaking the look in their eyes, they liked it.
"More!" They said at the same time.
I laughed.
"Sure, but first we have to throw out the boxes, don't tell daddy that I ordered pizza. If he thinks its unhealthy then he'll think it's unsanitary that I ordered it from a local pizza place. He asks anything tell him we made it ok? "
"OK! We promise!" They said at the same time again.
"Pinky promise?" I took out my pinky and they linked theirs to mine. We shook on it.
I'll keep you my dirty little secret.
"Ok." I said to myself. I looked for some plates for the pizza and for the twins.
"The plates are in the cupboard next to the fridge," I heard Sebastian say.
"Kay, thanks." I said, I took out six plates and handed two small ones to Ryan and Sebastian.
"Can we have pizza now?" Ryan asked.
"Hold on," I put down the plates, set the pizzas on the two widest plates, and quickly threw away the boxes. I hope Edward doesn't notice that.
"Ok boys how many pieces of cheese or pepperoni?"
"Two please!" They chorused while smiling at me.
"Cheese and pepperoni." They said at the same time again.
"Alright, here ya go." I handed each of them a piece of both, just as Edward entered the apartment. Sensing this they dropped their plates on the island and ran to Edward.
"DADDY!"
"Boys!" I walked out and saw Edward kiss and hug of them, before picking them up, and walk into the kitchen.
"Pizza?" Edward called from behind me.
"Yes pizza, anything wrong with that Edward?" I asked he didn't say anything but just shook his head.
"It isn't healthy."
"Sure it is, it has your four basic food groups let's see wheat as in bread, vegetables and fruit the tomato sauce, meat as in pepperoni, and milk as in the cheese. See perfectly healthy."
Sebastian nodded his nodded eagerly, "Bella's right, Daddy."
"Perfectly healthy," Ryan piped up. I saw Edward roll his eyes and look at the pizza in disdain.
"At least tell me that you made it." I held my breath please, Please.
"No Daddy, we made it." I sighed in relief at what Ryan said. He just arched an eyebrow and reluctantly took a piece and ate it. I took a piece as well and started to eat while leaning on the island. Ryan and Sebastian were on chairs eating their slices of pizza. I finished mine and was about to grab another cheese piece when I felt Edward's hand brush against mine I felt an electric shock shoot up my arm and quickly took my hand away.
He felt it took because he also retracted his hand, and shook his head for a second.
"You can go ahead."
"No, its fine, actually, I think I'll eat later." I got up and left, I saw Sebastian and Ryan looking back at me. I could still hear them eating and talking. I picked up my messenger bag from the floor and looked for my cell phone.
It read twenty missed calls. I checked to see who called, oh lord, I'm so dead, fucking Alice. I forgot about her. I deleted all of my voicemails. I quickly dialed her number waiting for her to pick up the phone and braced myself to hear her yelling.
She didn't disappoint,"Where have you been? I've been worried when I didn't find you at the airport I thought you were kidnapped, and I asked everywhere and they said you had gotten off fine, and you were fine and that you followed some guy! Where are you?" She was on the brink of hysteria. I felt bad for giving Alice so much trouble. She really didn't deserve a heart attack at the ripe age of twenty.
"Well…You see I couldn't spot you, so I decided to ask someone for help and then I bumped into this kid…And he thought that I was his nanny and then this guy hired me and then the real nanny showed up, but the kids didn't like her so I said, I was nanny and now I'm taking care of some guy's kids."
Silence.
"So, you're saying that you're now a nanny?"
"Yes,"
"To who?"
"To some guy named Edward Cullen." I heard her gasp.
"EDWARD CULLEN? YOU'RE watching over EDWARD CULLEN'S KIDS?"
"Yes."
"Do you even know who Edward Cullen is?"
"I know I've heard of him but,,."
"Bella, Bella, Bella, Edward Fucking Cullen is America's most wanted bachelor! And he's like super rich since he took over his father's company! And he's been named Forbes's hottest guy and his brothers tied in with him! How can you not know who he is! Do you know what you have gotten yourself into?"
"Oh so that's…Alice look I know you want me to quit but I can't, I just can't leave his kids and besides I'll still see you during class."
"But Bella! This was supposed to be our year!" She whined.
"I know but look I'll still be with you, we'll get coffee, go shopping, talk, you can play barbie dress up." Placating Alice was like placating a child.
"Yea, only you'll just be living with the sexist guy on the planet. Lucky bitch."
"Alice!"
"Will it make you feel any better if I tell you that as soon as I get a day off you can make a total Barbie out of me?"
"A little." A little was an understatement she sounded all happy and perky.
"Bella?"
"Yes, Alice?"
"You'll always love me first right?" I laughed.
"Of course, you're my number one."
"Good, because I was worried for a second. You are going to be in classes on Monday, right?"
"Yes, Alice I'll see you on Monday."
"Ok, and you also better let me meet Edward Cullen's cute twins one day."
"I promise - pinky promise, well Alice I have to go, I'll talk to you later ok?"
"Remember Swan, you break a pinky promise, you got to hell. Just call me later, and don't you ever dare scare me like that again!"
I rolled my eyes, "tootles."
"Tootles."
Then I hung up. I walked out to the living room and saw Edward, Sebastian, and Ryan playing Jenga. It was hilarious to see their facial expressions. They're foreheads were crinkled, their eyes were watching the tower, and each other's movements with sheer determination and concentration.
"Wanna play?" Sebastian asked me.
"Can she play daddy?" Chimed in Ryan.
"If she wants too."
"I'll play." I sat down in between Ryan and Sebastian, facing Edward.
"We all already went, so you can go." I smiled at Ryan. So damn cute.
"Ok." I gingerly picked off one of the top pieces and placed it down. Then it went on just like that mild conversation, everyone was focused on not being the one to make the tower fall. Then it fell.
Thank you Edward.
"Daddy look at what you did! You made the tower fall." Sebastian called out while laughing loudly.
"Yes, and its way past both of your bedtimes." He shot back, giving them pointed looks.
"But daddy!"
"I let you stay up an extra two hours, off to bed." He said simply, I glanced at the clock it read ten, eight was their bed time. They both reluctantly got up from the floor.
"Daddy?" Ryan mumbled.
"Hm?"
"Can Bella tuck us in?"
Edward looked surprised.
"Sure."
"Yay!" They cheered and each grabbed one of my hands leading me straight to their rooms. I took one look at Edward, he smiled at me. I smiled back at him. I first walked up to Sebastian's room picked him up, tucking him in tight. He smiled at me yawning.
"Bella?"
"Yes?"
"Can I have a kiss good night?" That request caught me off guard. My eyes widened for a split second.
"Its ok if you don't want to." He looked crestfallen for a moment. I smiled at him softly and kissed both his cheeks.
"Double kisses." I whispered to him.
"Night, Bella."
"Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite."
I picked up Ryan and walked over to his room.
"I get a kiss too, right?" He asked while looking at me.
"Of course you do." I told him. He smiled. I tucked him into his bed, he hugged me around the neck for a second before kissing my cheek. I leaned down and kissed both his cheeks.
"Good night Ryan, have nice dreams."
"You too, Bella." I walked out of his room and turned off the lights. I sighed and walked to the living room reading to pick up the fallen Jenga pieces. I was caught off guard to still see Edward there, he was picking up the game pieces.
"They like you – you know."
I smiled, "I guess."
"They haven't really liked any other nanny, I've hired as much as they like you."
"Well it's an honor, I guess."
"For someone who doesn't have nanny experience you seem to cope well with my kids, not many nanny's I hire stick long enough to get to know my children, they say - they are to rambunctious for their taste. What do you think about them?"
I shrugged my shoulders.
"They are a handful," I told him, my mind rewinding the days events, "But they are amazing kids with two unique personalities. Edward can I ask you a question?"
He looked at me.
"Sure, go for it."
"Well what happened to your wife?" His eyes glazed over. I thought maybe, I shouldn't have asked him that question.
"We divorced about two years ago, we never got along anyways, she held no interest for Sebastian or Ryan."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be, questions are meant to be answered." He glanced at his watch.
"Well, I have a meeting in the morning so I'll go off to bed now, good night Bella."
"Good night Edward."
He looked at me and then nodded after a second. I watched him walk off and soon disappear among the halls of the flat. I sighed and placed the lid on Jenga game. It wasn't long before I stalked off to my room, sluggishly slipping on my pjs before darkness took over.
Meanwhile
"Ryan!" I whispered into his ear while shaking him.
"Are you awake?" He pushed my hand away.
"Ryan!"
He only rolled over and tried to brush me away before finally opening his eyes.
"What?"
"What do you think about Bella?" That got him up.
"I like her, she's pretty! And nice too!"
"Me too, but I think daddy likes her."
"Me too, did you see him staring at her?"
"Yes I did." I responded to Ryan in a matter of fact tone.
"Maybe she could be our new mommy!" I heard him say that got me excited, I liked Bella.
"Yea, but for that - they have to get married first, stupid."
"Sorry, and I already knew that, but maybe if we make them spend time together."
"Maybe..."
"That just might work." I said finishing my brother's sentence.
"We have to plan don't we?" He asked me.
"Of course, but right now we have to go to sleep and then we can plan." I said
"Well, I was sleeping until you woke me up Bastian!"
"Sorry." I walked off to the door that I came from that joined our rooms together and as I went out I heard Ryan call out
"Good night."
"Night." I said back and got back in bed. If my and Ryan's plan worked then Bella could be our new mommy.
