The alarm went off, today was Friday so I just reached over and turned it off, smiling as I remembered what I had done yesterday, I sat up and rubbed my eyes to get rid of some of the sleep, I grabbed my mobile phone and saw I had a text from my boyfriend, Kendall.
"Kendall
Good morning pretty girl, how did you wake up?"
I smiled the second I saw it, but I wasn't going to answer him, I wasn't in the mood, maybe I'll tell him what happened when I get to school. shit! The babysitter. It wasn't long before my mum arrived to tell me to go downstairs to meet the bitter lady who will be my future babysitter, so I went to take a bath, I went out with some tight jeans, a loose grey blouse, a black jacket on top and some black vans, I was putting on some perfume when someone knocked on the door.
-I said loudly so he could hear me.
-Good morning," answered my mother, entering my room.
-Good morning mother," I answered, leaving the perfume on my dresser.
-Ready for school," she asked, sitting on my bed.
-Something like that," I said grabbing my backpack and putting it on one shoulder, "Ready," I said smiling.
-Well, I hope you're ready," said my mother.
-Ready for what," I thought for a moment, "Oh yeah, to meet my future nanny," I asked.
-Yes," said my mother, getting up from the bed, "I'll see you downstairs in five minutes.
-Okay, I'll be down in five more minutes," I said smiling and my mother left the room.
I finished fixing my hair, I was about to leave when I remembered that I didn't have today's timetable, so I went to where I had my books and I put the subjects that I had to do today, well actually I only put the ones that we had left homework days ago, because the others were in my locker, I put my backpack on my shoulder and I went down the stairs in the shape of a snail.
When I got to the top of the stairs I found Silvia who was on her back cleaning a piece of furniture.
-Where are my parents," I asked.
-In the living room, miss," she answered as she turned around.
-Thank you," I smiled.
I walked into the living room and heard my father's voice.
-_, she's a girl who likes jokes a lot and will always try to get...
-Good morning," I said, walking into the living room. Something in there didn't sit right with me, there was a person with his back turned, short hair, broad shoulders, is my babysitter a boy? I wondered mentally, or maybe they changed their mind and got me a back guard? That was worse, he wouldn't let me take a step because he would be behind me.
-Good morning," answered my father, looking at me attentively, "come closer," he said, or rather ordered me, I would never really know the difference. I approached until I was in front of him, he was still with his back to me talking to my mother who made a small movement with her head so that he would turn to see my father, I didn't pay attention to him because I was still focused on my father's serious look, but I saw out of the corner of my eye how my mother stood up-_, He will be your new nanny," said my father, putting his hand on the boy's shoulder, I turned to see him and I was mesmerized by his beautiful hazel eyes, tall, broad-shouldered, correct posture, he really looked like a model out of a magazine, I came out of the trance when he finally spoke.
-Maslow, James Maslow," he said in a thick voice. Yeah, I couldn't deny it, the guy's cute and he's got a sexy voice, but he doesn't compare to Kendall.
-Flowers, _ Flowers," I said trying to imitate his voice, but he didn't smile, in fact he didn't make any gestures, he just stood like a rock. So I decided to reach out my hand but I was very surprised that he didn't take it, so I just put it down.
-_," said my father catching my attention, "I'm sorry James, I told you it was a bit..." he thought to himself, "disrespectful.
-Don't worry Mr. Flores, I'm used to it," he answered as serious as before, did this boy not have feelings?
Wait, my father just said I'm disrespectful and he said so?
-James is 20 years old and a month ago he got out of the military..." spoke my father but I interrupted him.
-Wait... So you're in the military," I asked in complete disbelief, but the question was answered by my father.
-That's right, he will take you to school and pick you up and he will watch you here at home while we are at work, wherever you want to go James will have to go with you or else you won't go anywhere," my father finished saying.
-I'm not five years old," I said, somewhat serious and angry at the same time.
-From what your father has told me, you look like a two year old," said James.
-Well James, I'd love to know who asked your opinion," I replied with a murderous look on my face. Before he could defend himself, my father answered.
-_," he said looking at me coldly, "James will be working for us from now on, he's going to tell us everything you do or don't do, so you have to be more careful what you do or don't do.
-Really?" I said laughing loudly in a sarcastic way "From today I tell you father, I won't change my way of living just because a stranger tells you what I do, I'm already used to it and it doesn't affect me in the least, so if you think that with that you are going to make me more disciplined, you are wrong" I said while I crossed my arms, my mother and my father looked at me with their eyes wide open, James was just crossing his arms as well as me while he was shaking his head.
-I'm not asking you to be more disciplined, just to behave," he said defending himself.
-I know how to behave, father.
-It doesn't look like it," he said trying to hide his anger but he wasn't doing a very good job.
-I warned you, I will not change the way I am, I will continue to be "_ the problem girl"," I said while I moved my hands to give the impression that I was putting the letters on a sign. And I laughed at my comment and my thought.
-You can't do it with you, you're too stubborn," said my father already upset, I looked at him amused, that's what I wanted to achieve, to make him angry.
-I learned from the best! I spoke loudly, my mother just looked at the scene, James just looked at me with his eyes wide open and my father froze at the comment he just made - well, if there is nothing more to say or do - I looked at the time on my mobile - I think I'm getting a bit late for school, bye mother- I went over to give him a kiss on the cheek- bye father- I went over and squeezed his cheeks something that made him even more angry- see you in the afternoon- I said heading to the door- or maybe not- I said again while I laughed and made the "peace" gesture with my hand.
-What are you waiting for, go to her," I heard my father shout to James, "don't let her out of your sight for a second!
-Yes sir," James answered.
And then I heard him start to run after me.
-Wait miss," he said, but in his voice I didn't notice any kind of emotion, God, was this guy a robot, I turned around and stood in front of him and stopped him by putting my hand on his chest.
-James, I'm your boss's daughter, so when he's not around I'm your boss, right?
-Actually no, her father is the one who hired me so he is the one who gives me the orders," he said seriously.
-I can pay you double what my father pays you, how much does he pay you," I asked.
-I'm sorry I can't say, in fact your father told me that he would try to bribe me, so he made me promise not to tell him how much he pays me, apparently your father knows you very well, miss," he said looking at me seriously, I started walking to get to the car.
-No, it's not that he knows me, it's just that he's very smart, James," I said turning to him.
-Now I understand where you get your smartness from, miss," he spoke again, something that annoys me is when people call me "miss".
-I'm sorry, what are you talking about," I asked a bit confused.
-Your father told me everything you've done, and let me tell you, not every girl does it, in fact no girl I've ever met before," he said as he opened the car door for me.
-James, you must be very clear about something, I-am-not-just-any-girl, got it?" I said seriously, and one more thing, talk to me about you, I hate it when people talk to me about you.
-It will be a little difficult but I will do it.
All the way no one said anything, when the car stopped he was about to get out.
-What are you doing?" I asked him with a frown.
-I'm going to open the door for you," I looked at him seriously, "I'm going to open the door for you," he corrected, to which I just laughed, but he didn't make any gesture.
-It's not necessary, I can do it by myself, in fact I don't like to be opened the door, it's something so...-I made a disgusted face and then I laughed, he only looked at me seriously.
- You're a woman, you have to open the door for all women," he answered, ready to get off, but I stopped him by the arm.
-James, I'm not "all women"," I said and winked at him, "so forget about the stupid formality," I opened the car door and got out.
When I started to walk I heard a car door close, please don't let him come behind me: "pray", but my prayer was in vain because he was coming behind me, I looked back and saw that he was coming back adjusting his jacket and the girls were staring at him, I just rolled my eyes while I was adjusting my hair.
I was walking down the corridor, listening how the girls were sighing for James, I still don't know how they like him, he's handsome I can't deny it, but he doesn't compare to Kendall, I've been dating him for two years and it's been the happiest two years of my life.
-_- someone shouted. I turned around and met those green eyes that I love so much.
-Kendall," I said as I smiled stupidly. He came up to me and kissed me on the lips.
-How did it go yesterday with Cortez and your parents," he asked grabbing me by the waist.
-Fine," I said a bit discouraged.
-What happened, did they say something to you, I thought that the dic. was going to expel you.
-He was about to do it, but my father gave him money so he wouldn't do it, and here I am," I said smiling, "but this had a consequence," I said pouting.
-You got punished," he asked me with wide eyes, I just hugged him and shook my head, "so what happened, _ you're worrying me.
Kendall, always so cute, well not so much, he was the tough guy at school, he has tattoos on his arms and back (these are just some parts), and he had never been told anything at school, but even though he is the tough guy, he doesn't like to get in trouble because his mother doesn't have time to come to school and pay because she is always working, so I'm always the one with the jokes and all that.
-They called me "babysitter"," I said moving away from him so I could make inverted commas with my fingers.
-What?" he said laughing loudly, I tapped him on the shoulder, "Are you serious," he said still laughing.
- Yes, he is serious, in fact he has to accompany me everywhere I go," I said rolling my eyes and he just laughed again.
-Where is he?" he was still laughing, what was making him laugh so much, I pointed my finger in James' direction, he was looking at us with his arms crossed and around him there were 5 girls, as soon as Kendall saw him he stopped laughing and became serious.
