Stephanie POV
I don't know what to wear for the interview, I don't want to overdress, but I don't want to look like a homeless either, ugh! It's so hard to choose, it's Hollywood hills after all, they must be picky, I'll just go with this.
I picked up some skinny jeans, with a simple white blouse and some short brown heels, it looks ok for the occasion, I gave a twirl in front of the mirror and I approve my outfit.
Oh no my phone is ringing… I need to hurry up, hope it's not important.
Becca…? I talked to her yesterday, must be important after all.
"Hi Becca, everything's ok?" She gave a squeak that I had to take the phone out my ear, damn!
"Everything is more than fine! Shawn yesterday gave me a commitment ring; we are serious on this" He what?!
"You for real? I mean you're sure about that?" I had to put on speaker, so I could finish myself to get out.
"Yes, it feels right after all this time, we are two adults to make a decision, I grew up a lot these past months"
"If it's what you want, I'm happy for you, you know I just want your happiness"
"I know and you know I appreciate you a lot, and that's not all" If she's pregnant as well it's going to be a lot to take in.
"Are you pregnant?" She could rise a baby, she works as well, and Shawn has money, but still.
"No! Far from it, yesterday I went to the hills girl!"
"What?! How?! Are you chasing some celebrity? We've talked about that before, I don't need to pick you up again from the police station" Yes she was obsessed with Justin Timberlake till one day he reported her because she was always going up his house, crazy? Yes, no doubts.
"Steph I'm done with those things, although I still wouldn't mind to get a piece of that JT" I thought so.
"Then how do you get there?" I was finishing put my earrings and I would be out in a minute
"Shawn's best friend lives there, he wanted his family to meet me, so we dined on his house, he has such a huge house, and has a little kid and his wife… oh shit…" HIs wife oh shit?
"It's them…" I'm not understanding shit of what she's saying.
"Them what? Explain yourself" Meanwhile I was on the uber app calling one to take me to the hills, but still have her on speaker.
"Your interview it's with them" She lost her mind
"Sure… with so many people there it would be a huge coincidence"
"I'm serious Steph, His wife's name is Wendy, they have a 3 month old baby boy, his name is Adam, they both work for American Airlines, he's a pilot and she's an flight attendant, see the details" I got downstairs and out of the door waiting for the uber, it's saying he's one minute away, so I put off speaker.
"It can't be, where are the odds of possibly working on your boyfriend best friend house? That would be weird, me taking care of the house and wondering around like I don't know you if you go there again, which for sure you will"
"I don't know but I can see it happen, by the way… he's hot as fuck, body of a Greek god, and really nice guy, take on upon him, Shawn was telling me that his wife is a bitch and doesn't know how he's with her still, if you kept him it wouldn't be awkward, with would be family all together"
"Wait a minute I'm on the uber… yes Hollywood hills" I told to uber driver.
"Oh, you're going now, you're going to tell me after the interview how much I was right"
"First of all, I don't know if I'm going to be admitted, second I wouldn't ever sleep with my boss, and third he's rich af just because of the fact he lives where he lives" The uber driver was looking at the on the rear mirror with a funny look and I got embarrassed because it sounds like I'm a maniac.
"Whatever you say, I'll let you be in your own world, tell me if you got the job girl, good luck!"
"Thank you, I'll tell you for sure" And I hung up.
After some minutes we arrived at the entry gate, this looks like a castle of kings and princesses, I just hope I won't be the leftovers.
"Damn lady, this is quite a nice place you coming in"
"I hope I get lucky on my interview" Just hope…
"God luck for you, and I'm sorry to tell you this but I couldn't help and hear your conversation, and I want to give you an advise, if you like the person just make sure she knows it, don't hide, doesn't matter if it's your friend or best friend or even your boss, because you might regret it in the future, you're going to think how could it be, but you don't have the chance anymore after, I've done that mistake and I regret it, so I just want to tell people so it won't happen the same thing to them, everyone deserves to be happy" Wow, so thoughtful.
"That was very deep, thank you I will have that in thoughts" I got out of the car and rang the bell outside.
"Hello?" A deep man voice was on the speaker, I was almost sure I heard this voice somewhere else.
"Hi, I'm Stephanie, I'm here to do an interview with Mrs. Wendy"
"Yes! Come in" a small gate door was opened; I'm not used to this fancy things.
I walked on a rock path that was leading to an open door with two people on it, and I don't believe what my eyes are watching, it's him! The guy I dropped the eggs on Target, I can't believe this is happening to me, I want to dig a hole and hide inside it.
As soon as I approached them, they were smiling to me.
"Hello Stephanie, how are you? I'm Wendy and this is my husband Paul" I can't believe they're the people Becca talked about, it's more than confirmed, I don't know what to expect more of this
"And I'm Paul, I'm sure we met already on Target yesterday" Why did he had to bring it up.
"I'm good thank you, and I'm still sorry for ruining your outfit" He chuckled.
"No worries, come on in and let's all have a seat" I followed Wendy, and Paul was right behind us after closing the door, I'm not being polite on my mind but of course I'll treat them politely.
After walking some corridors, we ended up in an office full of books and vintage décor with a couch a desk and three chairs, one on the front and two on the back.
"You can sit, be our guest" Technically I am.
I sat down as Wendy demanded, the two sat in front of me with some papers in front of them.
"So Stephanie McMahon… as I'm seeing in your profile…, tell me something more about you than what you sent to us" Paul spoke all laid down on the chair with his legs traced, I thought he would be more what he represents, most of bosses are all straight up.
"My life is pretty much what I sent in, I'm 21, I finished college one week ago, I was working in a bakery while I was studying, night part-time, I decided I wouldn't get much profit from it so I decided to look out for something else, and I like this job, to be around children and do some cleanings" They were looking at me really attentive, I'm feeling over watched.
"Very well, you live on your own? Have children?" Wendy was the one asking now.
"Yes, I'm single and don't have any children, so schedules wouldn't be any problem"
"That's really good because there would be days you need to sleep here, as you don't know but Paul is a pilot and I'm a flight attendant so we spend days we won't come home, and the days that one of us are here we will need help to manage everything, so those days you would need to stay as well" Stay in this house? I'm in!
"I understand, very difficult jobs, my brother is a flight attendant as well, he's barely home, and have 2 kids and a wife" She looked at me intrigued.
"Oh really? What company does he work on?"
"United Airlines, they going on big these days for what he tells me"
"Yeah, always a competition but everyone wins in the end, there's market for everyone" Paul untraced his legs and they were opened now, he's the definition of how to feel like home.
"But back to you Stephanie, tell me more in detail your experience with children and with cleanings" Wendy spoke.
"I took care of two of my cousins since newborns, so I have home experience, I'm confidant on my skills, I think what's more important is the gift that you born with, they're woman that live with the gift of having skills and desire to have baby's there's other's that not much, like fathers, some have the gift other's don't"
"Well that's what I'm talking right there, doing things with passion, that's why my baby is so pretty" He didn't say that… Wendy looked at him and slapped him on the head.
"Will you behave?" I actually thought it was funny.
"A little joke doesn't hurt anyone woman" I'm just quiet on my corner.
"Moving on, I'm sorry for his big mouth"
"It's ok, as I was telling, that's the reason I want this job and for the cleanings I don't have experience, just on my own apartment, but it's not hard to clean a house, and my family had a dog so I can take care of it as well" I just want the job.
"Do you have any diseases, like STD's, health problems?"
"None, I'm all healthy"
"And a final question, do you live nearby or have transport?"
"I live in the suburbs and I don't have a car, so I took a uber to get here today, there's no problem on that, my life is made on taking buses or uber's"
"I used to live on the suburbs as well! Where do you live exactly?!"
"Pasadena, Rosemead Boulevard 6825" He straight up, not believing in what I said.
"You're my mom neighbor!? There's where I grew up! Unbelievable!" Now I'm the one who's not believing.
"You're Patricia's and Paul son?! Who knew! They're excellent people, I mean I'm sorry for your mom, she will get through this hard time" His parents are so sweet but unfortunately his mom and her cancer are taking a lot of quality life.
"Yeah it's life, it appears when anyone isn't expecting, and you're the nice girl, they always telling me you help them a lot when they need something, and I want to thank you for that"
"It's nothing, really! I like to help them, they helped me a lot before, in the beginning of getting the house there, and I know your sister lives in the other side of the country" I don't think his wife is liking this interaction between us two, she looks so annoyed.
"I told them about the eggs because I was shopping groceries for them, wait till they know who it was" I covered my face with my hands.
"Oh no! Don't you dare!" I'm liking this dude, he's so chilled, I wouldn't mind working for him for sure.
"Only… If you accept this job… I like you, you're young and you seem humble, an environment I want my baby to live in, what do you think Wendy?"
"Yes, I would like to see you around first, how is your work method, let's give you a house tour first of all then we get down to the real business of signing papers" I can't believe I did it! I'm fangirling so much inside right now.
"And the most important of all… meet the king of the house and the four-leg king of the house" Said Paul, the love he has for this baby must be unconditional, we can see his face lit up when he talks about his son.
"Yes, we can't forget that!" We all got up and I followed them to the entry.
"So let's start from here, this is the entry as you know, we have the alarm here, every time we go in and go out we turn off and on, but with the baby we decided to leave on 24 hours for precaution, we will give you the password just in case"
"Next we have the living room, nothing much to know about it, then we go in front, we have the kitchen" We were walking as she was explaining.
"You can do all the food you want, tell me what you want us to buy and we will do it, Henry's food is in the cabinet under the sink" She pointed out.
"And there he is" A Jack Russel was standing outside on the grass looking inside.
Paul closed the kitchen door, and went to the garden door so the dog could come inside.
"What a cutie! You're so pretty" I pet the dog as he was jumping on my legs, he's really friendly.
"He used to sleep with us but after the baby was born he's been sleeping on his own bed here on the kitchen, during the day we let him outside where we have the yard with a pool, come and see" I followed Paul outside, and they have such a green yard, a big one, I look at my left and a rectangular pool was built in the ground.
"Picking up the leaf's is a job of mine as well, or the gardeners will do it?" They must have one, I mean…
"Yes, we have a gardener, so you don't need to worry about the yard, just the inside" I took a couple more minutes of looking around, then we went inside again.
"Go boy, go outside" Henry went running freely outside and Paul closed the yard door.
"So far so good Stephanie?" Wendy asked me.
"Yes, sure it's a bigger house than I'm used to but everything will be done"
"Upstairs we have 4 rooms and 3 bathrooms, then the third floor is the attic where we have all our stuff as in Christmas décor, and some other junk that might be necessary one day" we left the kitchen and on the right side there was a corridor, the same one that leads somewhere to the office, in got on the corridor and on our right there was some stairs, we all went up and there was all the doors one in the very end and 3 on each side, and some portraits hanging on the walls.
"Oh my, Patricia has the same exact picture on her house" There's a picture of Patricia and her husband with their son on a body building contest, now I know Paul is that boy, she told me the history behind the picture, and the fact that he only had a man thong on.
"Yes, she has, it was the day I won a contest of body building on a center on my town" He smiled, maybe he's remembering the day.
"Paul right here has the body of a angel, so he can win in every single way" Then she started to pass her hand over his arms, she's weird, a while ago he made a joke she almost ate his head off, now she's almost molesting him in front of me, of course not real molesting because they're married but you understood.
"That's what she said!" My face was far from thinking it was funny, and he understood it, so he pushed her a bit away and composed himself.
I can't lie, I've been watching him a lot and I do think he has such a good body, his figure is so broad and his deep voice is a really sexy voice on my opinion, but it's one more man to look at, there's some better than the others, I think his wife his feeling threated in some way.
"Moving on, so this three doors on the right are the 3 of the 4 rooms and the one in the end is our room, we can begin for that one, so you can meet Adam already" We walked till the end of the hall and when he opened the door and I was mesmerized by my sight , the room is so big, the bed was on the center of the room between two huge windows covered by light brown curtains, two nightstands on each side of the bed, a door on the left side wall and another one on the right side wall, some furniture as décor and more importantly a crib on the left side of the bed, the room had a baby smell mixed with musky wood smell, I would stay here 24 hours.
"I think he's sensing us" Paul said, because we could hear the baby squirm, and oh boy if I know that noise, it's always following by screams that can break your eardrums.
Wendy went quickly to the crib and picked him up, Paul was surprised, I could see on his face of how fast she was going, this is some weird family…
"There, there Adam, I'm here" and she was shacking the baby a bit too fast on my opinion, and the way she talks with him, not with much love I would say.
Funny thing, he's not quieting down, and mothers are supposed to be the ones do it better than anyone else.
"Paul, take him, he might want you" Or he might want to eat…
"Why don't you let Stephanie hold him? So, she can meet him properly"
"Yes, take him" She went to me faster than flash itself and handed me the baby like it was some hot potato.
"Hello there little one, I'm your new nanny, we going to get along just fine" I was balancing him slowly, and surprisingly he was toning down his crying.
Paul POV
My reaction when I saw the girl that was going to do the interview was Oh no, it's the egg dropper, but as we continued to talk I changed my mind completely, she's such a nice girl, she might be young but sure has some maturity with her already, she has every answer on the tip of her tongue, and I like that, people that are confident and are sure of what they doing, and I'm not going to lie that I looked at her a couple of times, as in other than her face, she's a really well built woman for her age, the definition of a hot nanny for sure, but I'm sure it's ok to look even if married, I mean… I'm not blind! When we met back in Target I didn't payed much attention. But I guess her way of being as a person changed that, it took me another way of seeing her.
And she's great with the baby, the way she talks to him, holds him, it's a hard thing to say but I think Stephanie has more passion on babies then my wife, as in particular my child, she could talk sweeter then Wendy on these 3 months, there's this other thing, we always fed him on the bottle because she doesn't like the feeling of breastfeeding, she did it on the nursery but at home she always uses a pump and we put the milk on the bottle with a tiny nipple to his mouth, but at the same time it's going to be easy for Stephanie to feed him because he's used to the bottle.
And where are the odds of her living next to my mom? It's really amazing how the world is small, and talking about that I'm going to call her to tell her the news, I'm going to have a little fun with it, so when my mom talks to her she can tell her she knows already and mess with her.
"Hello Son, so happy to talk to you today" She said after two rings.
"Hello Mom, how are you? How was the treatment?"
"Today was rough, they added up a quarter of the normal dose, I'm feeling really weak today" I hate when she feels like this but I know it's normal during this process.
"I'm so sorry mom, you know I would make you better if I could"
"I know son, but everything will be alright, I feel supported and loved by you all, and how my grandchild is doing? I can't wait to see him face to face"
"He's doing great, getting big like his dad, and I know mom but the time will come, right now I want you both out of this screwed up environment"
"Yes, it's really bad pollution around here, I only go to the ambulance and get out of it when they pick me up and drop me home for the treatments"
"Well mom I have something that I'm shore it will sheer you up" I'm excited by her reaction.
"Do tell! Don't tell me she's pregnant again? Please not that! I mean I will be thrilled by having another grandson or granddaughter, but not with her, she's bad news" See what I say? Even my family don't like her.
"No mom, she's not pregnant but in the future, you know I will want one more at least"
"Yes, maybe at that time you won't be with her anymore, I'm sorry son, I want your happiness but she's no woman to make a man happy"
"Ok mom, let's get into the good news, I just hired your neighbor as my housekeeper and nanny" I heard her gasp on the other side on the line.
"No! You didn't! You hired Stephanie?!"
"Yes I did, and guess what?"
"There's more coming?"
"Yes, and she's the one that dropped the eggs on me yesterday, when I went to your house"
"What?! This is a lot to take in" Then I heard her call my dad to tell the news as well, I can see she's thrilled about it.
"I know right?! We started to talk about her living there and I said I grew up in it, and conversation with more conversation I found out that"
"Paul, treat her right, she deserves it, she's a good girl, don't go hard on her on being bossy, which I know you wouldn't but I'm just warning in advance, and advise that wife of yours to chill down on her demands and be nice to her because I know how she can be"
"I know Mom, I understood she's a great person, and I'm going to valuate her, I know I'm going to have a little conversation with her, because I have the notion how sometimes she can be"
"If you weren't married, I would say for you to keep Stephanie, she would be a great person for you, she's pretty, polite, mature, I totally think she's your type" I think the treatments are affecting her head.
"She's 21 and I'm 33, I'm married and have a child, I'm not going to droll over my new employer, let's not cross boundaries here"
"Of course, but the fact of her being younger doesn't mean anything, and I was just saying in the case of you being free in life, but if one day you decide to quit your marriage you have my blessing and your dad's to get together with her, and oh my! I'm going to pick on her so much because of the eggs" I could pull out a laugh from her.
"I will have that in mind, and don't go that hard on her, I don't want her to be pissed the first day she will work here"
"Don't worry son, we go along very well, we know each other too well by now, we call each other mother and daughter, it feels like it you know? She's helped me and your dad so much, even when she was in school busy or working, she would always have time for something we would need, I'm really grateful for her being here close to me" My heart is melting with my mom story, I knew she helped them but not with so much effort.
"I didn't think that she was that kind"
"And secretly… just here for us two… every day she comes and asks me if I'm feeling well, after the treatments"
"Wow… I just can say there's still good people on the world and I'm grateful as well, I won't talk to her about this conversation of ours, but I'll shore keep this in mind"
"Sure, do! It was nice talking to you son, this made my day brighter for sure, in a bit she's going to be here because it's her routine by now then I'll talk to her as well"
"Okay mom, I trust you, see you, love you, send a big hug to dad as well" How I miss my dad, he works occasionally and when I happened to go there, he's not there.
"I will, love you too!" And she hung up, uff what a great conversation, I got to know her more, who's better than my mom to give me a feed back of my future housekeeper, we made the right choice to hire her, I felt that from the moment we started the interview.
We showed her the rest of the house and the room where she's going to sleep when she's there alone with Adam, we put a crib there as well so she can reach him straight away, and to keep an eye on him of course.
Wendy POV
This is such a horrible thing, 3 months of waisted work, having a baby is not at all what I thought, far from it, I don't have the patience and dedication for this, I'm so relieved I could get a maid, that way she can do all the job for me, even more the baby, Paul annoyed me so much to have one that I thought to myself, if you want it, have it then! The best part was the sex of course, more times of it to reach the positive test.
I miss going out with my friends so much, have a bit of freedom, see someone around, don't get me wrong, my husband has a hell of a body but sometimes I get tired of him, he's so wrapped up in the baby that I lose interest of having something with him, that's why I mock him a lot, so we can have make up sex, that's the way it turns me on the most right now.
"Paul I'm going out with some friends tonight, there's been a while since we went out altogether" He eyed me disapproving.
"You for real? You're going to leave me alone here with Adam? Don't you think it's too soon for that kind of things?" I was so expecting this.
"C'mon, it's not like you can't take care of him, you do it better than me! I'll pump some milk before going, so you can feed him"
"I wonder why I do it better… It seems sometimes you don't give a fuck about him" Partially it's true, when I'm not in the days of being bothered.
"It's not like that, but you know I like my time away from everyone sometimes, and you need to admit sometimes it's annoying having him always crying for no reason" Now I pissed him off.
"Don't say nothing more please, just go before I do something I shouldn't, GO!" And he stormed out of the living room, well at least I can go.
After getting ready on my heels, a tight dress, yes I lost all the baby weight, I'm so happy about that, I don't want to be those deformed woman with saggy bellies, gross, I picked up my tesla and drove to a club where me and my friends always used to come.
The Cicada Club.
And it's good as I remembered, I barely entered the club and my friends are already waving at me and clapping her hands, I love have rich friends, so Joyeuse.
"Girls!" They all got up and we hugged in group, we are 6 by the way, so it's like a full house of good woman.
"Didi you look so good; I wouldn't tell you had a baby!" Martha told me, and all the others agreed.
"Tata it was horrible days of crying thinking I would get those gross flaccid bellies, but I didn't so now I cry of happiness"
"You should yes, that's why I never want to have kids" Karla said.
"But you know K, he was always annoying me about it so just give the hubby what he wants, plus more sex was made" I winked at all them, and they were all supportive.
"With that husband of yours I think I wouldn't skip a day of having sex with"
"I thought that too in the beginning, but now he's so wrapped around the baby I don't have the feel to do it with him, it's like the only thing he survives is just for the baby, ugh!"
"That's sad, when they start like that, there's no way out, it's like they born and put a spell on the parents, you were the one who didn't fall from it"
"I'm glad I didn't, but I got a maid, so she can do all the work"
"Very well indeed, smart move, you know how to get out of things for sure"
"Always girls! So let's party?!"
"Let's do it!" And we all asked for drinks so that everything could begin!
