In The End
Chapter 2: The Babysitter
She had applied for a job at babysitting and she didn't even know why. It's not like she needed the money. She had inherited a lot of money and got paid quite a sum for the dancing that she did. Oh well, there was a first time for everything. Now she was in a taxi, which would be taking her to the destination where she would be babysitting. The babysitting company hadn't specified who she would be babysitting, they just gave her an address and told her what time to be there. She wondered exactly why she had taken this job. Maybe because she had nothing to do, sure she had school and it was the beginning of her last year, matter of fact school had started again in the beginning of this week, but she already knew school would be a breeze. She still had dancing practice but that didn't take up all her time Maybe she had taken this job to make friends. Ha, Serenity Wheeler, the girl without friends. Yeah, she knew a few people, from school, from dancing, from the... Hospital. But she never had really gotten close to anyone. It had been a long time since she had had a close friend.
Without even realizing it the taxi had stopped and the driver was looking at her expectantly. She blushed a little and handed him a few bills, quickly getting out of the car. Taking her backpack with her and placing it on her back before turning around. It had been about a twenty-minute drive to this...mansion.
"Woah" is all that she whispered. This mansion was spectacularly beautiful. Looking at the paper with the address on she made sure she was in the right place. Yip, this was the place all right. She walked slowly up to the black gates, they were really high...intimidating. She looked around and located a buzzer.
"What"
Getting a fright because a security guard had appeared out of nowhere.
"I am here to baby-sit" Serenity said clearly.
"State your name and surname" The guard ordered.
"Serenity Wheeler" This guard was really quite rude. She frowned. He said something into what she presumed was a radio, then he covered his ear that had the receiver, obviously to hear the response better. Then he nodded and the gates slid open.
"Just go to the front door and knock, you will be let in there." The guard said. She stepped inside. The gate immediately sliding shut. It was quite a walk to the front door. Getting closer to the mansion, it was even more beautiful than before, close up and all. She kept walking at a rather slow pace. Suddenly a thought occurred to her, what happens if she was babysitting a spoiled brat. By the looks of things, these people were, to put it bluntly, loaded. She instantly had second thoughts about this whole babysitting 'business'. She didn't want to spend a whole weekend with a spoiled brat. I mean come on, who would? She could just leave, she didn't really need the money, she thought once again. No, she couldn't do that. She had applied herself and she would finish what she started.
Serenity was now very close to the door. Stopping in her tracks, she took a sharp intake of breath. There was shouting coming from the other side of the door. She was contemplating what to do. Whether she should interrupt or not. To hell with it, she couldn't wait any longer or she might lose her courage and ditch this place. Quickly walking the rest of the way to the door, she took a breath then knocked only once.
There was, what felt like, a long silence. Then the door rapidly swung open revealing a boy with long raven hair. At the moment he looked flustered and angry.
Since he wasn't saying anything she started with a greeting.
"Hi, I'm Serenity" She said holding out her hand. She never really did like her surname therefore she left it out of her little introduction.
The boy in front of her seemed to collect himself, the anger gone.
"I'm Mokuba," He said taking her hand and giving it a shake. He then continued.
"Come inside" She silently stepped inside, grateful to get out of the chilled air. He closed the door behind her.
"I am the one you will be babysitting," He said looking at her, but then his eyes focused on something behind her, confused she turned around.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Luckily Mokuba hadn't been able to finish his speech because of the knock on the door which had turned out to be the babysitter. Mokuba and her had exchanged a few words before she had stepped inside. She hadn't noticed him yet because he was sitting in his wheelchair behind her.
But when Mokuba's eyes had drifted from her form and settled on him, she had turned around... he saw her eyes widen, but was about to tell her off when he noticed that it wasn't out of pity, but something else. He was pretty good at reading people so he knew for sure that she wasn't looking at him with those wide eyes in pity. Seto wasn't quite able to make out what it was. The whole time he had been running through his thoughts he had been staring at her.
"Seto, this is Serenity" Mokuba introduced " Serenity this is my big brother Seto Kaiba"
Her eyes widened even more after Mokuba had said his surname. Hadn't she known whom she would be working for? She stuck out her hand, which surprised him a little. Sure he was pitied, but no one had had guts to be this...forward. He thought about not taking her hand, but just shrugged off the thought and shook it.
"Nice to meet you" she said smiling at him.
He smirked...she definitely had guts.
All the while he was still holding her hand, what was with all this prolonged contact, Kaiba reprimanded himself. Yeah, she was attractive, hell yeah! With green eyes, perfect complexion and long reddish brown hair, but he didn't associate himself with girls. They were useless and clingy and most of them just liked him because of his money and status, not for him and anyway who would like a guy in a wheelchair. Reminding himself of his position, he instantly let go of her hand letting it fall to his side and gripping his wheels getting ready to move.
She striked him as different. She was the first person, besides from Mokuba, in a long time that hadn't looked at him with pity, even his doctor looked at him with pity. He looked at Mokuba silently giving him a warning. Then looked at the girl before him. She was looking around, a look of awe upon her face. Then she suddenly looked back down on him. When she saw that he was looking at her, she quickly looked away, he noticed a slight red tinge to her cheeks. What was it about her? He felt like he needed to get to know her. She was a mystery.
"I have to go, we will talk later" He said to Mokuba trying to ignore...her, not helping himself he looked at her. What was wrong with him. Deciding this was a very good time to leave. He wheeled towards the elevator, which was to the side of the front door. He pressed the button waiting for it to arrive.
"I will be back on Sunday" He muttered before entering the elevator and turning around.
"Bye Seto" Mokuba said, Kaiba noticed a overwhelming sadness in his brothers eyes.
"Bye" The girl said to him before the elevator doors shut.
This was going to be a long weekend for him. He was going on this business trip mainly because he had many meetings to attend in the same location. His thoughts drifted to the girl that was in his mansion, while he made his way towards his limousine. Hell, this definitely was going to be a long weekend. He thought shifting himself from his wheelchair onto the limo seats...
Thank you for reading. Thank you also to everyone that reviewed the last chapter...I really appreciate it!
