Part 2
Kim's POV
6:00am reads my alarm clock as it blares through the room. I turn it off quickly and head into the bathroom for a quick shower. After that much needed hot shower I change into my work clothes; black trousers and a white blouse tucked into the waistband, with a thin black leather belt along the belt holes. To finish it all off I wore my gold watch reading 6:50am 'perfect timing' I thought. I went downstairs to the kitchen getting Cheryl her smoothie and breakfast ready that she had requested the night before. She should be up by 7:00 and down to eat by 7:30-8:00. I had everything timed and everything was going according to schedule. Cheryl had studio time at 9am and I didn't want her to be running late. I made her pancakes with strawberries along with cut up fruit, as I finished her strawberry and banana smoothie she emerged into the kitchen looking beautiful as ever.
"Good morning" she said smiling
"Good morning Ms. Cole I have made you your smoothie and pancakes. Would you like anything else?" I asked professionally
"It's Cheryl pet, and no.. actually do you have the-" before she finished I handed her the morning paper
"Thank you" she smiled
"If you don't need anything else I will get started on the house work" I said after placing her meal in front of her
"That is all I'll be needing thank you" she said
"If you need anything just give me a shout" I smiled and walked away.
Cheryl's POV
First thought when I first laid my eyes on Kimberley- Beautiful. But she looks so sad, doesn't seem happy. I mean her work isn't something you dream about becoming, but you can tell her smile isn't real, there's no spark in her eyes. I want to get to know her better but I don't want to push her away. I hope she doesn't think I'm a creep I'm just genuinely interested in her. Yesterday when I told her she could have a free day I just watched her sit on the dock staring into the lake, lost in her own thoughts.. I wonder what she was thinking about. god I can be so nosey sometimes
"Kim!" I called her name out and not even in seconds she appeared through the kitchen
"Yes Ms.Cole?" I don't know why she keeps calling me Ms. Cole when I asked her to call me Cheryl
"Kimberley it's Cheryl, please call me Cheryl" I laughed a little
"Sorry. Yes Cheryl?" she asked again
"Did you put my bag of clothing I had brought with me home into my closet?" I ask her
"Yes Ms- I mean Cheryl. I ironed them and hung then up into your closet" she answered
"Okay perfect thank you! I will be heading out shortly. Here I have written down all the numbers you need to contact me incase anything happens, or if you need me to get anything on my way home" I handed her all the contacts she well be needing
"Okay got it" she took the paper from me and tucked it into her pocket
"I'm going to go get change and head out now, don't miss me too much" I said trying to lighten up the serious mood
"I'll try my best" she smirked and I couldn't help but laugh at her cheekiness
"That's better" I said
"What's better?" she questioned
"I like it when you're cheeky. No need to be all shy around me Kim" I said patting her on the shoulder
"I'll try my best" she said looking down on the ground. I just stood there for a second thinking who could have made her so insecure that she couldn't even look at me when I was speaking to her
"Okay I guess I better get dressed! I'll see you later"

Kim's POV
Cheryl had just left the house and I was alone once again. It's weird working in this house because in the house I worked before there was children to keep me occupied. But in this house I was constantly alone. I try my best to keep myself busy but really there's only so much you can clean. Only one person lives in this house, she's a bit messy but nothing I can't clean up in a minute or two. Now I just wait until 7pm to make her dinner. The house phone rang through the house and I ran to pick it up
"Hello Ms. Coles house how may I help you?"
"Let me speak to her" a very angry manly voice came through the speaker
"I'm sorry sir she is not in right now. can I take a message?" I said trying to stay as professional as possible
"Tell her to fxking call me back" and with that he hung up. I could only guess one name that came to mind
Ashley Cole
I wonder why he would be calling and demanding to speak to her. He sounds like a right a**hole if you ask me. It's non of your business Kimberley just get on with your job. The clock reads 5:30pm I have a bit of time to myself before I need to get Cheryl's dinner started. She seems so lonely, all alone in this house.. snobby? no she's not. I thought she would be. she's not like your normal celebrity, she's down to earth and sweet. And beautiful. God every girl would dream to look like her. Me well I'm just average. Im nothing. I'm The Help.
I had some time to waste so I figured I'd write. It's therapy to me.. I lost my friends to this job I don't see anyone anymore. And well my family.. that's a whole other story to tell.

Dear Diary,
I'm alone again. Alone can mean so many things. My soul is empty, with love, with joy, and happiness. I'm currently sitting on the dock facing the blue clear water. It's beautiful out here, makes all your problems not so big anymore. I wonder what my family would think if they were to find out the job I'm currently doing. Ashamed? disappointment? embarrassed? probably all the above. I couldn't live in Bradford anymore, life there was too difficult for my liking, I wanted to make something of myself..something. Yeah.. Look how that turned out. My current mood right now would be mellow.. The water makes me feel at peace.
Xx Kimberley
I looked at my watch and it read 6:57pm I got up from the dock and walked through the massive garden and into the kitchen to get dinner started. Remember Kim she doesn't like fish.. so I'll make her some Surf and Turf. some steak and shrimp, shrimp isn't too fishy right? .. it doesn't even taste of anything. I hope she likes it.

Kim's POV
As I was finishing up the food I heard the front door open with a loud sigh. The sound of heels clinking against the hard wood floor coming closer and closer to the kitchen
"Hello" Cheryl greeted me with a warming smile
"Hi Cheryl how was your day" I asked trying to be polite
"Hectic! I mean how many times do you need to re-sing a line, I just don't understand these producers!! they are drivin' us crazy" she rambled I figured she was talking to herself more than me
"Well hopefully this dinner will lighten up your mood" I smiled at her before turning my attention back to the food
"Smells gorgeous! I'm just going to have a quick shower and change and I'll come down for dinner" she said
"Okay I'm almost done" I said
"Oh before I forget did anyone call or anything like that" she asked
"Yes you received a call from a man but he didn't give me a name" I said meeting her eyes. Worry that's what they read
"Oh. What did he say?" she questioned
"He just asked that you call him back" I tried to go around how he actually requested it
"Come on pet be honest with me how did he actually say it" she said hesitantly
"Do you want me to repeat his exact words?" I cringed
"Yes" she said confidently
"Um.. well he said 'tell her to fcking call me back'" I said a little embarrassed
"Fcking asshole" she muttered under her breath. I didn't reply because it's non of my business
"Aghhhh!! ..well thank you kim" she said running her fingers through her hair and walking out of the kitchen
I felt bad for her, why is her ex-husband still trying to get in contact with her after what he did..?

I placed the food onto the dinning table and set up her cutlery and put her a bottle of wine in a tub of ice. she came through the dinning room and sat down on the table and I had finished everything so I left her to enjoy her meal in peace
"Enjoy your meal" I smiled walking out but before I could walk any further she held my wrist in her hand and I felt an electric wave go through my system
"Kim" she said
"Yes" I replied looking at her hand in mine
"Have dinner with me" she said letting go of my hand
"I'll have my dinner in the kitchen" I replied
"What a daft thing to do, were both going to have dinner alone?" she tilted her head to the side
"Well that's how it's supposed to be" I said looking away from her intense stare
"Well I am your boss aren't I?" she asked
"Yes you are" I smiled weakly
"Well as your boss, I request for you to have dinner with me" she said
"Okay as you wish" I said siting down across from her
"Here give us your plate" she held her hand out and I handed her my plate and she loaded it with food
"Eat up" she smiled putting the plate in front of me
"Thank you" I smiled back
"Mmmm this is delicious" she said with a mouthful of mash and steak
"Glad to hear that" I said eating my meal
"So Kim tell us about yourself" she said taking a sip of wine
"Well what would you like to know" I hate when people ask me to talk about myself. I'm not one for opening up, and getting all the attention on me
"Let's see.. I know you're 29, and worked for the Jeffersons before me.. Um that's pretty much it. My manager said you were the best so I had to have you" what am I some sort of animal 'I had to have you'
"I'm from Bradford, I come from a family of 6. I moved to London at the age of 20.. and here I am" I shrugged there really isn't much to tell
"Oh family of 6? I come from a family of 7 so you understand how crazy it is to come from a big family aye?" she smiles
"Crazy isn't even the word, when I was in my teens my brother and I were really close and we had this neighbor who would yell at anyone that came on their lawn. So Adam and I thought it would be funny to climb over their fence one night and ding-dong ditch their door. But it ends in a horror story of my brother trying to help me over the fence and my shirt getting caught and I was just hanging there.. the neighbors came out and had a fit. Haaah it makes good memory tho" I laughed and she joined me. We spent the whole dinner telling each other stories of our childhood and how we grew up with a crazy family. I learned that she didn't grow up in a privilege home, she had a rough childhood. but her mum still allowed her to grow up with dreams, dreams that she fulfilled. after dinner I cleaned up the table and she said she was tired from work so she went to bed early and I soon followed her and went to sleep myself. Setting my alarm clock. Another day. Another day away from what I truly want to be.
Let me know what you guys think PLEASE
