Rosie's POV

I got up due to my alarm, which was blasting louder than I anticipated. It was 8:00 so I had exactly 1 and a half hours to get ready.

My eyes adjusted to the sunlight that escaped the curtains as I got up

Making my way over to my bathroom, I peeled my night clothes off and hopped into the shower, letting the warm water beat down on my naked form, needing my muscles.

I had to come out the shower if I wanted to at least have a go at my job

Stepping onto the cold slippery tile, I rapped my towel securely around my body

I nimbly made my way into my cold room, I shivered when a unknown gust of wind made contact with my petty frame.

Scurrying to my closest, I knew time was winding up, so I let my fuzzy hair out and hastily chose my outfit for today

I'm so screwed if it's a teen, my sense of fashion isn't the best.

Hmph, I'll eat later, my stomach is still full from last night, I went into my bathroom once more to brush my teeth

I quickly made my way downstairs, being cautious not to wake my exhausted father form his slumber.

When I passed the kitchen I noticed two keys on the counter top

Taking one, I rushed outside, unlocking my car and driving away hastily down the street to the address I was given, or left rather.

It was a lengthy journey, as I approached the neighbourhood, there are gigantic mansions that I could only dream of owning myself.

Pulling up to one of the many

parking my car on the outskirts of the mansion, I slowly exited my car

Making my way up to the gate surrounding the property, the security reluctantly stopped me.

"ID please"

No manners, his mom didn't teach him anything?

Giving him my ID, he scanned it and looked at me with squinted eyes

Does he think I'm impersonating someone?

"You can go in" he said whilst giving it back.

Walking closer to the main building, many workers gave me knowing glances, like they've seen me 1 too many times already

Stopping at the front door, I took a deep breath, in and out.

"Ok Rosie, you can do this, it's not that hard to get someone to like you, bu-"

"Are you finished with your little pep-talk"

I was too focused on gaining my confidence, I didn't realise
Mr. Costa opened the door and was now staring at me

"I was just about to open door, but you beat me to it" I argued avoiding his sharp glare

When I looked up, he was nowhere to be seen

So I took that as my invitation to enter the house.

The house was magnificent and also beautifully decorated, everything was polished and modern

There was giggling, in where I'm assuming is the living room

Making my way over that direction, it took some time because the house was very big

"Finally, I'm here" I muttered, gawking the place my eyes landed on a little girl giggling at her fathers words that a couldn't quite make out.

He standed from his crouched position looking down at his daughter shyly hiding behind his muscular body.

"Tesoro, questa è la tua tata, si menterà di te mentre sono al lavoro, non causare problemi, vero?" (Sweetheart, this is your nanny, she will be taking care of you while I'm at work, don't cause any problems, yes?)

I couldn't understand a word they were saying, though his thick italian accent could be heard clearly in his voice

"Sì"

"See you soon Tesoro" he whispered whilst kissing her cheek. (Sweetheart)

She nodded, hugging his torso

He then came to stand in front of me, and leaned in, his hot, minty breath fanning my ear.

I froze at our close proximity, "Just follow the rules, nothing more, nothing less" and with that he exited the room.

Was that a threat? Wait...
Rules? What rules?

I was left stunned by his actions, it took me a while to realise where I am.

"Hello, I'm Rosie, what's your name" I said kneeling down to her level, smiling brightly

"Isabella" she proudly stated while grinning from eye to eye

"That's a nice name"

"Oh, that's what daddy always says" she grinned even wider if that's even possible

"How old are you Isabella?"

"I'm 5!" She counted on her fingers, studying them closely, showing me a grin that will soon let any boy fall head over heels for her.

"Your pretty" She stated now comming towards me patting my fluffy hair

"uhhh, thank you... What do you want to do?"

Placing her hand on her chin she pretended to think

"let's go play in my playroom!" She jumped up happily

"O-ok, no problem" I got up, allowing her to direct me

Dragging me up the stairs, she led me to her playroom

Isabella's playroom

We sat beside each other, directly in front of the giant chalk board plastered on the wall

"let's draw rainbows or uhm... butterflys!" She declared, whilst giving me some pink chalk from a nearby container

I drew to my hearts content, using different colours on different areas of the butterfly

...

Without realising, Isabella stopped drawing and was now looking at me gobsmacked

I looked in the direction she was, and saw the beauty I created.

"I didn't know you could draw that well, can you teach me please?" she requested with a pouty face and big eyes

"How can I say no to you Isabella?"

"You can call me Bella, since we are now best friends!" She giggled, looking at me enthusiastically.

"Oh, ok Bella"

Teaching her was harder than I thought, it took many trials and errors for her to finally create her butterfly

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she squealed loudly whilst hugging me tightly

Uhhh... I really don't know, why I'm getting praised for only teaching her the basics

Whatever, I'm accepting it

"Your welcome Querido" I replied truthful (Dear)

She ached a brow in confusion while leaning out of the gentle hug.

"Don't think too much off it" I said giggling

"You must be hungry now, let's go get something for you to eat" stretching my hand for her to take it, she gladly did

We walked together to the kitchen, seeing some colouring books, I let her colour in the living room while I went to make something nutritional

As I neared the kitchen, seeing woman I assumed to be in her late 50s, she approached me

"Hello, I'm Samantha"

"Hello im Rosie, Isabella's nann-"

"Don't worry dear I was informed" she smiled sweetly at me to which I returned

"Oh, it's Isabellas lunch time, I'll be making something for you while I'm at it" when she was about to leave I quickly blurted out "Sorry miss, I'm not hungry thank you"

"Call me Saman-"

She got cut short by the grumbling of my impatient stomach

Quickly I looked down, embarrassed by the situation.

"What were you saying dear?" she asked mockingly

Shaking my head furiously, she left with a light chuckle.

Scurrying back to the living area where I left Isabella, she was still focused on colouring so I sat on one of the many sofas, pulled out my phone and, sent a quick text to Emily.

E for Emily
R for Rosie

R "Sorry for ditching you yesterday"

It took awhile but she responded

E "Sirry girl konda in yhe muddle of simthing"

Why is her typing so messy, and what something?... Ohhh, that something.

Getting what she was implying on I didn't reply, putting my phone in my purse, just in time for Samantha to come in
with some yummy food.

......

I was finished eating and so was Isabella, going into the kitchen I placed the empty plates into the sink, when I heard Isabella giggling so I assumed Mr. Costa arrived

Taking my leave, I went into the living room and found that my assumptions were terribly wrong

A handsome guy with blonde sleek, hair and ocean blue eyes that could let any girl spread their legs gladly.

He stopped, tickling Isabella and turned towards me allowing her to run from his grasp

"Hello there, I'm Mason" he said smiling widely

"I'm Rosie, nice to meet you" I replied also smiling brightly

"Are you going now?"

I nodded, getting my bag that was beside Mason

"Are you coming, tomorrow?" he asked looking at me

"Yes, I am, are you?"

"I might, but don't keep your hopes up" he replied smirking with a playful wink

"Sure, Im going to go say my goodbyes to Isabella" I said waving in his direction
