* Lora Croffard's POV *

Well, done Lora! Only you can manage to get fired and have another job offered to you on the same day! And I wasn't even planning on it to happened!

My mind is racing away with me. I decide to walk up to the fridge and pull out the leftovers from last night as well as a jar of ice-cream from the freezer. I got to the Tv and switch on Vampire Diaries.

Team Delina all the way!

* Liam Lockwood's POV *

"Hey, dude! Back to mother earth." I snapp out of my daydreaming and look over to where the guys sat across me.

"Sorry, what?"

"Dude! Where are you?"

"I'm right here, dumnut! What did you say?"

"I said that we should go to the club this weekend."

"Yeah, sure. Why not?"

"What is wrong with you, man?"

"What do you mean?"

"Ever since we were at the Blue café your mind'mind's been floating on every cloud it gets."

"Oh come on, Jake. You know it was the girl," Mark answers, wiggling his eyebrows at me.

"Oh, that waitress you gave your jacket to?"

"Whatever, you guys. Cut it out." I felt my face warming up and shake my head, hoping it will relieve the heat.

"Aww looks like somebody got a crush on the navy waitress."

"Please!! I met her like three hours ago."

"But you're seeing her again, aren't you?"

"Yap, I'm picking up my jacket tomorrow at the café."

"What if she isn't there?"

"I'm sure she will be, plus I've told her I'll be back for it. Why wouldn't she be there."

* Lora Croffard's POV *

"Lora? Why are you back this early?"

"Hey, Auntie. I'm just chill'n around," I say with some ice-cream in my mouth.

"Aren't you supposed to be at work or something?"

"Yeah... Maybe."

"Lora Amber Croffard! What are you up to?!" Damn this woman knows me too good.

"Well..."

"Well what?"

I take a deep breath. "I got fired!" I said quickly.

"You got what?!" she says with fire burning up in her eyes.

"It wasn't my fault, I swear! Some stupid child puked all over me and then some sweet guy gave me his very good smelling jacket so that I could wear it instead of my puky dress. Then Riri came up calling me a slut before firing me." I take another deep breath, because I rumbled all of that in one breath.

"Oh my! What are you going to do now? I mean you do want to get to London, don't you."

"Yes, well that's where the problem comes in, you see. A lady offered me a job today... As a babysitter or something. I don't know whether to take it or not. It's just so complicated right now and... Urg I don't know."

"Well Lora, darling. You are very good with children and you need money so why not try this one out. You can always quit if things get tough." She's right. I've got nothing to loose. It's worth the try.

"You're right. I'll go check it out."

"Good," she says, disappearing into her own room.

I walk up to my bag, looking for the business card the baby-lady gave me. Oh here it is. I type in the number en placed the phone to my ear.

It rang
And rang
And rang

"Hello? This is Mary Evens speaking, what can I do for you?" the slightly familiar voice said.

"Hi, Mrs Evens. This is Lora speaking. You offered me a job this morning."

Silence.

"Sorry, that doesn't ring a bell." Are you seriously kidding me right now?!

"Umm, well you gave me your child to hold at the Blue café and you told me if I ever need I job to call you."

"Oh yes! You're the cute waitress who had puke all over her dress and then put on a jacket."

"The one and only."

"Oh this is great! Thank you so much for responding to my request! I need a nanny to watch over my children while I'm busy with work and so forth. Think you can handle that?"

"Yeah, I guess-"

"Great! When can you start?"

"Um, whenever you want me to."

"Perfect! How does tomorrow fit you?"

"It can work."

"Good, I'll send you the address. See you at seven tomorrow morning. Don't be late." She hangs up and I put the phone away slowly.

That was easy. Guess I'm becoming a nanny. Hope she pays enough to get me to London. Soon.

**********

The next morning I walk up to my closet, not knowing what the hell I am going to wear. What does a nanny normally wear to her job?

Whatever, I'll just go with denim shorts and my white Starbucks t-shirt with my white sneakers.

I grab my backpack and ride down the streets with my bike. It should probably take me a half hour to get to the rich part of town. The upper-class.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm not rich at all. It's only me and my aunt. She doesn't get paid much and she lets me work for savings. I'm grateful to her, she's almost all I got. We survive.

I finally reach the mansion. Oh no, wait. It's a castle! It's all white and might have about two hundred windows in the walls. The gardens are groomed to perfection, no leaf or grass out of it's place. A fountain sits in the middle of the driveway, spilling water out of an elephant's trunk.

I walk up a few long steps leading to the front door. I look up to the top of the door. It's like five times my size... And I'm not short... At all!

Well, here goes nothing. I ring the bell and I can hear it eco through the castle.

A few seconds later the door flies open and Mary stands in front of me. "Hi! Lora, right?"

"Yes."

"Oh thank heavens you're here! Come in." She turns around and I follow her inside. I couldn't help but stare at the sight surrounding me. Wow! If all of this only were gold, a king could be living here.

We walk into a living room, which is all white. Oh and have I mentioned the floor is all wooden?

"Come sit." Mary offered me a seat across her. I'm almost to scared to sit on the perfect couch in the perfect house. "So, Lora. You have any idea of what to do and what you responsibilities are?"

"Um, not really. I haven't done anything like this before."

"No problem. Well, let's get started. You are going to be here a lot. I recommend that you move into the maid's room downstairs, but only if you want to. This is a full time job, because I have a full time job and so does my husband."

After a few hours of informing me what to do and what not to do, she said: "Any questions?"

"Um, only one. I don't want to be rude or anything but how much do I get?" She named the amount and my eyes grew wide. With this price I will get to London in a blink of an eye!
