The Nanny

Chapter Three

The Nanny...

" Are you sure about this?" Amber asked while helping her to put her stuff to the car. She contacted her yesterday right after she got home and told her everything.

Amber the androgynous girl is her bestfriend since grade school. They always updated each other about anything and support each other in every possible way.

" Yes.. there's nothing wrong with this right? I mean becoming a Nanny isn't a bad start?" Sulli said to Amber but much more to herself.

" Who do you convince?.." Amber almost mumbled shooking her head.

" Oh Amber.. please, not from you." Sulli said pleading. She doesn't wanna hear it from her bestfriend or anyone close to her. Knowing everyone around her wants the best for her.

" Ssul, how about Auntie? do you have any plans of telling her the truth?" asked Amber in grimaced.

" No, not yet. Atleast for now." Sulli said looking away at her bestfriends stare.

" But she's your Mom, she would understand that your not perfect."

" Amber.. you don't know my Mom too well." she said giving her a stern look.

Amber rolled her eyes. She knew her bestfriend too well to not notice that this idea is ridiculous for her. Like hello, she was a consistent deans lister back in college and now she's applying to become a Nanny?

" Oh speaking of.. here's Auntie." Amber said giving her a signal look before excusing herself and carried all her stuff to the car.

" Here, I bought this for you." her Mom smiling at her giving her a pretty box. She was about to open it when her Mom stops her.

" What is this Mom?" she asked wondering.

" That's my gift for you. Open it later. Congratulations to your new job, baby." her Mom smiled at her. There was a bit pinch of guilt inside her with her Mom's thoughtfulness.

" Mom.. this is too much. You don't have to buy me a gift." she said hugging her Mom.

" Oh dear, that is nothing compared to your achievements." her Mom hug her back and kiss her cheek. She closed her eyes. Her Mom has no idea on how she's killing her with so much guilt.

" But baby do you really have to move out? Is it really hard for you to travel from here to the City?" her Mom asked loosing herself from her hug and intently look at her with scrutiny.

" Uhm.. yes, I guess it is much convenient this way Mom. Me, living in a new apartment in the city. Besides I can always visit you once a week." she said smiling weakly. She can't hardly look at her Mom her guilt feeling was eating her inside.

" Is that so? I can also visit you once in awhile, right? I wanna see of what kind of life your supposed to live there." her Mom said while hands were stroking her hair.

" Ha? ahh.. of course Mom, you uhm.. you can visit the city once in awhile." she stutteringly answered as they walk towards Amber's car.

" Okay.. you have to go now, before I change my mind. I might not allow you to leave the house." her Mom said when they were
completely in front of the waiting car.

" I'm sorry Mom. I have to go, I still have a meeting to attend to." she agreeingly said. But of course that was a lie. It's her first day of being a Nanny. It's just 6am in the morning and she should be there exactly at 8 o'clock as to what the lady instructed her. They only have more than an hour to find the address given to her.
