Lissa’s Pov:
“You are in?” They chorused and I smiled broadly at them.
“I heard you guys betting on my behalf so am joining” I said as they shook their head in guilt.
“By the way, my name is Monalissa Ricks but you can call me Lissa” I said as i brou-ght out my hand for a handshake and shook them.
“Am Mabel! Am Juliet and Am Miss Rachel the oldest housemaid, the chief housekeeper and the eldest” they introduced and I smiled.
“You know what Lissa! I like you already and I hope and pray that you will be able to bear that little witch’s sauciness” Mabel said
“She’s really very saucy but i need the money so I will endure it” I said
“I just love your spirit” Juliet said and I chuckled
“I believe you will be last” Miss Rachel said
“Thank you Miss Rachel” I said and just then I heard a loud scream.
“Nanny! Nanny Lissa!! Nanny!!! My goodness do you want me to die of thirst?” Ariana yelled from the stairs.
“I have to go guys” I said and rushed out of the kitchen with a gla-ss of water.
“Yes Ariana! Why were you screaming?” I asked and she gave me a dangerous stare.
“Shut the fu-ck up! Who do you think you are Lissa?” She yelled at me.
“Who I am? Am your nanny who deserves respect!” I said and she sighed angrily.
“Which you will never get!” she said and frowned.
“You know what Ariana? Nau-ghty angry girls always look ugly with a wrinkled face” I teased and she screamed.
“You are the one whose gonna be ugly!” Ariana shouted as she rushed upstairs
“The water?” I said
“Take that shit away! I don’t want it anymore cos you brou-ght it late and mind you I ought to be in bed by 8:30pm and it’s 8:00pm already… Any further lateness is putting your job at risk” she said already in her room.
“Jeez! This girl is something, Does she know am almost fourteen years older than she is” I thought as i walked back to the kitchen and dropped the gla-ss of water.
“You can now come and prepare her food cos am done and that’s your food over there!” Miss Rachel said and I nodded and headed out of the kitchen.
“Why does she like stressing her nanny? I mean why can’t she eat what the maids cooked?” I thought.
**
I walked into Ariana’s room with a tray and a plates of rice and cabbage chicken sauce in the tray with a gla-ss of water and juice…. That is for her dinner as written on the timetable she gave me.
“Ariana! Come on food’s ready!” I said and she sighed
“Trash that! I don’t want it anymore cos you wasted a lot of time and I lost my appetite for it” she said
“What? I spent a lot of time in making this” I said
“Well you were too slow!” she said and I fumed in anger
“I feel like giving you a resounding slap little brat! ” I thought
“I wanna take my bath already, I have to be in school as early as 7:15 am” she said as i nodded.
I bathed her and wore her a night gown…. It was already very late in the night and I was feeling really sleepy.
Ariana’s Pov:
I watched the nanny head towards the door, she looked really pale and weak.
“This is still the beginning of her suffering, how dare her! Say that am ugly” I thought and smiled mischievously
She will eat a cold food tonight ?
“Hey! Where are you going?” I asked her as she turned around.
“To eat and sleep of course, it’s 11:10pm already but you said you sleep before 8:30pm” she said
“Good gracious me!” I yelled in displease
“What is it Ariana?” she asked
“You won’t leave this room until I fall asleep that’s your work you scu-mbag” I said as she stared at me disgustedly
“Why are you so cruel Ariana?” she asked and I smi-rked.
“Tell me bedtime stories until I sleep off if not you will remain until morning” I said ignoring her questions.
She sat down on my stool and started telling me stories.
“Did you like the story?” she asked as she finished.
“You are such a boring lady! Can’t you tell me something interesting?” I lied cos i actually enjoyed the story.
She continued telling me stories and was almost nodding and enjoyed every bit of it.
Mr Rodney’s Pov:
I was done with arranging my office files so I opened Ariana’s room to kis-s her goodnight.
To my greatest surprise, I saw her lying down with legs on Lissa’s head…Lissa was also sleeping.
I smiled lightly as I tapped Lissa gently.
“Lissa! You can go to bed now! ” I said as she quickly jumped up.
“Am really sorry sir! I didn’t mean to sleep off in….” She apologized
“It’s nothing Lissa! I should be the one apologizing for what Ariana is doing to you” I said and she nodded and walked out of the room.
I smiled at nothing.
I covered little Ariana with a duvet and kis-sed her forehead.
“Good night baby, I just hope you stop being Nau-ghty and nasty” I said as i turned off her table lamp and locked her door.
Lissa’s Pov:
I yawned sleepily and tiredly as i ate my dinner nodding.
I glanced at the clock, it was already past 1am.
“That Ariana is a little devil” I thought
Minutes later, I was done eating and staggered to my room upstairs weak and tired.
I held the door handle and opened the door as i bounced on the bed dozing already.
Just then, I heard a voice and I raised my face and gave out a scream.
“Lissa! what are you doing in my bedroom?” that was Mr Rodney’s voice.
My eye wide-ned in shock and sleep flew from my eyes as I saw Mr Rodney half na-ked from the bathroom.
I yelled aloud and rushed out of the room….
Episode 03
Lissa’s Pov:
I rushed into my room, pa-nting and sweating profusely.
“Oh my God! Am going to lose my job because of my clumsiness! What was I thinking? That’s my bed could be that soft” I said as started wailing.
“And I didn’t even apologize” I said again remembering how Ariana had stressed me out.
“This is all that little witch’s faults” I thought
I kept worrying till I fell asleep.
*
Grrnnnnn…. Grrrnnnnn ? ?
My alarm rang noisily and I rolled from one side of the bed to another.
I haven’t had enough sleep and besides how am I going to face Mr Rodney this morning.
I quickly flung the duvet off my body and rushed out with the Nau-ghty girl’s timetable.
I gently threw her door open and turned on the light.
“Ariana! Ariana!! Wake up!! Get up already!!” I said as i shook her gently.
“My goodness! You are such a pest lady!” she screamed as she dragged her pillow to her ears.
“You don’t want to be late for school, do you?” I asked and she yanked the thick duvet cover off her and furrowed her eyebrows.
“Of course if that happens I won’t think twice but to fire you” She said and sighed as I led her to the bathroom to bathe her.
I was too disorganized to talk back at her and i was actually expecting my sack letter today since I saw Mr Rodney’s ba-re body last night.
Minutes later
__________
I was already throu-ghwith preparing Ariana for school and we walked downstairs to the dinning.
I was holding her school bag as she walked in front of me.
We got to the dinning and immediately i saw Mr Rodney already at the dinning eating.
My heart skipped ?
“Good morning sir Rodney” I greeted with my eyes focused on Ariana’s timetable.
“Good morning Lissa! How are you doing?” Sir Rodney said looking away.
“Am fine sir!” I managed to say nervously.
We kept avoiding eye contact from each other and my heart kept beating fas-ter.
There was absolute silence between us until Ariana spoke up.
“Hey! What’s for my breakfast?” Ariana asked
“It’s cereal Ariana!”I said as i walked into the kitchen and came back with a plate, a can of milk and a packet of cornflakes (cereal) with a spoon.
I placed the plate and the can of milk in front of Ariana as I poured some cornflakes from the packet into the plate.
While I was doing all this, Ariana was busy operating her big expensive cell phone.
“What would a little girl of eight years be doing with such an expensive cell phone?” I thought
I quickly picked up the can of milk and poured some of it into the cornflakes in the plate.
I stirred the cornflakes and milk as Sir Rodney and I kept stealing glances at each other.
I went back into the kitchen and dropped the cornflakes and came back.
Ariana’s Pov:
I stirred the cornflakes slowly as I spooned it into my mouth.
“What the hell….”I yelled angrily as i quickly picked up the plate of cornflakes and poured it on my Nanny’s face and everyone gasped in shock.
“Ariana! What was that for?” Daddy asked angrily and I rolled my eyes.
The nanny who was in tears gently ran out and headed straight to the kitchen.
“Nanny! Nanny!!” I yelled fuming in anger
“Get your fu-cking a-ss here right now” I ordered as my dad looked at me in disgust.
She returned to the dinning looking really gloomy.
“What’s wrong with you Ariana?” She asked
“Shut the hell up! What yucky food did you just serve me with huh?” I screamed in anger
“Was it not what you wanted as written in your timetable?” Dad asked eagerly
“Yes! I wanted cereal but she would have asked me if I wanted cornflakes or oat meal and she didn’t even add enough milk to the damn cornflakes” I said and dad smi-rked angrily.
“Ariana! Where are your manners?” Nanny Lissa said
“Very far away where none of you can find it! Next time ask before you do anything and thank your stars that it wasn’t hot cos if it was am sure by now that worthless face of yours must have been peeling off” I said as i picked up my cell phone and I walked out.
“No breakfast?” my daddy asked
“I’ll eat at the cafeteria, I don’t wanna be late for school” I said already outside.
“Bull! Bull!! Where the hell is that Godforsaken driver?” I yelled
The driver’s name is actually Johnbull but I call him bull cos that’s the best way to describe him.
Lissa’s Pov:
Anger burnt throu-ghme as i quickly picked up Ariana’s school bag and lunch box and headed outside the mansion.
“Lissa!” Sir Rodney called and i turned around slowly.
“Yes sir!” I said blinking ha-rd to for-ce back tears.
“Am sorry!” We said almost the same time and we smiled as I wiped my tears and walked out.
I kept wondering why Sir Rodney didn’t lash out on me for barging into his room last night.
*
Ariana hopped into the car and I kept her school bag and lunch box close to her and tried to hop in but she pushed me aside.
“What the hell do you think you are doing?” She asked disgustedly
“Speak with respect you ingrate!” I said angrily
“I sit here alone so you can sit in front of the car cos i can’t share this back seat with you” She said as she sighed loudly as she picked up her earpiece and plugged it into her ears.
I looked at her with total hatred as i closed the car door and hopped into the front seat of the car.
“Let’s go Mr John! I said politely as we speeded out of the large compound.
We drove to the school in silence as i opened the car door for Ariana who climbed down and I picked up her lunch box and school bag and made to follow her but she stopped me.
“Give me my school bag!” She said as i handed the school bag to her.
“You can shoo! I don’t want you to ever follow me into the school compound” She said as she eyed me dangerously and walked away.
“The lunch box?” I said but she quickly turned around and spat on the ground.
“I don’t want to be poisoned yet so take that junk away” she said and I folded my fist in anger trying to hold myself from giving that spoilt brat a dirty slap.
I walked back into the car and Mr Johnbull drove off.
“Don’t mind that spoilt brat! That’s her attitude!!” Mr John said and I smiled.
“Am already getting used to it Mr John!” I said as we laughed happily.
**
I was cleaning up Ariana’s room when Mabel walked to me and offered to help.
“So tell me Lissa! How are you coping with that wicked witch?” She asked and I smiled broadly
“Am just tolerating her rotten attitude!” I said
“You’ve really lasted more than expected” Mabel said and that got me chuckling.
“So tell me Mabel, how did Ariana turn out to be so rude?” I asked anxiously
“Well according to Miss Rachel whose the oldest housemaid, she said Sir Rodney’s wife Mrs Kira Sanchez died in a ghastly accident when little Ariana was just 4 years old and since then Ariana has been living with Sir Rodney’s mom in the states and probably the old sophisticated lady spoiled her and she became wild and free to do what ever she wants, it is ba-rely a year ago that Sir Rodney travelled to the states to visit her and saw how Nau-ghty she has become, so he decided to bring her back to the Phili-ppines and maybe teach her some manners… in just six months she already fired up to eight of her nannies” Mabel narrated and I snorted.
“That’s horrible! No wonder she’s so mean and ill mannered” I said and. Mabel as we finished the cleaning and walked downstairs together.
*
I was coming out of the kitchen when I bumped into someone and I fell on the ha-rd floor.
It was a very beautiful sophisticated and bejewelled young lady.
I quickly got up and before I could say something, she gave me a resounding slap.
“You bitc-h! Are you blind?” She yelled at me and I held my cheek in shock….
