The Billionare's Nanny

Chapter 6

Elena's POV

Its been four days since the incident in the mall and I still can't get Mr.Grey eyes out of my head. I am sure there is something wrong with me. Out of all the people in the world, that arrogant j**k had to get stuck in my mind. How lucky am I !!!!

What is it El, I noticed that you have been zoning out a lot lately, Emma asked sitting beside me.

I don't want to let Em know about my thoughts, even by mistake, as I have never seen her get so worked up over a guy before. Because of him she was in an extremely bad mood that day and was literally cursing him out whenever she got a chance.

'Its nothing Em, just thinking about mom and dad. I miss them both and my annoying twins too. Next week they are turning 20 and I am planning to send them a gift' I said sighing. I really do miss my family. My dad Mr. Jacob Thomas and my mom Mrs. Rita Jacob are both high-school teachers. My twin siblings Leo and Lina are in the third year of their college. They are doing their degree in commerce unlike me who loves science. We are not that rich, just a normal working class family.

'That's a good idea El, I'll help you to choose their gifts. Don't worry about it, Emma reassured me. 'Thanks Em' I said smiling.

Anything for you bestie. Well, I forgot to ask you. Last night was Becca's date with Dave, right??? How did it go??? enquired Emma.

'Becca said that it was great. I had a little chat with Dave when he came to pick her up and he seems to be a nice guy. She was so happy and when I asked for the details she was blushing like crazy. I really wish that they end up together........' I said thinking about those two (Dave is a true gentleman. He is honest and caring and he deserves our sweet Becca)

I guess Emma also has the same opinion as she said sighing, Me too El. He is a great guy. He really values relationships and I hope that they'll have a good future together.

Our conversation was interrrupted by the pinging of my phone. It was a message from my department asking me to report to the nursery. Duty calls.... 'I am being called to the nursery. See you later Em' saying this I went back to my work.

Another day has passed and I'm back at our apartment. I feel so drained that I am lying on the couch still in my scrubs. Looks like you had a rough day today, Becca voiced the obvious.

'Yeah, I had conducted back to back 4 deliveries in the afternoon and one of it was a bit complicated that Lisa almost got ready to perform a C-section, but thankfully it went well. How was your day Becca???' I asked her.

As usual nothing special. Oh I forgot to tell you the best part. Today Josh approached me and asked me a lot about you. Like your favourite food, favourite colour, sports, hobbies, etc. I think he is planning to court you (What is this guy trying to do!!!!!!) 'What!!!! I am not interested Becca. Anyways, did you tell him all of that???' I asked slightly panicking.

El, I know about your stand in this and I even told him so. But it seems like he is determined to make you fall in love with him. So, I kind of helped him (Great, just great!!!!! ) You know, we should always support true love. Also in my opinion, he is a perfect guy- good looking, caring, hardworking and he also has got a great family. I mean they are rich and you don't have to worry about the future. Why don't you just date him??? she suggested

This is what I have been talking about. My friends are h**l bent on making us a couple. They have even started talking about our future kids saying that they'll be very cute and beautiful.

'Becca I can't date. I am only allowed to have "love after my marriage" not before that' I said feeling devastated (I don't know what to do!!!! He is so persistent. I can't give him what he wants. She's right, he is good looking, but not as handsome as Mr.Grey eyes...What!!!! When did I start comparing guys to that j**k!!!!! I think I am going crazy)

Then why don't you marry Josh first. After that he can date you for as long as he wants and you can have your "love after marriage". I'm sure Josh will be more than ready to marry you even if its today, Becca said taunting me.

'Okay, then call my parents and convince them' I said challenging her. Hey, I don't know your language, she defended herself (Like you would've done that otherwise)

'So, just keep quite, okay. Also stop playing cupid', I said warning her. She raised her hands in surrender.

Listen El, Ry just messaged me to get to the Blackbuck Diner before 8. When I asked him the reason, he said that its a surprise. What is he planning??? she asked frowning (Awww....poor Becca. She is really curious. Actually its for Sam. Sam is planning to propose to Emma today in the diner in their favourite spot. Its where Sam had asked Emma to be his girlfriend. So, today he is going to pop the big question there. Isn't it so romantic!!!! But Sam has shared his plan only with me and Ryan as we both are really good at keeping secrets. Becca is the worst of us all. Tell her a secret and you can hear the whole room talking about it in just 5 minutes. To avoid any flaws, we have kept her in the dark for the time being. So, I had helped Sam to get Emma's ring size and you know what, the ring that he had chosen is so gorgeous. He did sent me its picture yesterday. Its a halo ring with a large cushion cut diamond in the centre. Emma is so going to love it!!!! Ryan has managed to make all the necessary arrangements in the diner. He even booked an entire part of the diner for them)

'No idea Becs....but we'll know it when we get there' saying this I moved to my room to get ready.

We reached the diner around 7:45 in the evening and Ryan was already there. We got inside the diner and Ryan lead us to the backside of the diner and believe me I am literally speechless.They have cleared off all the tables and filled the entire floor with red balloons and red rose petals. In the middle, they have managed to create a little white heart-shaped stage for proposing. Its surrounded by candles and red roses. The walls are filled with pictures of Sam and Emma's sweet moments. Its so beautiful!!!! When I turned to Becca, she was standing there like a deer caught in the headlights. 'Becca are you happy now???' I asked laughing. She just blinked her eyes at me. I guess she needs time to process it.

'You really outdid yourself this time Ry. I never knew that this playboy had a romantic side too. I'm in love with your idea' I said ruffling his hair.

Don't underestimate me, El. I am a man of many talents. But I would have been happy if you had said that you are in love with me instead, he said picking me up and twirling me around.

'Just dream on Ry... But put me down you i***t' I said smiling, but he didn't. We were both laughing when Sam stormed inside shouting, What the hell Ry, put Lena down right now!!!! I had warned you many times not to flirt with her (Sam is like a big brother to me. He calls me Lena and Becca complains that he loves me more than her. I love him a lot and I consider myself blessed to have him as a brother figure in my life) Ryan immediately put me down.

Its just an innocent twirl man!!!! My intentions are really pure, I swear, he said raising his hands in surrender.

I really doubt your "pure" intentions Ry. So you better watch out, Sam said warning him (Ryan flirts with everyone and his favourite target is me. Sam gets furious whenever Ryan does this. But believe me Ryan only considers me as his good friend)

'Calm down Sam. We were just playing. You should really apologize to him, after all he is the evil mastermind behind this beautiful plan' I said hugging Sam.

I'm sorry but I can't help it Lena, he said hugging me back.

Okay, sorry Ry. She's right. Its really beautiful. I never expected something like this. Thank you so much man, Sam said giving him a bro hug.

Anything for you dude. But how about you give Lena as my girlfriend in return, he said smirking (Is he planning to get beaten up today!!!!)

What the heck Ryan. I won't mind punching you in the face right now....Sam said gritting his teeth.

'For God's sake, stop provoking him Ry' I said smacking him on the head. 'Just don't mind him, Sam. He is crazy. So tell me are you ready???' I asked excitedly.

For the first time in my life I am feeling nervous. I hope nothing goes wrong, he said wringing his hands. 'Don't worry Sam. Em loves you more than anything in the world. And I'm sure she's gonna love this' I said encouraging him.

A few minutes later, both Josh and Lisa arrived. You might be wondering where is Becca. She is sitting there in the corner sulking, as we didn't involve her in the plan. I tried to talk to her. But no response. She's always like this when she gets angry. But after a few minutes she will come nagging us by herself.

So our plan is this. Sam will be seated in one of the tables in the front of the diner talking to a lady which will be me (Don't worry she won't recognize me as for the first time in my life, I had straightened my hair and had worn a dress which is really not my style so as to confuse Em. And Becca had been constantly teasing me ever since we left our apartment asking if I dressed this way to impress Josh. She is going to get it from me very soon)

Sam will be facing the door so that Emma can see his face and only my back (Emma and Sam are living together. Sam lied to Emma that he has a dinner with a client. So Emma will never expect to see him here)

As soon as she arrives Sam will lead me to the 'proposal room' and Emma will surely follow us inside. We are planning to kill all the lights, light the candles and play Emma's favourite song 'Perfect' by Ed Sheeran. Then Sam will get down on his knees on the stage and pop the question.

Everything went according to our plan. Emma was dumbfounded seeing all of this. Then Sam popped the question and by the end she was a crying mess. She never expected that Sam will propose anytime soon as lately he had been really busy with his job (I'm really happy for them. They are my favorite couple. Also I am so excited as we have a wedding to plan. They are planning to have their wedding by the beginning of next year)

We took a lot of pictures with the couple. Josh and Lisa left a few minutes back. It was really difficult for me to handle Josh as he had been giving me these love-sick looks and was complimenting me for my new look (Of course, more than necessary)

He kept on doing these cute little gestures like helping me with the chair, filling my plate, staying by my side and of course shutting down Ryan's constant flirting. He was so obvious in his actions that Emma had been smirking at me the whole time. (So much for hiding from them!!!) Ryan had also left, as usual with a girl he met here and I'm sure that they are headed to some club. Lord save his soul....

Now its just the four of us. Becca is engrossed in eating her ice cream and Emma is busy uploading the pictures in her i********:.

'So how's your job Sam??? Em said that you had been quite busy lately' I asked Sam. What to say Lena, our ex-CEO's son got appointed as the new one and since then he has been giving us all a hard time. He is really cold, demanding and unapproachable. I don't know if you both remember or not but he went to high school with us -Adrian Knight. He was my junior, he said to both Emma and Becca.

Becca just nodded her head, for nothing is more important to her than her ice cream right now.

Yeah baby, I do remember him. He was our senior and a spoilt brat, said Emma.

You are right Em, but I have to admit that he is a great businessman. He is so dedicated to his job and is really hardworking.

Oh, so the playboy does have another side, Emma said surprised.

'Every coin has 2 sides, Em', I said smiling. 'Sam, did you know that Becca had quite a successful date last night ???' I said catching Becca off guard that she almost choked on her ice cream. Coughing hard, she glared at me. No need to thank me Becca. That's the least I can do. I smirked at her. That's my revenge for trying to act cupid for me.

Sam suddenly got into the "big brother mode". Who the hell is the guy and why didn't you tell me Becs??? Sam asked getting furious.

That Sam, you know, I myself was not so sure about it and so I thought we should get to know each other first and then we'll see where it goes and.....Becca started blabbering. She does this whenever she is nervous.

Looking at Sam I guess she does have a reason to be nervous. Sam seems really angry. Are all big brothers like him??? No idea...

Quit it Becs, tell me who is this guy ??? Sam asked again.

Actually Sam, I think you know him Dave Miller, he was my classmate, she said looking scared.

Yeah I know that guy, wasn't he the football team captain at your time??? Sam asked. Yeah the same guy baby and I think he is quite serious about our Becca, Emma said trying to calm him down (I think Dave has quite a good reputation as after hearing his name Sam surprisingly got calm....)

Oh my god Becs, I never imagined that I'll see the day when my little sister will date a guy. I expected that I will have to threaten a guy and make him propose to you, Sam said teasing her.

Oh god Sam, I am also a normal girl!!!!! Yeah soooo normal that you kept a spider as your pet when normal girls used to scream at it. I still remember the day her first boyfriend almost p***ed his pants seeing his girlfriend's so called pet....both Emma and Sam broke into laughter. Becca threw a bottle at them sticking out her tongue and I laughed at their antics (Real mature guys!!!!!!)

Jokes apart Becs, Dave is the CFO in the company that I'm working in, Sam said.

Oh that's great baby, now you can get to know your future brother-in-law better, Emma chirped (Awww...Becca is looking so red like a tomato. I'll have to help Becca or these two won't stop teasing her. After all, I'm the one who started this. I'm not that heartless to betray my friend. Dave is good for Becca and so, I wanted Sam to know about him. I have a feeling that Dave and Becca will end up together)

'Quit teasing her guys, its getting really late and I need a good sleep' I said standing up. Sam stood up yawning and said, lets go Em, I have an important meeting with the CEO & COO in the morning.

'Good night guys' I said and dragged a pouting Becca with me. Both Emma and Sam shouted us good night and moved towards their car. We took a cab and all through the way Becca had been rambling about the proposal and their wedding next year. I am sure that their wedding is going to be a blast.....

Finally we are back in our apartment. Mumbling a goodnight to Becca I went to my room. As soon as I got inside, I heard my phone ringing. Its my mom.

Rose, where are you right now??? she asked as I answered the call. 'Momma, I am in my room. Where else would I be right now!!!! Its 11 at night!!!!' I said trying to make a joke. If my mom gets to know that I was out at this hour, I will never hear the end of it.

Oh, I was just teasing you, she said laughing. 'Oh god momma, you are unbelievable. So, tell me why did you call me???' I asked getting curious, I can hear it from her tone that she is stressed about something. She usually jokes when she is nervous.

Nothing special. Does a mother always need a reason to call her favourite daughter??? she asked trying to convince me, but I know better.

'Momma don't try to fool me okay. I can feel it from your voice. What is it???' I asked again. Okay, I give up. Its just that....we want you to get married this year, she said shocking me.

'Momma, please. Not again. I have already told you that I don't want to get married now. I'm only 24. I need some time for myself' I reasoned.

Thats exactly what I am saying. You are already 24. Everyone in the family is asking me when is your marriage. You are 24 and has a good job. What else do you want??? Why can't you just agree??? she asked getting irritated.

'Momma I am not ready for it yet. I need some time, okay' I whined.

You have been saying the same thing for months. Yesterday we got a proposal through your uncle. They saw you last time when you came here for Maria's (my cousin) marriage. The boy is a software engineer in Florida and the family is good too. Your father seems to like them. So, I suggest you to better prepare yourself for the marriage, she said nonchalantly.

'What!!!!! Momma, that guy lives in Florida. Its really far from here.....' I said dumbfounded.

'So what, you will have to shift to Florida. Anyway its the same country. Don't you know that after marriage women are supposed to adjust for their husband and not the other way around, she said scolding me.

'Momma its the 21st century. And believe me I won't come back home if you people keep on forcing me for marriage' I threatened her.

Okay, no problem. I dare you to tell this directly to your Papa, she said challenging me (She got me there. I am really scared of my papa and I never go against his words) So, think about it. I've got to go now. I'll call you tomorrow, saying this she hung up (Great momma, you didn't even ask your daughter if she is fine. Marriage, marriage, marriage. Arghh....I so want to kill myself right now)

I changed into my pyjamas, recited the Angelus and laid down on my bed. As I slipped into a deep sleep I saw the same Grey eyes staring back at me.
