“A..are you freaking serious?” what the heck?! Babysitting a grown woman is not stated on the contract, and why does she need someone to babysit her? she can practically take care of her self. She not a four years old.
“Do I look like I’m joking to you? Besides, I don’t have the time to fool around, young Miss.” She said.
“huh right” was all I said. I really can’t believe it. I must talk to Ms. Salazar about this later.
“I will lead you to your room, you will be punished later.” She said.
“huh? what punishment? Why? What did I do?” I asked surprised fudge! I just got here, I haven’t even do anything yet, i don't deserve that punishment.
“Silence! I rule this house, what i say goes” She said. Then she stood up from her chair and started to walk.
Aish!! I have no choice but to follow her while carrying all my belongings. Why did she even dismissed the man in suit? It was hard carrying all these luggages by myself.
By the way, i kept following her to where is she heading to and even thru all my struggles, I've noticed how fierce she looks. Even based on how she walk and each step she takes, it all says ‘ELEGANCE and POWER’. She really has this aura around her screaming ‘I am the boss'.
what was her name again? it's almost same as mine right? oh yeah, i remembered Gaze called her Moon.
Moon has this doe eyes, cute small pointy nose and a not so thin but not so thick either kind of lips that makes her face more strikingly beautiful. She has this sassy asymmetrical pixie haircut with light blue hair color. She has a body that all girls would wish to have. A body that all the guys would drool for.
“We’re here.” Moon stops in the front of a room door then looks at me straight into my eyes.
Did she notice me studying her and looking at her body? Is she going to reprimand me for that? because if so, then she doesn't have to. I'm not checking her out, I just envy her for her perfect body. And yeah, what’s new with having a boss that looks pretty, right? I think everyone would have experienced having a boss who looks so attractive during their tenure right?
I shift my eyes to the door we stopped to.
“My room is right in front of yours. I will leave you here for now so you could fix your things first, then come to my office after 15mins.” She said.
“Yes ma’am.”
“And… stop looking at my a*s. I know I am blessed to have such a nice butt, but refrain yourself from looking.” With all seriousness, she said. Then walks away.
Tsshh.
“I know I am blessed to have such a nice butt” I said mocking her. “Good for you, no need to rub it in,” I said to myself, I know I'm having an attitude problem, but… grr.
I put my things inside the cabinet. The room is quite big to be a babysitter's quarter. I mean, isn’t a babysitter’s room usually shared with maids?
After 10 mins. I am done arranging my stuffs.
‘Right! I must call Ms. Salazar. That con woman!’ I said.
I dialed her number and after a few rings, she answer it.
“Why didn’t you tell me that I'm not going to take care of a baby nor a kid, but a full grown woman?!” I asked fumint. I didn’t even let her greet me or what.
“I did not? Really?” She said sounding startled, like as if saying that she did tell me before, and that i just didn’t listen.
“Argghhh!! You deceived me, why? Is that also the reason why a lot of babysitter has been fired recently?” I asks.
“HAHAHAHA” Ms. Salazar laughed. “no.”
“Then what? Do you know the reason? I am starting to hate youuu. Why am I here?”
“Relax, Luna. You’ll know. Bye for now, save your hatred and rants ‘til our next conversation. I got a lot of work to do.” She said. Tss she’s just running away from my anger by divering the issue. “By the way. She hates late comers. So if I were you, RUN” then Ms. Salazar ended the call. What is she talking about? I look at my phone to check the time and see if my 15 mins is done.
“13mins.” I still have 2 mins left.
But wait… we got here about 5mins. It means… sheez!! I need to RUUUNNN!
I remembered her telling me that I will be having a punishment later for some unknown reason, maybe it’s her way to welcoming me, note the sarcasm. I don’t like the Idea of adding another thing on my punishment, so I better run.
30sec. left. Why does everything looks the same? What does her office even looks like? Aishh… I forgot.
5sec. left. Shooot! Then suddenly, a door on the left side opened. Gaze come out with a woman behid her. I guess that’s her Nana.
“Yunaaa!!” Gaze said excitedly as she sees me. Then Moon come out.
“You’re late.” She said. “I only give you 15mins. Not 16mins.” Oww.. she’s too strict with time.
“You’re Punishment will be added.” She continued. Aishh!
--
I am waiting for Moon and her so called punishment though I'm so not looking forward to it, luckily she has a lot of things to do. She said she’ll call me later once she finished whatever it is lshe’s doing and that she will make sure that I will receive my punishment by that time. She said I can go to my room during her absence or i could tour around the house. Well, I guess I’ll do to the latter one. Having a tour in her house looks more inviting than being cooped up inside my room.
I decided to walk around and bring the emergency phone Moon gave me.
Flashback:
“Here, take this.” Moon handling me a box. It looks like a brand new phone.
“I have my own phone,” I said. “No need to give me a new one. My phone is still working. It works perfectly fine.” I continue.
“Nah. This phone is private, for this household's use only.” She said.
“Huh?” I asked confusedly.
“I won’t give you my number on your personal phone. This one have a contacts with all the important person here in the house. You will only call me or them using this phone. I won’t answer it if it came from an unknown number. All of us, the driver, security guard, butler, and the chef was saved in your phone’s contacts.” She said.
‘Woah, is there such a thing like this? This is cool.’ I said in my mind.
“Oh, okay.” Was all I said.
“I will call you on that number. I don't like waiting so make sure that once I call you, you should answer quickly. If i ringed you three or more times before you answer punishment will be served.”
She’s not only strict with time but with how many phone rings too. she's weird.
“Yes, ma’am.”
“You may go.”
I left her office and stroll around the house. I wonder where her parents is? Oh, maybe they are on business trips or somewhere around the globe. Most rich people goes abroad to live there, have a vacation or for business trips and ventures.
‘Woahh!!’ I exclaimed, surprised by their garden. There's a lot of different kinds of flowers in there. It makes this place looks like good relaxation spot or a secret haven. I am not really a plant lover so I don’t know what kinds of flowers and their specific names are but there's a lot. it's amazing, it is obvious that they really take good care of these.
I took a picture of the beautiful flowers using my personal phone.
‘Oh, right. Moon handed me a new phone. Let me try to use it.’ I look at the phone’s brand and it says ‘Moonstar’
“Hi there!”says a boy that suddenly pops up in front of me.
“Hi.” I replied back. “Who are you and what are you doing here?” I asked. The boy looks to be around 13-15 years old. He’s wearing a maxi dress with pocket, a yellow shirt underneath, a boots and a hat.
“My name is Jason, I'm a gardener.” He said cheerfully.
“Wait, how old are you?” I asked.
“I am 12 Ma’am.” He said. Wait, he’s just 12 years old? he's tall but what does a 12 year old doing here? wait, did he just say he's a gardener?
“You’re working here?” I asked.
“I am.” He said.
“That’s illegal! Children shouldn’t be working. You should be going to class.” I said. I knew it! Maybe Moon’s work is human trafficking. She shouldn’t allow minor kids to work her at the mansion.
I secretly turn the photos into video and recorded our conversation. I must gather evidence.
“Nah uh. Unless I work here full-time.” He said.
“What do you mean?”
“I am here because my father is buying some soil and seeds for the garden.”
“I see. Wait, are you sure you know what you are doing?” I asked. You can’t blame me. He’s just 12, most of the 12 years old kid I knew only plays or fool around.
“I am sure, and i know what I am doing ma’am.” He said.
“Don’t you want to play?” I asked.
“I enjoy gardening, it is fun. So I don’t think I need to play to enjoy.” He said.
“You’re a smart kid.” I said.
“Thank you.”
“But wait, you don’t have classes?” I asked.
“Hmm, what do you think?” he asked.
“I don’t know. Wait, don’t tell me, you are not attending class?”
“Hahaha! You’re funny miss. Of course I am attending classes. In fact Madam paying my tuition fees every school year.” He said.
“I see. Why aren’t you in school then?”
“There is this thing called a school break. All of our teachers and also the principal, together with the owner of the school has a yearly trip abroad.”
“really, there's a thing like that?” I asked. In my previous school, elementary, senior high and even in college, there is no such thing as that. We didn’t hear anything to our teachers about such trips.
“In our school, there is.”
“Your school is amazing then”
“Of course it is. Ms. Moon is one of the owner of that school”
“Really?!” hmm so one of Moon’s business is school.
“Yes. Though she’s not a full time owner. I think more like a co-owner? Ahh I don’t really know more about the owner thing. But all I knew is that, she’s part of it.”
“I see.”
“Yupsie.” He replied. Jason is cute. I bet if he grows up, he’ll be a chic magnet or a campus heartthrob.
"by the way, you said even the owner has a trip right? And Moon is one of the owner, Why isn't she with them?" I asked.
"Ow... She said she'll be waiting for her new secretary so she won't come with them" Jason said. I see. She did not come with them and join them just to wait for me. How sweet she is. I think she just want to welcome me with her punishment. Aish.
“Anyway, I noticed the phone you're using while taking pictures earlier.” Jason said.
“Ah, yeah. Moon gave it to me.”
“Didn't you know?”
“What?”
“It is Miss Moon’s personalized phone.” Jason said.
“what do you mean?” I asked.
“Miss Moon contacted some company to make her a few personalized phone. The features of the phone was designed by Miss Moon. She only gives it to the staffs inside the mansion whom she thinks she can trust.”
“Woahh, really?” So she trusts me?
“Yep. For what I know there is only 10 phones personally made for Miss Moon.”
“That explain why Moonstar was written on the phone then.” I said.
“Yup!”
“I thought it was a new brand coming up that’s why it was unfamiliar.”
“Nope. The brand name is actually Miss Moon’s name, it's not out in the market or it will ever be, also, it has a tracking device.”
“What do you mean?”
“In case you’re lost, or the phone has been snatch or lost, all the contacts that was written on the phone will received a text, about the location of the phone, the picture of the place, the picture of the last person who holds the phone and to whose phone was missing.”
“Really?!”
“I told you. It was designed by Miss Moon. So it has a unique features inside.”
“Wait, so in short, there is no such thing as privacy?”
“Nope. those features that I've mentioned will be activated once the phone detected an unfamiliar fingerprints or if that person holds the phone for more than 3mins.”
“Wait, so it means, no one can borrow this phone or use it for emergency like texting or calling someone?”
“No, the phone was designed for personal use of the handler only. That’s why you still have your personal phone, the one you use before you received that phone.”
“I see.”
“Also, your phone has an unlimited load for internet purposes.”
“This one sure is a cool thing!” I said.
“It is.”
“Do you have one?” I asked.
“Nope. But I have a phone that was given by Miss moon. Just an ordinary phone for students.” He said.
“Why?” I asked.
“Because, I am not an adult.”
“I see.”
“By the way, you've mentioned earlier about the phone’s fingerprint. How does that worked? I haven't explored the settings yet.” I said. I'm still confused on how this thing works.
“the moment you touch the phone, your fingerprint was already been recognized by your phone”
I see, so that’s why Moon gave it to me with the box. This is really cool.
“That’s cool.” I said.
“Indeed. By the way, wanna see my new plant?” Jason invited.
“Sure.” I said.
Jason tour me around the garden and introduces me to the different kinds of plants and flowers there. You can see in his eyes that he loves what he’s doing. If you really love what you are doing, no matter how tiring it is, you won’t feel it because every drop of your sweat is worth it. I hope I can get a job that I love, too. I envy Jason, he enjoys what he does, while here I am working a job that I don’t even have any background of.
After Jason introduces me to his masterpiece, which is those flowers he planted, he lead me to a small nipa hut.
“Most of the time, I rest here.” Jason said.
“This is so refreshing.” I said.
“By the way, I already introduced myself but I still don't know your name. what is your name, miss?” Jason asked.
“Luna. My name is Luna.” I said.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Luna. It’s good to have a new people here.” Jason cheerfully said as he welcome me.
“Why?” I asked.
“Hmm because I am tired of seeing those same faces everyday.” He said jokingly. I chuckled.
“Wait, you said you're Luna right? Isn’t it the other name for Moon?” Jason asked.
“Yes it is.” I said, “Gaze asked that too.” I chuckled.
“Oh, you met Gaze?”
“Yes, she’s so adorable and cute.”
“No. she’s an annoying little kid who always messes up with my plants.” Jason irritatingly said.
“Why? Maybe she’s happy to see your beautiful flowers and plants.” I said.
“Nahh. I always caught her plucking the flowers I planted. Arrghh that kid!”
I laughed at him.
“Maybe she just love those?” I said.
“If you love the flowers, you won’t pluck them. You’ll water them.” He said.
“Chill there young boy. Easy! Hahaha I’ll tell Gaze not to do that.” I said.
“As if she’ll listen.”
“She looks like she’s a behave baby.”
“Don’t be deceived by her looks. She might have innocent looks, like as if she’s an angel from heaven when in fact, she’s a headache. A menace.” Jason described.
“I see you’re not getting along with that kid, huh?”
“I hate her for ruining my plants. She's such a spoiled brat.”
Hahahaha
“does Gaze live here?” I asked.
“Nope, but she lives nearby. Gaze just loves to be here. Plus, the chef in this house is Gaze’s babysitter’s mother. You know? I mean, the cook is her babysitter’s mother. Gaze's babysitter.” Jason said, having a hard time explaining to me about their connection.
“HAHA I understand Jason.” I said. He’s so cute.
“What’s her connection with Moon?” I asked.
“Nothing. For what I know, Gaze’s mother, is the daughter of the previous babysitter of Moon. Uh.. you understand, right?” I smile at him. I am a little bit confused but I am trying to understand it.
“Uhh.. The one who takes care of Madam Moon since she was a baby, has a daughter. Her daughter is a grown woman now. And that grown woman, has a baby, and that’s Gaze's.” Jason said. Maybe he noticed that I am confused by what he is saying.
“Ohh.. I understand now.” I said.
“Hoo. Good thing.” He sighed in relief. He’s a cute gentleman.
“But wait, Where’s Moon’s parents?” I asked.
“That’s an off limit topic. Hehe. Sorry Luna, I think I have to zip my mouth on that one.” Jason said.
“Oh… it’s fine.” I said though i really want to know where her parent is. Earlier when I stroll around, I noticed that there is no family picture posted in the house. It’s all Moon’s face. No sign of a father figure or a picture of a woman.
“By the way Luna, I think I should go now, I haven’t mowed the grass yet. I’ll talk to you later when I see you, ok?” Jason said.
“Sure thing.” I said, smiling at him.
It’s really fun to meet someone who’s cheerful and friendly like him. He’s so talkative. I learn a lot of things from this house because of him. He’s a nice, gentle young man.
I stayed in the hut for another hour. I think, Moon is too busy. I check my phone and there is still no update from Moon.
“I think I should continue to stroll around.” I walk inside the house.
It takes about 30mins to get inside the house, this place is huge. Children can even play here, they can hide, run around and enjoy. Adults can have a party in here too. The place is huge. They can invite a lot of people. Plus there is also a pool area too. They can held a party in there if they want to.
If this is my house, I will enjoy doing a lot of things even just by myself.
I continue to walk around when I notice the garage area. It has four cars. Two sports car, one van and one normal car. Hmm… I guess Moon is practical. Most rich people i know mostly collects or buys a lot of sports car, lamborghinis or ferraris for display, but Moon only bought two sports car and the rest is for service.
“I know what you’re thinking.” Suddenly a man pops up in front of me. I was spooked.
I looked at him, another man wearing in white suit. But not the one who drives me here earlier. I think this is their uniform.
“What?” I said. Have I already described him? Probably not. I think he’s around forties? Good looking guy with a well built body. I think he always goes to the gym.
“Hmm.. I forgot. Hehe” He said. I just shook my head.
“Is that a thing in here?” I asked.
“What?” He asked back.
“does all people here loves to pops out of nowhere? Do you really love startling people that much?” I asked.
“Not really, did I scare you?” He asked. He’s friendly too. Just like Jason. I see Jason in him in the future.
“By the way, I’m Eulo.” He said.
“Eulo? Niice to meet you. I’m Luna.” I said.
“Yeah, I know you. Miss Moon is looking for you.” He said. “She asked me to come and get you” he continued.
“I see, but why didn’t she just call?” I asked.
“I don’t know?” Eulo said.
“By the way, what are you here at the mansion? I'm sure you're not her father because she definitely won’t ask her father to come looking for me.” I said.
“You’re not sure.” He replied.
“Wait, what?! Don’t tell me…”
“HAHAHA I’m just messing with you, kid. I’m not her father. I’m Miss Moon’s butler. At your service.” he said.
That explain why he has a well built body.
“Do you know karate? Kung fu?” I asked.
“You’ll see.” He said shortly. Smiling at me. "Let's go, we don't want her to wait any longer"
I followed Eulo inside the house. But before we enter… something caught my eyes.
“Wait a minute” I whisper. I noticed a big bike beside the car.
“This big bike looks familiar.” i said talking to myself. I walk at the back of the bike to see the plate number.
“I knew it!”
