Chapter 5 It's just acting

Mia's POV

Lilly left few minutes after she threatened me and gave me a scare.

As much as I hated to admit it, that girl was as scary as hell.

How can someone be so cute, yet so vicious at the same goddamn time.

I got up immediately, to look around. The place was beautiful, and huge. I had never even visited a place like this in my dreams not to talk of in real life.

I had less than two hours to get ready for the day. But for a person who was used to getting ready in under ten minutes, two hours felt like a whole lot of time.

I got down from the bed, taking in the beauty of the room. Everything was so gorgeous and screaming expensive. I saw a white door by the corner of the room, and with me being me, I went there and opened it.

I gasped in amazement at what I saw. It was a fully furnished walk in closet. Everything was there, rating from the shoes to bags to the clothes... Even the underwear, everything was there!

And what surprised me the most was that, they were all my size!

How did Alexander know my size?

The thought consumed me to the point, that I unconsciously hugged myself.

He said he wasn't the one who changed my clothes, so I ought to believe him. Because seriously, even if he was a pervert, he looked way to rich to like someone like me.

The thought, though degrading, calmed me down. I picked up a gown and just went o the bathroom.

Two hours later I was standing at the huge living room waiting for Alexander and his little brat of a witch to come down.

" Daddy, I really don't need a nanny, please..." I heard Alexander's little witch say.

She was coming down from the stairs with Alexander right beside her, holding her tiny hands.

Lilly gave me a disapproving glance when she saw me standing there.

" Yes you do. I have to go to work, but I'll see you later". Alexander said as he left without even sparing me a glance.

I just stood there awkwardly in front of his little witch."

What are you standing there for? Get to work! My dad doesn't pay you to just goof around". Lilly said in a commanding tone.

Your dad doesn't even pay me at all! I so badly wanted to bite back.

But I held it in.

Mia, this isn't the time for you to be stubborn. This isn't your house, nor do you have any say here. I repeated to myself.

I clenched my hands to a fist and gritted my teeth. This girl should be glad that I owe her father my dignity, and most probably my life.

" What... What do you want me to do for you?" I said in-between my gritted teeth.

Lilly titled her head and blinked her big blue eyes. I must confess she did look cute, but not cute enough to fool me.

" Let's head over to my room. " She declared.

With a flick of her hair, she turned around and began walking back up the stairs.

" Let head over to me room..." I mimicked in annoyance.

She turned back to look at me, and I immediately bowed my head.

" Did you say anything? " She asked coldly coming to stand beside me.

" No" I shook my head frantically.

"Good". She snorted before resuming back the walk to her room.

Hold shit, was I terrified!

This girl is the devil's incarnate!

I followed her with my mouth shut. Before I knew it we were at the her room.

My mouth opened in awe at what I saw.

No one needed to tell me it was a rich, bratty little girl's room even if I had never met Lilly. The room was completely colored in pink. From the princess bed in the center to the walls and even the doors, they were all coloured in different kind of pink.

And her bed... Oh her bed, it was the type of bed I wanted for myself when I still little. Long time ago, before I knew how heartless the world can truly be.

Lilly just went to sit on the pink couch by the bed.

She said something, that I knew because I saw her mouth move, but my mind was not there at all.

The room made me feel like I was in my fantasy land, in a place where I could have money enough to get this for myself.

I had always loved pink, but after an incident that happened almost fifteen years ago, I had to forget about all the childish dreams of mine and grow up.

But seeing Lilly's room brought them back

" Mia..." I heard her call, but I was still very much engrossed in the beauty of her room and my imaginations to answer.

I felt when she stood up from my bed and stood directly in front of me.

" Mia". She called again, this time around she shouted so loud that it snapped me out of my imaginations.

The only thing rope holding my mouth shut snapped alongside my imaginations.

" What is your problem!" I shouted back at her.

She was visibly shocked.

I was also surprised myself.

What did I just do?

Lilly's lips began to tremble lightly, Oh my God was this girl going to cry...

I panicked, steeping back a little.

" I'm sorry I didn't mean to..." I attempted to hold her hands but she brushed me of fast.

"Don't touch me". She said with trembling lips. Her eyes were already red, by now I was very sure she was going to cry.

" Hey, I didn't mean to, I was just..."

I was in trouble.

I had no idea how to pet a child.

For God sake, I've never been in a room with a child for more that five minutes. And that was when my older sister just gave birth to her first child. She literally had to force me to watch him for her.

Children were really not my thing, and now I'm a nanny to one, not just any one, a little witch who is also a cry baby!

I could see that Lilly was trying hard not to cry, but it just wasn't working.

Oh God, could it be that this girl have never been yelled at before?

" I'm sorry. "

" I was looking at your room, them I remembered that I used to want something like this when I was little".

"Was that why you shouted at me? I'll tell my dad about..."

"Noooo," I shook my hands in front of her. Why was this girl making apologizing more difficult than it already was?

" Are you a crybaby? Why are you crying just because I yelled at you? Where I'm from we don't do that ". I said frustrated.

Apologizing to Lilly was not working, it's as if the more I apologize the more the girl adds fuel to her tears.

The next thing I saw was Lilly wiping her tears with her hands, and a huge smile on her pretty face.

What's going on? Was this girl bipolar?

" Where are you from, Mars? " She asked way more relaxed that she was few seconds ago.

"But you were..." I struggled for words as I watched the transformation, from a crying little child, back to the proud little witch.

" It's called acting, my dear Mia".

My eye balls grew so wide that they could fall from their sockets

Acting? She was acting?

" Do you think that I would cry just because you yelled at me? " She snorted.

" It's just practice, for how to tell my dad when I don't want you in this house anymore".

I stood there frozen.

It was just acting...

Then I looked up at Lilly who had a triumphant smile on her cute face.

This girl maybe a bigger devil than I thought!
