(Aya’s POV)“Aya, are you sure you’re heading to the right address?” Addie asked me.“Rose Hills, right?” I gritted my teeth. I was glad we were only talking over the phone; if not, I would have strangled my cousin. “And guess what? I was literally walking on a hill!” I growled, hating that I rode the bus instead of a taxi.I had to use GPS to help me find the address she gave, and before I knew it, I was already walking through a long winding road because the Carlington Residence was sitting beautifully on the hill.“Ah!” Addie chuckled, not expecting this would happen to me. “Tell me, where are you now?”“I’m now in front of Buckingham Palace,” I answered, squinting at the luxury villa behind the majestic and elegant metal railing of the gate and checking my cell phone, telling me I had reached my destination.After an hour of walking, I finally reached the end of my journey, only to be stopped by the guard as he asked for my purpose.“Interview,” I mouthed.“ID and letter,” he mutt
Paint My World Red Chapter 2 – Aya, Duck!
(Aya’s POV)My hands flew, covering my face, hoping they would hide me from embarrassment when my three interviewers stood up. Tears rolled down my cheeks, wishing I had the power to vanish from the face of the earth.“Is everything all right?” It was Liam’s voice, asking me worriedly.I shook my head, then nodded, unsure what to tell them, but there was no other way to get out of this place except to walk the long hallway to reach the main door, hike down to get into the gate, and go on foot to the bus station unless I wanted to roll down from the gate.“My legs…” I cried, pointing at my right leg, not caring about the job anymore. I just wanted to get this over with and run away from them. “Oh!” Ariana exclaimed. “Did you walk here with those really beautiful shoes?”I could imagine her suppressing a smile, but I had to answer her, so I nodded. Then, I heard a sigh, and my body jerked when someone knelt before me and took off my shoes.“Ariana, ask for the heating pad. Liam, get m
Paint My World Red Chapter 3 – Can You Be My Girlfriend
(Red’s POV) “She’s trouble, Liam,” I sighed. I didn’t know if I would be relieved that her choice was a woman, not my kind or me. I was tired of women chasing me after my wife died in a plane crash. “How can you say she’s trouble? You haven’t seen her with your kids yet,” he chuckled, narrowing his eyes at me. “Don’t tell me you’re attracted to her.” I opened my mouth to lie, but he raised his index finger, stopping me from talking. “I’m a man too, Red, and I saw how you looked at her,” he clucked his tongue. “She’s one lad with perfect orbs inside her blouse and the legs, man! Don’t tell me you didn’t feel anything?” “I don’t know what you’re saying,” I denied. “Aya’s beautiful. She should be joining the pageants, not applying for a nanny.” He continued to pile the papers on the table. “Oh, by the way, your mother-in-law called, asking about the kids again.” He stopped what he was doing, crossing his arms to his chest as he looked at me. “Why don’t you allow them to have a va
Paint My World Red Chapter 4 – Fill My Life With You
(Aya’s POV)“Are you asking me if I want to accept the job?” I asked Red, clarifying if I was truly hearing it from him.“That’s just what I’ve said, Aya,” he said as he stared into my eyes.I blinked, wanting to tell Red to stop looking into my eyes because I could hardly think. I was sitting across the most handsome guy I had ever met, so gorgeous that if his lips kissed me, I might forget that I was here for a job and was under a pretense about my gender. He shouldn’t be my type, but her alluring sister. I just wished he would relax and show me those perfect teeth in his smile but smiling around this place seemed a mortal sin.Ariana was the only sinner.“If you accept the job, I will have the contract ready so you can review it,” He said, looking at my feet.When his forehead creased, I curled my toes and was relieved he was looking at my feet. At least he would not see my cheeks turning crimson. Good thing Leslie encouraged me to join her in the nail salon yesterday because it wo
Paint My World Red Chapter 5 – Explain Yourself
(Aya’s POV)“Did you walk from Rose Hills to here?” Addie’s eyebrows were knitted, but I knew she was only teasing me as she widened the door.My digital wristwatch told me it was past ten in the evening already. I mouthed, ‘Sorry’ as I entered her apartment, put the paper bags down, and walked to the living room. I slumped on the couch and closed my eyes as my body screamed from exhaustion. I hardly noticed Leslie peering from the kitchen and then advancing toward us with beer cans in her hands.“Nope! I think she went shopping,” Leslie chuckled, placing the cans on the center table and glancing at the paper bags I placed beside the door.“Yeah!” I chuckled, opening one eye. “Where’s my daughter? I forgot to call dad to check on him.”“Katie’s sleeping, and don’t worry about Uncle Dean. Leslie tugged him here to have dinner with us but went home around eight to watch a ballgame. He’s bored, but he’s okay,” Addie assured me.I nodded, closing my eyes again, and if no one dared to talk
Paint My World Red Chapter 6 – The Conversation Or The Kiss
(Aya’s POV)“Mommy,” Katie’s sleepy voice woke me up from my insanity.Red’s eyes were wide as mine, still shocked by what I had done. I turned around immediately, ignoring Addie and Leslie gaping at us, and walked toward my daughter, yawning as she rubbed her eyes.“Hey, baby,” I bent forward, kissing her forehead. “Did we wake you up?” I carried her in my arms.“No, mommy,” she said, peering at Red and then burying her face in my neck, but she raised her head and looked at the door when we heard a knock.Leslie stepped toward the door, grinning like a Cheshire cat, as we all looked at who it was. Even Red turned around and leaned his head to the side to see who was on the other side of the door.“Uncle Dean,” Leslie faked a smile, opening the door wide and extending her arm so my father could hold to her as he entered the door. “I thought you were sleeping already. We’re thinking of just letting Aya and Katie sleep here.”“That’s what I was thinking too, but some lunatic pressed th
Paint My World Red Chapter 7 – Aya Is So You
(Red’s POV)The new nanny of my kids made my night sleepless, and it irked me that whenever I closed my eyes, I would remember Aya’s soft lips as she pressed her mouth to mine, trying to keep me quiet. Tired of forcing myself to sleep, I got up in bed at five in the morning and readied for my early run.I was hoping to run alone, but as I reached the porch, Mike and Liam were already there, chatting while stretching. When they turned to me, they chuckled, making it obvious I was the topic of their conversation. Skipping the stretching, I walked past them, not wanting to talk about Aya, but my two cousins jogged to catch on to me.“Couldn’t sleep?” Liam smiled naughtily, but I ignored him. “So, now that you know where Aya lives, what’s your plan?”“I told you I wanted to check her address myself,” I lied, tipping my head up to tell the guard to open the gate.He pressed the button, opening the gate but picking up the handset and alerting our security personnel that we were going out of
Paint My World Red Chapter 8 – The Beautiful Spokesperson
(Red’s POV)Breakfast was the only time I could see all my children before I got busy for the day, so I made time to sit with them in the dining room. On school days, breakfast had always been like a battle for the nannies. They struggled to wake them up early, and when they succeeded, the next fight would be how to encourage them to get out of bed and prepare them for school. When I sat in my usual seat at the head seat, I was not surprised to see Ariana in her seat. For the past few days, she could only sit with us when she was done supervising the nannies and made sure they successfully dragged my children to the dining room after screaming and crying. Even Violet, at her age, was hard to handle.“You let Aya handle the kids herself?” Liam’s eyes were panic-stricken, looking at Ariana as he pulled a chair.“You worry about her too much,” Mike smirked, sitting beside him.I ignored them and pretended to focus on the business article I was reading on my tablet. I only raised my head
