BABYSITTING ANDREA : CHAPTER 21 – 30

Chapter 28
Dylan groaned for the umpteenth time on the bare floor.. rolling to the other side
“Gosh my whole body aches” he winced and raised his head to see Brinkley sleeping widely on the bed like an !diot
He sighed.. of course he couldn’t sleep with Brinkley on the same bed, he chose to sleep on the floor even though he’s regretting it now
“I hope Claribel endures this all.. she must not back off on our plans” he thought adjusting his head on the pillow
“Dad..!” He folded his fists tightly

Claribel couldn’t sleep also, she kept rolling from side to side on the small flat bed.. the bed was so flat that she kept wondering how the maids slept comfortably on it
The quarters had only two medium sized rooms and three toilet… There was no air conditioner neither was there a ceiling fan.. it was just the natural chilly breeze blowing through the large windows and a small standing fan in each room
The room was dark and had only one small bulb that shone its little light unlike her room in Dylan’s house as a nanny
“I miss Andrea”
She groaned as one of the maids leg hit her tummy for the second time.. seven maids actually shared four beds and each room had twelve beds in total
“Argh..” She had to wince silently as she grabbed the maid leg throwing it away roughly
She shook her head in irritation watching the maid who was so deeply asleep
“God this is prison..!!” Her mind screamed as she wished the day will break anytime soon

After what seemed like forever.. it was finally six in the morning.. the maids who had woken up few minutes earlier left the room for the preparation of the day’s activities after the alarm rang
Claribel watched them leave and jumped out of bed… She had been pretending to be asleep..
Somehow, she found a new toothbrush in the bathroom and quickly brushed her teeth and wash up
By the time she checked what the time was.. it was already fifteen minutes past six… She left the room silently heading to the balcony where she assumed Dylan had been waiting for her

“You’re late” he said and she rolled her eyes standing beside him as they both rested on the rails watching the few stars in the dark sky
“I had to wait for the maids to leave.. morning” she said and surprisingly he smiled
“Morning..”
“I think I have to tell you the truth..” he said after a long silence.. her gaze landed on him
“Andrea’s mum is.. is dead” he said slowly
“I know.. I knew somehow, I’m sorry” she said and he breathed heavily
“You behave so much like her and you both have the same eyes and colour of hair that’s why I mistake you for her most times” He said
Claribel turned to him in surprise
He’s unusually gentle and calm.. not the psycho boss she used to know
“And ever since then.. I never fell for any other woman… In short, I gave up on love.. my parents began to pester me to get Andrea a mum” he paused looking directly into her ocean- blue eyes
She blinked
“…they got me betrothed to the Wilson’s daughter.. who is a drug addict and there’s no way I’m marrying her, that’s why I had no choice than to lie to my dad that I have lover.. which Deanna and I persuaded you to act as, but with the look of things now, he’s hell bent on me getting married to Brinkley..” he said
Claribel was dumbfounded.. she could only stare
“Right now, I think we have to make it look so real till he finally agrees that I can’t marry the Wilson’s daughter” Dylan said and Claribel furrowed her brows
“How.. how do we make it look so real even when we both know its just a plan?!” She found herself asking
Dylan sighed frustratingly
“Listen.. you’re the only lady I talk to apart from Deanna.. as my daughter’s nanny and I want you to do this for me, for the sake of Andrea.. she needs a good mum..” he stopped
“Soo…?” She asked in curiosity
“Let’s arrange a grand wedding to make it look so real..” Dylan dropped the bombshell and Claribel’s eyes widened
“Grand… Grand what..?!”

Chairman James’s mansion..
“Let’s arrange a grand wedding to make it look so real..” Dylan dropped the bombshell and Claribel’s eyes widened
“Grand… Grand what..?!” She almost froze staring at him in awe as their eyes bored into each other
Dylan sighed
“I knew she wouldn’t accept this” he thought
“Madame Deanna never mentioned we having a grand wedding” Claribel snapped
“Well.. it was part of our plan… She didn’t tell you cuz she knew you definitely won’t agree” Dylan said sincerely and Claribel scoffed
“There’s no way I’m doing that okay..?!, I was only asked to act this weekend and not to have a wedding with you.. it’s absurd Dylan!” She half yelled calling him by name without realizing
He sighed
“But..”
“Never call me for something like this again..! I regret agreeing to even do this.. imagine, I couldn’t sleep a wink.. I’m done!” She said frankly, proceeding to leave
Dylan grabbed her left hand gently pulling her back..
“Listen.. you’re in this already and you can’t back out, even if you can’t do this for me..!
Think about Andrea, how would you feel if a drug add!ct becomes her mom who could just lose her senses one day and injure her.. and to think that she calls you mum!! you definitely will lose your job if I marry the Wilson’s daughter cuz she identifies you as my fiancee.. and then you will have a very slim possibility in being with Andrea again… Claribel, think!!” Dylan said staring completely into her eyes
She kept staring at him thinking about what he just said
He’s right..!!, she cherishes Andrea alot and would try doing anything to make her happy and the fact that she truly calls her mum makes her conscience scold her so harshly
She looked on.. breathlessly
“I know it’s wrong, but we just have to do it.. I could marry someone else but not her.. not Brinkley, Claribel, you’re my last hope now” Dylan said with pleading eyes
She released her hand slowly from his grip without breaking the stare …
“I have to go now” she stuttered and slowly left without looking back.. not even once
Dylan heaved a deep sigh, running his fingers across his hair
“I knew she would not agree” he thought loudly.. and slowly he left
