Chapter 40

Few minutes later, the Home economics entered and the students settled down immediately

“Good morning class..” the middle-aged woman said and only a few muttered “good morning”

“Well.. as I said during the last class, the next two weeks will be for practicals alone, so I’ll be grouping you all now” she said and the murmurs, mumbles and groans of the students followed

“Quiet!!” She growled and they all kept shut

“There’ll be five groups and each group will be participating in the practicals I’ll state before I leave..” She continued and started the grouping

Harold, Jessica and Simpson fell into the same group

Dior, Nikita and Charles.. Harold’s best friend, fell into the same group

Audrey fell into a different group

Simpson smiled knowingly

“The first practical will be tomorrow.. each group will be cooking whatever it is asked

to…” The teacher said

“What if we are asked to cook something we don’t know how to prepare..” Bella, a girl at the front asked

“None of my business..” The teacher shrugged

“That’s why you’re being grouped..” She stopped, studying their expression for a moment

“Mind you.. the practicals will be part of your continuous assessment for the term” she added

“Okay..”.

She explained few other things and revised their previous topics before finally leaving the class

The bell rang indicating break time and the students scurried to the cafeteria..

“Hey.. let’s have lunch together” Simpson said to Harold who was about proceeding to meet Jessie

He furrowed his brows

“No thanks..” he said simply

Simpson bit her lip in disappointment

“We’re in the same group.. I’m glad” she giggled annoyingly and Jessie scoffed from where she was

“Interesting..” Harold flashed a smile and she extended her hands immediately for an handshake

“I’m Simpson.. Lorenzo Simpson” she smiled and he scoffed

“Why does that sound like ‘stup!d’..?!” Harold scoffed and Jessie almost bursted into laughter but quickly restrained

Simpson blinked repeatedly

“Wait…. What..??!!”

BABYSITTING ANDREA : CHAPTER 31 – 40

Dylan’s mansion..

“Andrea…” She called slowly and in the next minute, the little girl was already in her arms

Andrea’s arms were wrapped around her neck while Claribel embraced her tightly

Their tears wet each other shoulders and Claribel can’t deny it.. she grew fond of her and somehow feels connected to her, she feels so responsible for her motherly care and that’s why thinking of her gives her a second thought on what ever decision or action she tries to take

“Don’t leave me…. Please, I won’t cope, I swear, I won’t” Andrea said, hiccuping

Dylan held the rails of the stairs, watching their closeness and fondness.. he closed his eyes slowly

A smile escaped Deanna’s lips..

“It worked..!!, her statement worked!!”

Ann also flashed a broad smile in relief

“You can’t go now.. no matter what happens, we’ll fight this together” she thought, smiling broadly

The other maids also smiled, while few mumbled jealously

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry, I allowed my anger and resentment to take over me and I couldn’t think straight.. forgive me Andrea, I’ll definitely regret it if I leave… I’ve grew more fond of you and you calling me mum makes me more guilty” Claribel said, stroking her hair

“Don’t leave me.. stay with me and dad” Andrea sniffed

“You alone Andrea, I’m here for you and no one else” Claribel said..

Dylan’s eyes flew open, he sighed

“Seriously..?”

Princeton looked on confusedly

“Mum.. her parents are getting divorced?” He asked his mum in a whisper

Deanna shot him a hard glare.. twisting his ear

“Shut up..”

“Ouch..” he yelped

Deanna covered his mouth with her palms

“Wait till we are about leaving..” she glared

“It’s just a question mum.. are they divorcing or separating?” He asked again

Deanna gave no reply, diverting her gaze back to Andrea who was still in Claribel’s arms

“Excuse us..” Deanna said, turning to the maids and Ann

They left immediately with a bow

Princeton breathed

“Andrea.. You told me you’ll tell your mum to born you a younger sister.. how’s that gonna be possible when they’re getting divorced now” he said loudly and all eyes turned to him in surprise

Andrea got down slowly from Claribel’s arms while Deanna bit her lower lip

Dylan stared at the little boy in awe

“Mum and dad aren’t separating.. right?!” Andrea turned to Deanna

“Of course not… Princeton just shut the crap!” Deanna raised her voice

“Ohh” he mouthed

“Then tell her to bear you a kid sister!” He continued

“Princeton..!!!!” Deanna snapped, glaring daggers at him

Andrea flashed a smile

“Mum.. get married to dad, I need a kid sister” Andrea said

Claribel choked on nothing, her red eyes met with Dylan’s and he looked away immediately.

She blinked

“Kids.. go to the garden with Lady Ann okay?.. the adults need to talk” Deanna said quickly, changing the topic

Princeton and Andrea left immediately with a nod..

I think I should leave you both to talk.. You definitely need some privacy” Deanna said immediately after they left

Claribel wanted to stop her but she left immediately with a secret smile

An awkward silence followed immediately

“I’m sorry.. Claribel I swear, she injected me with a syringe that made me… Gosh!.. I’m really sorry” he suddenly said breaking the silence as he descended the stairs completely advancing slowly towards her

Claribel breathed

“You owe me no explanation.. not like we’re truly engaged, after all she’s your betrothed.. I have no right over you” she said

“Claribel…”

“I overreacted, I know but right now I’m here as a babysitter and nothing else..so lets not cross each other’s boundaries” she interrupted

He breathed

“Claribel.. we’ve gone too far already, my mum and family members identifies you as my fiancee, what do I tell them if you back off.. and besides, our plans..”

“Just get married to her okay… Please!, I’m not interested in any darn fking plans anymore, we all have different lives to live!..let’s not act as if we live in the same house just please.. let’s maintain the boss and babysitter relationship, okay!” She said at once and he sighed

She tried walking away, he grabbed her left arm, making her stop on her tracks

“You can’t do this..”

“Don’t touch me.. Please okay?!, after all, I’m nothing valuable to you, you are only using me to accomplish your plans and missions.. using me for your own selfish interest! I’m here for Andrea and not you!”

A tear escaped her eye immediately

Dylan couldn’t control it anymore, he pulled her closer to himself and embraced her tightly and surprisingly, she didn’t bother to struggle or restrain.. her tears made her weak

“Let’s stay like this for some minutes..” he whispered, stroking her hair slowly

Claribel cried on his chest remembering how she caught them together on the bed..

Her hands slowly found its to his back, hugging him back..

She suddenly pushed him away after a few seconds..

“Let’s maintain the distance” she said frankly and returned upstairs with her bags

“I think I’m going crazy..” Dylan muttered.
