WORKING AS A NANNY : CHAPTER 31 – 40

Chapter 35
We have to leave in four hours Ryan.” I say as soon as I’m done booking our flights after breakfast.
My son’s news has shaken me to the point that I’m afraid of doing the DNA test. I just want to leave.
“Where are we going mummy?” He asks jumping onto the couch that I’m sitting on. I look at him and smile.
“You’ll see.” I say and he lets out a pout. I open the site with different houses that I want to buy.
I have at least two million, nine hundred and eighty seven thousand dollars in my bank account and since I’m going to start a new life, I’ll have to find a job that doesn’t involve gvns and knlves.
I have to keep Ryan safe and that line of work won’t do it. Maybe I could apply to train people self defense. But I’m not patient.
“What’s wrong?” Ryan asks snapping me out of my thoughts. I place my hand on his shoulder and bring him closer kssing his hair.
“I’m thinking about these houses. Which one do you like?” I show him the three beautiful houses that I can easily afford. He looks at the houses with a grin.
“Which one has a swimming pool?” He asks and I smile fondly.
All of them have it. He always says how he would wish to live in a house with one. But I have to make it a surprise.
“I don’t know. They didn’t mention a pool in any of them.” He huffs making me want to laugh but I hold it in.
“How about this one then? We’ll build a swimming pool right Jada?” He asks innocently and I nod watching him as Jayden’s words keep on repeating inside my head.
I had a son. I have my son right here with me.
Dad always said the blue green eyes were a dominant gene on his side of the family.
He had them too but his sister, Julia and Julian’s mother had brown eyes from my grandmother but her children had the blue green eyes.
I palm Ryan’s cheek making him look at me. “It will be just you and I baby. Are you ready for that?”
I ask and Ryan nods so surely.
“You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll protect you.” He says making me let out a laugh.
“I’m sure you will.” I say as he grins. I kss his forehead before getting up. I walk to my room to make sure everything is settled.

“Wake up baby. We’ve arrived.” I shake Ryan and his eyes shoot wide open after my last sentence. He hasn’t heard the announcement saying where we are.
I gave him my headphones and put his favorite song at the start of the flight making him not listen to the announcement before leaving.
“Where are we?” He asks and I just smile. We walk outside and I turn to him.
“You remember that aquarium that you’ve always wanted to go to so badly? Here, I can take you there easily.”
I say and his eyes widen.
“Seattle?” He asks and I nod. He suddenly hugs me since I’m bent to his level. I return the hug until I hear him sniffing.
“Ryan?” He wipes his eyes so fast. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s just I’ve always been the kid without parents at school.
There’s this kid who even told me that my parents hate me that’s why they left. Do you hate me Jada?”
“Oh baby!” I hug him once again tears threatening to drop. “Why didn’t you ever say anything?”
“Because I’m not a crybaby and I’m strong. I messed up with their lunch. They didn’t come to school for two days.
Oh, and I sent their parents texts telling them how their children are mean and hurt people.”1
I look at Ryan dumbfounded. “Who are you again?”
“Ryan Mark Costa. Son to Jada Costa. I know you are a badass too mum.
I saw the knlves and gvns.” I laugh nervously getting up and realize we’re still in the middle of the airport.
“Where in Seattle Ryan. This means we’re starting afresh. We tell each other everything. Okay?” I ask and he shows me his pinky finger. I take out mine too.
“Pinky promise.”
“Pinky promise.”
With that, we walk to our luggage. We find our suitcases then find a cab that takes us to a hotel that we’ll be staying in for a few days as I finalize the house issues with the realtor.
“I love this room. Can we leave here?” Ryan asks jumping onto his bed making me laugh.
“We can’t leave in a hotel.
Are you tired?” I ask as he shakes his head no. “Then let’s go explore and find something to eat.” I say and he nods. “But first, I have to change.”
I take out a pair of leather pants and I look at them. Maybe its time to change my wardrobe too.
But I’m so used to leather pants that I wear them all the time. Damn, even I could confuse my pajamas with them.
I remember placing a pair of jeans somewhere. I start searching until I find it.
I take a black tank top with some underwear. I walk to the bathroom leaving Ryan watching some animation movie.

“Ryan? Ryan?” I call out when I notice he isn’t walking next to me.
I look around and when I see him running towards me I let out a breath.
“Where did you run off to without telling me?” I ask almost mad. He doesn’t answer.
“I’m talking to you young man. Why did you run off without telling me?”
I ask and he shows me a string. I look up to find a balloon attached to it. I hadn’t even noticed it. I pull it down and read it.
LOVE YOU
I let out an involuntary smile. “I saw them and I wanted to surprise you.
I thought it would take a minute or less but there were so many people so I had to struggle to the front. Looks like it took longer than I thought.” He says with a sad expression.
“Oh Ryan.” I say bring him in for a hug. “I’m supposed to be mad at you but now I’m not. I love you too.” I say and he nods still hugging me. “But no running off to places without telling me okay?”
This was the second time today. At first it was when we were getting out of my apartment in LA when the cab had arrived. I searched for him for five minutes and later he said that he’d gone to pee.
“Let’s go back to the hotel. Tomorrow we’ll meet the realtor.”
“Can we ask them to build a swimming pool before we move in?” He asks and I laugh.
“How about we ask them if we can go check the house first?” I ask and he looks deep in thoughts.
“Can my room have a computer and some gadgets.” He asks.
“We’ll see the gadgets that you’re talking about. No more hacking into people’s phones Ryan. Who taught you that in the first place?” I ask as we walk.
We’re a block away from the hotel.
“Cole. He said he’s your secret friend.” He says looking for any reaction but I don’t show anything.
“Then Cole is lucky to be far away right now.” I answer my grip on the shopping bags tightening.
Ryan doesn’t say anything and we walk the remaining distance quietly.
