His Lost Love

Chapter 6: Like an angel

Emma's POV

As I walked home that night, I couldn't help but wonder if it was the right decision to accept Mrs. Elizabeth Walker's generous offer, she offered me double pay of what a nanny usually gets. She was even ready to pay me whatever amount I demanded, but not wanting to be too greedy I decided to settle for the double pay.

But yet there was this one big, fat, elephant like question that was bothering me, which was...why me? A girl who has never even held a baby in her arms, ever in her entire life. Why not choose a woman who has experience in handling kids? Instead of a girl like me who just has experience in taking orders and cleaning tables.

Why pay double to a girl like me? When she could have easily hired some experienced nanny on a much lesser pay scale.

I know being a nanny would be far much better than being a waitress and clearing off tables after people. Elizabeth has even offered me such generous salary that I know I could have never earned as a mere waitress.

I know I should be more than happy, I got employed again exactly on the same night when I got unemployed. But yet I cannot help but worry if I'm stepping into something wrong.

I sighed, turning and tossing on my uncomfortable bed. I stared at the ceiling.

I told my parents everything that happened today, as soon as I got home. Initially they were upset over the fact that I lost my job, but as they got to know that I bagged an even better job tonight, they were more than happy and encouraged me to go ahead with it.

Of course, who doesn't likes money? Everybody does right? Especially the people who really need it.

But yet another question is my head is, will I be able to do this? I mean handling a baby, as young as Noah, surely wouldn't be a peace of cake. Or rather should I say handling a baby regardless of their age is not an easy task, for that matter.

So the big question now is, will I be able to do it? Or will I get fired on the very first day as a nanny? I mean I cannot even be certain about this because as I said earlier I have never even held a baby in my arms before, let alone handle or take care of him or her.

I don't even know yet if I like babies or not, I mean yeah they are absolutely adorable but I don't know how I am around kids or rather should I say how kids are around me. I don't know yet if I have the motherly bone within me or not.

I wonder if Noah would like me? I wonder if he would be an easy kid with me? Or would he be a little devil? Who would have me running for the hills on the very first day of my job?

I chuckled at my own thoughts before deciding to get some sleep as I need to wake up early tomorrow morning and get to the address that Elizabeth gave me tonight.

Minutes later I slowly fell asleep while hoping that Noah would be a happy little baby and definitely not a fussy one.

As the next morning arrived, I found myself running around my place, obviously running late on the very first day of my new job.

An hour or so later, I stood absolutely stunned and in awe before the beautiful house of Mrs. Walker, I presume, or maybe it was her son's place, whatever I don't know, all I know is that it was an absolutely beautiful house, surrounded by greenery.

And while I was looking around at the beautiful property, I didn't even realize when Elizabeth walked out and stood before me.

"Oh. I'm so sorry...I was just..." I trailed off biting my lower lip, embarrassed that she caught me ogling at their house.

"You are just mesmerized, I know. I get it, sometimes I am too" She said sweetly.

"Um...how did you know that I was standing out here?" I asked.
