The alarm clock vibrated loudly on a brown table,a feminine hand stretched to turn it off,a young lady slowly opened her eyes, with the early morning sun peering through her face,she got up and yawned,then walked into the bathroom.
Meet Alexa Hughes,a 19-year-old lady,with a stunning physical appearance, blonde haired,blue emerald eyes,pink heart shaped lips,and long thick lashes,she could be put up for sale at an auction,(if humans were being sold out)an epitome of perfection.
Alexa lived with her mom alone,in the streets of Vancouver city,her dad passed away years ago, living just her and her mom,Alexa was a feisty young teenage girl,who got expelled from her old school lately,and has been home since then,the main reason was because she fought at school,with the principal's proud daughter,who tried to Bully her because of her beauty and body type.
Alexa being a not-so-cool lady ,had fought back,then got expelled, because fighting was prohibited at Dominic high school.
Alexa walked out of the bathroom,after freshening,then walked downstairs to have breakfast with her mom.

"Ryan why are you so hot- headed?why can't you stop fighting every single time? you punched a kid till he bled, that's not funny young man"Elizabeth Ardientee scolded her son.
Ryan dropped his cutleries,"mom why can't I have some personal space,you always complain over every single thing,besides,I punched Paul because he was being an assh*le,he started it first,he hit me in the face first,I couldn't just let it slide"Ryan defended.
"Come to think of it son,what if your dad hears this?he will be mad at you, he'll ground you,and they'll be no outings and partying with friends, I'm sure you don't want that"his mom queried.
"Mom I told you Paul started it, besides dad won't hear of it,you won't sell your baby boy out to dad would you?"he poured, trying to gain her favour,he knew he had to.

"Good morning mum"Alexa gave greetings to her mother,the moment she got downstairs.
"Good morning my baby"her mom(Mrs Rose Hudgens) replied, fixing breakfast.
"What's for breakfast?" Alexa questioned.
"Coffee and toast"was her mom's reply. Alexa nodded and sat down on one of the chairs at the dinning room.
"Need a hand?"Alexa asked, trying to get her mom's attention. her mother walked out of the kitchen wiping her hands with a napkin.
"Of course not,you can only help by going upstairs and getting ready for school"her mother replied, staring at her intensely.
Alexa sighed "mom I got expelled two days ago, remember?"
"I don't forget things easily Lexa"her mom said, tossing the wet napkin away,"maybe if I didn't have a Tigres as a daughter, then my child will still be schooling!"her mom fired at her.
"Mom Please,stop behaving like I got banned from ever going to school,i can still attend another school, Dominic high is not the only school in Vancouver "Alexa defended.
Her mother stood, watching her, confused on what to do or say next,then she finally said"that's extra money Alexa,you know how cost it is to begin a new school, and besides,what of the days you skipped school,how do you make up for that?"
"We'll talk about that later mom, let's have breakfast first "Alexa told her mom,then they both sat down to eat.

Ryan knew he had to persuade her,he had to get her on his side.
"Honey I'm just worried about you Xavi"Elizabeth said to her son, worriedly
"Mom I'll be fine, I've gat this"Ryan assured her.she nodded and said."okay if you say so"
Ryan got up then pecked his mom's cheeks "I'll be heading to school now okay?"
She nodded "okay take care "

Ryan walked over to his car, got in then turned on the engine and drove off.
Meet Ryan Xavier Ardientee, a 21-year-old with a stunning physical appearance-green sapphire eyes, black raven hair, long pointed nose, pink lips, and square chinned.
He has it all,the body, physical appearance,and money (being the only heir of the Ardientee family) that's the reason why girls cling to him like a magnet.
Ryan's parents were the wealthiest in Toronto city,that was what powered his bloated ego,and his mother was the mastermind of everything, spoil him to the extreme,not minding if he became arrogant or not.
Ryan got to school, alighted then walked into the school building, Vanessa (who was considered the queen of the school)ran to him and tugged his arm.
"Hey babe"she flirted, rolling her hair with her fingers. Vanessa considered herself his girlfriend, Ryan hardly spoke to a girl,except he wanted her in his bed, Vanessa was not an exception,to him,she was his f*ck toy,to her,she was his girlfriend.
"What do you want Nessa?"
"Just came to say hi, I'll escort you to class"she replied with a smile,she had been waiting for him at the school's gate since her dad dropped her off, cos she wanted to walk with him to class, but she didn't say it,she didn't want to sound clingy, though Ryan knew she was.
He made no comment, but reluctantly followed her.

"Lexa, can I come in?" Rose inquired, standing at her daughter's door step.
Alexa rolled her eyes,then sighed "come in mom"
Her mother sat next to her on the bed, Alexa was engrossed with her phone, paying little attention to her mother.
"Lexa I wanna talk to you"
Alexa dropped her phone on her brown table, wondering what her mom had to say to her.

Alexa stared at her mother anxiously, awaiting what she had to say.
"Mom, I'm listening"
Her mother sighed and said "Lexa,do you remember Mrs Elizabeth, from Toronto city?"
Alexa stared at her surprised,of course,she knew Mrs Elizabeth Ardientee,the wife of Toronto richest man,her mother once told her they went to school together.
"Um yeah, that high school friend of yours who lives in Toronto,you once told me about her"Alexa replied.
"Oh yes, she's the same person"
"So...?"
"Lexa she told me she needs a babysitter for her son" her mom announced.
Alexa stared at her anxiously,"so? Should i help you find one or..."
"No Alexa"her mother told her,then held her hands tenderly,"Lexa I told her I found someone already"
Alexa became confused"whoa,so who did you find? Mrs Kelly?her daughter?who?"
Her mother sighed"Lexa I told her about you,she wants you to take the job"
Alexa stared at her mother in disbelief."what? why?I don't want to be a babysitter sitter,I don't need a job mom,I can't watch annoying kids, change diapers, and all that,I..."
"Baby come on,you need this job,she agreed on a suitable amount,and you'll be schooling there too,she gonna take care of all that, don't you see?"her mom persuaded, interrupting her.
"Mom I can't,and besides, you never told me Mrs Elizabeth had a child" Alexa said.
"Even I wasn't aware, she just told me,darling look,I don't wanna rush you into things okay, I'll give you time to think about it" Rose assured her daughter.
"Mom I don't wanna go,I can't leave you here alone,I..."
"Don't worry my darling, I've got Mrs Kelly and her daughter,I won't be alone, just think about it first okay "Rose said,patting her daughter's hair.
Alexa sighed"okay I'll think about it"
Rose nodded and smiled, I'll leave you to rest ok"

Ryan stood in front of his mirror, holding a hair drier on his right hand,he had just showered,and was drying his hair, when his mom walked in.
"Xavi?are you there?" His mother called out,of course,his mother named him Xavier,and that was what she'd always called him.
He sighed "come in mom"
Elizabeth walked in, Ryan dropped his hair dryer then sat down on his bed.
"Dearie,can I talk to you for a sec?"his mom questioned.
He nodded"sure"
She sat next to him and said"Xavi, I've decided to employ a babysitter for you"
Ryan laughed"seriously mother, I'm not a four-year-old you know,stop kidding please"
"Xavi I'm serious, I've endured all your mischief and troubles, what am I gonna tell your dad if he finds out? Xavi I need someone to watch you from time to time,so you would take your studies serious and stop causing troubles"his mom told him.
Ryan looked at her in disbelief"so I need a babysitter cos I'm now a kid huh?so what's she gonna be doing? wiping my nose and butt or what?"
"Xavi I'm not joking"
"Neither am I mom, don't you find it inappropriate?employing a babysitter for your 21-year-old son?mom come on" Ryan grumbled.
"Xavi you need one "
"I don't "
"You do"
"I said I don't!!" Ryan half-yelled"mom it's not fair"
Elizabeth held her son's hands assuring him."Xavi there's no harm in trying,if you don't like her,you can always request for another person okay?"
Ryan said nothing,he didn't like the idea,he didn't want to be watched over like a kid,he just had to assure his mom, else she'll keep persuading him.
He nodded, but made no comment, she smiled,then patted his hair"just have a rethink okay? I'll leave you for some time now,come downstairs for dinner after drying your hair" Elizabeth told her son then exited his room.

"Alexa the driver is waiting" Alexa heard her mom announce.
"I'll be down in a sec mom!"she replied, trying to fix her luggage zipper, she was getting ready for her journey to Toronto city,she had finally agreed on working there,cos her mom kept pestering her.
"Damn this stupid zipper!!"she groaned in frustration, shortly, the driver walked into her room.
"Can i help you with something miss?"
"Yeah sure,the zipper wouldn't just.... arrgghh!!"she complained again.
The driver chucked,then assisted her,before lifting the luggage, taking it into the car.
Alexa walked downstairs,behind the driver,to meet her mom who was waiting in Front of the car.
"What took you so long?" Her mom inquired.
"My luggage zipper just wouldn't zip up, but....it's done now,see?"she told her mom,pointing to the driver who was lifting the luggage into the car.
Her mom sighed,"Okay "
Alexa noticed how gloomy her mother seemed,she smiled and lifted her chin.
"Mom come on,I haven't left and you've started missing me huh? don't worry, I'll call you from time to time,ill be fine Okay?"Alexa assured her mother.
"I know you will, don't bother about me okay,ill be fine too it's just... don't worry my dear"her mom replied,faking a smile.
Alexa smiled,then kissed her cheeks,"ill call you when i get there okay?"
"Sure,bye my darling"

"Xavi, your babysitter will be here soon"rose said
Ryan glanced at her,then groaned"mom please stop saying the word babysitter, I'm not a baby,and besides you already told me last night, that's why i skipped school today "ryan told her.
"okay,what ever you say, come downstairs okay?"

# Ardientee mansion #
Ryan walked into his bathroom, preparing to see meet his new 'babysitter' he undressed and showered.
*******
Alexa was lost in thoughts, staring at the highway, watching people and cars go by,she kept on pondering on how things would turn out for her in Toronto city, would Elizabeth like her?will the kid be mean to her or nice?what if she doesn't get the job? so many negative thoughts were running through her mind.
"Miss we're here" the driver announced, pulling het out of her thoughts.
She sighed and opened the car door, before stepping out.
Her mouth dropped in amusement,the house..no mansion in front of jer qas magnificent. It was literally screaming money.
The driver stared at her in amusement,"miss, let's go in" the driver said.
She nodded then faked a smile "sure"
At first Alexa had thought the outside view of the house was beautiful,but damn,the inside was exquisite,she stood still admiring the place until the driver tapped her shoulders
"Miss?"
She was a little bit startled,she nodded in approval then walked into the living room.
The driver dropped het luggage,then left, Alexa stood there, confused,not knowing what to do next, until a lady walked up to her.
"Um...are you miss Alexa?"
"Sure"she replied.
"Mrs Ardientee will be here soon just...take a seat" the lady told her politely.
"Sure, thanks"Alexa murmured then sat down on a sofa,next to her.
She was getting bored after a gew minutes of waiting,until a blonde haired woman in her early fourties,(she guessed) walked up to her.
Alexa stood still, confused,she could tell the woman was wealthy,with the way her blonde hair shone,and her exquisite dress was decorated,she guessed her to be the 'mrs Ardientee '
Alexa became nervous,her heart beating wildly in her chest.

# Ardientee mansion #
Alexa stood quietly,watching as the woman walked up to her.
"Good morning ma'am"Alexa gave greetings to the lady,the woman the moment she got to where she was standing.
The woman stared at her for a few seconds before flashing her a smile"oh,you must be Alexa, Rose's daughter right?"
Alexa nodded without saying a word "i was right then, you really took after your mom, you're like the younger version of her"the woman told her smiling.
"Don't be nervous okay, anyway I'm Elizabeth Ardientee,and I'm the one you'll be working for"Elizabeth said to Alexa.
Alexa smiled,she guessed she wasn't wrong at all"nice to meet you ma'am"
"Oh don't be so dramatic,you can call me aunt okay, your mom and I were very close in high school, anyways come with me,I'll show you to my son "Elizabeth said to Alexa.
Alexa nodded slightly,then followed her into the elevator.
Sooner,they were in front of a room witb a black door, to Alexa,this mansion was really made of technology,cos Elizabeth didn't even have to twist the door knob, she only pushed a button, then they walked inside.
"Xavi where are you?" Elizabeth called out childishly,they could both hear the sound of running water from the bathroom.
"I guess he's bathing, just a sec okay,he'll be out" Elizabeth told her.
Alexa nodded,but made no comment,she was as nervous as hell "who's bathing him anyways"she thought to herself,maybe he had a person doing that for him, personally.
Elizabeth was about to leave with Alexa,when the bathroom door Fung open.
Alexa turned back nervously,then her jaw dropped.

# Ardientee mansion #
The moment Ryan walked into his room, with only a towel, Alexa jaw dropped.
He wasn't a kid,he was an adult,'or maybe that isn't him' she thought.'it can't be him'
He was fully grown,an adult, maybe older than her she guessed,his muscular arms,his board chest with dawning tattoos,his waist line,his..... 'Alexa control yourself' Alexa scolded herself mentally,she dared not to look below his waist,she couldn't...she just couldn't.
Ryan stared at his mother,then the lady beside her 'who is this anyways' he thought,but said nothing to his mom,then walked into his dressing room, shutting the door closely
Alexa stared at Mrs Elizabeth in disbelief, this couldn't be 'the baby' she thought.
Elizabeth sighed,then sat down on the sofa "you're confused aren't you? Well he's my son,my only son,and he'll be the one you'll be taking care off" she told Alexa.
"What!!" Alexa exclaimed,this can't be true,he looks older than her.
"Look Lexa I know it sounds stupid,I mean who would get a 21-year-old a babysitter?but you don't understand,he needs it,I mean...., you don't know my son, he's mischievous, he always has something bad up his sleeves,so that's why I need you "Elizabeth told her, staring deeply into her eyes.
'So he's older huh?' Alexa thought
"But ma...aunt,if you need someone to do that for you, you can employ anyone, i mean...."
"Lexa you don't understand, his dad is out of town,he'll be mad when he hears this, you're the only person I can't trust for now, don't you understand?" Elizabeth said, trying to persuade her.
"You can still go for someone older , like...."
"An older person can't follow him to school right?" Alexa heard her say.
Wait, does Elizabeth mean.....no it can't be...
(Toronto city Canada)
# Ardientee mansion #
Alexa couldn't believe her ears, could it be what she...no, it couldn't.
"Huh?" She asked confused.
Elizabeth held her hands"Lexa we both know an older person can't follow him to school right?"Elizabeth said softly.
"Does this mean....."
"Yes it means you'll be accompanying Ryan to school, you don't have to worry about the bills, I'll take care of that,I told your mom before okay?" Elizabeth told her, cutting her speech short.
Of course Alexa knew she would school here, but not with him, to make matters worse,he wasn't even a baby!!!
"Um... I wasn't expecting this,I knew I would school here but not with...um..."
"Ryan"Elizabeth corrected,"his name is Ryan,but he's also Xavier, only I call him that,so don't, you should also call him Ryan like everyone else does " Elizabeth told her.
Whoa, Alexa wasn't expecting that, just a few hours here and she'd already been given a rule!
She nodded slowly, not sure of what to say, she faked a smile then nodded again.
Elizabeth also smiled then said "so you'll be schooling with him, and I want every detail of what he does, and also, never address him too formally, he's older and Ardientee family's heir" Elizabeth said, smiling proudly,of course,she needed to tell Alexa,she wouldn't tolerate her crossing her boundaries.
Alexa nodded again,a part of her wanted to call her mom and leave, Mrs Elizabeth didn't seem so-nice,she couldn't risk getting on her bad book.
The other part of her wanted to endure, her mom wants a fresh start for her,she couldn't let her mom down, she had to accept the conditions,she really needed to...
"Good,so I'll give you some other rules, just so you know what to do, okay?"
