CHAPTER THREE
ISLAND * NIGHT
Kristen walked behind Griffin as they both came down from the car. Her eyes moved to every thing in the island.
"Oh my!"she muffled as they finally got in. Everywhere is in colour white. Pure white. "He must like that colour a lot"she muffled.
"Sit here, I'll be back"he said and walked away, taking the stairs. Kristen sat comfortably on the couch. "Jesus, I don't wanna leave"she muffled with a close eyes.
"Pretty face"
Kristen eyes opened as she heard that.
"You're here to work so why rest!"Millie shouted.
"Hey, you're just five. How dare you speak to an elder like that?"Kristen asked with an annoyed face.
"Papa! She's bullying me!"Millie ran to Griffin and Kristen scoffed.
"I also have a papa, you can't run to yours cause he's here"Kristen stood up.
"Hi miss, you're pretty"Minnie who was beside her all along said and she smiled before squatting in front of her.
"You're just too cute"Kristen smiled.
"And you're pretty, can I call you pretty miss?"Minnie smiled, showing the space in front of her upper teeth which made her more cute.
"And I'll call you cutie"Kristen smiled.
"Minnie! You can't talk to her, I don't like her!"Millie held Minnie.
"Then she can just be my babysitter and you get yours"Minnie said.
"You're choosing her over me?"Millie asked.
"She's pretty which I want, she has long hair which you want too and I'm sure she's a great cook"Minnie said, trying to confuse Millie which worked a little.
"Let her cook and if I like it, she can be out Babysitter"Millie smiled but when she faced Kristen, she frowned and Kristen returned it, frowning.
"Now come sweeties!"Griffin said and they ran to him.
"Papa,I missed school today all cause of Minnie"Millie said as he carried them and began walking to the kitchen while Kristen followed.
"But you agreed on getting the Babysitter fired, it was a deal"Minnie said.
"I couldn't say no to you"Millie said.
"Papa, she's acting like the senior!"Minnie frowned.
"Which I am"Millie giggled.
"You both came at same time"Griffin said.
"Ah papa, you said you had something to do"Minnie said.
"Yeah, just seat here and wait till she's done with the cooking"he dropped them on the dinning table, pecking their forehead and with that, he walked away.
"Finally got time for me, what should I make?"Kristen smiled.
"Spaghetti and paste"Minnie said.
"You'll go with that?"she frowned at Millie.
"We're twin, whatever she does I do"Millie said, frowning too.
"I'm not sure you're five, maybe your dad forgot your age"Kristen muffled as she got into the kitchen.
She breath deeply, one of her favourite place is the kitchen. She loves the aroma it gives. She smiled widely as she began locating where the things she want are.
Close to an hour, their spaghetti and sauce was ready.
"It's time to check if I'm good"she smiled as she arranged the food while she carried them from the table to sit on the chair.
"Before you eat, any allergies?"she asked.
"I don't like garlic"Minnie said.
"Noted cutie"she smiled at her.
"I don't like garbages"Millie said with a frowny face.
"Noted frowny"Kristen said.
"I'll go first"Minnie said and picked her fork, twisting it as it packed some in it. Classically, she ate.
"How's it?"Kristen asked with blinking eyes.
"Tasty pretty miss"Minnie smiled.
Millie scoffed as she had a bite but her eyes widen. Even if she tries denying, she won't be able. Not saying a word, she had another and another.
"Do you like it Millie?"Minnie asked.
"Hate to admit but yes, it's more tasty than Uncle Vince cooking"Millie said and they bumped fist before continue eating.
"So.... am i hired?"Kristen asked and they both nodded.
"Yes!!!"she screamed in excitement. She immediately brought out her phone and dialed Liliana contact.
"Hey Riri!"Liliana said immediately she picked.
"I got the job!"
"Woah!!! Oh my!"Liliana screamed and she could bet she's jumping right now.
"You're coming tonight right?"Liliana asked and she checked the time. It's 9 on dot.
"Yeah"she said.
"This calls for celebration cause my bestie is working for the almighty Griffin in his Island! Praise God!"Liliana said and she laughed.
"I'm hanging up!"she said and disconnected the call.
Facing Minnie and Millie, they're already done eating.
"It's not even close to five minutes"she said with blinking eyes.
"Cause it's very tasty"Minnie said.
"Wanna shower and go to bed?"she asked and they nodded, getting down from the chair.
"So tell me your favourite snack?"she asked as she held their hands as they walked to their room.
"I love..."
**
Kristen came down after putting them to sleep. She smiled on remembering how they argued on who'd bath first, who she did comb hair first for, putting on their Pyjamas.
"You roll with them easily"Griffin said from the bar stand and she gasped.
"Not funny Mr"she scoffed, walking to him.
"I'm not a comedian"he said and she laughed sarcastically.
"As if. So how's my job gonna be here, it's obvious they like me"she said and he nodded, pouring her a drink.
"It's gonna be the last though"he said as he handed it to her and she chuckled before taking it.
"I'm not gonna be expecting it"she smirked and he dropped a paper in front of her.
"The rules and regulations, you agree then sign"he said and she picked it up, scanning through.
"I thought I would go home every weekend"she said.
"No, you can go home once they're in school and do other things too"he said.
"I'm gonna do anything they ask of me?"
"They're what makes me breathe, so you should accord the same respect that you have for me to them"he said.
"I don't even have respect for you Mr"she scoffed, picking the pen in which she signed.
"Work starts tomorrow then"he said.
"I have to go home today though, my stuff, I didn't bring them along"she said.
"They're gonna go for school tomorrow"he said.
"I'll be back in time"she smiled.
"If you say so"he said.
"See you tomorrow Mr"she bowed shortly and walked away.
