What? This is too good to be true.
“The special seven? Like the actual…”
“Yes. They are all resting this morning because of the concert and private after party last night” he replied and continued walking.
“Oh my god, I am a huge fan and this right here is such a delight, I can’t believe I would be working directly with my faves” I said trailing after him.
“I hope your fantasizing will not prevent you from carrying out your duty diligently?” he asked.
“I’m very professional Hugo don’t worry about me” I didn’t bother looking at him or acting civil as I kept turning around in amazement.
“One more thing, they are not aware you are here to babysit them so it might come as a surprise to them, you may experience resistance from them at first but gradually they’d warm up to you” he said looking serious.
I looked up at him immediately. He chuckled before climbing the stairs.
This may be tougher than I thought.
we moved to what looked like an office, it had a large desk a chair behind and two chairs in front of it. I noticed the couch just by the window, it looked cozy yet professional. Hugo walked over to the sit behind the table and gestured for me to sit down.
I know you are a fan but for you to work with them you need to be more than just a fan. You have to understand them, their unique qualities, their similarities and differences, to be able to give them your best. I will tell you what I know about them but overtime you have to observe them on your own. I nodded before he continued.
“Let’s start from Thor; he was the first to join the band and the only one from the original line up. Personally I think he has come a long way. He’s the team lead and tend to possess a fatherly aura but don’t worry you’d get used to it.” He smiled and continued. “Noah is a very good cook, I for one thinks he cracks Dad jokes, he’s protective over the other team mates” I bet he was funnier than harry, Mathilda was the only one that found his jokes funny he continued drawing me out of my thoughts “Then Ethan, we call him the handy man, he’s always there to fix and repair, but uses sleep as a pass time, he loves basketball unlike Aiden who prefers tennis”
“That’s interesting, I never viewed the special seven as passionate over sports” I laughed.
“Not all of them though, Dylan views himself as the sexiest of the lot, he wouldn’t be bothered about the sweat sports gives he even make use of eyeliners while practicing the choreography, the only thing Dylan cares for aside the himself is his puppy, he fancies that animal a lot.”
“And Wyatt?” I asked.
“Wyatt loves photography, he’s a very shy person, always having trouble shopping because of the fans”
“Why are you smiling?” I couldn’t help but ask.
“Nothing serious, then finally Liam. he is the youngest member of the team, a very good dancer but he is also the messiest person in the house”
“wow, they are indeed unique, I really can’t wait to start working with them” I said excitedly.
“I know you are excited but remember, no dating and you must sign this non disclosure agreement, well this is just formalities to ensure you adhere to the rules and you do not disclose personal matters to the public, as you are a new member of the team” he handed me a piece of paper. What was it with this man and documents?
After going through the paper, I signed it and we exchanged handshakes.
“Let me take you to your room” he offered as he walked out of the office and I followed behind him.
“Like you know, this is a twelve-bedroom duplex, popularly known as ‘the base’ I do not live here but they’re are staffs that tend to the house which comprises of a cook, a butler, a driver and two cleaners then the gateman. They all live in the staff quarters at the back yard. But because you will be working closely with them, you will be staying in here.” He said opening a room.
I was smitten by the decoration in the room, it was a very large room, as big as my living room back in Jersey City. It had a lilac and white under tune. A larger bed laid at the center of the room looking so inviting. I thanked Hugo before exited the room. After locking the doors, I swirled around like a kid trying to catch snow in winter.
I felt her stomach rumble, I haven’t had breakfast nor lunch yet so I decided to go downstairs and grab lunch as it was already past noon, the house was still quiet, I guess they were still asleep, so I walked quietly to the kitchen but I wasn’t expecting to see a bare chested Dylan, the shock made me scream causing him to spill water on his body, He looked at her in shock.
“Who the hell are you? He asked
“I’m… my name is…. Urgh..” I stammered getting uncomfortable because of his lack of clothes.
“she’s the new baby sitter, well I employed her today, she will be a personal assistant to you all” Hugo came into the kitchen.
“A what? Baby sitter? Are we babies? You didn’t discuss this with any of us.” Dylan went from surprise to shock to anger back to surprise in seconds
“Well, you do actually behave like a baby so, you shouldn’t complain at all” Hugo said scratching the back of his head
“I don’t.” Dylan rolled his eyes.
“You certainly do, listen you will need the help so stop grumbling” Hugo grabbed an apple and left the kitchen.
Dylan stomped his foot and left the kitchen.
I watched quietly in amusement. Within a few minutes, the living room was filled with all the members of the special seven, despite their state of confusion and anger, I was excited to be in their midst.
Wyatt was the first to speak “Hugo. What is the meaning of this? You can’t possibly be serious” his blonde hair was shiny up close but it looked ruffled.
Hugo sat calmly despite the volcanic eruption around him. “Calm down guys, she’s just here to help.”
Ethan stood up abruptly “That’s not even an option, listen Hugo, I don’t know what you have planned but this” he said pointing back and forth between I and Hugo “This is some high class BS.”
Every other person had something to say except Aiden, he sat on the couch looking bored, he seems to have had enough because he stood up and left.
“Listen up every one, I know this is not a usual arrangement but Olivia’s services are highly needed, let’s not make a fuss about it, I will let you rest today. Remember you have media rounds with the fantastic four from tomorrow.” Hugo said and left.
Everyone else left the living room after giving me their best angry look, they made sure I knew I wasn’t welcomed here, at least by them. I decided to let them all have a head start on the staircase.
Just as I stood up to leave, I heard someone ask “What is your name” making me jump in fright. I turned to see the owner of the voice.
“Aiden!!!!”
