Babysitting The Billionaire’s Adult Son

“Hey,” Melanie laugh, “shall we head home already?” she yells out to Archie who wouldn’t stop riding on a rollercoaster.

Melanie has been hidden behind a pillar since they got to the amusement park. She didn’t know that she has become so popular already since she started modelling for the brand.

They met with people of different ages trying to take pictures with her, while some requested autographs. She has been doing that since they got there and she couldn’t go play with Archie.

“Hold on for a second!” Archie whines like an electric motor.

“Oh, Lord!” Melanie sighs, she loses the kerchief on her head and begins to use it to fan herself.

“It’s so hot here I need to take some fresh air.” she groans and stays still on the long bench.

“Hi.” comes a greeting from a teenage girl in a purple sports outfit.

Melanie move her gaze from Archie to the fragile voice beside her. “Hello, pretty girl.” she smiles at the girl that is sitting beside her on the bench.

“You’re the lady from the Star channel?! Oh my God! You look so adorable!” the girl smile brightly, as she flung her multicoloured hair in the air.

Melanie discreetly rolls her eyes at her, she doesn’t like dramatic people at all. “Thank you!” She force out a tired smile.

The girl shifts a bit closer to her on the bench. “What are you doing here? This park is made for kids around five to fifteen, so what are you doing here?” she bombed her with questions.

“Oh! That?!” Melanie laughs, she peels off her sunglasses letting the young lass have a proper look at her face.

“I’m not here alone, I came with a boy of your age.” she nod at her and the girl gasp loudly.

“Oh, my God! You’re so cute, you even made out time to bring someone to a playing ground despite having a tight schedule. Wow, he must be special to you.” she babbles loudly, demonstrating with her long fingers as she speaks.

Melanie bows her head ‘I never told her that I’m having a tight schedule’, she sighs as she groans inwardly.

“Yes, he is so special to me.” she smiles, dropping her stuff in her handbag. “I can cancel all of the day’s events because of him.” Melanie couldn’t help the smile that build up on her face as she speaks highly of the son of the man that she loves dearly.

“Mom, I’m done.” Archie leaps to their front, he hugs Melanie gently with his sweatshirt.

Melanie groans and pats his back lightly. “Yeah. I’m glad you are done, can you please release me already? I can’t breathe.” she faked a cough and Archie quickly let her go.

The girl beside Melanie has already made a video of them, she gasps in shock when Archie turns his face to her side and she has to pursue the video to have a second glance at him.

“Oh my gosh! Archie?!” she jumps to her feet and shyly sneaks her hand behind her back.

Archie arches his brows wondering where the girl knows him from. “Yes, that’s me. Do you know me?” He asks with a raise of his hand.

“Yes, my name is Olive and we are in the same class– certainly, I’m the girl whose seat is behind yours– but you wouldn’t know,” she mumbles under her breath but it is loud enough for them to hear.

“Oh,” Archie puffs out air. “Nice to meet you, Olive.” he smiles broadly.

Olive couldn’t hide her joy as she hastily resumes the recording, she video his smiles and call out his name so that her voice could be heard in the video.

“Good evening Aunty!” Olive greets Melanie with a slight bow, she tucks her multi-coloured hair behind her ear. Melanie smiles at her, and she stares at Archie, their eyes meet and Archie rapidly takes his gaze off her.

“You look so young and beautiful, no wonder Archie is this cute. I guess he takes after you.” Olive blurt out which grabs the attention of Archie, Melanie does as if she doesn’t notice his reddish cheeks.

“Thanks for the compliment. You see…” Melanie clears her throat. “My son here may look like me, but you see he portrays his father’s attitude so don’t mix it up.” She laughs and gives Archie a ‘Don’t you dare protest’ look.

“I think you are right, you are friendly but he is not.” Olive grins loudly, she unconsciously shifts her gaze to Archie and let out a gasp.

“Oh, my God! I’m not speaking ill of you it’s just that… you hardly speak in class and if you do, then it is when you want to answer questions during lectures. I’m sorry.” Olive apologises with the saddest look ever which makes Melanie wonder what is going on with her.

“You don’t have to apologise. You don’t have to worry, my son will be your friend if that’s what you want.” Melanie wink at Archie.

“Oh, my mine! Thank you very much, Auntie.” Olive gush widely.

“Mom!” Archie growls hearable. Melanie pull him to herself and pinch him lightly on his back.

“Be a good boy, she just wants to be your friend.” She mumble to him and Archie force out a fake smile to Olive who wouldn’t stop smiling at them.

“Okay, bye Archie; bye Aunty!” Olive sneers, she waves to them and jogs till she disappears out of sight.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Yeah. Be careful Ollie.” Melanie yells after her.

Archie watches her back until he is sure she has gone far and won’t be hearing him. “Such a lousy brat!” he scoffed in annoyance.

“Be careful Ollie!” Archie mimics Melanie’s voice dramatically and rolls his eyes after that.

“Hmm? Okay!” Melanie laugh shortly, she grab Archie’s hand in hers and take him out of the park.

“Hey, Aunty,” Archie says, tugging at Melanie’s hand as they get to her car. “I think you should wave to those people,” Archie whispers to her, pointing his index finger towards a group of girls on the other side.

Melanie moves her gaze towards their direction, she smiles and wags her hand to them. “Is that enough?” She bemoans, gazing at him through the corner of her eyes.

“That’s more than enough. Just open the car door, wave to them for the last time and get in before they get to us.” Archie instructs, Melanie to do as he says and he joins her after that.

Melanie heaves a sigh of relief, she steps on the break and drives out of the environment. Darkness has already covered the vault of heaven by the time they get home.

Archie is the first person to step down from the car, he opens the door to the back seat and fetches his bags.

“Auntie…”

“What happened to mom?” Melanie interrupt his speech.

He laugh softly, he flung his backpack on his shoulder and clutch tight at the lunch box. “Mom?! Nah, you’ll be my mom outside not when we are inside.” Archie makes bubbles with his mouth. He stops laughing when Melanie gives him a deadly stare.

“Ahh, why the long face?” He asks amidst his laughter. “We both know that you’re too young to be my mother.” He giggles and runs inside the house before Melanie could slap his annoying ass.

“Such a boy with attitude.” She rolls her eyes and walks inside the house.

Getting to the living room, Archie greets his father warmly and rushes up the stairs, he needs to get to his room as fast as possible so he could continue with his drawing.

“Hey, how long have you been waiting here for us?” Melanie asks, she walks over to where he’s seated on the Davenport. She takes her seat beside him and he adjusts the seat for her to sit suitably.

“About an hour now, why took you guys so long?” he groan and pull Melanie to his body. “I miss you.” He whines and Melanie chuckles in his chest.

“I’m sorry about that.” she apologized.

“Have you eaten?” she asks and he nods.

“I did that after waiting endlessly for you both.” he pouts and she pushes him slightly on his chest.

“You ate without us?! That’s bad.” she glares at him and he groans, feeling remorse.

“I thought you guys must have grabbed something on your way that’s why I ate without you two. I didn’t cook though, I ordered a box of pizza.” He says truthfully that Melanie doubts if he truly needs to apologise to her.

“It’s fine, we have had dinner too.” she smile and snuck back to his chest.

Mr Gordon chuckles, he moves his hand to her hair and strokes it gently. “How was work today?” he asks, hugging her tightly with his free arm.

“Fine,” she replies shortly then gasp after she suddenly remembers something very important that she needs to tell him. “Can you come outside with me? I need to show you something.” Melanie inquire, she release her hold on him and get up to her feet.

Mr Gordon wonders what she wants to tell him that they have to go outside. He seems a little bit tired from the day’s stress at the office but he needs to hear what she has to say. “Is it urgent?” he asks and she nods instantly.

“Okay,” he sighs and stands up to his feet. “Hope you are okay?” There is a worried frown plaster on his face.

“Yeah. I’m fine, stop worrying.” Melanie laugh shortly, she intertwined their hands and they walk out of the house.

Melanie leads him to the garage and he instantly notices a strange car in the garage. “Is that mine?” he asks, pointing at the green Lamborghini in the garage.

“Nope, that’s mine.” Melanie beam, shining her teeth as she points at the car with a smile on her face.

“Yours?” Mr Gordon asks, he moves closer to the car and his mind instantly drifts to his uncle. ‘I can fucking take care of my woman. What the hell is wrong with my uncle?’ he groans and he feels Melanie gently squeeze his palm.

“Did my uncle give you that?” he asks, resting his back on the new car. He make Melanie rest her back on his chest so he could wrap his arms around her chest.

“Yes. He gave the car key to me, congratulating me for getting millions of copies of the design fur sold in a day. I don’t know but he was so happy when he was saying it.” she reply innocently and he scoff behind her.

‘Your face might have made the sales be depleted but, he fucking gave you the car by personal involvement. He didn’t want you to lead the team of wealthy staff without having a car of your own.’ he sigh and bury his face in her hair.

“Are you okay?” Melanie asks when she didn’t hear anything from him. “You suddenly zoom out, are you cold?” she asks, she’s feeling worried about his health, forgetting the reason they were outside.

“I’m fine,” he chuckles, sniffing the scent of her hair. “Congratulation on getting a car of your own.” He smiles sadly and she senses the sadness in his tone.

“Thank you!” she says, rubbing his arm with her thumb.

“Can I make a request?” he asked with a serious tone. Melanie doesn’t need to see his face before she will know that he is darn serious and she needs to pay attention to his request.

“What is it?” she inquires, hoping he isn’t angry with her.

“Can you start asking me if you need anything?” he implores. He turns her face to him, she needs to see how dejected he looks. He is a man of his word, he is a man that loves to take care of his shit so he wouldn’t want his uncle to care for his woman out of pity.

“Why?” Melanie raises a question that doesn’t have to be asked. “Why should I ask you if I need anything? I work for you, you were kind enough to pay me an advance payment, you make me work in a company that I will be getting paid weekly yet you still want me to ask you for things that I need… Why?” She bombed him with the question that he is the only one that has the answer to her question.

“It’s because I like you a lot.” he squeals, peeping at her eyes hoping she would just see his love for her. “It’s because all of me wants all of you.” he recited.

Melanie stare at him in shock, she doesn’t know what to say or how to react to what he said.

“I want to care for you and provide for your needs,” he says, sneaking his palms to her cheeks.

“I want you to see me as someone you could rely on. I want to be your benefactor, your friend, your family and your…”

Melanie stands on her toe and plants a kiss on his lips, stopping him from completing his speech.

‘I want you to see me as your man’ he mumbled under his breath and let his hands slide down to her waist. He grabs her waist on both sides and pulls her tightly to himself.

‘I don’t want to have you as my friend, I want you as my lover’ Melanie mumbled to herself, she wraps her arm around his neck and deepens the kiss.
