The Spider and the Babysitter
Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2022 12:46 pm
The first part of a story I'm working on, more to come.
I hadn’t wanted to take the job, after all, I was a 21-year-old University graduate with a first in Photography. Now I was unemployed and living at home. My mum was sick and hadn’t worked in months so I needed work, any work. The unemployment agency in town had nothing locally but the woman I spoke to slipped me a number of a lady, who was looking for someone to look after her children for an evening, two 13-year-old girls and a boy of 11. I took it off her anyway. Outside I rang the number and arranged to come over. The property was impressive, a 6 bedroom house with its own driveway and a large garden and swimming pool, greenhouse, and stable complete with a field for riding. This was all situated on 4 acres of land surrounded by an 8ft fence all the way around the perimeter. I noticed the security cameras on my way in. These people clearly were not short of money.
A stern older woman met me at the door, she introduced herself as Lucia, the cook in broken pigeon English, and called the children down to meet me. I met Rory first, he looked like a sweet boy, and asked me a ton of questions, all at a hundred miles an hour before rushing off, the two girls had to be called repeatedly, on the third time they finally came out of their room looking annoyed at the disturbance. Both were dressed in onesies with the hoods up, leaning on the rails at the top of some long winding stairs. Both were pleasant enough but clearly didn’t want to be introduced to me, we exchanged pleasantries before Lucia let them go. I had hoped to meet Mrs. Parkinson, but Lucia had curtly told me she was “very busy”.
And that was it, I agreed to arrive Saturday night at 7 pm no later. I showered and picked out some clothes, just a simple bra, and underwear, followed by a white t-shirt and my favourite jeans. They were loose now but I adored the way they hung on me, accentuating the flatness of my stomach and you could see just how low those jeans sat. I still wore baggy clothes hiding my new figure. My girlfriends, they’d tease me about it. Nothing mean at all just the banter of close friends. They only wanted the best for me. I thought that losing weight would cure my shyness, but I was still that chubby little shy girl inside.
I pulled up to the house around 18:45, I decided against a coat and opted to take a hoodie I was fond of and left it in my car. I knocked at the big white door, I had butterflies in my stomach, I was nervous. It was just babysitting a few kids for an evening, I could handle that. But these weren’t ordinary kids, they were rich kids, the money ran in the family and I wanted to make a good impression, if they liked me maybe if this could become a regular thing. And lord knows I need that money.
The door swung open and Mrs. Parkinson smiled “Ah Alison, darling”, it was the sort of greeting you see actors and Europeans do, two kisses on either side
“Hello, Mrs. Parkin….” She cut me off before I could finish my greeting
“Call me Ellen please” I was struck at how beautiful she looked, I wanted to pull out my camera and shoot her, she was late 30s, I guessed maybe a mixed Arabic heritage and she looked after herself, every detail carefully maintained,
“You look gorgeous! Where is that dress from, it's stunning?” The dress was silver and had a strap that tied around the neck at the back, plunging dangerously low at the back and clung to her figure. I was sure I could never wear such a beautiful thing.
“Actually it's one of my own, from my new line” A designer I thought, maybe she’d need a photographer, I mused, “I’ve just never had the opportunity to wear it till now”
“You’ll have to let me shoot you some time!” I was being genuine but a little flattery didn’t hurt, right? You can’t hide a real smile, there’s no faking it. Ellen clearly loved being told how beautiful she was.
“Well maybe I’ll take you up on that sometime, but for now I must dash I’ve clients to wine and dine!” She turned and shouted up the stairs, “LUCY! BELLA your guardian is here!”
I squirmed at the word GUARDIAN it felt patronising and the girls clearly felt that way,
“Mum we don’t need a GUARDIAN" sarcasm! Wonderful “We’re nearly 14 Mum, we can look after ourselves” I watched the back and forth between parent and daughters, was I that bad at that age? I said goodbye to Ellen and turned to the two girls who were glaring at me, daggers out.
The girls caught me off guard, I’d barely seen their faces, but they were clearly Ellen's daughters. They were almost my height except they hadn’t filled out. Younger versions of her.
“Hi, I’m Alison” I came off a little too eager and friendly and I caught the smirk as Bella looked me up and down, judging my appearance,
“You're so pretty! Lucy come look, Isn’t she pretty” At school, I was bullied so I quickly recognised the insincerity and mocking in her voice, I quickly copied her tone
“Oh my god you're so like your mother” her smile faded, nothing like slapping a spoilt brat with that one, mummy issues. Lucy pulled me over to the sofa.
For thirty minutes they grilled me, they sat opposite me, it felt like an interview. I shared my love of photography, and I shared a few tricks I knew about how to get better pictures from your phone camera. I was happy I’d won them round and they wanted to take pictures,
“Oh, you should let us take your pictures!” Bella shoved a phone at me and I posed, click, click click I attempted a few meek poses, but I preferred to be behind the camera not in front of it, so I looked awkward
“We should do a fashion shoot,” said Lucy eagerly but I was in no mood to play dress-up with them,
“Maybe later, where’s Rory, I’d like to see him” I hoped he might join us down here
“He’s in his room”
“I think I’ll just pop and see him, okay?” I smiled and made my way to the stairs looking back at both girls and saw them whispering and looking at me, I knew that look, I’d seen it at school countless times. And brushed it off. I should have known better.
I knocked at Rory’s door, “Who’s there?”
“It's me Alison, I just wanted to say hi and ask if you wanted to come downstairs, and watch a film or play a game?” the door opened a crack and Rory peaked out, smiled at me, and said,
“I’m hungry” and shut the door, it wasn’t rude or anything just matter of fact. I walked down to the kitchen and saw Lucia cleaning up
“Hi, Lucia?”
“Si Lucia!”
“Rory says he’s hungry, I was going to make him a sandwich”
“Io lo faro” and gave me a look that said, this is my job, and pointed to a seat, “He like father, always forget, eat, eat I say, but always work” in no time she’d made a snack for him, cleaned up and put her coat on,
“Are you finished for the day?
“Si, I go, come back Monday” we passed into the living room, and on seeing the twins she patted me on the arm and said “attento che sono diavoli” in hushed tones. I didn’t understand. Rory opened the door and bade me follow him. I put the food down on a table, on the bed next to him was a large sketch pad,
“May I look?” at first I thought he would snatch it away and say no, but he pushed it towards me and looked at me keenly, thumbing through it I saw trees, cars, scenes of nature, animals and people, he was extraordinarily talented for a boy of 11 “Rory! These are amazing, how are you so good?”
“Don’t know?” he shrugged
“You must be some kind of child genius!” I teased, he smiled “Amazing detail”
“I have a photographic memory, I see it and remember,” said with the nonchalance of youth
“Wow!” I was in awe
“Would you let me draw you?” he inquired softly
“Me? Why?”
“I like your face” I was a little taken aback, it's not that I was starved for compliments but it had been a while since I felt something so genuine
“I’ll make you deal, you eat your food and I’ll let you draw me? Okay?
“Okay, do you need me to sit for you?” he tapped his head and smiled
“Nope”
After that I went to the girls hoping to repeat my success with Rory, they were sitting looking at their phones “Hey, Alison we should show you around” they infused, jumping up, and they pulled me with them
“Okay, okay” laughed. I was pleased with the progress I was making.
“This is the pool, we should swim!” said Bella
“OMG yes” Lucy beamed
“I don’t have a costume with me,” I said apologetically,
“You could swim in your underwear!” was Bella’s idea, and she gave me a long stare
“No. no I couldn’t, they’re white they’d go see-through!” I blushed
“Oh you might as well go naked then!” laughed Lucy, I reddened, I was lost deep in the fantasy my head had now conjured and didn’t see the glance Lucy gave Bella as they led me off. The tour lasted about 30 minutes, mostly at the stables as they showed me their horses.
“What do you girls want to do then?”
“TRAMPOLINE!!” their excited reply. Rory had now joined me as I watched the girls bounce up and down, with the occasional flip “Come on Alison, jump with us! Please!” they begged I kicked off my trainers and reluctantly I climbed up “careful of the springs, they’re a bit sharp in places” we bounced up and down the three of us, the girls showing me tricks they could do, “Can you do a flip” Lucy asked me,
“I bet she can’t, she’s too old!” Bella challenged, I began bouncing higher and higher, and just as I was about to flip I felt the twin's hands on the bottom of my jeans too late to react and watched in horror as they effortlessly slid down my thighs showing my white panties. I jumped right out of them and landed on my bottom, embarrassed I covered myself, unsure as to why I suddenly was sitting in my knickers,
“OMG she jumped right out of them, that's so funny!”
“And right in front of my brother too!” I felt his amused gaze and watched as he stood up to get a better look,
“Give me my jeans please!” I stretched out my hand hoping they’d toss them back, Bella looked at Lucy and stooping to pick up my footwear they tore off down the garden, waving them like a victory flag. I shuffled over to the edge of the trampoline, and looked down, it was higher than I remembered and I carefully lowered my legs over the side, I was afraid of landing badly as I’d not long recovered from a twisted ankle. I let go expecting to drop down but watched as my t-shirt rode up my body and bunched up under my bra, leaving me hung there, my toes could just about reach the floor. I tried to wriggle free but the back had caught on a spring. I had no way of reaching behind to unhook it either.
I flushed red as I saw Rory's wide-eyed look, his eyes locked on my exposed tight white panties.
“RORY!! TURN AROUND, STOP LOOKING!” I shouted, pink-cheeked he gulped and slowly turned around. The girls had noticed and were laughing hysterically, I saw Lucy point her phone at me “Stop, don’t take my picture!” I pleaded, the chubby kid that used to be me rearing her head. I tugged a few times but saw just how far the girls had gotten away, I was afraid and not thinking clearly, so I slipped out of my t-shirt and took off after them “COME BACK”.
The twins were quick, and on a path that led off south, I could catch them, if I cut across the lawn. It was risky but I judged it worth it. My white ankle socks were soaked after a few strides and I instantly realised my error as I struggled for balance. The lawn had just been watered, it was too late to turn back, I saw I’d gained on them, that’s when I lost my balance and hit the wet grass, and slid what felt like miles. I looked down at myself as I awkwardly got to my feet defeated. My body was wet and covered in grass, my panties were now a thong and the front pulled down so far that my trim pubic hair was visible. Looking around I saw the girls were gone along with my jeans. I quickly adjusted myself. I wanted to kick myself, stupid girl. I wondered if the girls had pictures of this as well.
Aware I was nearly naked I limped over to the trampoline to get my t-shirt back, at least I still had that. Rory was gone and so was my T-shirt!! This was fast becoming a nightmare. Red-faced and angry I wanted to confront the girls and get back the clothes they had stolen. But the grounds and house were so big, I didn’t know where to look. I walked the grounds shouting after them, “THIS ISN’T FUNNY GIRLS!” but nothing, I looked at my watch. It was 8:45 pm. I was dirty and muddy and annoyed.
I headed inside still covering my body, hoping they weren’t waiting for me somewhere, as I was in a pretty vulnerable stay glad in my bra and panties, they could easily just jump out and strip me naked. It made me feel funny and I wanted to shake that weirdness out of my head. I found a bathroom and went inside. I needed to shower to wash the dirt off me. Literally and mentally. I slide my panties and flicked off my bra, to inspect the damage I suspected. The bra was fine just wet and dirty, the panties though, they, were really dirty, a small hole visible in the rear, I saw the blood specks on them, I don’t do blood, it makes me pass out, my legs gave way and I blacked out.
I hadn’t wanted to take the job, after all, I was a 21-year-old University graduate with a first in Photography. Now I was unemployed and living at home. My mum was sick and hadn’t worked in months so I needed work, any work.
