Babysitting The Billionaire’s Adult Son

The bell chimes for the end of classes. Archie is the first to always get out of class since he has no friends he would be waiting for.

Don’t get it wrong, Archie is the elite of his class and everyone would obliterate to be his friend but he chooses not to mingle with any of his classmates.

Archie shove his books inside the backpack and flung them over his shoulders.

Archie stands up from his seat, grabs his ball pen and shoves it into his pant pocket. He checks his locker to see if he forget anything. After he is sure that he has packed everything, he nods and strides towards the exit.

“Hey, can you wait up? Let’s heed out together.” Travis, his seatmate, tries calling out to him but Archie is far from listening to his words. He strides out of the class and heeds to the hallway that leads outside.

He halts walking and slips out his phone from the backpack. He resumes walking and operating his phone with his face glued to the phone.

Not operating the phone in the hallway, he is well aware of the rule but he needs to contact his cab driver. He hate standing outside, waiting for the aged man outside the compound while his mate would be entering into their parent’s car.

He searches for the driver’s contact and is about to put the call across to him when he bumps into someone. His phone falls to the tiles floor with a loud thud.

“Shit,” he curses under his breath and bends over to pick up the phone.

Luckily, the phone didn’t have any cracks anywhere. He rubs his thumb on the flat screen of his Samsung phone.

“Need someone to inform you that you bump into me and that you need to apologise?” An angry voice of a boy from the next-door class yells in anger.

Archie pocket his phone, forgetting about the driver he originally wanted to call. “Also need someone to inform you that I wasn’t looking when we bump into each other?” Archie scoffs, he raises his head to have a good look at the dumbhead that he is exchanging words with.

“We bumped into each other?” The boy asks, he gazes at his two friends and they make bubbles with their large mouths.

“Did you not know?” Archie arches his brows. He scoffs when he remembers where he had met the boy before. The boy had come to him before at the cafeteria, he proposed to Archie to be his friend but he deferentially rejects his proposal.

‘This fucking sucker!’ Archie groans inwardly.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“How can you say ‘we bumped into each other’ when it clearly shows that you are the one that’s not looking where you are going?” One of the boy’s friends growled through his gritted teeth.

“Oh, it’s time for the defence dog to speak. That makes sense.” He claps, smirking devilishly at the boy that stands disgruntled at the back.

“You dare not insult my friend!” Another yell, pointing his index finger at Archie’s face.

Archie smirks. “Your stupid brain should have been the judge. How can you claim that I bumped into you when I wasn’t looking?” Archie says, tapping the head of the boy he wouldn’t even care to remember his name.

“If you were aware of my presence and know that I wasn’t looking, you should have called out to me or better yet, shift from my way.” Archie deride. He glance at the infuriate boy and he couldn’t help but wonder what he has said to make him angry.

“Hey, you better watch your tongue. You shameless boy with no mother.” The boy that claims that Archie bumped into him says, flinging his fingers in the air as he speaks.

Quoting him as a child with no mother is what trigger the evil in him. Archie moves closer to him, grabs the collar of the boy’s shirt and pushes him to the wall. He raises his fist in the air, he is close to punching him in the mouth when there comes a murmur from the scholar.

“Oh, my God! Is that not the supermodel?” came a girlish voice from the next class.

“The face of Star Channel?” Another voice asks which results in loud gasps from the whole class.

“Christ Jesus! The ascending model is here in our school?!” A doubtful voice yells out to others.

“She fucking model the coat I’m wearing!” comes an arrogant voice amidst the scholar.

“I know right? I just ordered mine!” Another bash at her.

“Look how stunning she is!” A female teacher whispers to a male instructor.

Archie smiles cheekily when he sees Melanie waving at the students that rush to take a video of her. He releases his grip on the boy and slightly pushes him.

Melanie catwalks to where he stands with the other boys, she peels off her thick-lensed glasses and moves a strand of hair behind her ear. “Hey,” she smiles brightly at Archie, stretching out her arms widely for him to get in.

“Mom!” Archie laugh wildly. “Why are you here?” He runs into her arms and she wraps her arms around him. Sniffing his hair with a beautiful smile plaster on her face.

“What happened to you? Why are you fighting your fellow student?” Melanie growls into his ear.

Archie grins as she releases him from the hug. “Did you see it? Wait, how long have you been watching?” He asks with eyes widened in shock.

“Doesn’t matter,” she says, taking his hand in hers. “Let’s go!” Melanie gently pull him with her as she make her way out of the mob of scholars that had come out of their classes to behold the supermodel.

Buzz of chats fills the air as they walk out of them. Some were unable to believe that Archie is related to the star model, while some argue that the elegant lady is truly his mother since they share no resemblance.

Melanie stops in front of a green Lamborghini, she unlocks the door with the control and nudges Archie to get in.

Being an observant little boy, Archie examines the car for a while, he wonders where she got the car from since his father has no green Lamborghini.

“Whose car is this? And why are you riding it?” He asks, minding his tone since he doesn’t know anything about it yet.

“It’s mine!” Melanie beams, twirling the key in her middle finger as she speaks.

Archie widens his eyes in shock, not believing what she is saying. She just started working in the industry and it hasn’t reach a week yet, where would she get such an amount to buy the eye-catching car?

“I’m not doubting you…” Archie burst into weird laughter, “how is it yours?” He raises his shoulders in the air, staring at the car for the second time to make sure he is seeing things right.

“C’mon it was a gift from the chairman.” She laughs, rubbing her forehead with the tip of her palm. “I sold billions of the newly launched product overnight and my pictures have gone viral compared to others, so I was given this car as a reward.” She grins, tapping on the windscreen of the car with her index finger.

“Wow,” Archie let out in astonishment. “This is too good to be true.” he smiles, wiping the little dirt on the windshield with his jacket. “Congratulations, Auntie!” He flashes her a cute smile.

“Ahh, ahh!” Melanie laugh.

“I was wondering who should I give a ride to first and my mind came to you.” She giggles, she opens the door to the passenger seat and Archie steps into the car.

She closes the door and walks over to the driver’s seat. She gets in and fastens her seatbelt while Archie does the same.

“Thanks for giving me the honour to be the first person to ride in your car. It means a lot to me.” He wipes a drop of tears off his face with his thumb.

Melanie nudge him with her shoulder. “You’re my favourite person, you should expect it.” She nods at him and he smiles shyly.

“Where are we heeding? Home?” He asks, removing his backpack and throwing it into the backseat, together with his lunch box.

“Home? Not!” Melanie chuckle, inserting the key in the ignition.

Archie stares at her in bewilderment. “So, where are we going?” he asks, hoping she would take him for a long ride in her car.

“That question is for you. Where do you have in mind to go?” she throws the question back to him and he caught it with a sweet smile on his face.

“Will you take me anywhere I want?” he inquires, throwing his head backwards. His hair dangles and he smiles at the feeling.

“Just name the place and give the location.” She chips in. Giving him a look that she is serious with what she is saying.

“Then, let’s go to a municipal park.” He shouts happily.

“As you wish!” Melanie smiles, she steps on the break and zooms out of the building.

They connect the stereo and play a rock song that makes Archie sing the song loudly.
