The Au Pair - Pt. 01
The house was quiet in that way it only ever was mid-morning. Sophie was at school, Elise at work, and the stillness had settled in. Through the half-open blinds of the study a pale light spilled in, catching the edge of a paperweight, the reflection of glass where the photo frame stood - Elise and Sophie smiling on a beach two summers ago, hair whipped sideways by the wind.
The cursor blinked on my laptop screen. An unanswered email open, dozens more waiting. I wasn't reading them.
Somewhere outside a lawnmower started up, the background noise of middle-class suburbia. The clock ticked and the chair creaked beneath me. I'd been sitting too long.
Then I heard her.
Footsteps light against the hardwood. No urgency. A slow, even approach - and then the door opened without a knock. She stepped inside as if the room was hers.
Madison.
Barefoot, in that worn oversized white T-shirt she often wore around the house, the one that slipped too far down one shoulder, the sleeves rolled loosely at her upper arms. The hem grazed the very top of her thighs. Her skin was glowing faintly, her legs bare, long, calves marked faintly with the imprints of bedsheets. Her hair was pulled into a lazy knot, strands loose at her temples, the kind of effortless disarray only the young wear so naturally. No makeup, no expression but that soft, resting calm she always carried with her.
She didn't say good morning.
She stood in the doorway for a moment, fingers toying with the hem of her shirt, then tilted her head slightly, "How'd you sleep, Mr. Jones?" she asked, voice low and easy, no lift at the end, just a quiet delivery like the answer wasn't that important.
I blinked.
"Fine," I said, or thought I did. My voice sounded strange to me - dry and strangled.
She nodded once. Then walked across the room.
She moved neither slow or fast, just steady. Her bare feet brushed the rug without a sound. She didn't ask another question. Didn't look around. Just stepped to the side of the desk, hands resting lightly on the edge.
And then, without ceremony, she lowered herself.
One smooth motion. Knees folding, her palms sliding down my thighs as she sank to the floor in front of me.
The chair creaked again beneath me, but I didn't move. Didn't speak.
