Unlikely

Chapter 11

“So you really came back. I thought he was lying to keep Ava calm. I hope you got something out of coming back.” Alexis said to me. I thought we were getting along better but she seems a bit rude.

“Yes I did.” I told her. My answer seemed to aggravate her more. With her I took one step forward and three steps backwards. I might never be on her good side completely. Matthew got up and ran to me he hugged me tightly.

“I’m so glad that you are back. I felt so bad after you got fired because of me. I swear this time I will behave.” I hugged him back awkwardly since Ava was still in my arms. He went back to his breakfast. I put Ava in her booster chair and pushed her plate closer to her. Then I sat down at mine we all sat there in silence eating peacefully. Sebastian came in and said goodbye to the kids before leaving. We finished our breakfast and then we loaded the car. I strapped Ava into her car seat and then we were off. I dropped the kids before we went back home. The day was eventful. We played games, did some fine and gross motor skills. She had her Spanish class and took her nap earlier than she usually does since I got a text message from Sebastian. I was on my phone while Ava was sleeping and before I knew it, it was time to go and get the kids. We waited outside their school for them and unlike the other times they immediately came to the car. I greeted them. Matthew greet me back enthusiastically, while Alexis just grumpily said a soft hello. I started to drive. Alexis was on her phone while Matthew kept going on from the backseat about the music playing.

It took them a while before they realized we weren’t going home.

”Where are we going?” Alexis asked me.

”The three of us are going shopping, while you brother is going to the arcade with his friends.” I explained to Alexis, she looked at me like I grew a second head.

"Do you wanna get fired on your first day back? You know he wouldn't want us to go shopping. We need stick to the schedule." Alexa said what I did I would lose my job again. At least she care.

"This morning you ask if I got something out of coming back. This is what I got I asked him for more freedom for you guys." she was staring at me clearly shocked by what I just said. She must have thought I ask for more money and more privileges. That's just not who I am. I'm a nanny because I like spending time with kids I like taking care of them, which means I paid them first that is what my job is after all. 

"You didn't ask for anything for yourself?" she asked me still doubting my motives.

"Of course I did. I asked if I could stay where I was instead of moving back to the house. He said no but that's fine. I just thought since he didn't want me to live there in the first place that it would be better but I guess he changed his mind. Anyways he texted me and told me that I needed to get more appropriate work clothes and I thought it could be fun if we could go shopping together and your brother could have some time with his friends. Don't worry we will be in time to the Polo Country Club." is she just sat there and stared at me looking all confused the rest of the way to the mall. When we stopped at the mall. I shut down the car and turned towards Matthew.

"All right Matthew your friends will be waiting for you at the arcade. I will be dropping you off there and one of the parents will be with you guys at all times. She has my number if anything goes wrong and if you need anything just ask her to call me and I will come. You leave the arcade or the food court until I come and get you. Is that clear, Matthew?" I told him in my stearn voice. There was no way I was having a repeat of the previous time. 

" Alexis you don't have to stay with me the whole time. Like it if you would but if you wanna go out out on your own then you just need to keep your cell phone with you if I call you you need to answer every time." she still didn't say anything. 

"As for you little miss Ava you will stay with me." I told her so that she didn't feel excluded in this little conversation we were having in the car. I told them everything I needed to tell them you got out of the car I pet Ava in her stroller and then we were off. We first went to the arcade to drop Matthew and I had a talk with the mother that agreed to stay with the kids. I told her that I was the only one that was allowed to collect Matthew and that he wasn't allowed to leave without me. I trusted him a little bit more than I did when I started working for them but I'm still not taking a chance but I rather have an adult keeping an eye on him. Them before we went shopping I stopped at a store and got us some cool drink. Tell me all of it didn't seem like Alexis wanted to go on her own since she was still with me. We went from store to store and she help me pick out some outfits that she thought was more appropriate. I've never been told that I dress inappropriately. I always make she to cover up and not to wear anything short, but I guess with a rich family there is other things to consider. 

Alexis chose a lot of pants. Mostly capri-, palazzo- and dress pants. She said no to jeans, skirts and dresses. With these pants she got me blouses and sweaters. And some camisoles for under the blouses. It wasn't really my style, but I would make sure to wear them. One thing I think they didn't think of is the fact that I have to play with a two year old all day. 

Once we were done with me we got some things for Alexis. She knew her exact size so we didn't have to fit anything, but she basically loaded one of everything in the trolley. I'm so glad I don't have to pay that bill. Mrs. Wilde gave me the household credit card that she does all the shopping with for me to buy my new uniform essentially. Alexis has her own card just like Matthew. Once we were done we left to go and get Matthew, but on the way there Alexis froze.

"What's wrong?" I asked the living statue standing next to me. 

"Those girls are from my school. This is so embarrassing. Me shopping with the help." I tried to not take offense, but I was offended. We had a great time. 

"They don't know I work for you. It will be alright let's go talk to them." She started to say no, but I was already walking over to them. My aim was not to embarrass Alexis, but I also didn't want them to spread rumors. 

"Hey girls Alexis tells me you go to school with her." I said as I reached them. Alexis just said a simple 'Hi' 

"Are you shopping with your nanny?" One girl said while snorting which is extremely unlady like. I keep forgetting that I'm dealing with high society snobs. 

"I'm not the nanny. I'm a family friend. I'm staying with them. I'm moving to here to Santa Barbara, but my house is still in the construction phase. Alexis is showing me around. So we decided to come shopping. She's having a big pool party at her house tomorrow and decided that she needed all new outfits. It's going to be the party of the year." I have make sure that they do not know that I'm a nanny. As well as giving them the reason to think that we were shopping for a party. And if I know high school it's still the same from when I was in high school they will want to be at this amazing party. 

"Oh you're having a party? I didn't know you like to party you are always so serious." 

"Yeah always just invite my friends from the country club. It's usually very exclusive." I couldn't help that smile that spread on my face after Alexis told them that it was exclusive. 

"Maybe we could come?" obviously they would wanna come to this exclusive party but doesn't really exist yet. I'm guessing I'm going to have to talk to Sebastian about having a pool party. It falls within my new agreement. I told him that Alexis has to see that there's more to the world than just studying and being serious.

"I guess you could." she said all calm and collected like it wouldn't make a difference if they are there or not.

"We need to go now go now girls send you the information." Alexis and I left to go get Matthew. Alexis had the biggest smile on her face that I've ever seen. Finally I seem to have done something right. We found Matthew at the arcade having a blast with his friends. He didn't even complain when I told him it's time to go. All of us went to the food court and sat down to have some food before we had to go to the Country Club. I pack their things beforehand knowing they won't be time to go home. When we were done eating the left for the country club.

Successful day after the country club we went home to have dinner and unpack all our needs stuff. This is where the hard part starts. I need to go and talk to Sebastian about the party that Alexis is going to have Saturday. I don't know why but we suddenly have this really odd why between us. It might be because everytime I see him I find myself thinking about him without a shirt or daydreaming about how hot is dreaming about him. All this makes me feel really guilty. I can't really tell myself not to be attracted to you that not how it works. I just honestly need to get a grip and get over this attraction as fast as I can and do my job. There's no point in having this attraction because I'm in a relationship and even if I wasn't in a relationship he's my boss. There would be no future for us and if I'm not wrong he has a girlfriend as well. A supermodel what would you ever want to do with me. The nanny from a Small Town.

I've never had this problem with any of my other jobs. On the other hand all my other jobs but the parents was still married. I've never worked for it a single dad before. Also not a lot of single dad looks like this single dad. He seemed like someone that supposed to be on the cover of a magazine. Honestly I don't know how anyone could find him unattractive. 

He didn't join us for dinner which was odd. So I went to his office and knocked on the door. I didn't want to disturb him while he was working but the party is the next day so I needed to sort this out. Come in and I went inside and close the door. If he's planning on yelling at me I don't want the kids to hear.

"Ah, good you are here I was meaning to talk to you. Here I got you a card so that you don't have to use Mrs. Wilde's card since the kids seems to be going out more often now. I don't want you to come and bother me every time you want to do something with them." I took the card and thanked him for it.

"Did you manage to find any appropriate clothing?" once again with this appropriate clothing thing. My clothes aren't that bad. They may not be expensive, but they weren't bad looking. I sighed and nodded at him.

" Alexis chose all the clothes. What you are expecting me to wear. Anyway I came here to talk to you about something." I could see on his face that he was irritated and I haven't even asked him yet. 

"Alexis and I bumped into some of the girls from her school and we told them that she was having a pool party tomorrow...here." The shock on his face seemed so out of place. Was it really such q bad thing for her to have a party.

"You should have asked me before you arrange something like this!" Yes he was angry. I'm starting to think he has an anger management issue because to me it seems like he is always overreacting about every little thing. 

"Since she already told them it's fine, but in the future ask first. I'll have to arrange with their mother that she won't be joining Matthew and Ava this weekend. I'll also send someone else with them since you need to supervise this party. My girlfriend will also be here this weekend. I usually rely on the kids being at thier mother when she visits so that we can spend time together. I'll take her out instead. I'm sure she won't want to be surrounded by a bunch of teenagers." I don't know why, but I felt a pang of jealousy shooting through me. I have no reason to be jealous. It's sweet that he wants to spend some alone time with his girlfriend. I don't know if I'm jealous because he actually gets to see her whenever he wants or if I'm jealous that he makes time for her. I know Juan does important work and I shouldn't feel this way, but he wasn't even planning on seeing me this year. Then there is the fleeting thought that I mighy be jealous because I find him attractive and I don't like the fact that he has a girlfriend. Which is the worst type of jealous to be. It's jealousy like that that makes you nasty. The last thing I want is to be nasty to someone because of a silly little crush. 

"Is that all?" He asked and I noticed that I zoned out a bit.

"Yes." I said quickly wanting to turn and leave to hide my embarrassing blush.

"I'll inform Mrs. Wilde about the party. She make sure you have everything you need. You should just tell her what the itinerary is." Right I should probably start planning this last minute party. I need to go and talk to Alexis. I smiled while nodding to show him I heard him and understood the assignment. I left his office and rushed to Alexis. She told me exactly what she wanted. I ensured her I would get everything sorted. She just needed to start inviting people.

Sebastian POV 

I don't know what it is about her that attacts me so. Just having her here in my office is intoxicating. I wish she could be closer. It irritated me. I didn't want to have these urges. Then she brought up the party. I needed this weekend to get lost in a supermodel. I needed a distraction to forget that I want the nanny. In order to have my girl on every surface in this house I needed the kids and Mila gone. This is so frustrating, but I also want Alexis to have friends. So I guess overall it isn't such a bad idea. I picked up the phone and called my ex to tell her that Alexis wouldn't be joining the other kids. She was upset since she mostly cares about Alexis. She struggles to bond with Matthew since he is a boy and she never wanted Ava. I pay her to give attention to the kids so she doesn't have much of a choice. 

I finished up my work and was going to my bedroom when I heard Alexis and Mila talking. Alexis was so excited it warmed my heart. I love that she is opening up and making friends. Mila might have had a point when she said I was to strict and scheduled, but I will never admit it to her. I smiled shaking my head. I need to have a cold shower and rinse any though of the hot red head out of my mind. I need to get some rest tonight. I don't want to be tossing and turning all night thinking about her. I was unsuccessful. The shower didn't help. Her smile kept popping into my head. Finding her body hot I get, but obsessing about a smile just leaves me confused.
