Unlikely

Chapter 10

 I finished my day at the bakery. I was sad to leave. It wasn’t the perfect job, but I did enjoy my time there. I would miss the carefree vibe it offered versus the super strict vibe that comes with Sebastian. After finishing my day at the bakery, I went back up to the apartment to pack up my things. I wasn’t in a hurry to go back. Not at night, at least. I don’t want to keep the kids up, because I feel like they played a big role in me coming back. So I decided to have dinner here one last night and then go to the hilltop when everyone is sleeping. That way, I can surprise the kids in the morning. I cooked a nice dinner and then, after I cleaned the dishes, I left. I took a taxi up to the house. I only arrived after 10 pm. I got out of the taxi and got my bag. I was walking to the door when Sebastian opened it up in just some sweats. My eyes flashed to his exposed abs. He looked so sculptured. I swallowed hard before looking up. I saw him smirking. I was definitely caught. My cheeks turned red.

“I thought you might have decided not to come back.” He said leaning against the door frame while I stood there with my heavy bag.

“I didn’t want to keep the kids up. I thought it would be better if they only saw me in the morning.” I explained my reasoning. I didn’t think on the fact that I would keep him up. I was only concerned with the kids. Maybe subconsciously I hoped that I would wake him up.

“I told them that you were coming back. They were disappointed when you didn’t show up.” Damn it I never thought that he would tell them. Now I feel bad that I wasted so much time.

“It’s fine, they will forgive you since in their eyes you can do no wrong. You are the helpless lamb and I’m the big bad wolf. The clearly don’t see the cunning fox in the lamb skin.” I didn’t know if I should feel insulted or take it as a compliment. I don’t think of myself as being cunning. I didn’t do anything wrong. He was the one who realized that he was the wrong and he approached me I just tried to improve my working environment.

“Can I come in my bag is heavy.” I finally told him. He did something I didn’t expect he reached out and took my bag. I froze as his hand covered mine. I looked up at him through my eyelashes. I saw him watching me gauging my reaction. I let go of my bag so that he could take it. I was hoping he would have just given way for me. He started leading the way to my basement room, but he didn’t take me to the basement.

“They finished the basement while you were gone, so I had to get a new room for you. I didn’t have a lot available so while I try and find a better place I moved your bed into the storage space where the things for the basement was in. I feel like he is lying about not having space other than a storage cupboard. I think this is a punishment for me challenging him, but I don’t need anything more than a bed so I’m fine with it. The storage unit was underneath the stairs. It had more space than a normal storage unit under stairs since the stairs are very wide. I didn’t hate it, I did wish that I could have a window. Formerly I was in a basement without a window and now I am in a cupboard.

“This is perfect thank you.” I said not letting this stunt of his get to me. I took my bag from him making sure that we don’t touch each other again. I walked into my smallish space and closed the door in his face. I should probably not be like this with my boss, but we aren’t on a good space with one each other and then there is this weird feeling I felt when he touched my hand, not to even mention that I checked him out. I don’t know why I did that, obviously he is incredibly hot, but I am in a relationship. I moved to California to make our relationship last. I instantly felt so guilty. I know people say that you can look at the menu,but you shouldn’t order. I’m just not that type or I wasn’t before. No one has ever caught my eye not since I’ve been with Juan. I put on Juan’s T-shirt wit shorts underneath. I then got in the bed I have an early morning.

Sebastian POV

I opened the door for Mila. I honestly thought she decided not to come back. Which made me furious since she had all those demands only to not show up. But her she is in front of me. I saw her checking me out. I didn’t even think about putting a shirt on when there was at the gate waking me up. I guess it’s unprofessional for me to be so casual around her. This is why I didn’t initially want her to live with me since I feel like I’ll need to change my habit and a person mustn’t feel uncomfortable in their own home.

I think her checking me out made me excited. I have no idea why since I am in a relationship and as far as I know she is too. But just a thought that this little red head vixen was checking me out made me feel all bothered. I guess that is natural you enjoy being looked at with lust my gorgeous woman. He definitely gave me an ego boost. Busy thinking about how she checked me out that I didn't notice is standing there holding a heavy bag until she put it up. Trying to be a dense and then I took the bag from her. My hand grazed hers and she looked up at me through her eyelashes. My eyes flash with her big innocent green ones. I got something in me stir I decided to ignore it. I don't understand my attraction to her. Most of the time she infuriates me and still when I look at her she also makes me feel a calmness. This is why women get away with most things, they use their beauty to their advantage, but to be honest she has never done that. She is too selfless. She is always putting the kids needs before her own. I would have given her anything she asked for if she came back and she only asked stuff for the kids. 

I started to lead her to her new living space. I wasn't punishing her, by giving her this small space. The basement was always temporary. I'm actually saving her. Out of side, out of mind. The fact is she is an excellent nanny and my children have come to rely on her. I don't want to mess this up for them. I've never had to curb an attraction. If I wanted someone I went for it, but she is employed by me and the both of us are in a relationship. Even with all these reasons of why I shouldn't I still can't help thinking about it and putting her in a guest room close to mine seems like giving in. At least with her being far away and not having an actual room it makes it harder for me to give in to this urges. 

She took her bag from me and actually closed the door in my face. I never thought her to be rude, but maybe she is also struggling with this attraction. Maybe her closing the door in my face is her way of closing the door on the attraction. I forced myself not to make trouble by knocking on her door and putting her in her place. She is the employee and I am the employer. She needs to treat me with respect. I noticed in the bakery when we got riled up our bodies seemed to drift to one another. I would have loves to kiss her just to shut her up. 

Mila POV 

I shot straight up in bed. What the hell is wrong with me. How could I have a dream like that about a man that infuriates me. It felt so real every touch, every kiss and every word. I don't even have dreams like that about Juan. I'm all sweaty and hot from the dream. I took my phone and checked the time it was only 4 am. I got out of the bed and decided to go and take a cold shower. First I needed to get something to drink. So I went to the kitchen. My bare feet on the tiles the only sound in the house. I got in the kitchen and stretched up to the top cupboard to get a glass before going to the fridge to get some water. I filled the glass and drank all the water before filling it again. As I closed the fridge and turned around I heard him speak. 

"You seem thirsty?" A yelp escape my lips as I dropped the glass. He jumped forward and caught it. Which left him standing right in front of me. He was way to close ans he still wasn't wearing a shirt. His chest was so close I could touch it. I imagined my small hand touching his hard chest. Flashes from the dream popped up and I took a big step back.

"You almost gave me an heart attack. You can't just sneak up on people like this!" 

"It's my house. I don't need to sneak. In fact you are the one who is sneaking around so early in the morning." I was finding it hard to concentrate with the images of my dream flashing before my eyes and his fine chest out for display in front of me. 

"I wasn't sneaking, I woke up and wanted to go shower, but I was thirsty." I explained my actions. He only smirked at me before handing me the glass. I took it carefully trying not to touch his hand. I felt hot again so I downed the glass and rushed out of the kitchen. When I reached my room to get my clothes I noticed I brought the empty glass with me

Sebastian POV

I was sitting in the sitting area in the dark sipping at the coffee I made hours ago. I couldn’t sleep knowing she was here in the house. It’s her fault for looking at me like that. I couldn’t get those eyes out of my mind. I heard footsteps. It was to early for anyone to be awake and then I saw her walking past the sitting area. She was only wearing a large t-shirt. It was obviously a guys shirt. It made me weirdly angry and if I was honest with myself jealous. I decided to follow her. She didn’t notice. She is clearly not observant about her surroundings. She reached up to get a glass and I was sure I would see her ass, but she had shorts on underneath her shirt. I felt disappointed. That’s when I noticed how pervy my behavior was so I decided to let her know that I was there. She yelled, clearly I scared her. I caught the glass since she was barefoot and I didn’t want her to cut her feet up. This made me end up right in front of her and I was caught in her eyes. I had to stop my hand from touching her cheek. She bolted so fast. She must feel the attraction if this is her reaction to me. I laughed as I noticed that she left with the empty class. I shook my head at her as I left to get ready for the day. It’s my first day back at work where I know that the kids won’t be bothering me and I don’t have to worry about anything to happen with them while she is with them. I’m even going to go into the office to work. I took a shower and then got dressed in a suit.

I walked down to the kitchen and got caught up in the aroma of coffee. I grabbed a cup knowing I'll need it since I didn't sleep the previous nights. I sat down and waited for my breakfast. Alexis came in and hot herself some coffee as well. 

"Long night?" I asked her and she only nodded. She took a sip of coffee and then laid down on her arms. She has a big test and she probably studied till late. Our relationship needs work. She is a lot like me in the sense that she will work herself hard for what she wants. She is also like me in the sense that she will sacrifice a lot to get what she wants. Which is in her case relationships. She doesn't really have friends. She has classmates and teammates. What she needs are real mates. 

I finished my coffee just as the breakfast was placed in front of us. Alexis sat up straight and started to eat. 

"Fill my cup. We'll also need another plate." The girl took my cup and nodded. Matthew came in all energized the complete opposite of Alexis and me. He sat down and immediately dug into his food. 

"Did your girlfriend come earlier?" Alexis asked as the extra plate of food was placed on the table, but before I could answer Mila came in with a smiling Ava. 

"Good morning!" Mila greeted everyone cheerfully. She was wearing a cute summer dress that showed of her legs and her tiny middle. How I would love to grab onto that waist and pull her tightly against my chest. I got up having lost my appetite for food. I had different cravings. I left the room as fast as I could. I need to get these thoughts under control. I grabbed my keys, laptop and wallet before going to say goodbye to the kids. Then I left for my office. My absence has been noticed. We are busy developing a new hotel. It's a lot of work and everything has to be approved by me. So if I'm not focuses nothing gets done and I set a deadline. I don't like it when my projects go on for to long. I get bored easily...just like I do with women...I haven't been in a very long term relationship since my marriage. Anyway I usually have one big project. This time it is a hotel. My big projects are usually from the ground up and then I have side projects that are renovation orientated. I like flipping houses. It's with my side projects that I get the money for my big projects. 

The profit I make at flipping property goes into an account for new projects. The money i make from properties I own covers all the expenses of my business and my personal life. So the new big projects that I finish I sell and that is pure profit that is put away to grow. 

My business is all about buying, selling and creating. I love what I do and I so it all for my kids so that they never need to worry about money. 

I've never had a problem with work, but now I find myself thinking about a red head distraction at home. My focus isn't at my work like it always use to be. Which I noticed when I picked tiles for a bathroom that was the same shade green as her eyes
