Chapter 3-Knowing Each Other II

"Believe me Mr. Bruce, you won't spook her. She is aware that you're coming today. I will be out as soon as I can."

Jake followed Logan out and through some rooms until they reached the back area of the house.

"The poor are out that way," Logan said, pointing to a large glass sliding door. I'm sure you'll find Miss Bruce either in the pool or in the garden which us off to the side. Good luck sir."

He narrowed his eyes on the man. "Why is everyone wishing me luck, is the child that bad?" He saw the smirk on the man's face and felt like punching him.

"Child?" He chuckled. "It was nice meeting you sir, too bad you won't be her for long," he said and walked away, leaving him confused.

Walking outside he felt the heat from the sun beating down on him and wished he wasn't wearing a damn suit. He reached into his pocket and took out the sunglasses, he put them on and looked around at his surroundings. He noticed the garden first, it was spectacular with its different flowers and statues. Now he wasn't a girly type of guy but he did appreciate the beauty.

It dawned on him that there were no guards outside in the back, though there were security cameras everywhere. But why would a child be here all alone, unless she had a nanny but his new boss never mentioned one? As he moved further he saw the pool and there was a woman laying on a lounge, wearing dark sunglasses. She appeared to be sleeping and there was no sign of a kid around. Moving closer he couldn't help thinking this must be the nanny and his eyes wandered over her body. She had dark hair, wearing a skimpy bikini and he got hard looking at her body, she was a hot little number. He would have to find out who she was before he made a move on her; she might very well be the boss's girlfriend, even though she looked way too young for him.

When he reached her he smiled down at her, wanting her to see his dimples, women seemed to go for them. No matter where he was, if he saw a woman he wanted to get into bed all he had to do was show her the dimples, it worked every time.

"Are you going to say something or just stand there looking at my body?" She said in a very rude tone of voice.

He didn't care for her tone so he dropped the smile. "I'm looking for Anastasia. I was told I could find her out here. If you're the nanny you're doing a lousy job as I don't see the kid anywhere around." 

"I'm Anastasia you babbling baboon."

It made his blood boil when she called him that name. If she were a guy he would have used his fist, but as she was a female he bit his tongue. "Wait, you're Anastasia?"

Her head tilted up towards him. "I see my father scraped the bottom of the barrel when he hired you. To answer your question, yes, I am her. Were you not told that I was a grown-ass woman and not a child?" She asked him.

He ran his fingers through his collar. "I thought I was hired to protect your father, no one told me about you. A kid I could handle, but I don't intend on watching over you twenty-four seven. This is not going to work for me, good day Miss. Bruce."

"Are you sure you want to walk away from the money my father is offering you, not to mention the bonus? I think you should stick around for a while."

"Why should I?" The money was good, too good to walk away from but he sensed that she was going to Be a whole lot of trouble and hard work

"You seem different from the others, they were weak and such pushovers. I have a feeling you'll be a challenge and I do enjoy a challenge. Or are you afraid of me?" She asked , a wicked grin appearing on her face.

"I'm not afraid of anything," he snapped.

"Describe yourself to me," she requested.

He started telling her about himself, but only what he wanted her to know when she put her hand up to stop him.

"No, describe what you look like," she requested, as he became more confused.

He rolled his eyes at her, already tired of her game. "You can see what I look like or are you blind?" He asked her.

She cocked her head to the side and removed her sunglasses. "Yes I am blind, has no one told you? I like to know who someone is and what they look like if I'm to be spending any amount of time with them." She stood up, standing in front of him.

His mouth dropped open and he looked into her eyes. It was one thing to be a woman's bodyguard, but one who was blind, he just wasn't equipped to deal with that. "No one told me you were a woman, nor that you were blind. Am sorry for making that remark." He couldn't stop his eyes from moving down to her chest when she got up and stood close to him.

"Jake Joe, my father told me you were coming. Now I'm going to touch your face, it's how I see someone." Her hands went to his shoulders first and moved up to his face. "You have broad shoulders, a full head of silky soft hair. Nice cheekbones and a strong jaw and your lips are perfect," she said, running her fingertips over them. "I bet the woman goes but over you and these lips of yours."

He stood there, his heart was beating fast when she started touching him. He had to wonder if she really did this to everyone or was she just trying to get under his skin.
