"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.
She stopped on her tracks. She turned around to face him. “Did you listen to me when I was trying to talk to you 2 days back. Did you give me a chance to explain myself? Then how could you expect me to give you a chance either. You know what’s even funnier, your son is more understanding and mature than you. And look at you! You are so arrogant that you don’t let other people talk and think that you are the only right person in this whole world.” she lashed out and left from there. Jordan sighed in defeat and looked down.10 days have passed like this. Mrs. Alves is feeling well. Her health improved, thanks to Anastasia who took care of her every single day. Abram also took care of her and played with her to lighten her mood. Also, he is not arrogant towards Anastasia like he was before. But when it comes to her relationship with Daniel, there was no improvement. She has been ignoring him since that incident. And at this point, it made Jordan annoyed even more as she was not even givi
One month has passed and Anastasia was trying every possible way to build a special place in Abram’s heart. But nothing was a success. At the beginning, she was trying to be Abram’s mother, but as the time passed she realized that she has to build a relationship of friendship with him so that he could trust her and open up to her. He could share his problems, his achievements with her that will definitely bring them both closer. So now she is trying her best to develop the friendship between Abram and her. She knows that food is something that can make any person happy. So, she have started making food for Abram. At first he was being stubborn but slowly he got used to it. He doesn’t say it but he secretly likes her food. That’s the only improvement that happened in a month.But she also know that it will take time as it is not easy for Abram either to allow some other person in his life just like that. And about Daniel, he was just the same. In fact, he has become colder towards her.
Anastasia came back home and opened the door of her room. She plopped on the bed and closed her eyes. She opened her eyes slowly and just stared at the ceiling, still thinking about what Mrs. Alves said to her. “That innocent child, he has seen nothing in his life yet, still he is so lonely. He just needs love.”She said and let out a breath. She couldn’t sleep the whole night thinking about her decision. Suddenly the sun rays hit her face. She looked at the clock to check time. She didn’t even realize when it was 7 am in the morning. She sighed and got up to get ready. She entered her bathroom and turned on the shower.The cold water was hitting her face, calming her mind. Somewhere she have now made up her mind. She got out of the shower and wrapped her body with a towel. She got ready and checked out herself in the mirror one last time. She picked up her phone and called someone. “Hello Mrs. Alves, can we meet?”Anastasia think for a while then decided to share this first with her
Jordan got up and saw Abram sleeping peacefully in his arms. He smiled and kissed his puffy cheeks. “Wake up champ, you will be late for school” “mmm just 7 minutes more Dad”, Abram said still closing his eyes. “No, just wake up already otherwise you will be late for school and miss your school bus. Come on get up”, Jordan said while poking his bum playfully. “Ugh okay fine I am up now” Abram got up and pouted adorably. “Good boy, now go get ready, I’ll be waiting for you outside for breakfast okay?” Abby nodded, smiling at Daniel.In the breakfast table they were munching on their food. Jordan and Abram just finished eating when Mrs. Alves came. “Good morning boys” “Good Morrniiing” Jordan and Abram said in unison. Abram ran and hugged Mrs. Alves’s legs as he could reach there only. Mrs. Alves chuckled and picked him up holding him in her arms. “How are you, my son?” Mrs. Alves asked him. “I am fine grandma, I missed you” Abram said and kissed her cheek. Suddenly they heard a bus hon
When we broke away from the kiss standing in front of us was a nurse blushing beet red. She kept on opening and closing her mouth as a fish dopped out of the water. When she composed herself and got her voice back, she apologized. But her face was still red from the embarrassment."Oh sorry, I didn't know you guys were busy. I'm sorry for interrupting your moment I will come back later." She apologized again casting her eyes down. She is so cute and pretty, she looks nice in her uniform.Before she left Jake retorted, " next time knock before you enter into a private room." He was furious, he clenched and unclenched his fist. I don't know why he looks so worked up this is not something for him to get mad at." I knocked on the door several times no one responded so I entered I thought miss Anastasia was asleep or in the washroom that's why she didn't hear me knock. I'm sorry it won't happen again please pardon me for my mistake." The the nurse apologized profusely. I could see the hur
"Son will you get a hold of yourself." Mr. Joe reprimanded Jake in an authoritative voice. You could feel the pain in his voice, although he hasn't known her for long he considered her his daughter and she has grown on him."Dad she is gone, Anastasia is gone and it's my fault" Jake wailed like a child, seating on the hospital floor. Knees up, his head on his knees he painfully gripped his hair. He was rocking himself back and don't like he was sitting on a rocking chair. His hair is disheveled, his eyes red and puffy from crying his nose is red also."No son it's not your fault" Mr. Anderson tried to console his son. Mrs. Anderson and Allison were crying bitterly. Edward was trying to console the two females. You could feel the grievances hanging around them like a thick Cloud."Yes dad it's my fault, I told her everything is going to be alright. I told her the surgery would be successful! But I failed her. I couldn't do anything to help her." Jake said to his father. Silently sobbin
