All Chapters of An Affair With His Virgin Nanny: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

REINAThe door swings open, then shut, just as I’m heading towards my room. Alan stands in front of it, looking confused.“I thought you’d be home by now.” He says, advancing towards me. He checks his watch. It should be almost 12 by now. He looks a bit drunk, and James passed by us with several shopping bags in his hands.“I was supposed to be.” I tell him with a sigh, “But I just couldn’t leave Ethan alone.”The expression on his face screams, ‘Of course.’He gets in front of me and slips my hair behind my ear, staring down at me from his intimidating height.“You should have been with him today, it’s Christmas Eve. You had work?” I ask calmly.He shakes his head no. “Not really, had a few things to handle. I’ll make it up to him tomorrow.”He pulls me to his chest and I lean into him without hesitation, shutting my eyes as we hold each other.“Its true what Ethan said.” I start. “You’ve been smiling a whole lot lately.”He cups my cheeks, gently pulling me away. He has a bright smi

REINA“She always liked to suck her dirty, little thumb! We were so done with her. We all took turns trying different methods to get her to stop.” Gramma spills to everyone on the table, leaving me blushing with embarrassment and my face in my hands, while Alan and the rest laugh at everything she says.Our family picture album lies on the table, open for all to see. This particular page had me on a bed, my eyes droopy as I ducked on my thumb.“Gramma, you really don’t have to say all that.” I groan. She ignores me, turning over to the next page of the album. This time, it’s Tee on the page, but he’s looking really dope to say anything but. I suck it in as we keep flipping the pages, getting a laugh or two, adoring the rest.Eventually, we finish the album and Tee flicks on the TV with a bright smile still etched on his face.“Let’s watch some Christmas classics!” He calls back at us. Alan and I’s eyes meet across the room and after a brief, heated stare at each other, we try to focus

REINATee and Gramma don’t stay long even after they arrive an hour after us. Tee wants to—I can see it written all over his face—but Gramma is thoroughly tired, and we both know we have to let her rest. I walk back from escorting them to the car Alan provided outside, trying to maintain keeping my chin up.“Your dress is gorgeous. You look like a real life doll.” I turn around to see who’s given me my first compliment for the night. She smiles brightly at me, then raises her camera to get a shot.She rushes to me and shows me the shot she took. I gasp. It’s clearly an unaware picture. My eyes are wide as I look at her, giving me the impression of having the cutest doe eyes. My hair is only a bit messier but it just makes me look more real. My hands grab at my dress… I just look like a princess!“Like it?” She squeaks against my ear. My smile takes over my whole face.“Like it? I love it!” I gush. “Let me take more!”She goes back a few steps and takes more pictures, while I change

REINA“Oh my God.” I gasp, dangling the diamond neckpiece in the air. It’s such a sight! I notice the small locket on it and open it eagerly. A chuckle escapes me when I see the picture inside. It’s a picture of all of us I took during my earlier days here. Alan looking like a grump while Ethan and I stuck out our tongue like goofs… Quickly, my laughter turns to a a small sob. I glance at Alan who’s laughing at me. I swat his chest, wiping my eyes with the back of my hand.“You know, back then, I was sure you were going to drive me nuts.” He tells me, holding out his hand for the neckpiece. I give it to him and turn around.“So I didn’t end up driving you nuts?” I can’t help asking. He laughs. I feel his arm graze my skin, and just the slight touch causes my body to tingle. The coldness of the metal directly contrasts with the heat of his hands on my skin.When he takes a while to respond, I know this is affecting him too.“Oh you did.” He finally says, moving back after he’s clasped

REINA “You wanted to get him mad at me, and you succeeded. I’m sure you’re glad.” Thelma shrugs. “I had to do something to put some sense into you. Shame I had to do it the hard way. That man is still mourning his wife. Throwing yourself on him will only bring you more harm than good.”My lip curls with a tinge of repulsion. “And who asked you to look out for me? How many times have I tried to tell you that I’m not your freaking kid sister and there’s no need for you to keep acting like this! Let. Me. Take. The. Fall. I don’t understand you anymore, Thelma. It’s really getting scary, the way you act. Stop treating me like a darn child. Or I’ll be forced to think this is not actually what you claim it is.”I wrap my arm around my chest, tilt my head and dare her to contradict me. She just purses her lips and turns around to check the ribs she has on the stove.“I don’t want any problems, Thelma.” I sigh, moving closer to her. “My choices may not be acceptable to you, but don’t do thi
