Blame it on Paris

Chapter 4

Michael, Craig and Ken were sitting by the gate laughing as Ollie entertained them by trying to dance to the music that Craig was playing on his phone.

"Your kid's a riot!" Ken snickered as he watched him shake his diaper covered bottom.

"He totally gets it from me!" Craig said laughing, "As his godfather, I am responsible for more than anyone realized!"

Michael rolled his eyes, "Whatever you say Craig!"

"When is your nanny supposed to get here?"" Ken asked.

Michael looked at his watch, "She should have landed about 10 minutes ago. She was going to meet us here."

"And what does she look like?" Ken asked.

"From what I could tell from her video, pictures from her parents' house and the way they described her, she has dark red hair, gray eyes and glasses. A normal bookworm," Michael ticked off from memory.

The three men talked and played with Ollie for a few more minutes when they all looked up when they heard, "Mr. Whitlock?"

All three men were stunned speechless at the woman before them. Craig was the first to wake up and elbowed his best friend, "Um yeah sorry! I'm Michael Whitlock, you must be Anelise," he said standing up and extending his hand to her.

"Yes, I'm Anelise, it's a pleasure to meet you," She said smiling and shaking his hand. They both felt a spark run through their skin when they touched. Craig and Ken were still staring at her, open mouthed.

"This is my best friend Craig Johnson, an attorney with the company and Ken Banks who handles HR and labor laws," Michael said, and reached down and pulled Ollie up to him, "And this is Ollie. Ollie, buddy, this is Anelise. She's going to play with you while Daddy is at work."

Ollie was adorable and Ani was instantly in love with him. He had big brown eyes that sparkled and light brown hair cut close to his head and a mischievous smile that made her heart melt.

"Hi Ollie. My name is Ani," she said softly and Michael felt Ollie lean towards her, "Hi Ani!"

Michael set Ollie down and kneeled next to his son, "Why don't you show Ani what toys you have in your backpack?"

Ani was kneeling next to Ollie and talking softly to him, so Michael stood back up and looked at the men next to him in shock. They just watched the two for a minute as they got to know each other then she stood up and looked at them.

"Mr. W-I mean Michael, they told me to check in with the gate attendant once I got here to make sure my luggage made it to this flight. I will be right back," She sweetly said and they watched her walk to the ticket counter. She stood and talked with the flight attendant as they just stood there. She was wearing black jeans, artfully torn, a white t-shirt with a bright blue cardigan over it and matching Converse shoes. Her hair was pulled back into a long thick braid.

"DUDE!!" Craig hissed and elbowed his best friend, "She is no fucking bookworm! She is like a playboy bunny!"

"She is not what I was expecting at all!" Michael responded and felt his heart beating erratically in his chest.

"I don't normally say crap like this, but she is HOT and I am actually a little jealous that you get to be staying in the same room with her!" Ken whispered, "You are gonna be a horny mess!"

"Mickey, you are royally fucked with this woman! You have to just keep reminding yourself that she is your nanny!" Craig said, as Michael had a pained expression wash over his face.

"I feel horrible saying this since I am probably old enough to be her father, but if that's what Master's Level students look like, I'm going back to school!" Ken decided out loud.
