The Nanny Affair

Chapter 9- Rosalie

I wake up early in the morning and decide to go for a run before everyone wakes up. If I'm back before Six-thirty, I should be okay. I take the keys to Jaspers Range Rover and head to Harbour front. I step out of the car and head for the path. I step on the rocks that lead out to the lake and watch as the water flows. The sun isn't even fully up and the heat is already making me sweat. I put my headphones in and start running.

My mind wanders to last night. I have no idea what is going on with me or why I want his body so badly. But something about him makes everything we're doing feel so right. He likes to lay his body next to me when we meet up late at night. He enjoys playing around and teasing me. Together, we just let our imaginations run wild. I enjoy it when he lets his mind wander and tells me what he wants to do to me while we are together. My body starts to warm up, but not from running, but rather from the thoughts. I get goosebumps thinking about all the things he says. I think of the things I want to do to him, and the ideas keep coming. We both get lost in the fantasies that we create, and it is in these moments that I feel most alive.

I notice the time is six in the morning when I glance at my watch. As I jog back to the car, I start to feel as though someone is watching me. I scan my surroundings but can't find anyone. I enter the car, lock the doors, and then drive back to Jasper's house. My mind races as I drive. Trying to reassure myself, I remind myself that I'm safe, and the chances of anyone following me are slim. I park out front and head inside just in time to see Jasper make his way down the hall.

I can watch him walk around day and night in just shorts. His tattoos are exposed across his chest. I notice something I didn't notice last night, a rose on his ribcage.That's new. He catches me staring and my eyes lock on to his.

"Morning," He says softly.

"Morning," I respond. "I'll get your coffee ready and breakfast for the boys then head up to wake them up." I walk past him and smile, looking at the tattoo, "Don't let your fiance see that."

I keep walking and head to the kitchen, I start the coffee maker and get out everything for breakfast for the boys. I jump as Jasper startles me. Still feeling as though someone had been watching me.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

I rub my head, "It's okay." I hand him his coffee and head to wake the boys up for their last day of school before summer break. As soon as they are done eating, they head up to get dressed. Jasper walks out of his room, ready for his work day in a nice navy blue suit. He fiddles with the tie as he walks into the kitchen and I laugh,

"Come here," I tell him.

He walks toward me and our eyes meet. I take his tie and wrap it around his neck and he moves closer. He grips my waist and places me on the counter. My heart starts to flutter as his lips brush against mine. He licks his lips and says,

"I want you so bad," I pull on his tie bringing him closer to me as my lips press against his. I hear the boys running down the stairs and pull away. Acting like nothing has happened and continue to tie Jasper's tie.

"We're ready." Alex states as he and Nate grab their backpacks.

I hop off the counter and grab the Rover's keys and head out with the boys. I drop them off at school and decide to head to the supermarket. As I walk around that same feeling from this morning washes over me. I look up and down the isles filling my cart with what we need for the house. The smell of sandalwood fills my nose and I freeze on the spot.

"Miss, are you alright?" A sweet older lady asks.

I look around and exhale slowly. I nod my head yes and head to the front. I pay for the groceries and head to the car, I put everything in the trunk and head back to the house. I'm greeted with Earl as he helps me with the bags, taking them into the kitchen. I look at the time and it's already Ten-thirty. I decide I'll treat Jasper and make him some lunch.

I pull out the frying pan and start cooking, making him my homemade orange chicken and chow mein noodles. I package it up and head to the car. The drive to his office is grueling. No matter what time of day it is, downtown Toronto is always bad, bumper to bumper. I finally get to his office building and park. I head up and as soon as I step off the Elevator June is there, greeting me with a big smile.

"Mr. Wentworth is in his office." She tells me.

I smile and thank her heading to his door. I knock on the doors and wait for him to answer.

"Come in," He says.

I open the door and a smile crosses his face. I walk in and notice all the women who work for him slowly walk past his open door to get a glimpse of him. I take a seat and place his lunch on his desk.

"So it seems like you have some office crushes." I laugh.

"I don't notice when my mind is on you at all times." He smiles. "Can we talk about this morning? You seemed really jumpy when you got back from your run."

"It was just my mind over thinking." I lie to him, because I know damn well someone was following me and that smell, that smell haunts me.

"Maybe you should sit down with someone, anyone. I'll pay for it all."

Something in me snaps when he says those words.

"First of all, since life isn't fair, I'm not the type to sob in a therapist's chair, and secondly, I'm not the type to accept your charity. I'm not some naïve girl who will comply with your wishes just because you are wealthy." I stand up and walk over to him. I put my hands on his shoulders,

I lean in whisper, "I'm here to do my job and maybe be your cuddle buddy. I'm not your ordinary girl." I lean in whisper, "I'm not weak, your money doesn't impress me, I'm not that chick over there," I look at the red head who slowly walks by his office door, "Or the thot over there," I say about the blonde who's face goes red as she see's how close I am to him.

I walk toward the door and he runs behind me and closes it before I can walk out. "You're the first girl to tell me you don't want my money."

"Well, technically I do, you pay me to be your nanny." I laugh but then it hits me, "But what you really mean is I'm the first girl who doesn't want you for your money. Am I right?"

He nods, "Yeah, I just want your body." I open the door and walk out and smile once last time. I head to the elevator and head to the SUV and head home.
