Dante hires Athena as a nanny but little does he know she's trouble. She looks cute and good with his 7 year old daughter Luna. He didn't know he would end up falling in love with her.
Athena finally found a job that made her happy. She was taking c...
"Athena, are you ok..?" Dante asks me, walking over to me. I don't respond to him, instead I just stare at the ceiling.
20 minutes later
"Sono troppo occupato per affrontare i tuoi stupidi errori in questo momento!" I hear Dante yelling at someone on the phone in Italian. Still laying on the couch, I wondered who he was talking to and what he was saying. (Translation- I'm too busy to deal with your stupid mistakes right now)
Dante hangs up and groans. "Is everything ok?" I ask him. It's the only thing I've said in 20 minutes. "Yup everything's perfect" he says sarcastically and I frown.
"Tu penses que je suis stupide. Me mentir comme si je ne connaissais pas la vérité" I say, knowing he doesn't understand French. "What did you just say Athena" he asks, annoyed. (Translation- You think I'm stupid. Lying to me like I don't know the truth)
"Nothing" I mumble, loud enough so he can hear me. "Athena, tell me what you fucking said!" He yells. He slams his hand down on his desk, making a really loud sound. I flinch at the sound.
"I said your stupid!" I yell annoyed that he yelled at me. He stands up fast and walks over to me. "Excuse me" he says, really angry. "Sorry, I forgot you are deaf, let me say it louder for you. YOUR STUPID!!" I scream sitting up.
"Get. Out." He says, but I don't move. "Athena, get the fuck out!" He yells at me, making me flinch again. I get up and run out of his office. I go to my room and slam the door behind me.
I get changed into my pyjamas and start crying.

1 hour later
I'm still crying a bit when someone knocks on my door. I don't respond. A few seconds later I hear Dante. "Athena I know your in there. Can I please come in?" He asks calmly.
"I guess" I say, sniffling. He comes into my room, closing the door behind him. He sits down on my bed, not looking at me. "I'm sorry for yelling at you and for slamming my hand on my desk... I know it scared you.." he says.
"It didn't scare me.." I tell him, obviously lying. "Athena, I saw you flinch" he tells me making me sigh. "That doesn't mean anything" I say, sitting up in my bed. "Athena, please stop lying to me. I'm not that stupid" he says, making me laugh.
"What are you laughing about?" He asks finally looking at me, and finally smiling. "You said your NoT tHaT StUPid" I say mocking his voice, still laughing. He looks at me confused.
"You just admitted your stupid" I explain while laughing. He looks at me like I'm insane. Once I stop I stare at him while smiling. "What are you smiling for?" He asks me, also smiling.
"You look so cute when you smile" I tell him. "I'm not cute" he says, frowning. "Yes you are" I say getting up and walk into my bathroom, leaving the door open. "I am not" he groans walking to my bathroom, standing in the doorway.
I grab my toothbrush and get it ready. "You can deny it all you want but we both know you are so very cute" I tell me. I start brushing my teeth and he walks into my bathroom, standing behind me. "I'm not cute, I'm hot" he states, wrapping his arms around my waist.
He stares at me, in the mirror, over my shoulder. I finish brushing my teeth and just stand there. "Dante.. is something wrong?" I ask him, confused. I turn to face him. "Everything's fine" he says while looking down at me, keeping his arms around my waist.
"Can you please let me go?" I ask, looking up at him. "No I don't really want to" he says, like he's a child. I laugh at him. "Dante you have to go deal with whatever that call was about" I tell him. "No I told them that I'm busy" he tells me, smiling.
"And what are you busy with?" I ask. "You" he tells me, making me blush. "Your putting off work for me?" I ask surprised. "I will always put you before work" he says, picking me up. "Dante, you never put off work for anyone what's going on?" I ask.
"Nothings going on, I promise. Now what do you want to do" he asks me, carrying me out of my room. "Will you come train with me? I don't wanna go without you" I explain. Instead of responding he carries me down to the training room.
He puts me down and wraps his arms around my waist again. "What do-" Dante starts to talk but gets cut off by a random group of men. "She's hot" one of them says. "Yeah she is. Can I have her after your done with her Dante" another one says.
"I call her after you" someone yells. 3 guys start arguing about who gets me. "All of you shut the fuck up!" Dante yells making them all stop talking. "All 3 of you, my office, NOW" he says and they all run out of the training room.
"Your coming with me. I don't want to leave you down here alone" Dante tells me and I nod. Dante holds my hand and we walk to his office. When we get to his office I see all 3 guys sitting in front of Dante's desk.
Dante doesn't let go of my hand, instead he brings me behind his desk and sits down. He pulls me onto his lap. "Luca, Matteo, Lorenzo, You will say sorry to la mia ragazza and explain why you thought what you all said was ok!" He says, raising his voice. The anger in his voice makes me flinch a bit. (Translation- my girlfriend)
Dante notices this and rubs my thigh. "I am very sorry ma'am" Luca says. "I apologize for what I said ma'am" Lorenzo says. "Well I'm not sorry for what I said bitch" Matteo says, surprising all of us.
"Je ne suis pas la garce ici" I mumble. "She's French?! Your dating a fucking French bitch?!" Matteo yells, getting up. "Matteo! Sit the fuck down before I shoot you!" Dante yells and I turn to look at him. "Stop yelling, it hurts my head" I tell him. (Translation- I'm not the bitch here)
"I'm sorry" Dante says, guilt in his voice. "Lorenzo, Luca, you can both go. Matteo sit the fuck down" he says. Matteo groans and sits down while Luca and Lorenzo leave. "Matteo, I have already gone through this today. Just because she speaks French doesn't mean she's a spy. Apologize to her now" Dante says as calm as he possibly can.
"I'm sorry for saying I want you after Dante is done with you and for calling you a bitch" Matteo groans. "Leave" Dante says and Matteo walks out of his office. "Athena what's wrong?" He asks me.
"I'm tired" I tell him. He puts one arm under my legs, his other arm on my upper back and stands up. He carries me to his room and puts me down on his bed. He goes into his bathroom and comes out in black sweatpants and no shirt.
He lays down beside me. "Why am I in here?" I ask him. "Because I want you to be in here" he tells me. I turn away from him and close my eyes. I feel one of his arms on my waist, he moves me so my back is pressed up against his chest.
We both fall asleep in that position.
