Blake's P.O.V
"WHY MELLISA?" I said raising my voice a bit louder than I should have.
"Because! It will give us a chance to be alone without worrying about him." She said yelling back.
"We Midas well leave him here then! She doesn't need to come on vacation with us! How on earth is that logical to you. She's a kid!" I said walking out the room.
"She's 18 Blake and Zach really likes her! It's not like she would even be in the way. She could sleep on the couch in our suite. Seriously Blake this is happening whether you want it to or not and you're asking her." She said following me.
"What? Why me. It's your idea!" I said realizing I just got bitched out by my wife.
"Because I said so. I don't know what you have against her but you need to let. It. Go!"
I do not understand why my wife is so obsessed with this little girl.
-----The next day-----
Sam is on her way now and my wife is already at work. I have work in an hour but before I go I have to ask her to come on this trip with us. This is so annoying because it's so unnecessary.
Not only that, but it's also going to cost me a fortune for the trip and having to pay for the babysitter. We are going to be gone a whole week.
I was just about to doze off on the couch when I heard the door bell ring. Great she's here. I really just don't want to do this.
When I get to the door she's standing here in ripped black jeans and a black sweater with white stripes on it. Her hair is in a messy bun and she has glasses on. I didn't know she wore glasses. It's super cute. I mean her whole outfit is.. Well it's nice.
She notices me just kinda staring at her so she speaks up. "Um are you gunna let me in?" She said pursing her lips. "Yea sorry I was just thinking... Um my bad" I said closing the door behind her as she walked in. Why is this so awkward.
"So you wanted to talk to me? Did your wife finally give the ok to fire me?" She said smirking as we moved to sit on the couch. I wish...
"No I ... Well she wanted me to ask you if you would come on vacation with us. Ya know... To watch Zach and stuff. And you would stay with us and everything." I said avoiding eye contact. I don't know why this is so weird for me.
"Where to?" She said furrowing her eyebrows. She looks cute when she does that. Geez Blake get it together.
I then snapped out of it realizing she's waiting for my answer. "Hawaii," I said looking up to see Zach coming down the stairs.
"This is going to be fun then haha" she said turning around, following my gaze.
"Hey buddy look whose here" I said gesturing towards Sam.
He came and sat on my lap and said hi to her.
"Hey Zach, how are you?" She said in the sweetest voice. Where did that come from. That's not the Sam I know.
I noticed Zach getting all giggly and happy. Now I see I'm the only one in this house not in favor of her.
"So you're in?" I said looking up at Sam who was smiling at Zach.
"Yea sure when is it?" She said focusing on me.
"we leave on Friday." I said realizing that only leaves her two days to pack for a week. Oh well, she can manage.
"Alright buddy, daddy has to go to work I'll see you when I get off okay?" I said standing up and kissing him on the temple.
"Okay bye dad!" He said sitting on the couch and turning on his video game.
I then looked at Sam who was looking at me. She then stood up and walked with me to the door. Strange.
"So, I'm guessing your wife came up with the idea of me going with you guys?" She said in a bit of a whisper.
"What makes you say that" I said reaching for the front door but stopping before turning the knob.
"Blake I'm not dumb you don't want me to go but she does so you guys can get some time to relax but she doesn't want him to stay home either." She said crossing her arms. Wow she's good.
"Yea well it's whatever I'll live" I said opening the door.
She then reached for the door and closed it. Which caused me to look at her like she's crazy.
"Um excuse me?" I said grabbing her wrist.
"No Blake, why do you have such a problem with me, seriously. Like I know we got off on the wrong foot. And Chris told me you think I have an Attitude problem. Which I don't. Like you came into this with a negative attitude so you got a negative result. Obviously if everyone else likes me. It's something you're doing, not me." She said folding her arms.
I have to admit I was a bit disappointed when she moved her arm from my grasp. But whatever. There she goes getting all smart on me again. In her cute fucking glasses and shit. Anyways...
"Okay look. I'm sorry. It's just, my wife got a babysitter for no reason. Well so I thought. Until she told me she randomly got a job. Which I was cool with. But she should have just told me about it. But I'm sorry okay. I need to go to work. I'll call you when I'm on my way home. I'll probably beat Mellisa home." I Said opening the door.
"Alright see you then" she said walking away from the door. And I couldn't help but stare for a sec and I noticed a small grin grow on my face. Fuck.
As I walked to my car I saw my neighbor outside standing on my lawn. "Um hey? What's up?" I said pausing.
"who was that?" Ms. Daphney said gesturing towards my front door.
"Um my babysitter? Why?" I said looking at her super side ways.
"I saw what you did" she said squinting her eyes.
"Ms Daphney please, what are you even talking about. I need to get to work." I said rubbing my head.
"I saw how you were looking at her. And how you looked at her when she walked away. If you cheat on your wife again you are really in for it. She should have never went back to you after the first time you did it." She said shaking her head.
"With all due respect what I do with my life isn't your business, also I have no idea what you are talking about I am 15 years older than that girl and she is just the babysitter. Also, please stay off my property, thanks." And with that I was off to work. Already sweating because that lady is crazy. She puts ideas in people's heads. She's the one that even told my wife about what happened last time...
That sent me into a flashback of the time I had sex with the house keeper. I'm not a man whore I was just horny and it was bad timing. I wasn't even supposed to be home. I honestly don't regret it. Or care. It's the past. And I still have my wife, the one I love, so it's whatever.
