THE NANNY #BILLIONAIRE WIVES 1

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO: THE PROPOSITION

Dee's POV....

I anxiously sat, tapping my feet on the carpeted floor as I waited for him to tell me what it was he wanted to say. He must have noticed because he took my hand in his, his thumb rubbing slow circles at the back of my hand,which surprisingly calmed my nerves.

"No need to be nervous sweetie. I just want us to talk about what we will do from here on hence forth, especially concerning the news we got." He said smiling sweetly at me, catching me off guard by how handsome he looked when he smiled. In fact all I could think was he should smile more often.
"Look," I began," I understand if you have your doubts about this baby being yours, seeing as I opened my legs for you so easily but I assure you that I haven't slept with anyone else apart from you..."
"I have no doubt that the baby is mine..." He said trying to interrupt me but as usual, when am nervous I was on a rant roll.
"And I know that you think this will break whatever plans you had with your fiancé but I assure you I'll stay out of your lives. But if you still want to be a part of our lives I won't stop you." I said, finally speaking my doubts.
The room was silent for a while that I thought he had left. He stood and came towards me slowly as if he was scared I'd run. I didn't even notice when I had stood or how I had gotten to stand next to his window.
"Are you finished talking? Cause I have a lot to say." He began still walking towards me.
"First of all, like I said before, I have no doubt that the child is mine. So you have no reason to be scared that I will doubt it. I mean if you were a whore, then you wouldn't have been a virgin that long...Two," he continued, this time wrapping his arms around my waist,pulling me to him,"You are a part of this family. Everyone already considers you family. And now that you are carrying my blood, it cements everything. You are a part of our lives just as we are a part of yours." By the time he was done talking, his head was leaning on to mine. I felt my heart beat pound faster but unlike before, it was because of excitement. Being this close to him and breathing in his scent both excited and calmed my nerves.
"Now that that's out of the way, I wanted to discuss our way forward from here henceforth." He continued raising his head to look into my eyes, his arms still around me, holding me in place.
"I honestly don't know what to do. I've never been in this position before." I told him honestly to which he smiled, seemingly pleases with my response.
"Me neither. I mean I've been in a similar position but not under this circumstances. Anyway, I need you to keep an open mind about what am about to suggest." He started. An open mind? What the hell was he about to suggest?

Despite my reluctance, I nodded giving him the go ahead to suggest what he had in mind.

"Let's sit first." He suggested dragging me back to the couch,an action that only seemed to bring my nerves back to alert.
"Is it that bad that I need to sit down?" I asked him wearily. He chuckled as if my nervous question was an inside joke I didn't know about,which made me narrow my eyes at him, in an attempt to glare at him,which only made him chuckle again.
"None of that Mí alma...you shouldn't be on your feet for too long." He replied which made sense. After all am in a fragile state apparently.
Once we were seated comfortably, he took my hand in his then cleared his throat.
"I know we haven't exactly been on the best of terms and am aware that am responsible for the blurred lines..."he started and I nodded with a smirk. Its true he played a major role at being a stubborn ass disrupting whatever this was between us.
"But...am willing to try if you are. That is...no pressure." He said a bit nervous at the end.
I liked that I made him nervous. It gave me some sort of power I never knew I had but as much as I wanted to busk in the little power and frustrate him a bit, I was still curious about what he had in mind.
"I don't mind trying. After all we are going to have to co parent." I said with a shrug.
"Great!" He exclaimed excited and I loved how the smile lit his face up. It made him look his age, if not a few years younger. I smiled back and was about to say something but he cut me off before I could even blurt out what I wanted to say.
"So...I was thinking, since the doctor said you should rest up considering your fragile condition at the moment, it would be great for you to take a couple of days off and relax." He said.
"Yeah. I was already planning on telling my boss to give me some days off." I told him.
"Well, I was...actually the kids and I wanted to know if you'd be willing to go to our private island,you know,to cool things off and get a break." He said.
"I'd love to but I have to get that leave first." I said reluctantly.
"Actually, don't get mad but I've already done that for you. So you don't need to worry about that. You just have to say yes." he said and as much as I hated the fact that he went behind my back to do it, he did ease the load of going to tell my boss what happened.
"Okay. I'll go. I just need to pack." I told him.
"Great. We will be leaving tomorrow evening so we can get there by morning the day after."
"Okay. Cool. I'll go right now,unless you have something else to say." I added getting up.
"Actually, would it be better if you came here by today evening? It would be much more convenient if we all went together." He suggested and I nodded.
"Great. I'll drop you then. I don't want you carrying anything heavy." He said getting up.

We walked down together and I waited outside for him to get his keys before we left together.

The whole ride to my apartment was quiet, with music from the radio playing in the background. It wasn't an awkward silence but for the first time in a while we were just comfortable around each other.

He parked outside and after locking the doors, we both walked to my flat and got in.

"Just have a sit and I'll be right back with my bags." I said going to my room.
"Okay. Just call me if you need help." He said getting comfortable on the couch and taking off his shoes, while turning on the TV. I smiled at how homey this all felt but quickly got rid of those thoughts before I got carried away again. After all, I didn't want to get my hopes up only to be disappointed again.

I sighed once I was in my room, my mind trying to comprehend all that had happened. It was too hard to take in especially with everything happening too fast.

With one last sigh and silent prayer, I got to packing. Let's hope am making the right decision.
