His Nanny

8. Interruptions

We stared at each other for a few seconds, our bodies pulling us closer together. Our lips were almost touching and I was just about to close my eyes when I heard foot steps enter the room.

"I can't sleep Fee-Fee."

Adam and I pulled apart quickly. What were we thinking? We can't kiss! He's got far too much on his plate right now and so have I!

"Oh sweetheart. What's wrong?" I made my way towards the little girl standing with a stuffed unicorn in her arms.

"I'm scared."

"Of what honey?" She shrugged her shoulders and I noticed Adam roll his eyes. He hated the shrugging but I found it cute.

"Are you scared of the dark?" She shook her head.

"Are you scared of noises?" She shook her head again. We could be here a while. Think, Sophia, Think.

"Are you scared of sleeping by yourself?" She nodded and I sighed in relief to have found the answer.

"Would you like me to lie with you until you fall asleep?" She nodded again and I quickly looked at Adam to check it was ok and he nodded to me gently.

I held her hand and led her back to her room. She was so small but so intelligent for her age.

She climbed into her side of the bed and I walked around the other. I pulled back the duvet and climbed in. As soon as I was in the bed she curled up by me and I started the circles on her back.

Her eyes closed and it wasn't long before I could hear the soft snores coming from her. Adam appeared in the door way and he smiled at me. He looked so strong and intimidating but I knew we was really just a softy on the inside.

I stayed there for a little bit longer and then motioned with my hand for him to come help me disentangle her from me. I noticed that his arm kept brushing underneath my chest and I wondered if he was doing it on purpose.

When I finally got out of bed, we crept out of the room and closed the door slightly, leaving a gap once again.

"Goodnight Adam."

He looked slightly disappointed but masked his face quickly.

"Goodnight love."

Love. Did he just call me love?

I try my best not to ponder over it for too long and instead just do what I should be doing which was taking my tablets and going to bed.

I do the first and then remember I can't go to bed without knowing when I need to be up to go to the hospital.

I hold my head up high and start to walk back to his room to ask. Come on, you can do this. I knock softly, making sure I don't wake Elsie.

"Oh, Sophia. Is everything ok?"

My mind has gone completely blank. He has nothing on except for pyjama trousers and they hang very low. Oh that v line makes me shiver.

"Sophia? Is everything alright?" I can hear the amusement in his voice. I've just completely checked him out in front of him and I still haven't said a word.

The muscle on his chest is just perfect. He's so strong and lean but not in a dominating way. The things I would let him do to me with a body like that! Oh my god Sophia, stop!

"I just wanted to know what time I should set an alarm for in the morning."

He smiles at me. Finding the whole thing hilarious. He knows the affect he has on me and it's so not fair!
