Love is in the Air

Chapter 5

Paige POV

I walked back to Sara's room and we watched the rest of the movie. She fell asleep and I walked to the front door. The Chauffeur would usually give me a ride home because it was usually pretty late when I left. But he wasn't outside today. Oh well I guess I was walking. I headed down to the gate when I heard someone calling me. "Paige!" I turned around and saw Ethan running towards me. "Charlie had to go home. I'll take you today." He said.

"Oh no, that's not necessary sir. I can still catch the last bus" I said.

"What did I tell you to call me? And I'm not letting you go home this late. Come on" he said looking at me with stern look. I hesitated "that's an order" he said.

I half smiled and followed him to his car. I don't know anything about cars but he had a really nice red car. He opened the passenger seat for me "thank you" I blushed. I'm glad it was dark outside. I went inside and bucked my seat belt.

He asked for my address and he put it in the GPS. "So when where you and Sara planning on going to this theme park?" He asked as he drove. It was late so the streets where pretty empty.

"Well we wanted to go this weekend." I said.

"Unfortunately, I already have plans for the weekend. Wait you don't work on the weekends, why would you want to go if you don't have to work?"

"It's not about work. I genuinely like spending time with Sara. She's the sweetest girl I've ever met. She kind of like the sister I never had" I smiled and looked out the window.

"Once again you amaze me." He said.

"I do?" I asked surprised looking at him. Boy he was definitely a handsome fella.

"Yes, you do. In the past year Sara has had 8 nanny's, none of them have ever expressed themselves this way about Sara" he said.

"Well I know I'm Sara's nanny, but I  honestly don't see her as just some kid. Sara is a special little girl" I said.

"I know she is, I just wish I could connect with her again" he said looking a bit sad.

"Talk to her. She misses you too. You two grew apart. Now it's time for you guys to get back together." I said. He turned to me a smiled and I smiled back and felt like I was melting on the inside. He has the nicest smile.

Time literally flew by. "We're here. Wait are you sure this is it? This part of town is..."

"Yes I live here. Up in that building. Thank you for driving me home Ethan. Drive back safely" I said getting out of the car and into the huge building in front of me. I know, this is a bad part of town. I can't afford anything else. I made it to the fourth floor and went inside the apartment. I headed to my room and saw lily asleep.

I took a shower and got into bed. I fell asleep thinking about Ethan Anderson.

Ethans POV

My this girl was something else. I can tell her and Sara have a connection. I'm glad I could see Sara smile again.

I just dropped her off and I didn't like where she lives. This is such a sketchy part of town.

I arrived home and headed to my room, as I did I passed Sara's room and heard crying.

I ran inside and found Sara curled up in a ball and crying her eyes out. "Sara are you ok?" I asked running to her side.

"Where's Paige?" She asked crying.

"She's gone. She went home." I responded.

"I want Paige. Why can't she always be here?" She said crying. Seeing her like this broke my heart. It brought back memories of when mom and dad died.

"Paige has to go home. She'll be here tomorrow" I said rubbing her shoulder. "Tell me what happened? Did you have a nightmare?" I asked.

"Yes. I had a dream that Paige left me. She left me just like mom and dad did." She said crying again.

"Sara, I know Paige wouldn't leave you, she told me so" I said.

"What if she does?" She asked crying.

"You will always have me Sara, but don't worry, Paige isn't going anywhere." I said.

"Do you promise" she said calming down.

"I promise" I said.

"Ok." She said getting under the blanket again.

"Goodnight Sara" i said.

"Goodnight" she said I could see her falling asleep again. I waited a bit to make sure she was ok and then I headed to my room. Oh what a day.

That night I fell asleep thinking about Paige.

I woke up the next morning and called Cali. We had made plans this weekend but I canceled. I wanted to go to the theme park with Sara and Paige. Cali is probably going to get mad but I'll deal with that later. I went to work smiling for once.

Today is going to be a good day.
