A/N: Here we are, another Bo/Lo journey. Let's see where this goes.
Widowed businesswoman searching for live in nanny to care for her two children. Pay open for negotiation. Must have five years of past experience. Please contact me as soon as possible.
That was the ad that got me into this mess, not that I wasn't loving it already. The children that the woman wanted me to look after were nothing less than lovely. They were well mannered as their mother was and it seemed that they were a bit lonely. From what I understood their mother was some kind of scientist/doctor who owned half of the faculties in the city. She was rarely home and when she was home she was too tired to spend time with her two children. It was a sad thing really because both children were so intelligent and funny. Why wouldn't someone want to take at least a few hours off to get to know them more?
Little Charlotte Lewis was eight years old and looked exactly like her mother. Her long blonde curls bounced with every move she made and her brown eyes shown like stars in the sky. She was a very smart little girl and she saw more that what her mother thought she did. She reminded me of myself in some aspects which is why we got along right away. It made me happy to be able to connect with Charlie like I did.
Mr. Ethan Lewis was only six but he assured me that he was a big boy. Like his sister, Ethan favored their mother in looks but from the way he acted I could tell he probably favored his father in attitude. He would poke his lip out or be the most demanding little toddler I had ever met in my life. We had a rocky start to begin with. He insisted on trying to scare me way like the rest of his nanny's but I grew up with two brothers, nothing could scare me at this point. Once he realized this he actually would sit and talk to me about his little kid things and I would give him my undivided attention.
Last but not least, Lauren Lewis. Wow. There was so many things to say about my boss, some good and some not so good. When I first got this job I thought that this woman was going to be cold and distant like an iceberg or something, and for a while she was. She kept her distance but was always polite with me. Made sure I never got to close to her. I was okay with that for the most part. I was here for the children and no matter how stunning their mother was it was not my place to pursue her. Especially if she didn't seem interested, but the three years I have been here things have changed. Ms. Lewis has changed. I'm not sure what it was that was changing but she was more open, she smiled more and she even came home early to spend time with the children. I had wondered whether or not she had started dating but according to her best friend she hadn't and for some reason I felt relieved. I'm not sure. Seeing my boss around the house more than usual was slightly unsettling. When Lauren wasn't at home the children and I would lay around all day and watch cartoons until we absolutely had to start doing stuff. Their mother had them on a schedule and I thought that was ridiculous. I mean really, they are children. So we broke schedule most of the time but still managed to get everything done without a problem.
I loved the children like they were my own and even though I never saw myself with kids I was having a new perspective over it now. Ever since I started caring for Charlotte and Ethan Lauren pointed out they they seemed happier. More carefree. I didn't want to suggest that it was my doing but I think she knew. Hell, even she smiled and laughed more since I've been here.
Lauren and I had grown closer over the years. She opened up to me about her late husband and I did the same about my parents. It was strange to have a relationship such as ours but it worked. I wasn't sure when I fell in love with my boss but I know it was somewhere around the time I first saw her to now.
I couldn't decided for myself so...I'll let you decide.
