Chapter Two

Justin was in his new room, unpacking his few possessions onto the bed. The room was decorated in assorted pale blues with the bed in a darker shade. The blonde smiled slightly. It was a vast improvement over sleeping on his best friend, Daphne's, sofa.

Taking his time, he packed his clothes away and pulled out two photo frames from the bottom of his bag along with some of his art supplies.

Justin set the photos down on the little table next to the bed and took a step back to survey them.

One of the photos was of him and Daphne. It had been taken at their prom. They had gone together as best friends since neither of them had had a love interest. They were grinning at the camera, dressed in all their finery.

The other picture was of Justin and Molly, his sister. Their mom had taken it in the backyard at Molly's last birthday party. He missed her even though she annoyed him occasionally.

"Justin," Gus' shout broke his miserable thought.

Justin walked to the door and looked down the hallway to where Gus was standing at the top of the stairs.

"Yes, Gus?" the blonde asked glad to have a distraction of some kind.

"Can you come watch with me? Yellow su'marine is on," Gus pleaded with puppy dog eyes that no sane person could resist.

Justin smiled, "Sure, It's one of my favourite movies."

The pair walked downstairs and into the lounge where Gus waited for Justin to sit down before curling up next to the blonde practically in his lap.

He looked down at his young charge and teased, "You comfy there little man?"

Gus nodded his head briefly with his eyes staying glued to the T.V. screen as the movie began.

The two watched the movie, thoroughly enjoying it but unable to stay wake. Gus passed put due to the excitement of meeting his new nanny and Justin due to all the stress of the last week.


Brian stood in the doorway and gazed at the scene before him. Justin was lying with his head resting on his arm on the arm rest of the sofa. His other arm was curled around Gus. The little boy was pressed up against the blonde's side and one little hand was holding onto a fistful of shirt.

Brian sighed. He didn't want to wake them but dinner would be there soon and Gus would never get to bed if he continued sleeping. It was strange. His son usually took quite some time before warming up to someone, but Justin and Gus seemed to have clicked instantly. So far, from what he could see, the blonde would take care of his son and help alleviate Brian's worries.

The brunette walked to the sofa and decided to wake Justin first. He gently shook his shoulder.

"Justin, Justin time to wake up sleeping beauty," he couldn't resist teasing.

"Mmm…What?"

Blue eyes slowly drifted open, unfocused and confused before memory returned.

"Oh no. Mr. Kinney I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to fall asleep. It won't happen again. I promise."

"Easy, Justin and it's Brian. Mr Kinney makes me think of my father and I am definitely not him. You're still here with Gus and I'm sure you would have woken when you felt him moving. He can't get out the house so stop having a panic attack."

Justin smiled gently at his employer in gratitude. He had almost blown this and he hadn't even been there a day.

Brian returned the smile as the doorbell rang out.

Indicating his son, he asked, "Could you wake him while I get the food?"

Justin nodded his head and watched Brian walk out the room. He turned to the small, warm body pressed against him.

"Gus, Gus?" he whispered, stroking brunette hair so similar to his father's.

"Gus you gotta wake up. Dinner's here and I'm gonna eat yours."

"Wha'? Jus'n?" the little boy asked sleepily.

"Yeah, buddy. We gotta get up now."

"'K," Gus mumbled climbing off the sofa.

Justin yawned and stretched once off the sofa. He bent down and picked Gus up before walking in the direction of the dining room Brian had shown him earlier.

Brian looked up from setting the table as the two sleepy bodies walked in.

"Here, sit you two," he instructed pointing to their chairs.

"Wha' we eating, Daddy?" Gus queried.

"Chinese"

Brian then turned to Justin, realizing something, "I didn't check what you wanted. I just ordered a family meal. Hope that alright."

Justin nodded, "At this point, I'd eat nearly anything I'm so hungry."

"Why didn't you say something?"

"Didn't realise it until you mentioned food."

The ad-exec shook his head in amusement.

As they ate, Brian informed Justin of Gus' schedule. He was in bed by 7 at the very latest and usually up by 6:30 the next morning. Three mornings a week he went to a play group from 8 until 12. Brian gave Justin the keys to the spare car for his transport along with a petrol card and a credit card for any groceries he deemed necessary.

At that point Justin spoke up, "I can cook us dinner if you would like."

"Are you any good?" Brian asked, eyebrow quirked.

Justin met his challenging gaze, refusing to be intimidated, "Better."

The brunette's eyebrows went up at that before he smiled at the younger man. He liked Justin's spirit. At times he looked so defeated, that Brian just itched to find a way to bring the fire back in his eyes.

Gus yawned for the fifth time in as many minutes catching Justin's attention.

"Come on buddy. Bath and bed for you I think."

Brian agreed, "You've had a busy day Sonny boy. I'll come tuck you in, in a minute."

Brian sat at the table and watched Justin pick Gus up and head upstairs to the bathroom. The blonde had such an excellent ass. Justin would prove to be a challenge and it would complicate things to fuck Gus' nanny but for some reason he was drawn to the blonde and wanted him. His life had just gotten a hell of a lot more interesting.

Meanwhile, as Justin was bathing Gus and getting him ready for bed his mind wondered to his new boss. The man was gorgeous. He was exactly the kind of man Justin had dreamed of having his first time with. Brian had that look about him. The one that simply screamed sex and confidence. It was a disaster. Justin could fall in love with Brian all too easily. He simply couldn't get involved with his boss, Gus' father, for fuck sake. The blonde knew he was heading into hot water and resolved to try and put as much distance between him and Brian as possible, while still living in the same house and down the hall from each other.
