Ok, heres a short chapter. I decided to start a new story but don't worry I'll keep updating on this one. This chapter totally sucks because i have been concentrating on my other story. sorry :(
The door bell rang repeatedly as the Goldsworthy's all slept soundly in their bed. Bryson was the first to get up. He had gotten up to go on his daily jog. On weekdays he would wake up at 6 but it was the weekend so he slept in till ten. He took a quick shower and putted on a pair of shorts leaving top-half of his body exposed. It was mid September and still mildly hot outside.
Bryson ran downstairs and opened a door to find a very ravishing woman staring at his chest. The woman was fairly tall despite her black leather kitten heel boots. She was wearing a simple grey dress paired with a lacy black cardigan. Her strawberry blonde hair hang in lose curls surrounded her blemish-free face. Her intense grey eyes stared curiously at Bryson.
The woman reached her hand out and shook Bryson's. "Hello, I'm Sophie Handling. You must be Bryan Goldsworthy."
"Bryson, it is." He said staring at her in awestruck. He was expecting a middle age woman who spoke with a European accent, not some hottie you would see on a Hooters poster.
"Oh, sorry. Bryson, I like. Do you mind helping me with my bags?"
"I don't."
"Great."
Bryson carried Sophie's bags up to the guest room. He then left her alone to unpack.
"Adam and Ana are coming over on wednesday. Their bringing the kids."
"That's good. It'll give you some time to catch up with him. You guys haven't seen each other in a long time." Clare said lounging on the couch watching Rachel Ray.
"Mrs. Goldsworthy, do you want me to get you a pillow?." Sophie asked Clare.
"Oh. Sophie, it's your first day. Just relax. You can start tomorrow." Clare said liking the sound of someone catering to her. It had been long time when it was just Eli and her, and everything revolve around her. Now, she had four kids, and one coming. Her children came first and there was nothing to do about it.
"Ok. Mrs. Goldsworthy. Thank you."
When Eli knew Sophie was upstairs he said "You can thank me now."
"For what?" Clare asked.
"For getting the perfect nanny."
"She is sweet. But look at her, she's gorgeous."
"And your point is?"
"Well, I just thought..."
"Clare?"
"You know, I just thought you got her for a certain reason."
"Are you saying I got her so I could cheat on you with her?" Eli said fuming.
"Eli, calm down. It was a stupid accusation."
"I can't even believe you would think...think about anything like that."
"Eli, I'm sorry."
"Just..ugh...I can't believe this." Eli grabbed his car keys and went to go put on his shoes.
Clare abruptly stood up and panicky said "Eli. Eli. Where are you going?"
"I just need to blow some steam off, Clare. Ok!"
May be it was the stress of his deadline for his book or the stress of soon having two babies in the house that made Eli's blood boil and get angry at every little thing. He didn't know for sure. But all he knew was he needed to just drive his old friend Morty and escape for a little while. Eli hadn't done this in a long time with Clare always being pregnant and the fear of leaving her alone. But now that they had a nanny he felt no guilt of abandonment. He put the key in the ignition and drove away from all his problems.
"I don't know Dr. Sandler. He's just always getting mad. Yeah. No. I can't get him to take the pills. He refuses too. Do you think I could schedule an appointment for tomorrow? Yeah, that's great. We'll be there at 5. Thanks. Bye." Clare hung up the phone and sighed.
She pulled the blanket off of her and closed her eyes trying to drift off asleep.
"Mommy?" Leon asked.
"Uh. What? Oh, hey Leon. What's wrong?"
"I'm just wondering where Dad is. He promised me he would play ball with me."
"Oh, honey. Daddy just went out to get a...to get supper. Why don't you go ask Bryson or Aria to play with you?" Clare said closing her eyes again.
"Fine." Leon stomped his way up the stairs to his sister's room.
"Leon, you got take a chance and hit the ball." Aria said lined up for another one of her famous pitches. She use to be very competitive with baseball but stopped a couple years back. Her pitch striked every batter out once in a game.
Aria whipped the baseball forward and watched as it collided with the bat sending it over her head and in to the bushes.
"Nice hit." A similar voice said. Both Aria and Leon turned around to see where the voice came from. It was Grayson, standing there in his varsity jacket and jeans.
"Hey, Grayson!"Aria beamed.
"Hey, Aria." He said smiling at her. He then turned to little Leon and gave him a fake smile. "Hey, Bud."
Leon glared at him. Grayson was just being nice because Aria was here. If Grayson had found Leon alone he would be on the ground now getting a beating.
"Well, I got hockey...so I got to go. See ya around." He said flirtatious ignoring Leon's presence.
"Bye Grayson."
"Ciao." Grayson said with a quick wave.
"He is so cute." Aria chimed and Leon rolled his eyes.
Sucked rite? Anyway i still appreciate your reviews! :)
