Babysitting Chapter 8

TUESDAY EVENING: THE CABIN

Bosco and Nadia had just finished eating dinner and Nadia was doing up the dished in the kitchen, Bosco was outside trying to get a signal on his cell phone. He was trying to get through to the precinct to see if they had gotten any leads on the jag-off who whacked Faith at Nadia's apartment building yesterday.

"Finally" Bosco muttered when he finally got a signal down by the lake. He rang up the precinct.

"55 Precinct" Dispatch answered.

"This is officer Boscorelli I need to speak to Lieutenant Swersky" Bosco said.

"One moment officer" Dispatch said and put him on hold.

He waited for about 5 minutes before Swersky finally picked up the line.

"Sorry about that Bosco, Sully and Davis were filling me in on what Roberts had to say" Swersky told him.

"That's ok boss, anything new?" He asked.

"No, he is still stating that he is innocent and has no idea what we are talking about" Swersky said.

"Typical" Bosco answered. "How about Faith, is she ok?" he asked.

"Yeah, she took today off, but she is fine, just a knot on her head" Swersky added.

"That's good" Bosco said. "I'll give her a call later and check on her myself"

"How is Nadia coping up there?" Swersky asked.

"Seems to be ok, best to be expected, I think her mind is still reeling from everything that has happened to her" Bosco said almost sympathetically.

"Well give her my best, and if anything new comes up I will give you a call" Swersky said.

"Ok lieu I will" Bosco said and ended the call. Bosco started back into the cabin to check and see what Nadia was up too. That is when he noticed the sky, it was pitch black and the clouds were moving in all different directions. "Great" he thought "Now I have to deal with a storm out in the middle of nowhere"

He got back into the cabin just as the rain started to pour down, thunder and lightening soon following. He looked up at Nadia who was just coming out of the kitchen.

"Looks like were going to get quite a storm" he said to her.

"Well I better get some candles" she stated. "Every time there is a storm around here the power goes out. The lines out here are very old" she said as she headed to the utility closet.

"Great" Bosco said. He was not a big fan of the dark.

Just as Nadia was bringing out the candles from the utility closet the lights started to flicker and then they went out completely, leaving complete darkness around them.

"Nadia where are you?" Bosco asked.

"In the doorway in the kitchen" she yelled back

"Don't move I will come to you" he said

Bosco moved around the living room slowly, he wasn't familiar with the layout of the room and was bumping into just about everything. Finally a bolt of lightening shined through the living room window and he saw where he was at. He made his way to Nadia, but just as he was getting to her he tripped on a cord and fell onto her. Knocking them both down. His weight had her pinned to the floor.

"Shit" he yelled "are you alright?" he asked without getting off of her.

"Yeah" she said "I think so"

Just as she said that another bolt of lightening lit up the room and he could see into her eyes, and realized that she was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. This made for a very uncomfortable moment for him and her, because she saw the look in his eyes that had mirrored her own.

"Ummm, well did you get the candles" he said a little nervously as he slid his body off of hers.

"Yeah, do you have a lighter on you" she asked quietly afraid of her own voice.

"Yeah" he said while fidgeting into his pocket to retrieve his lighter. "Here ya go"

He went to hand it to her and there hands brushed together for a brief moment. Causing him to inhale loudly.

The sound of him made Nadia go weak in the knees. She knew she was attracted to him, but all of a sudden it was taking everything in her to keep her composure and not act on her feelings.

She took the lighter from him and quickly lit the candle she had in her hand. That didn't help her feeling of weakness, because as she looked up at him the flicker of the candle made his blue eyes dance.

She looked away quickly so that he couldn't see her own eyes, for fear they would give away how she was feeling about him. She couldn't believe it herself. She wanted to hate him, but all she could feel right now was a burning sensation of want.

Bosco was having the same problem as Nadia, he hadn't felt this drawn to a woman in a long time. He had to remind himself that he was on the job, here to protect her, not seduce her. Besides she was way out of his league, he told himself.

To break the tension between them, he took the candles from her and started lighting them and putting them all over the cabin. He figured the more light around them the better. After he had them all lit he decided to sit down in the living room and try to call Faith and check on her, and keep his mind off of the beautiful woman around him.

Nadia went into the dining area to work on some sketches. Her spring line was due in a couple of weeks and she had a lot to get done. She forced herself to concentrate on her work. She started sketching by candle light and forced all other thoughts out of her head.

Bosco tried but couldn't get a signal on his cell phone to call Faith. He thought of going outside onto the porch to call, but the storm was still going strong and if he did get through she probably wouldn't be able to hear him through the wind and thunder. He gave up on that idea and decided to lay on the couch and take a nap. Unfortunately that wasn't an easy task either, every time he closed his eyes all he could see was Nadia her beautiful eyes, mouth, body. He finally dosed but his dreams were haunted with visions of her.

Nadia glanced up from her work and looked over at him, he was sleeping, with a small smile on his face. The candle that sat on the table next to him flickering enhancing his amazing good looks. She looked away with a smile on her face. "Your crazy" she said to herself. "He's not interested in me, I'm just a job to him" she sighed. She looked over at him one more time. "I wonder who he is dreaming about, who ever she is she sure is making him smile" she sighed again.

Just as she was about to look away from him, he rolled over on the couch and said her name very quietly, but she heard him as plain as if he had been talking right to her. Her eyes went wide. "No" she thought, she must have heard him wrong. Then she heard it again. She wasn't sure what she should do. Part of her wanted to act on it and go to him. Then the rational part of her was saying no, that he was only dreaming and would probably laugh at her for assuming he wanted her.

Then she heard her name again, this time almost as if she were in a trance, she got up from the table and found herself standing over him reaching down toward his face.......
