A/N: 97 percent of you guys asked for more Elliot and Cadie, so this chapter will give you an update on their relationship and it's also a proper introduction for Cadie who only had a few mentions so far... more of Christian and Ana will follow in the next chapter which will be up early next week...
Elliot
I cannot believe I was stupid enough to have sex with Cadie. Yes, she is gorgeous, sweet, and fits my type perfectly, but she is also only twenty years old and my children's nanny. Damn it, I can't believe I have gotten myself into a situation like this. The last thing on earth I need right now is to find a new nanny, but since I decided to let my dick make my decisions for me last night, I might as well have to do just that.
When I arrive at my parent's place I find them having breakfast with my kids.
„Good morning, darling, when is Cadie coming, your Dad and I have to leave in thirty minutes." My mom says.
„I'm not sure, let me change real quick and then I call her." I mutter, and run upstairs to my bedroom, she is either still in bed or she was upset by waking up alone and has left. Right now, I don't know which one I prefer, because option A means I have to somehow explain this to her when I can't even explain it to myself without sounding like a douche or B I have to find a new nanny right away and will probably never hear from her again.
Well, it's time to face the music, so I open the door to my bedroom and look at the sleeping girl in my bed. Her hair is a mess of honey blonde curls, her face relaxed in her sleep, her lips slightly parted and then my gaze goes further down to her perfect tits and flat stomach that have been exposed by the sheet which is only covering her lower half and damn she has nice tits... no, no Elliot, you will not even think about it!
Deciding that I need to do something I step closer to the bed and grab the sheet to cover her up, but the movement wakes her up and she blinks at me and smiles. Fuck, her eyes are amazing, they look like melted gold. Shit, don't look at her just don't look!
„Why are you up already?" She asks sleepily and I have no idea what to say... those eyes sparkling at me... he perfect tits... damn it.
„So, you don't want to talk at all?" She smiles and reaches up to kiss me.
When I finally get any brain function back fifteen minutes have past and she is in my arms in bed and we are both enjoying the afterglow of what has just happened between us. Fuck, this is a disaster, I need to do something, handle this situation... but she is just so beautiful. I reach over to push a loose curl from her face but she suddenly grabs my wrist and looks at my watch in horror.
„Oh my god, why didn't you tell me how late it is... I need to get Ava ready for pre-school." She calls out, jumps out off the bed and runs into the bathroom. I hear the shower, then the flush of the toilet and then the sink all in under four minutes and then she runs back into the room, drops the towel and jumps into her clothes which are scattered all over the floor.
„Sorry, I have to run and shouldn't you be at work too?" She asks kisses me and is out the door. Fuck, I did it again.
Because I'm now being late for work too, I hurry the fuck up, run downstairs only find my Dad giving me a very disapproving look.
„What?"
„Well, I saw Cadie coming from upstairs and her car was still here this morning when I went to go for my morning walk. Do you think this is right?" He asks and I roll my eyes.
„Can we not discuss this now, I don't want her to hear it!"
„She is already gone, driving Ava to her school and taking the younger ones to the park."
„Well, great, I have to get to work. I'm sorry, Dad." I mutter and leave too. Hell, I don't even know how to explain this to myself and I'm too fucking old for my Dad to lecture me about who I am currently fucking.
A week later I'm at a loss. I have tried to talk to Cadie every time I have seen her and it ended with us ending up in my bed each time. I just don't know how to fucking stop myself and it's slowly but surely getting on my nerves. I'm thirty-eight, I shouldn't act like a horny schoolboy just because Cadie is a gorgeous girl. But that is just what is happening.
And now things have gotten worse because I have decided to move back into my house with the kids and Cadie, who has her room here too. I don't even know why I made that decision... well I know exactly why, I didn't want to see my parents judge me with their looks anymore because it didn't take them long to figure out what I was doing.
So, now I'm in my study, supposed to work, but I find myself standing at the window watching Cadie in the backyard with Jamie kicking a ball around with him. This is just too much... to distract myself I call Christian and invite him with Ana to come over for a cookout tonight. Maybe I can keep them here for long enough so that Cadie is already in bed and cannot tempt me to fuck her again. Though I have to admit, that she really doesn't do anything to encourage me... except one could count her simply being hot as hell as encouraging me ... damn it, I have to make this right.
Cadie
After Jamie and Brianna are down for their nap and Ava is staying with her best friend from school until the early evening, whose mother will drop her off later, I decided to take a shower and maybe have a little nap too.
I know I should probably use the time to talk to Elliot, but it will most likely end up with us having sex again, which seems to be all we do lately when he is not trying to avoid me like the plague. The logical thing to do would be to tell him to fuck off and quit, but I just can't.
His children need stability in their life, I mean they are five, two and not even a year old but they already had six nanny's and a mother who couldn't care less about them and is now probably going to end up behind bars for the rest of her life, while their father not just has to look after them, but his company as well, so they usually only see him in the morning when they get up and again at night where they only have an hour or two together before it is their bed time.
When I took the job, it was supposed to be only for a few months until I could find a job in my chosen field, but then I realized what was going on here, how these poor children were fighting to get their mother's love and attention and she just ignored them. No matter if they cried or called out for her, she would never even listen to them, unless of course someone else was around and I had to hide in my room so she could act as mother of the year and thereby bring even more harm and hurt to her already confused children.
And the fighting, given they have waited to have their yelling matches until the kids were all in bed, but with the open floor plan of the house, their angry words could be heard everywhere. I was actually relieved when that horrible person was gone, knowing that in the long haul it would be best for her children not to grow up with a mother like that.
Well, and then there's Elliot. Right when I first saw him, I knew he was the most handsome man I had ever laid eyes on. But, he is my boss, married and I didn't want to become the stereotypical young, hot nanny who ends up fucking her boss. So, I tried to ignore the fact that he wasn't just good-looking, but also funny, caring and a great father to his kids, even with what little time he has to spend with them during the week, he makes up for it on the weekends always taking them on trips and adventures.
Still, I kept telling myself that he is married and my boss just so I wouldn't fall in love with him. Only, between the things we want and the things that actually happen are always the decisions we make. One week ago, I should have made the decision to turn around and leave when I realized that he was about to kiss me. But I didn't. I knew it wouldn't end with just a kiss because he is so easy to read... which is why I also know that every time he did approach me in the last seven days he didn't do it to get laid, he did it to tell me it won't happen again. And I know I'm being selfish by allowing for it to go on and that I should be more responsible, because this surely will end with me having to leave and the kids again will have to deal with someone else coming into their lives, but every time he pulls me into his arms I just can't help it.
I have wanted to fall in love or maybe have been in love with the idea of being in love for so long that I just don't want it to end. I don't want to wake up from my little dream reality in which he could actually have feelings for me too just to see that I was nothing but a distraction from everything that is going on in his life right now. And the worst part is I have no one I could ask for advice. My parents would freak out if they knew, my older brothers would kill Elliot with no questions asked and most of my friends are either in college or wouldn't understand my choices anyway. So, it's just me trying to be an adult, see what is the right thing to do and failing miserably.
While I am still in the shower trying to find a solution to my problems I hear the bathroom door open, but remain facing away from it. It can only be Elliot and I know the second I turn around his caveman tendencies will take over and we'll be having sex again. So, I continue to rinse my hair and just when I think that he must have gone the shower door opens and strong arms wrap themselves around me while his lips kiss a path from my shoulder to my ear before he spins me around and his lips are on mine. I know I shouldn't be doing this, that I should tell him to stop and leave this place and him behind me, but I just can't. I know right now, he doesn't have more to give and at this moment I don't care, I can regret this later.
Once we have left the shower I wrap myself in a towel and watch him do the same, but then he surprises me by pulling me into his arms again.
„I have invited my brother and sister in law over for a cookout... you can have the night off if you want to or join us."
„I don't want to interrupt your family time, I can go watch a movie or something." I offer.
„Or you can stay." He grins.
„Ok. Can I make some salads?"
„Perfect, laters." He grins, kisses me and leaves the bathroom.
Did he just ask me to spend time with him and his family? I'm so confused.
Elliot
When Ana and Christian arrive with Arielle, I can tell by the look on my brother's face that he is not happy with me and sure enough he asks to talk to me in my study after only two minutes after their arrival.
„What the hell is going on, Elliot, Mom told me she heard you bang the girl every night until you moved back home."
„I know." I reply not sure how he will take my resolution to the situation with Cadie.
„So, you are dating her now?"
„I don't know."
„Hell Elliot, what do you mean, you don't know?"
„Until this afternoon I tried to stay away, which isn't working because it always ends with me shoving my dick into her."
„Wow, charming aren't we?" He mutters.
„Look, I still don't believe that I'm ready to start anything right now, but I'm also not capable of staying away from her, which is why I have decided to see what will happen if I don't stay away."
„And she is ok with that?"
„I haven't talked to her about it yet." I confess and he laughs.
„You know what, this is your mess, but for the girl's sake, try and figure it out soon before she gets her hopes up." He says and I roll my eyes. I fucking know that I'm acting like a douche, but I just can't let her go.
Later we are all in the backyard and Ana has Cadie engaged in a seemingly casual conversation but I know my sister in law better, she wants all the details on her life because she thinks Cadie is the one for me.
„Are you from Seattle, Cadie?" She asks.
„No, my family is from Tacoma, Mrs. Grey."
„It's Ana. Does your family still live there?"
„My parents and some of my siblings."
„Oh, you have siblings?"
„Yes, I'm the youngest of thirteen." She says and I nearly choke on my beer.
„You have twelve older siblings?" I ask to confirm what I have just heard.
„Yes, my mom wanted a girl, so they kept going until I arrived."
„Wait, you have twelve older brothers?" Christian asks clearly amused and when she nods I swallow hard, fuck, I better make sure they never find out that I'm banging their baby sister. I have never shied away from a fight, but a dozen of angry brothers doesn't seem appealing or manageable for me.
„Let me guess, you don't want any kids at all after growing up with that many siblings." I joke.
„Actually, I want at least seven." She says and I gape at her.
„Seven kids?"
„Yes, but maybe I change my mind and have more after number seven has arrived." She says with a shrug and suddenly I hear myself say: „Well hell, I need to build a bigger house if you want that many kids."
For a second everyone is silent, Christian smirks at me, Ana looks confused and Cadie just gapes at me while I have no idea where the hell that came from and while I'm still trying to figure out what has possessed me to say that Cadie has recovered herself.
„Well, you do that, I'll get the salad." She says and gets up to walk inside.
„Just a tip, bro... you shouldn't build that house before you've figured out what you really want." Christian chuckles and I flip him off.
„Cadie says that is a bad, bad thing to do, Daddy... don't let her see it or she'll put you on the silent chair." Ava chimes in making even me laugh.
„I'll keep that in mind, sweetheart, and I'm sorry I did that in front of you, it's not a nice thing to do." I explain to her and soon Cadie returns with the salads.
„Did one of your brothers attend Harvard, Cadie?" Christian asks motioning to the oversized Harvard sweater she is wearing.
„No, that's mine, I got in freshman year." She says and now I'm intrigued.
„You mean freshman year of High School?"
„No, my freshman year at Harvard, I have made my degree in education at the Harvard School of Education last year." She explains.
„Wait, you graduated from Harvard at nineteen?" I ask shocked, how do I not know this.
„Yes, I've graduated High School a month before I turned sixteen on top of my class and then applied at Harvard got accepted right away and made my degree a year early as well. But you should know that after all, I had to give you my resume when you hired me." She says.
„Kate did that and she never mentioned it, wait, why do you work as a nanny then?"
„Most schools felt uncomfortable to hire a teacher who is literally the same age as the students, which they didn't say directly, but I guess after I was told repeatedly to apply again in three or four years it was pretty obvious. My parents offered to buy me a place and give me money to live or travel, but that didn't feel right to me, so I decided to look for a job instead and found this one through the agency Mrs. Grey was using."
„Huh... so your parents are rich?" I ask and she snorts. „You could say that."
„What was your last name, Cadie?" Christian asks and looks intently at her.
„It's Danielson, Mr. Grey."
„As in Robert Danielson?" He follows up.
„That would be my Dad." She grins.
„Well, he certainly can afford to have that many children, I did business with him a number of times, impressive man." He says and she smiles obviously proud of her Dad.
I had no idea that she came from rich parents and she certainly isn't a typical rich kid or comes across that way.
„Elliot, is there something going on?" Ana asks when Cadie has excused herself for a moment and I try to avoid her gaze.
„Oh seriously, you should be ashamed of yourself." She says appalled and I look at her.
„How do you know?"
„Really, you might want to get some lessons in how to get a good poker face from Christian because you are literally an open book." She says annoyed and I smirk at her.
„Really, because right now I can't even figure out myself."
„Then maybe you should try to figure yourself out first before you go ahead and ruin something that has the potential to be great."
„Why are you so sure that she is right for me?" I ask now annoyed with her for being so sure about this when I have no idea how to do what's right.
„You'll figure it out eventually until then just please don't drive her away." She says and I give up, this is getting me nowhere... maybe I should ask Christian to give me the number of his shrink because at this point I'm willing to do anything to get my life back under control.
Just a quick heads up, I'm going to move the story forward a bit with the next chapter, it's just a short time jump, about three months, but it will bring updates on Flynn's trial, what is going to happen to Kate, Ana and Christian's move back home, more of Elliot and Cadie's story and of course we'll find out if Arielle is going to be a big sister soon ; )
