Delilah I sent Charlie home early, so there is more for me to do today. But it's no problem, thanks to the new member of the family. I thought as I looked at Emma and smiled. When Sebastian suddenly brought her home and announced that she would be living with us, I was shocked but pleased at the same time because I would have someone to talk to. Living alone in this huge house with three crying children is driving me up the wall! Emma seems to be very good at taking care of babies. It must be because she has her own kid. But she is so young...it was the first thing that came to my mind when she came with her five year old kid. The poor thing barely had time to grow up herself. "Are you sure this is okay for me to be here?" Emma said. She looked around and fidgeted. "Of course. I am glad you are here to keep me company." I smiled. The bookstore is nearly empty, so I can spend time getting to know my new sister-in-law. That's what I loved about owning a bookstore. I had free time
DelilahConfusion flickers in Emma's eyes."Huh? Me?" she asked."Don't be silly, Jonathan. Emma does not work here, so she can't help you find anything. If you need help, just ask me, and I'll direct you to the right place," I said curtly."Oh, but I was hoping Emma would..."I interrupt him before he finishes his sentence. This poor girl does not deserve this kind of harassment."Emma, why don't you check out the back of the store? There are some old magazines there. I think you'll find them very interesting. I need to talk to Jonathan for a moment," I asked her.Emma nodded as she understood, then walked away."What's your deal, Jon? Leave the poor girl alone," I said."Leave her alone? Why? Simon harassed my sister plenty, but I didn't get in the middle of it. Besides, I'm not even trying to harass Emma. I simply want to get to know her," Jon said."Simon harassed Olivia, so now you're going to harass Emma for revenge? That's not fair!" I protest."I'm not saying that at all. I do
Emma"That's amazing. I'm an aunt!" I exclaim as I look at the beautiful triplets. I am truly happy. My whole life, I thought I didn't have any family members other than my son and my mother. My mother never let me see any of my relatives as she cut ties with her own family."Yes, and guess who gets to babysit when Delilah and I have some alone time?" Sebastian chuckled and kissed Delilah on the cheek."Sebastian!" Delilah giggled. "We can't expect Emma to watch our children all the time!" she exclaimed.I smiled. "I'd love to babysit my nephews and niece." I held back my tears. I finally found a family that accepted and trusted me. I thought Sam and I would be alone forever, but now things have changed. It has been a few weeks since I moved in here and Delilah has done everything in her power to make me feel at home."Technically, I'm here because Sebastian asked me to be the nanny of your children, so I am supposed to be watching them," I said quietly. He offered to pay me, but I co
JonathanAm I going too far with this?Perhaps.But I couldn't stop thinking about this girl ever since I saw her the other day.Her sweet little round face, her kind eyes. This is the kind of woman I wanted to grow old with; have my children with.But judging from the look on her face, she didn't share the same sentiment as me."Hello. Remember me?" I say as she doesn't say a word."Hi. What are you doing here?" she asks me."I came here to eat, of course. It is a restaurant, isn't it?" I tilt my head."Yes, but...nevermind. Is it just you?" she quickly gets professional."Just me."I watch her walk away, and my cock stirs in my pants. She is average built, not skinny, a little thick but not overweight, with curves in all the right places. The things I would do to put my hands between those thighs..."Is this okay?" Her soft voice brings me back to reality."Perfect," I said and took off my suit jacket. I look around the shabby Diner. Normally, I would pick an upscale restaurant to d
EmmaI quickly shed my clothes and lie down in bed, feeling exhausted from today's work. Maybe I should quit my job. Delilah keeps telling me I don't need it anymore and that I'm wasting my time.That's true, I am supposed to be Sebastian's children's nanny anyway. That's the deal I made with him to get out of that horrible house. The restaurant job is just holding me back from it. I should be committing my time to my niece and nephews.I will talk to my manager first thing in the morning, I decide.It will be good for me. I won't have to be out in public too much since I'll be home most of the time.The thought of being home with my son gives me comfort. Also, the fact that I won't have to see strangers daily.People make me uncomfortable, especially men.I lay in bed, and my mind began to wander. I start to think about the times I was subject to unsolicited advances from men. It fills me with anxiety.No more after I quit tomorrow, I think, and it makes me happy.And if I'm not ther
DelilahI had a sneaky suspicion when Olivia called me to meet her for brunch.I figured it was about Emma and Jonathan, and I wasn't wrong.The first thing Olivia brings up during brunch is how Emma fascinated Jonathan."Olivia, nothing against Jonathan, but I don't think Emma is interested in him.""I know, but Jonathan insists on me trying to set him up with her. What's the deal with the girl? Is she really beautiful or something?" Olivia asks me."She is cute. And really shy. The complete opposite of your brother." I chuckle.Olivia smiles. "Strange. Jonathan isn't into meek, shy girls, so I wonder what caught his attention."I wonder the same thing. I don't know too much about Jonathan, but when I saw him with a date at parties, I noticed those women were quite different from Emma. So why is he hung up on Emma?Olivia leans in, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Tell me more about Emma.""She has a son. Which is great because I have a nephew!" I chirp.Olivia's eyebrows raised i
EmmaI can't believe I agreed to invite that man, Jonathan, to Samuel's birthday party!I feel a twinge of regret after making that decision, but at the same time, I feel a bit excited.But I still don't understand why a man like Jonathan would like me, a single mother who has to rely on her estranged brother to put a roof over her and her son's heads.As the day of the party draws closer, I try to push my doubts and insecurities to the back of my mind and focus on making the day special for my son. I spend hours decorating the house with Delilah and preparing food for the guests.Sebastian suggested that we hire a chef, but I wanted to cook for my own son.As I put the finishing touches on the decorations, I can feel my nerves starting to kick in. What if Jonathan doesn't show up? Or worse, what if he shows up, and everyone starts to gossip about him and me?No, I'm being silly."Are you okay, Emma?" Delilah asks me. "You look nervous.""I'm fine, Delilah," I reply with a smile. "Jus
JonathanI stare at the beautiful woman in front of me and smile. We are sitting on the terrace at a small cocktail table. She is holding the glass of wine I gave her earlier but barely drinking from it. I can see how nervous she is by the slight trembling of her hand. I'm afraid she could drop the glass any moment now!"Emma, relax," I say, but that seems to make her look at me with a terrified expression even more.I take a deep breath and try to think of something to say to ease her nerves. "You don't have to be so nervous around me, Emma. I'm just a regular guy, like anyone else."She looks at me with wide eyes as if surprised by my words. "But you're not just anyone else," she replies, her voice shaking slightly."Sure I am. Look, I even have a normal human hand." I smirk and take her hand in mine.As I hold her hand, I can feel it trembling slightly, and I know that she's still nervous. I give her hand a reassuring squeeze and say, "There's nothing to be afraid of, Emma. Just re
