FIFTEEN

Kamilla Lopez

— So how was it?

As I pass through the door, I already hear Dona Carolina's question, I turn my body with my back to the wood and face her, she has an anxious and worried look, I approach her and speak sighing full of emotions

— Sit down, that's a lot of information to take in.

We approached the couch and sat down.

— I'm working for a businessman, his name is Nick Ross.

Dona Carolina widened her eyes with the shocking news, she blinked her eyelids a few times and asked to be sure:

— That handsome businessman?

— Yes.

— I don't believe!

— Me either.

I'm still processing the information that I now work for Nick Ross.

— But are you sure it's him?

— Yes

— It's not an imitation, a clone or...

— Himself.

It was Nick Ross himself, since we met there was no mistaking him for anyone else, he exudes a power that no other even reaches his feet, a look of seduction and danger makes me nervous, even more so his double meaning words that make me euphoric. He already realized what causes me when I'm around him. Nick is very handsome, he owns a beauty that catches my attention, those blue eyes hypnotize and excite me, I have to forget these sensations, we are different people, we would never be together. Nick is very well known and especially in the media, for sure he has several women in his bed, every day a different woman, his games of seduction for him is just fun.

— Is he prettier in person?

— Miss Caroline! — I scolded her.

— What? I'm curious, can't I be curious?

— Y— yes...

— Then tell me.

— He's prettier in person.— smiles at her.

— When did you see him?

— Before you go home.

— Did you see the hottie a few minutes ago?

— Yes.

— Where?

— In the office.

— Oh my God! And how it was?

— intimidating, frightening...

— And why did he call you into the office?

— He warned me that there will be days when I will need to sleep at work.

I stare at his face, his mouth is slightly open.

— This is going to suck...

— Tripe?

— I won't explain it to you, I want to draw my own conclusions in the future.

— Nothing will happen.

— Never say never, Nick Ross and you are extremely handsome, both he and you are a temptation, and you will fall for it.

— I won't.

— Oh you will, he's an experienced man, he knows how to seduce a woman, I'm sure he makes you nervous.

After those words, Carolina got up from the sofa and went to her room, in a moment I did the same, I went into my room, put my purse on a chair and got rid of my clothes. After doing my hygiene and taking a shower, I return to the bedroom and change into a nightgown, lie down on the bed and turn off the lamp. Zeus this time won't sleep with me, but with Dona Carolina, I lay my head on the pillow in an attempt to sleep, I can't, my mind was too active thinking about those blue eyes.

I take my device and call Bianca, on the second ring she answers.

— Baby boo!

— I'm going to punch you. — threatened.

— Impossible, we're connected.

— Whatever, I have to tell you something.

— You have my attention.

— You don't know who my boss is!

— Tells everything, is he handsome?

— His name is Nick Ross.

There was a minute of silence on the line, I took my cell phone away from my ear and made sure the call hadn't been dropped.

— Baby Dragon? — I called.

— You are so unlucky. — I hear your laughter on the call.

— Yesterday we were talking about him, and now he's my boss.

— It's called Karma.

— You love to laugh at my misfortunes.

— But then.... How was the first day?

— It was quiet, I guess.

— Why?

— His son already considers me his mother.

— I wouldn't mind in your place, Nick Ross is a hunk of a man.

— You don't miss the chance.

— That man is a hottie, it won't take long for something to happen between you.

— I don't want to get involved with my boss.

— Not your mind, but your parakeet does.

— But this is...

— True? — she completes. — I know you're a virgin, but you're no saint, you're probably attracted to him.

— I agree that he is a very attractive man, but he is not the most handsome man in the world.

— I know... — she yawns into the call. — I'm going to sleep, I'm exhausted.

— See you tomorrow.

I ended the call and covered myself with the sheets on the bed, my thoughts returned to Nick, yes, he's very handsome, but I can't create any illusions, we're very different, and besides, I'm your son's nanny. Gradually sleep was consuming me, and soon I blacked out in a deep sleep.

The next morning, I got out of bed with my energy, invigorated by a good night's sleep. I went to the bathroom and took a shower, after finishing I went back to the bedroom and approached the wardrobe, from there I took a white knitted dress, the fabric did not press my body, which for me was satisfactory, it was accompanied by long sleeves reaching halfway up my arms, I felt lighter for the little clothes I'm wearing, just a bra and panty set. I decided to put on makeup, put on foundation and mascara, nothing exaggerated, a lip gloss on my lips.

I took my purse and left the room, as I approached the kitchen, Dona Carolina looked at me, her eyes looked at me in surprise, after all I don't usually wear dresses, much less put on makeup.

— Are you going to work yet?— she asked with a sly smile on her lips.

— In a few minutes.

— I see you've woken up in a good mood today, and with a different personality.

— Why do you think that?

— You never wear dresses, is that to make a good impression on Nick Ross?

— This has nothing to do with him.

I approach a fruit bowl and pick a bunch of grapes

— He is sure? Don't want to get his attention?

— I? No... I just decided to change it up a bit.

— I know. So you mean it has nothing to do with the handsome boss?

I feel my cheeks heat up with embarrassment, I turn my body towards the door, ready to wait for the car outside.

— Not even.

— There is... You've fallen for the handsome guy.

— That's all in your head, it's not real.

— I'm old and not crazy.

— It's all in your head! — I repeated before going through the door.

I go down the stairs and see the vehicle approaching, so the car stops and I get in without needing the driver's help, and he drives to Nick's property.
