Thread: He's My Nanny (Ava & Pina Colada)

Davis rolled back and forth on the heels of his feet as he waited for the door to open. The commotion coming from the other side let him know they were there and he couldnt help but feel a shot of adrenaline course through his veins from the sudden nervousness. Kids he could handle but parentswell the parents were another story. A million different scenarios of who hed be facing went through his mind as Miss. Beaumont opened the door but none of them matched up with the woman standing in front of him. She was far from old and seemed to be able to hold her own with who he assumed was her son. It seemed both of them were a surprise to one another. Nevertheless he plastered a friendly smile on his face, nodding. One in the same. Im Davis McDonnell. His attention turned to little Jeremy as he squirmed in his mothers arms. It was interesting how boys reacted when there was another male around, an adult one at that. Davis was pretty sure he was fine being at him mothers hip before the door opened. Now he wanted to be a big cowboy, Davis couldnt say hed been any different as a kid. His smile widened as Jeremy made his way down the hall and up to his room like hed been told before following Gabrielle into her home. Hes got a lot of energy. Her comment on his clothes had him shrugging while mentally giving himself a pat on the back for ignoring Andreas comment. Simple is the only way to go with kids. Being dirty is second nature to them for some reason. I think they take pride in it. Taking the seat offered, he took a quick look around the room, noticing that the lady of the house seemed to be a minimalist at heart. She didnt have much in the way of furniture but it worked and made the room look bigger. At the very least, it allowed Jeremy the room the play. It seemed like a family home rather than just some place they happened to live in but there was something a little different about it and he couldn't quite put his finger on it. The tone of Gabrielles voice had his eyes focusing in on her as he leaned forward until his elbows were on his knee with hands clasped. He hadnt be prepared for everything she said in those few seconds and it took him a second to register. He knew the job wasnt just babysitting but being a live in never crossed his mind. He could do a 16 hour job but a 24 hour one was something entirely different. Not only that, he wouldnt just be living with Jeremy, his mother was there too. And thered be rules hed have to deal with. He was still a 20 year old guy who had needs at the end of the day. Clearing his throat which suddenly felt tight, he sat back and pursed his lips. Well I can tell you now that your son will have my undivided attention while Im here. I have two younger brothers and a sister that I took care of for a good chunk of my life so no worries there. A small voice from behind had Davis turning to find a round face looking down at them in curiosity and he gave the boy a small wave before turning back around. He scratched the back of his neck in thought before finishing. Honestly though, I think it would be better if I came in the morning and left at night. At least for now and somewhere along the way we can see if my living here works. As you said, you werent exactly expecting a guy to fill this position and Id want us to be comfortable with each other before we made that decision. It would suck to have to move all my crap out after a week because you hated me. Not that he had much but that wasnt the point. He took a deep breath and opened his hands. So.if that works for you then youve found yourself a new nanny.
