Thread: Trouble is her name (PatientOne x Squee)

RE Witty title here PatientOne x Squee Reaching the lounge chair, she kicked of her flip flops, not really caring which way they flew. For whatever reason she was feeling slightly annoyed today. It probably had something to do with the new babysitter. The fact that her father wouldn't allow her to get her own apartment was more then a little maddening. Mina had always dreamed of a place of her own. Some place small, and just hers. Gloria her mother didn't much care for this house now. Everything was outdated and if you took a closer look most of it was dingy. Gloria's days were either spent sleeping during the day in her room, or at the house bar. Mina spent a lot of her time hauling her own mother back to her bed. Her father did it when he was home, but for whatever reason he seemed to just ignore the behavior. Things had been this way since Mina was four. The loss of her infant brother had been pretty hard on her mother, and she just never seemed to snap out of it. Maybe this was the excuse that her father Rick used, every time he found her passed out on the bathroom floor. Her nanny still came to the house every now and then, she was more like a mother to the girl anyway. A life saver for Rick to be sure, if not for her he would never have become this successful. Flopping down onto the lounge chair, she turned up the volume on the IPod. Her foot tapped along with the beat. Oblivious to her father walking out to the pool area, and to the fact he had company. Her eyes closed, she was simply enjoying the sun that beat down on her already bronzed skin. She wouldn't lay out for too long, maybe fifteen minutes before jumping into the pool. The pool area looked more like a tropical oasis. Even the bottom had sand at the bottom and a bio filter kept everything fresh and clean. Small palm trees surrounded almost everything. If one didn't know better they would think they were in some hidden tropical pond. By chance Mina opened her eyes a little. They suddenly opened a little wider, when she realized he was trying to talk to her. Yanking the head phones down she smiled sweetly. Blinking quickly as her attention slid to the guest. Immediately she could tell this was the new baby sitter. It was suit that gave it away first, then the hair. Ex military, these guys were fun, all serious and stuffy. Her own eyes a much darker shade of blue, focused on his as well. Taking the offered hand, she let him help her stand. Well it was more..force him to help her stand, she was sure he just wanted a hand shake. Daddy, I didn't think our guest was going to show up until much later, she pretended to chastise him. Speaking now to her new body guard, I am sure he had a lot to say about me. I bet it was all horrid too, she smiled a little. Mina this is Mr. Relic, I know I don't need to remind you to show some respect, it wasn't posed as a question. While his daughter never really fessed up to chasing off the others, he knew full well what happened. I will leave you to get to know one another, I have a few phone calls to make before dinner. Leaning in his kissed her forehead gently, whispering hopefully low enough that Alex wouldn't hear. Don't chase this one off please, it just gets harder to find someone each time. With a smile and a nod, he headed towards his office. Leaning over slightly she took hold of her white silk robe. So...you're the new guy, slipping her arms into the sleeves, she left it open. Going in search of her stray flip flop. What horror stories have you been told so far, she asked glancing back at him with a mischievous smile.
