Alessandro
(A mistake)
I angrily swiped the contents of my table to the floor. I made a mistake last night. A very nasty mistake.
I slept with my son’s nanny last night. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing. How ludicrous.
She acted civil and professional with me this morning. I was surprised. Last night was her first time and she did not let her emotions get the best of her.
She was very respectful this morning and if not for the fact that I noticed she did not look at my face but kept her gaze low, I would’ve said it was all a dream.
But I knew better.
The bloodstain was a glaring reminder, I was her first. She even walked with a little bit of difficulty. I messed up.
I rubbed my fingers on my temples, this was frustrating.
Amara walked in to clean up the mess I made. She looked so beautiful today as always.
Age gracefully kept her gaze on the floor, not giving me any attention. I didn’t mind today anyways, I had a lot on my mind.
I walked to the window to take a peek at Ms. Abbot. She held my son in her arms as she stared off into empty space. She sat on the floor. She looked lost in thought.
I knew what was on her mind. I couldn’t blame her. I also had a lot on my mind.
I don’t know how long I stood there staring at her but by the time I turned, Amara had already left. The whole place was as good as new.
I walked into my room to take a shower and prepare to head to the office.
I walked to my wardrobe from the bathroom as I picked out an outfit for the day.
I heard a knock on the door and my brows furrowed on their own cause I was not expecting anyone.
“Come in”. I said, folding my hands over my chest as I turned to face the intruder.
“Sir?”. Ms. Abbot’s soft voice came from the door.
“Anything you need Miss Abbot?”. I wanted to see how she’d react if I acted like last night did not happen.
“Matteo has been having frequent diarrhea lately, I wanted to ask your permission to take him to the pediatrician”.
She went straight to the point, no stuttering, no break in sentences and no mincing of words. I was impressed by her professionalism. It was impeccable, even if I stood naked before her except for the towel around my waist.
“How is he doing now?”. I was concerned for my son’s health.
“He’s asleep now sir”.
“You may take him to the hospital. Flynn will drive you”.
“Thank you sir”. She left immediately. No further conversation.
This girl was very interesting and a perfect master of confidentiality.

Victoria
I released the breath I held in for so long. That was very intense.
I try My best to act like last night did not happen and also like I was not affected by it.
That was a lie, I was shaking inside. I prayed he did not find out I was a virgin. That would be embarrassing.
I don’t know what came over me last night. I was blinded by his beauty. How the golden glow of the candle made his skin look flawless. How his shoulder length black hair and his stubble made him rugged and dashing.
It was all mind boggling, everything was hazy.
I was not okay. I had lost my virginity and it was to my boss. This was messed up.
I walked to Matteo’s room and I laid on the bed beside him. I did not lay him in his cot, I laid him down on the bed.
I watched his chest rise and fall as he slept peacefully while my mind was at a hundred places at a time.
I slept with his father. What have I done?
I stayed there till he awoke and I prepared him for our trip to the hospital.
I walked out of the house and into the awaiting car as Flynn held open the door for me. He closed the door after me and got into the driver’s seat.
“How’re you doing today Victoria?”. He asked as he looked at me through the mirror.
“I’m alright”. I blushed furiously, touching Matteo’s hair awkwardly.
“Uhmmm, there’s something I wanted to ask you”. He seemed nervous.
My hand ceased its actions mid way.
Did he know about me and Mr Rossi?.
“What is it?”. I was nervous.
“Are you free tomorrow night?”. I heaved a sigh of relief.
“Yes, I am”. My hands resumed their actions.
“Would you like to go out with me?”. He asked me.
I was over the moon. I blushed like a schoolgirl being asked out by her crush.
I liked Flynn, he seems nice. I’ve always liked him actually.
“I would like to go out with you”. I smiled while pushing the arising thoughts of Mr Rossi to the back. That meant nothing.
“See you tomorrow, my lady”. Flynn said, opening the door for me as we arrived at the hospital.
“Thank you”. I blushed.
“My pleasure”.
———-
Matteo’s diarrhea was caused by his new tooth. He was teething. He looked so cute now whenever he smiled.
They gave him drugs to help with the discomfort he was feeling and he seems more relaxed now.
Matteo was in my room with me. I placed him on the bed as I tried to pick out a suitable outfit for tonight.
Matteo was meant to help me decide which outfit looked better but it seems like he liked everything considering he clapped everytime I modeled a new outfit.
“Come on baby, help me out”. I was exhausted.
He looked up and smiled. How cute.
I just picked out the green spaghetti strap mini dress and black pumps. I loved something comfortable.
I let my hair down in light waves as it cascaded down my back.
I dusted my face with a light layer of makeup and coated my lips in light pink lip gloss.
I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked good.
It was night time but Matteo still was not asleep. I did not know what to do. I was running late.
I came up with the idea of leaving him with his father. I just prayed he would not fire me.
I picked Matteo up as I made my way to his office.
I knocked lightly on the door and awaited his response.
“Come in”. His deep voice came from inside.
I walked in while I propped Matteo up on my hip.
Mr Rossi looked at me with fury in his eyes. I don’t understand what I did wrong.
“Why are you dressed like that?”. He asked me rudely. Eyeing me from head to toe.
“I have a date tonight and I was hoping you could tuck matteo in tonight sir. You see, strangely he’s still awake till now”.
“A date with who?”. Why do you care, I thought.
“Flynn sir”.
He clenched his jaw and gave me a once over before he stood up. He walked towards me and took matteo from me without warning.
What was his problem?
“You may leave”. He ordered turning away from me and going to sit at his desk with Matteo’s back to his chest.
“Thank you sir”.
On my way out I bumped into a nearby table causing the contents to fall to the floor. I bent down to pick it up as I heard Mr Rossi curse under his breath.
“Leave! Ms Abbot, Amara will clean that up”.
“I’m sorry sir. Thank you”.
I carefully made my way out of the office but not before hearing him curse out.
“Fuck!”
I made my way back to my room to pick my purse and lock my door.
On my way out, I walked by Mr Rossi’s office when I heard his voice.
“Do not test my patience, wear something green, short and tight tonight”.
