LOGINHow far can a simple job of a nanny can turn out to be unexpected? Taking a job as nanny was just a way for her to divert her mind from a major heart break, and unkowingly she steps in an all together different ambience.
View MoreDespite Vanessa's fears that the incident had certainly not contributed to making life here more pleasant, the next few days went smoothly and in the usual way.At first she wasn't sure what to do with David now, but apart from meals she hardly saw him. On the few occasions they met, he acted as he always did, and so their concerns gradually subsided.The following week, Jeremy reminded her of her promise to go out with him.In all the excitement she had totally forgotten about it, and she was now looking forward to a nice evening with him.They had arranged to meet in town, and after Vanessa had made herself carefully, she set off.Jeremy led them to a small restaurant, where they made themselves comfortable at one of the tables on the terrace.The food was excellent and, like that evening in the garden, Vanessa enjoyed his company.They talked cheerfully about God and the world, and at some point they came up with Danny."I'm
"Great Vanessa, now you've screwed it up for good, great achievement," she muttered dryly to herself when her anger was halfway down.She paced back and forth in her room nervously like a tiger in a cage.She was still mad at David for putting her in such a position. If he hadn't just run away, that wouldn't have happened. But it was also clear to her that she had gone decidedly too far with her appearance - no employer would put up with that.She wondered if she should apologize, but she still felt right about Danny, and she was sure that David would not accept an apology but would definitely kick her out, so she could save herself that.Without further ado she decided to get ahead of him and go by herself, that would probably save her another ugly scene and was probably the best for everyone.The money she had earned so far, after deducting all liabilities, would at least be enough for her to get a ticket home.She quickly got dressed and
The next afternoon, Vanessa gave in to Danny's urging to go to the park with him.As they passed the deliberate archway that Vanessa remembered all too clearly on the way there, their steps stopped.But after yesterday evening she felt so good today that she didn't want to let it spoil her mood, and she quickly followed Danny, who had already run far ahead of her again.Danny wasn't quite as cheerful today as usual. Contrary to his usual manner, he was pretty calm, and she had the feeling that he missed his father.She did her best to distract him. Together they romped across the meadow, played with the ball they had brought from home, swung and played a game at one of the chess tables.Even so, Danny kept getting quieter, and as evening was getting on anyway, Vanessa decided it was better to go home.When they got there, Jeremy was sitting on the couch flipping through a magazine."Hi, I thought I'd get on your nerves a little over d
It was still gray and cloudy outside, in keeping with Vanessa's mood.Tired and brooding, she sat on her bed, she would have preferred not to get up in the first place, but she knew that she had to sort it out somehow. The more she thought about it, the more she realized that she had reacted completely inappropriately to a harmless and well-meaning gesture. She had been scared, and David had meant nothing more than to reassure her, no more and no less.Of course he had noticed her reaction, understandable that he had let go of her immediately as if bitten by the tarantula. His face had spoken volumes, no wonder after throwing herself into his arms like that."Oh god, I acted like a pubescent teen," she thought, horrified. “What does he think of me now?” She wasgetting angry with herself.How could she be so stupid? How could she have misunderstood the helpfulness of an almost strange man so completely?Maybe it was because she f
