Due to the load of work he had now, and his moving from the apartment he had been living since Jake was a baby to a new house, it wasn’t until a Thursday when Andy finally finished his research on the nanny Pam had recommended. He had talked to Jacob about his new job and explained to him how they had to spend a little less time together. Of course, Jacob wasn’t so thrill about it, but this job was to give them a better life and sacrifices had to be made. After picking up Jake at daycare at noon, and had lunch with his son, he called the infamous nanny.
Annie was at the coffee shop with Mark and Sharon, her classmates and close friends, working on a project to turn in later that evening. Annie had her nose stuck up in a book, when her phone rang.
“Who is it?”  Sharon asked.
“It probably is Daniel,” said Mark with a disgust face. “He calls her every time she is not in the apartment. Seriously honey, I don’t know how can you like him, he is kind of a jerk.”
“He has a big dick…” she joked. “Hello?” Annie put the phone in her ear.
“Hi! Is this Annie Johnson?”
“This is she, who is this?”
“This is Andy Barber, look I need someone to take care of my kid and I was wondering if you are available for an interview today at 2:30.”
“Sure! Where do you live?”
“Newton, I’ll text you the address.”
“Perfect, I’ll see you at 2:30 Mr. Barber.” Annie ended the call and smiled.
“Who is Mr. Barber?” Sharon asked.
“I don’t know, he said he needs a babysitter, so I have to meet him at his place.”
“Oh no! You can’t leave! We haven’t finished!” Mark said.
“Please! You know this is what I do, I have to go. He said it was just an interview.” she looked at her friends with puppy eyes. “Look I will finish my part and I promise I’ll send it to you before 7.”
“Fine!”  Mark told her rolling his eyes while Sharon laughed at his expression.
Annie grabbed her things and headed to her car when the phone dinged with a text with an address. Newton wasn’t far from Auburndale, where the university was; 10 minutes tops if there was traffic, which hardly ever happened. It was 2:20 when she arrived to the Barber’s house. It was a pretty white house with a red door, and a wide driveway.  She looked herself in the mirror of her black old Jetta, putting some lip-gloss on her lips, she was wearing a light pink sweater, jeans and her black Converse. She got out of the car and walked to the door, fixing her clothing and hair a little before knocking. The door was opened by a man with black pants and a white shirt, the sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. Annie was taken aback by his face, full beard, blue eyes and white skin, he had broad shoulders, and in general he seemed fit.
“Annie Johnson?” Andy looked at her, she was just an average girl, wavy light brown hair, tanned skin, she didn’t look skinny nor fat either, 5’4” perhaps.
“Excuse me?” Andy raised his eyebrow and cleared his throat. “I’m sorry, yes, I am Annie Johnson and I guess you are Mr. Barber.”
“Andy, you can call me Andy. Come in” Andy step aside for her to get in. “You’re early.”
“Yeah, sorry.” Annie could smell his cologne as she passed by him.  “Did I interrupt anything?”
“No, not really.” Andy looked at her up and down as she passed in front of him.
Annie looked at the living room and dining room and then followed Andy.  There were boxes everywhere. The big window on the dining room allowed her to see the backyard, with two swings, a slide and a trampoline.
“We just move in, sorry for the mess. Please, sit.”
“It’s ok Mr. Barber.” Annie sat around the dining table, some dirty plates where still there.
“Andy… so my friend Pam told me you were an excellent babysitter.”
“Pam?”
“Pam Duffy.”
“Oh right! Phoebe’s mom! I love that kid, she is very smart.”  Annie smiled at the thought of the child.
“Alright so, here’s the deal, I need a nanny from Monday to Thursday, from 3 to 7.”
“Wow! Hold on, I thought you needed a babysitter, you know for the day, or the weekend. I have never done something like this before.”
“I understand that but look I really need help, I got promoted, I’m the new ADA…”
“ADA?” She asked confused.
“Assistant District Attorney” She kept looking at him when she heard the answer, “I’m a lawyer.”
“Oh!” she blushed a little, “Sorry, I really didn’t know what it was.”
“Anyways, my son can’t be by himself all afternoon, nor be with me at the office; he is just 3, and I promise you he is very calm.” he looked at her with pleading eyes.
Annie looked at the men talking in front of her, he was really handsome, his teeth were perfect, and those rosy lips seems so soft.
“Miss Johnson?” His voice brought her back to reality. “Are you listening to what I’m saying?
“Just Annie, and you said over the phone this was just an interview.”
“Well, yes. I need to know more about you. As I told you my son Jake is only 3, and…
“You need to know I’m not crazy” She interrupted him. “It’s not my first interview.” Both smiled. “What do you want to know?”
“Just, tell me about you.” Andy said while leaning back on the chair and crossing his arms.
“That poor shirt must be suffering, it looks very tight around his arms.” Annie thought. “Alright, my name is Annabelle, Annie… I’m from Boston, I’m 21, I study education at Lasell, is my third year now… I have a brother back in Boston, he is an accountant, and he is married, they have a baby girl named Denisse. Ammm I like chocolate ice cream… I have a boyfriend, Daniel, he is majoring in criminal justice… my favorite Disney film is Aladdin,” Andy laughed.  “What? It’s a great movie! And ammm I’ve been a babysitter since high school. I think that’s it.”
“What about your parents?”
“Theirs names were Peter and Lisa, both were high school teachers, dad taught English and my mom taught sciences.”
“Were?”
“Ammm they died a little after I came to Lasell. Car accident, a drunk driver hit their car.”
“Sorry to hear that.”
“No problem. Sooooo… You actually need me 4 days?”
“Yes, you will be free on the weekends, I managed to convince my boss to let me work half the day on Fridays. I just need you to be with Jake, help him with the little homework they give him at daycare and make dinner.”
“Make dinner? Well… we may have a problem there, I don’t cook much, but I guess I can learn.”
“Great!” Andy clapped his hands. “Questions?”
“Yes, how much are you going to pay me?”
“Right! Excellent question.” Andy give her a toothy smile and winked at her. “20 bucks an hour.”
“Mr. Barber, you got yourself a nanny.” she extended her hand waiting for his handshake which Andy replied.
“I told you I’m Andy. Just Andy. Now if you excuse me, I will go for Jake to introduce you.”
Andy left and Annie let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding. The man was hot, like really hot! Whoever was married to him was a lucky lady. She was deep in her thoughts when Andy came back.
“Annie, this is my son Jake. Jake this is our new friend, Annie.”
Annie looked down to the kid behind Andy’s legs, Jake was a cute little boy, dark hair, pale skin, and very marked bags under his eyes, a little strange in a kid his age.
“Hi Jake, I’m Annie.” Jake looked at her with big eyes while he held his Captain America action figure against his chest. Annie kneeled to be eye level with him. “Do you like Captain America?” the boy smiled and nodded. “I like Loki you know.”
“He is ba’ guy.” Jake said walking towards Annie.
“I know, but superheroes need bad guys to fight with don’t you think?”
“Yes… Loki is good bad guy.”
“Yes, he is a gud ba’ guy.”
Andy was amazed with how good she was, she did nothing and the kid sat with her and showed her his toy. He looked at his watch.
“Damn,” he said under his breath. “Can you stay today? I’ll pay you. I’m already late.”
“Sure Mr. Barber.” Not even looking at him, her whole attention was on Jacob.
“Either you call me Andy or I will fire you.” Andy said while picking his briefcase.
“Andy it is… come on Jake say bye to dad.”
The boy stared at his dad, tears in his eyes and a trembling chin, and hugged his dad.
“Shhhh, Jake we talked about this, I have to go, and you can’t come with me. Annie will play with you ok? Be a good boy, for me.”
“Yes, daddy.” Jacob rubbed his eyes with his sleeve.
Annie carried Jake in her arms to the couch and walked Andy to the door.
“I feel terrible for this.”  Andy commented grabbing his keys.
“Don’t worry Mr… Andy, is normal. He’ll be fine.”
“Ok.” Andy gave a last look to his son sitting on the couch. “Ok… call if you need anything or an emergency, you already have my number.”
“I got this, go.” Andy walked away to his car. “Excuse me, Andy?” He turned and looked at her.  “When is your wife coming home?”
“I don’t have a wife.”

An hour had passed and Andy and Annie were still talking on the living room. Andy was a very intelligent man, he was a fan of the Red Soxs, just as Annie and her family were. They shared stories about their families going to Fenway Park and enjoyed some baseball games during the season.
“Do you really don’t like beer? Andy questioned her, after he went to grab another bottle from the fridge.
“No, sorry. Daniel also makes fun of me because of that… Have you ever arrested anyone?
“I’m a lawyer not a cop; but I could arrest you for not liking beer” Annie looked a little confused and kinda scare, Andy just laughed and touched his chest while doing so. It was the first time Annie saw him laughed like that, it was a nice laugh, infectious actually.
“I’m just joking, lawyers do that too, you know. We can’t be serious or in a bad mood all the time.” He took a sip of his beer, “In case you’re wondering, I don’t have a gun… nor handcuffs.” Andy smirked at her and she just blushed, heat going through her face, maybe it was the third glass of wine she was having.
“Where did you study law?”
“NYU”
“It was one of my options, but I couldn’t get in. At the end I choose the one closer home so my parents wouldn’t miss me that much.”
“I heard Lasell is a good school, and since you have a scholarship, I assumed you are a great student. Still, I can picture you in New York.”
“Wait, how do you know I have a scholarship?”
“Ammm, you told me the day we met.” Andy drank the rest of his beer.
“No, I didn’t.”
“Yes, you did.
“I’m sure I didn’t. How you know that?”
“If I tell you would you promise not to run away?
“…Ok”
“When Pam told me to hire you I kinda research you”
“YOU WHAT?!!!”
“I’m sorry, I wanted to see what kind of person you were, and I know it sounds creepy, but I really needed to know some stuff. Besides I could see you didn’t lie, and that made me feel certain that I could trust you with my child.”
Annie looked at Andy for a moment, and drank her wine. She couldn’t believe he would’ve done something like that, I mean he was a lawyer and work with the police so it kinda made sense, but still it was the first time something like that happened to her.
“Alright…Can I ask you some stuff?”
“What kind of stuff? Andy raised his eyebrow.
“Well apparently you know more about me than I know about you soooo, how old are you?”
“I’m 30”
“Na-ah! I thought you were older. Like 40.”
“Ouch,” Andy touched his chest acting hurt, “Don’t worry I get that a lot, it must be the beard.” He ran his right-hand through his beard, “Maybe I should shave.”
“No!” Annie answered way too quickly, “You look good like that, not all men can pull that look. It suits you.” Annie raised her hand and touched his cheek, Andy stared at her; he could smell the perfume on her wrist and feel the heat on his cheek. Annie moved her hand right away.
“I let it grow a year before I finish Law school, I thought I will look more professional. Wait here.” Andy stood up and went upstairs leaving Annie by herself in the living room. A minute later he came back with something in his hands.
“Look.”
Andy handed her an old photo album, inside there were pictures of him when he was younger.  He was shaved, and he was wearing normal clothes, jeans, t-shirts, and even cargo shorts. He looked very different to the man sitting in front of her. The guy in the pictures looked so relaxed and a lot less stressed.
“You look like a frat boy, and kind of a douchebag” Annie snorted.
“I wasn’t a douche, I hope” both smiled at each other.
“Right…” She raised her brow.
“I wasn’t, I’m always been a one woman’s man.”
“Do you ever dress like this anymore?” Annie was looking at a picture where he was wearing some green cargo shorts, an old t-shirt and a baseball cap.
“Well, I don’t wear those type of shorts anymore. I like to wear pretty much like now, sweatpants, a t-shirt, maybe a hoodie, it will be weird to be around the house on a suit 24/7. And sometimes I run or work out in the mornings, can’t wear a suit for that either.”
“You work out?”
“Yeah, in the guest room, I have some equipment there, have you not noticed?”
“I don’t snoop in your rooms Andy. I’ve just been in Jake’s room.”
“I don’t sleep with a suit either, sometimes I don’t wear anything” Annie eyed at him, Andy was completely red, “Shit, sorry, I mean… Maybe I should stop drinking, that was out of line, I’m really sorry.” He really didn’t know where that came from, he just kept talking until it was too late.
“No problem, sometimes I sleep like that too, mainly when me and Daniel… you know.” Andy swallowed hard, he blinked a couple of times while trying hard not to imagine her without clothing, he stared back at her and Annie turned her attention back to the pictures.
There were pictures of him when he was a kid, his mom was in some of those pictures; she was a beautiful woman and you could see how close they were. Annie was looking at one picture were Andy was with his mom and a birthday cake.
“She was a nurse,” Andy said out of nowhere, “we only had one another.”
“Just like you and Jake.” Annie smiled
“Hmmm I never thought about it, but yes, just like us.”
Annie kept looking at the pictures, in some of them Andy was drunk, you could notice because of his droopy eyes and flirty smile, she changed the page and there it was, a picture of Andy and the woman from the picture in Jake’s room. It was not the only picture of course, but one in particular caught her attention. They both looked young, Andy was holding her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, and she had her hands on her little bump, barely visible, but it was there. They seemed so happy.
“Andy,” Annie paused thinking of her next question, “You said you didn’t have a wife,” Andy knew she was about to ask him about Jake’s mom, and it wasn’t a lie Annie was dying to know about the woman in the picture, but she went in a different direction. “Do you have any more family?”
“No,” Andy sighed, “my dad wasn’t around when I was a kid, and my mom died when I was about to finish Law school, cancer.”
Annie gave him a sad smile and nodded.
“Why are you telling me all of this, and showed me this?” She said lifting the photo album.
“Well, you said it, I know more about you that you about me, so is only fair for you to know some things about my life, I guess.” He didn’t seem to convince but it was so easy to talk to her.
“Thank you.” She looked at the clock, “It’s late, I should go home.”
“I can drive you.” Andy offered.
“No, you have to stay, Jake could wake up. I’ll take an Uber.”
“Are you sure? I really don’t mind.”
“I’m sure, I can text you when I get home.”
“That will be nice, thank you.”
Annie stood up and felt a little light headed and stumble, Andy grabbed her arms and stopped her from falling.
“You ok?” she looked at him with hooded eyes.
“Yeah,” Annie stare at him, his eyelashes were so long, his eyes seem bluer this close, and she could see a layer of hair on his chest to the v cut on his t-shirt, Andy’s lips were slightly open, his heart racing at the closeness of her body “It was a bad idea to drink wine,” she took a deep breath, “Happens every time, I’ll be fine.”
“I think I should drive you.”
“No, no, stay, don’t worry about me.” She said taking her phone out.
5 minutes later the Uber came and Annie left the Barber’s house. By the time she arrived to the building where she lived it was almost midnight. She called for Daniel but there was no answer, meaning he was still out with his friends, like every Friday night. She changed her clothes and laid on the bed, making herself comfortable, to finally get some sleep. She was drifting off when her phone lit up.
“Are you home?” It was Andy, she smiled.
“Yes, sorry, I forgot to let you know. I’m too sleepy”
“You didn’t sleep on the Uber, did you?”
“I closed my eyes for a bit”
“That can be dangerous, but I’m glad you made it, I can sleep now.”
“hahaha, what would have happened if I hadn’t told you I was home safe?”
“Drive all the way to your house; or I will have dark circles under my eyes tomorrow.”
“Do you really know where I live?”
“It was in my report”
“I’m fine, you can rest now.”
“Good night. ”
“Good night, Andy.”
Annie let her phone on the nightstand while she looked at the ceiling smiling like a little school girl her heart pounding a little faster against her chest; and Andy was in his bathroom smiling at the last message she had send him. He could picture Annie answering him with her cute smile and bright honey eyes. He took a deep breath and thought about what he was feeling at the moment, it could be the beer talking but those butterflies in his stomach didn’t go away, and last time he felt them was when he met Laurie back in NYU. Just the thought of Laurie made his smile fade away. Andy washed his face and went straight to bed, he looked one last time to Annie’s text and then closed his eyes.

It was Friday, Andy picked Jake from day care and headed back home to have lunch. Andy heated up some of the leftovers they had from the meals Annie had prepared for them during the week.
“Dad…” Jake was biting his piece of chicken while he held it with his hands.
“Jake, use the fork.” The kid ignored him
“Is Annie coming?”
“Is Friday, she doesn’t come on Fridays, you know that.”
“But you say yesterday you calling her.”
“I know, but I don’t think she wants to talk to me.”
“Why?”
“We had a fight.”
“Why?”
“Ammm, I was angry, and she was upset and sometimes adults say things they don’t mean.”
“Why?”
“I… don’t know.”
“Mrs. Williams say we haf to learn to say soggy.”
“When did you become so clever?” Jake shrugged and kept eating his chicken. “Ok, after we finish our lunch we will go to her school, so I can talk to her.”
“Can she haf movie night wid us?”
“I’ll ask, but she might say no, and if she says no, you’ll have to come with me to the office, I have some things to do, ok?”
“Ok!”
After they finished their lunch, they left the house on their way to Lasell. Once they arrived, they started walking around not really knowing where to go.
“Hi, excuse me,” Andy stopped in front of a group of students. “I’m looking for…”
“Annie!” Jake told them, wide smile across his face.
“Sorry, I’m looking for the education building, you know where that is?”
“Yes, you walk behind this building, cross the gardens, turn to your left and then you’ll see it, is not that far.”
“Thank you, come on Jake.”
It was the last class of the day and Annie couldn’t stop thinking about Jake or his dad for that matter. Andy will definitely need another nanny, and she hoped he found one soon. Annie was looking at a blank point in the wall in front of her, while the professor explained the assignment for the weekend. The noises of the chairs and the movement of her classmates brought her back to reality.
“Wait… what did he say?” Annie asked to her friends.
“Darling, are you ok? You haven’t been paying attention all day.” Mark said
Sharon, Mark and Annie grabbed their things and walked out of the classroom to finally go home.
“No, I’m not.”
“Have you told Daniel you were fired?” Sharon asked.
“No, yesterday I came to the library until it was 7:10 for me to come back.”
“Honey, you have to tell him, he is gonna notice” Mark commented. “Or find another job.”
“You are the only person I know with balls that would yell to her boss.” Sharon Joked.
“You weren’t there! I was angry! I wasn’t thinking, and Jake was crying!
The three of them left the education building. They stood there talking about the assignment their last professor gave them, and commenting about the topic they were going to use.
“Oh my God! Look at that piece of candy standing under the three” Mark told their friends pointed with his noise to the right.
Annie turned only to see Andy with Jake staring at her. The little boy moving in his arms to be released. Jake jumped out of his dad’s arms. Andy was wearing a navy blue suit and he had his sunglasses on.
“That’s Andy.” Annie said nonchalantly without taking his eyes off of him.
“THAT’S YOUR BOSS?!” Both Sharon and Mark screamed.
“SHHHH!!!!”
“WOW! You said he was handsome, but not hottie-hot-fuck-me handsome. I would give him some.” Mark said licking his lips.
“Shut up!”
“Annie! Annie!” Jake ran to her arms and she picked him up and hugged him tight. “I missing you!”
“I missed you too” Annie kissed his cheek. “What are you doing here?”
“Daddy say we need to find you. Who are you?”
Jake stared at her friends and they smiled. They were so focused on the child they didn’t noticed Andy walked to where they were.
“Hey.”
“Hi, Andy.” There was a long silence before Annie put Jake down and Andy continued.
“Can we… Jake wants you to have movie night with us, if that’s ok with you.” Andy licked his lips “I mean I don’t know if you are busy, or if you have plans with your boyfriend…”
“She is totally free kind sir” Mark said.
“Totally.” Sharon repeated with a wide smile.
“But we have the assignment…” Annie began but Mark cut her off.
“Assignment? Oh no honey, you misheard the professor.”
“Alright.” Annie gave her friends funny looks. “I guess I’m free.”
“Yeah! Pizza! Pizza! Pizza! Jake was jumping up and down between her and Andy.
“Shall we?” Andy told her offering his arm.
“You go ahead, I need to tell them something.”
Andy hold Jake’s hand and walk to the right where they were standing. Annie turned and looked at their friends.
“Please, fuck the guy.” Mark told her “I will if you don’t”
“You two are crazy. He is my boss.”
“He fired you.” Sharon pointed.
“I have Daniel.”
“Your boss is worth like three Daniels, and I bet his dick is bigger.” Sharon joked.
“Hey, that’s mean!”
“And about the homework, you can send your part tomorrow or on Sunday.” Sharon said.
“Homework?” Annie told them. “I’m sorry but apparently I don’t have homework, you do.” Annie turned to leave. “And you better put my name on the paper, or I will murder you. Sharon take my car, I’ll pick it tomorrow.”
Annie gave her the key and ran towards Andy and Jake. They walked to the parking lot and climbed on the black Audi.
“So,” Andy began. “I have a meeting…”
“I knew there was a catch” Annie raised her eyebrow to him.
“As I was saying, this meeting won’t take long… I hope. You two can go home and play for a while. When I’m done, I’ll get the pizza and we’ll watch the movie. Deal?” Andy looked both Jake and Annie who nodded at the plan.
A couple of minutes later they arrived to the house. Andy left as soon as they climbed out the car. Jake wasn’t in the mood of doing anything, he said he wanted to lay down and stare at the ceiling, and they did, but it got boring after a couple of minutes.
“How about we play rock band?”
“What is that?” Jake asked with big eyes.
“I put some music and we sing and dance.”
Jake didn’t seem too convince about this game, so Annie took out her phone and look for an aux cable to connect to the stereo. She hasn’t seen a stereo since she lived with her parents, which make her question how old Andy was, she thought he couldn’t be as old as his parents were; perhaps 40 tops. She connected her phone and music began to play, it didn’t take much for Jake to start dancing around Annie.
It was almost 7:30 when Andy came back with the pizza ready for movie night. When he got out the car, he could hear the music coming out of the house, Anybody Seen my Baby by the Rolling Stones was blasting trough the walls when he opened the door. He walked to the living room, leaving the pizza on the small table at the entrance, he saw Jake jumping up and down on the floor and Annie was giving him her back, he saw her up and down; she was swaying her hips at the beat of the music and singing pointing at his son. The jeans and white top she was wearing fit her perfectly. When the song came to an end, Andy started clapping. Annie jumped and looked back.
“How much did you see?”
“You are a great dancer.” He smiled at her and took his jacket and tie off “Who’s ready for a movie?”
“ME!!!!!” Jake jumped on the couch finding his spot for the movie night.
“Why don’t you settle with Jake while I change?” Annie nodded and Andy walked to his room.
10 minutes later Andy came down wearing some black sweatpants, a white V-neck t-shirt and he was bare foot. Annie just stare at him for a moment before looking down at her hands. Jake was in charge of choosing the movie, and as they expected he chose The Avengers. The three of them sat on the couch, Jake was in between Andy and Annie enjoying his pizza slice and chips. During the movie Andy glanced at Annie, her soft jawline lighted with the light from the TV; Annie turned to see him and Andy put his attention back on the movie, she could see his long eyelashes and the way his muscles tighten on his neck. Half way through the film Jake laid on Annie’s lap and a little later he fell asleep.
“Do you want to finish the movie?” Andy said out of the blue turning to see her.
“Mmm no, not really, I already know how it ends.” She smiled, “I think I should go home.”
“Let me put Jake on his bed, and I’ll drive you.”
Andy took Jake in his arms and went upstairs. Annie started to clean the little mess they made on the coffee table and washed the dishes. She was about to finish when Andy cleared her throat.
“Do you have to leave already? I was hoping we could talk.”
Annie looked at the clock in the kitchen, it was 9:30.
“I could stick around a little longer.”
“I mean, I know you have to go home to your boyfriend, I don’t want to cause you problems”
“He is out, he’s never home early on Fridays. His classes end around 7 and then he always goes out with his friends after school”
“Great!” Andy said a little bit too excited, “Beer?”
“No, thank you. I don’t like beer. Water is fine.”
“WHAT?! That’s a crime!” Andy said grabbing a beer from the fridge, then went to the cabinet.
“Beer tastes bad, and smells even worse.”
“I have red wine” Andy showed her the bottle.
“Well…I guess I could have a glass.”
Andy opened the bottle, served her a glass and headed back to the living room. They sat down and put their drinks on the table in front of them; they stayed there, silence filling the air.
“I…” they said at the same time.
“No no, me first.” Andy cut her. “I wanted to apologize for the way I yelled at you last Wednesday, I was stressed and you were right. Jake didn’t deserve my behavior nor you. I need you… we need you, Jake loves you, and I want you to know that the job is still yours if you want it.” He took his wallet out his pocket and give her the payment of the week.
“Really?” She said taking the money, “After the way I snapped and basically called you a terrible father?
“Yeah, even after that.” Andy took a sip of his beer. “And also, I was hoping we could start over, so, “Hi,” Andy extended his hand. “I’m Andrew Stephen Barber, born and raised in Boston. But you can call me Andy.”
“I’m Annabelle Marie Johnson” she said holding his hand “also born and raised in Boston. Everyone calls me Annie.”

After the first couple of weeks, Jake and Annie became closer, and Andy was more stressed as days passed by. He came home, had dinner, kissed his son goodnight and locked himself in his office. Annie’s schedule was never due at 7, she always had to stay longer and that started to bother Daniel, who didn’t like the idea of his girlfriend being in the house of a single man at night.
It was a Wednesday and Andy came back home early, but as soon as he got in, he went to his office and kept working. Annie and Jake were playing to be pirates on the living room, it didn’t take long for Andy to come out of his office.
“Hey! I’m trying to work here! Keep it down!” and then he slammed the door.
“Daddy is apset.”
“Daddy is stressed, wanna help me to make dinner?”
An hour later dinner was ready, Annie sat Jake around the table, and served his and Andy’s plate. She made chicken with roasted potatoes and a side salad. She walked to the lion’s cage, knocked at the door, and slightly opened it.
“Hi… dinner is ready. Jake is already waiting for you.”
“I’m busy. I’ll have dinner later.”
Andy was surrounded by a bunch of files and his laptop was on in front of him.
“But, your son…”
“I just told you I’m busy! You have dinner with him.”
Annie closed the door and went back to the dining room where Jake was playing with his food. She sat down in Andy’s place.
“Don’t do that sweetie.”
“Is daddy not eating with me?”
“He is busy, but he said I could eat with you.”
The boy lowered his head and then nodded. After they finished their dinner, Annie send Jake to his room and she cleaned the kitchen. It was almost 9 and as it was to be expected her phone didn’t stop ringing, it was Daniel.
“Where the fuck are you???” One more text, “have you seen the time?” another one, “answer me!”
“Still working” was her only reply.
Once she finished cleaning, she went upstairs to tugged Jake in, but her heart broke when he saw the little boy crying on his pillow.
“Hey, what’s wrong sweetie?” she took him in her arms.
“Daddy… is…busy… and angy… cuz…and… he… mad… me!!! Jake said between sobs.
“shhh, shhh, he is not mad at you, he just has a lot of work to do, this has nothing to do with you. He loves you very much”
“I want him to play with me!”
“I know, I know, but he is working right now. I’m sure you two would play on the weekend, and go for ice cream, and watch a movie, what else would you like to do?”
“I wanna play pawrates with him.”
“Perfect, we can add that to the list. But if we wanna do that, first we have to stop crying, and go to bed cuz is late.”
Jake cleaned his face and make himself comfortable on his bed; 5 minutes later he was fast asleep but Annie was boiling inside. She went downstairs and opened Andy’s office unannounced. Andy looked at her with wide eyes while he held his phone against his ear.
“What’s your problem?! No, not you Neal, I’ll call you back.” He hung up the phone.
“You really wanna know?! Your son went to bed crying! Because you are too fucking busy to have dinner with him!!!!” Annie took a breath. “And I’m sorry, I know this is your job, but as far as I know you made a promise, to always have dinner and play with him a little before going to bed. Does that mean nothing to you?!!!”
“Hey! I won’t allow you to talk to me like that! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THING YOU ARE?! His voice was getting louder by the minute. “OF COURSE IT MEANS SOMETHING! YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT MY SON! HE IS THE REASON I ACCEPTED THIS JOB!
“Well, then prove it! Leave your work for later when you come back home! He needs you!”
Annie turned around and went to the leaving room to pick her things up.
“COME BACK HERE! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!”
“I’m going home, look at the time, I should’ve been out of here almost 2 hours ago, my boyfriend won’t stop texting, and I stayed because I didn’t want to leave Jake with his so-called father, cuz I knew you were not going to pay attention to him.”
“YOU ARE FIRED!”
Annie went out of the house and ran to her car, leaving the Barber’s house behind. Andy stood in the living room running his hands through his hair. The case he was working on was getting the best out of him, and even though he wanted to spend time with Jake and go to bed early, he couldn’t. He had to prove everyone he could manage to be the ADA, otherwise he will be fired. Andy climbed the stairs to his son’s room, the boy was slightly snoring when he came in, he could see the fainted pink color on his cheeks and his puffy eyes, and it wasn’t long before he started crying at the sight of his son. He felt miserable.
Once Annie came back home, he found herself with a very pissed Daniel, he was sitting on the living room watching the news.
“It was about damn time.” He said without looking at her.
“I’m sorry, is just that I was very busy. Dinner took a little longer cuz Andy…”
“Andy?” he turned to see her, “I think Mister Barber is more adequate considering he is your boss.”
“He asked me to call him like that.” She answered shyly.
“I’m sure he did,” Daniel stood in front of her, “What else did he ask you to do?”
“Nothing, I swear,” She could see the anger in his eyes, “Why are you acting like this? Are you jealous or something?” Daniel laughed at her question.
“I’m sure I have nothing to be jealous about, right?”
“Of course not baby, He is just my boss, he had things to do and asked me to stay a little longer, no biggie.”
“Well I just hope he pays you for the extra hours.”
Annie stayed in silence, she rushed out of the house, she didn’t even think about the payment of the week, not about a payment for extra hours; the extra time was never discussed by any of them.
“I…” Daniel stared at her with a harsh look, “yeah, of course he will.”
“Dinner is cold, if you are hungry heat it yourself.” And with that he left the living room.
Maybe it was not a good time to bring up the fact she was now unemployed because she yelled to her boss.
 It was more than obvious that Annie didn’t show up the next day to take care of Jake and Andy had to take the child with him to the office, which was a complete disaster, Jake was annoyed by everything, mainly cuz his dad couldn’t play with him in office hours. Andy gave Jake a couple of paper sheets, pens and markers. He had done at least 10 drawings and pasted them all over Andy’s office, but that wasn’t enough to entertain him.
“Hey Andy, may I come in?” Neal was standing at the door with some files on his hands.
Neal was Andy’s “replacement”, he started working in Newton a year ago and now he was in charge of some of the cases Andy was working on before he was promoted, so in a way Andy still had to help him. Neal was eager to learn and please anyone, he was a couple of years younger than Andy so he couldn’t blame him, cuz he was the same way when he started.
“Sure, what’s wrong?”
“Ok, so the case of Mr. Bronson, it says here they found out new information…”
“I wanna go home!” Jake yelled.
“Jake, I’m working, I told you; you have to be quiet.” He turned his gaze towards Neal, “I’m sorry, you were saying?”
“The evidence is not complete, you wrote some notes here, about the witnesses, but the information is not complete.”
“I wanna play wif Annie!” Jake kicked Andy’s chair.
“Well, she is not here, so cut it out!” Andy snapped at Jake who only crossed his arms and pouted. “Do you have kids?” Andy asked Neal.
“No, I’m not even married.”
“Good, keep it that way a little longer.” Neal smiled at him and shook his head. “That information is in the file room 2, under the name of the witness I wrote there.”
“Thanks, man.” Neal stood “Bye, Jake. I like your drawings.”
“Fanks!” The boy waved and smiled to Neal.
Andy threw his head back and took a deep breath.
“I wanna go home.” Jake said quietly this time.
“Jake, you said you’ll behave, this is not behaving.” Jake crossed his arms again “Stop pouting, or there won’t be movie night tomorrow.”
“Andy? Can you come to my office?” Lynn, Andy’s boss, stood at Andy’s door with her arms crossed.
“Sure. Jake stay here, don’t touch anything.” Andy said to the boy who was pouting in a chair next to him.
Andy passed in front of his old desk, now Neal’s and Mrs. Stevenson’s desk, gave Neal a scary grimace, and Neal laughed at him, came into Lynn’s office and sat in front of her.
“Andy, I care about you, and I love Jake but he can’t be here.”
“I know, I had a situation.”
“Who’s Annie? Your son won’t stop talking about her. Are you dating someone?
“No, is her nanny. Pam thought it was a good idea to get help, Jake loves her.”
“If he has a nanny, why is he here?”
“Cuz I fired her last night” Andy sighed “She said some things I wasn’t particular thrill about, so I fired her.”
“What did she say?”
Andy told her about the argument they had the night before, just for Lynn to look at him with severe expression.
“Look you don’t have to prove anything. If I gave this job is because you deserved it, and because I knew you were good at it. If this means you are compromising your relationship with your son then yes, I could fire you. Your nanny is right, I know we sometimes have to keep working at home, but do that on your own time, don’t use your son’s. Go home Andy, spend the whole afternoon with your kid. And I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Andy came out of the office and took Jake to the park and to have ice cream. The boy was excited to be playing with him after all the work his dad had on his shoulders. They were sitting on a bench eating their ice cream.
“Jake, we need to talk buddy. I want to apologize for not spending time with you. I had to do some things about work and…”
“Striss” the boy smiled at him with his face covered in chocolate “Annie telled me.”
“Did she? What else did she tell you?”
“Dat you love me.” He was focused on the melting ice cream on his hands. “She always say dat.” He licked a bit of the chocolate in his small hands, “love you too daddy.”
“Really? How much does Jake love dad?”
“Too much!!!!” the boy said joyfully, hugged Andy and kissed him on the cheek, leaving small stains of chocolate over his shirt and face, “Can we buy Annie ice cream?”
“Sure. But you know, what if I’ll call her and maybe we can get more ice cream tomorrow.”
“Pizza!”
“Hehehe, pizza then. Let’s go home.”
Jake nodded and smiled at his dad, and Andy was only thinking how to apologize to Annie and make her come back, he needed her.

Annie came back to the living room, where Jake was closing his eyes fighting to sleep.
“How about if we take a nap?”
The boy yawned and nodded, she held him in her arms and went upstairs to Jake’s room. She put him to bed, gave him his stuff animal and Jake yawned.
“Is you a liar?” the boy said rolling to his side.
“A liar?”
“Yes, like daddy.”
“Oh! You mean lawyer. No Jake, I’m a student and for now I’m gonna take care of you. Is that ok with you?”
Jake smiled and closed his eyes, she waited a little just to make sure he was truly sleeping and then headed back to the living room to work in the project.
An hour later Annie had finished her part and send it to Mark. She was about to send a text to his brother when she heard small steps coming for the stairs. He found Jake with sleepy gaze and his pants all wet.
“I’m soddy…”
“It’s ok buddy. Wanna tell me what happened?”
“Da moster wants to take me” Jake yawned
“What?! Oh, no! The monster can’t get you, cuz I’m here and I won’t let him.”
“Daddy is gonna be angy.”
“Of course not Jake, your daddy loves you very much. I will tell him about the monster ok? But for now, you need a bath and a change of sheets.”
Annie bathed Jake and changed the bed sheets. She was about to leave the boy’s room when she saw the picture of a woman with a baby in her arms, a picture she didn’t notice earlier, the dark-haired woman was beautiful and seemed to be so happy holding her baby. She smiled and went to the kitchen to make dinner. They didn’t have much so she just make pasta with marinara sauce and mushrooms. While she cooked Jake was on the floor drawing something. It was 7:10 when the door opened.
“I’m back!” Jake jumped to his feet and ran towards his dad. “Hi, buddy! Did you have fun?”
“Yes, dad. Da moster…”
“Oh God. The monster came back?” Jake nodded. Andy walked to the kitchen with the boy in his arms, then put him on the floor. “Go watch TV, I need to talk to Annie.”
The boy ran, while said: “tell’im bout da moster!” and Andy laughed at his son.
“Did he wet the bed?” Andy said leaning against in the counter.
“Yes, he took a nap, and it happened. I gave him a bath and changed the sheets.”
“I should’ve told you about it. He has trouble sleeping, he crawls to my bed some nights because of the ‘moster’.”
“That explain the bags under his eyes. Don’t worry, is just pee. It happens more often than you think.” Annie smiled at him. “You didn’t have much in the pantry, so… Pasta!”
“Fuck, I have a lot of things to do.” Andy rubbed his temples and then his eyes.
“You know, being a single parent is difficult already, don’t make it worst with that kind of thoughts.” Andy smile at her words. “If you don’t need anything else, I’m gonna take off.”
“Wait. Just a couple of things. While you are here, your friends or boyfriend can’t come to the house. Understood?”
“Of course.”
“And about your payment, do you want me to pay you at the end of the week or per day?”
“Ammm on Thursdays is fine.”
“Perfect, I’ll pay you today and I’ll see you on Monday.”
“At 3.”
Annie took her things, and headed to the door to leave.
“Bye Jake.” she waved at the toddler on the couch.
“Wha? No, stay…pease!” the boy leaned against the back of the couch.
“I’ll be back on Monday, we can play then.”
“You pomise?”
“I promise. Take care of your dad, ok?”
“Ok!”
“Good night Andy.”
Andy looked at the girl walking to her car, Pam was right, she was perfect. And she basically told him everything he had found during his research, except for the Disney film, that wasn’t in the report. Andy walked back in, and went to the kitchen, served 2 plates and sat with his son in front of the TV.
“So, buddy, what do you think about Annie?”
“Your fiend is pritty.” a fork full of pasta went to his mouth.
“She is.” the image of her came through his mind.  “But you know, do you like her?”
“She is funny, and pritty and she don’t let da moster taked me.”
“You know, I was thinking that maybe, she can come and play with you while I’m working. Would you like that?”
“Like a mommy?”
“No…” Jake was so little to understand what happened with his mom, and Andy didn’t have the courage to talk to him about it, not yet. “…mommy loved you so much buddy, but Annie is just our friend ok?”
“Yes, fiend.”
Around 7:30 Annie arrived to the apartment she shared with Daniel, her boyfriend. He was in the living room, books on the coffee table and his laptop in front of him, while he typed quickly.
“Hi, love!”
“Hi, dove” Daniel answered without looking at her. “Where were you?”
“I had a job interview.” she sat on the couch next to him.
“Really? Where?”
“Newton, you know as a nanny.”
“Dove, you need to get a real job.”
“It is a real job! He wants me to be there 4 days a week, 4 hours a day.”
“He?” Daniel raised his brow paying attention to her.
“Yes, he. Mr. Barber is a single dad. I will take care of his son Jake.”
“Mr. Barber?”
“Yes, he is a lawyer or something.” she thought a little bit. “ADA!”
“Wait! You are gonna be the nanny of Andrew Stephen Barber?” Now fully paying attention to what her girlfriend was saying.
“Do you know him?”
“Well, not personally, but the news about his promotion were all over the campus. Apparently, he is the youngest ADA Newton has ever had.”
“You know sometimes I just think we go to different schools. Anyways I have to be there at 3 till 7, Monday to Thursday. And I have to learn how to cook cuz I have to make them dinner.”
“Babe that’s not being a nanny, that’s housekeeping.”
“And what’s wrong with that??” Annie stood up and walked to their room. Daniel followed her. “Besides we need the money, I can’t be depending on my brother all the time, he has a family.”
Annie knew Daniel hated when she worked as a nanny cuz he thought it was not a serious job, but for her it was, she liked to take care of kids. She saw this as experience for when she finally became a teacher.
“Dove, you worth more than that, you were born to be more than just a nanny.” He put his hands on her waist pulling her closer. “And I told you once I graduate, I will take care of you, you don’t have to work.” he gave her a peck on the lips.
“I can’t do that, I love my major, and I want to work. I won’t quit my major.”
“Of course not baby, I’m not asking you to do that. I will never do it. I just want you to know that I can provide everything you might need in the future.” She smiled and hugged Daniel. “Did you miss me?
“Yeah, a little.” Annie kiss him slowly.
“I need to finish that paper, but after I’m done I’ll come back to you. Promise.”
Annie was left in the room, sat on the bed and called her brother.
“‘Sup kiddo?”
“Hi, Tom, just came back, guess what? I got a new job as a nanny. You have to see this kid, he is so precious! And ammm the dad is kind of a hunk.”
“Hahahaha, I’m sure Daniel is not around, otherwise you would’ve never said that. Speaking of, how are things going?
“Good, he keeps saying he is gonna take care of me once he graduates, but…”
“You don’t want that.”
“I know he means well, is just that I came so far not to graduate or even tried to get a job as a teacher. I don’t think I can do the trophy girlfriend thing. Also, I’ve been thinking about doing the extra year, so I can have my Master degree.”
“If that’s what you wanna do, I’ll support you. Mom and dad would’ve been proud of you.”
Annie sniffed at the thought of her parents.
“Hey, I didn’t tell you that to make you cry.”
“I know, is just… I miss them.”
“I know, I miss them too. If you decide to take the extra year, just let me know.”
“Do we still have money?”
“Yes, I think mom and dad really thought this trough. And I’m saving the money of the rent of the house, just in case.”
“Thank you, you are the best brother ever. I have to go, I have to research some things.”
“Alright, good luck with the kid. The missus says hello.”
“Tell her I say hi too, and kiss Denisse for me.”
After the call ended, she grabbed her laptop and look for easy recipes to practice during the weekend, hoping she didn’t burn the kitchen in the process.

Everyone at the office was cheering and drinking from their plastic cups.
“To Andy! The new ADA.” Pam said staring at Andy while lifting her cup.
“To Andy!!” everyone responded and drank.
Andy walked to the corner of the office and got his cellphone out from his pocket staring at the picture of his little son Jacob smiling on the screen.
“Hey, is everything ok?” Pam asked behind him.
“Amm yeah, is just…”
“What? You don’t seem happy, I thought this is what you wanted.”
“Of course it is, is a great job.”
“But?”
“Is more work, and Jacob is so little… I already feel I don’t spend much time with him, you know and now… I don’t know what to do! You said it, is the job I’ve always wanted, but is not fair for Jake.”
“You can get a nanny.”
“A nanny?”
“Why not? A lot of people have nannies, and it will be just a couple of hours in the afternoon. I’m sure if you talk to Lynn you can come to an arrangement.”
Andy thought about it a couple of minutes, Pam was right, nowadays it wasn’t weird for people to get help to take care of theirs kids. Jacob was already in daycare in the mornings, they could still have lunch and dinner together before put Jacob to bed.
“It doesn’t sound bad, I’ll post something on line or the newspaper… people still do that right?” Andy smiled at Pam
“Sure grandpa.” Pam said amused “I know a babysitter, she helps me with Phoebe sometimes. You know when we have emergencies.”
“Do you recommend her?”
“Of course I do, Phoebe loves her! And she is a student at Lasell so, is not a problem for her to come to Newton.” Pam pulled out her phone and wrote a number in a piece of paper. “There you go, her name is Annie Johnson; she is cool.”
“Thanks.”  Andy said looking at the little paper. “Can I do my research?”
“God Andy! She is not a murderer! I just told you she is a nice girl!”
“Still…”
They laughed a little and come back to the celebration. Andy was serious about the research, he couldn’t have a stranger taking care of his kid and house without knowing anything about her.
