Page 6 of Babysitting for the Teacher

“Everything is good. The boys are good. Monsters of course and growing like weeds. They miss their Uncle Chuck.” I grinned. I sat on the couch with the football game on and had another beer. Two was my limit though.

“I miss them too. Tell them I say hi. What about the ladies? Seeing anyone special?”

“That’s sort of what I called you about. There’s a girl.”

“I sense a ‘but’ here.” Chuck knew me better than I knew myself sometimes. We’d been best friends since the second grade and nothing got past him.

“She’s a student. And my boss’s daughter.” I held my breath, waiting for his response.

He let out a low whistle. “Wow, when you finally go for it, you really go for it. A student? Really?”

“She’s not a student of mine. I don’t have her for any classes. She’s also eighteen. As of today. She confessed she has feelings for me. She’s been nannying the boys for a while now and she’s great with them. It doesn’t hurt she’s hot as hell either.”

He started laughing on the other end. “Oh my friend, you’ve gotten yourself into a big mess, haven’t you?”

I couldn’t help but smile. “Yes, I did. I shouldn’t have moved here.” I sighed and leaned forward on the couch. “In all seriousness, do I tell her we can’t see each other anymore? Do I get a new nanny? The boys really like her though and they’ve had so many changes lately. What the fuck am I going to do, Chuck?”

“I agree that you should keep her for the boys, but you’re going to have to be the adult here and tell her that you can’t be anything more than an employer and employee or teacher and student. It’s not right. Maybe after this school year and she’s graduated, something could happen, but for now it’s probably not a good idea.”

I groaned and ran my hand through my hair. This wasn’t what I wanted to hear but he was right. “I hate it when you’re right.”

“Which is all the time, so you should be used to it by now.”

I rolled my eyes and laughed. We made small talk for a little bit before hanging up. I felt better talking it out with my friend, despite not being thrilled with the advice he gave me.

It wasn’t that late, but I decided it was time for a shower and then bed. I allowed myself to jack off to thoughts of Norah one last time but swore to myself that would be in. I pictured her in a dress with no panties, bent over the kitchen counter so I could fuck her silly.

Before turning the lights off and attempting sleep, I signed up for a couple of online dating sites. Maybe the problem was that I needed to get laid.

I slept like shit that night and avoided Norah like the plague the next few days. I didn’t say much to her when I got home and I felt terrible for being such a dick to her, but this was the way it had to be. She tried to talk to me a few times but I would always shut her down.

Saturday the boys and I kept busy so I didn’t think about Norah and her big party. I wondered if she took a date. I hadn’t seen her hanging around Aiden at school, so hopefully she didn’t start seeing him again.

I fell asleep on the couch while watching some college football game. I finally woke around midnight to go up to my bed. I noticed a car parked in the road in front of the house. After putting on my glasses, I realized it was Norah’s car. I didn’t see anyone sitting in the car so I went to the front door. I opened it and she was standing there.

“Hi,” she said quietly. “We need to talk.”

Norah

Ihad no idea what I was doing on Mr. Jones’s porch this late at night; I just knew we needed to talk.

He’d been ignoring me since my confession a couple of days ago. I may only be eighteen, but I could tell when a man was interested in me. And when he was giving me the cold shoulder.

I told my mom I was going to Jess’s house but I planned all along to come here. If he turned me away, I would move on, but until then, I had to try.

Seeing him at the door made my heart skip a beat. He was wearing a white t-shirt and his hair was a mess, like he’d been running his fingers through it or sleeping. He looked sexy as fuck and I wanted him.

“Did I wake you?” I shifted on my feet nervously. I never took many risks in life but I’d taken a big one coming here to talk to him tonight.

“I did fall asleep on the couch but I was just heading to bed.” He leaned against the door. “I don’t think it’s a good idea you’re here, Norah. You should just go home.”

I shivered and shook my head. “Hear me out. Then I’ll leave. I promise.”

He sighed. “Come on in.” He stood aside and let me come in.

I came inside and went to sit on the couch. I had to move one of the boy’s toys and I smiled. I really enjoyed caring for them. They were great kids and I’d grown to love them in the short time I’d been watching them.
