to be his nanny. It was because I kicked HIM instead of HER! Oh no!
    "I didn't." She looked over at me and knew right away that it was me. "I'm sorry Cash, haha. I keep getting these cramps in my calf and I'm trying to extend my leg out to make them go away. Man they've been killing me lately, isn't that right. O?" Thank you Claudia for coming to my rescue again.
    "Um. y y yes. she has been having a lot of them lately. You're probably just low on potassium or something." Whew! Check please! And another drink! I have a really good buzz going on now.
    "Oh, you can talk. I was wondering if maybe you were mute or something." I gave him a very hateful scowl. "Not that there's anything wrong with being a mute. It’s just, I believe that's the first thing that I have heard come out of your mouth since I walked into the room." I'm looking away, trying to take in all of the surroundings, anything, but this conversation that we are having right now.
    "Claudia, kick me again, because I think I just stuck my foot in my mouth. I do that quite often, I'm afraid. I sincerely apologize, Olivia, but the job is yours if you want it. Claudia and I go way back and she's like family to me, so if you're her family, then you're my family as well." Oh, what do I say back to that?
    "I accept your apology, but I really don't think that this is the job for me."
    The idea of spending any time with kids terrifies me. That's what I wanted to say! I would become too attached and your little girl is too close to Jenna's age when she died, and I just couldn't bear to spend time with her every day. Gideon is too close to Jeremiah's age and sounds just as mischievous as he was, and no no no no no! I just can't do it!
    "Before you dismiss the idea would you at least listen to what the job entails?" I looked up and he was staring at me, waiting for my reply. It would be very rude of me to say no, so I just nodded my head.
    "Ok. My parents pick the kids up every Friday at 5pm and bring them back on Sunday at 6pm. You would need to be there by dinner time at 6pm Sunday, and then get them bathed and ready for bed. You will watch them all week, morning and night, and take Gideon to school every morning and pick him up after school. No need to worry about driving, because I have a driver that will take you to his school and he will take you to go pick him up as well. Eden won't start school for another year, so you will watch her every day, but don't worry she still takes naps, according to the nanny. You can have a couple of hours break before its time to pick Gideon up from school and if she's still asleep, you can just leave her there with the cook. She loves the kids to death, but she doesn't have the time to watch them. Are you with me so far?" I nodded for him to continue. Is he kidding? When does he spend time with them?
    "I'm usually away on business two or three nights a week and when I'm at home, I'm working in my study. The kids know not to bother me when I'm in my study, so it will be your job to make sure they don't get any ideas and come bother me . You will have weekends off to do whatever it is you want to do, as long as you're back at my house by 6pm Sunday, when my parents bring them home. The job pays $3000 a week but I will pay more if you want more, because money isn't an issue. You will have your own suite that connects to the children's rooms, so that if they wake up in the middle of the night sick or from a bad dream, you'll be right down the hall from them. You will also have monitors to look in on them that have audio as well. So, what do you think? Do you want the job?"
    I so want to kick Claudia for real, but I refrain myself from doing so, just that in case I accidentally kick Cash instead. Actually, kicking him sounds good about now. He's not looking for a nanny for his kids. He's looking for a mother. That is something that I'm not anymore. Never again. I look to Claudia for some way out of this and I can tell that she knows what's
