John’s POV
It’s been three days since Mila started working for me and so far she’s been a complete blessing. I know Maize’s in safe keeping and that’s all I’ve ever wanted though I can’t say I’m getting any more sleep.
After lunch, I fall asleep again and this time I’m woken up by a guest bitching about a toilet issue. Usually, I’m friendly and have a smile plastered on my face, but honestly, I’m pissed. Mama caught wind of me snapping at someone and practically threatened to fire me, which I know would never happen, but it was a wake up call that I need more sleep at night and that’s not going to happen until Maize is sleeping in longer stretches. Any little noise I hear, I’m wide awake and then I can barely fall back asleep. By the time I do, it’s time to get up for work. I feel as if I could sleep for a week straight.
After falling asleep for the third time today, I force myself to stand the rest of my shift. I’ve had so many ridiculous things happen today that I swear it’s Friday the thirteenth. By the time I make it home, I’m so fucking exhausted that I can barely keep my eyes open. When I walk in, I see Jackson flirting with Mila and it annoys the fuck out of me.
“Jackson, kitchen,” I bark when Mila walks into the room to check on Maize.
“What?” He looks at me, slyly.
Leaning against the counter, I cross my arms over my chest and give it to him straight. “Listen. There’s a few rules you need to adhere too.”
He sarcastically nods his head, which pisses me off further.
“Don’t look at my nanny like that ever again.”
“Like what?” he asks.
I narrow my eyes because he knows damn well what I’m talking about. “I don’t need you scaring her away and leaving me without help. So don’t hit on my nanny. Don’t flirt with her, ask her out, and don’t you dare fuck my nanny.”
He arches a brow and crosses his arms as if to ask if I’m done—as if to challenge me on everything I just listed.
“Basically, stay away from my nanny. Got it?”
Jackson bursts out into laughter. He’s doubled over trying to catch his breath but I’m as serious as a heart attack, ready to punch him in the chest and threaten his life if he breaks my rules.
“Why? Are you fucking her?” he asks, laughing with amusement. “God knows you’re worse than me.”
“No. Hell no. Those rules are for everyone, and if you break them, I’ll break your fucking neck.”
He leans over and whispers loud enough for just me to hear. “But you want to.”
