Josie P.O.V

Everything was going on well and weird. Matthew occasionally kissed my cheek,smelt my hair or hugged me. It's finally time we get to go home. I am going to see my babies after two eventful weeks.

"You ready to get home?",Matthew asked smiling as he placed his hand on my back and guided me out to the elevator. I nodded and returned a smile his way.

The flight back home was silent. Matthew was busy with his laptop and I had nothing to do. I just played random games on my phone.

"We are here",I was awakened by Matthew's deep,husky voice. We met Martinez already waiting for us.

"Welcome back sir and ma'am",he greeted with a bow.

"Its Josie,Martinez and thank you",I replied as I rolled my eyes at him and he chuckled.

"Straight home right?",Martinez asked as he took his place in the driver's seat.

"I was thinking we surprise Toya and Leon since its 30minutes before school is out. That's if its okay with you",I replied looking at Matthew.

"Martinez,as the lady says",he said smirking.

I couldn't help but squeal like a teenager. The thought of seeing my two babies was just too much to contain. We reached the school early by 10minutes so we decided to come up with a surprise plan.

We got permission and headed to Toya's class first. She was seated in the middle row looking bored. I smiled at the sight,picked my phone and took a picture discreetly. We then knocked and her teacher let us in.She was so focused on her work that she didn't notice us come in.

Matthew moved and stood right infront of her desk. She looked up and with shock evident on her face screamed,"Daaaadddyyyy your home" as she jumped into Matthew's open arms.

I couldn't miss this beautiful moment so I took another picture. Father and daughter hugged for some minutes before she abruptly turned her head from Matthew's crook of the neck and looked my way.

"Joooossssiiieeeeee.I missed you so much",she screamed leaving her father's embrace and running to me.

"I missed you more baby", I replied trying hard not to cry as I picked her up and embraced her like my life depended on it.

All this while,the environment around us was non-existant. It was just us. Our moment was cut short by Matthew telling me we had another child to surprise. After saying hello to the children in Toya's class,I picked her backpack and we left hand in hand with a very excited little girl.

Once we were out of class,she wanted me to hold her so I picked her up as we strolled to little man's classroom. We thought we would surprise him the same way but there was a turn of tables. Even before we could knock on the door,an ear piercing scream sounded from within the classroom and we were attacked by little arms.

"Dadddyyy,Jooosssiiieee",he screamed as he hugged our legs tight. Matthew bent to his level and picked him up.

"I missed you daddy",he said almost crying.

"We missed you more bud",Matthew replied rubbing his back.

"I missed you Josie",he said giving me a kiss. I couldn't hold him since I was holding Toya who didn't want to let go. We greeted his teacher and the other children and left.

"I want Josie to hold me",Leon whinned once we reached outside.

"She is holding Toya bud. She will hold you once its your turn. Be patient",Matthew said.

"Toya sweetie,can daddy hold you so that I can hold Leon too?",I asked an extra clingy Toya. She nodded and I handed her over to Matthew and took Leon. My baby boy hugged the life out of me. I missed him so much. We got to the car. But none of them was willing to use their car seats so we held each of them and shared the seat belt. We were on our way to Matthew's parents house to pick Quisha. My little princess. Hope she hasn't forgotten about me.

Toya and Leon told us all we had missed while we were away and ofcourse wanted to know if we had surprises for them.

"Aren't we enough surprises for you?",I joked faking a hurt expression.

"Don't be sad Josie,you are the best. I love you",Toya said with a worried expression.

"Ohh baby don't feel sad,I was joking with you. And ofcourse we got surprises for the most beautiful children",I said earning smiles from both of them.

"But you get these surprises only if you were good children",I continued with a firm tone.

"We were good I promise. We ate all our food even the nasty veggies...."Toya defended but I gave her a look of disapproval when she called the veggies nasty and she immediately said,"sorry Josie. We ate all the veggies,took our naps,and went to bed early",she continued.I smiled at how cute she was, trying to tell me all they had done to prove they were worthy of the surprises.

We continued our conversation and all the while Matthew was smiling just adding a few words here and there. Then realisation hit me. We were back home. Would he continue treating me like before or would everything change. We were back to the real world.I pushed the negativity aside and focused on the two angels by my side.

We reached his parents' house and I just wanted to jump out of the car when I spotted Quisha on the front Porch with an elderly lady. "My baby has grown in two weeks!",I exclaimed unbuckling the seatbelt and stepping out of the car. I think she recognised us because she started squirming and holding out her hands to us.

I hurried or literally ran still holding Leon to where they were standing,adjusted Leon on my hip since he didn't want to let go and held her with my other hand. She gave me her toothy grin,"mama mama",she blabbered.

Aww she still remembers me. I kissed her cheek and she giggled. Her beautiful giggle was enough to let the tears I was holding back fall.

Matthew and Toya caught up and she held out her arms for him to hold her,"dada dada",she blabbered excited.

"Aww baby,I missed you so much",Matthew cooed as he held her and hugged her to himself.

Then someone cleared their throat and that's when we remembered we had company.

"Ooohh am so sorry Mrs . My name is Josie. Their nanny",I greeted embarrassed for forgetting about her.

"Oohh darling no problem,I know you missed these cuties and they did too",she said pulling me in for a hug.

"And trust me I have heard a lot about....",she continued but was cut short by Matthew,"Mum,I missed you",he said hugging her and leading her to the house.

"So was he talking about me to his mum that's why he tried changing the subject. Naaah,dont get ahead of yourself Josie,the children may have told her",I said to myself as I followed them inside the house.

The house was simple but still held an element of elegancy, welcoming from the open door to the wide hallway. On the walls were photographs of the children, obviously so loved,some old photographs of them and Matthew through the years. The floor was an old-fashioned parquet with a blend of deep browns and the walls were the greens of summer gardens meeting a grey baseboard.

I set Leon down and offered to help Matthew's mum set up dinner.

"Honey,thank you for helping out my boy",she said. "You know he had a wall around him and his children. He thought they were all he needed and he trusted just a few people around them. But since you came into his life,he seems more happier and relaxed",she continued.

I smiled at her and said,"I should be thanking you for raising him right. Thank you for being with him each step of the way. He idolises you and Anthony".

We held conversation and got to know each other better as we cooked.

"Grandpaaaa",Leon and Toya screamed from the living room. The procession made way to the kitchen.

"A little bird tells me the most prettiest,beautifuliest ladies are into the kitchen", Anthony said making Toya giggle.

"Grandpa you see I told you. You believe me now?",Toya said.

"I cant believe I lost a bet to a six year old",Anthony said faking disappointment.

"I wonder what bet you two had,but I am Josie,their nanny",I said holding out my hand for Anthony to shake.

"I told Grandpa that you were a...."Toya started but Anthony held her mouth.

"I am Anthony, the dad and grandpa",he said in his deep voice. Toya gave her grandpa an annoyed look which was Suppressed when he handed her some chocolates.

"Anthony why would you give her chocolates before dinner.They will ruin her appetite",Mathew's mum scolded.

He shrugged and said,"A bet is a bet. She won and got her reward".

Matthew's mum threw a lid towards him which he dodged and ran out of the kitchen. Matthew joined in our conversation as Anthony freshened up. We had dinner,talked some more and headed home.

By the time we got home,all the children were knocked out so we carried them to bed. We had all showered and done our night routine over at Matthew's parents house so we just got to bed.

Being exhausted too,we said our goodnights and Matthew kissed me. On the lips. It wasn't a peck. It was a deep,hungry,lustful kiss. I felt my knees become noodles under me.

Noticing this,Matthew between pants said,"jump".

And that's exactly what I did. He started moving to a room and I realised it wasn't my room rather his. Closing the door behind us,he led me to his bed. It being dark with only the bed side light. I couldn't make out his room. And even though the lights would have been on,my vision was already blurred by the kiss.

He pulled away for a second and slammed into my lips again.I can't believe I am kissing my boss agaaiiiinnn. And this time in his room. With his children in the next rooms.

"Over thinking kills the vibe Josie",Matthew interrupted my thoughts with his raspy voice against my lips. I managed to smile with his lips still on mine.

"Although I would love to continue this,I know you are exhausted and need to rest,"he said breaking the kiss. I nodded and sat up adjusting my clothes.

"I guess I should get going to my room,goodnight Ma...."I said before Matthew cut me short with another kiss.

"Please stay with me. I promise I won't force you to do anything you are not ready to do",he whispered in my ear as he nibbled on it. This action was sending shivers through my body. I started feeling a sensation in my innermost parts. What is he doing to me.

I just nodded and he lay me on the bed and also lay on the other side pulling me closer to him.

"Goodnight Josie",he whispered kissing my hair.

"Goodnight Matthew",I replied.

Then soft snores from him alerted me that he was sleeping. I closed my eyes and also slept off. This was the most peaceful night I have had in a long time.
