I stepped into the house opening the door. The first thing I saw was Jane playing a hand game with Miya.

I closed the door to get their attention. Both turned their heads smiling.

"Hey, Mommy!" Miya came running to me with arms opened wide.

I scooped her up in my arms smiling at her. "Hey baby girl!"

"Hey Natalia!" Jane said smiling at me waving.

"Hey, Jane was everything okay with Miya? Was she good?"

"Yeah she was good like always." She said smiling.

"Good"

"Well bye Natalia see you tomorrow!" She said walking off towards the door.

"Hold on wait, Jane."

She turned around looking at me in concern.

"Is everything okay Natalia?"

"Oh, yeah I just wanted to say thank you for adjusting to my moving predicament and to still babysit Miya. A lot of people would have just left."

"Oh, Natalia you don't have to say thank you, I will always be there for Miya and you"

She gave me a bright smile, and gave me a hug.

"We love you Jane, thank you again" I pulled back from the hug still smiling.

"Love you guys too" She said.

We said our goodbyes and she left. I looked at Miya still in my arms.

"Let's get you in the bath"

I towered up the stairs stopping to her room. I knew why Asher picked this room for her.

It was all pink I mean everything to the floor all the way to the window frame. I was a little creeped out at first of why a grown man will have a pink bedroom. However, he probably noticed that was her favorite color from looking at her room from my old place.

It was only a little smaller then my room next door. It was still pretty huge. She also had her own bathroom attached.

Her bathroom was also a little smaller than mine, it just had a bath not a shower, but it was still a nice bathroom.

I sat her down on the floor and picked out some pajamas for her. A red long sleeve pajama shirt with an apple in the middle.

I than picked out some zebra patterned pajama pants for her. I walked her to the bathroom and stripped off her clothes putting her in the bath.

After I was done giving her a bath, and dressing her up. I told her to go down to the living room and pick out a movie for us to watch.

She excitedly nodded her head and ran downstairs. I went into my room and took a shower myself.

I washed my hair with vanilla shampoo and body. I got out of the bathroom wrapping myself with a towel.

I got dressed in checkered pajamas pants and a black loose shirt. I left my hair down and curly letting it air dry. and lathered my body with lotion.

I walked down the stairs heading to the living room. As I got closer I heard voices speaking. I finally came down to the bottom of the stairs to see who it was.

I saw Asher holding up Miya giving her kisses on her face. While her head was buried in his neck.

"I've mwissed you Ashwer!"

"I missed you too sweet heart" He said giving her a kiss on the forehead.

She looked up in my direction and perked up.

"Lwook mom Ashwer here!" She said excitedly pointing her little finger at him.

"Yeah, I see" I said smiling at her.

She wiggled out of his arms going through the boxes of DVD's. Oh, you're probably wondering why there's still boxes in the living room.

Well, first I'm too lazy to unpack the rest which is only like two of them. Secondly, I don't exactly know where to put them. And thirdly, I'm not going to unpack everything because we're not staying here permanently anyhow.

So, what's the use of unpacking something. When in a couple of weeks, you're going to be packing it up again?

I continued to look at Miya until Asher spoke up.

"You don't have to work tomorrow." He stated looking at his phone.

"Why not?" I asked confused.

"Because I said so." He said like it was the most known and understanding thing.

"Well I know you said it, but I'm just wondering why?" I asked irritated.

Oh no, is he going to fire me, or cut my hours. Well he can't right? He will need me all the time well not need me but you know what I mean.

"Can you stop looking worried, everyone is off tomorrow, no one is going into work." He said moving past me in the kitchen.

I sighed in relief but I was still confused in why no one wasn't going into work.

"Why isn't anyone going into work?" I asked following him into the kitchen.

He put his briefcase down. He took his jacket off, and loosened his tie. Which made me look at his chest.

Man, he was hot, and what he was doing was not helping the action of me drooling over his appearance. I looked back into his eyes to distract myself.

Dang it, those eyes were a distraction itself as well.

Well, him in general was just a distraction.

"You ask a lot of questions" He said smirking at me in amusement.

"Yup" I said popping the P

He was now walking off getting some water still not answering my question.

"Well?" I asked again.

"Every year there is a ball for the major companies in the city. And I'm on top so my workers and I must go. So, I give them the day off to do whatever they need to do to get ready for the ball." He said shrugging.

"Well that's nice of you" I said smiling trying to annoy him.

He rolled his eyes at this comment. He hates when I recognize the good and kindness that he does he gets so irritated. It's pretty funny.

"Hold on you have at least more than 800 people working for you, and everyone's going?

"Well no, for me they had to minimize of who I'm bringing because I have the most workers out of all the companies that are attending." He said with pride.

"So, who are you taking?" I asked.

"Only the 15th floor which is only like 20- 30 people." He said.

"So, what about the rest of the people?

"They still won't go to work. When we have the ball, its like everything shuts down. I mean there really won't be nothing for them to do anyway." He said while shrugging his shoulders.

I nodded my head in understanding.

I'm on the 15th floor, will that mean I have to go? I was going to ask him that same question, but he beat me to it.

"Including you." He said taking a sip of his water.

"What!?"

He looked at me not even repeating what he said.

"Okay, you got 2 minutes to get it out." He said looking at his watch. He already knew I was going to ask a load of questions.

"Why do I have to go?"

"Because youre my personal assistant." He said while giving me a ridiculous look.

"Well you don't need me there."

"I know I dont."

I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Well... well someone needs to stay with Miya?" I said trying to scram for an excuse to not go.

"Call Jane and let her know that you will need her that night instead of the morning to baby sit her."

"Well what do you guys do there, that its a must that I need to go?"

"They give out awards, dine, converse, dance. You know what normal people do at these things."

"I guess...?" I mumbled to my self

"What-"

He cut me off by clapping his hands and looking at me.

"Okay, you're 2 minutes are up."

"Wait, I have one more question." I said whining.

"I gave you too much time anyway."

I sighed and looked down. I mean it wouldn't be that bad. I know that if I called Jane she wouldnt have a problem babysitting Miya. It will also be good getting out the house. I mean all I do is work, take care of Miya, and occasionally go out for coffee with Tracey.

"Fine, I'll go" I groaned looking at him.

He placed his glass in the sink, then looked up at me again.

"It was never a choice my love, you were going either way." He said with a bored tone.

I rolled my eyes at him. Wait what about my hair and dress what was I going to do.

"I already know what youre thinking. I already have the appointment set up for tomorrow morning to get you ready."

"Well what about I don't want to go. What about I want to do my own hair and pick out what I -"

"Nope, if youre with the best. you got to look the best." He winked at me and walked away towards Miya.

I was trying to get upset, but I couldn't because I just realized that he called me and at me.

I felt a tingling sensation in my body when I repeated the words in my head.

Oh, stop it Natalia, stop acting like youre in high school it's just a word, nothing to get worked up about.

There was nothing behind it and there will never be nothing behind it. I tried to accept the thought in my head, but I couldn't.

It wasn't just a word, well not to me anyway.
