Babysitting Mr. Powers' Daughter. Crazy Lady
DOMINICAt first, the name was vague.I don’t even recall the night she kept referring to. But after some seconds of deep thinking, I made the connection.My hands stretched mid-air and a huff of disbelief escaped my lips.“You are Grace’s friend.”“In the flesh.” The grand smile that followed made my entire system recoil in disgust. It was quite evident that she was a psycho and that means I have to be careful with the words I say.“Why? Why are you doing this?” I asked once I shook the shock away.Her mouth made a clicking sound.“I knew I would be asked that question at some point, but I didn’t you would be the first to ask.” She took one more step and my feet quickly reacted. I found another area to stand. Thankfully, all she did was sigh and resumed her talk. “I am doing this because Grace… Because…”Suddenly, she thumped her foot on the ground while her face carried an expression that suggested that she was trying to form her words.Her melodrama was hardly amusing or engaging.
Babysitting Mr. Powers' Daughter. Fear and Love
GRACEA faint voice was what it took to pull me out of the darkness I got dragged into. While I tried to adjust my sight to the sudden brightness, I heard the voice from earlier and quickly recognised it to be Dominic’s.The desperation I detected in his voice caused me to force my eyes to whip open and when all I could see was Dominic, I noticed how worried he was.“Grace.” The way he held my cheeks was enough warmth, but it was also an indication that something huge had happened. “You are awake,” he said, his voice now a breath lower.“D-Dominic?” I swallowed hard to get rid of the parchedness in my mouth.The man sighed again and moved his lips to my forehead where he planted a very long kiss. When he pulled back, he whispered “Oh, thank God. Thank God you are okay.”The next second, our foreheads met and I tried to figure out what the cause of Dominic’s earlier despair was.“Dominic,” I was going to move my hands but they didn’t budge, “is Ruby okay? Please tell me she is fine.”“

GRACESo, I faced Dominic and he quickly shook his head before I could say anything.“Don’t be crazy, Grace. I can’t be with her.”“It is the only way Dominic. What will happen to Ruby if we don’t make it out of here?” The incessant beeping was becoming deafening and it added more tension to the room. “Dominic, we have to walk out of this place alive.”Dominic moved closer. And with shaky hands, he tried to get rid of the ropes holding me.“Dominic.”“I can’t do that, Grace. I can’t betray the love I have for you. I can’t let her win.”“Dominic.” His attempt was futile but he didn’t give up. “Dominic, look at me. Look at me. Please.”“I need a knife. The ropes are too thick.”“Look at me.”He became more feverish and seconds later, he did as I asked.For a moment, I admired the beauty his eyes carried even though they were distressed. It reminded me of the first day I saw Dominic. Those eyes were the first thing I noticed.“Dominic,” I whispered and he moved closer until our sweaty fo
Babysitting Mr. Powers' Daughter. To the End or Forever
GRACERoughly two months later, things were a lot calmer. And thanks to a swift relocation to a lovely city in the Philippines, the incident that happened back then was almost forgotten.I guess Dave was right when he said that staying in the Penthouse for too long might continuously rouse memories of that day.I am not saying that I have forgotten what happened.Now and then, when I close my eyes, I see how evil Samantha was on that day. When I recall that moment, I wish to hate her with all I have. But knowing that the end she met wasn’t so good, I always end up with mixed feelings.But, in the midst of all those thoughts, one question continues to ring in my head.“I still don’t understand how Samantha was able to enter the hotel without arousing suspicion,” I said, my toes wiggling as I snuck into the blanket Dominic draped over his lower body.Dominic kissed my forehead and replied, “During the investigation, Dave and his guys found a secret elevator.”“There’s a secret elevator?

GRACEAnd I further punctuated my statement by placing a kiss on his lips. “I am very hungry, or is it just me?”To further what I had initiated, he leaned in a bit closer and engulfed my lips with a fierce kiss.I responded and went with the flow, returning the kiss with almost equal intensity. With growing desires, I allowed him to explore more of my lips to my delight.But it sadly came to an end. Once our lips were detached, Dominic brought his thumb and swept it over my lips.“I am hungry too,” he replied huskily. Then, he leaned closer to continue what he set fire to, but I drew back and entertained the idea of teasing and torturing him.“Since we are both hungry, let’s go to the kitchen.” As I got down from the bed, I did not miss the mix of surprise and amusement on his face. That sight made me smirk.And I decided to take my teasing to a higher level.As I walked out of the room, I added sultriness to my steps, and funny enough, it forced a groan out of Dominic’s lips. That s

GRACE“I can't believe this man,” I muttered under my breath. “Why did he leave these here?” With anger, I picked up the socks Dominic sprawled all over the floor while he was searching for his special socks.It has been many months since we moved and I still don't understand his infatuation with those socks. I won’t deny the beauty of the black and red material, but the fact he only wears them to huge business partnership meetings makes me dislike his love for the socks. If the socks were that special, he would wear them to our dates as well.But no. He would rather turn the house upside down because of those socks, leaving me to take care of his mess.With a gradually dissolving anger, I approached the drawer where Dominic just disarranged and dumped all the socks without care. He can sort out his mess when he gets back.I turned from the dresser and the image of Dominic comically rushing out of the house to escape my nagging tugged in my mind, causing me to erupt peals of laughter.
Babysitting Mr. Powers' Daughter. Family, Christmas, and David's Call
GRACEChristmas period came within a flash and I discovered that I was especially excited to be going to Dominic’s family house. Perhaps the memories I created in that home were dearer to me than I thought.I wonder if their field of flowers would have a lot of flowers in bloom. I know winter is not so friendly to certain plants. I should take a look anyway. It would be nice to feast my eyes on something beautiful and rare."This place looks peaceful," Ruby commented as she admired every part of the houses we drove past.“Right? Everything is beautiful as well.” Every house and street we drove past carried a touch of celebration decorations and that view made me certain that the whole town would be a great beauty by nighttime.As minutes passed, we became closer to Dominic’s family house and since the route we were taking was quieter, I decided to sit back and enjoy the amazing view.“Daddy, are we going to come here often?” Ruby asked, the joy and enthusiasm in her voice almost conta
Babysitting Mr. Powers' Daughter. That Heavenly Feeling
DOMINIC“What do you think Father wants to say?”Janet shrugged while her focus remained on the last bit of the cookie in her hand. After a deep swallow and some mouth-twitching noise I chose to ignore, she said, “He might just want to appreciate her. What?” One of her brows jerked with a touch of teasing. “Do you think he will try to convince her to leave you?”“Why would he do that?” My frown was very huge. “He wouldn’t dare.”“Relax. I am just joking. Pops would never do that to both of you. Or any of us.”“I know.” I scoffed. “I was joking as well.”Janet shook her head. “You still suck at making jokes. Some things never change.” I smiled at her words. “Hey, brother?” She looked up at me while noise from the living room hit our ears harder.“What is it?”“I shouldn’t have blabbed about the New York thing. I almost ruined things.” Janet was almost mumbling her words. She still doesn’t work well with portraying her feelings when she is in the wrong. “I am sorry.”“You almost ruined
