The Billionaire’s Babysitter by Essie

Chapter 29

Thursday morning, Gisele was discharged from the hospital. Little did she know that this day was going to be a major turning point in her life.

“Are you all right? Do you need anything? Water? orange juice? lemonade? appl–“, Slate started frantically.

“I’m fine”, Gisele said, covering a laugh. Slate had been fussing over her since she had been discharged.

Slate sighed at her, exasperated. It was that moment that Callie decided to enter the room, skipping happily. It was like the episode of the other day had not happened at all, in fact she loved Gisele now more than ever.

“Gigi!”, she said enthusiastically upon seeing Gisele. “I missed you”

Gisele cooed internally. Callie was too cute.

“I missed you too, honey.”, Gisele replied and opened her arms for a hug. Callie ran into her arms and hugged her with all her might.

On his side, Slate was happy to see this reunion. Gisele was a very important part of his life, one he could not imagine living without her. He just couldn’t wait…

“Gisele, I need to speak to you”, Slate said abruptly, after a while. Gisele nodded calmly, but she felt very scared.

What if Slate wanted to tell her to go away now that she had recovered? What if he didn’t want her any longer? What if he had found someone better? What if–

“Gisele, don’t over think it”, Slate said with a nervous glint in his eyes.

She nodded, and wondered if she had not imagined what she had seen in his eyes. Surely not! A nervous Slate was one completely new to her.

“I’ll be going out for sometime, I thought it best to inform you”, Slate said, the nervous glint disappearing.

Gisele was confused; he sounded so like her boss from a few months ago, and she felt really disappointed. She didn’t know how to act around him when he got like this.

“Uhm…okay”, Gisele said, masking her hurt and disappointment.

As soon as Slate left and Callie was sleeping, Gisele called Lizzie over. In about thirty minutes, she was there.

As Lizzie was entering, her joking manner took over. “Wow, I still can’t believe I’m entering a billionaire’s house, all because my best friend is going down and dirty–”

Gisele slapped Lizzie lightly, fighting a smile.

“Lizzie, don’t say stuff like that”, she admonished.

“What, isn’t it the truth?”, Lizzie asked rhetorically before continuing, “I bet you guys fulfill your fantasies and I’m not talking about the ones you have of owning a library full of books. Nuh-uh. I’m talking about s**–”

“Lizzie!”, Gisele whisper-yells, full on laughing, “don’t say stuff like that”

“Hey, at least it put a smile on your face. Look at that cute smile.”, Lizzie said, enjoying her best friend’s discomfort.

“Cut it out”, Gisele said tiredly.
