Josie P.O.V

The next morning everything went on normally. Me and Matthew ignored what happened the previous night. I guess we both preferred to act as if nothing happened.

"Anyway nothing happened,we were just close,too close almost kissing but nothing happened",I tried to convince myself.

The week went by fast and it was the weekend already. I just couldn't wait to get my day off and spend it with Sherry and my family. We talked everyday but God I missed them so much.

"Good Morning Josie",Matthew snapped me out of my thoughts as he joined me at the table for breakfast.

The children were still sleeping because it was the weekend and I let them sleep in.

Trust me I couldn't help but stare at the handsome creature coming to sit by me. Matthew was wearing sweat pants with no shit,showing his well outlined abs,his hair was messy but the sexy messy. I wish I could pass my hands through his hair. As he spoke ,my eyes went to his lips. The lips I almost felt on my mine some nights back. Atleast he was checking me out too.Then I quickly manged to say something before it turns awkward.

"Good Morning Matthew,slept well?",I replied.

He just nodded and it was silent again.

"What...",we both spoke at the same time.

"Oohh go on",I told Matthew.

"Since its the weekend and you are off what are your plans?",He asked.

"I will be spending the weekend with my bestie and my family",I replied stuffing my mouth with some more eggs.

He again just nodded and continued eating. Silence again.

"What are you and the children going to do this weekend",I asked breaking the silence.

"I guess we will go to the park,watch some movies,and the zoo too,its been long since we were there",he replied.

"I know they will love it. Those babies adore you",I assured him gently rubbing his shoulder.

"I hope so. At times I feel like a failure but only God knows how I what them to have their heart's desire",he replied sadness lingering in his voice.

Just as I was about to say something,out conversation was cut off by Quisha's wails alerting us that she was awake.

I rushed upstairs and picked her up from her crib. She quieted down when she realized It was me holding her. I kissed her chubby cheeks and got her ready before heading downstairs to feed her.

Quisha's wails had woken up Toya and Leon and Matthew was helping them get ready. I fed Quisha and placed her in high chair as I cleaned the dishes we used.

"Josie Josie...",i heard little feet running towards me calling out to me.

"Good Morning babies,how did you sleep?",I said as I hugged each of the children.

" Good ,but daddy lie ",Leon said scrunching his face as though he was about to cry.

"Yes,daddy says you are not going to be with us for the weekend",Toya justified.

"Ohh babies,its just today and trust me tomorrow before your bedtime I will be here to tuck you in",I replied kissing their foreheads.

"You promise",they both said hopefully.

"I promise.Now can you two have breakfast before I leave?",I said tickling them as I carried each of them to their chairs at the table.

As they had breakfast,Matthew watched them as I got ready to leave.

As usual Quisha cried her lungs out. Toya and Leon whined alittle but later calmed when their dad promised them ice cream and pizza. My heart was torn between. I didn't want to leave Matthew and the children but I also missed my family and Sherry Ofcourse.

Matthew took a screaming Quisha from my arms and I said my final goodbyes and Martinez drove off as I watched Quisha squirm in her dad's arms trying to reach for me. Oohh my baby.

I had lunch with Sherry and we talked about literally everything. I even told her about my encounter with Matthew. I was glad I got it off my chest,I was dying to tell someone and Sherry was that someone. We continued gossiping until 3:00PM.

I met mom,Jolanda and Merijn at the mall. We shopped,had ice cream and finally dinner.We talked about almost everything and I realized how I missed them.

We went home and watched a movie before bed time. Jolanda slept with me in my bed and we talked till she fell asleep.

I on the other hand couldn't sleep. I kept on tossing and turning.

"Why today?",I said to myself mentally.

I missed my babies. This week I have been with them,I have grown attached. I don't know whether its a good thing or a bad thing. I reached for my phone to text Matthew and see how they were. Then I remembered I don't have his cellphone number and it was late to call the house phone.

"Damnnnnn",I thought to myself. Slowly I drifted off to sleep.

The next morning My mum suggested that we spend the day at the zoo. We all got ready and we were out of the door in no time. Deep down I wished I bumped into Matthew and the kids. I just want to see them and 7:30pm was so far.

As we headed to the cotton candy machine,I heard a baby's cry and it sounded so familiar.

Me and Jolanda looked around as Mum and Merijn got the candy. The cries got louder and louder.

"Poor baby must be tired ",Jollie said.

"How about we find where the cry is coming from",I suggested.

We informed mum and Merijn and started moving around looking for the baby's cry and their she was,My Quisha..I got jollie's hand and dashed to her as she squirmed to come to me.

Matthew and the rest hadn't seen me. Then Matthew turned and......

Matthew P.O.V

The next morning,I wanted to talk to talk to Josie about what happened the previous night but she acted like nothing happened. I decided to ignore too and the week went by fast both of us avoiding to talk about what almost happened between us. Trust me I wish we kissed. But the closeness we shared was a good memory enough for me. Atleast she felt the effect she hard on me.

The weekend I dreaded was here. I wouldn't have Josie with me,she will be with her family since it is her day off.

I made sure we had breakfast the two of us without the kids.

She looked so beautiful in her hello kitty pajama bottoms and a grey large T-shirt,her hair was held in a messy burn and trust me even without makeup,her beauty was intact. Atleast she was staring too and seemed to like what she was seeing. I purposely didn't wear a shirt to breakfast today.

"She is a natural",I thought to myself a smirk escaping my lips.

Breakfast was in silence we both said a few words here and there but I was satisfied seeing in the morning loathing tomorrow when I won't see her face in the morning.

And as we talked,she rubbed my shoulders and damn,that was enough for me to get hard.The way her hands worked on my shoulders felt so right. I could get used to her hands on me. No wonder my children love it when she rubs their backs. Her hands do the magic.

As I got used to her hands,Quisha woke up. Bad timing princess,I love you but this can't always happen",I thought to myself feeling disappointed.

Because you never know what may have happened later. Maybe I would have tasted her juicy lips.

When the children woke up,she helped with Quisha though she didn't have to because it was her day off. Then she got ready to leave and Ofcourse my littlest baby screamed her lungs out trying to reach for Josie as she left. Talking about Josie,I need to get her a car.

I led my children back to the house to start our adventures and thankfully Quisha quieted down and started playing.

We went to the park,then to the movies,had pizza and ice cream for dinner then it was bed time. I read a story for my children and tucked them in bed.

"Daddy,I can't sleep I miss Josie",Toya whined as she came into my room at 11:00pm and snuggled with me.

"Oohh honey,try to sleep she will be here tomorrow",I replied kissing her forehead.

"Daddy,please call her",Toya asked.

I reached for my phone and them BOOM,I don't have her number.

"shit shit shit"I mentally face palmed myself.

I decided to make up a little lie. How would I tell my 6 year old that I didn't have her Nanny's number.

"Baby,Josie is sleeping right now. It is late she may get scared",I lied.

"Okay daddy but will you call her in the morning?,"she asked. kiddddds!!!.

"We shall see honey",I managed to say hopping it will be forgotten in the morning. I kissed her as she slept off.

"Tomorrow I must get Josie's number",I told myself as I hit the hay.

It was morning already. I woke up careful not to wake Toya and went downstairs to start on breakfast.

I woke the children at around 9:00am,we had our breakfast,got ready and we were off to the zoo.

Thankfully Toya had forgotten about calling Josie.

"Daddy what time is Josie coming back",Toya asked.

"Not againnnnn princess", I thought to myself.

"Yes daddy,I miss her",Leon pouted.

"I don't know babies but she is coming back today",I said hugging them to me. I didn't want to lie again because I really didn't know when she would be back.

Quisha was napping in her stroller which I was thankful for. Because I know she was bound to get fussy when she woke up. She hadn't seen Josie today and yesterday.

Speaking of the devil,she woke and smiled at me. I carried her from her stroller,kissed her chubby cheeks and sat on a bench to feed her.

As I brought the bottle to her mouth,she pushed it away and started looking around.

She definitely is going to cry",I said to myself as her face scrunched and she let out an outburst gaining is attention from passers-by.

I tried to soothe her,rub her back as Josie does,whisper in her ears,kiss her but she kept on crying. Toya and Leon too tried to soothe her,making funny faces and sounds but she wouldn't quiet down.

"Oohh God ,I wish Josie was here",I thought out loud.

Quisha squirmed to get out of my arms.

I turned to see why and............
