ROWAN'S POV
Previously this juncture, Rose could be sighted at the distant end of the parking lot with the twins. Busily reciting them absorbing stories about the ancient worlds and the recent civilizations.
Along the line, she also got to know the twins better much more as they stumble for a while to watch the duos in the heating argument.
"Mum is quarreling with dad again," Christopher said sadly as he looks down to the grounds.
Rose was heartily touched. "Don't ever say that Christopher baby, Mum is just talking with your daddy, okay?" She tilts her head to glance at his cute face.
She held both twins' shoulders, drew them closer to herself while her eyes were glued to the seething grown-ups as the woman swerves to take off with a concrete glare. She never attempted to spear a look once at her children.
"Okay, children, like I was saying...,"
Rose called back the children's attention after the young vibrant woman was gone, she began again her enthralling tales.
Rowan was mislaid, he lingered in his speck for a while in his sole thoughts.
However, a burst of hearable laughter thrusts him out of his thinking as he saw a stunning woman in a red dress playing jovially with his kids. They came across to be interesting to watch.
"Who's she?" He thought confusedly as his eyes were seated on the young lady.
He hadn't confronted her before, she doesn't look familiar to him in one bit. Gradually, he put up with quick footprints towards them, his hands pleated inside his pockets pant.
"Daddy!!"
Christopher and Christine called out cheerfully on snagging a glance of him, they promptly fled to him while he widened his arms apart as he prepared to engulf them into a passionate hug and so they did; he embrace them as if they would disappear from him in a twinkling.
"Mum is gone?" Christopher asked the very minute they disengaged from the hug.
He knew she has left already. However, he barely couldn't help but inquire.
"Yes, she's gone? Do you miss her?" Rowan inquires, fondling Christopher's hair as the little boy shook his head sideways.
"No dad," he answered and Rowan smiled in relaxation at him, bestowing him a quick peck on both cheeks likewise Christine too.
"Who is she?" He suddenly motions his head at the lady who simply sat while she fiddled her fingers.
"Her name is Rose, daddy," Christine heartily disclosed.
And at that stance, Rose's ear perks up to her name being called. She decide it was high time she gets to emerge and so, she stood to change direction nearer to them.
That sudden nervousness, that familiar tension she had tried to put the brakes on poured out through her strongly.
Rose's legs quiver on approaching the hanky man; luminous blue eyes like the blue surges of oceans, tiny pink lips, brown flaxen hair, perfect jawline, huge muscles. A warming and comforting aura stream around him like a plague.
He's honestly sinfully handsome!
"Is he real?" Rose inwardly thought as she checked out the drop-dead gorgeous man.
She swallowed down nothing on recollecting she had a boyfriend, she shouldn't be gawking at a man like that, not just a man. A married man with two phenomenal kids.
Just like Rose, Rowan was surveying the pretty lady in front of him. She possesses the greatly beautiful figure he has ever set his eyes on. Her bodacious curves are murdering, well-carved brows, grey bright orbs, adequately pointed nose, she's a goddess in antenna form who appears decent and respectable.
"Good Day sir!" Came her pleasant tiny voice to him.
"Same here, I'm Roman Hendricks," He introduced, stretching his hand out for an unharmful handshake.
Rose swore his voice sounded like velvet in her ears, she wishes for him to say more and forever... Gosh!
"I am Rose Turner," She replied, accepting the sturdy hand of the notable man.
Somehow, their hands lingered like forever as their eyes intensely locked jointly.
"Why isn't he letting go of my hand?" Rose thought.
Her cheeks were weakly toasting, she felt a slight striking compression from Rowan.
"Why is she holding on? And I don't seem to let go," Rowan muttered mentally as he gazed keenly.
The youngsters were simply watching the two adults do their thing.
"Daddy, let go of aunty Rose's hand, you are clenching it to death!"
Rose and Hendricks heard Christopher's little voice jerk them forcefully from their reverie as they disentangled their hands quickly.
Rose sought not to indicate how extensively her cheeks were burning out of blushing with the impressions of the attractive man.
"Fuck why the hell would I blush?!
"Daddy she's here for a job. I mean babysitting... And we want her, please daddy employ her," Christine said pleadingly as she looked over to her loving father.
"Yes daddy, we want Aunty Rose. Please employ her, huh? She's the nicest, not the monotonous types we had formerly," Christopher put in.
Rowan was delighted to listen to the words from his kids but he didn't want to rush things so he ordered them to run off to tinker while he have an occasional word with Rose.
"So, tell me more about you. I meant... yourself," Hendrick requested when they were left alone.
"Okay, this is it. You don't get to mess things up, just be candid and frank," Rose mentally said to herself before saying a word to the handsome man in front of her.
"I am Rose Tuner, twenty-two years of age. I'm still schooling in college. I'm an orphan, I uh... grew up at the orphanage before I was given up for foster care, then I was sent to live by myself all this while when I came of age," she explained, although vacated the boyfriend ingredient as she thought it wouldn't be necessary.
Rowan nods to her earshot statements but then, he decided to inquire about how she managed to school through and while she wanted the babysitting job.
"Why do you want this job? I mean your schooling right? How would you cope?" He put forward a question
Rose unknowingly was fiddling her fingers as she was suddenly feeling anxious about his uncommon question.
"I'm under a scholarship payment, I'm now in my final year and the scholarship couldn't keep up with the expenses the college requires so It got to a point I have to drop out but then, I decided to look for a job for my payments sir so I could go on with it again," she honestly explained.
A stillness silence steps in its pause, as Rowan gave in to so many thoughts.
"Hmm, I see. Well, no problem. Heretofore, my kids got to like you, I like you too. So, you got the job," Rowan discloses to Rose.
She was extremely happy she had no idea when she leaped on her boss excitedly, she instantly jerked away when she realized what she had committed.
"I'm... I'm sorry sir," she promptly apologized.
"It's fine, it's okay, no harm done," he smiled at her of which she returned in deep relief.
Rowan inwardly was astonished to feel her sudden hug on him, he was kind of grim when she hastily pulled away from him, he wished she had lingered on.
Hold on; he shouldn't be feeling this way towards her, he is her boss in professional ways and has to keep off any striking feelings he's possessing right now.
Aside from that, thankfully and fortunately; he eventually found a suitable babysitter for his two remarkable kids.
That was what matters to him right now and then Eva; he wonders what evil act she would carry out on him. However, he cares less, he is ready for her anytime and he gets to the bridge, he'd surely pass through no matter what.
