Rachel

“Stop laughing for god’s sake,” Jayce complained with a long sigh but I couldn’t stop my laughter. After what my eyes have witnessed.

“Rachel,” Jayce complained yet again. “It wasn’t so funny that you are laughing so hard,”

Jayce is wrong with these. It was funny as heck, so much that the image is still vividly printed on my mind. And every time I look at Jayce, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Rachel….,” Jayce sighed.

And I covered my mouth with my hand, trying my best to hide my laughter. “Sorry, but the scene of Laim sucking on your nipples…., is,” I couldn’t even complete my words and started laughing again.

“Very funny,” Jayce added, annoyed.

“Yes, very funny… But tell me what you were doing topless, with Liam lying on your chest,” I asked.

Jayce sighed, pointing his finger at the stain on his shirt. “Liam vomited here, and I have no choice. But to undress and clean the mess.”

“Okay, but what about Liam lying on top of you?”

“I tried my best to put on his crib, but he will start crying, so I have no choice but to make him sleep that way,”

Jayce was trying his best. Despite that, the image of Liam sucking on his nipple is something I can’t forget so easily.

“Next time, don’t lay topless with a child. You’re lucky he didn’t bite you,” I said.

Jayce smiled at my words, getting close to me, with his lip right next to my ear. “Don’t worry, he can’t bite as hard as you.”

My cheeks turned red with his words. “Jayce..,” I’m at a loss for words. Why did he mention something like here and now? “Shut up, we are with a child and to mention in someone else’s house,”

“Don’t worry, he is too small to understand and other than him, we are alone,” Jayce smirked devilishly.

I pushed his chest, creating some space between our bodies. “Go away and help me feed Liam,” I turned my head, trying to hide from his glance.

Jayce laughed. “You’re cute when shy,”

“Shut up and bring some milk.”

Jayce runs to the kitchen to grab some milk, but Liam didn’t seem to be interested in his bottle anymore. I thought he was hungry, that’s why he was crying hard, but now, it is starting to worry me. Maybe he misses his mom. I don’t know, maybe he has a stomachache.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Liam baby looks like your favorite star,” I said, holding Liam’s favorite star stuff toy in front of him, but he threw it away.

“I wished you could talk like Marline.” I sighed. Being a babysitter is not as easy as people think.

I’m out of options now. My mind is blank and I don’t even know what to do. I just hope Jane comes soon, as she said on the phone. Maybe the presence of his mother can calm Liam down.

“I don’t know how to stop his crying,” I said with a sigh as Jayce placed a comforting arm over my shoulder.

“Can I?” Jayce opened his arms, taking Liam from me into his arms.

“What are you going to do?” I questioned, watching Jayce as he cuddled Liam gently in his arms.

“I don’t know if it works,” Jayce replied as he placed Liam across his lap on his belly and started rubbing Liam’s back gently.

I curiously watched Jayce’s actions, as he continued rubbing Liam’s back, and within minutes Liam burped loudly like an adult human being, and it was all silent and calm.

What the hell happened, and how does Jayce know how to do it?

With Liam now calm, Jayce pacified him, placing him gently in his crib as if nothing happened.

“What did you do?” I questioned. “And how do you know the reason for his crying?”

“Remember how Liam vomited on my shirt and then again when you were feeding him and Liam ignored the bottle?”

“SO…,”

“That’s how I noticed Liam is having a difficult time because of all the air inside, this is why he is so cranky.”

“Okay, but how do you know he was cranky because of all the air?”

“Did I mention that I raised my sister from when I was ten and also babysit as teenagers,” Jayce smirked at his own words?

“No, you haven’t,” I sighed. “Thank God you were here. I was so worried. I guess I should resign,”

“Rachel, bad thighs happened to everyone, and I know you handled it all even without me.”

“I don’t know…..”

“I have seen how much you love and care about Liam, and if you want to resign I won’t stop you, but is this what you really want,” Jayce said, holding me in comforting arms. “Liam is fine, so don’t worry.”

I nodded, holding him tightly. “Thank you,”

“You are welcome,” He replied with a smile, planting a gentle kiss on my forehead.

“Thank God Marlene is fine,” I said, as Jayce and I went inside his house. “But she is still bedridden… it’s so sad, right? I mean how…,”

“Shhh,” Jayce placed his index finger on my lips, making me silent. “Good, she is fine and Liam is also with his mother, but you also should get some rest.” Jayce placed an index finger on my lips, silencing me, and carried me in his arms, towards this bedroom.

“I can walk,” I complained, even though I’m very enjoying the comfort that I’m feeling being carried in his arms.

“No, your body needs rest. You’ve run all day long, with so little rest,”

“I can say the same to you.”

Jayce stared at the stain, which was still present on his shirt. “But I need to take a shower first,”

I nodded, watching him undressing the upper half of his body. With my eyes on him, scanning his every stance and movement to the point where he started taking off his pants, standing in front of me only in his boxers. But that’s when the show stops, and Jayce, with a devilish smirk on his face, walks inside the bathroom, closing the door, leaving me with just a mere image of his beautifully carved body, leaving me unsatisfied and tired alone in his bed.
