As the sun streamed through the windows of Gabriel's master bedroom, Davina slowly began to stir. She stretched her arms above her head, feeling a satisfying ache in every muscle. As she opened her eyes, she was greeted by the sound of Mikey's laughter coming from the next room.
She sat up, taking in her surroundings. She was in Gabriel's bed, completely naked. Panic washed over her as she quickly got dressed, trying to piece together the events of the night before.
Just as she was finishing buttoning her shirt, Gabriel walked into the room, looking disheveled and hungover. He came to a halt when he saw Davina, his eyes widening in surprise.
Davina, never one to beat around the bush, greeted him with a confident "Good morning, boss. I see we had a little...fun last night."
Gabriel looked uncomfortable, trying to apologize, but Davina cut him off. "Apology accepted, but let's get one thing straight. I'm not some damsel in distress. I can take care of myself and Mikey."
Gabriel was impressed by her strength, unable to help but smile. "I know you can, Davina. That's one of the reasons I hired you."
Davina, not one to be swayed by flattery, shot back, "Well, you can keep your flattery to yourself. I'm not here to be your eye candy."
Gabriel, still smiling, said, "I wouldn't dream of it. You're here to take care of Mikey, and you do a damn good job at it."
Davina, softening a bit, said, "Thank you, Gabriel. I take my job very seriously."
Gabriel, serious now, said, "I know you do. And I want you to know that what happened last night doesn't change anything. You're still Mikey's nanny, and I'm still your boss."
Davina, understanding his point, nodded. "I know. And I appreciate that."
Gabriel, relieved, said, "Good. Now, how about we get the day started? Mikey's probably hungry."
Davina, smiling, said, "I'll go get him. And don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't suspect a thing."
As she left the room, Gabriel couldn't help but think, "Damn, she's something else."
Davina, back in control, thought to herself, "I can't believe I slept with him. But I won't let it affect my job. I'm stronger than that."
And with that, she put on her game face and went to tend to Mikey, ready to face whatever the day had in store.
