Sams POV

"You do realise it's three weeks tomorrow!?" I hand John the coffee as per our, now, morning ritual. Jas and Stephen are doing some home schooling with Seans' tutor and I am brighter, better even.

"Hmmm, wow, really? and you're much better too, which is good. Are you ok with the title?"

"What title?"

"Well you have a job now helping Sean, so Nanny?" John's pushing my buttons his smirk makes his mouth slightly turn at the corners.

"Like a goat right? I'm a nanny goat"

"Well if you are going to put it like that then we need a new fancier title. Queen Nanny Goat maybe"

I bop him with the tea towel and it slides to the floor. "I don't know, it's all too much to take in, you taking us in and giving me this made up job of yours"

"Is not"

"Well you didn't have a Queen Nanny Goat before did you" my turn to smirk as he comes closer, leans down and peers into me over his round glasses.

"Yes, but I didn't know what I was missing then, did I" Now he's got me. My face turns a shade of blush pink. "Haha! Got ya. Blushing you are Magic. Oh, yea meant to ask ya, is Magic ok or do you prefer Sam or... nanny goat" He gallops out the kitchen.

I pick up the glass I was filling with water for a drink, I look at it for a split second, smile and call back to John "John, could you come back for a minute I need a cup from the top cupboard"

"Hang on, I'm just getting my guitar ok" He yells from down the hall, I better not throw the water as I was going to, don't want the guitar ruined. "Yep where? Ouch Hey!!" The wet tea towel flicks him on the thigh and he is after me. Off down the hall I race. Around the lounge suite he chases me. I evade him and flee to 'safety'.

Locking myself in the bathroom, I catch my reflection in the mirror, suddenly I realise, I'm flirting with him.

"Come out you cheeky girl!"

I stay silent, embarrassed at my forwardness.

"Come in, out luv. I gotta go I won't get ya, now"

I open the door slowly and his face goes from wide eyed cheeky boy to worried in milliseconds "Hey, I didn't mean to scare you, luv"

I duck my head and walk past him and sit on the edge of the beautiful sofa that is placed so you can see the park, my favourite spot. "I didn't mean to, umm..." His face is contorted with confusion. "I was flirting with you, wasn't I. That's wrong, I work for you. You're my boss, that was so wrong."

Sitting down he takes my hand in his, tilting my chin up with his other hand. I can feel my whole body shaking. Eyes meeting eyes. Then, with a few words, he equally makes me feel better and scared in one short sentence "I don't mind if you flirt with me.....not one little bit" Then he was gone. Off to the studio.

Once he is out the door, I decide to call the phone number he handed me the first week I was here.

"Hello is that Mclean and Mclean Attorney's office, I would like to make an appointment please..."

Johns POV

The amount of improvement in Sam's demeanor has been wonderful.

She has a wonderful sunny personality which has been hidden away for a long time. How could anyone do that to a woman, I know I'd been an arse with Cyn years ago but I did realise and stopped.

I'm a bloody saint compared to that fella.

Saint Lennon, hmm, has a nice ring to it.

I had all intentions of recording a couple of tracks but as I sat in the control booth my mind was on her. Magic. She needs pampering. She needs looking after. I really wish I didn't have to ask her to be Sean's nanny, but I'm pretty sure Sam would not have let herself stay otherwise.

"Hey Tom, I'm going home, can't get into a groove, you right to shut up shop?"

"Yeah cool man, see you later" Tom was fixing the strings on a guitar and barely glanced up. I have a guitar restringer; Look at me, I'm a star nah I'm an idiot, a very rich idiot.

As I stepped outside, my now constant companion, Harry the bodyguard, nodded to me and walked beside me to the car. "Hey drop into that bakery round from home ....ta"

And we travel off, up busy city streets.

"Hello Mr Lennon what would you like today. Lots in the window, perhaps a cupcake for the little fella"

"Yep a dinosaur one, he is mad on them things! A pink fairy one and a.....one of those, yea. Two apple slices, no just 1 of those and a éclair and that bunch of flowers Harry is holding thanks"

We walked back to the Dakota from here, it's a nice day and not too many people to accost me, the psychiatrist said I need to get 'back out there' but I feel queasy, uneasy not that you would see it, I hide that crap well. Gazing up at the building that has been my home for a few years now I can see the windows of our apartment. Sean and my apartment I mean, don't I?

What is that girl doing to me.

Harry hands me the flowers as I rearrange the bags of bakery goodies. "See ya mate, thanks" He's ok, a bit dull, but he isn't there for his winning personality is he.

"I'm back! Where is me Seanie!?" I do that cliché thing of hiding the flowers behind me back. Is it too soon to do this? Should I just say they're for the living room.

Too late, Sam strolls round the corner and nearly runs into me.

"Hi! You're back soon, did you forget something?" Sam peeks around my back and spies the flowers "What you got there?"

"Oh these, are just some dodgy flowers from the bakery" I bring them out from behind me "I um was going to say they're for the living room, some colour, but they're.. Yeah.. they're... for you" Fucking hell don't blush, am I blushing?

"Oh wow dodgy bakery flowers just for me. You shouldn't have" She grins adorably at me then ducks off towards the kitchen. With a addled grin.

"Hey. Come back 'ere. I didn't mean the dodgy bit" Suddenly we are face to face as I round the corner to the kitchen, the kids attack me for the cakes and I yank her out of the room. "Not dodgy. Sorry" She put a finger to my lips.

"John, they are very lovely, the first ever flowers I've been given, well except for the daisy's the kids pick at the park of course.... Thank- you" My reward - a tiny peck on the cheek. "I'll just put them in some water"

I caught her elbow as she turned, her face up to mine, eyes bright, glowing. "Yea... hey..... Let's go out tonight"

"Well is there someplace good for the children?"

"Well yea but I mean you and me, just us two. I'll get Sophia to sit in with them"

"John, Sophia is your cleaner. I'm the nanny remember."

"I know but I want to treat you, a nice meal just an hour or two. What do you say?"

"I say-"

"Mummy, Sean is covered top to toe in green icing"

Jas pulls Sam away but as she walks back into the kitchen she replies "...ok two hours."
