Babysitting The Billionaire’s Adult Son

The ray of light flashes inside the room through the parted curtains. Kayla moves on the bed and her arms rest on something soft, yet hairy. She opens her eyes when she hears honey meow piteously.

“Oh, honey!” she exclaimed and pick the white kitten from the bed.

“Good morning.” she yawns and places her gently on her chest. “Did you sleep well?” she asks the cute little kitten as she rubs her head.

With a meow, the white kitten jumps down from her chest.

“Are you hungry?” Kayla asks worriedly. She rolls down the duvet from her body and places her feet on the ground.

Honey hops in excitement as Kayla stands up to her feet.

Kayla grins when she realises that the kitten is a morning pet. “You love morning, don’t you?” she asks, crouching down to the floor and picking honey up and then placing her in her arms.

“Let go and brush before having breakfast,” she says to honey and she started walking towards the bathroom.

She places honey on the counter before picking up her toothbrush from the container. She applies toothpaste to it and begins to scrub her teeth.

Having scrubbing, splitting out of foam, to rinsing her mouth, Kayla returns her brush to the container before proceeding to clean Honey’s teeth with a ball of clean wool.

She picks honey up from the counter and walks out of the bathroom. “Do you like milk or cheese?” Melanie asks the cute kitten.

She walks inside her room and fetches her phone from the nightstand. Checking her phone to see an unread mail from the chief.

She adjusts Honey in her arms and clicks to read the mail.

“Oh, he’s giving me a week’s leave from work to regain my strength? Is this a joke? Do I look sick?” she yells, hitting her forehead with her phone.

She couldn’t believe he would decide to ground her by giving her a week off from work. Kayla is a workaholic that can’t do without working.

She decided to put a call across to the chief and let him know that she is feeling much better.

“Good morning, sir.” she greeted warmly.

“I heard what happened lieutenant Dean. I would have sent some of your colleagues to check up on you but I heard it wasn’t severe. How are you?” The chief voice rang from the other end.

“I’m very much okay, sir. Thanks for your concerns.” she smile, if she should be asked about one thing she like about the chief, she would gladly say it was his heart of concern. He cares for his subjects and always makes sure they stay sound and healthy.

“I’m glad. I hope you enjoy your stay off work. Don’t work from home, just relax and pay attention to your health. See your next week in the office.” he hang up the call, not waiting for Kayla to rescind to staying home for a week.

“He didn’t allow me to speak huh?” she sighs and drops her phone back on the table. She adjusts honey in her arms and rubs her little head.

Honey meow into her chest, causing Kayla to chuckle widely. “I guess that’s milk.” she rubs her head, walking down to the kitchen.

She opens the fridge and brings out a bottle of milk. She closes the fridge and strides to the cabinet to fetch a flat plate. Kayla strides back to the fridge to check what she can eat, she hiss loudly when she found her fridge filled with junk food.

“Pizza and milk should do.” she grabs a box of pizza and shut the door.

After grabbing the necessary stuff, Kayla strode to the dining room and place honey on the table. She flicks the lid open and pours a large quantity of milk into the place, then push it to Honey.

She pats her head as honey licks her milk happily. “Do you like it here? Should I tell him to leave you with me?” Kayla asks honey, she swishes her tail which makes Kayla smile at her.

She grabs the box of pizza, about to tear it open when the doorbell chime. She stands up from the seat and walks over to the door to address whoever is by the door.

‘I hope it’s not Ben’ she groans inwardly as she grabs the doorknob.

“Ben!” she groans as if she knew it would be him. She opens the door for him and steps aside for him to get inside.

“Good morning to you too.” he smiles and walks farther inside with a pail of K. F. C. in his hand.

Kayla’s eyes glitter at the food in his hands but restrains herself from screaming out. “Over here, please.” she strides back to the dining room, with Ben trailing behind her.

They get to the dining room, and Kayla pushes the box of pizza to one side, clearing space for Ben to place the food.

“How are you fairing?” he asks, glancing at her cheerful smile. He would swear she was getting better, she wasn’t looking that cheerful last night when he brought her home from the hospital.

“Much better,” she replies, eyeing the food on the table. She lick her mouth as she filled her nostril with the aroma emerging from the pail.

Ben diverts his gaze to Honey, he smiles seeing that Kayla is taking care of her. “Hey, did you sleep well?” he asks, rubbing her head.

Honey makes a happy meow as Ben cares for her fur. Kayla glares hard at Ben, almost cursing him for not talking about the food.

“You can start eating, I bought it for you.” Ben chuckles, noticing the deadly glare she’s giving him from the corner of his eyes.

Kayla’s eyes widen in shock. “You bought it for me?!” she gasp and pull the food closer to herself, not waiting to hear any negative reply from him.

Ben chuckles and picks Honey from the table. “The chief told me you would be staying home for this week,” he says, smiling as he watches Kayla nibbling on a drumstick.

“Yes. That’s what he said,” she says in a mouthful of chicken. If it wasn’t for the aroma, she wouldn’t be eating the food like she has been expecting it.

“So, what will you be doing during your stay?” he asks, he pushes the bottle of milk to her when she started coughing.

Kayla grab the bottle and mouthed a ‘thank you’.

“I will spend my leave at work, at the headquarters, on my desk, doing what I know how to do best.” she smiles, gulping down a large quantity of milk down her throat.

“You were told to rest at home for a week not to spend your leave at work.” Ben raise his voice at her, he couldn’t deal with her obstinacy.

She scoffs while shoving a handful of fries in her mouth. “That’s what he wants not me. I’m going to work tomorrow and that’s it.” She grabs the bottle and pours honey some more.

“Keep on feeding my dear, Honey.” she pats her head, practically rolling her eyes at Ben.

“Do you know what that is?” Ben arches his brows at her.

Kayla shrugs her shoulders. “I’m defying the chief, I know. This is not the first time I will be defying him.” she grins as she remembers how she used to provoke the chief when he was still the lieutenant and she was just a mere cop.

“You could get punished for that.” he sighs tiredly.

“I’m well aware of that. He would punish me by assigning me to gouge into some fierce criminal. I love my work and I love to get punished because it makes me work more.” she licks her upper lips which grabs Ben’s attention. He stares at her lips and gulp hard like never before.

“What if he does the worst?” Ben slaps his forehead in frustration.

“Huh?” Kayla giggles. “I could never get fired. They will never get someone as competent as me.” she boosts proudly. She knew that she understands her job better, and everyone knows that.

“I love that spirit.” Ben sighs.

“It’s a word of encouragement for you.” she cackles as she moves the bottle of milk to her mouth.
