Miles offers his hand, but Haze scrunches up his nose, shaking his head. “Germs and babies don’t mix.”
Miles nods. “Good to meet you. Let’s go.” He heads out the door.
I say goodbye to Haze, then my baby girl. I don’t care if he doesn’t like it.
Once we’re walking down the stairs, we knock on Cooper’s door. He screams that he’ll be right out.
“A male nanny, huh? I’m surprised,” Miles says.
“The other one hit on me, but we’re not telling Adeline that. Plus, she wasn’t respecting Adeline’s place in our family, so we got rid of her. This is good, because Haze’s attention will be on Clover only.”
“Why do you say that?” Miles’s head tilts to the side.
Cooper’s door opens, and he files out with Ellery right behind him. We both raise our eyebrows because she obviously spent the night.
“I fell asleep watching a movie. I’m late. See you guys.” She kisses Cooper’s cheek, runs down the stairs, and hops on her bike, heading in the direction of the hospital.
“What’s up?” Cooper says, seeming his usual self. I swear I don’t get those two.
Miles thumbs in my direction. “Siska got a male nanny.”
“A manny?” Cooper laughs.
I shrug and start down the stairs. “I guess.”
“But he thinks this solves the problem of their caretaker being attracted to one of them and not putting Clover’s needs first. Do you agree, Cooper?”
Miles really pisses me off sometimes, and he’s succeeding right now.
“Is Haze gay?” Cooper asks.
Miles’s eyes widen.
“I don’t know. That has nothing to do with whether he’s qualified or not,” I say.
“Agreed. But you never thought that maybe a male nanny might be into Adeline? You do realize the woman who had your baby is hot, right?” Cooper asks. “There’re a lot of guys who would give their right nut to be with her.”
Does he think I’m blind? I see the looks she gets when we’re out together. Though the majority of them are from me lately because I’m constantly undressing her in my mind.
“And if Haze was gay, he could still be into you,” Miles says.
“I hate you both.” I walk out of the building and cross the street as their laughter rings out behind me.
“Well, you better be prepared for her to get some male attention because Bryce is taking her out Saturday night. And no worries about that ticket to our games. I did some digging and got the seat next to Bryce and Ellery for Adeline for the rest of the season.”
“Shit, Cavanaugh, I was going to do it, but I wanted to make sure she even wanted to go.”
“Sorry, Bryce wanted her there, and it’s my job to give my fiancée what she wants.”
“Remind me not to get whipped like you two,” Cooper says, nodding at someone we pass who gives us a double-take, obviously recognizing us.
I press the button on my fob to unlock my Mercedes. “You’re already whipped, you’re just not getting the pussy.”
Miles laughs. “Neither are you, Siska. I’m the only one getting laid on the regular. No wonder you’re both grumpy pricks.”
“Fuck you,” Cooper and I say at the same time.
I start my SUV and pull out of the parking garage. Hell, I was thinking that Adeline would feel more comfortable with a male nanny, but I can’t have him flirting with her. There’s no fucking way I’ll be able to tolerate that, which means at this point, who will we find to be our nanny?
