It seems so silly for me, a grown man, to be keeping what's basically a diary. But, to save face, to keep me feeling 'manly', lets call it a journal, shall we? Besides, the reason for this little journey into writing is nothing silly or frivolous!! It's definitely something that I'll want to look back on when I'm an old(er) man!
Well, I guess that I should back track for a moment here. See, my name's Kenneth and I'm 49. I'm a single dad of two children - both girls, ages 2 & 5. I was planning a little Spring Break get away with my daughters and my brother and sister in law and their 3 children.
Since we're traveling with five children, we decided to hire a nanny to come along with us. Originally, I had asked the high school girl who usually watches my kids but, due to some cheerleading camp, she was unable to go. She did, however, recommend a friend of hers, Raina.
So, about a week before our trip, I gave Raina a call and invited her over for an interview. She blew me away - amazing recommendations and she's a sophomore in college, majoring in early childhood education. My girls took to her like little ducks to water.
And, I admit it, Raina's gorgeous! She's 20, about 5'9", looks to be in great shape, shoulder length hair that keeps falling into her bright green eyes. Mmmm....
Ok, now do you see why I'm keeping this journal? This was a trip that I'll never forget! It's almost like I've got to write this all down or else it'll never seem truly real! Besides that, it might make for a good "Dear Penthouse Forum" kinda thing sometime....
Moving forward again.... We were headed out to a beach house that my family owns, for a two week long stay. It was decided that Raina would ride with me and my kiddos and we'd meet my brother and everyone else at the house.
Raina's very easy going, chatty, bubbly, sweet, funny and the three hour drive went by quite quickly. With her in the seat next to me, I sometimes had trouble keeping my eyes on the road! She was wearing long, slim fitting black shorts that showed off her long, lean, tanned legs. Already, I knew that this would either be the very best or very worst vacation of my life!
So, continuing to move ahead.... Once everyone got settled, things were running quite smoothly. Raina was amazing with all of the children and everyone was having a blast.
Maybe it was just me, but I thought there was some sexual tension between Raina and myself right from the get go. It was usually just subtle things, like she'd flash me a big smile for no reason or hold eye contact with me for longer than necessary.
