"It's lovely, Cody. However, that's from Isla's prom line. I think Sophia needs something more fashion." Amelia smiled as the actor walked around to find something for Sophia. She also looked around for something that Sophia might enjoy. Searching through some of the newer garments, she tried to find a dress that was meant for the young woman. While she searched, the designer Isla walked out and went over to greet her. The two friends hugged and Amelia told her why they had arrived. "We're looking for a dress in either blue or pink for a movie premier. The dress is for a wonderful young woman that cares for our children and will be Cody's date for the event. She doesn't wear too many tight things so we wanted something with a bit of flow to it and she loves flowers so possibly a floral texture or a whimsical feel to the gown. Can you help us, Isla?"


The designer listened to the ideas and nodded. "I think I can. Give me just a second to gather a few dresses." The woman moved around her showroom and called two assistants over to help her set up some mannequins with dresses to show as options. "Here we go. I brought out a few options that I think you might like. Tell me what you think and if needed, we can make some changes." The dresses were brought out and displayed for them. The first dress was beautiful and definitely had the whimsical charm that fit Sophia. The second dress had a similar design but allowed for just a little more curve to be shown off. The final dress was the only pink one with flowers along the top and bottom, allowing for plenty of movement and flow.

Amelia stood beside Cody and looked at the options. She saw potential in each dress but she had to remind herself that this was Sophia she was shopping for. The blonde nanny wouldn't want anything too wild the first time on the red carpet but she'd want something to make herself feel like she was really at a high fashion event. "I'm stuck between the first two... The first dress has such a beautiful full skirt but the split up the side would allow her to show off some leg while the second one has the same feel but is more sexy because of how tight it would fit. Cody, what do you think?"
 
Cody frowned slightly but nodded ever so slightly in understanding. He rained quiet as Amelia talked to the designer and kept looking at the different dresses. He finally stopped when three were put on display to choose from. He looked at them carefully before smiling and stepping in front of the first one. "I think she'll like this one," he said as he turned to Amelia and smiled widely. "It fits her perfectly," he added softly as he looked at the designer. "I think the first one is perfect," he said and sighed happily. "Do you think she'll like it?" He asked Amelia, slowly starting to already second-guess himself. "I hope so..."
 
When Cody picked out the first dress, Amelia smiled and nodded. "It would love beautiful on her." Then he started to second guess himself. She chuckled and walked over to put a calm hand on his shoulder. "Hey, don't worry. She'll love it. I know that she'll be over the moon to wear this dress. I'll tell you a secret... I've seen her looking at magazines and she always finds herself looking for Isla's gowns. Isla is her favorite designer, even if she doesn't realize it herself. It's a perfect dress for her," she said as she brushed a hand over the fabric of the gown. "Whimsical with a dash of sexy... Sounds like Sophia, don't you think?" The woman chuckled as she teased Cody before moving to find a few dresses to try on herself. She wanted to find a dress for the premier as well and they needed to send pictures to Sophia.

After taking pictures in a few different outfits, she ended up picking out a beautiful red gown with a full skirt. She would pick out jewelry to enhance the look later. After walking out of the dressing room in her casual clothes, she sat down on a couch with Cody while Isla went to put some of the dresses away and grab some jewelry to show them. "So Cody... have you thought about what you'll be wearing for the premier? We could look for some suits for you. There's nothing sexier than a man in a well-tailored suit."

Meanwhile, Sophia was sitting at the museum while the kids played in a big playground area with hug jungle gyms designed to look like large trees. She heard her phone go off and looked at all of the pictures Cody was sending to her. The dresses looked so beautiful! She responded to each picture with her thoughts, wishing she could actually be there to see the gowns in person.
 
Cody smiled as he glanced at Amelia and shrugged slightly. "Not really. Nothing too dressy. We can go somewhere and look if you want to when we finish here," he said as he looked over at her. "No full on suit. And God, no bowtie," he said with a laugh as he smiled and laughed waiting to look at some jewelry for the girls. He started shakimg his leg, a nervous tic he's always had. "I'm so nervous," he admitted as he smiled nervously, deciding to text Sophia. Pulling out his phone, he smiled softly.

Morning beautiful.

He sent the message and began looking through the different kinds of jewelry that was brought out. He carefully picked up a medium sized necklace and showed it to Amelia. "I think this is perfect for her," he said softly as he smiled at her.
 
Amelia chuckled as Cody mentioned what he had in mind to wear for himself. She put her hand on his shoulder and nodded. "No worries. No tuxedos or bowties.. this time. I think a pair of nice slacks, a button-down shirt, and a well-tailored jacket would be just right for you. You're handsome enough as it is. We don't need to add too much to you to make you look good." She grinned to Cody and looked to the jewelry being displayed for them. She admired all of the sets and picked out a piece for her dress that consisted of a necklace and earrings of diamonds. When Cody picked out the diamond and sapphire necklace, she instantly nodded. "That's perfect for her. She'll love it, especially since it's sapphires."

Sophia heard her phone chime and saw a message from Cody. She grinned and quickly sent a response.

Good morning, handsome. Thank you for all of the sweet notes. It was so romantic. And breakfast was delicious, by the way.

She tucked her phone back into her purse and stood from her spot, calling the kids off the playground. Once they were done, they walked around the museum a little bit and looked at the different exhibits there were for kids to learn. She showed them things and let them take pictures before they grabbed a snack for lunch.
 
Cody smiled as he shook his head. "We'll see. Maybe a pair of nice jeans and a dress shirt with a nice vest. "You and I both know I'm not a big fan of jackets," he said as he stared at the necklace. "How much is this...nevermind. Screw the price. I want to buy this for her," he said as he smiled softly. He picked up a set of matching sapphire and diamond earrings with a smile, holding onto them happily. He found a matching bracelet and sat down on the couch happily with the shoes ms jewelry. "I'm done," he said softly.

Hearing his phone chime, he chuckled at the message and rolled his eyes.

We've already established that I'm a hopeless romantic and you deserve better than the best. We'll be back sometime this afternoon.

Sending the message, he put his phone away and looked at Amelia. "I'm ready when you are. We can go grab some lunch after this," he said with a smile.
 
"Cody Aiden Wayland, if you think that I'm going to allow you to wear jeans on the red carpet again when you are escorting Sophia dressed like a princess... well, then you've lost your mind. You'll at least wear some nice slacks and then the dress shirt and vest. This is a red carpet event. If Sophia is dressed nicely, then you will be too. I won't allow a princess to be escorted to the event by someone dressed in jeans." Amelia gave him the warning look, letting him know how serious she was. They had just spent so much time to pick out a gorgeous outfit for Sophia and he was thinking about wearing jeans! The boy was crazy. After picking out her jewelry, they paid for everything and Isla promised to have the items shipped to their hotel later that day. They were also told that if any alterations were needed, she would provide them for free.

Once the dresses were chosen, Amelia thanked her friend and walked out of the shop with Cody. They found a nice spot to have lunch and sat down to chat. "So Cody... tell me your true feelings for Sophia. I want to know what you have in mind for this girl. She's become family to us so understand that Mikael and I will be a little protective, not to mention her own family will be too. I want the honest truth about your intentions."

Sophia read Cody's response and giggled, rolling her eyes at the man. After a little more adventuring around the museum and a few pictures taken with the three of them, the kids and Sophia headed back to the hotel. They got back at the same time as Mikael and headed upstairs together. After Mikael had some lunch, they all agreed to head down to the pool to swim. The kids went to change while Sophia went to grab her swimsuit. She changed into the royal blue bikini and walked out with her beach bag and some sunglasses. Once everyone was ready, they went downstairs to the outdoor pool and began to play around.
 
Cody laughed at Amelia's seriousness and followed her out, sitting down and eating. when asked about his true feelings for Sophia, he took a deep breath. "I love her and I want to marry her. But she wants to wait a while and I respect that. I've never felt anything like this before, Amelia," he said as he looked at her. "I'm being completely serious. Like, I feel like I'm not good enough for her sometimes because she deserves the best but I don't want to lose her," he said, his eyes starting to water at the thought of losing Sophia.

"She means the world to me and I just want her to be happy," he said truthfully as he looked down and took a sip of his drink. "She was talking about her parents last night and I could tell she missed them so I figured I'd call them and see if they, and her brother, wanted to fly here to the premiere and to see her," he said as he looked back up with a serious face. "I think she would like that," he said softly.
 
Amelia watched as he spoke from the heart. She smiled and listened to him, offering him a tissue when his eyes started to water. When he mentioned flying her family out to see her, she chuckled and rested her chin in her hand. "Awe, that's so sweet of you. I can tell that you truly love her. You have the same look in your eyes when you talk about her that Mikael has when he tells me he loves me. I'm so happy for you, Cody. And don't worry about anything. Sophia loves you too. She may not realize it yet because her mind is telling her to slow down and think things through but that girl loves you." They ate their meal and chatted about different things before finishing up and heading towards the hotel again. On their way back, Amelia made sure that she drove so that Cody could make the call to her parents. It would be evening at Sophia's parents home so she didn't want Cody to wait too long in case the parents were out or heading to bed.

Sophia splashed around in the pool with Mikael and the kids, laughing and having fun. The kids decided to go down one of the slides a few times so she moved to sit on the edge of the pool with her feet still dipped in the water. She enjoyed the sunshine and let herself truly enjoy the amazing life she had. She was the nanny for two wonderful kids and their equally wonderful parents and the girlfriend of a fantastic and romantic actor. She almost couldn't believe it sometimes and had to pinch herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming.
 
Cody couldn't help but smile when Amelia said that Sophia loved him too. He talked with her the rest of lunch and left with her again. In the car, he made the call to her parents. When a female voice answered, he smiled softly. "Umm... Mrs. Miller? I assume this is Sophia's mother," he said slightly nervously. "This is Cody Wayland, a umm...friend of your daughter's," he said with a smile. "A friend of Sophia's? By the uncertainty in your voice I wouldn't say just friend. Am I right?" She asked but Cody could hear the smile in her voice. After a brief pause, he smiled. "Yes ma'am.. Anyway, we were talking last night and she was talking about you and I could hear how much she missed her family. I was wondering if you, her father and brother would want to fly out here to see her completely expense free. A movie I'm filming is premiering in a couple of weeks am I thought it would be a surprise for her since its been so long. You won't have to pay for anything. Flight, room, clothes for the premiere, nothing. I'll take care of it all," he said nervously. "A chance to see my daughter? We would love to!" She said happily. "Great. Just be at the airport this coming Monday," he said with a smile. They said their goodbyes and he hung up. "Where to boss?"
 
Amelia listened to Cody as he spoke to Sophia's mother. She had talked to the woman before when Sophia had originally been assigned to their home to help calm the woman's fears about her daughter working for a celebrity. The two had gotten along very well and Amelia occasionally sent her emails to let her know how well Sophia was doing. When Cody finished up the call, she chuckled and smiled to him. She was so proud to have Cody as a close friend. "Where to? We're heading back to the hotel, silly. I want to see my husband and kids while I bet you're itching to get to Sophia." They got back to the hotel not too long after that. Getting out of the car, Amelia looked over to see the kids on one of the pool slides. "There they are. Everyone's by the pool." Walking over to the pool, she used her room key to get in the gated entrance and walked over to wave to the kids. "Hi sweeties! Mommy is back!" She moved to where Mikael was sitting on a lounge chair reading and plopped herself down on his lap to steal a kiss.

Sophia turned her head when she heard Amelia calling out to the kids. If Amelia was home, that meant that Cody was back. She saw him following behind her and beamed in delight. Getting up from the edge of the pool, she wrapped her beach towel around her swimsuit before walking over to meet Cody with a hug and a kiss. "Hi honey. Did you have fun shopping with Amelia? I missed you."
 
Cody laughed lightly and rolled his eyes. He remained silent until they got to the hotel. When he got out, he followed Amelia over to the pool area and smiled softly when he saw Sophia walk over to him. He wrapped his arms around her waist gently and returned the kiss, holding onto her tightly as he acted dramatic. "Never put me through that again! I thought I was going to die!" He said before laughing lightly and picking her up, carrying her back over beside the pool. "It wasn't that bad," he said as he set her down and gave her another kiss. He watched the kids get out of the pool and run over to their mother, causing Cody to frown playfully. "I see how it is," he said as he turned his head, laughing when they went over and hugged him.

Returning the hug, he kissed Sophia's cheek and smiled. "I'm gonna go change into something more comfortable," he said with a smile as he headed inside and up to his suite. After changing into a loose sleeveless muscle shirt and a pair of sweats, he ran back down and scooped Sophia up. He sat in a lounge chair and held her in his lap and kissed her gently.
 
When Cody put on the dramatic act, Sophia couldn't help but laugh. She hugged him close and let him pick her up while she ran a hand through his hair and kissed his cheek. "My poor thing.." When he carried her closer to the pool and the group, she watched him joke with the kids when they ran to Amelia first. She gently nudged his shoulder and rolled her eyes. "It's not like she's their mother or anything. Besides, I greeted you. Doesn't that count?" She let the kids hug him and before they began to tell Cody and their mom about the adventures they had at the museum. Sophia nodded to Cody as he mentioned going to change. When he came back, she opened her arms for him and giggled as he scooped her up and moved to sit with her in his lap.

Sophia returned the kiss and leaned against his chest as they relaxed in the sunshine. The kids returned to playing in the pool, Mikael joining them while Amelia went to change into her bathing suit. Sophia watched and rested her head on Cody's chest. "I really like the dress that Amelia picked out. It's so beautiful. Red looks like such a wonderful color on her." Closing her eyes, she let herself relax in his arms while listening to the kids playing.
 
Cody smiled and nodded happily. "That it is," he said softly as he gently rubbed her side. He kissed the top of her head as he watched the kids. "Tonight, I wanna test some styles for your hair for the premiere," he said softly as he rested his arms around her, enjoying her soft skin. He closed his eyes and rested his head on hers, slowly dozing off for a small nap. He woke up an hour later and gently got up with Sophia. "Don't wanna get too much sun," he said softly as he carried her inside and up to his suite, setting her on the kitchen counter with a smile. "Whatcha wanna do?" He asked with a grin.
 
She grinned and nodded when he wanted to try new hairstyles. "Sounds like fun." Settling into his arms, she nuzzled his neck and fell asleep. She could still hear the family nearby but she was drifting in this state of subconsciousness. She woke up to Cody picking her up from the lounge chair and mentioning that they would be heading inside. She waved to Mikael and Amelia as he carried her upstairs.

He put her on the counter and she brushed her hand through her hair. "I dunno. Would you like to play with my hair now or do you wanna wait until after dinner? I was thinking that we could make something together tonight." She leaned forward to steal a kiss before hopping down from the counter. As she hopped down, the towel she had wrapped around her fell to show off her bikini. Blushing a little bit, she looked down at the towel before glancing up to see Cody's reaction.
 
Cody smiled at her and kissed her back gently. "Why not both?" He asked with a smile and hugged her gently. When she hopped down, he watched the towel fall and stared for a brief second before meeting her eyes. Without a word, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. He kissed her passionately before pulling back and resting his forehead against bees, catching his breath. "You are too beautiful for your own good," he whispered softly to her as he gently caressed her sides. "It's taking everything I have to respect your wishes," he added quietly, smiling softly ashe kissed her shoulder. "I'm gonna make you mine one day," he promised her as he moved his lips up to her neck then her jaw and her lips.

He picked her up and carried her to the couch. Sitting her down, he pulled his shirt off and went into the bathroom, finding the straightener and curling iron that were in every room. He walked back out and sat down kissing her deeply before moving her in front of him.
 
She felt him pull her close and kiss her, her hands moving to rest against his chest gently. Pulling back from the kiss, she blushed at his compliment before tilting her head to the side to offer him more of her skin. His lips trailed over her shoulder, up her neck and to her lips. She smiled and curled up in his arms as he carried her to the couch. She sat down and watched him take off his shirt. When he walked into the bathroom, she grabbed his shirt and tugged it on over her bikini. The shirt smelled like Cody. She hugged it around herself and moved to sit in front of Cody when he came back in with the curling iron and straightener. "So what did you have in mind for hairstyles? I was thinking about it but I couldn't figure out what would look nice because I'm not sure what I'll be wearing. I need to wait until we get back to the house tomorrow to see what I can borrow from Amelia."
 
Cody smiled softly as he plugged them up and kissed her head. "Maybe something curled but you just let me worry about that," he said softly he began brushing out her hair and beginning to curl it back. He heard the phone ring and sat the curling iron down, answering it. "Hello? Okay I'll be right there," he hung up and kissed her head. "I'll be right back. There's nothing to worry about," he said and walked out, running downstairs. He grabbed the dresses and the jewelry before taking them to Amelia and Mikael's suite, leaving the dresses there for the time being as well as Amelia's jewelry. He went back to his suite and into his room, finding one of his ties and walking back out, tying it around Sophia's eyes. "Don't worry about finding something to wear. This is just the start," he said softly as he gently put the necklace around her neck and grabbing the mirror. Taking the makeshift blindfold off her, he handed her the mirror.
 
Sophia grinned and nodded when he mentioned curls. She loved when her hair was curled properly. She could never get it to curl well by herself but if anyone else did it, it stayed perfectly. She sat still and closed her eyes, letting herself enjoy the sensation of the brush moving through her hair before he started to curl it. She had fairly thick hair so it took a little while. When he finished, she heard his phone ring and turned to look over her shoulder as he answered the phone. When he left and promised that nothing was wrong, she smiled and thanked him. While he left, she started to play with her phone.

She heard Cody come back but didn't look up from her game because she was at a point where she couldn't pause. Then everything went black as Cody tied the necktie over her eyes. She gasped and dropped her phone. "C-Cody? What's going on?" An instant jolt of fear raced through her and she feared that it might not be Cody behind her. Then she heard his voice behind her and she relaxed, feeling him put something around her neck. She reached up to touch what felt like a necklace. When he removed the blindfold and handed her the mirror, she held it up and gasped at the sight of the sapphire and diamond necklace. Sophia stared at it for a long moment before turning to Cody. "Is this... for me? Are these real diamonds and sapphires?"
 
Cody smiled slightly at her reaction and nodded ever so slightly in response to both of her questions. "You only deserve the best," he whispered softly as he pulled her up and kissed her gently. He handed her the boxes with the earrings and the bracelet. "All for you," he whispered softly as he turned her around and gently braiding her hair into a waterfall braid. "I like this," he said softly as he kissed her shoulder.

When he finished, he wrapped her up in his arms and turned the tv on, smiling as he watched tv quietly. He took a deep breath, trying to figure out how he could tell her his true feelings. He ran his hands through her hair, smiling softly as he whispered sweet things in her ear. "You are amazing. You are beautiful. You are perfect. You are sweet. You have a beautiful smile. You have beautiful hair. You look amazing in anything," he whispered softly and kept going happily.
