Out of all the bullshit details they could have stuck me on, I never imagined babysitting Bucky Barnes would be one of them.
My name is Joey Prince, 28 years old, no kids, no crazy exs, no living family members.
Studied Criminal Justice for 6 year...
The next day, something dark and primal took over me. I was here to do a fucking job, not get attached to a man with daddy issues or another one with a drinking problem.
But if Bucky wanted to play games with me, I could play games.
I woke up earlier than usual, got my 30 minutes of yoga in with a strong cup of black coffee. When I finished, I raided my closet for something that wasn't a traditional black suit for work. Finally I found a cream colored top I had never worn before, elegant and stylish, only thing was I couldn't wear a bra with it. I would wear it with my coffee colored slacks that slightly hung down my waist.

Once I had everything on, I combed my hair to the side in a stylish wave, and put on a little more makeup than usual. It really made my dark eyes pop.
Taking it a step further, I grabbed my Nomad perfume by Khloe and sprayed it on my neck. It smelled woodsy and spicy. Smiling at myself, I walked out of my apartment, gaining a few appreciative glances from other men in the lobby.
Test one worked out.
Now to subdue the Iron Giant.
As I made the trip across town to Buckys apartment, I saw Wanda helping Danny into her car. She had gotten there early that morning.
I quickly stepped out of my Kia and walked up to her, she stopped and nodded her head as she eyed me from head to toe.
"Wow, someone sure is making a good impression today," she gave me a warm smile.
"Thanks. Did he have another hard night last night?"
"Contrary to that, he's been up since 5 AM. Went to go work out at the gym, got home at 7, got Danny ready for school. Now he's taking a shower for work. So you may get a little sneak peak," Wanda twiddled her fingers as she gave me a suggestive smile.
"I've seen better on the men down the street who ask me for a dollar every morning."
"Ouch. I knew I liked you," Wanda winked at me before she walked to the drivers side. She gave me a small wave as she took off into New York City Traffic.
I smiled at myself from the little boost of confidence as I made my way up the elevator to Buckys floor. Once I got there, I unlocked the front door with the spare key I had.
Suddenly I started to feel a little subconscious about my navel showing, but when Bucky walked out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist, I knew I made the right choice.
