you Tyler. “She leaned in and put her cheek on his chest and held on as if he were a lifeline she so desperately needed and just never knew it.
     
    They spent the rest of the night upstairs talking and getting to know everything about each other.  She told him the horrors of some of the homes she was in before Emma took her in and about the amazing life she had with her aunt.  Tyler told her about his family and how he loved them but he just didn’t feel like he fit in.  He doesn’t have the need to be accepted and to have the best of the best and to let everyone know it.
    They fell asleep on the couch in the loft in each other’s arms. It was the most perfect night in Jenna’s adult life so far.
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter six
    Three weeks, it had been three wonderful weeks since that amazing date with Tyler.   Jenna had never felt this way before.  He treats her like she is a princess.  
     
    First he took her to the Museum of Modern Art and she was able to share with him why she loved art so much. Then they had a wonderful lunch. H e showed her the construction for the remodel of the swanky downtown hotel.  So far with him holding her hand she felt she could conquer anything.  Her anxiety had only showed itself once when they were on their way from the museum and he treated her to a nice walk through the central park zoo.
     
    They were at the sea lion exhibit and some obnoxious people causing a ruckus. That had gotten her nervous. Then when they walked further to see the penguins (which he knew she loved from the many stuffed penguins she had in her home) while she was enjoying watching the beautiful birds some kids where there and they were just too loud and there was too much of a crowd.  She started shivering, her heart was racing and she was looking everywhere but at the birds.  Tyler who had been holding her hand the whole time and felt her stiffen.  He squeezed her hand and led her to the zoo exit.  
     
    Thinking now how she apologized and Tyler just held her face in his strong hand and kissed her lightly told her not to worry.  His only concern was her feeling safe.  He was so good to her that made her feel safe which was a huge thing for her.
     
    Even though Tyler told her he didn’t expect her to go on cleaning his home Jenna was in his apartment today, she cleaned real quick then headed to the kitchen.  She had learned from Dean that he loved Greek food.  So tonight she was making him a classic Greek salad with some spanakopita and thought they could spend a nice quiet night in and watch a movie.  She heard the front door open and was shocked to not see Tyler.  Wiping her hands she walked into the living room.
     
    There was an older couple and a younger couple.  The older woman walked up to Jenna and handed her coat to her.  
     
    “You must be the new housekeeper Tyler is raving about.  I’m Mrs. Johnson dear.  This is my husband Alfred and over there is my son Bryan and his wife Veronica.  Would you please let Tyler know we are here, thank you dear?”
     
    “Umm yes ma’am.  My name is Jenna and Tyler isn’t here right now, he had a late meeting at work and should be here any moment.”  She took the pile of jackets she was now in possession of and took them to the closet and hung them up.
     
    Smiling at the group of people she went into the kitchen to finish cooking when Bryan stopped her.  “I’ll have a cup of coffee, and my wife will have some sparkling water, mother is there something you would like?”
     
    “You know I always have the same thing dear.  We will have some tea Jenna thank you.”  The group started a conversation and shut Jenna out.
     
    A bit shaken by the abruptness of how they just treated her Jenna made her way to the kitchen.  She made a pot of coffee and another of tea and put a slice of lemon in the sparkling water.  Finding a tray in one cabinet she put everything she needed on it and carried it out.
