For my other story, 'A baby plus one' I thought I had great ideas for it but I can't think of anything. If anyone wants it before I delete it, let me know.
I thought of a new story..
"Happy Valentine's day mom." 10 year old Emma said, when she walked through the door.
Monica came out of the kitchen to greet her daughter. "Hey honey, how was school?"
Emma hugged her mom. "Good. I hope you got a date for Valentine's Day. My friends parents are going out. You should too."
Monica smiled at her. "You and I will go have dinner." She pushed Emma's hair back. "How does that sound?"
Emma sighed. "I love spending time with you. I really do but you haven't had a date in years. You should get one."
Monica took Emma's back pack off and handed her a heart shaped cookie. "I don't need a date Emma. I have you."
That night, Emma and Monica sat in a restaurant. It was well lit and quite fancy.
"Order anything you want baby girl." Monica said, looking over the menu.
Emma looked over the menu and glanced beside her at a man. "Mom." She whispered.
Monica put her menu down. "Did you find something?"
Emma shook her head. "No but the guy right there is looking at you." She whispered.
Monica slowly looked over at the man. He gave her a warm smile. He was very attractive and around her age. "Let's just order." She said after smiling back at him.
After their meal, Monica asked for a check.
"Ma'am that gentleman that's walking out of the door paid for it." She said.
Monica grabbed Emma's hand and they ran outside. "Sir wait."
He stopped and turned around. "Yes?"
She smiled at him. "You didn't have to pay for our meal." She unlocked her car so Emma could get in. They were standing beside it.
"Well it's Valentine's day. A beautiful woman like you should be out on a date." He smiled.
"Why thank you." She blushed a little. "My name is Monica." She extended her hand.
He shook her hand. "My name is Chandler. Is that your daughter?" He asked, looking at the girl in the back seat that was watching them.
Monica smiled. "Yes, her name is Emma."
"Husband?" He asked.
She shook her head. "No, wife?"
He shook his head. "No." He paused. "If it's ok, I would like to give you a call sometime."
"Yeah, I would like that." She smiled and looked in her purse for a pen and a piece of paper. When she found it, she wrote down her number and gave it to him. "Thank you again for dinner."
He smiled and put the number in his jacket pocket. "It was my pleasure."
When he started walking away, she got into the car.
"What happened mommy?" Emma asked, anxiously.
Monica checked her mirrors and turned the car on. "We just talked." She didn't want to get Emma's hopes up in case he didn't call. "Do you want to go home and watch movies?" She asked, trying to get Emma's mind off of it.
She nodded eagerly. "Yes please."
They went to the movie store and rented a couple of movies. They went home, got in their pajamas, popped some popcorn and began watching them.
Chandler went home, to his large empty house. To his surprise, his best friend Joey was there.
"How was dinner?" Joey asked.
"I figured you would have still been on your date and dinner was good. I met an amazing woman there." Chandler smiled.
Joey opened up another beer. "And did she like you because you're a movies star son?"
Chandler shrugged his shoulders. "I don't think she even knew. Truthfully, it was nice for a change. She wasn't all over me or anything."
"Did you get her number?" Joey asked.
Chandler smiled. "I sure did."
