Michael woke up at 9:30 am to get his sleepy headed little girl up for ballet classes on a Saturday morning. Making his way down to the little girl's room, he stretched, yawned and rubbed his eyes.
When he opened the second door down the hall, his Hayley was still fondly asleep considering she went to bed pretty late last night. He took a moment to admire the sleeping girl with her toy close to her chest. Michael smiled; she was so tiny and beautiful with her round face. Kinda like her mother.
"Good morning, princess," Michael whispered as he gently shook the five year old.
Hayley let out a soft groan at her father before pulling the sheets high above her head. Michael chuckled.
"Come on princess, if you don't wake up the big angry bear is going to get you." Her father told her. Michael always used to say that to her when she was much younger and refused to eat but now Hayley was convinced that her daddy's pep talks to get her to do things sometimes didn't exactly work all the time.
Hayley lazily opened her dark brown, hazel eyes and looks at her precious daddy.
"There's no such thing as a big angry bear daddy," The little girl said in between chuckles.
Michael smiled and thought you are too smart for your own good!
"I know pumpkin," Michael said before lightly tickling the little girl. Hayley trashed the bed sheets with her tiny feet ticklishly.
"Daddy, noooo!" the little girl cried in surrender.
Michael giggled,"Ok, up, up, up! Go get yourself ready." He said.

After getting dressed in her ballet outfit, Hayley climbed on her small bed and begin to make her bed as her morning routine. Her daddy taught her to always clean up her room when it's dirty because it's her job and that rule has never been broken.
Storming out of her room with a comb and a brush, the little girl went to the kitchen where her daddy was making breakfast.
"Daddy, can you do my hair, please?" Hayley politely asked.
Michael turned to the small voice behind him and settled the gallon of milk on the counter, "Sure, sweetie." He said.
He gently combed the little girl's curly hair and brushed it, "Ponytail, or high bun?" Michael asked his daughter.
"High bun!" Hayley excitedly shouted.
Michael smiled, "Ma'am, yes, ma'am!" He said then did what he was told to do with the little girl's hair.
"Can we have French toast waffles for breakfast instead?"Hayley asked.
Michael sighed, "Why would I do that?" He asked as he finished the little girl's hair.
With her big, bright brown eyes, Hayley looked up at her daddy and replied, "Cause you love me, daddy."
Now that was true, and again this was one of the times where he couldn't say no to her.
Groaning at the little girl, he replied, "Anything you want, baby girl."
Michael started his coffee and began taking out everything to make breakfast for his daughter.

As Michael drove Hayley to her ballet classes, the little girl was singing to 'Hit me with your best shot.' playing on the radio. Michael smiled. She's quite something.
"Pumpkin, uncle Sean will pick you up from ballet class today ok?" He told the little girl.
He almost forgot that he had to grab an apology coffee with nikita this afternoon.
Hayley pouted, "Well, why can't daddy pick me up from ballet classes?" She asked.
Of course, she would always ask. Michael thought.
"Because daddy has work to do at the office today." Michael replied, gently leaning over and kissing the little girl's forehead.
Hayley frowned, "But daddy never works on Saturdays because it's our date night day?" The five year old reminded her father.
"I know that, and we're still gonna go out to a date tonight, but before that, daddy has to cover a few things at the office first." Michael said.
He hadn't even realized that he pulled up at the school building where his daughter took her classes until he looked out his window.
"Ok," Hayley nodded.
"Can daddy get a kiss?" Michael asked.
Hayley rolled her eyes before leaning over to gently place a small kiss on her daddy's cheek.
"Thank you!" Michael smiled as he exited the car to come open the door for Hayley.

After dropping Hayley to her ballet classes, Michael drove to the rental movie store to pick nikita up for coffee. He could use this break for today so he didn't mind at all.
"Well hey there!" Nikita excitedly said as Michael's car pulled up in front of the store.
Her best friend glanced outside the store and looked back at nikita with a raised eyebrow, "Who is that cutie?" She murmured to nikita.
Nikita nudged her best friend in the stomach, "Alex!" She shouted.
Her best friend giggled, "What? I'm just saying, he is a cutie," Alex said.
"Shut up!" Nikita said as Michael walked in the store.
"Hello!" He said, waving at Alex and to nikita he gradually shook her hands and he felt an electric shock ran up his bones.
"Thought you weren't going to come anymore," Nikita said with a smile.
Michael apologized, "I had to drop my daughter to ballet classes and I kinda got stuck in traffic a little bit. I apologize." He said warmly.
Alex cleared her throat at the word 'Daughter' from the stranger she doesn't seem to know. She didn't know her best friend went after the married type now. She simply gave nikita the 'you-better-explain-me- later-'look as nikita grabbed her bag and let out a small chuckle.
"It's alright," Nikita told Michael.
Michael drummed his finger on the table in front of him and replied, "So you're ready to go?"
"I have been ready for hours." Nikita sarcastically said.

At the coffee shop
Michael took nikita to a small café that served the best coffee in town. He knew this sort of apology coffee wouldn't just be that, eventually they would have to talk to each other about themselves for a little even though neither was considering this as a date.
Their order for two cortadito with extra caramel and cream had just come in. Michael smiled at nikita's excitement when she smelled the scent of the coffee. He adored her already even though yesterday night wasn't quite the case.
Nikita took a sip of her coffee and hummed deliciously, "So tell me," She begin.
"Yeah?" Michael asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You rent porn presumably to masturbate too right?" She said.
Michael nearly chocked and burned his tongue on his coffee. Raising his eyebrows, he looked at her "Do you not forget?" He asked.
Nikita chuckled at him, "Oh come on, don't be such a tight ass, we're all adults here." She said.
Michael gasped, "I know am an adult. How old are you exactly?" He asked.
"I'm twenty- nine," Nikita replied.
Michael shook his head, "You're twenty- nine and you still don't know that there are some things that are not polite to talk about in public?" He said.
Nikita smiled at him, deciding to just brush his 'daddy' comment, "If it makes you feel any better, I do it like twice a day." She told him.
Michael's jaw dropped and looked at her unbelievably before he burst out, "GOOD GOD!"
That nikita expected he would say. She chuckled, "What can I say, I get bored easily," She said.
Michael shook his head again. Here's what agreeing to grab coffee with a woman gets him after five years, "Oh jeez!" He said.
Nikita laughed, he was just funny right now, "What? Don't judge, I just have a healthy sexual appetite." She told him.
"Then why don't you get yourself a boyfriend?" Michael asked.
Nikita rolled her eyes, "Actually, I had one, but he cheated so I dumped him but that doesn't matter, why don't you get yourself a girlfriend?" She asked back.
"I work all day and hang out with my kid all night." Michael replied.
Nikita raised her eyebrow, "So you'd rather hang out with your kid than get laid?" She asked again.
"Yeah!" Michael nodded.
Nikita leaned her back against her chair and smiled, "That's sweet. I'm kinda crushing on you right now, mikey." She said in seductive tone.
Michael glanced at the watch on his wrist and grinned, "Can I go home now?" he asked.
Nikita shook her head, "No, now tell me, when was the last time you had sex?" she asked.
Oh my god, this woman! Michael thought.
"I'd rather not disclose that information," He replied.
Nikita rolled her eyes, "Oh come on, stop it, and tell me!" She persisted.
Michael shook his head as if to disagree, "No, I'll be embarrassed." He said.
Nikita raised a questioning eyebrow as she looked deeply in his eyes, "Why would you be embarrassed?" She asked.
"Cause it's been a long time." Michael told her as he looked elsewhere but at her.
Nikita leaned in closer to him over the table and asked, "How long?"
Michael smirked before picking up his glass of coffee, "A long time," He simply replied back.
"Come on, own it, put it out there and I swear I won't be judgmental," Nikita said promisingly, "At least not in front of you." She added with a small chuckle.
"Five years," Michael mumbled.
Nikita literally spilled the rest of her coffee on the table with her jaw dropped. She didn't seem to care that the rest of the coffee was spilled as she burst out, "Five fucking years?!"
Michael hid his hands in his face embarrassingly as nikita took a napkin in front of her to dry the table. He humorously laughed, "No judgment, remember?" he said.
"That was not a judgmental tone, it was an 'are-you-kidding-me-'tone but seriously though, five goddamn years?" Nikita said.
Michael nodded smilingly, "Yeah, since my wife died." He confirmed.
Nikita shook her head, "I'm sorry." She said.
"It's ok, it's fine." Michael replied.
Nikita raised her eyebrows, "No it's not, it's not at all. With all due respect to your wife but you can't live the rest of your life without having sex and masturbating once or twice a week doesn't count as sex. You gotta get back out there and date somebody." She told him.
"No, I don't actually." Michael said.
Nikita nodded, "Yes you do," She argued.
"No I really don't,"
Nikita begin to get up from her seat as Michael pulled out his wallet to pay for their drink.
"Are we done?" He asked nikita.
Nikita took his hand and dragged him out of the café, "Yes for now, but you're coming with me." She told him.
'Lord have mercy!' Michael silently mumbled to himself.
"Where are we going?" He asked curiously and nervously as he stumbled on his feet.
"To your place, I'm gonna get you laid."
