I don't really know if anybody is going to read this, but if you are a previous fan of mine I am terribly sorry it took so long for me to update. Two years, I do believe. But I was reinspired earlier today and couldn't help but write. So, here is chapter four. Please Read and Review!

"Kelly, please, stay close."

"It's okay, mommy. I'm just gonna find a place to sit." Before Ariana could stop her daughter, the six year old was skipping off to one of the booths by a large window in the ice cream parlor.

Ariana sighed, turning to Tom when he chuckled. He shook his head, handing a ten dollar bill over the counter to young woman on the other side.

"What? It's cute."

Ariana rolled her eyes, shaking her head. "You don't understand, she's not your daughter. Everything is different once you have kids."

Tom raised a brow, taking his change back from the employee and sticking it in his pocket before taking the first ice cream cone and handing it to Ariana.

"Speaking of Kelly's father, where is he?" He then took his cone and Kelly's, turning and starting towards the booth that Kelly had occupied by the window.

Ariana paused a moment before following. There was a sudden pain in her left side at the mention of Kelly's father, but she shook it off.

"That's really none of your business, Hanson." She slid into the booth next to Kelly, watching as the six-year-old took her orange sherbert ice-cream cone from Tom and began to lick it.

Tom slid into the seat across from the two, eyeing Ariana before taking a quick bite from his own mint-chocolate chip ice cream. Ariana glanced over at him before starting on her own cone.

Kelly, who was enjoying her ice cream, looked over at Tom, smiling. "Thank you for the ice cream, Tom."

"No problem, Kelly. I always treat my friends to the best ice cream in town." He smiled at the little girl, who took another bite of her ice cream before going off into a long list of questions, all of which Tom answered happily.

Ariana looked between the two, watching them interact. It was crazy, like something out of the Twilight Zone. She'd never seen her daughter interact like that with anyone before, let alone a man. Ariana had dated plenty of guys in the past six years, all of which left without a goodbye. So, she decided to just stop dating all together. She was tired of watching Kelly go through that heartache. It was bad enough that Ariana had trust issues, but Kelly had always gotten so attached, and as a mom, Ariana just couldn't stand to see her baby so upset.

"What do you think, mommy?"

Ariana shook her head, looking between the two. "What, honey? What do I think of what?"

"I said," Kelly started, rolling her bright green eyes. "We should come here more. Tom and me think it will be fun."

Ariana glanced at Tom, raising a brow. "Oh, really? Well, we'll see how it goes."

"What if I'm a good girl all the time? Can we come more if I'm good oftener?"

Ariana smiled, kissing the top of her daughter's head. "You're already a good girl, all the time. Like I said, we'll see. Now, finish your ice cream, we need to get home soon." Kelly went back to talking to Tom, who continued to glance at Ariana the entire time.

"Kelly, please, don't run ahead like that." No matter what Ariana said to the girl, she still ran right up to the puppy on the leash of another tenant at their apartment building, Mr. Palso.

"Ya know, she's never going to listen if you just keep telling her no."

Ariana turned to Tom, who was leaning up against his Mustang, still smirking.

"Ya know, I already told you that you won't understand unless you have kids. Which, if you keep going the way you are, you probably won't ever."

Tom shook his head, smirk fading. "Why do you act like that?"

Ariana scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Like what?"

"Like a bitch."

Well, she certainly hadn't expected that. "Because, it keeps guys like you away from me and my daughter."

"Really? How well does that actually work?"

Ariana's eyes narrowed, and she turned, heading towards her apartment building. "Thanks for the ride."

"You can't run away forever, ya know. Sooner or later, it's gonna catch up." Tom watched as Ariana took Kelly's hand and disappeared into the apartment building. He ran a hand through his hair, looking at the older man who was, at the moment, eyeballing him. Waving quickly, Tom turned, walking to the other side of his car before climbing in and driving off.

"Did you have fun today?"

Kelly nodded in response to Mrs. Jenkins' question, smiling. "Mommy's friend Tom is real nice. He let us ride in his mutang and even paid for the ice cream."

"Oh, really?"

Ariana rolled her eyes at Mrs. Jenkins' suspicious eyes. "It's Mustang, honey, and no, Ethel, he is not my friend. We work together."

"Oh, honey, please. I was young once, I know all about work friends." She winked at Ariana, earning herself a low growl.

"Things are a lot different now than they were when you were my age, Mrs. Jenkins."

"Mm-hm." The older woman rolled her own eyes before going back to playing with Kelly.

With a roll of her eyes, Ariana looked at her watch. "Okay, baby." She knelt down running her hand through Kelly's hair. "Mommy has to go out now, but she'll be back in a little bit."

"Is Tom gonna come back, too?"

Mrs. Jenkins raised a brow, smirking at the six-year-old's question.

"No," Ariana sighed. "He had to go back to his house for the night. Now, give us a kiss."

Kelly turned and kissed her mom's cheek before returning her attention to the dolls in front of her. "Love you."

"Love you, too." That said, Ariana grabbed her purse and left the apartment. Where was she going? To a date with her "boyfriend", Ty. Boyfriend is in quotes because, legally, she can't actually touch him. She's 22, and he's 16. It's illegal. But, for the sake of being undercover, she can act like his girlfriend, as long as she doesn't allow and inappropriate contact. And, seeing as he wasn't even her type, Ariana had no problem with avoiding any contact.

"Babe, my God, I was so worried about you." The sixteen-year-old pulled Ariana into a hug, rubbing her back. "I'm so sorry I didn't call you earlier, but Johnny, ya know. He was pretty torn up about this whole thing."

Gently pushing him back, Ariana nodded. "Yeah, I understand. Really, it's okay."

Ty nodded, his blonde hair gelled back neatly. "You sure? I feel terrible."

"Really," she folded her arms, attempting to keep warm in the cool autumn air. "I'm fine. Promise."

"Okay, well, you wanna talk or anything?" Ty wasn't exactly the brightest crayon in the box. He may be intelligent, but he lacked the street-smarts.

"Actually, I was a bit curious about something that happened yesterday after school…" Ariana wasn't quite sure if she really wanted to bring this up, but she had to.

Ty nodded, raising a brow as he folded his own arms. The pair was sitting on a bench in the local park, the buzz of the street-light behind them the only sound around them as the sun set in the sky.

"I was outside with Beth when Johnny pulled up in his truck…" She paused, glancing at him before looking down at her hands in her lap. "He seemed really ticked about something. And Beth… Well, she was really scared."

"So?" The teen furrowed his brow. "What are you getting at?"

"I just," she shrugged. "Was wondering if they got into a fight or something?" When Ariana looked up at Ty, his expression was one of anger and suspicion all rolled into one.

"You think they got into it and Johnny killed Beth or something?"

"What-no!" Shaking her head, Ariana straightened up in her seat, thinking fast. "It's just, I know how much they loved each other, and I would just feel horrible if they had a huge fight and then she died. I mean, imagine if you and I got into it and left mad at each other, then something happened to you." She shook her head again as tears welled in her eyes. "I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I lost you like that… I was just hoping that they had made up if there was a fight so that Johnny wouldn't have to live with that guilt…"

After a slight pause, Ty nodded, calm as he chucked her under the chin with a light smile. "Don't worry, babe. They made up. It was a stupid fight. Johnny heard some talk about one of those new guys hitting on Beth, and he got a bit jealous. But everything was okay in the end. I promise."

Well, her cover worked. Ariana nodded, smiling lightly as she wiped her eyes. "Good, at least I know that now." Of course, watching Ty's demeanor after that gave the woman some suspicious feelings. She couldn't help but feel that he was lying to her. Of course she had her fair share of liars, and could spot one easily. Ty was definitely hiding something, and now it was up to Ariana to figure out what that was.

Well, there it is. Lemme know what ya think! Thanks a bunch! And again, sorry it took forever to update.
