Chapter 4

Before I knew it we were home. I unloaded my kids and all the stuff. Then I started to make dinner while they played in their rooms. I was finishing up dinner when Keith came home.

"Hi daddy," the kids yelled as they rushed down stairs and hugged Keith.

"Hi everybody," he greeted all of us.

"How was the beach?" he asked, as he kissed me.

"Fun, like always," I answered.

"mommy's friend played with us," Nate quickly added.

"Damn it," I thought to myself. Here come the questions.

"Who was it?" Keith questioned.

"Ummm, nobody just Beck, some guy I went to school with," I said nonchalantly. Luckily Keith didn't know I dated Beck or anything about him for that matter.

"Oh, a guy."

"Yea, but don't worry were just friends, plus I don't think I'll ever see him again he lives in New York," I answered, giving Keith a kiss. And the lies begin.

"Oh ok, let's eat," Keith said, as he motioned the kids to sit at the table.

Dinner was peaceful and it was a good night, because the kids actually finished up all their dinner. Usually they put up a fight.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'll be gone for a week. I'm going to New York, for casting for a new movie," he told me, giving me a hand with the dishes.

"A week, it's usually only two or three days. I'll miss you too much," I said. I hated it when he was gone. I always found myself missing him too much.

"I know, but it'll go by fast, I leave tomorrow."

"Ugh, tomorrow! Fine but remember to call everyday," I said, pulling Keith in for a kiss.

"I always do," he replied as he prepared the baths.

Then after baths and stories the kids fell asleep. We headed into our room, Keith kissing me softly. And well need I say more, I attacked him and gave him his going away present. It was a fun night!

In the morning Keith was getting ready to leave when my phone buzzed. I went to go see who it was, it was Beck. "What, how did he get my number?" I asked myself. Then I concluded he probably saved my number from when I called him. I dismissed the call and returned to Keith.

"Bye everyone," Keith said, as the shuttle arrived to pick him up.

"Bye," we all said. I kissed Keith and he hugged the kids before rushing out the door.

After lunch

I took the kids to the park after lunch. I was watching them play when I felt my phone buzzed. It was a text from none other than Beck. "Can't he just give up," I mumbled to myself, as I read the text.

I cannot believe I just said yes to this.

"C'mon kids! Lets go mommy has to get ready for a meeting," I said. I felt horrible lying to my kids.

When we got home I called a sitter, fed my kids dinner, and got ready. I threw on a dress, black of course, some make up and heels and I was ready.

"Mommy you pretty," said Khloe.

"Thanks peanut," I said, as I hugged all my monkeys. "You guys be good, I won't be late, I said as I walked out the door. I decided to wait for Beck outside, I didn't want my kids to see I was going to out with him. Five minutes later he pulled up, butterflies filled my stomach.
