"Hi Sebastian."

"Mercy. How have you been?" he went to her again but she put both her hands up.

"Fine."

"You look great."

She gave a fake smile and clapped her hands.

"Yay for me. Where's the car."

She walked towards the luggage carousal and Sebastian and Zach followed. Mercedes told herself she needed to stay focused on dropping Zach off and getting out of Charleston as soon as possible. She didn't want to be around Sebastian any more than she wanted to see the dentist. It was a need to do basis. After taking Zach's luggage, he led them to his 2015 silver Dodge Ram.

"I was thinking we could go out to eat for dinner tonight?"

"No thanks if you can drop me off to a hotel until I leave I will see you guys then."

"Nonsense I was actually hoping you would join us for church tomorrow."

She let a laugh leave her lips. "Church? You attend a Church?"

"Why is that so hard to believe?"

"I don't know maybe because in the whole one year of marriage we were together you wouldn't join me once."

He flashed her, his pearly whites and she rolled her eyes. He cleared his throat then licked his lips. "What can I say? I was a fool back then. I keep trying to tell you I have seen the error of my ways."

"And that is what?" she turned to him waiting to hear his answer.

"That I need to be a better father and a better man. And if you would come with us to church that would mean a lot. I just started going and I don't really know anyone but you go to hear the message right?"

"Yeah mom come on." Zack said with wishful thinking in his eyes.

Mercedes looked at her son and felt like she would let him down if she said no.

"Fine."

"Good so you can stay in the spare room."

"Spare room?" Zack smiled.

"Dad has a three bedroom house. It's so kewl because he said that the basement is like our man cave with a pool table and the games systems."

Mercedes felt anger rise within her. "A house? So I guess that is where all that back child support has gone. I'm glad your son and I could help you live it up." She folded her arms.

Sebastian looked at her as she looked away and out the window. There was nothing more he could say at the moment. He knew she was still upset about the past few years and if she was anyone else he would have just let go a long time ago but he couldn't she was the love of his life and despite how he acted towards her in the past he was determined to show her.

Mercedes walked around Sebastian's two-story home and frowned. While she lived in small two bedroom apartment with her son, was barely scraping by trying to take care of her son and here was Sebastian her no good rotten excuse for an ex was living in a beautiful three bedroom, two and a half bathroom house. The living room was covered with carpet as well as the hall and stairs leading up to the bedrooms. The only parts of the house that weren't were the bathrooms, which held white tiles, the dining room with ceramic wood, and the kitchen with ceramic tile.

She couldn't lie and say she didn't love the kitchen. With the island in the middle of the room and brand new stove and fridge, it was a place she would love to be. She felt the counter tops and sighed. She gave in to the thought of waking up early in the mornings and cooking for a loving husband and her wonderful kids. She thought she would have at least three by now. At 29 she was ready for her life to begin so why hadn't it? When had she realized that she let her life be put on hold?

She walked out of the sliding glass doors in the kitchen to the back yard and saw the fenced in pool. At Eight feet deep, it was a standard size underground pool she figured. She stepped off the porch and felt the warm breeze from the trees hit her. She did love the calm of this place. The more she saw of Charleston the more she loved it. She was lost in thought and didn't even hear Sebastian walk up behind her.

"Mercy what are you doing out here?"

Mercedes jumped as she turned to face Sebastian. In the setting of the sun, he looked like the man she fell in love with. She met Sebastian back in high school she was 14 at the time. It was love at first sight. He was tall, mysterious and handsome. Smart and so sweet to her, while others were treated poorly. He was three years older than she and because was so young all they could be was friends. When turned 16 she wanted to badly to be his but he was into her friend Blaine at the time, and she knew any hopes were dashed.

They remained friends throughout the years and when she needed a date to the Senior Prom Sebastian agreed to go. When he picked her up for the dance his eyes widened at how beautiful she looked in her sea foam dress that had an empire wrapped waistline with sprinkled beaded crystals down the dress. Her matching high heeled sandals were covered by her ball gown skirt. Her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail with spiral curls falling to her face. He managed to get out a "wow" before he moved towards her.

He wore a black tux with a sea foam vest which went nice with his her gown. That was the day he saw her for a woman and not some little girl and she saw him as the man she would marry. They danced the night away and at the end of the night, when he walked her to her door. Sebastian looked her in her eyes and told her he could fall in love with her. Then they shared their first kiss. It filled her stomach with butterflies and everything she wished for had come true.

He cleared his throat and she was brought back to reality. She looked up to his 6'2 height and had always loved how he towered over her. The only thing that hadn't changed about him throughout the years was his icy blue eyes. She spent many hours a night just staring into them, watching them soften just for her, falling in love with the compassion and love that shined through when she looked at them.

His body was much more defined now. She could see through his skin tight black tee-shirt that his shoulders were broader, his chest flat and hard. She saw through his black jeans that his thighs were strong and lean. She looked to his face and had to turn away. He was pulling her back in and wasn't even doing anything.

"I just came out for some air."

He stepped closer to her. "You know you are still as beautiful as the day I married you."

"Really and what about the day I filed for divorce? How did I look to you then?" she asked looking at him.

"Like a pissed off beauty" he grinned.

"Funny."

She gave a fake laugh and walked pass him. He sighed deeply.

"Talk to me Mercy please." She turned towards him.

"About?"

"How have you been?"

"We haven't spoken in years and all you can say to me is "how have you been?'"

"I really want to know."

"Why?"

"It was just a question."

"Well here is the answer I have been struggling to take care of your son because you refused to pay child support" she fumed.

"I didn't refuse we got joint custody therefore I wasn't ordered to pay anything." He stated as he saw the anger fill her eyes.

"Except for the fact I had your son full time since." She pushed beside him but he grabbed her arm.

"I was away for work you know that."

She pulled away from him. "So you could afford this house that car all those nice things you have but you couldn't afford to send your son money for food or clothes things like that."

"I am not saying I was perfect I know I was far from it. But that is why I am trying to make it up to you and Zack." She walked away from him and frowned. "How about you focus on your son and leave me out of it." She tried to leave but he blocked her path again.

"I love you and all I want is a second chance."

She could not believe what she just heard come out of his mouth.

"You left me."

"And I am sorry but-" she held her hands up and stopped him before he could finish.

"There is no but here! You left me you packed up your things and you walked out on me and our two year old son. And that was after I took you back for cheating on me. I loved you before we married and even after you left I still loved you wanting you to come back but I was young and naive but not anymore. You are pathetic and I am glad to be rid of you. Your son needs his father and that is the only reason he is here because if it was up to me you would come nowhere near my son. And before you start I say my son because I have raised him while you missed out on everything. You haven't earned the right to call him yours. For right now claim what you really are a sperm donor."

Sebastian glared at her as she walked away from him. In his mind he grabbed her to him and allowed her to feel the warmth of his body. He would demand a kiss from her taking her lips as his own and showing her he was just a man who missed his wife. But he sighed he didn't feel like sleeping with his eyes opened if it didn't go as he wanted so he just looked after her and wondered if he would ever get another chance again.

As she entered the house and walked into her room, she tried to dismiss the anger that grew inside her. How dare he throw around those words as if they could place a spell on her? They had no effect on her now and all she wanted was to leave this place and not return. She went to the window and looked up to the moon, smiling at the sight of the fullness of it. She closed her eyes and prayed a silent prayer.

"Lord please help me. I feel so alone and lost I don't want to fall back into the rut I have been in please let me find the one I have been looking for. Amen."

She smiled and looked up to the moon. Not knowing that across town the love of her life was staring at the exact same moon.

Sam looked out the window and up to the full moon as the girl his sister hooked him up with continued to gush over him. He wanted to focus on anything but the gorgeous blue eyes on the dullest woman he had ever been out with. She agreed on everything he said and kept hinting that they would look so cute together on the cover of Vanity or some magazine he wasn't paying attention. As she rubbed her freshly manicured fingers across his right arm he didn't understand why he wasn't enjoying himself, why the feel of her soft hands on his skin didn't leave him wanting more. His sister picked her out perfect for him.

She had long sexy legs soft ivory skin. Her body was lean and toned. She was the perfect shape from her tight little waist to her slender swanlike neck. She was beautiful so why wasn't that enough for him anymore. Someone cleared their throat and he looked up and saw his teammate and best friend Finn and his wife Rachel.

"Sam fancy seeing you here thought you were in for the night?" Finn walked over to him with one hand in his pocket and the other wrapped around his wife's waist.

"Hey Finn I thought so too when Stacy said she was gonna hook me up I thought it would be next week or something not same day." Sam looked at Rachel.

"And Rachel aren't you looking beautiful tonight." Sam stood and hugged her. Finn smiled.

"And who do we have here?"

Oh this is Sunny."

"It's Sandy!"

Sam looked at her with his hands in front of him.

"I am so sorry."

She mugged him as she placed her cell phone in her purse and stood.

"You know this is not what I expected when your sister told me I was going out with you. I couldn't believe it I thought we would be going out to a party or hit up an awards ceremony but a lame ass dinner come on this is boring. Where are the cameras and interviews? If you ever need a date for something like that, call me. My girl just texted me about an after party for Bonez so I'm out. I still love you though." She got up and smiled at Rachel then walked away. Finn looked at Sam.

"What are you doing?"

"What?"

"She looked like your type and you just let her leave."

He took the napkin from the table then threw it back down. "She was right this was boring" he said exhaling strongly then giving a deep sigh.

"Why did you bring her here anyways?"

Sam sighed "I wanted a normal date whatever that is."

"Yeah and you see how that went."

Finn held out his hand to help Rachel take a seat and waved the waiter to bring him one. As the waiter brought a seat over Sam looked at him.

"Finn what's wrong with me?" Sam placed his hands over his head. Finn looked at him with his head cocked to the side.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean she was beautiful but that is it."

"What's going on here you love the beautiful ladies. They mean everything to you."

"Yeah they use to. But now I want more than that."

Rachel sat strait up. "More like how?"

"I don't know." She smiled.

"Well I do… Finn went through the same thing. You want more than just some trophy girl. More than some beauty on your arm and I think it's about time."

"What makes you think you know so much?"

Rachel laughed. "Because I am the wife of a basketball player who on his last date before he met me said he was tired of the faceless nameless fake breasted women. He wanted a real woman and when he met me he knew I was it."

"How?"

Finn took her hand.

"She wasn't like anyone I had ever met. She wasn't impressed with how talented I was or how much I was worth she was more interested in me who I was my favorite hobby stuff like that. When I realized how wonderful she was I had to keep her."

"But how did you know?" Sam asked with pleading eyes. He needed to know the secret he needed to know how to get his "One".

"Well it started with our second date. I had told her that I was really into Anime which you know and instead of acting interested like the other girls she laughed at me. Called me a dork but still sat there and watched it with me. Then preceded to tell me how bad it was but she was honest and the next date she brought me video that I told her I had been wanting to see. She got me, wanted to know me for who I was and she made me feel like I was the most important man in her life not because I was famous but because I was a man she was interested in knowing."

Sam looked at them wanting to find that kind of love in his life. "How do I find that?"

"You gotta wait for it. She's out there you just gotta find her." Finn kissed Rachel's hand.

"And when you do you can never let it go."
