Stephanie needed a good stiff drink.
Darren was a great guy.
Actually Darren was an adorable guy. Any single mother of (what was it now... four?) kids would have been lucky to have a guy like Darren.
Darren was also boring Stephanie to tears.
It wasn't really his fault. He thought Stephanie was a sexy single mother of way too many kids. Hell he thought Stephanie was DJ. Darren was DJ's type not. He was the kind of guy you look for when you are shopping around for fathers for your kid.
Stephanie wasn't.
She was shopping around for cheap meaningless sex.
Darren wasn't that guy.
It was her own fault though. She should have realized what kind of guy Darren was the moment she laid eyes on him in the coffee place and double down on it when he brought her her order that the coffee place refused to comp her. He didn't blink when a second kid popped up. Yeah she should have seen it coming. He was just so damn cute and Stephanie hadn't had a good lay since she had come back to San Fransisco. She had been good and kept her drinking down to a respectable limit.
At least for her.
The date was supposed to be a fun time with a cute guy that maybe turned into a fun night. Stephanie had not intention of it turning into a relationship. She wasn't ready for that. She still wasn't sure how long she was staying in town.
Plus there was Kimmy.
No Kimmy had nothing to do with this.
Stephanie just wanted a drink, maybe some dancing, and then some sex. Instead she ended up with a guy you spent the rest of your life with.
Ain't those the breaks?
As he walked her to the door after their date he kissed her gently on the cheek and barely waited before he walked back to his car. Stephanie briefly wondered if he had been as bored on the date as she had. Stephanie just shook her head and then entered the house. She was actually surprised to see Kimmy still up reading on the couch.
Kimmy had never really struck her as a reader.
Not that she had been much of a reader herself lately.
"Hey Sister-Wife." Kimmy said cheerfully as always, "How was your date with Mr. Mom?"
Stephanie sat on the couch next to Kimmy who scooted over a bit, "Well he took me to a place that had a kiddie menu. I think he thought I would be impressed."
"Ahhh and no bar I take it."
Stephanie did a double take at her sister's friend but saw no accusation on her face. There was just a weird look of curiosity and something Stephanie couldn't identify, "No no bar. And with all the screaming..."
"You could have used one." Kimmy laughed, "Thats what you get for using an infant as date bate."
Stephanie laughed, "I think I used all the kids as date bate."
"He really thought they were all yours?" Kimmy laughed too.
"Sister wives share everything. Don't they?" Stephanie said a little more suggestively then she intended.
The look on Kimmy's face confused her for a second but then it was gone. Kimmy ignored the comment and instead got up and grabbed her a glass of wine she had been drinking. Wine wasn't really Stephanie's thing. It didn't get you drunk enough fast enough but that wasn't the point tonight.
The point was to have a good time with a good friend.
Oh God when did Kimmy become a good friend?
Now Stephanie really did need a good stiff drink.
