Thanks so much for the reviews..please keep reading and reviewing.

The three girls sat sprawled on the floor, pizza, popcorn and cookies spread around them, half eaten pizza. They were too busy laughing and painting each others toenails and half watching ,Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Colleen held her foot up cotton balls shoved between the toes. "Well I don't care what you say Michelle, I like blue." She said wiggling her toes.

Michelle rolled her eyes. "Yea just like you like that nasty pizza with olives and sausage, girl that stuff is rank."

Colleen stuck out her tongue. "Whatever, miss purple nails, now thats weird,,now wheres the glitter polish..I want glitter on top of mine."

Cassidy laughed as Michelle put green polish on Cassidy's toes. "You sure you want green Cass?"

Cassidy nodded. "I didn't know they made green or heck even blue or purple..you guys got some great colors." She said leaning back to grab a handful of popcorn.

Michelle and Colleen grinned at each other. It was obvious to them the young thirteen year old was in serious need of female bonding.

"So Colleen when can we start on the yard?" Cassidy asked.

"Yard, what about the yard? Michelle asked.

Colleen grabbed a slice of pizza. "You know I been wanting to landscape the back yard and get a pool put in, as soon as this house is done, I'm taking some time off..Cass is going to help me."

Michelle grinned. "So you just going to dump me and Cody huh?"

Colleen rolled her eyes. "You can always hire extra help, its not like we're poor."

"Oh I do okay, but your little miss money bags not me, She's rich, very rich Cass, which means she can afford to sit on her butt." Michelle said teasing Colleen.

"Really, are you rich?" Cassidy asked, Colleen didn't seem like a rich girl, she was too normal, she didn't put on airs.

"Yea, I guess I am, my grandfather left me a trust fund when he died, but I hardly ever touch it, I don't need too, and you Michelle." She said pointing at her friend. "Whats mine is yours, so you're rich too."

Michelle grinned. "I know I know, I was just teasing, yea take some time off, I'll find a small place for me and Cody to work on."

"Cool..I figure we got maybe three more weeks, maybe a little longer on this house, then me and you can start on the yard." Colleen said to Cassidy.

"Great, its going to be fun." Cassidy said sounding excited.

Colleen and Michelle grinned at each other, what Cassidy need most was some female attention.

Colleen grabbed the last cookie and shoved it in her mouth. "Hold up..girl you just took the last cookie." Michelle said.

"Too bad, you snooze you lose." She said around a mouthful of cookie.

"Thats so not right." Michelle said and threw a handful of popcorn at her.

Colleen grabbed a piece of the pizza. "You're going to pay heifer." She said slinging the pizza and hitting Michelle in the head.

Cassidy started laughing and was soon involved in the food fight herself and having the time of her life.

Scott stood outside the door of the front porch watching, not knowing where to laugh or cry, it touched his heart to see Cassidy having so much fun, he had been here a good ten minutes just watching, after three hours had gone by he had decided he better check to see if things were okay over here, the way Cassidy could be, he had expected things to fall apart.

But seeing her interaction with the two girls warmed his heart, maybe just maybe, she could come to like Michelle, then maybe he could pursue a relationship with her.

He frowned, but Michelle had never said she wanted more than their romp today, maybe she didn't want anything serious, after what she had been through, he couldn't blame her if she swore off relationships.

He smirked as he watched the food fight, no wonder Cassidy liked the girls, they were just big kids themselves.

Scott stepped in the front door quietly. "You guys are a bunch of brats."

All three girls looked up at him, looking shocked to see him. "Uhh hey Scott." Colleen said first dropping the pepperoni in her hand.

Cassidy looked at her dad, hoping he wasn't mad. "Hey daddy."

Michelle smirked at him. "Hey Scott, hungry." She asked holding up a slice of Pizza.

Scott gave her a mock glare. "Don't even think of throwing that at me."

Michelle thought about what happen the last time and dropped the pizza grinning.

"Well Cassidy, looks like you're having a good time." Scott said smiling at his daughter.

"Uhh yea I am, I didn't know it had got so late." she said looking at the clock.

"I'm glad you had a good time, but it is late, we should get home." Scott said his gaze wondering over to Michelle who was trying to wipe pizza sauce off her face. He sure would love to lick her clean, he thought grinning.

"Hey Cass, lets get this mess cleaned up so, you can go home." Colleen said getting up.

Michelle went to help the two, but Colleen stopped her as Cassidy carried the pizza boxes to the kitchen.

"Why don't you and ram rod, go out on the porch and wait for Cassidy." She said grinning.

Scott raised his eyebrow at Colleen. "Ram Rod?"

Colleen smirked. "Yea just a nick name." She said and walked into the kitchen.

Scott laughed. "She loses some of that shyness, when she gets to know ya huh?"

Michelle laughed. "Uhh yea, might as well get used to it."

Scott walked over and took her hand tugging her toward the front door. Michelle followed him, but she was unsure of herself, what if today had just been a fling for him, what if he had a string of women, the thought of him giving some ho, what she just had made her crazy.

Scott pulled her down on the porch swing, still holding her hand. "Michelle thank you for being so nice to Cassidy, it means a lot to me, and I'm truly sorry she called you those names."

Michelle shrugged. "Water under the bridge, we put it behind us, she's a nice kid Scott, just lonely for female attention."

Scott leaned back and drew Michelle in his arms. "I know, thats why I really appreciate you and Colleen letting her hang with you."

Scott kissed the top of her head and Michelle just sort of melted against him, he had such power over her, his smell and the warmth of his body made her lean on his shoulder. "Michelle?" he said playing with her long hair.

"Hmm?"

"I really want this to be more than just one time sex, I like you a lot." He said.

Michelle shot straight up. "You do?" She asked looking shocked.

Scott frowned. "Do you really think I put up with your bad attitude all week, just to get in your pants?"

Michelle looked confused. She wasn't exactly sure what she thought. Scott knew she was gun shy, so he tilted her chin up and kissed her slowly and sweetly, his tongue teasing her lips, Michelle opened to him, and his tongue glided in teasing her tongue.

Michelle groaned and he pulled her tighter in his arms. "Can I come over later, when the kids have gone to bed?" He whispered after he had pulled his lips from hers.

Michelle looked up at him and smiled. "Yes."

Scott kissed her quickly and sat back, he wanted more than sex with Michelle, she wasn't very trusting of men, he would just have to prove it to her, and he had all the time in the world.

Colleen stepped on the porch followed by Cassidy. "I'm ready daddy."

Scott stood up. "Okay..Colleen , Michelle I will see you ladies, later." He said and turned and winked at Michelle.

"Thanks for letting me hang with you guys." Cassidy said.

"You're welcome honey." Colleen said.

"No problem." Michelle said standing.

Colleen and Michelle watched them get in Scott's truck and leave. " That went well, I'm proud of you, you were really nice." Colleen said.

Michelle smirked. "You act like I'm a bitch or something."

Colleen smirked. "Well you kinda can be, not that it bothers me or nothing."

Michelle grinned. "She's a good kid, and it took a lot of guts for her to come over here alone and apologize."

Colleen nodded. "So is ram rod, coming back tonight?"

Michelle started laughing. "Umm yea, after the kids are in bed."

Colleen walked in her side of the house laughing. "Damn girl you're going to wear it out, in one day."

Michelle just grinned. She was more than ready for round two.

Michelle followed her in. "I think I'm going to on over to my place."

Colleen just grinned. "Gotta get ready, huh, okay..I'm just going to go to bed, you two keep it down, I need my sleep." She said teasing.

Michelle laughed as she went through the kitchen Coleen following. "I'll try my best."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colleen laid in her bed trying to sleep, but her mind was wide awake, she couldn't get her thoughts off Mark. She had always like him, he was her favorite wrestler, but every since she had met him, and took that walk with him. She couldn't get the big man out of her mind.

She called herself every kind of fool, she had seen the kind of women he had married and they weren't cute, they were stunning, like models or something. So he had flirted with her a little, he probably flirted with most women, that didn't mean he was interested in her.

Why would he want some one like her, as Ben had pointed out more than once, all she had going for her was her trust fund.

She was a loser in bed, she had never enjoyed sex with Ben, mostly because he hurt her everytime they had sex, hell their first time, he had been druck and he had raped her, Colleen turned on her back.

There had been things she hadn't even told Michelle. Ben had hurt her , he was rough, and he had beat her a number of times, she had kept it hidden from Michelle, because she knew Michelle would kill him. He had yelled at her and berated her many times, telling her she was fat, or no good in bed, till she felt like nothing, she was glad she had finally got her number changed, she hadn't heard from him since.

Colleen had no idea, why Ben would want her back, since he thought her so pathetic.

Maybe he just was missing her money, who knows.

Colleen continued to toss and turn and finally gave up, she got up and went down stairs and turned on the TV and laid down in the dark living room, hopefully watching stupid infomercials would be enough to put her to sleep.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scott put his hand over Michelle's mouth. "Shh Baby, you'll wake the whole neighborhood."

Michelle really didn't give a damn at this point, Scott was on top of her sliding his shaft into her, hard and fast, how the hell was she not going to scream.

Michelle arched against him, her legs wrapped firmly around his waist. Scott moved his hand and replaced it with his mouth, his tongue piercing her mouth and mating teasingly with hers.

Michelle whimpered, and her cry of release was swallowed by Scott's mouth covering hers.

Scott kept slamming into her wet heat till he felt the tingle building in his shaft to a boiling point. "God Michelle." He moaned as he climaxed deep in her core. Michelle wrapped her arms around him and held him close. "Damn Scott." She said and her fingers traced the muscles in his back. Scott lifted his head. "Hmmm baby, you're killing me." He said nuzzling her neck.

Michelle smiled happily as he flipped over and dragged her in his arms.

Scott closed his eyes, this felt so good just lying here with her, he wished he could pack her up and take her home with him. He had already been here several hours and he knew she had to work tomorrow. "I better go."

Michelle nodded, she didn't want him too, but she knew he had kids to think about and even if her and Cassidy were getting a little friendlier, she didn't think it would be good for her to have the fact that her and Scott were sleeping together, pushed in her face.

Scott kissed her cheek, even as his hands stoked her back. "I don't want to go, ya know."

Michelle smiled and kissed him back. "I know, but you need too."

Scott kissed her one last time an got up pulling on his jeans and t-shirt.

Michelle lay back and closed her eyes. She felt the bed dip and she looked up to see Scott's face right next to hers. "See ya tomorrow, baby." He said and kissed her.

Michelle smiled and when he had left and she heard the back door shut, she gave a little squeal of happiness, maybe , just maybe..this was the one, she had never felt this intensely about any man.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day was rainy and deary, but Michelle, Colleen and Cody got in the attic and pulled all the rotted wood out. It was hard dirty work, it took hours for them to get done. Finally Colleen plopped in the floor. "Now we got to haul it out and considering this is the attic, thats going to be fun."

"It's raining, lets tackle that tomorrow, I say for now we finish up with the bathrooms and besides this we'll be done, the cabinets are in and the appliances are ready to be delivered.

Cody and Colleen nodded in agreement.

They headed downstairs to work on the bathrooms. "Colleen you okay?" Michelle asked.

"Yea, I think I'm just a little burned out, as soon as were done here, I'm looking forward to a break."

Cody stuck his head out of the bathroom. "Dad says you two are dating." He said grinning at Michelle.

Michelle turned red, she wouldn't call what her and Scott were doing dating, but she guess in a round about way they were.

"Uhh yea, you don't have a problem with that do you?" Michelle asked looking concerned.

Cody grinned. "No way, you're great, I'm happy for you guys, he told me and Cassidy this morning and she didn't flip out or nothing." He said sounding surprised.

"Well we sort of met and got to know your sister yesterday, I think she will be fine." Michelle said.

Cody looked at both girls. "Dad has brought home some real losers over the years, Cassidy just as this defense mechanism, she's tired of women using us to get to dad."

Colleen nodded. Michelle could understand why Cassidy had acted the way she had, she was probably used to women, that were just using Scott.

Cody smiled. "Dad finally got some good taste." He said winking at Michelle and then he went back in the bathroom.

Colleen and Michelle started laughing. "You can sure tell thats Scott's son." Colleen said still chuckling.

Michelle nodded in agreement. "Thats for sure."

By the end of the long day all three were dragging as they made there way out to their respective vehicles, Michelle was tired, she had stayed up most of the night with Scott and Colleen wasn't much better as she had barely got any sleep.

Cody gave them a wave as he got in his car, and the girls stepped in their vehicle. Michelle started the truck and looked over at Colleen. "You look like shit, I know why I didn't get any sleep, why do you have bags under you eyes?"

Colleen gave her a fake smile. "I just had a case of insomnia, no big deal, it happens."

Michelle had know Colleen long enough to know when she was being played, she stopped at the red light. "Uhh huh, now tell me the truth, is that worm still calling you?"

Colleen shook her head. "No, I got the number changed, remember, I don't think he can get the new one, I just keep wondering why he would want me back, I mean all he did was call me a loser when I was with him."

Michelle frowned, she had never liked Ben, he had to been to controlling for her taste, but at the time, she had let it go, she knew Colleen was different from her and just figured she liked that type, Colleen had moved in with Ben when they became engaged, so she didn't see them together a lot, or know what kind of relationship they had, Ben had always been a little snappy with Colleen in front of her, she hadn't liked the shit, but Colleen had made her choice, Michelle had tried to stay out of it. "Colleen you're not a loser, Ben was the loser, you're a great girl, you just need to find the right guy and you will."

Colleen sighed. Michelle had never had trouble finding guys they gravitated toward her like bees to honey, so when she met Ben and he was actually interested in her, she had been overwhelmed, that he didn't even look at Michelle. That was probably why she had took so much shit from him. "Michelle, guys don't pay attention to me, they treat me a like a little sister or some shit, I don't know whats wrong with me."

Michelle pulled into their drive way and shut off the engine. "Colleen theirs nothing wrong with you, you're beautiful and sweet, I mean you could have any guy you want, you just have to get some confidence in yourself."

Colleen shook her head and got out of the truck. "I cant have any guy I want, I like Mark, I mean its not just a fan thing either, Michelle I wish I could just go after him, but thats not my way, besides, theres no way he finds me attractive, he just like the rest of the guys I meet, he thinks I'm his cute little neighbor, not some sexy woman."

Michelle walked around to Colleen. "Yes you are, in fact you're too good for that muscle head, you need to find a nice normal guy, forget wrestling, forget Mark."

Michelle didn't think Mark was the type to settle down with anyone, he had a quick temper, and she knew the last thing Colleen needed was guy that blew up at her all the time, she needed a sweet nice guy, not some freak.
"You know I'm tired, I didn't sleep well, I'm going to take a shower and catch a nap." Colleen said.

Michelle watched her friend go in her side of the duplex, she was worried about her, what that girl needed was a hot man to come on to her and fuck her brains out, She was pretty sure Ben was a dud in bed, Colleen just needed some hot guy, making her scream every night, and her mood would improve one hundred percent.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scott picked up his ringing cell phone. "Hello."

"Hey man, though I would check and see if you're still alive." Mark said laughing.

Scott eased his feet up on the deck railing. "Yea, as a matter of fact me and Miss Michelle have come to a very nice understanding." Scott said smiling.

"Finally got in her pants, did ya?" Mark asked.

"Its not like that man, I really like her." Scott said frowning.

Mark chuckled. "Never thought I'd see the day, you got a ring through your nose again."

Scott took a drink of his coffee. "Mark, I really like her, I'm to old to run around with these bimbos, Cassidy needs a woman around, someone respectable, and Michelle is a nice lady once you get to know her."

"Man if thats what you want I'm happy for you, but thats not for me." Mark said thinking about Colleen, since he had been back on the road, he had put things in perspective, he wasn't ready for a relationship, he had done a little harmless flirting with the girl, but thats where it ended.

Scott smiled, his buddy was a chicken shit. "Am I wrong or didn't I sense some interest in Colleen?"

Mark sighed. "Scott I flirted with the girl a bit, I mean she's a fan, I gave her a little thrill, but no, I'm not interested in a relationship with anyone, umm thats why I called by the way, I'm going to stay on here a while, I told Vince I would do some house shows for the next week or so, I figured what the hell, I don't have anything else to do."

Scott was stumped. He knew what he had seen on Mark's face when he looked at Colleen, he figured his friend was running scared, but he didn't want to see his friend stomp all over Colleens heart either, Colleen was the type that would fall hard when she did fall. "Mark if you're not interested in her, just stay away from her...I don't think she's the type to understand flirting for the hell of it."

Mark heard the censure in his friends voice. "Ya know, hanging around them two, has turned you into some kinda girl."

Scott laughed. "Whatever bro..look I'll check your mail and keep an eye on your place..give me a call when you get back into town, we''ll get up a card game or something."

"Yea sure, I'll talk to you later.

Scott frowned as he hung up. Michelle would kill Mark if he hurt Colleen, maybe it would be for the best if Mark stayed away.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colleen looked up when there was peck at the sliding glass doors. She smiled when she seen Cassidy standing outside the door.

She opened the door and smiled at the girl. "Hey Cass, come in, I was just taking cookies out of the oven."

Cassidy walked in and Colleen shut the door. "I wondering could I hang here with you for a while? Daddy and Michelle went out to dinner and I told Daddy I wanted to visit you, is it okay?"

Colleen smiled at the girl. "Sure..I'm getting ready to watch wrestling."

"Cool, I like to watch..I think John Cena is sooooo cute."

Colleen smiled. So Cass had a crush on John. "He is adorable isn't he?" Colleen put the cookies on a plate and poured them cold glasses of milk and they headed into the living room to watch wrestling.

The girls ate and chatted about the different wrestlers and who they liked, when Mark came out Colleen couldn't take her eyes from the TV.

Cassidy grinned. "You like Uncle Mark huh?"

Colleen turned red. "Umm well he is my favorite wrestler."

Cassidy could tell Colleen must really like him. "He called my dad tonight, I have to go check his mail every day and pick it up, he decided to stay on the road for a while.

Colleen did her best to hide her disappointment, she had hoped he would be back home soon. The attraction must be all one sided, if he was eager to stay on the road, She couldn't believe she was stupid enough to think some one like Mark had really liked her, what a dumb ass. "Hey Cass, lets blow this place and go to the mall, what do you say?"

Cassidy jumped up. "Great..sounds like fun."

Colleen smiled at Cassidy's excitement, she knew teenagers like the mall.

She was going to put Mark out of her mind, she couldn't believe what a idiot she had been, sitting around here, just waiting for Mark to come back, and he wasn't even thinking about her.

Colleen grabbed her purse and car keys. She might as well become a nun, it didn't look like she was ever going to have a man or a relationship.
