Lightning returned home to find a bright green sports car in the drive way. Lightning parked and got out. "Bobby?.." He muttered. Bobby stepped out the car and greeted with a smile. "Lightnin!" "Bobby! You're here!? What's up?" Lightning asked. Bobby wrapped an arm around Lightning answering "Well I needed to come visit my best friend. We always talk about going out? So here I am!" Lightning chuckled but declined explaining "Yeah... I know. But I got the kids tomorrow. And a job! Probably shouldn't." Bobby smiled explaining "Exactly ! Tomorrow you can go back to work daddy duties. Tonight! We have some guy time!" Lightning snickered with a smile but shrugged "What the heck. Why not." Bobby was enthusiastic with this and replied "Great! We are taking my ride though. Not that yours ain't sexy. Mines just better."

Lightning chuckled but agreed. "Sounds good Bobby. I could use a night out of the house." Bobby raised a brow asking "Cal being a stiff?" Lightning rolled his eyes admitting "You have no idea." "Ha! Get in. This baby is fast. So hold onto your seat McQueen." Bobby said as the two got into the car. They went to one of the popular bars in town. More of a younger crowd pleaser. Which is what made it popular probably.

The place was loud of music, filled with girls, and smelled of sweat and alcohol. Perfect place to let loose. "Wooh finally! Real ladies!" Bobby said as a few obvious strippers walked by. Lightning didn't seem to mind the stares they gave them. A few more walked by carrying shots. Bobby grabbed two and took them in less than a second. "Thank you ladies!" He called. "Come on, we're goin straight to the back tonight." Bobby insisted. Lightning followed through down the hall ans through black curtains. Leading to a more private room. Only two other men there at the moment and a bunch of girls. A stage where two were dancing together. A girl was carrying drinks and gave one to each of the two men.

Bobby and Lightning sat down. Bobby asked as he drank "So? What did Cal do this time?" Lightning stared answering "You know what? I don't want to talk about it. I'm here and I'm going to enjoy myself." Bobby smiled happily and slapped Lightning's knee "There we go! Now we're talkin." The two drank a few and watched the different girls rotating in and out and dancing. Lightning later admitted "I did it. I slept with Sally!" Having to speak loud enough to get over the music. Bobby stared scolding "What!? No you didn't?.." Lightning nodded. Bobby set down his drink asking "Please tell me this is a joke!? The ex!? i told you it was a bad idea! Whatever. I warned you." He drank then asked "Was it any good?" Lightning snickered, maybe he had enough to drink as he set down the bottle and shrugged amswering "It was great!" Bobby raised a brow "But!?" "But it was just sex!..Not exactly what I had in mind!" Bobby rolled his eyes and motioned one the girls over. She was dressed as a sexy cowgirl.

She came over and started dancing for them. She gave both a good lap dance. Starting with Lightning then moving to Bobby. Bobby couldn't help himself and grabbed her hips. Feeling her grind against his lap. "Wow.." he muttered. Lightning chuckled saying "Don't think too highly of yourself. She gets paid to do this." Bobby shrugged saying "I don't mind." The stripper turned and touched nose to nose against Bobby. Pushing her chest against him. As she stood back up Bobby gave her stomach a little lick upwards but just as she came, she was gone and moved on.

Lightning stared at this other stripper though. She was just getting onto the stage when she spotted Lightning staring and stepped down and came closer. Bobby nudged Lightning saying "Think that one likes you. Go on!" And pushed Lightning up. Lightning staggered a little but stood there as the woman began dancing against him. Bobby found his cowgirl a few steps over and went on dancing with her.

Lightning and this woman.. Though a stripper she looked amazing. Wearing a white button up blouse, a pair of black netted stockings in pumps, neon pink thong, thick black hair and tan skin. Whatever. The woman grinded and pushed herself against Lightning. Her face maybe an inch from his as his hands began feeling her body. The woman didn't mind at all and grabbed Lightning's shirt and pulled it up and off over his head, tossing it onto the floor. Bobby noticed but thought it was great Lightning was letting loose a little.

The woman cupped Lightning's face as her hips did the talking. Then Lightning unbuttoned her top and it fell off her arms, revealing the neon matching bra. Barely a bra. Bobby stared a moment and saw the button and zipper on Lightning's jeans loosen and decided to step in, pushing himself between the girl and Lightning and asked "Woah Light!? What are you doing!? This ain't a that kind of place! You okay!?" He grabbed Lightning's shoulders. Shaking him gently. He wasn't. Lightning was hammered and not himself. Bobby grabbed Lightning's shirt and pushed Lightning out the private area saying "Come on, let's take care of you. This ain't you."

Bobby tugged Lightning, pushing him until they were outside Then scolded "Man what were you thinking!? The press would have eaten that up!? You better hope no one got a picture!" Lightning slipped his shirt back on whining "I don't know.. Bobby.. I just.." He stumbled. Bobby helped Lightning stand up then replied "Whatever.. Let me get you a cab. You ain't right.. Go home, sleep it off." Lightning just groaned. Feeling a head ache and sick to his stomach...

Lightning woke up the next morning, a friday morning, late. He couldn't read them but he had a ton of messages from Cal already.. Everything was fuzzy. Ugh.. Cal was gonna be pissed but Lightning decided to stay in bed and sleep off this horrible head ache and sickstomach. The only time he was getting up was to go pick up his kids. And maybe throw up...

So time came for Lightning to go to the day care and pick up his kids for the weekend. He had to wear his sunglasses due to the hangover. His headache was awful! Lightning stood there calling his kids. He did not have the energy to chase then down today. Cleo walked over greeting "Hey daddy." Lightning glanced at her but right back to his kids. He did not want to deal with her today. Cleo smiled and pointed out in a compliment "Diggin the sun glasses. Let me guess hangover?" she whispered. Lightning stared at her and asked "I'm sorry, are you following me?" Cleo giggled "Ppssshh no. Come on, I'm a single mom. I've had the occasional hangover drop off, pick up before. What do you think these are for?" She pointed to the gold and overpriced sunglasses on her head. "Ssshhh.. I won't tell if you don't." she whispered near him.

Lightning snickered, watching his kids not listening and playing. Cleo lay a hand on Lightning's shoulder and asked "Well.. I would ask if you'd like to get drinks sometime? But.. Due to your current status.. I'm gonna ask if you'd like to get non alcoholic drinks sometime? I'd like to be able to remeber any date with a man." Lightning stared at her and realized Cleo did this every weekend just about. Just like every week he had to Sally.

Feeling a little bad being that he knew how it felt to keep getting rejected. Lightning entertained the idea. "Yeah, okay." Cleo stared. Shocked. Her brown eyes wide. "Wow great! You have my number.. I'll text you later Daddy." She walked off. Purposely swaying her hips. Lightning glanced at her ass. She was so tiny and slim and though the same age, looked so much younger. Lightning turned back to his kids calling "Alright let's go! You guys come on and I'll let you have tv when we get to the house." The kids came running!...

That night, Sally was beginning her usual weekly Friday night call with her online friend, Francesco Bernoulli.

Good evening Miss Sally. How was your week eh?

"Good. I mean busy. I had speeches and the announcement of the campus and meetings. It's un real."

You work hard. I only wish I could work you harder. he winked.

"Wow, Francesco. Getting a little dirty minded aren't you?" they chuckled and joked together.

What are you going to do? Come over here and make me stop?

Sally giggled "Don't tempt me!"

it got quiet for a moment before she admitted.

"Actually I.. Did go on a few dates this week."

Francesco raised a brow.

Really? How was that?

"Okay. Well one was. The other was just horrible. Lightning even showed up.."

He's jealous. He should be. Any man would be lucky to have you.

"Thanks Fran.."

What is wrong? I see your face. It is eh.. Upset?

"I.. I have to admit something to you that... Part of me isn't proud of... I... I slept with someone."

I see.

"Are you hurt?"

Maybe a little. But Francesco knew this would happen. Is it serious?

"No, not at all."

Just needed an itch scratched?

"Yes! exactly!."

Then Francesco asked something with slight pain in his heart.

Why do you not want me to come to you? Are you ashamed?

"I am definitely not ashamed of you Francesco. You are amazing.."

Than what is it? Because you are the only thing keeping us apart.

Sally sighed. "I'm.. Scared. Believe it or not.."

Of what?

"I don't know..I mean for one, what if you came here and we just didn't connect like before?"

Than at least we tried. Although I highly doubt we wouldn't get along. Sometimes fear can be a good thing.

Sally sighed.

"What about work? What would you do?"

Francesco shrugged

Teach italian? I am a good cook.I could be a chef .

Sally giggled "No racing?"

Ehh.. I doubt you would want me working with McQueen. No?

"In all honesty? It would be great if you two got along. If we were a thing I mean too.."

Francesco nodded and smiled.

"What about you? Haven't you tried seeing someone? Anyone?"

I have.

"Oh? Who is she?" Sally asked with a smile.

Her name was Serena. We had one date, one night together. That is all.

"Was she good?"

Why? Are you jealous? He smiled.

"Me!? No. But I do miss you every week just a little more and more.."

Let me come visit. Stay a few weeks?

"No.."

You need a little push eh?

"Maybe. I'm just afraid. Lightning hasn't even started dating yet!"

So?... This is about McQueen?

"Not entirely. But I don't want to cause a fight. And you are YOU! Amazing and sexy you. You intimidate him."

Francesco chuckled.

I know. Francesco likes it a little. No lies.

"Night.. or? Morning Francesco."

You have a Goodnight my Sally...

Lightning was laying on his couch, flipping through channels. His phone buzzed. Lightning glanced at it.

Cleo

What you up to?

Lightning stared at it. Kids were asleep. But then there was Sally. Though.. They weren't together. She did go on dates. Bobby may have been right. Maybe Lightning should move on.

Lightning

Got the kids to sleep. Watching some tv.

He sent that and kind of felt that was stupid.

Cleo

Sounds fun. So, I know we were thinking more drinks next week, just the two of us. But what about a play date tomorrow? With the kids?

Lightning stared a minute again. A play date with their kids?..

Lightning

Where would that be?

Cleo

My place?

Lightning stared at that. Again. Her place?.. Cleo was married to a businessman named Roger.. They built the very over extravagant manson right outside town. But Colton and Cleo's youngest son seemed to get along. it was just the older one that worried Lightning. But what the heck.

Lightning

Sure. Just send me the adress. Best time is after lunch.

Cleo

Oh no need to worry about lunch daddy! I got it covered! You just bring those adorable kids and yourself over around 10.

Daddy?.. That was going to get weird...

So Lightning took the kids over to Cleo's for the lunch and play date. The place was nice. Ha okay huge! Sally said Lightning's new home was built to show off. No, no, no. This was! It looked so modern and yet beautiful. The outside made you feel like you were looking at art rather than a home! And only Cleo and her two boys lived here!

Lightning parked and got his kids out and they stood in front of the home. Lightning kept the kids close because not only was he afraid he'd loose them here, but there was a pool right outside. It was so blue. Bright blue. Lights and outdoor candles surrounded it. It looked like something from a spa or vacation resort!

Lightning pressed the bell and within seconds the large garage size door opened. It was made of a grey stone. Looked nicely made. "Lightning! So glad you four made it!" Cleo greeted happily. She kissed his cheek unexpectedly. "Oh? Yeah? Glad we could too.." The entrance was just a long empty hall. One entire side was nothing but a window. "Wow.. This place is nice." Lightning complimented. Cleo giggled and shrugged saying "Oh stop it please. You've not even seen the place yet! Follow me." His kids were unsure but Lightning gave them a gentle push and the family followed Cleo down the hall. Cleo was dressed to impress unlike Lightning. She was wearing a long pink sleeveless gown that flowed as she walked. heels you could hear but couldn't see. Gold jewelry that was definitely real, and her hair was up in a loose pony tail. Light make up that popped her brown eyes.

"Your kids will love the area I have here. An entire section if the house completely baby proofed. Helen!" She suddenly yelled as they entered the actual home now. So suddenly that Colton and the twin jumped behind Lightning unsure what to think of that! Cleo pointed to the three leather white couches near the tv and introduced "That's Barker. My oldest. He's into video games right now.. And Helen!" She yelled again. "Oh.. Right... I forgot I had to let the maid go hmm.. This way to the children's area." Lightning and the kids followed but now Lightning asked a bit confused "Are the kids not eating with us?" Cleo smiled and shook her head explaining "No, I have a meal set up for them and my nanny Julia will be with them."

"Oh.." Lightning muttered. When they came to the large and luxurious play areaz the kids took off to play! Lightning scolded "Colton, Ece, Landon! Slow down!" Cleo waved her hand exclaiming "Awe let them be. They're perfectly safe with Julia and Mick will have fun with them. I love how our kids get along so well. It just warms my heart." She said softly and patted her chest. "Sense they are settled, we can get to our own little lunch I have planned." She added and brushed her finger across under Lightning's chin. "This way Daddy." she said and slapped her thigh like calling a dog. Lightning stared but didn't know what to say.. So he just followed.

"You're house is just beautiful." He complimented as he stared at the tall ceilings. The ceilings even had wood carvings in them. Cleo giggled and thanked him and proudly bragged "Roper and I built this way back when we first moved here a few years ago. Cost 30 million believe it or not." Lightning's eyes widened "Oh I believe it..I thought your husband's.. ex husband's name was Roger?" he asked. Cleo stared and laughed "Right, that's what I said silly." Lightning stared. They arrived in the open kitchen, dining and another luxurious living space. Only this one didn't have a tv. Just a beautiful modern fire place. "Come sit here." Cleo insisted. Lightning sat down and Cleo brought out a salad and lobster. It was too much. But it fit Cleo. She was this type of person. She wanted the best and always got the best.

"I actually have to sell the place. It is a fortune to keep up.. And I'm not exactly banking it in!" she joked. Lightning nodded and asked as they sat across from each other and eating. "What is it you do for a living?" Cleo giggled correcting "Oh I don't work!? I use to model. I have fragile bones so it's not like I can get on my knees easily." She smiled. Lightning nodded slowly mumbling "Okay..." Lightning was starting to think she was a gold digger..

"I just adore your daughter's name. Ece. It's so unique. No one will have her name. So adorable. I bet you picked it out." Cleo complimented. Lightning just thanked her. "You look so good in that shirt by the way." she added. Lightning had to glance down to even remember what he had put on. Just a regular t shirt. "You work for the racing school right?" Cleo asked. Lightning nodded answering "I'm one of the teachers." Cleo smiled replying "That is great. So great. So tell me? What would be your ideal first date?" Lightning stared. Wasn't even sure. "Well.. I don't know. I've only been divorced a year.." He wasn't going to mention Cruz.

Cleo nodded but asked again "Okay. But what would it be? Where do you take a girl her first date with the famous Lightning McQueen?" Lightning snickered answering "I guess dinner." "Dinner. I love it. So original." Lightning chuckled, muttering as he ate "Ofcourse you do.." Yeah he was pretty sure she just wanted his money. A gold digger. The only thing that was good about a gold digger were usually looks, which Cleo definitely had. And the willingness to please their bread winner. Willing to do anything he or she desired in order to be treated as a spoiled brat. Cleo seemed after the same thing. She lived to be spoiled. So she would probably be quite pleasing in the bedroom. Lightning shivered a little. Shaking the thoughts of actually sleeping with this woman out of his mind. He didn't need a gold digger and he wasn't the sugar daddy type. Was he?

Cleo sipped her water stating "This is going so well. Don't you think?" she asked. Lightning just nodded. "So?.. Do you usually sleep with a girl on the first date?" Cleo asked. Lightning stared at her. She was getting fidgety in her seat and had an alluring smile on. Lightning snickered and just played along answering "Sometimes." he admitted though. Cleo clear3d her throat and continued by explaining "We could.. Almost call this our first date... Couldn't we?" She lay her hand on his. Caressing his knuckles with her thumb gently. Lightning stared at their hands. She was definitely not Sally. Sally wouldn't act like this. But.. Maybe that's what he needed. Someone NOT Sally.

Lightning stared in her brown eyes and pulled his hand away answering "No, not this. But if you'd like? I'll take you on a real date this week? While the kids are with their mother." Cleo smiled happily. "It's a date. Until then.. I'll just.. Have to contain myself. Not to sound desperate but.. I really want to kiss you." She admitted. Lightning stared. Swallowing hard. Wasn't sure what he should say. He was scatter brained but opened his mouth and suddenly he said "Okay, come over here and kiss me." Cleo's eyes widened. Lightning honestly wasn't sure why he said that!

Cleo stepped out her seat, walked around and stood to Lightning. She had to get on her knees and he had to look down at her. She grabbed his knees and spread them slowly.. Then pressed herself between them. Lightning stared deep into her brown eyes as Cleo cupped his face and moved in to kiss. Both closing their eyes, Cleo's kiss started slow and gentle. She pursed her lips and as softly and gently as she could, massaged his lips between hers, starting with his bottom lip, then upper.

She let put the most quietest and softest purr like moan ever! Pressing slightly harder against his lips with hers. Fuck she knew how to kiss! Then her teeth glided his lips.. She gently bit his upper lip and pulled just a little then released only to suck his lower lips on her mouth. If she sucked his lips this good!.. Oh the thoughts ran through his mind.

Cleo ran her fingers through his hair and gasped, taking in his mouth openly and rolling her tongue to find his. Lightning gripped the arms of the chair tightly. It was too much! He needed this to stop now or he was going to get hard by this! Thankfully, Cleo pulled away, biting her own lips and smiling she asked "Was that good?" Lightning swallowed and answered "Yea.." his voice cracked. He cleares his throat hearing the boyish sound come out of him. Cleo stood up proudly and said "Until our first date then Daddy." and turned and walked back around to her seat.
