I do not own Glee or any of its characters.

Wednesday September 2nd (One week earlier)

Using my hands and hips, I have her pinned against my black Lexus LX 570 as I lick, suck and gently bite her soft luscious lips. "Baby I need you. I don't know how much longer I can take it." She turns her head slightly and I take the opportunity to gently bite her neck. "I need to be balls deep inside you like yesterday." I bring my right hand up and cradle her left breast as I begin sucking and nipping on her neck. "You have Ally this weekend?"

"Yes, but she's going to a sleepover Friday night." She slides her hands underneath the back of my suit jacket placing her hands on my lower back while I trail my tongue from her neck to her jaw line. "Will you have Zack Friday night?"

I still and look at her. "Shit." I slowly nod my head. "I'll have him Friday night then he is going to his mother's on Saturday." I move my mouth back to her neck. "But he is old enough. I can leave him for a few hours to-"

"Nope." She gently pushes against my chest, closes her eyes and shakes her head. "We agreed remember. Time with the kids trumps everything else."

I open my mouth to protest but then just stop. "I must have been drunk when I agreed to that. Those little cock blockers just don't know."

She swats me hard on the ass as she lowers her head against my chest and laughs. "Sam Evans, I cannot believe you just said that."

I chuckle as I take her chin between my fingers and raise her head. "I speak the truth woman." I arch an eyebrow at her. "Maybe we can forego one of our lunch dates and meet at my place." She looks in my eyes as she considers my suggestion. A gentle breeze kicks up and blows through her hair causing me to slowly inhale and study her. I tilt my head to the side. Her dark brown eyes, cute button nose and those delicious, plush, soft lips. "Nah, scratch that. I'm going to need a hell of a lot more than an hour. I need a whole fucking night with you. Just you and me and no interruptions. So, we need to make this happen soon before I have to resort to abduction." Her hands return to my back.

"We'll find some time babe." She places a loud, wet kiss against my neck. "But right now, I need to get back to the office." I poke out my bottom lip in a small pout and groan. She leans up and sucks it into her mouth. I grab her head with both hands as my tongue plunges deep into her mouth. My action startles her for a second but she quickly recovers. She sucks on my tongue as her hands move around from my back to my sides. Her fingertips trail up the sides of my torso and then back down as I feel her drawing away. I groan in protest as she mumbles into my mouth. "Call me later?"

"You know I will beautiful." She plants several quick pecks on my lips as I ease my hips off her. Her hands slowly fall away from my sides and I allow my right hand to trail down from her head to her back and then to her ass. I hold it for a few moments and then allow my fingers to linger as she moves over to climb into her red Ford Edge. "Drive safe baby."

"You too." I open the door as she gets in her car. I close the door behind her while she starts the engine and lowers the window. "I miss you already."

I bend down and give her another quick kiss. "Me too baby." She shifts the car into drive and pulls slowly away as she lightly taps on her car's horn. I wave at her as I climb into my car and make my way back to my office.

I arrive back at work and use my private elevator to enter my office unnoticed. I remove my suit jacket and hang it on the coat rack next to the back entrance to my office. Once I sit down at my desk, I call my assistant, Harriett.

"Yes Mr. Evans, sir?"

"Harriett, I'm back from lunch. Can you step into my office for a moment?"

"Yes sir." A few seconds later there is a knock on the door.

"Come in."

She appears and walks toward my desk. "Did you have a good lunch sir?"

"Yes, I did in fact. Any calls or messages while I was out?"

"Yes. Thomas in HR wanted to know if you could move your two o'clock to two-thirty Sven in IT said your laptop will be ready by three and that he would deliver it personally. I confirmed your meeting with Rose and Potts at the Hyatt conference center on the 16th from three to seven. And Mr. Williams the principal at Wallingford High called and asked to set up a meeting with you next week."

"Did he say what it was about?"

"No, he did not. Would you like me to call and get more information?"

"Yes, please and let me know as soon as you find out the reason for the meeting. Let Thomas know two-thirty is fine and for the meeting at the Hyatt please reserve the Alexander room. I'll probably want to get some food delivered as well but I'll confirm that with you by the end of next week. Also, can you have someone from maintenance come up and take a look at my elevator? There's a knocking sound above the car when it's in motion."

"Yes, sir. I'll have Howard come look at it immediately."

"Thanks Harriett." My phone chimes and I glance over at it to see a message from my girl. "That will be all." I pick up my phone but still when I notice that Harriett hasn't moved. I look up at her with a confused stare and she lowers her eyes to the floor. "Is there something else?"

"Mr. Evans you have a visitor. The former Mrs. Evans has been waiting to see you for a little over an hour."

I place my phone back on the desk, audibly groan and close my eyes as I sit back in my chair. What the fuck does she want? I don't want to deal with her right now. Not on the heels of such a fantastic lunch date. Opening my eyes, I rest my elbows on the arms of the chair and lace my fingers across my stomach. I look over at her. "I'll call you to let you know when to show her in. She can wait a little longer."

"Yes sir." She turns to leave.

My voice calls out to her as she nears the door. "You know, the afternoon should be pretty quiet so once you've cleared any pressing tasks take the rest of the day off and enjoy!"

"Sir?"

"You heard me right. You've more than earned it."

"Thank you, Mr. Evans." I nod and smile at her as she exits. I pick my phone back up to read my baby's message.

Just wanted you to know that I've been subjected to smirks and school boy giggles thanks to your vampire-ish ways So thanks!

I grin as I remember marking her neck while she was pinned against my car. I send her a response.

Aww baby you're more than welcome. I couldn't help myself plus it was a good way of letting all those fuckers know that you're taken

Payback's a bitch. Remember that

Well don't threaten me with a good time *wink* *wink*

Ass

Yes please

?

I'll have some ass, some pussy and some titties. Do you deliver?

LOL you're a fool. I'm getting back to work now. Talk later

Talk later darlin'

As I am responding to an email I look up at the time on my computer monitor and see it is 2:15. I call Harriett and tell her she can show the uninvited visitor into my office. I hang up the phone and begin proofreading the email. A soft knock on the door sounds and then the door opens. "Have a seat. I'm finishing up something here so just give me a few more seconds."

"Sure." She sits and then places her purse on the small table situated between the two chairs in front of my desk.

I re-read the email again from the beginning and then press the send icon. "So, to what do I owe this visit?"

"I just wanted to stop by and see how you are."

"I'm great."

"That's good to hear. And how are your folks?"

I shake my head. "No, we are not going down that road. This isn't a social hour. I have another meeting in about…" I glance quickly down at the clock. "Thirteen minutes so can you get to the point?"

"Must you always be so hateful towards me?"

"How am I supposed to be toward you?"

"Forgiving. I made one stupid drunken mistake six years ago."

"And I forgave you a long time ago." I stand, walk around my desk and then lean against the edge crossing my arms against my chest. "Is that why you are here? To ask for my forgiveness?"

"Partly." She clears her throat and then looks up at me. "So, what do we do now?"

"Do about what?"

"About getting back together."

I tilt my head and narrow my eyes at her. She cannot be serious. She looks at me with those hopeful eyes that I know so well. She is serious. I uncross my arms and grip the edge of my desk. Leaning slightly forward, I lower and shake my head at her admission. I didn't mean it, but I cannot contain the laughter that begins to build within me. I bring my head back up and look at her. "Please tell me that this is some kind of joke."

"Why would it be a joke?"

I chuckle. "Look, yes I've forgiven you but that in no way means that we are getting back together. The only relationship we will have will be as co-parents to our son. You remember him, right? You know the one you haven't mentioned once since you walked into my office? You need to focus on being the best mother you can be for his sake and get over any thoughts you have of us getting back together because it simply is not going to happen. Ever. I've moved on and more importantly, I'm not interested."

"How can you just throw all of our history away like that? You were my first everything Sam. We belong together."

"Was I the first man you cheated on?" I glare at her as she lowers her head. I exhale gruffly. "Sorry but I'm not going through this again. The moment you thought it was OK to spread your legs and fuck that random guy in our bed was the moment you gave up any chance to be with me again. I thought you would have moved on by now, but I guess not." A beep sounds from my desk phone. "Look, my next appointment is here so I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

"Can we talk about this some more later?"

"There's no need. I've said everything I need to say."

"What about what I need to say?"

"What do you need to say?"

"That I'm sorry."

"Oh, well yeah. That fixes everything. You should have said that a long time ago. Oh wait, you did and like then those words mean absolutely nothing to me." I stand and walk over to the door. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have another meeting." I open the door and gesture for her to leave. She picks up her purse, stands and slowly walks toward me. She leans over just as she reaches me and smiles.

"You just need a little bit more time Sammy and I am willing to give you that." She places her hand on my forearm. "I promise when we are back together I will make up for all the hurt that I caused you. And don't forget, I remember just how you like it." She winks at me as she leaves.

I sigh softly and shake my head as I look up to greet Thomas. I reach out my hand to him and he shakes it. "Come on in Tom. Sorry to keep you waiting." He enters the room as I tell Harriett to have a good evening.

After finishing up my workday, I am home and stretched out at one end of the couch while Zack is stretched at the other. We've just finished dinner and I'm scrolling through the on-screen television guide for something to watch.

"There's nothing good on Dad. Let's find something on Netflix."

I toss the remote to him. "Knock yourself out." He catches the remote and begins scrolling through the screen icons for Netflix.

"So, Dad I've been meaning to ask you something. You really like Cedes, don't you?"

I grin to myself as images of our lunch date pop-up in my head. "I do."

"I like her too. She's fun. I like how she puts you in your place." He chuckles under his breath.

"Only because I let her." I nod affirmatively at him. "I'm glad you like her. I know she likes you too and you and Ally seem to get along great."

"Yeah Ally-Oop is cool. It doesn't hurt that she is into Superman too." He clears his throat before continuing. "So, is Cedes like your girlfriend?"

"I think I'm a little too old to refer to her as my girlfriend, but I guess that is what she is. She is the woman that I hope to have around for a very, very long time. How would you feel about that?"

"I would be happy with that." He selects Transformers and then starts the movie. "So, when are you going to tell her?

"Soon son. I promise I will do it soon."

"Good cause I'm ready to go home." We watch the movie for a few minutes before a chime sounds from my phone. I pick it up off the table.

Baked chicken alfredo with salad and breadsticks ok for dinner tomorrow?

"Hey Zack attack, baked chicken alfredo, salad and breadsticks sound good for dinner tomorrow?" He nods. I begin typing a response to her but stop when I hear him talking again.

"Tell her that her favorite Evans man would love some of those peanut butter chocolate chip cookies too." I playfully narrow my eyes at him and he laughs as I throw one of the couch pillows at his face.

Sure and your fav Evans man would also love some of your peanut butter chocolate chip cookies

Oh yeah? Well tell Zack I said hi and the cookies will be waiting for him

Ouch but that's ok because this Evans man wants some of your other cookie *wink* *wink* I already know it will be my favorite.

Oh and which cookie would that be

You know the one with the cream filling.

OMG you are so crazy

Maybe but I speak the truth and just so you know the cream filling is my favorite part. I will spend hours trying to get to it and then just as long enjoying every last bit

Zack chucks the pillow back at me hitting me on the head. "Are you going to watch with me or are you going to continue to text your 'not sure what to call her' girlfriend?"

Sorry baby gotta go.. my little cock blocker is giving me the eye. Call you at bed time

LOL K talk to you then

About thirty minutes into the movie, I feel his eyes on me, but I don't look up to meet them. "Do you love her Dad?" Through my peripheral vision, I see him watch me for a few seconds before he turns his head back toward the television.

His question catches me completely off guard. I stare at the screen for a few moments. I do love her, but I haven't told her yet. Should I tell him before I tell her? I don't want to be dishonest with him. He and I have always been open and honest with each other about everything, so I don't want to change the foundation of trust I've built with him especially after all of the bullshit he had to endure behind his mother's infidelity. I exhale and look over at him. I wait until he looks up at me before answering his question. "I do Zack. I really do. I just haven't told her yet."

"Why not?"

"Mainly because I don't want to scare her off but also because I'm a little afraid that she doesn't feel the same way. We've only been seeing each other for a few months."

He nods and then turns his eyes back to the television screen as I do the same. "I think you should tell her."

"I'm planning to. I've just got to tell her everything else first."

He turns to look at me again. "She won't care Dad. I could tell that from the start. And you. The way you look at her and act around her. I've never seen you like that with anybody not even with mom. She has turned you into the cool, fun dad!"

I chuckle as I look over at him. "Oh, so I used to be the mean, boring dad?"

"No, not mean. More like the serious, work-a-holic dad. Before, we didn't go out much. Our weekends were mainly me inviting friends over while you worked. Now, we go out almost every weekend. It's great. We have dinner and game nights with Cedes and Ally and it's like the best time I've ever had."

"It is for me too buddy." I turn back to the television and smile to myself at the conversation we are having then I look back over at him. "I'll tell you what, I'm going to work on making both Cedes and Ally permanent fixtures in our lives. You just have to be patient."

"Cool." He smiles and flips the remote in his hand. "Just don't mess it up dad."

"So happy to know how much confidence you have in me son." I toss the pillow back at him.

He laughs. "And if you need any help from Cedes' favorite Evans man just let me know."

"Yeah, I'll keep that in mind." I chuckle and shake my head.

After saying good night to Zack, I take a shower and then climb into bed. I pick up the phone and make my usual night time call. She answers after a couple of rings. "Hey you."

"Hi beautiful. How are you?"

"I'm good. I was just laying here waiting for your call. How was your evening?"

"It was fine. How was yours?"

"It was good. Ally and I had an interesting conversation."

"Oh yeah? About what?"

"About us. She wanted to know if you were my boyfriend."

"And what did you tell her?"

"I told her yes. I mean you are, aren't you?"

"You bet your ass I am but there's nothing boy about me." I pause and chuckle at the eye roll I know she just gave me. "Interestingly enough, Zack and I had a similar conversation."

"And what did you tell him?"

"That I was too old to have a girlfriend but that's what you are."

"They planned that."

"Of course they did. It's just too coincidental for it not to have been."

"Yeah I know."

"I also learned that I used to be a boring dad. But now because of you I am the cool, fun dad."

"So my coolness is rubbing off on you huh?"

"Seems so. I just wish something else of yours was rubbing up on me right now."

"I swear I have to watch everything I say around you."

"No you don't. Just go with it."

She giggles. "Did you and Zack talk about anything else?"

My mind races. I bet Ally asked her if she loved me. I wonder what her answer was. "Not really. We were watching Transformers."

"Well Ally started in on Metropolis again. I think we should at least get the trip planned. What do you think?"

"Sure, sounds good."

"Maybe this year before it gets cold. We can make it a long weekend trip like Thursday to Sunday. They are out of school for a teacher's in-service day on 23rd of October. We could plan it around then."

"OK, I'll check my schedule and let you know. Is yours clear for that weekend?"

"Yep."

"OK, if my schedule is free I will make our travel arrangements."

"OK good. They will both be happy to hear that." I hear her stifle a yawn.

"Yes, they will. Ok baby, I hear you yawning and it is getting late so I will let you get some sleep but first to get back to you rubbing up on me, what are you wearing?"

"My 'Just Do It' t-shirt."

"And?"

"Really?"

"Yes really. I need the full visual. Or we can switch to FaceTime or Skype and I can see for myself. "

"You know what I am wearing."

"Mmm. Which ones?"

"The black ones."

"Hot damn." I groan softly. "My second favorite. Hair up or down?"

"Up."

"Mm hmm. Sexy as fuck." I allow the image to overtake my mind. "OK baby go to bed. I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"OK, good night babe."

"Good night beautiful."
