Chapter 7

After the picnic winded down when the sun started to fall, the four friends and the four children got ready to head back to Michelle's apartment. Amanda and Randy said they would watch the kids and get them ready for dinner while Michelle and Dave stayed at the park to talk. Michelle noticed Dave tell Randy something who had surprise and disbelief written on his face. Then he nodded and continued walking to his rental car parked next to Amanda's. The only vehicle left now was Michelle's Expedition. She sat across from Dave at the picnic table.

"I have a few things to say and I just want you to listen to me ok?"

"Ok Dave. What is it?"

"I think this thing is moving to fast."

Michelle sat in shock.

"This thing? Is that what this is? A thing?"

"That isn't what I meant Michelle."

"Well then why don't you finish what you were saying?"

"I think we're moving too fast. I mean we have my children wanting you and me to get married. Your children want me to be their new daddy. This is too much. I think we need to take a break."

"Are you finished now?"

"Yeah."

"Take me home Dave."

Dave nodded and drove home her Expedition. He watched as she walked inside but then noticed when she stopped. She walked over to where he was standing unlocking his rental car.

"I just have one thing to say."

Dave looked at her hoping she wouldn't make him feel more like shit than he did.

"Thanks."

Dave stood in shock. She was thanking him.

"For what?"

"For causing me to fall in love with you so quickly. For ruining my birthday for me. Oh and for breaking my heart. Thank you."

Dave just felt like kicking his own ass as he saw tears slowly running down her cheeks. He went inside to get the girls and their things. He noticed Michelle was sitting on the balcony with Gabriella, Christopher, Gracie, and Allison. He looked at Randy and Amanda. Randy looked sorry for him and Amanda looked ready to kill him. He noticed his daughters looked sad. He walked to the door of the balcony to hear what was being said.

"I'm sorry daddy hurt you."

Michelle sat in shock.

"What are you talking about Gracie?"

"I was going outside when I saw your car pull up. I heard what you said. I'm sorry he hurt you. I'm sorry I told daddy about our talk. Maybe if I wouldn't have said anything you wouldn't be so sad."

Gracie paused and looked at her sister then back to Michelle. She wiped the tears out of her own eyes before continuing.

"Don't forget us ok?"

Michelle wiped the tears from her eyes and pulled the two girls into a hug.

"I couldn't if I tried Gracie. And don't blame yourself for this. This isn't your fault, Allison's fault, Gabby's fault, or CJ's fault. This is between your father and me. If you ever need me just call me ok?"

The two girls nodded and hugged Michelle. Gabriella hugged the two girls as well. Michelle looked up and thought she saw Dave standing close to the door, but she doubted it. Randy however walked over to where Dave was standing.

"Why man?"

"This is moving too fast for me. I'm not even divorced from Angie. I can't be getting too close like this until I'm divorced. I don't want to hurt her."

"Too late man. You already did."

Dave nodded as he looked at his young friend. He knew he'd probably just made the biggest mistake of his life. He just let the one woman go that was probably the one for him. He had thought Angie was, but everything that had happened over the past few days just proved she wasn't. He knew he needed to get a divorce from Angie. So as soon as Randy, he, and the girls got to his apartment in Washington DC he called his lawyer. Later that night after the dinner with her parents and putting the kids to bed, Michelle was ready to go to bed. She turned on her CD player and heard Chris Cagle's song 'Are You Ever Gonna Love Me' play. By the time the song was ended, Michelle felt she had no tears left to cry. Amanda came in and sat on her bed with her comforting her as only a friend could.

"I love him Manda."

"I know honey. I know."

Meanwhile Dave was lying in his bed and heard Shania Twain's new song, 'Don't'.

'I just messed up. Please God let her forgive me.'
