Hey guys please review so I know if people actually want me to keep writing.Thanks!
Sunday morning was busier than Saturday.The kids had no time to watch cartoons.They had to eat and get ready for church.Thinking her girls could dress themselves for church on their own for once Lucy helped Jake get ready as they were already running behind.When he was ready she sent him down to watch tv and went to check on her girls.They had gotten into some of Lucy's makeup and were still in their pjs putting blush, eye shadow and lipstick all over each other's faces.
"Girls!" Lucy yelled.The two little girls looked at their mother with innocent looking faces."What are you doing? You're supposed to be getting ready for church."
"We are.We're puting on makeup just like you do." Krysten stated.
"We pretty like you now." Katelyn added.
Lucy walked over and pulled the makeup out of the childrens small fingers that were covered in blue and purple powders of eyeshadow.
"You know you're not allowed to wear makeup.This is Mommy's and I don't recall you asking me to use it.I told you to go get dressed for church and you're still in your pjs.Now let's get you cleaned up and dressed for church." Lucy said while she took both girls hands and led them to the bathroom where she scrubbed the makeup off which wasn't easy.Luckily they made it to church just on time and didn't hit much traffic.
Every Sunday Lucy and her kids went to dinner at Eric and Annie's.After church Lucy brought the kids home to get changed.
"Hurry up guys!" Lucy yelled upstairs to her kids who were changing.On the way to her parent's house Lucy had to stop in at the grocery store to pick up some milk and eggs for her mom.
"Ok now we're not buying anything else except milk and eggs.No cookies or cakes or anything." Lucy instructed her kids who normally ran around the grocery store adding all kinds of treats to the cart.She knew today would be no different she just wished it would be like she did every other time before they entered the automatic open doors the the large store.
Holding Jake and Katelyn's hands she entered the store with Krysten beside them.
"Can you carry the basket for me?" Lucy asked Krysten.The little girl nodded her head and grabbed a basket off the stack.They had gotten the eggs and just needed the milk.Things had gone good so far.Lucy was practically holding her breath waiting to get out of the store.They had just grabbed the milk and were making their way to the cash when Katelyn wriggled free out of Lucy's grasp and ran down the aisle.Her eyes big, staring at the stack of Barbie merchandises at the end of the aisle, she didn't see the man in front of her and smacked right into him.He turned around to see a small girl sitting down, looking stunned.
"Oh I'm sorry" he said bending down and helping her stand up.Lucy rushed over.
" I'm sorry she just got loose an-" Lucy stopped in midsentence when her eyes met up with his face.Even with a gotie and years that had passed that face was unmistakable.He must have felt the same way as a smile appeared on his face.
"Lucy!" the man exclaimed.
"Jeremey?" Lucy said at the same time.
"Whoa how long has it been? Five years?" Jeremey questioned.
"Oh about that." Lucy said.She couldn't believe it she finally found Jeremey.
"How have you been? These your kids? "
"Oh good and yes they're mine."
"Oh are you married?" Jeremey asked kind of sounding a little let down.
"Nope."
"Oh? Are you with someone?"
"No."
"Oh, what about the three kids?" Jeremey inquired sounding a bit confused.
"Long story" Lucy laughed.
"Oh it's ok if you don't want to talk about it" Jeremey said understandably.
"No, it's not that, it's just that, we're in the middle of the grocery store.Probably not the best time to get into all this."
"Of course " Jeremey said feeling a bit stupid. "Do you want to go out for dinner and catch up?"
"Well I'm supposed to go to my parent's house for supper tonight.But we go every Sunday I could drop the kids off there." Lucy thought out loud.
"Sure.If this is a bad day we could do it another day.I'm in town for a week on business." Jeremey offered.
"No tonight's fine." Lucy said thinking she had to tell Jeremey right now so they could use the rest of the week to figure things out.Hopefully he would take it well.
"Alright.So what's a good time I can pick you up?" Jeremey asked.
"Hmm.I'll need to drop these guys off then go home and change.How about 7?" Lucy said.
"Sounds great Jeremey said.Where should I be picking you up?"
Lucy gave Jeremey her phone number and address and they say goodbye.Jeremey winked and smiled at the small children who were all shy and hid behind their mother.
