Chapter 1

"Brandon baby please be careful"

"I will mommy" he said to me as he jumped into the shallow end of the pool.

I sat there just watching my son. He was having so much fun with another kid. I was so distracted watching B that I did not even notice Lena had sat down next to me until she spoke

"Are you okay Stef?" I jumped at the sound of her voice and looked over at her.

"Yeah I'm okay" I claimed as I offered her a small smile and turned my attention back to Brandon.

"I just wish that Brandon was more important to mike then a bottle of beer." I wiped away a stray tear that was getting ready to escape down my cheek. And then I felt her hand on my back and I looked over at her and she was looking at me. I wanted nothing more then to kiss her at that moment but I couldn't.

"I'm so sorry stef" she said to me and neither one of us broke eye contact from each other. well that was until I had a 5 year old who was wet from head to toe jump on my lap and Lena quickly pulled her hand away from me.

"Why hello to you to bud" I said to him and could not help but laugh at the dorky smile he had on his face.

"you're not ready to go already are you? He just looked at me and shook his head no and took off running back to the pool.

"I know I have spent very little time with Brandon. But he is a good kid stef. you're doing a wonderful job with him"

"Thank you,I try." I said as I was looking at her. "You know Lena you did not have to tag along." I smiled at her as she started to laugh at me.

"Okay stef don't you worry. its not a problem. I wanted to. Plus I did not want to break his little heart"

Yup I am screwed. I have know this women all of two days and I am already falling for her. God help me!

"You know stef you're pretty cute when you blush." I looked over at her with raised eyebrows and a smirk.

"I know" I said smirking at her. And then turned my attention back to Brandon.

"Brandon buddy come on its time yo go" I got up grabbing his towel waiting for him to come over and when he did I dried his hair some and wrapped his towel around him and I smiled as he looked up at me

"Mommy come here I need to ask you something" he said still looking at me so I knelt down in front of him and he leaned in close to my ear.

"I really like Ms Adams. Can I ask her

To come to our house for dinner?"

I could not help but let out a laugh not only because of the question but also the serious look he had on his face. "Yeah buddy go ahead" I said smiling at him and stood myself back up to watch how this will play out.

Oh lord he is serious

"Ms. Adams will you come eat dinner with me and mommy tonight?" Yep and here comes her laugh. "Um" she looked at me almost as if she was asking for approval. I just smiled shyly and nodded my head yes and watched as she had turned her attention back to Brandon. "I would love to come over for dinner Brandon"

"Hey stef do you want me to bring anything?" I looked at her for a split second then looked at Brandon"

"Do you like pizza lena?"

"Oh its the way to my heart" she said smiling at me

"We could always just order in a pizza?"

"Yeah yeah yeah" Brandon was pretty much yelling as he started jumping up and down

"Okay okay" I said while laughing "but you have to get into the shower and clean pajamas as soon as we get home B.

"I will mommy I promise" he said pulling at my hand.

"Um ill follow you stef"

"Okay I said" as Brandon was pulling me away and I swooped him up in my arms so I could slow down enough to walk by Lena

About 30 minutes later Lena Brandon and I walked through the front door to my apartment, leaving Lena and Brandon in the living room I headed down the hall to draw him a bath and lay him out clean pajamas. When I went back into the living room I found my son showing Lena his hot wheels cars it was a moment worth watching

"Brandon foster. Please report to the bathroom you bath awaits " I said and he came up to me "pepperoni" I. Bent down to his level. "Pepperoni is what you want?" He grinned at me "yes ma'am" I smiled big at him "pepperoni it is then" he smiled"

"You will call me when you're. Ready to wash you're hair. Yes?"

"I will"

"Ok. Now...go go go" I laughed I think he was running faster then his little feet could go. I looked over to Lena who was sitting on the couch smiling. I walked over and sat down next to her.

"So Ms Adams tell me. What kind of pizza is it that you desire?"

She closed her eyes smiling at me before answering

"How about pepperoni beef and onion? Its to die for "

"Have it you shall" I said smiling at her. And got up grabbing my phone calling and ordering the pizza's.

"so can I get you something to drink? Wine, juice, water, milk? "

She came over leaning against the counter.

"How about wine" she said softly smiling at me.

"!wine it is" I said as I was pulling a couple glasses off of the top shelf and then Brandons favorite batman cup.

"Ok ma'am here you are"I set her glass down in front of her "one glass of Stefanie Foster's finest wine"

"Oh why thank you Ms foster"

With that being said there was a knock on my door. Grabbing my money I got the door and with my luck I got a telling from my son who needed help with his hair.

"That will be 20 even ma'am " counting out the change I paid the guy and took the pizza shutting the door I turned and Lena was no where to be found. Setting the pizza down. I headed to the bathroom to find her helping B with his hair. What a sight.

I just quietly made my way back to the kitchen and started dishing out food and pouring Brandon his drink.

As soon as the both of them came out Lena. Sat down and Brandon climbed into his chair. But not without letting a big yawn escape first.

"Tired baby" he looked at me and just nodded his head yes and then went to eating his pizza.

I had put Brandon to bed and walked. Lena to the door and opened it for her

"Thanks again" I said looking at her. She just smiled in return

"It was fun stef" she said as she brushed a strand of hair out of my face.

"We should do it again sometime "

Yeah we should " she said and then came that awkward silence again

"Ill text you maybe we can get together again"

"I would like that"

"Bye stef" She said as she stepped out the door

"Bye Lena " I said and watched her walk away. shutting the door behind me I leaned up against it closing my eyes smiling
