Date, Tex.
Tex was standing in the parking lot waiting for Tom. She was tapping her foot impatiently. It was now eight twenty and Tex was giving up and walking inside. She sighed and walked back to her apartment. She sat down thinking of what to do next. She thought for a few minutes then decided to go to a club alone when her phone started ringing. She flipped it open and answered.
"Hello." Tex answered.
"Hey Tex!" She heard Tucker on the other end.
"Hey Tucker!"
"So how has your day been?"
"Okay I was getting ready to go to a club. You?"
"Not much. I'm walking to a bar right now."
"You're looking for women aren't you."
"Hell yeah!"
"I figured." Tex said sadly.
"Why so sad?" Tucker asked nicely.
"I was suppose to go on a date, but they never showed up."
"Certainly wasn't Church."
"Why?"
"Church would have been there early just to pick you up."
"Your probably right."
"You know he loves you, right?"
"He's never came up and said it."
"That's because he's afraid of you."
"No. I think theirs another reason."
"Whatever. Listen I'm at the bar. Bye." Tucker said.
"Okay. Bye." Tex then hung up. As she did so she heard some pebbles hitting her window. She took a deep breath, walked over, opened the window, and looked down to see Tom.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Tex yelled down to him disappointed.
"I had to work late! I would have called you, but I don't have your number!! Will you still have dinner with me?!!" He yelled up to her. She shook her head.. And tried to shake Church from her mind.
"Okay! I'm coming down!"
"Okay!" Tex then came down to the parking lot a few seconds later wearing her Black knee length dress.
"Lets go." She said walking over to him.
"Okay." Replied Tom as he walked over to his car. Tex then walked over. He unlocked it and got in as Tex did the same. He strapped in and started the car as Tex strapped in. He then started driving to a dinner. His phone then started ringing. He answered it.
"Hello." Tom said.
"What?"
"I'm on a date."
"What the hell do you think I'm going to do that you can't?"
"No! You're a fucking dumb ass." Tex looked at him confused.
"Okay! Fine!!" He then hung up.
"Who was that?" Tex asked curiously.
"My ex-wife."
"So you've been married?"
"Yes. You?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Never been asked."
"I figured you'd been married to that guy."
"No. We were serous, but he'd never asked me."
"If he'd asked you.. What would you have said back then?"
"Yes."
"Quick answer."
"So?"
"Never mind." He said as they pulled up to a dinner. He got out as Tex did. He then locked it and walked in her by his side.
"We need to make this quick." He said walking up to the waiter.
"Why?" Tex asked looking at him strangely.
"My son his the flu and my wife thinks that I'll be able to help him."
"You have a son?"
"Yeah. His name is Dusty."
"I guess I should have asked this stuff first."
"Why?"
"I can't finish this date." She said looking at him confidently.
"What?!!" He yelled as she walked back to the car. He ran out to her and grabbed her arm.
"Take me home." Tex demanded.
"No."
"What?"
"NO."
"What are you going to do Tom?"
"Why can't you finish?"3
"Because you're a divorced dad."
"Its my son?"
"I don't like men with kids Tom."
"What?! That's ridicules. If you met my son you would love him. I guarantee." Tex frowned.
"Okay."
"What?"
"If your so sure take me to meet him." She said proving a point.
"Okay." He said unlocking his car and getting in. She got in thinking, he must really like me or is completely crazy. They arrived at his ex-wives house. He got out and went inside for a moment then came out with his son Dusty who looked to be three or four. His son had Black hair and Brown eyes. He then put his son in the back in his car seat and then got back in the drivers seat. Tex looked in the mirror to see his son smiling at her. She turned slightly in her seat to face him. He was smiling and didn't look sick.
"Hello lady!" Dusty said smiling big. Tex smiled.
"I'm Allison." She said as the boy smiled.
"Hi Allyson!" The boy said smiling. Tex then turn back the right way.
"He's cute." She said to Tom.
"I know. A hell of a lot nicer then his mom."
"You curse in front of him?"
"Yeah. My ex-wife always yells at me for it."
"Don't curse around him with me here." Tex said looking at the happy boy through the mirror.
"Okay."
"Do you like games!?" Dusty asked causing Tex to jerk to looking at him.
"Some."
"Daddy I'm hungry!!!" Tom sighed.
Church, Date.
He was at the movie theater with Lisa.
"What do you want to see?" He asked her as he thought about Tex.
"Something with action." She responded. He looked at her surprised that she wanted to see something with action.
"What about funny?"
"Okay."
"Step Brothers?"
"okay." She said as they walked over to the desk.
"Two tickets for the next showing of Step Brothers." Church said.
"Eighteen dollars." The bored teenager said. Church paid him and grabbed the tickets. They then walked inside.
"you want anything from the candy counter?" Church asked.
"No." "Okay." They both then walked into the theater, found their seats and sat down. They sat silently as they watched the movie. Church looked over at her. He knew the only reason he was going out with Lisa was because he wanted move on from Tex. He didn't really like her that much and couldn't stop thinking of Tex as they sat there imagining her next to him instead of Lisa. He sighed as everyone in the theater laughed.
Flash Back.
Tex and him were standing outside an old movie theater that is now long gone. He looked at her.
"What do you want to see?" Asked Church nicely as Tex looked at movie posters
"You pick."
"Uh.. Fifty First Dates."
"Sounds good." She responded smiling. They both walked up to the desk.
"Two for the next showing of Fifty First Dates." Church said looking at the man and holding Tex's hand. He handed them the tickets and Church handed him eight dollars and went into the theater.
"Want anything from the candy counter?" He asked winking at her.
"No." They both then walked into the theater, found their seats and sat down. They movie started a few seconds later. Church put his arm around Tex and she let him. About an hour later Tex was leaning her head on his shoulder as he kissed the top of her head. She moaned slightly as he did so.
"Your so hot." He whispered to her. She laughed slightly. Church smelled her hair and closed his eyes.
Date, Church.
He snapped out of his flash back when Lisa said,
"Movies over."
"Huh?"
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah just spaced out. Good movie."
"Uh.. Okay. Yeah, good movie." They both then walked out to his car and got in. He started driving to his apartment.
"Did you have a good time?" Church asked distracted.
"Yeah." She said looking at him. They arrived at his apartment complex a few minutes later. He parked and they got out. He walked her to her car.
"Well its eleven." She said looking at him.
"Yep. Do I get your number?" He asked looking at her.
"Oh. Yeah here." She then gave him a piece of paper with her number on it.
"Bye." He said slowly.
"Bye." She said quietly. They stood there for a few moments until Church kissed her. She kissed him back putting her arms around his neck as he put his around her waist. He pressed her against her car as they continued to kiss.
Date, Tex.
They were at his apartment with his son Dusty. Dusty was playing with cars on the floor and they were both sitting on the couch. Tex saw something in Tom's son that seemed familiar, she couldn't place it until she looked at his eyes then realized. His eyes were Brown, and his hair was Black just like Church's. She looked at him confused by the high resemblance.
"You better be getting home." Tom said looking at Tex.
"Yeah." She said looking at him then back to his son.
"Come on little buddy!" Tom said picking him up. Tex stood up and they went to his car. The got in and drove to her apartment. He looked at her as they parked.
"So do I get your number?" He asked looking at her.
"No. I'm sorry Tom. Bye Dusty. Nice meeting you both." Tex said then getting out. They drove away a second later. Tex looked up to the sky and lifted up her arms.
"WHY!!!" She screamed crying.
"Damn you Director!!" She cried getting on her knees. She cried hard as she looked down to the ground. She stayed there a few minutes then rushed up to her room trying to stop crying. Her phone then started ringing as she walked through the hallway. It said Tucker when she looked. Tex answered it hesitating when saying hello.
"Hello." She said in a crying voice.
"Are you okay?" Tucker asked worried.
"I need to tell somebody Tucker."
"What?"
"The real reason I broke up with Church."
"Uh.. Go ahead." He said curious and worried.
"When I became a freelancer the Director told me church was the alpha A.I."
"So you knew all along?"
"Yes. He told me that I couldn't date him because of this."
"Why?"
"Because him being alpha. I denied then he told me that if I didn't he would kill me and reprogram Church. I had no other choice then to agree so I ended it."
"I.. I. Tex."
"I love him Tucker. I really do.." Tex said crying.
"Tex… I…" Tucker stopped not knowing what to say.
"Your as clueless as me."
"Tex I wish I could help you."
"I wish you could to."
"Tex the director is in jail."
"I know."
"Then why not tell Church you love him?"
"Tucker I want Church to be happy."
"And I can tell you he won't be happy without you." Tucker said knowing Church loved her.
"How?" She asked.
"Just tell him. Go to his apartment and tell him."
"Okay." Tex then ran down to her car and got in. She started it and started to drive to his apartment.
Church.
"We shouldn't do this." Lisa said back into the wall of the hallway.
"Why?" Church said kissing her neck.
"Never mind." They both made it into his apartment. He pushed her against the wall the split the kitchen and the living room.
