Zandra ignored Lelands call for the sixth time that evening. He had been seeing Jesse for a little over a week and Zandra was getting tired of hearing him talk about her. The boy had it bad. She even avoided going to the office when he was there cause she knew he'd ask her how Jesse was doing.

"Zandra stop ignoring Lelands calls!" Adam called from his bedroom. "He knows your not at work and he keeps texting me and I'm talking to Cecily!"

Zandra groaned and called Leland back.

"Do you think I don't have a life or something?" Zandra asked when Leland answered.

"Zandra I know you don't ." Leland replied teasingly. "Now what are you doing right now?"

"Wallowing in my self pity knowing I don't have a life and the whole Chapman family seems to know that."Zandra said with a dramatic sigh. "So what's up?"

"Come on over to my place." Leland replied. "And no making excuses. Jonas told me you have the day off."

Leland hung up the phone and Zandra walked out of her room. She grabbed her purse and told the boys she would be back. When she got to Lelands he was sitting out side with two boys. She knew at once that they were Leland's sons.

Zandra got out of the car and Leland smiled. He wanted her to meet his son before Jesse. He knew Jesse want that big a fan of kids under twelve years old.

"Zandra these are my sons Dakota and Colbie." Leland said and the boys looked at Zandra suspiciously as if wondering if she was their dads new girlfriend. "Boys this is Zandra. The girl the family sort of adopted."

"The stray?" Dakota asked. Bonnie Jo had told him about her and he was glad to meet her at last.

"Yeah, I guess you can call me the Chapman stray." Zandra replied. Leland looked down at his eldest son and nudged him a little.

"Would you like to go surfing with us?" Dakota asked. Zandra looked up at Leland with a smirk. He had been trying to get her out surfing since he met her. But he had finally found her weakness. She had trouble telling kids no when they asked her to go some where like that. Leland gave her a smile that read yeah I know you to well.

"Yeah I'd love to go." Zandra replied. "I've always wanted to learn how to surf."

"Dads a good teacher." Colbie said with a smile. "He can teach any one."

"Well then we'll have to put him to the test." Zandra replied as she helped Leland put the boys in the truck. When the doors were shut, she noticed there was aleady a board for her. She turned on Leland. "How did you know I'd come?"

Leland smiled. "You always come when I call. Lyssa and Duane Lee and I usually have to fight over who gets you."

"Awe just like an adorable stray puppy." Zandra said getting into the truck. It was true though. If one of the Chapmans called she went to them like a true stray.

At the beach every one got changed in to their swimsuits. When Leland saw Zandra his jaw dropped. He never expected to see her in a bikini. It was a black bikini with a paint splatter pattern with a black ruffle detail at the waist with a pink star at the hip and a side tie with clear bead accent. But what surprised him the most was the most were her four tattoos. she had a black Celtic sun between her shoulder blades with the ends red. a tramp stamp of a breaking heart with wings all done in black with awesome shading. on her right foot she had two roses. with their stems intertwining. one was pink, the other was black. her last tattoo was around her belly button. it was barbed wire with flames coming off the top and the name Ivan James. Zandra laughed when she saw Leland's reaction.

"I think Jesse might have some thing to say about the look your giving me." Zandra teased walking past him. He noticed that she had changed the way she acted towards him since he started seeing Jesse. She didn't flirt with him as bad as she did before. He actually missed it.

"Ok boys. Stay close while I teach Zandra how to surf. Leland said leading Zandra into the water. Zandra tried not to look hurt at the fact that he had stopped calling her Zay Bay. She was just happy to have her friend to herself for a while without Jesse bring mentioned or showing up.

Leland tried to teach Zandra how to surf, but she had the worst balance than any one he knew. He finally have up and let her go sit on the beach while he and Dakota hit the waves. Colbie sat down next to Zandra and watched her a moment. Zandra hid a smile as she slowly looked over at him then quickly turned away. She did that a couple more times and the not started to laugh.

"Oh what is so funny Mr. Chapman?" Zandra asked tickling him. He laughed and began kicking his feet. Zandra stopped and Colbie grabbed her hand leading her to the water. Zandra picked him up and began tickling him again as she took him into the water. He soon wiggled his way around her so that she was giving him a piggy back ride.

"Don't break her Colbie."Leland said as he and Dakota came up behind them. "We unfortunately want to keep her around."

"Awe gee thanks Leland." Zandra teased.

"Well i like her." Colbie said as Leland took him off Zandra's back. Leland smiled and winked at her. She knew she was officially considered part of the family.

When Zandra got home Jesse was pouting waiting for her. Zandra smiled and have the woman a hug. Jesse pushed her away lightly.

"Why didn't he ask me to go surfing?"

"Because you'd show him up in front of his boys." Zandra teased. "Surfing is like your guys alone time."

Jesse smiled and gave her room mate a hug. "I'm still mad at you. Seeing him all wet."

"Ewe, Jesse." Zandra said trying not to laugh. "Its not like you haven't seen him that way before... And more."

"He is so hot." Jesse said with a smirk.

"And again I reply with ewe." Zandra said getting out of the hug. Jesse smirked again. She was glad she had Zandra, but she knew Zandra had a small crush on Leland. She almost felt guilty for taking him from right underneath her. Almost.
