《Carmen》When I woke up in the morning I was at home in my bed but I don't remember how I got home or in my bed all I remember was being at the restaurant helping Dillon clean up after the dinner party I look over at my bedside table and see a note I pick it up and read it and it's from Dillon I look at it again and it says at the end by his name "love" does he really love me I smile to myself he's so sweet and that kiss was incredible and do I really want to go on a date with him I just don't want to get hurt again if this don't work out I know he said he'd never hurt me but how do I really know that for sure I have to talk to someone about it I need to talk to Rowan I pick up my phone and text my sister

《Carmen》I get up out of bed and go to the bathroom to shower once I'm done showering I get out of the shower and wrap a towel around my waist and walk to my room to get dressed once I'm done getting dressed I blow dry my hair then I grab my phone and my purse and keys then head out the door and walk to my sister's once I get there I knock when I hear the girls yell the door I laugh then the door opens to reveal Peyton hey Peyton is Rowan here?
《Peyton》Yeah come on in, Rowan honey Carmen's here
《Rowan》I was in the playroom with the girls when I heard Peyton call me and tell me that my sister is here, hey girls do you want to stay here and play while I go talk to auntie Carmen?
《Taylor Kaley and Bailey》Can we come too?
《Rowan》Sure come on the girls and I walk out of the playroom to the living room and the girls run up to Carmen and tackle her in hugs I just stand there smiling they really love Carmen I walk over to Carmen and the girls, hey Carmen are you OK?
《Carmen》Rowan I need to talk to you it's really important
《Rowan》Sure, hey girls go find daddy so I can talk to auntie Carmen and then when auntie Carmen and I are done we all can play OK?
《Taylor Kaley and Bailey》OK mommy we run off to find our daddy and we find him in the kitchen working on some papers hi daddy
《Peyton》I was in the kitchen working on some paperworke when I here my daughters sweet voices so I look up and smile hi my babies what are you doing in here?
《Taylor Kaley and Bailey》Mommy and auntie Carmen are having grown up talk so mommy told us to come find you so what are you doing daddy?
《Peyton》I'm just looking at patient medical records for work but hey how about I take a break and you girls and I can go to the playroom and play?
《Taylor Kaley and Bailey》Yeah let's go our daddy and us girls walk into the playroom and play while mommy and auntie Carmen talk
With Rowan and Carmen
《Rowan》OK Carmen what's going on?
《Carmen》Well first you know how I was helping Dillon clean up after the dinner party last night
《Rowan》Yeah?
《Carmen》Well when were cleaning we looked at each other and I got lost in his eyes and the next thing I know is Dillon kissed me then he asked me on a date but I don't know I already had my heart broke once and I don't want it to be broke again but then when we were in the car I told him how Cody broke my heart then he promised that if him and I started dating he would never ever break my heart then I fell asleep in the car and he must have carried me from the car into the house because when I woke up this morning I was in my bed and I found this note on my bedside table I hand Rowan the note and she reads it then she looks at me and says
《Rowan》Dillon is a good guy so what are you going to do, are you going to say yes to him about the date?
《Carmen》Yeah I am I like him a lot but I'm just afraid to open my heart again
《Rowan》That's understandable because I remember when I was with Jake he told me that if I was to leave him no guy would love me the way he loved me but I knew that Jake never loved me at all and look at me now I'm with Peyton I love him he loves me when I was attacked outside in the complex Peyton saved me when I was attacked at my workplace Peyton came he convinced me to talk to the police about what Jake did to me and I trust him with my life you have to trust that Dillon will not hurt you
《Carmen》I do trust that Dillon will not hurt me, Rowan?
《Rowan》Yeah?
《Carmen》I know that Dillon and I don't know each other that well but I think I'm falling in love with him and it scares me because I thought that Cody loved me but he cheated on me what kind of guy that is supposed to love you cheats on you?
《Rowan》I don't know but look you know I don't think Dillon is like Cody I don't think he'd cheat on you but I what do know is you should go on a date with him and see it for yourself
《Carmen》You think I should?
《Rowan》Absolutely you never know he could be the man you are meant to be with
《Carmen》Thanks Rowan, I should get going the first I want to talk to your boyfriend I get up and walk to the playroom and see the girls and Peyton are playing Peyton can I talk to you for a second?
《Peyton》Sure, girls daddy will be right back I walk out of the playroom and walk down the hall with Carmen OK Carmen what's up?
《Carmen》I was wondering if you had your brother Dillon's home address?
《Peyton》You like him don't you?
《Carmen》Yeah I do I'm just scared I don't want to get hurt again
《Peyton》I know that Dillon won't hurt you and I also know about what happen with your EX and he's a jerk for cheating on you you are an amazing woman Carmen, I give Carmen Dillon's home address here you go good luck
《Carmen》Thank you I walk out of the hallway and head out to the living room and see the girls and Rowan sitting on the couch well I'm off when I said that the girls look at me and say
《Taylor Kaley and Bailey》Auntie Carmen we thought you and mommy were going to play with us?
《Carmen》I just have to take care of something and I'll be back OK?
《Taylor Kaley and Bailey》OK love you
《Carmen》Love you too I walk out the door and walk to my car and head to Dillon's house when I get there I sit in my car for a couple minutes then I get out and walk up to the door I was about to knock on the door when it opened to reveal none other than Dillon I smile at him hey
《Dillon》Carmen what are you doing here?
《Carmen》I just wanted to see you, you know not in your workplace I hope it's OK?
《Dillon》I smile are you kidding me this is great come on in I watch as Carmen walks into the house then I close the door behind her you know I know I was a little bold when I asked you to go on a date with me I totally get it if you don't want to go on a date with me
《Carmen》Dillon I'd love to go on a date with you
《Dillon》Really?
