“So, mom who was he?” We were half way home and every two minutes Cassidy would ask who the hot bar guy was. That’s what she called him, the hot bar guy.
“Concentrate on driving,” I said for the fifteenth time.
“Come on mom if you don’t tell me who he is I’ll just have to make something up.”
I gave her my evil eye look “Don’t use the evil eye on me it won’t work.” I laughed at her imitation of the evil eye.
“Okay. On girl’s night Sasha, Kelly, and Courtany dragged me out to a dance club. I bumped into him and we talked. That’s all”
“I think he likes you.” I looked over at my young daughter.
“Do you think so?”
“Yes, mom I do.” I smiled.
“I gave him a card. Do you think he will call?”
“I bet on it.” When we got home we carried in all our stuff.
“Go to bed honey will go through the bags tomorrow after our appointment.” I hugged my baby and kissed her head.
“I love you, mom.” Every time she says that since she was a baby it warmed my heart.
“I love you too honey.” she closed her door and I went to my room. The walls are painted a pale green with a tan carpet. The curtains, chairs, pillows, and sheets are all a darker green while the dresser and bed frame is a black wood. I sat down on the ottoman at the foot of the bed and started digging through the bags for Pj’s. We decided pj’s can be any way we wanted them so I got some sexy ones along with some comfy ones. I pulled out a soft pink pair that had long pants and long sleeves. Different types of ice cream were printed on them. I grabbed the new soap and lotions I bought today and put them away in the bathroom. Finally done I curled up in a bed and instantly fell asleep.
The alarm went off at 9 am. I rolled out of bed and jumped in the shower, the shampoo I bought is called midnight path. It smelled good and made my hair so soft. The body wash and lotion smelled like apples, I put on my new pink wonder bra that pushed my boobs up really high, higher than they’ve ever been. I’m not really one for sexy underwear but now that I’ve had tried it on, I never knew how sexy it could make you feel. I put on a pair of tight skinny jeans and a tight lacy white tank top, with a blue, tan and white striped cardigan. Finished and liking what I saw in the mirror I headed to the kitchen to find Cassidy pouring herself a bowl of Count Dracula cereal.
“Wow, mom. You look… Wow.” I laughed and put my hands on her shoulders.
“You look so good, honey.“ Cassidy had on white jeans with a silver belt and a tan shirt that was tight around her body, lacy sleeves fell around her arms, and her boots matched the color of her shirt. She twirled for me showing off her new look.
"I feel pretty, I can’t wait to show off my new look.” we talked about how we wanted to get our hair done. I put my bowl in the sink and turned to look at my beautiful sixteen-year-old.
“How do you feel about getting your own car?” I saw this huge grin spread across her face.
“Really? My own car!” she practically jumped up and down. “Mom that would be amazing!” I smiled
“Okay, will go look at cars after our hair appointments.
“Thanks, mom. Love you.” Cassidy bounced in her seat. “Let’s get going.” I laughed at my eager daughter. Grabbing my keys and work bag and we headed out the door.
“I have to stop at work, Keven needs me to do something for him.”
“I don’t know how that man would ever get along without you, mom.” We both laughed at that.
When I dropped Cassidy off at Kelly’s her friends were waiting for her in the driveway. I watched as Cassidy slid out of the car and walked over to the girls. They surrounded her, all I could see was smiling and laughing coming from them. With a smile, I drove to work. When I arrived I found Keven’s truck parked in his usual spot. Walking in I called out to him.
“Hey Keven, I’m here would you like some coffee?” I called as I walked in. Thomas stepped out of the office while I was setting my stuff down.
“Keven’s on the phone right now but…Danelle. You look amazing.” I turned to look at Thomas a blush on my face.
“Thank you.”
“Do you always dress like this for work?” I shook my head no and looked down into my coffee.
“It’s new. A change I decided to make.” I heard Keven get off the phone, without looking up from his papers he walked out of his office.
“Danny that was the Russel’s they want to do a walk through one of our show houses. Would you mind doing that today?” When he finally looked up at me he was stunned. All he could do was stare. “God, Danny.” I laughed and turned in a slow circle.
“Is that all you have to say?” Keven ran his hands through his short hair.
“I really don’t know what to say. I’ve never seen you dressed like this before.” I frowned and pursed my lips.
“So you don’t like it?” Keven looked me up and down twice.
“You look great but jeez Danny I’ve known you for sixteen years, why are you changing now?” I shook my head.
“I’m not changing, just my look is. I haven’t been on a date or even been with a guy since I got pregnant. Cassidy’s growing up and won’t be around much longer. I want things to change.”
Keven, Thomas and I took a seat in Keven’s office. I told him about my night out and how I realized that I wanted to find someone to share the rest of my life with. That I had talked to Cassidy about it and we both decided to make a change in our lives.
“So you’re doing all this for male attention?” I ran my hands through my hair.
“No, Yes. I want love Keven, and I would like it if I had your support.” Keven held up his hands in surrender.
“Okay, you have my support. But I can’t promise I won’t be the protective older brother to you and the overprotective uncle to Cassidy.” I got up from my chair and walked around the desk to give him a hug.
“I wouldn’t expect anything less.” I smiled at him and started walking out of the office before turning around and saying
“Keven, later tonight I’m taking Cassidy to get her first car. Would you like to come with us?”
“Yes. I wouldn’t miss that and besides, I can’t have my girl riding in some foreign POS you might buy her.” with a laugh I left the office and got ready to head over to one of the show houses to show the Russel’s around. They were a nice young couple just married and starting out. As they walked through the house they told me there plans for each room. It was two hours later before I was turning into the parking lot at the office. I sat in my car for a little while just thinking about everything. The Russel’s where so happy, you couldn’t help but be happy for them. But I wished I had that, the love and excitement that they had. While I was drifting off in space someone knocked on my car window. I looked up to find Lucius standing next to my car. Opening the car door I got out and smiled up at him.
“Hey, what are you doing here?” he stared down at me. I watched him look me over twice. “Luc?” I said and snapped my fingers in his face; He looked at me.
“Ah… I’m here to see Keven.” I smiled at him.
“Looking at houses?”
“Ah yeah. Actually and he’s an old friend.” walking into the office I put my stuff down on my desk before walking Luc over to Keven’s office. I knocked on the door frame and announced that he was there before letting him in. As he walked passed me to go in his arm brushed across my breasts. I sucked in a breath and turned closing the door behind me. Leaning against the closed door I breathed a sigh.
