room just hoping that Mr. Rock God was gone.  No such luck.  He was standing in the corner of the bar with his band mates and their groupies. He caught my eye and gave me a sexy cool grin and wink.  Trying to keep from falling off my barstool and maintaining my dignity and pride I just rolled my eyes.  I wanted him to see that He didn’t have any type of effect on me.  I know this was so untrue but I had to save face.
    The bartender came back and handed me my credit card and a piece of paper.  He looked at me smiled and winked.
    “Don’t worry love tonight it’s on the house. Be safe.”
    I sat there stunned.  No movement once again tonight.  W hy where my drinks on the house? I know I spent well over a hundred tonight.  Trying to get my composure I stood up and headed back to my group that had moved to the door. Trying to figure out what was going on I remembered that the bartender gave me a piece of paper. Curious I unfolded the paper and began to read not knowing what I would find. The girls must have noticed my utter shock and came to my side trying to pull me out into the night.  My brain couldn’t function and my jaw was on the ground.  Grabbing the paper from my hand Amanda began to read it out loud.
    Ryan-
    Thank you for the great dance tonight.  Your beauty and grace is one that I was thankful to behold tonight.  I am sorry you bolted from the dance floor I would have loved to have you in my arms all night. But all good things must come to an end.  
    I hope to see you real soon…….
    -Caleb
    “Holy shit, holy shit. How did he know my name? And I think he paid for all my drinks tonight. What the hell.  Someone pinch me.” I finally got my brain to think and not be in total shock from realizing that he thought I had beauty.  All three girls just looked at me with a slight awe in their eyes.  I didn’t know how to act or what to say.  I just knew that after tonight I would love to see Caleb again.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 3
    “Baby stop, you need to sit down and do your homework before I ground you into next month.” I scolded standing there tapping my foot ready to strangle my ten year old.
    “Mom look, I will get to it when I get to it chill.” Michael scuffed as he shut the refrigerator door closed. “Besides dad lets me play my video games before I do my homework.  Can’t you be more like him?”
    “Hang on their buddy, what you do at your dads house is at your dads but in my house my rules go.  So sit your smart ass down and get your homework done. No wonder your failing math.  You’re slacking off when you’re at your dads.”
    “Not slacking mom just preparing myself for more worthy things in life.  Math won’t help me become a famous basketball player one day.”
    “Yeah well being a dummy isn’t going to help you get anywhere either, not shut it and get going. McKayla is your homework done? If so let me see it.”
    Next thing I know I hear little stomping feet coming into the dining room. “Ugh mom it’s done why do you have to look at it?”
    “Because I want to make sure it’s right and make sure you’re getting the information correctly.”
    “Fine I will go get it.  Oh and by the way we like dad’s new girlfriend.  She was super cool all weekend and painted my nails and did my hair.”
    “Well good honey I am glad. Now run along and grab your homework.” Sadness crept into my heart.  I knew that this day would surly come I just didn’t think it would be for a while. Sharing your kids is one thing but sharing them with another woman is something completely different.
    Choking back the tears I tried to compose myself.  It’s Monday night and I just got the kids back today.  My ex and I have joint custody of our ten and eight year old.  He gets them every other week.  We live about two miles from each other so that way they could spend one week with him and one week with
