Erin and I made it home and it was dark by the time we made it in. I could tell he was still sleepy, but he needed to take his bath and change into his Pj's. I woke him up and he started groaning so I carried him into our home.

Our house was cozy and spotless. I thanked God for letting us make it in safely and made my way towards Erin's room.

"Erin, baby.... C'mon and get undressed. I'll be back."

I left Erin standing in the middle of the bathroom rubbing his eyes. I went into my room and took of my heels. I sat on my bed and laid back sighing. Today was such an eventful day. I work as an interior designer and I had a major client, Anna Wintour. She is a high top fashion designer and I must say I love her work, I may own a few pieces. Anyways, I was in charge of redesigning her Malibu house and tomorrow she is going to inspect and make sure she loves it, so we can finish up the payment. Her sale alone earned me 500,000. Thats 1/2 million, just to freaking decorate. Most of my clients end up paying 200,000, so I definitely come home with 1 million monthly. My job is my passion and I wouldn't give it up for the world.

I laid on my bed for a few more minutes just smiling like a fool. I eventually got up and took of my clothes and threw on a big shirt, so I could go check on Erin.

Walking back in his room, I could see him leaning against the sink counter sleeping. I shook my head and started undressing him. He groaned but didn't cry. I walked him over to the tub and put him in. Now, I'm not going to front, I was tired as all get out, so I gave him a birdbath and called it a night. We finished up around 9 and I kissed him goodnight. I left his door open and went to my bedroom and kept the door cracked. I set the alarm from my room and got cozy in bed. I turned on the TV and hoped for something good to be on, but to no avail, there wasn't squat.

My mind began to drift off to Shawn. I rolled my eyes at him, but I figured maybe I over reacted. I decided to text him.

It's nice texting him. I decided to take a chance and maybe meet up without the kids. I just want to get to know him a little bit more. He is kinda fine...Anyway, I didn't stay up to wait for his response. I took my behind to bed.

Shawn POV

December 2nd 2018

I was watching my baby girl on stage singing her heart out. She was so cute and adorable. I love my princess so much. As I was listening to the concert, I glanced around the room of family and friends and my eyes caught this beautiful brown skin queen.

She looked like she was really into it, but I couldn't help but stare. I looked back her a few more times through the night and just stared. I guess I was staring too long because she ended up looking back at me. We were in a trance. She stopped looking at me and clapped at the concert ended. I turned back around and clapped as the curtain came down.

The parents gathered there stuff and I grabbed my coat and saw my little girl walking from around the curtain. I was waiting for her to come to me when I felt someone bumped into me. I looked down and it was HER. I was surprised that it was her, she was even more beautiful up close.

"I'm so sorry. I tried to squeeze by."

"No problem." I replied while smiling at her gorgeous face. She was natural and she was just my type. I watched her as she disappeared into the sea of people and I turned my attention back to my angel, who had now appeared in front of my legs.

"Daddy, did you like it?"She said as she lifted her arms up for me to pick her up.

"Of course, I thought it was the best show ever. You were the star."

"No, Erin was the star. I was the co-star."

"Well, why cant there be two stars?"

"Oh yeaaa, I was a star too then."

"Exactly baby, remember you are always top because you work the hardest."

"I know. Can we go get some ice cream please?"

"Of course, do you want to go to Magi?"

"Yessssss, Magi is my favorite. I can get the strawberry banana." Magi was short for Magiano's. Tiera can never pronounce the end right, so we just shortened it.

We went out to the lot and we got in my white audi. I buckled up T and we went on our way. We arrived about 25 minutes later and I could see the excitement in T's face. This was her favorite place to go get ice cream. I think it has to do with the large serving they give out, regardless of age.

T got out the car and darted for the door. I followed quickly behind and she was already telling the lady what she wanted. She was a young teen, who kept laughing at Tiera's eagerness. I ordered a little ice cream too and thats when we heard someone call T. We both turned around and saw a little boy. I believe his name was Erin, she had been talking about him constantly for the last couple of days. His mother was sitting with her back turned to us but as we walked closer to the table, I could see it was the mystery woman from earlier. She was eating her food, but turned to look at us when Erin and T started talking.

"Hello again" I said. I thought I was real smooth with that line.

"Hey," she replied so softly, I almost didn't catch it.

Tiera introduced Erin to me and then he asked if we could sit. Of course, his mom looked to me and said it was up to me, so of course I said yes. I sat next to her and she smelled heavenly. I could smell her allllllllll day long if I could. We introduced ourselves while the kids were preoccupied. I told her I was new to town and just getting the hang of things with school and stuff. She offered to help and I just new I needed to take the opportunity to get her number, so I did. I put my name in with emoji's. I handed It back and asked me if I thought I was emoji status.

"Well I think, by the end of the year, you are going to believe so. Mind as well put them in now to save you the trouble later on." Too smooth.

We had a good time laughing and talking about different things when we noticed the kids were slowly not talking anymore. We wrapped it up but not before Beyoncé complimented my daughter and mentioned my now ex-wife.

I told her that I wasn't married and gave her the short answer on what happened. I could tell she felt bad, but I was too quick to say "It's ok. Not everyone can have the picture perfect life like you."

I didn't realize how harsh it sounded and I didn't mean for it to be that bad, but she snapped and let me have it.

I was about to apologize but she told me she didn't want to hear anything I had to say. Damn. I think I just blew my chance.

I watched her walk out the door carrying her sleepy son. I grabbed T and brought her to my car. I could see Beyoncé walking around to her driver's side and then drove off. I packed up T and we headed towards our house.

It was late when we got in, so I just laid her in bed and changed her into her Pj's. She was knocked out.

I went to my bedroom and put on the TV and laid in bed when I heard my phone go off. I looked to see an unknown number. She said it was Bey. I was mad confused, so I said Bey who? Then she reminded me and I felt kinda dumb. She didn't seem too happy I didnt realize her name because she hit me with Right.....Im glad I heard from her so I let her know. She told me if I ever needed to talk about school then I could. I figured I should take her out and maybe talk about what kind of things that happen there, she seemed like she was pretty involved. I have a lot of free time on my hands since I'm a a realtor and my schedule is pretty flexible.

I texted her back and asked her out for coffee tomorrow morning, but I didn't hear back. I waited until I found myself sleep with my phone in my hand.
