I can't believe that I'm the only woman in this party. And I was thinking that there were going to be lots of women.
I guess I really don't know Enzo, I shouldn't have judged him.
I find out that the guy who let me in is Matt Donovan. He is local sheriff and looks like a Greek god.
The problem is that he's not the only one, this room is filled with handsomeness!
A little kid runs to me and collides with my knees.
"Miss Bonnie, you came. I thought you were very busy to come", Trevor says excitedly.
He is dressed in a green shirt and jeans, looking like a gentleman.
"Of course I would come Trevor, how can I miss the birthday of most beautiful boy?"
"And you got me a present!"
"Yes honey, I got you a present, here."
He feels the gift and then says, "It's feels soft, what is it?"
"Find out yourself"
He immediately tears the red gift paper and takes out his gift. It was an easy choice. From the first time we met, he has made his love for shark blatantly clear. I know he is going to like his gift. It's a shark plushie. His eyes light up when he sees what it is.
"Wow! You got me a shark" And then, "Daaaaaad look what Miss Bonnie got me!" "She got me a blue shark"
The man in question looks at his child with fondness in his eyes and says,
"Did you thank Miss Bonnie for your gift?"
"Oops I forgot"
Then he comes running back to me, hugs my knees and says, "Thank you Miss Bonnie. I love your gift the best. "
"Welcome honey"
"Come let me introduce you to my friends"
And for the next half hour I was introduced to an Andrew, a Matthew, a Jay, a Lisa, etc. Safe to say the kids were excited to meet me, I have no idea what Trevor might have told them.
I sat with them and saw the other gifts and heard their gibberish talk, till the Greek god, Matt Donovan rescued me.
"You're good with the kids Bonnie", he says with a smile playing on his lips.
"You should just say that the kids are good to me", I attempt to joke. God! His eyes are so blue, bluer than Damon.
He laughs. We walk towards the kitchen.
"Tell me what would you like to drink? We don't have any alcoholic beverages but sodas and juices"
"Do you have cranberry juice?"
"Yes I think. Let me get it for you"
He comes back with my drink.
"So you guys know each other from a long time?"
"Yes seven years or so. Most of the guys you see here are single dads. We actually met on Facebook. We started that group to provide guidelines and support to each other and turned out into great friendship."
"Ohh! I thought you guys might have been college friends or something?"
"No, I don't think Enzo is in contact with any of his college buddies. He spends most of his time with Trevor and if it's not him then it's any of us."
"Funny thing, I couldn't think that all these guys might be single dad's"
"Yeah, we bonded together in our worst times. You know, Men needs shoulder to lean on too."
"Yes of course. I agree with that. Which one is yours?"
He points to a red head and says, "You see that little one with yellow T-shirt and red hair, that's my Jimmy"
The said kid waves at me and goes back to his play.
Meanwhile I see Enzo approaching us.
"Thanks for coming Bonnie. It was nice of you to get him that gift", Enzo says with a smile on his face. I haven't seen him smiling much at me in a month or so we've known each other.
He smiles at his kid all the time though.
"That's fine, I did that because I really like your kid", I tell him honestly.
In the past month Trevor had visited me multiple times. Talking to Trevor is really easy, he's curious about so many things so our time passes easily. Sometimes it's already bedtime when Enzo comes to collect him.
"Which loosely translates to 'I didn't come for you Enzo, I came for Trevor only'" Matt kind of teases Enzo.
That's spot on true. I don't deny or agree I just smile at that.
"This is getting boring Enzo, entertain us!", Matt says.
I see a dart board on the opposite wall to the play area,
"Let's play darts"
"Do you know how to play?" Enzo asks, in that ridiculous questioning tone.
"Yes"
"Well then let's have a competition. Not to brag Bonnie, but I am very good at darts", Matt injects.
"Oh really, we'll find out"
"Sure, Enzo you playing?"
"Are you sure you want to compete with me?"
