New Beginnings

First Date

It's been a few days since Ally and Oz came over. I haven't really seen Ally much except a quick wave from her and Oz when they get into their car to go to school or a couple text's here and there. She goes to work straight after as do I, but she doesn't come home until the evening so she has a nanny to watch Oz. Gabriel and Bellamy seem to be getting into the routine of school, Gabriel always wakes up super excited to start his day and see Oz in class. Bellamy isn't quite as excited but he has made some new friends and seems to be adjusting fine, which I'm quite relieved by. I started back at work a few days ago as well. I'm starting off with half days so I can be back to pick them up from school as I have not searched for a nanny yet... I keep forgetting to do that. Partially because my mind is constantly drifting to my very attractive neighbour, Ally Mayfair Richards. It's Thursday today and I just dropped Gabriel and Bellamy off to school and am heading back to my car. I hear a familiar voice call out to me. "Morning sunshine." I smile knowing it's Ally calling out to me and I turn to face her. "Morning Ally, it's great to see you." She smiles. "Yeah I'm sorry work has just been so... Busy. But I was hoping you were free Friday night? I remember you saying the boys would be with their dad this weekend?" I nod. "Yeah he's going to be getting them after school Friday so I actually have the house to myself." Ally smirks. I playfully push her arm. "Oh God Ally I didn't mean it like that." We both laugh. "So how does 6:00 sound tomorrow?" I smile. "Perfect." Ally says she has to get going, and I look at the time and realize I need to head to work too. She told me to meet her at her place tomorrow at 6:00 and she'll drive to... Well I don't exactly know, she didn't say where this date was taking place. I didn't even bother to ask as I couldn't stop thinking about how she just asked me out! Anyways she said Oz will be at a sleepover so we don't have to be in a rush either. We part ways and I can't stop thinking about our first official date.

Friday comes soon enough and I head off to work after going to the school. I didn't see Ally this morning but she sent me a text about how excited she is for tonight. At work I have a bunch of client meetings set up back to back. It was a good distraction as I didn't have time to fixate over this date and stress over what to wear and all. (Although I'm sure I will stress about it when home, just not right now). My work day goes by quickly with how many tasks I had to do for the day. Once I arrive home I hop into the shower. After I rummage through my closet and try to find something nice to wear tonight. I settled on a white dress with a light pink floral design on it. It highlights my long legs and I paired it with some nude heels. I haven't changed yet as I have tons of time. Instead I head downstairs in my robe and with my still damp hair and go to make some food considering it's only 2:00. As I finish eating I get a call. I looked at the time and it's 2:45 and knew it would be Matt. Even before the move to this new house, Matt would always get the boys from school every other Friday. And everyday about 10 minutes after school he would need to call me because Bellamy simply wanted to hear my voice and I would always explain I'd see them Monday after school. I reminded him of this when I dropped him off at school this morning too but he's always had a bit of an attachment issue with me.

I answer the call. "Hey Matt how's it going?" I can hear hysterical crying in the background and my heart sinks. I can tell it's Bellamy having a rough time and I can hear Gabriel attempt to calm him with soothing words, God he's such a sweetheart. "Hey Y/N, I just got the boys from school and just driving to my place. You're on speaker could you talk to Bell please?" I hear some sniffles over the phone and the crying stopped. "Hi boys, did you guys have a good day at school today?" Bellamy is a bit hesitant to speak but Gabriel speaks up to summarize his day for me. We talk for a few minutes and Bellamy interrupts with his hoarse voice. "Mommy can I tell you about my day?" I hear him sniffle again. I smile through the phone. "Of course sweetheart I'd love to hear all about it." He proceeds to explain his day in great detail I must say, but it was super sweet. We end the call and I remind them they can call anytime this weekend, which I'm sure they will take me up on my offer.

After our call I cleaned up the house and finally got ready. I realize it's exactly 6:00 so I put on my heels and I hear a knock on my door. Ally is standing outside in her very hot suit. I open the door. "Hey, I was just about to come over but I guess you beat me to it." We laugh. "Well I wanted to start the date off with me seeing you open the door." I'm super confused and I'm sure my expression reflects this. "Why?" Ally smiles at my dumbfounded look. "I wanted to take in your appearance. I figured if you came to me I'd see you walk up and it wouldn't be as much of a surprise." I nod. "Hmm well was it worth it?" Ally smirks. "Very worth it, you're breathtaking." I can't help but blush. "You look amazing, the suit is very... Sexy." Ally smiles and comes closer to kiss my cheek. She holds my hand and we head to her car.

Ally ended up taking us to a very fancy restaurant in town. We share some red wine and share countless laughs. We learn quite a lot about one another and talk about our kids too. We both open up more about our relationships. Her explaining how Ivy left when Oz was a few years old because she felt she couldn't handle the responsibility of being a mother and felt distant from Oz compared to Ally. Ally explained how guilty she felt and I assured her that was not at all her fault. I explained how I had a bit of a similar experience and started explaining how I met Matt and how I never wanted kids as I never thought of myself as the motherly type, but he convinced me to (and how I don't regret it one bit now). I explained how after he persuaded me to have a baby that he was the one that became distant and jealous, similar to Ivy. Ally and I really bonded over our similar experiences and I've never felt closer to her.

We shift the subject over to our childhood experiences and share laughs over our crazy childhood stories. We're both long finished our meals but continue talking just enjoying each other's embrace. It's been close to three hours and it's completely dark outside now. We head back to Ally's car and she drives us back to our homes. We continue talking in the car and Ally places her hand on my thigh. Although she was only innocently tracing patterns on my leg, I couldn't help but feel a bit flustered. I swear I saw Ally smirk while her eyes were fixated on the road, almost like she wanted to test how I would react to her touch. Like that's necessary, clearly she has a hold on me already.

We arrive at our houses and I'm about to hop out but Ally stops me and comes around the car to open the door for me. I take her hand and get out of the car. Ally pushes me up against the car with the front of her body flush with mine. I feel my breathing stagger a bit as Ally looks at my lips and says "I had a really great time tonight Y/N, I'd love to do it again sometime." I smile and nod trying to remember how to breathe properly. "Me too, I'd love to do this again." Ally smiles and leans in to kiss me while still pressing her body onto mine. It's a slow and passionate kiss and slowly turns more aggressive as Ally slides her hands from my waist up to my stomach, holding me in place. I have my hands on the back of Ally's neck and move one to hold the front of her throat, not adding much pressure but just holding it in place and the other one buries in her hair. After a while we break the kiss as we are both out of breath. Ally smiles and grabs a strand of my loose hair to put behind my ear. She leans into my ear and I can feel her lips graze the shell of my ear as she says "Wow, you are magnificent." I blush and Ally steps back to get off of me and offers her hand to walk me to the door. We get to my doorstep and she kisses me once more. We say goodnight and I head inside.
