What this book is about:
Jesse comes home for the holidays to see his kids and he's in for a bigger surprise when he sees Angel and Sam together. It makes Jesse jealous. Does this mean he still has feelings for Angel? He finds out for sure when Angel later goes to visit his new, studio, to see if she wants to record there. Could she have feelings for him still as well? Could they easily get back together or will Angel end up with Sam? YIKES! Also while Lea and Sydney are delivering their bundles of joy, more bundles have been in the oven cooking. More marriages, more drama, more lies, rumors, cheaters, more steamy romance, plenty of tears and some laughter too. Did I mention MORE DRAMA??? OH yea... That too.
RECAP.
Jesse's pov.
Since Angel and I split up things have been very different. At least I still get to see my kids. I switch it off to make it easy and do a weekend with the boys and do guys things and then a weekend with the girls and try to do more girly things. Everyone of them is growing so big that I hate blinking because everytime that I do, they grow even more. It's not been very long since the devorce but it feels like a lifetime already. I miss Angel too but i'd be lying if I said I didn't go back to some of my ways before I ever met Angel. My boys always seem to find the hot spots and we hit them up. There's beautiful women every which way I turn and just about all of them would go home with me but it's not because they love me. It's only because i'm famous and rich and I live in a huge, castle, all by myself... I like to take some of the special ones out into my hot tub and watch the night sky. More times than i'm' proud of. At least I still keep pictures of Angel tucked in my wallet. That way when I feel lonely or depressed, I can look at her pictures and remember how good I once had it.
Chapter 1.
Jesse's pov.
There is nothing like coming home for the holdays. Although, this year wont be so merry and bright. Since i've been seperated from Angel, it's going to be super awkward for the kids but I miss my family. I truly still love my family very much and I am glad I can still come and see them. I land from the airport and i'm surprised when Arthur is waiting on me. I was for sure Angel would have a car waiting for me or would pick me up herself. Of course she's probably busy getting ready for christmas. Decorating, cleaning, prepairing the meal. I'm a little shocked she even asked me to come but she claims the kids begged for me to come and stay. I just wonder if she's trying to get me back. Arthur has me in the car and as we're talking, he says, 'I worked it all out dad. Drew and I can make beds on the floor and you can have our bed. We would put you on the couch but its not very comfortable.' I smirked and said, 'Yea, that sounds fine.' Arthur now smirks and says, 'Not only that, Sam will probably be on the couch if he isnt in bed with mom instead. At least I hope he don't start sleeping with her.' I now raise up my head so confused and ask, 'Sss-Sam?' Arthur glanced over at me while he is driving, acting like I should know all about this and says, 'Yea... Mom didnt tell you about him?' I shake my head no very surprised and somewhat let down. Arthur clears his throat and says, 'Hes an old friend of hers from church or something, I dunno. hes a very nice guy, wouldnt hurt a fly...oh and hes smart too but hes such a nerd. Hes nothing like you dad.' I now face out the window laughing in my head, already feel so stupid for coming. I thought she was secrelty asking me to come back so she could be with me but instead, shes already got a new, boyfriend.' While I am facing out the window, Arthur chuckles and says, 'I cant believe mom didnt tell you. Theyve been hanging out all this time too. I mean, they already knew each other so that kindve helped move things along of course mom was so hurt over you, she needed someone to turn to I guess and Sam also went through a devorce like 3 years ago or so and I think he feels for her. so...' I now sigh heavy and say, 'Just drive Arthur. Take a deep breath from talking a minute.' Arthur now sighs, faces me concerned and says,'Gee, dad. Did I say something wrong?' I shake my head and say, 'No, it was just kindve a long flight and I am tired of riding on the plane.' Arthur smirks again and finally we are pulling down the street to where they all live now. I am somewhat glad because I am so tired but in the same breath, I feel so very stupid. I wonder if everything Arthur is saying, is true about this guy being an old friend and being a nerd. Angel has never talked about him before. I hope they never dated before. She acted like I was her first, real, reltionship. Maybe I was wrong all this time. We get into the driveway and get out of the car. Lyric ran out of the house, jumped into my arms and shouted, 'DAAAAADDDDY!' I hug her so tight, smirk and then say, 'Uh oh. Somebody has way too much perfume on.' Lyric blushes and says, 'sorry daddy. Mom is taking us all to the mall today and I just wanted to smell pretty.' I cleared my throat and said, 'Trust me, baby. You always look and smell so beautiful.' Lyric jumped up, kissing me on my lips and then said, 'I missed you so much daddy.' She hugged me again, making me embrace her much tigher and then as I let go, I say, 'Ok. Let me take my stuff inside.' Lyric follows me inside and once I walk in, all the other kids are running up to me. Even Drew walked over with Crew, making me take him in my arms and squeeze him. He allowed me for a minute but then said, 'Down, daddy.' I put him down and he ran off. I chuckled but now I her this beautiful, laugh coming from the kitchen. I listen and I know it's Angel. I start to head into the kitchen but now I hear, 'Ok Sam. Yea, as soon as he gets here we can all head to the mall. You too. bye sweetie.' She then starts to move my way so I turn back around quick until I hear, 'Hey.' I turn back around again and say softly but unsure, 'Heey...' Angel sighs with her arms crossed and asked, 'Did you have a good flight?' I nod with my hands in my pockets and say, 'Yea, it was pretty good. Thanks.' Angel nods with a sigh, uncrosses her arms and says, 'Well now that you are here I am gonna make a phone call again and were gonna go to the mall for christmas shopping. Sound good?' I nod and then Angel walks back into the kitchen. I lean my head back feeling so very dumb and wondering what i'm gonna do. How could she move on that fast? Although, i've been with a few women since her, they didn't mean anything to me. They were just for fun. Angel actually matters to me. Do I still matter to her at all? I just stand there feeling like i'm trapped in a ditch and now Arthur walks up to me, showing me his phone and saying, 'look how big Sydneys belly is getting. Shes about to pop!' I glare at his phone unimpressed and said, 'Uh, thats good son...I guess you will be a dad soon.' Arthur smirks and says, 'Well, Jack will be a dad but since hes a total asshole, yea, I guess I will be the dad...I hope to be as good as you.' I smirk, shake my head and said, 'Trust me, you wanna be better than me.' Arthur goes to speak back up but now Angel is waking by us, looking very sexy and says, 'Ok. Lets head out to the car.' Suddenly she yells and like always, her voice carries through out the house. That is one thing about her I forgot but I kinda miss it now... All the kids have ran towards the door and we all file out and head into the van. I am in shotgun and then Arthur leans foward and says, 'hey is Sam meeting us there?' Angel nods and says, 'Yea hes picking up the thing for Faith.' I get nosey and ask, 'What thing?' Angel now smirks and says, 'Oh just something shes been begging to have so Sam is gonna pick it up in his car for me and keep it at his place until Christmas eve.' I sigh, face straight ahead already unhappy I came out. I was expecting for her to say she misses me so much and wants me back, ive waited long enough but instead shes way moved on and something inside of me is kindve jealous. Arthur told me hes a nerd but he could just be saying that to make me feel better. For all I know, Angel is dating a really, hot, guy. way hotter than me. We finally get to the mall and all the kids are walking with me and talking about all the decorations they see. I feel good that I am with my kids, kindve like old times but I am still broken over Angel. Another little while as we're walking and Arthur gets my attention. I face him and ask, 'What is it?' Arthur sighs and says, 'Dont look now but its Sam...' I look anyway and sure enough, Arthur was right. This tall, skinny, buzzed hair cut, with glasses, guy walks up to Angel and is talking to her. They hug and then Angel kisses Sam on the cheek and is laughing with him about something. I am kinda angry to watch and part of me cant believe it. She goes from me, to this nerdy dorky, guy. I am very confused. Sam finally notices me, walks up and says, 'Hi, Jesse McCartney. I am Sam, Angels friend.' I smirk while shaking his hand, can't hold back the sarcasim and say, 'Dont be so modest, Sam. My son, has told me all about you. You can say the word boyfriend around me if you want to.' Angel just glares at me, mouthing, 'Jessse' to me, clearly shocked that I snapped back at Sam but I am very surprised shes even dating anyway again and so quickly. Sam didn't know how to respond, so Angel speaks up and says, 'Sam, if its alright, I need to talk to Jesse a minute and tell him what we got Faith.' sam nods with a smile and says, 'Ofcourse, I will take the kids for hot chocolate.' Angel smiled back at him and said, 'Thanks sweetie.' He now kisses her cheek and then walks off with the kids. Arthur faces me, giving me a thumbs up and I smile at him with a fake, happy, smile. Then Angel glares at me and says sternly, 'You sure have a lot of nerve.' I bust out laughing and ask, 'Me? I have a lot of nerve? Angel, youre the one back in the dating scene so fast. You had no trouble getting over me.' Angel scoffs and says, 'Dont pretend like youre such a good, boy. I know all about the girls you took home with you since ive been gone. It was all over the papparrazi and besides, Sam isnt really my boyfriend, hes just a great, guy, friend.' I sighed now and said, 'Angel, please. In his eyes, youre pratically married. Angel sighed while shaking her head and then asked, 'Well what does it matter? You and I are devorced. I think that means were allowed to see other people...' I spoke up much softer and said, 'Leagally split baby...and you still have my last name too. Besides, you can do way better than sam. Hes such a loser.' Angel got really defensive and said, 'sam is a sweet, guy. Hes caring, understanding and hes extremely smart. Hes a scientist and makes great, money. Were actually thinking of buying a house together.' I smirked and said, 'Ok...Just because he is a nice, guy, doesnt make him the right guy for you.' Angel got upset and asked, 'And who do YOu think is the right guy for me? You? Cuz you cheated on me...' I sighed again and said, 'Lets drop it, the nerd is coming back over here.' Angel rolled her eyes and as Sam walked back up, he said, 'Are you two okay? I noticed you bickering some.' I chuckled and asked, 'Bickering? What age are you from again? Cuz nobody in 2028 says that word anymore.. No, we call it bitching now.' Angel grunted and said, 'Youre stressing me out. Just stop! okay? stop! Its christmas, I want our kids to have a good christmas and I dont need to put them through anymore of your drama. If you plan to stay with us, I beg of you to leave your **** back in California.' Sam also speaks up and says, 'The kids really dont like it when their parents fight.' I sighed and said, 'really... you have kids Sam?' Sam nodded and said, 'I have one, son. Oh but I never get to see him...' I patted Sam on the back and said, 'Your the last guy im gonna take advice from then. ok?' I walked off towards the kids and get super frustrated when I hear Sam say to Angel, 'Do you think hes just jealous?' Angel smirks and says, 'No, hes a pain in my ass.' I take a very deep breath and then I walk off faster. This really kills.
