Finding Forever

Chapter 7

"Alright, I love you guys," I tell my children as I squat down in front of them as I drop them off at the meeting spot with Jaycob. "Have a wonderful time with daddy, and I will see you all soon."

I kiss each one of them on the cheek while giving them a tight hug before handing Han over to Jaycob.

While Jaycob buckles Han into the car seat, Anakin calls out to me as I walk over to my van; "Have fun on your date tonight, papa!"

Turning around to call back to him with a smile and a wave; "I will, An! Have fun, too!"

The kids wave at me as I wave back and toss air kisses to them, I notice Jaycob's frown, and I am one hundred percent positive he will be questioning Anakin on this topic.

Climbing into the van, I drive off toward home as Jaycob drives off toward his. I am heading directly to the restaurant since I am meeting Weston there. I am already dressed in a pair of red skinny jeans, a white long sleeve shirt, and a pair of red Vans. We are having dinner at a Greek restaurant, and then we are going to a free classic music concert in the evening park.

Forty-five minutes later, I arrive and notice Weston's Dodge Ram parked three spots down from me. Turning the engine off, I climb out with my keys and cell in hand, and I lock the doors behind me. Entering the restaurant, I search for Weston, and when I find him sitting at table in the corner by the window, I head toward him. Weston glances up as I approach, and we smile widely at each other as he stands once I am a foot away, and we tightly hug.

"Hi, how are you?" Weston asks as we pull apart, and he moves go pull out my chair for me.

Blushing lightly at his sweet gesture, I sit down as he pushes the chair in for me; "Hi. I'm good, and how are you?"

Weston sits back down in his chair across from me with a huge smile; "I'm good, too. Did the kids get with their dad okay?"

Nodding, I reply with a chuckle; "Yup, and Anakin made me laugh as I was leaving by hollering to me about having fun with you tonight."

Weston instantly laughs as his eyes twinkle in fondness; "I swear he is fantastic! Ashton tells me about Anakin every time I see him, and the few times I have been around Anakin at the school, he is always smiling."

"He is my smiling baby along with Luke, whereas Leia and Han are my serious babies," I chuckle with a fond shake of my head. "How was your day?"

"It was good, but it's better now that you are here with me," he answers as he reaches across the table to take my hands in his to rub his thumbs over my skin gently.

Blushing again as I murmur; "You are such a flirt. I'm glad you had a good day."

The right corner of his mouth quirks into a smirk that I enjoy seeing; "I'm a flirt only for you."

"Are you excited about the concert?" Weston asks curiously.

"Hhmm, as fun as that sounds, how about we watch a movie at my place?" I suggest while biting down on my lower lip in worry that he will think I am being too forward.

Boy, I am so wrong when his face lights up like a child's on Christmas morning; "Yes, that's a wonderful idea!"

Brightly smiling as the server arrives to take our order, Weston and I decide to share a large pizza with pepperoni, hamburger, green peppers, mushrooms, onions, and pineapple.

"Are you sure about your suggestion?" Weston asks with a quirked eyebrow, and a hopeful smile once the server has left.

"Well duh, I suggested it, didn't I?" I sass with my own smile.

"Oohh, mister Sassy has arrived," Weston chuckles as he lifts my left hand to his mouth to lightly kiss my knuckles. "But I like mister Sassy, though."

Man, if I keep blushing like I am, I'm afraid my poor skin is going to fall off by the end of the night; "I like you, too, a lot."

The server arrives just then with the pizza and our drinks, and we fall into comfortable silence until he leaves m. We spend the rest of dinner in conversation about everything l, and when it comes time to pay the bill, Weston grabs it before I can with a soft smile.

"I asked you on this date, so it's my treat," he says standing to his feet to stand in front of me as I stand, too.

He gently kisses me on the lips to kiss away my pout. Kissing him back softly with a grin, and I mumble against his lips my thanks and that next time is my treat.

"We will see," he mumbles, making me think I wasn't supposed to hear him.

Playfully glaring at him, I take a hold of his left hand to give it a gentle squeeze as we exit the restaurant.

Stopping on the driver's side of my van, I ask him as I lean back against the door; "Follow me home?"

"Absolutely," he whispers, leaning forward slightly to softly kiss my lips before pulling back to lie his forehead against mine.

"Great," I whisper with a goofy smile as he steps back to open the door for me with an exaggerated bow.

"Your ride, my love," he gallantly says in a horrible English accent causing me to loudly laugh.

To anyone who has a sexy English accent, my deepest and sincerest apologizes for how horribly he just ruined your accent.

Weston follows me home, and the entire ten minute drive, I blast 'Metallica', and make sure Weston is still following behind me which he is. I am so excited that he agreed to the suggestion, and I am glad I was brave enough to actually ask him to do this. I think I am ready to start progressing our relationship a little more tonight, but only if he wants too.
