Grayson was standing at the door to Jessica's house contemplating his options. Should he ring the bell, or knock, or should he just leave.

Just as he turned to walk away his arm hit the doorbell causing him to freeze. Panicking he started to make sure everything was in place. So it seemed as if his car actually broke down.

He Ruffled his hair and rubbed oil on his jeans and face. Pouring a little water on his forehead to look like he was sweating.

As he pulled it together the door swung open. A little girl who looked to be about 8 years old was leaning against the door frame with her arms folded against her chest.

"Hello, can I help you?" She spoke studying him with a certain curiosity.

Shit!

You've been figured out.

Run!

His mind was telling him to get the hell out of there but his body wouldn't budge.

He couldn't help but notice she had those same chocolate eyes as Jessica. Her hair was a bit past shoulder length in little curls covering the sides of her face as Jessica's did.

"Yes my car seems to be having motor trouble. I've been out here for quite a while and I was wondering if maybe I could use your bathroom." He spoke nervously but hiding it well.

She turned to face the inside of the house and yelled "Mom, it's some guy. He says his car broke down. And wants to know if he can use our bathroom."

Within a matter of seconds she was given a response. "Hold on Jamie, I'm coming."

At sound of her voice the hairs on the back of his neck stood and his palms began to feel clammy. He rubbed them together hoping to hide his nervousness.

Why did the little girl who he came to know as Jamie call her mom?

She stepped into his view rubbing her hands against her pants breaking his thoughts. She stopped in her tracks as soon as her eyes met his. A blush crept upon her neck and cheeks. She tried to mask it but it wasn't working Grayson knew the affect he had on her. But she didn't realize she had him the same way.

She stood with a shocked expression on her face staring at him. He cleared his throat making her snap back to reality.

"Uh, yes come in. The bathroom is down the hall, the third door on the left." She told him pointing in the direction of the bathroom.

"Thank You." He mumbled shoving his hands into his pockets walking towards the bathroom.

What now you idiot?

He thought to himself as he walked towards the bathroom. After seeing her all the plans Grayson had were instantly forgotten.

She was beautiful, more beautiful than any other of the women he had slept around with or seen. Even now being at home in her work clothes she was beautiful. She made him speechless and baffled. She made him feel butterflies.

Butterflies.

It amazed him he thought as he washed the soap off his hands before exiting the bathroom.

He walked back down the hall to the living room where Jessica sat alone on the couch. This was his chance he thought.

Grayson walked towards the couch sitting down next to her. Instinctively Jessica moved over to give him space.

He cleared his throat before speaking. "You're house is really nice." Jessica was nervous in his presence. She whispered a thank you while staring down with her hands in her lap, fidgeting.

"So you have a child?" He asked curiously.
She nodded a silent yes before adding "I have 3. The twins are in the kitchen eating."

Grayson was taken aback by this. She didn't seem like the woman for kids, she wasn't married, and her body was still in such a good state.

His mind was slowly undressing her as she sat on the couch. The bulge in his pants growing. He didn't notice until his member was pushing against the zipper of his jeans. It was making him uncomfortable to be in her presence.

He took off his jacket and placed it in his lap to cover himself up while he calmed down. He let out a deep breathe before continuing the conversation.

"You take care of them all by yourself?" He asked nonchalantly. She once again nodded. "Their father left when the twins turned two. So I've been doing what a mother does ever since. Protecting, providing, and loving these children with my all."

A small smile crept onto her lips as she looked like she was recalling some pretty good memories. The sight caused Grayson to smile as well.

He placed his index finger under her chin, lifting her head so they were looking into each others eyes.

"You're Beautiful, You know that?" He said the smile still playing on his lips. She blushed and looked back at her lap.

"Thank you." She said as her cheeks became a darker shade of red.

"Can I take you on a date sometime?" He asked placing his hand on top of hers. She pulled it away quickly and stood up. Her smile had quickly faded. " I-I uhh think it's time for you to go." She said walking towards the door.

Grayson stood up, taking long strides behind her until he was in front, blocking the door. He spoke slowly. "Just one date. If you completely hate it I won't ask again."

She thought for a moment before speaking. " I can't I have to much to do with my job, the kids, the bills-." Her rant was interrupted by his voice "Just think about it please." He said pulling out a piece of paper.

He scribbled his number onto the paper and placed it in her palm. He placed a gentle kiss on her cheek and turned reaching for the door knob.

He opened the door walking out. Before completely disappearing he looked behind him sending a wink her way.

She lightly blushed and closed the door before letting out a breathe she didn't know she was holding.

She let her hand reach up and touch her face where his lips had been. She felt tingles all across her cheek. The feeling was nothing short of amazing.

In that moment she knew she was in trouble.
