[Two Weeks Later]

*Rayne's P.O.V.*

I mean, I don't necessarily care. I shouldn't. I don't care. I'm not caring, it's just.. no! I don't. Okay, maybe a little bit. He has a right. He can do whatever he pleases. I'm moving on. If that's his way of moving on, then okay. I can deal with that. Who is she? Is that why he left so suddenly? For some chick? I need to calm down. We're not really anything. Just Alexia's parents. We're not together. All we do is see each other almost every other day. No problem there. Right?

Yes, it's a problem. I need to find that um.. what's it called that always leaves when he comes? Self control? Yeah, that's it! Self control. We've made out twice. Two times is my limit. I wouldn't mind a third to be honest. I said it.

Right now, I'm at home laying on the couch. Alexia is in her room doing whatever she does. I just can't stop. Who was she? I need to stop. I'm going to stop worrying about him. Let's worry about me.

Brandon and I are going on another date. Yay. Tomorrow and I'll get Mandy to watch her.

"I'm sorry, something came up." I groaned pulling at my hair.

"Mandy, I don't want to ask him!" No.

"Ask your mom." Too late.

"I already did. She's going out with Robert tonight." I rolled my eyes. Robert's mom's boyfriend. He is, even though she denies it.

"Just ask him." I sighed and hung up. I decided to text him instead. He said he can. Of course he can. He's coming by to get her.

After getting dressed, I started on my makeup. It was just a simple red dress, maybe a little form fitting.

*shrugs*

There was a knock on the door, right when I was going to put my heels on. I quickly put them on and grabbed my earrings. I ran to the door trying to put them on. I opened the door and ran back to my room.

"Um, just come in!" I yelled. I put them in and quickly did my hair. I walked out and there he was on the couch. He stared at me.

"Rayne, you look... sexy." I rolled my eyes, walking to Alexia's room. I picked her up, placing her on my hip and walked back to where he was. He continued looking me up and down. I just have to ignore it. I sat her down next to him.

"Be good, you. I'll come get you later or..?" I looked over to him.

"No, no. Just call when your done and I'll bring her back." I sighed.

"Thank you. So much," I went to get my coat. "Love you Lexi." I kissed her cheek.

"Love you too." She said and I smiled. There was a knock on the door.

"When and if you leave, lock door." He just nodded.

"I think you're forgetting something." What? My left shoe?

"What?" He puckered his lips. I shook my head. He grabbed my wrist. "Get off."

"Just do it. You've already left him out there for long enough" I rolled my eyes. I bent down, going for a kiss on the cheek. "That sucked."

"Just like you," I smirked and walked towards the door. I opened it. "Hi, I'm sorry." He shook his head.

"It's no problem." He smiled. He's pretty great.

***

When I returned home, they weren't here, so I called him.

"Hey." He said.

"Hey, I'm home." He sighed.

"Okay. I'll be there soon."

It took about fifteen minutes, but they finally got here. He carried her in, she was asleep. He walked around me and into her room. He came back out and stared at me.

"Um, thanks," He just nodded. "What did you do?"

"I took her to my mom's. I told her earlier and she freaked out. So, I brought her over." I just nodded.

"I would've beaten you," He chuckled and turned towards the door. "Wait!" I had no idea what I was going to say.

"Yeah?" I shrugged.

"I just... never mind. Bye." I shook my head and turned away. I heard the door shut and I walked back to my room. I kicked my heels off and fell back on the bed. I covered my face with my hands and turned over. I just need to sleep and forget about all this for about eight hours. That sounds nice. I got up, reaching back to unzip my dress. It fell down to my ankles and I threw a t-shirt over my head. I turned off the light and laid under the covers. I just need a whole day to myself to sleep. Mandy can watch the kid and I can sleep. Perfect. My eyes closed and I turned over, falling asleep.

***

"Mom! I have school!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. I sat up quickly, getting hit in the face with a shoe. I groaned, standing up. I threw a sweatshirt on and started brushing her hair. I'm half asleep right now. I put it into a ponytail and slipped my shoes on. I ran my fingers through my hair, trying to make it calm down. I picked her up.

"Shit. You didn't eat?" She shook her head. "Then, you're going to be late." I sat her down at the table. Might as well make pancakes.

After successfully making the pancakes, she ate and we walked down to the car. I had to get out, sign her in, walk her to her class, and then walk all the way out. Fun. I drove home and got in the shower. Now, I have to work. Yay.

*After Work*

I drove home, wanting to return to my bed. I walked up the stairs, trying to find the key. I unlocked the door and fell on the couch. I had extra paperwork to do because Brandon is a slacker. He asked if I could finish it for him. How rude. But of course I said yes.

(That was not good.. I'm sorry.)
