'Melted Minty's and a Coffee Date Promise'

"Come on Charlie, we're going to be late for school!"

On this Monday morning, I'm rushed to get everything ready. We overslept and now everything is a whirlwind. My blouse is half unbuttoned and I'm struggling to get my long hair tied neatly.

"Just five more minutes Mommy!"

I grab his lunch box and my bag before turning the TV off. I shouldn't let him watch in the mornings but it gives me the chance to make the beds and get ready.

"We don't have five more minutes', honey! I'm sorry! We're already late as it is." Charlie did not look happy with me.

"Where are your shoes? Dammit, Charlie! I told you 20 minutes ago to put them on!"

He's pulling a puffer fish face sitting with his arms crossed. God help me, I don't have the strength for this today! It feels like he is testing me every day, driving me to limits I never knew existed! I feel like I want to crawl back into bed and pull the sheets over my head. Being a mother is not easy; being a single mother is even harder!

I have yet another interview today. I'm not even hopeful anymore, they all play out the same way. "Thank you for coming in Miss, we'll be in touch!" and they never do.

"How about we make a deal? After school, I will take you for an ice cream and when we get back you can watch this show again."

I see a small smile forming and I know I am winning here.

"I guess, but only if you promise?"

"I promise! Now can we please go?" he jumps up and grabs his backpack running out the door. On the way out I noticed the piled up, unpaid bills. If it gets any higher we might struggle to open the door, but I can't worry about that right now!

The ride to school consisted of honking and people pulling birdies. I ashamedly have to admit I contributed to a few of them. I should watch my behaviour; Charlie started mimicking my every move.

He is really quiet in the car. I'm watching him in the review mirror and not even our song Happy from Pharrell Williams is putting him in a good mood.

"Are you excited for school?" He caught my eye in the mirror.

"I guess so?" Great, he's not giving me much. I'll have to drag it out of him.

"Do you like your new teacher?" his eyes immediately light up.

"Yes! Mr. Styles is really nice! I like him a lot more than Mrs. Reed. He's so funny Mommy!"

He? I didn't know Charlie had a male teacher?

When we pulled into the parking all the kids were already inside. I also noticed some parents talking to a young man I haven't seen before! Charlie jumps out and runs to his class.

"Hey! What about my kiss?" He turns around and blows a kiss my way. He deserves so much more. I am failing big time! I'd like to give him the world!

Something caught my eye on the backseat and it's Charlie's lunch box. Feeling rushed I run after him but he's already inside.

The new guy is a lot younger than I expected. They refer to him as Mr. Styles. He looks the part! The black skinny jeans are fitting him like a glove and my eyes kept wondering to his legs. He paired it with a very unusual shirt, and I am fascinated by it, I can imagine it keeps the kids busy for a while. His curly hair is hanging down below his shoulders. Dear lord, his smile, I'm positive it can light up a room.

When he finishes up with the other parents I take my chance to get his attention.

"Excuse me, Sir!" I say as I run a bit closer to him.

When he turned around he had a small frown between his eyes, furrowing them together.

I don't think I have ever seen anyone this beautiful! Neither of us was saying anything when I decided to break the silence.

"Sorry to bother you! I was hoping you can do me a favour?" he took a few steps towards me before I continued. "My son Charlie's left his lunch in the car, would you mind giving it to him?"

"So you are Charlie's mom?" He holds his hand out towards me and I can hear my heart beating rapidly.

"Yes, I am Harper, pleased to meet you?"

"Oh I am Harry, please to meet you, Harper! Charlie has told me all about you!"

I don't know if that's a good thing or not! I instantly pray he's only sharing the good bits with his teacher...Like how his mom is a very good cook and flosses every night or something like that.

"I won't believe everything he says, he's got a big imagination!"

His eyes are so green, and I found it difficult to look away.

"I would like to talk to you about something but I can't right now, class has started. How about we meet up later, after school?"

"Today? I promised Charlie I would take him for an ice cream." I knew Charlie will be very upset with me if I don't keep my promise.

"Okay, I can join you for a cup of coffee if you won't mind? You can give me a call later with the details?"

I got a bit flustered knowing he will be sitting that close to me.

"Sure! I'll see you after school then?" I turn away to head back to my car when I hear his voice again.

"Harper..." I swing around so fast I almost lose my balance.

"Yeah?"

"You'll need my number for that!" He confirms with a smirk, his eyes playful.

"Oh right..." I start looking through my bag frantically digging for my phone. I found it right at the bottom. Harry chuckles a bit when he noticed how sticky it is.

"Sorry it was in the bag with a minty, it must've melted?" I'm so embarrassed! He can be glad it's not one of the other things in my bag. I honestly have a half eaten muffin, stale Salty Cracks, a pack of opened Flings and probably a loose tampon in there.

The joys of having a kid, not that the tampon has anything to do with it.

Harry is entering his number. He doesn't seem fazed by my sticky mess.

"I'll wait to hear from you Harper!" Our hands brushed when he gave my phone back to me and I felt a funny feeling. I think it is called butterflies. I haven't felt them in forever, I didn't know that they were still alive in me!

I chuck my phone back into my bag of chaos. I nod, not trusting my own voice.

"Oh, and Harper... You've missed a few buttons!" He said pointing at my shirt.

SHIT!!
