Diving In: Book Two

Caleb's Point of View

Call me batshit crazy but, I was on a date with

Melanie. Nia was right, I shouldn't be screwing in

parking lots. I need to buck up and settle down.

Melanie was growing on me, which is crazy. After

the whole parking lot fiasco we decided to chill a

few nites here and there, and get to know each

other. She's from the Midwest, smart but not the

brightest. Her eyes are beautiful, but her laugh is a

little shrill. Her tits were perfect, but her ass was

small. If we were gonna be together, I realized I

would have to settle.

We were at Ché Amrie, a little French spot

downtown. The wine was good and the

conversation wasn't bad either. But goodness all I

wanted was to push past those lips again.. Both

sets. Chill, Ackerman- I thought to myself. I needed

to take things slow, for all the right reasons.

"So Mel, as you know, I am beginning a family here

really soon. You met the mother of my childr- the

mother of my child." I almost slipped! Don't get me

wrong, this whole Mel thing is cool and all, but she

wasn't close enough to me to know all my business. 

"Oh yes, I wish it had been under different

circumstances.." She didn't go on much.

"Yeah, so do I.. So you know if this lasts past our

little meetings here and there, you'll be around my

little one. Are kids a deal breaker for you?"

"No not at all, I love kids." Her smile lit up. Good,

no extra bullshit should come from this, right?

"That's really great to hear, I can't wait." I finished

my wine and signaled for the check. "Your place or

mine baby?"

I felt a soft foot run up my leg. "Yours." She purred.
