Kc and I both were a little relieved when Johnny finally warmed up to her and accepted her as his mom, just for the fact that he thought Kylie was his mom and he knew she was dead...he just didn't understand that he was taken away from Kc when he was still just a baby and that she loved him very much and just wanted to be part of his life. Johnny was getting sleepy after all the activity he did today and was now laying in my arms sleepily watching as Kc was trying to skip the stones herself, I had to say she was almost getting better at it than me, and that wasn't easy to do, because I was a pro at it. But I was relieved when she gave up after she got her last stone to skip a whopping 38 times before it sank, and my record of 66 skips was still intact. 

The sun was just about getting ready to go down and the evening air was getting a little chilly on our skin, so I stood up and carried our lil man back to the vehicle where Klayton was still sitting on the hood of the car talking away like a broken record to Shannon, and she was just as much of a chatterbox and totally enamored with Klayton. I chuckled to myself as I put Johnny in the vehicle and locked him in his car seat, then told him that it was about time for bed, and we had a lil ways to go before we made it to the hotel room that we still had rented out to us. Klayton slid off the hood as he pulled out the keys from his pocket and said that he knew that, and the only difference was he was going to have company this time as he pulled Shannon closer to him. 

I slapped his head and told him not with Johnny staying in the room with us he wasn't, but I turned to Shannon and said she was welcome to stay with us though, but just no hanky-panky with a toddler in the midst. Shannon said she agreed totally, and that she had no intentions of having hanky panky with anyone, and that she was just wanting to spend some time with Klayton and see if they clicked good enough to try a relationship on for size, but by no means was she even ready to have sexual contact with any guy. Klayton lowered his head in mild disappointment but said that was fine with him, as long as he was allowed to snuggle and maybe steal a kiss or two.

Klayton then hopped in the driver's seat and told us all to hurry up and shake our tail feathers because he was getting ready to head out. Shannon slid in beside him on the passenger side as I crawled in the back seat so I could sit next to Johnny. Kc stood outside and just looked in at all of us. I dropped the sound of silence and asked her if she was going to join Johnny and me at the hotel, or if she was just wanting to go back to her home. Kc had a slight spark go thru her eyes as she hopped in on the far side of Johnny's car seat and said she would love to join us. I smiled at her as I reached my hand out to her, she looked at me with an expression I hadn't seen in a very long time, then she placed her hand in mine. Everyone was very quiet for the remainder of the trip until we got to the hotel room, but I was happy to say Kc didn't let go of my hand until the car stopped in the parking lot, and that was just because I had to carry Johnny into the room.

It sure didn't take Klayton and Shannon long at all to get into some sleepwear and hop in the bed together, I couldn't help but laugh to myself at the sight of my buddy totally acting like a naughty schoolboy. Kc gently pushed me into the other room as she told me she thought it was adorable how they clicked together, and that they looked like a perfect couple. I slid under the covers after I looked over at Johnny that was peaceful with his stuffed bunny tucked under his arm sleeping in the huge bean bag I bought for him because he just hated the hotel beds, not that I could blame him, because I wasn't very fond of them myself, they were way too hard and the pillows were flatter than pancakes, it took at least three of them stacked to make a decent pillow. 

Kc came out of the bathroom wearing my white Affliction T-shirt as a nightie, as she hesitantly crawled in next to me. I turned off the nightstand light and just stared up at the ceiling fan watching it slowly rotate as it gave us a little-circulated air, when out of the blue, Kc slowly but gently placed her hand on my chest and asked me if there was any chance at all for her to get me to go out with her and that in the very short time she spent with me and her son, she was falling for both of us, and she wasn't sure if she could handle watching her son walk out of her life a second time.

 Even though I was jumping on the inside at her offer and interest in me, but I didn't want her to think that I was being too willing, so I laid there and thought about it for a while, before I let out a sigh and told her that I would consider the possibility of us going on a trial run to see if we would work out as a loving couple wanting to share our lives with our son. All of Kc's tension that I felt her having just fluttered out the window so to speak as she said that was great, then asked if we would be doing the dating thing here or back in Vegas, because she overheard me earlier telling Klayton that I had to get back home soon. I rolled over to face her and asked her if she wouldn't mind going to Vegas with Johnny and me, that it would be much better for me, because I needed to get back to work, and my family were tearing my phone up wanting their grandson/nephew back home for them to spoil and play with.
