Hayden's Desire

Chapter 5

Arriving home after my brothers' play, I give Cassian a bath and read him a bed time story before kissing his forehead, whispering, "Good night, Cassian, I love you baby boy."

Walking into my bedroom and into my bathroom, I take a quick shower before finishing the rest of my nightly routine before throwing on a pair of gray sweatpants and a black tank top before climbing into bed. Today and last night has made me exhausted but I want to text Tristan my address and most importantly text Adam.

"Hey Adam, it's the guy from the cafe' earlier today with the little boy," I send to Adam after texting Tristan.

"Hey cutie I remember you and your equally adorable son. I never did catch your name handsome."

Blushing and very thankful Adam cannot see me. "My name is Hayden West. never did catch your last name Adam."

"Easton, the last name is Easton." Intersting both of our last names are a direction. Me like very much so. Adam and I spend the next two and a half hours texting. I haven't laughed or learned as much as I have in that time than I did tonight.

At the end of our night, he sends me a text reading, "I have Tuesday night off and I was wondering if you are free and would like to go on a date with me?"

Giggling and bouncing a little on my bed in excitment. "I would love to and yes I'm free as long as I can find a babysitter for Cassian." Mmm, dad might be able to especially if I tell him it is for a date. I swear some days that man is worse than a anyone else about me dating.

"Perfect let me know a.s.a.p. so I know when to start planning the perfect, or I hope perfect date for you."

Giggling like a teenage girl as my blush deepens but I gleafully type back, "I will let you know as soon as I ask my sitter if he is available Tuesday night. Have a good night, Adam, sweet dreams, I'm heading to bed myself. Hayden xx"

Leaning over to my end table to grab my charger cord to plug in my phone, as Adam texts back; "Sweet dreams, Hayden. Hope you dream of me because I know I will be dreaming of you all night. Adam xx"

Grinning I send back a quick winky emoji before plugging my phone in, checking my alarms for the morning since I have work and collge stuff to do in the morning before Cassian is awake and my brothers arrive so I can talk to dad before he leaves for work about watching Cass Tuesday night.

5 a.m. comes quicker than I liked; sighing I climb out of bed to start my morning off with a shower before brushing my teeth and hair and using the toilet before walking in the kitchen to make a pot of coffee to start my day off right while I work on college first and then work stuff.

Dad arrives at the house at 7 a.m. and I've already finished my collge course work and most of my work stuff. Stretching as I open the door to let my dad and brothers inside the house with a tired smile.

"Morning boys, morning dad," I grumble out before taking a sip of coffee. I'm going to need a nap today when Cassian takes one this afternoon.

"Morning Hayden," Harper and Hadley happily chirp out as the bounce into the house and drop their school bags by the front door for when we need to leave the house and walk to the end of my drive for them to catch the bus.

"Morning Hayden, how much sleep did you get last night son?" dad asks he closes the door behind him.

"Not enough," I grunt out as I head back into the kitchen to pour more coffee and give dad a fill on his travel mug that he brought in with him.

"Boys have been fed; thanks for the refil," dad says taking a sip carefully.

"Okay, quick question can you watch Cassian tomorrow night for a couple of hours, I have a possible date if you can." I ask him as I sit at the table to finish my last email for work and then I'm done for the day.
