Stay

sleepover

I've read ya'lls reviews and answered your requests...enjoy :')

She's standing in front of the full length mirror dressed in her third outfit change as she prepares to go on her very first date with Peter. She has no idea where he's taking her and she doesn't know if jeans and a nice shirt will work, or maybe a pair of heels and a tight fitting dress. Then she remembers their plans after dinner and opts for her new purchase she made at the mall today; a navy dress that clung to her curves in all the right places. Olivia threw it back on and paired it with a pair of nude strappy heels along with a small golden pendant necklace. Her hair is parted down the middle and a few waves are added to give her volume. She takes one last good look in the mirror before going into the living room to spend a few more minutes with Noah before bedtime.

"Wow Noah, doesn't mommy look so pretty?" Lucy asks him from where they sat on the floor playing with cars.

"Uh huh," he says disinterested, knowing that he only had a few more minutes of playtime until it was time for bed. Olivia shakes her head laughing and looks over when she hears a knock on the door.

"Hey," Olivia swung the door open and rested her head on the door smiling small at him.

"I don't think I've ever seen you in anything besides slacks before. You look stunning," he steps closer and places his hand on her hip before leaning in for a quick kiss. She's thankful for the small hallway that tucks them away from Lucy and Noah.

"You don't look too bad yourself," he's dressed in medium washed jeans that are paired with a simple white button up. His shirt is tucked in and is complimented with a matching brown belt and dress shoes.

"You ready?"

"Just let me kiss Noah goodnight," he steps in and closes the door behind him.

"Noah, you remember Peter from the other day?" He looks up from the ground and smiles widely.

"I do! We're going to see a baseball game together."

"Heck yeah we are. Give me some up top," Peter bends the slightest and holds his hand up to high five him. Noah meets him and stands on his feet to slap his hand.

"That's going to be so much fun," Olivia ruffles his hair. "Tonight me and Peter are going to dinner and I won't be back until after breakfast tomorrow, okay?"

"Are you guys having a sleepover?" she knows the question is innocent but she can't help the blush that washes over her face.

"Something like that," she bends to kiss his forehead. "I love you so much. You be good for Lucy okay?"

"Love you mommy," he returns to playing with his toys and Olivia chuckles a bit.

"Thanks again Lucy. Call me if you need anything."

She's not surprised that they've arrived at a restaurant that she can hardly pronounce, and that only takes reservations. He handpicked a booth towards the quieter back end and was grateful for the privacy. She highly doubted anyone they knew would be here tonight, but she appreciated the effort.

"Looks like Noah has successfully made it to bed and is fast asleep. Which means you've got me to yourself for the rest of the night," Olivia locked her phone and threw it in her clutch.

"Can I be honest with you?" Peter sat across from her nursing a glass of wine. She shook her head anticipating his next answer. "I've never dated anyone with children."

"Really?" She tries not to sound panicked. Her mind swirls and dived deeply into what he may be leading to. Maybe he changed his mind about all this and needed a way out, or maybe introducing him to Noah was a little too much.
