Damon

Once I put Emma in bed, I walk into my bathroom and begin to strip. I turn on the water and walk into the steaming shower. I let the water burn my skin as I stand and think. I think about my soon to be ex wife. I think about my girls. I think about my job.

I think about Elle.

After a good twenty minutes I step out and dry my hair before wrapping a towel around my waist. I walk into my room to hear my phone vibrating. I pick it up from my nightstand to see Elle's number across the screen.

Fuck, how could I forget?

I wanted her to come over tonight. I still do, but with Emma here I'm not sure if she would want to. She doesn't know I have a daughter. The phone stops ringing and I sigh before throwing it on my bed.

Fuck it. I call her back and she answers in the second ring. Her angelic voice comes through the phone and I automatically feel better.

"Baby? You there?"

"I'm here." She says.

"You called?" I ask through the phone.

"Yeah, um well I wanted to know if I could still come over? You know if it's okay with you? I mean if you're busy then-"

"Baby?" I interrupt her and I hear her take a deep breath as I try not to laugh at her being nervous.

"Yes?"

"Please come over."

Elle

What the fuck was I thinking?

I throw my phone on Lea's bed and put my hands behind my head before pacing her room. I took the biggest leap, calling him like that to see if he actually wanted me to come over and he didn't fucking answer.

"Maybe he's busy?" Lea says from her spot in front of her vanity. I run my hands through my hair, a little disappointed. I had straightened my hair and re did my minimal makeup to look decent for this. Not to mention I shaved and now I'm wearing the shortest pair of shorts that Lea owns which are extra short due to our difference in size, and a criss cross purple tank top that shows off my boobs with a simple pair of brown sandals.

"Yeah maybe." My phone rings and I almost lunge for it.

"It's him!" I answer it and we talk for a minute with my ear pressed to one side and Lea's pressed to the other.

"Please come over." He says huskily through the phone, his voice sends a jolt of electricity straight to my lady bits and I bit my lip, looking at Lea.

"I'm on my way." I haven't hung up the phone yet when Lea screams.

"You're sooooo getting dicked down tonight!"

"Lea!"

I hear a deep chuckle and my face flushes in embarrassment.

"I'll be waiting baby." The call ends and I turn to glare at her.

"Whoops?" She says unapologetically and grabs Jacobs keys from her dresser.

"Come on, I'll drop you off at your dick appointment." I roll my eyes before grabbing my bag and jumping into the truck.

"What's in there anyway?" Lea nods to my bag as she starts the car, but doesn't leave yet.

"I just brought a change of comfy clothes, a toothbrush, deodorant, perfume, money, and mints."

"Please let me see the 'comfy clothes' you packed." I unzip my bag and pull out my black shorts and gray t-shirt. Lea grabs the items of clothing from my hand and throws them in the backseat, ignoring my protests.

Lea jumps out of the truck, running inside.

Is this girl crazy?

Probably.

I wait before she runs out, with clothes in her hand.

"Here." She throws them on my lap and turns out of her parents drive way.

"What the fuck is this?" I hold up the set of 'pajamas' she took from her house.

Baby pink shorts that barely cover the length of my hand, say "I miss you" across the butt, and a baby pink spaghetti strap that says "I love you" on the boobs.

"Lea! I can't wear these in front of him!"

"Yes you can and you will! He's going to love it."

Before I can protest further something else catches my eye. A small piece of white lace is in my lap.

"Lea... No." I pick up the piece of lace and open it up. A small ALL LACE white thong with a little baby pink bow on the front is in my hands and she laughs maniacally.

I groan as I stuff the small clothing items in my bag and huff as I zip it back up.

I give her his address and a short while later we pull into his driveway.

"I will never get tired of this house." I say as Lea gawks at it.

"This is where Coach Russell lives ? Holy fucking shit they pay him too much."

My palms start getting sweaty and I realize this is the second time I've been to his house.

I text him to tell him I'm here and not a moment later my phone dings.

Damon: it's unlocked. Come up to my room.

I take a deep breath before thanking Lea and making my way to his front door. I open the door and step inside before locking it behind me. I pop my fingers as I walk up the dark stairs and into his hallway. His door is partially open and I can see the light shining into the hallway. I get giddy as I walk closer to it before I hear a noise behind me.

"Daddy?"

What in the fuck

I freeze and turn around. I see a small girl with brown hair standing by a door, clutching a pink teddy bear to her chest. She walks a little bit farther into the hallways towards me. She stares up at me with big blue eyes.

She could be Damon's little twin. Her soft baby voice breaks me out of my daze.

"Who you?"

I'm too shocked to say anything as I crouch down to her height. She slowly walks closer to me, but before I can speak I hear another, deeper voice.

"Baby? Is that you?"

I don't turn when I hear Damon's voice. I'm too fascinated with the beautiful little girl standing in front of my crouched form.

"Daddy." Damon flicks the light on in the hallway and the little girl rubs her big blue eyes before looking from him to me again.

I stand now and turn towards Damon, his eyes move between me and his daughter before he settles his eyes on me.

"I can explain." He whispers and puts his hands up in defense.

"Explain what?" I ask confused and his eyes dart to the small girl standing besides me.

"You don't have to explain anything to me."
I shake my head. He opens his mouth to speak, but I cut him off when I look down after feeling a tug on my sweater. Her big blue eyes are staring up at me curiously. This poor baby. Waking up with a random person in her home. She stares a little longer before reaching up and making grabby hands at me, her poor teddy bear abandoned on the floor.

"Uhhh.. Damon?"

I turn towards him. This is so fucking awkward. I try not to laugh at the look on his face as he stares between me and her.

"Uhh yeah. Princess why are you awake?" He quickly changes the subject, putting his hands on his hips. She ignores him and steps closer to me still wanting to be picked up.

"Can I?" I ask, not wanting to impose. Damon nods so I lean down and pick up the little girl who automatically lays her head on my chest.

Well isn't this nice.
