5. Girls Night

Amanda

Dad called earlier and asking my whereabouts, I told him that I was having a girls night at Angelica's and I'm in a secure apartment complex.

"Just be careful okay, the cops said that Troy was at his residence when the fire incident took place. You know that he was out on good behavior, so our lawyer is still trying to put a restraining order against him. Meanwhile, I need you to be on guard he could easily put someone to the task..." dad went on talking until he finally ended the call a hour later.

I was exhausted just listening to him, my life suddenly turned very dark in just a couple of days. I didn't realize that I shed a tear, until little Mable came up to me and wipe it away with her little hand.

"Are you okay aunt Amanda? Do you want me to hug you? My daddy always hug me every time I'm sad and it always makes me feel better." The pig tailed little girl said sweetly at me.

I couldn't resist her charm so I smile at her and open my arms, she was hugging me tight and rubbed my back.

"You're right Mable, this feels good. Thank you." I released her and kissed her cheek.

"Now, that you're good, let's carry on with painting my nails. Aunt Angie is still feeding baby Dennis, I want purple nails with glitters on them." She gave me her adorable toothy grin, making me smile widely at her.

We were still in our silly make up from earlier, green eye shadow and sloppy deep red lipstick. She was saying she wanted her eyes just like Pascal, the chameleon from Rapunzel.

"You are just the cutest aren't you Rapunzel? Come I'll do your nails then you can do mine, I want rainbow color nails can you do that? Are you up for the challenge?" I said as she was skipping her way to the so called nail station that Angie had set up in front of the TV.

Her favorite cartoon show was still on, and she quickly sit down on the lush pillows giving me her out stretched hands. We were laughing to her cartoon as I did her nails, her chubby little hands were just too cute as I gave her my best work for the purple glitter nail polish. She giggled excitedly, when I finished with her nails.

"Don't tell aunt Angie, but you do better nails than her. Thank you...Thank you...Thank you!" She gave me her little hug, making my heart sighed in delight.

Then it was her turn in polishing my nails, it was a mess of color rainbow nails, but I thanked her none the less and her face was beaming with pride.

"My teacher said that I'm getting better at coloring inside the lines...."

"What? Seriously? Well she hasn't seen your latest work then...you should be the best in your class with what you did to my nails." I showed her the messy end result, she knows that she was not that good, making both of us laugh in unison.

"I like you aunt Amanda, please don't ever be sad you look pretty with a smile on your face." She took my face and kissed my cheek.

"That's it! You are getting too sweet for me, come let's fill you with more sweetness, let's see if we can live on the wild side and dive ourselves in some ice cream goodness..."

She was giggling when I pick her up in my arms, she was wearing her cute purple Rapunzel pajamas when I seated her on the kitchen counter. I pulled out two pints of ice cream that I brought earlier. She was clapping and grinning anxiously, waiting for what's to come.

"Now, let's be naughty and eat it from the container! You want chocolate or the purple bubble gum one? Mmm....let me take a wild guess...with your nails, your jammies, your blanket, I'd say you want the chocolate one?" I teased her making her laugh louder.

"No? Okay... let me go out and get you the strawberry one..." I teased her again, making body shook as she was giggling again.

"Nooo! Aunt Amanda! I want the purple bubblegum one...." She was still laughing while reaching out for the purple ice cream.

I finally gave it to her, when Angie came into the room finding both of us on the kitchen counter eating our ice cream while laughing our asses off.

"Well...well...I'm not sure your daddy will approve of this late night snacking. Amanda, this is not a very good example..." Angelica scolded at both of us while she put the baby monitor on the counter. We were suddenly quiet realizing that baby Dennis was asleep already.

"Hmmft ... her daddy is not here, let her have some fun mom! Here eat this and I'll do your nails..." I said to Angie as I gave her the rest of my ice cream.

She finally smiled and join Mable on the kitchen counter while I pulled up a chair and the nail kit then start doing her nails.

Two hours later Mable was fast asleep in front of the TV, after eating two large pizza slices.

"I never knew you're good with kids?" Angie asked as we were cleaning up after our very very messy sleep over.

"Yeah, I just find out...I guess I'm just good at everything." I grinned at her.

"So? How about it? Just stay at mine get your things delivered here, you can even do your painting here, the living room has the biggest windows and the best lighting. And I rather have you at my place than renting it out to a stranger." She was pushing the issue again.

I finally said my yes at her, and she hugged me excitedly.

"But I'm paying rent, if not I'll search someplace else."

"Okay...okay.. It's a deal!" She hugged me again and we finally rest for the night.

******

I was just about to get up when the front door was knocked. Angelica was about to go check on Dennis, and retreated back to the living room.

"I'll get it, you go pick up Dennis...." I said to her as I got up, she thanked me and went to Dennis's room.

I opened the door, obviously forget that I was still in my pajamas, I didn't even wear my bra.

"You should not open the door in this attire, this is dangerous..." the single daddy, the hot coffee guy that I hated said sexily while roaming his eyes on my body.

I was doing the same, as I looked at his tall muscular body, his t shirt was snug showing off his figure making me bite my lip, my hands were itching to touch him.

"Dale! come in...Mable is still sleeping, why are you two staring at each other? Amanda, let him in will you.. he's bringing his special brew. I know you're going to love it." Angelica called out with Dennis in her arms.

Then Dale told her to feed Dennis while he sets up his thing, he walked in front of me smelling like soap and aftershave.

Hmm... this is how coffee man smells in the morning...

I decided to put on my hoodie not sure of my morning smell, but he looked disappointed. But not for long, as his eyes started to wonder to my legs.

Men...

"Eyes up here Dale..." I scolded him.

He was babbling about something, but my sense of smell was directed to the coffee blend that he brought.

This is what heaven would smell like...

"Daddy, why are you here already?" The little princess woke up hearing her daddy, but looked disappointed that he might actually come to pick her up.

"Hey cutie, I think your dad misses you. Come sit with me, let see what he can do with his special blend. Smells good by the way..." he smiled and thanked me, as I complimented his coffee blend.

But he raised an eyebrow looking at me funny, when Mable decided to sit in my lap and rest her head on my chest, while she rubbed her eyes with her knuckles.

"Sorry but we kind a have a wild girls night last night..." I grinned at him showing him my nails making him laugh.

Hmmm....I like his laugh, it's deep and sexy...

Then Mable dive into our conversation, as she started telling her dad about our girls night. He looked amuse at me while finishing off on his french press. He moves graciously in the kitchen, I never knew tall and muscular man can look so delicious by the kitchen counter.

Inner self: Ermm... a bit too fast don't you think? with the incident and all...you should seriously slow down.

Coffee self: Not with that special blend he's not...do you know how hard it is to find good coffee made by a sexy hot single man?

Maybe I should slow down, I haven't even tasted it...

"....right aunt Amanda?" the little kid on my lap asked me out of the blue.

"Eh...what was right?"

Dale let out another deep laugh that made my insides happy.

Not good...
