Her pulling away he’d follow after her for a moment but let her pull away, smiling. “See you then....” he watched her go, smiling at her. Well, he was looking forward to the next night....he’d have to find a good place to take her.

“Yes Kal?” He raised an eyebrow at her. The kiss though he’d chuckle at, leaning in and kissing her deeply, holding her into it. His hand would be at her hip, holding her hard to him as he continued to kiss her.

Kal felt him brushing against her and there would even be alight moan at one point that she hoped the water running would drown out. Once the food was packed away for Derrick to take she placed it in an easy to carry bag, but she needed to put her hands on the counter and breathe. He was attractive, he was kind, he had deep eyes, and that voice of his was just a reminder that Kal hasn’t had sex in years. But he has, sex is even in his work out routine! This was a torture.

He would move plates to the sink so he could wash them, making sure to be as helpful as possible. And also brush against her as much as possible. What can he say, he wanted to remind her he was here in case she wanted to rethink her no kiss on the first dinner rule.

“ Maybe. We’ll see how well you do then.” She was smiling and then she heard the boys in the bathroom getting loud and she sighed, calling out to them in Spanish. That’s when they knew she meant business. They would quiet and Kal would chuckle. “ I suppose I should clean up and make you a to-go bag.” 

“I’ll do my best,” He chuckled, nodding slightly at her.  “Let me help you out with cleaning up, its the least I can do,” he’d stand up, looking to help.

Kal chuckled and would lean back, sighing softly then look at the time. “Boys, it’s time to go get cleaned up for bed.” She’d clap her hands, and it would follow with the “aw mom” as they would be turning everything off and heading toward the bathroom to get ready for bed. Kal sighed but she smiled at Derrick. “ Probably for the best, I don’t usually kiss on the first dinner I make a guy.” 

He chuckled as they went to get ready for bed, shaking his head. Smiling back at Kal he nodded. “I get it....maybe on the second dinner?” What could he say, he was hopeful.

Kal was tempted to actually kiss him but she knew that doing so right now would be a bad move. And yet temptation was there. Couldnt’ blame her! Grinning she did lean in a little more but then she heard Damian’s voice. “Are you two going to kiss?” 

He smiled as she leaned in, shifting himself closer....when Damian’s voice broke through and he turned his head to look toward where it came from. “...apparently not.”

“ Different how?” She chuckled. “ As long as he’s nice and good with kids. I trust you, so I trust him by association.” Leaning in she’d just smile at him. “I look forward to it.”

“Different in, even though I’m the younger brother, I’m mistaken as older. You’ll see when you meet him, I promise,” he chuckled, smiling as she leaned in, moving a hand gently over hers.

“If your brother is anything like you I’m sure the boys will love him. How about tomorrow night? It’s short notice but I haven’t really had a long weekend off in months and I would like to make the most of it. I’m sure the boys would be fine with it.” And they would be, after all they’re trying themselves to set mom up with the cool mafia guy down the hallway.

“He’s a bit different...” he laughed, scratching his chin. “But he’s nice and good with kids. Trust me you’ll like him,” he nodded, smiling. “I can work with tomorrow no problem. I know a good place we can go.”

Leaning in to him as well, Kal grinned. “You could ask me on that real date and find out if you’re brave enough.” The boys were too busy playing to listen in, and he did say he wouldn’t do it in front of the Mario Kart cheaters!

“I’m definitely brave enough, don’t you worry about that,” he licked his lips and nodded at her. “What would be the best time for a date? My brother could babysit the boys you know...”

She would let him if he offered, she hated her ex that much.  Kal chuckled. “They have wild imaginations. The last neighbor we had they were so sure he was working for the CIA.” Taking notice of his eyes wandering over her she would grin at him. “ Especially if they saw half of what was in my closet. Or in a locked drawer by the bed.”  Leaving things for his imagination? Why not? It’s the least she could do.

He smirked, leaning in slightly to her. “Oh really?I have a feeling you’d have things that would make a man weep...” He’d took a bite of the cake, staring into her pretty blues.

Kal laughed lightly. “You don’t have to be. Just…After Damian happened and I found out that I was going to have him like clockwork his dad was gone. I should have expected it after Andre but second chances and all that…Then he was born and I had two boys to look after. Meeting guys wasn’t really on my agenda. I couldn’t really fit it in to my agenda.Being a single mom, two kids, working a great job but with unstable hours…” Kal shook her head slowly. “After that I swore I’d not even give their father that chance to get me into bed again. But he’s tried when he’s come around.” Kal grumbled, stabbing her fork into her piece of cake. “I didn’t mean to vent all of that, but you’re a nice guy, my boys like you and I just want you to know right off what comes with knowing us Lyceon’s. “ she didn’t even let the boys have their father’s last name, though they had fought about it once before.  “ But what you do is fine. Having sex is fine. I’m a mom, not a nun.”

He was honest and she liked that about him. She would chuckle nervously and shrug. “When I can I go to the park with the boys, play sports with them. Mostly I stay on my feet at work or running back and forth to school meetings or deliveries…” Taking another bite of cake she’d turn pink in the cheeks. “ I haven’t done the bedroom activities since…Damian was conceived.” 

“Sounds nice,” he smiled. But at her saying she hadn’t done anything since Damian he blinked in surprise at her. “Thats....fine...sorry I’m just not a person whose good at going without those things for awhile.”

“ The way I see it, the boys are active enough and can burn it off easily enough and you - “ she paused looking at him carefully as though she were imagining what she looked like under that shirt of his. She couldn’t see what he had going on but she could imagine. “ - I’m sure you’ll be fine.”  The boys were anxious to get a slice of cake which they would scarf down without breathing and Kal just shook her head. “Would you like a slice, Derrick?” Though once the boys were done, it’d leave the adults time to talk at the table while they went back to their game.

Kal chuckled and the boys huffed as they ate their dinner, though once that was complete Kal would bring out the cake she made. A chocolate cake with frosting just the same, only she had some fun decorating it and making it fancy. The boys eyes lit up and they were excited for the cake as any child would be for sweets! 

He’d eat the dinner happily, enjoying it completely. He felt he had to eat as much as possible, it was so good. Seeing the cake he whistled at it, smiling at her. “You’re looking to fatten us up huh?”
