Sighing, my thumb pressed on the answer button as I brought the phone back to my ear. "Hello?"

"Is this Mr. Hiddleston?"

"That'd be me, yes. Is something wrong?"

"This is Mrs. White, Jacob's teacher. I'm calling to inform you that your son has received detention for being late for the fourth time to his Earth Science class. He had been warned repeatedly but he was five minutes late to class today again. If he is late to class again I'm afraid he will be getting a referral and double detention."

I shook my head, "I will speak to him today. It won't happen again Mrs."

"Thank you Mr. Hiddleston, have a nice day."

The call ended and I swiped my thumb down the screen of my phone searching for Zach's name.

"Hey, man," I said.

"Sup?"

"Jacob got in trouble at school today so his teacher was calling me."

"Ah. What'd he do?"

"He was late for class for like, the fourth time. Anyways, you coming tonight?"

"Yep. Is Luke coming over too?"

"Think so. Yeah."

"Alright, see you at around 7 then."

"Ok, bye. See ya."

Glancing down at my watch, it was time to go pick up Jacob from school. I pocketed my phone, grabbed my keys from the kitchen counter, and made my way to the silver Audi sitting on my driveway. The drive to the school was short and soon enough I was pulling up in front of the institute. My eyes spotted Jacob standing by the entrance but I was surprised to see him with another boy talking excitedly. He hadn't noticed me until I honked the car's horn, making his head snap in my direction. He made his way to the car followed closely by his companion.

"Dude. Nice car," Jacob's friend said to him.

"Thanks," Jacob replied with a smile, one that I had rarely seen in a while. "Hey dad, can we give him a ride home?"

"Sure, hop in," I said, noticing Jacob's pleading tone. I took in the other teen's appearance, black skinny jeans, a shirt with some band printed on it, and a pair of Converse high tops

They both smiled, his friend climbing into the back seat first, who was soon followed by Jacob which made me raise my eyebrow. What was I now? His chauffeur? I let it go and turned around in my seat to look at them.

"So..." I said looking for a name to match the face.

"Zack, sir. Zack Taylor. Nice to meet you." He extended his hand towards me and I took it into a tight grip. Maybe a tad bit too tight due to Zack's slight wince.

"I'm Jacob's father, you may call me Tom," I said, releasing his hand and turning back around to face the street as I started the car. "Where do you live?"

He gave me his address followed by a few directions. During the ride, the silence became rather awkward, no sound coming from either of them except when they squirmed uncomfortably in their seat. I glanced back at them through the rear view mirror. I noticed Zack stealing a glance at Jacob who was staring out the window, and a small smile made its way to Zack's face. He quickly averted his eyes from him when Jacob turned to look at him timidly, a blush forming on his cheeks. I tried extremely hard not to smile too wide when I saw the small gesture.

I pulled up to a relatively small house, big enough for a small family, and parked the car in the driveway. Zack opened the door and stepped out of the car, turning around to offer a smile at Jacob.

"Thank you for the ride, sir." He looked at me as he pulled his house keys out of his pocket.

"No problem," I replied sincerely. I suddenly realized that there was no one at his house and that he probably had to walk back from school every day. "Hey, um... Do you walk home every day? Your house is pretty far from school."

"Yes, my dad can't pick me up. He's not around much," he murmured and I could notice the sadness in his tone.

"Any chance he'll be home before dinner?"

He shook his head. "He never is."

"Would you like to join us? I have a few friends coming over and maybe you and Jacob can hang out at home."

His face lit up, even though he tried to hide it, and nodded eagerly. I drove back home after Zack got in and parked on the driveway. We all walked into the house together, Jacob and Zack made their way to Jacob's room while I walked towards the kitchen. I dropped my keys on the counter and walked over to Jacob's room. The door was slightly open but I knocked anyways to give him some sense of privacy.

"Yes?" I heard Jacob call.

"May I come in?" I asked pushing the door open a bit.

"Yeah."

Pushing the door open completely, I was greeted by the two of them sitting on the bed while playing video games. I smiled. "Do you guys want anything to eat and drink?"

Jacob paused the game and looked at Zack questioningly who just shrugged, obviously a bit shy as it was his first time over. Jacob chuckled and said, "Are there crisps?" I nodded and walked back to the kitchen knowing that's what he wanted. I placed some crisps on a big bowl and grabbed two sodas thinking they might want something to drink as well. I brought the bowl and drinks to Jacob's room, placing them on his desk. "Don’t make a mess."

"We'll try," I heard Jacob's reply as I walked out of the room.

I went to my bathroom for a quick shower before Zach and Luke arrived. The fridge was stacked with beer and I had a few snacks prepared. At around 7:10 there was a knock on the door and walked over to open it, finding myself face to face with Zach.

"Hey man!" Zach said and hugged me tightly, patting my back three times.

I patted his back as well. "How're you? Come on in."

Zach stepped inside with a wide smile. "I'm great! How's Jacob?"

"In his room, playing video games with a friend."

Zach nodded and walked to Jacob's room to say hi, me following behind him. He opened the door without knocking. "Hey kiddo..." Zach froze as the two boys jumped up and away from each other. "Um... Sorry about that, just wanted to say hi."

"Hey Zach," Jacob muttered.

"Holy crap, you're Zach Levi," Zack whispered, his eyes wide open. "Uh... I - I loved you in Chuck. Well, I mean, your - your performance."

Zach chuckled at the teen's nervousness. "Thank you, I didn't think anyone watched it any more. Well, I'll leave you guys alone."

Zach closed the door and turned to look at me. "That was awkward. I didn't know he liked boys..."

"Yeah, he told me yesterday. Don't mention it though."

A knock on the door interrupted us. "That must be Luke."

I opened the door but Luke wasn't the only one standing there. A lovely lady with light brown hair and beautiful brown eyes was standing next to Luke with a smile on her face. I turned to Luke with an eyebrow raised questioningly, he hadn't said anything about bringing someone along with him. It didn’t bother me, but I just wasn't expecting anyone else.

"Oh! Right," Luke said noticing the slight awkwardness. "I believe you've met before but it was a long time ago. Tom this is Rosanna, Rosanna this is Tom."

I suddenly remembered who she was. "I remember now. You, um," I cleared my throat. "Kissed me."

She blushed bright red. "Yeah, I'm still really sorry about that."

"Don't worry about it, we can have a fresh start," I said smiling down at her. "Anyways come in guys, there's beer in the fridge, snacks, a pool and ping pong table, as well as some movies we can watch."

We all made our way to the kitchen to grab some beers while we caught up on each other's lives. We decided to play some pool at the den in my backyard. It was Rosanna and me against Luke and Zach and let's say some 50 dollars were involved as a bet. Rosanna knew the basics but she wasn't all that good so I had to help her make some of the shots. I could hear Zach snickering whenever I leaned over her in order to place her hand and fingers correctly on the table and make sure she pointed in the right direction. Luke didn't seem too happy about it and I kept noticing him glaring at me sometimes when he thought I wasn't paying attention. Once we had downed a few beers we were all more comfortable with each other and playing pool became just a tad bit harder. When 8:30 rolled around we ordered some pizzas and set up the table so we could eat.

The pizza arrived about 30 minutes later and I went over to Jacob's room to tell them that the pizzas were here. I knocked but I didn't get an answer so I opened the door slowly and was faced with a sight that made me smile widely. Jacob and Zack were asleep on the bed, Zack's arm draped over Jacob's chest and Jacob snuggled to Zack's chest. I contemplated the thought of waking them up but they seemed so comfortable and peaceful that I felt bad waking them up. So I closed the door quietly and walked back to the dining room where everyone was already seated waiting for me and the kids.

"They're not going to eat?" Luke asked.

I shook my head. "They fell asleep together."

"Aww, that's so cute," Rosanna giggled scrunching up her nose.

I smiled and sat down next to her which Luke didn't seem like he approved of. "Well, dig in."

By the time it was 12:30 Zach and Luke were each sprawled out on two of the couches sleeping while Rosanna and I talked about anything and everything out on the other couch in the den. And then out of nowhere we were making out on the couch. I had stopped and thought about Milagros for a second but I realized that I desperately needed to move on. I wasn't using Rosanna to get over my deceased wife but it was time that I let myself go a bit more than usual. Milagros wasn't coming back and there was nothing I could do about it, so I decided to go for it and see where this path takes me. I was laying on my back while Rosanna straddled me, our tongues battling each other lustily, begging for more. Rosanna began to unbutton my shirt when we were interrupted.

"Dad?"

I sighed in frustration and rose from the couch while Rosanna climbed off me. I turned to look at him over the back of the couch. "Yes?"

I saw him take in my ruffled appearance, hair pointing everywhere, lips plump and red, and my shirt open halfway.

"Oh sorry, I was just wondering where you were. I saw Luke and Zach in the living room but you weren't there."

"It's okay," I said even though that wasn't entirely true, but he didn't know so I just let it pass. "Did you need anything?"

"Oh, yeah. Did you order food? We fell asleep so we're not really tired anymore, we're hungry though."

"There's pizza in the fridge."

He nodded and walked out and back to the house. I dropped back onto the couch with a deep sigh, an evident bulge in my pants. Turning my head towards Rosanna I noticed her licking her lips and staring at me with her eyes full of lust, the next second she was straddling me again.

The next morning I was woken from my slumber by a slight buzzing noise. As I came to my senses I realized I was laying on the couch alone with only a blanket covering my waist and below. My hands gripped the blanket tightly around my waist and I stood up to search for my phone. Luckily we hadn't drank that much last night even though I still had a mild headache. Rosanna's clothes were nowhere to be seen. I shook my head, of course, I should have guessed it. She had only wanted to get into my pants to later ditch me without seeing me again. Good job you arse, you fell for it, I thought to myself.

I snapped out of my thoughts as my phone started buzzing again. Digging through my trousers' pockets, I pulled the phone out and answered without looking at the screen.

"Yes?" I answered groggily.

"Thomas, did you get drunk?"

"Hey mum. And no I didn't, only slightly."

"The guys went over yesterday?"

"Mmhmm. So why'd you call?"

"Something wrong?" I hated it how she knew me so well.

"No, all good," I lied.

I could see her raising her eyebrow just how I did. "Really now? You still think you can fool your old ma? Go on, tell me."

"Luke brought a girl with him yesterday."

"Uh-huh." She urged me to continue.

"Well, you know... Things happened but she wasn't here when I woke up."

"Ah, so you think she was just trying to have a one night thing with you?"

"Yes," I sighed.

"Well have you thought that maybe she had to go? Look around maybe she left a number somewhere."

"Nope, nada. At least not here."

"Where are you?"

"I'm back in the den. I would go check right now but I'm not exactly decent, Jacob has a friend over and Zach might still be here."

"I'll let you go get dressed then. If I don't get a call I'll just assume she left a number."

"'Kay, I'll call you later."

"No, you won't."

The call ended and I got dressed into last night's clothes quickly so I could go check. I looked at my phone which showed me it was a little after 10 am while I walked in through the back door of the house. As I walked in I could hear the TV on in the living room at a low volume and soft murmuring. I walked into the kitchen and saw a post it note with a number stuck to the fridge. My fingers pulled it from the metallic surface and I looked down at it.

Sorry I had to leave early in the morning. Call me later - Rosanna xoxo

A smile made its way to my face and I quickly saved the number to my phone so I could call her later. Snickering could be heard coming from the living room, raising my eyebrow questioningly I walked over and saw Jacob and Zack sitting on one of the couches while Zach was still passed out. I noticed something on Zach's face and when I squinted my eyes a drawing of a penis could be seen on his forehead. I burst out laughing, making the two boys turn to me in surprise as they hadn't noticed I was standing there. Zach woke up with a start, falling off over the edge of the couch and onto the carpeted floor, causing me to laugh even harder and the boys to laugh along with me.

Zach groaned grabbing his head. "What the hell? Oh, god. You guys are assholes."

I gasped trying to catch my breath, placing my hands on my knees as I doubled over. Zach lifted himself off the floor and shot a glare at me before going into the guest bathroom.

"JACOB, YOU LITTLE SHIT!" Zach yelled from the bathroom and came bursting through the door.

"Crap!" Jacob got up off the couch, ran to his room and almost managed to close the door but Zach was pushing it open as he was about to shut it. Zach slipped inside Jacob's room, tackling him to the ground and began to rub his knuckles roughly on the boy's head, making his scalp sting from the friction. Jacob was locked into a tight grip by Zach's arm when suddenly the older man began to tickle him crazily.

"That's what you get for drawing a dick on my face!"

Jacob struggled to set himself free from his trapped state and ended up elbowing Zach in the stomach. Zach groaned, letting go of a panting Jacob who immediately stood up and ran back to the living room. Zach walked out to the living room a few minutes later clutching his stomach, the drawing on his face now washed off.

"You're lucky I have a headache or I wouldn't have let you go."

Jacob laughed while he hid behind me but stopped when Zach glared playfully at him.

"I better get going though, I have a meeting later today. I'll see you guys later," Zach said as he collected his things and headed for the door. He waved and we all waved back before he stepped out and shut the door behind him.

"You were asking for that," I told Jacob with a chuckle.

"Yeah, I know." He dropped on the couch next to Zack and they continued to watch TV.

"I'm going to take a shower, don't do anything crazy."

I decided to take a bath instead and let myself relax for a while, not worrying about anything for some time was just what I needed. I reached for a small towel next to the tub, dried my hands and reached for my phone which sat on a small stool next to the me. My thumb scrolled down my contact list looking for Rosanna's name, I was going to call but decided to text her instead.

Hello. No, too cold. I erased the message and thought again. Hey ;) Too flirty? Hi. Too simple? I made my mind up and sent the text.

Hi! :) - TH

A few minutes passed although they felt like hours, which made me think I had said the wrong thing. While I worried myself, the phone vibrated in my hand and lit up, as did my face.

Hey Tom! What's up? Sorry I left so early but I had to work - RC

I smiled and then I remembered she hadn’t told me her last name last night and decided to ask her. I began typing but then I realized she asked what I was doing, should I tell her I was in the tub? No, definitely not the moment for that.

It's fine, darling. I'm just relaxing for a while. Hey, you never did tell me what your last name is. - TH

Darling? Haha. And it's Cooper - RC

I groaned. I called her darling, she probably didn't like it. Stupid Tom and your terms of endearment.

Oh. Sorry, just used to saying it. - TH

It's ok, I like it :) - RC

I sighed in relief, thought I had messed it up. I didn't know what to answer to that so I decided to ask what I'd wanted to since I texted her.

Are you free tomorrow evening? - TH

I might be... - RC

That little minx, pretending to have a busy schedule.

You might be? Well how about 6? We can catch a movie and then go to dinner - TH

Sounds good, I'll send you my address later. Gotta get back to work xo - RC

I smiled widely and set my phone back on the stool, I was going on a date with her.
