Sunday morning she made sure she was up early and ready when he got there. She dressed and ready to go at 10.45 and waited for him. The waiting made the 15 minutes seem longer and she really didn’t want to wait, she wanted to see him, now. After last night, she realized she did like him, he was nice and funny when they were at the part and he was beautiful. He hadn't seemed a rock star at all while she was with him, just a regular guy. 7 minutes to 11 she saw a car pull up by the driveway and she assumed it was him but there didn’t follow a knock for a while. She looked over at the clock, 1 minute to go. Oh ain’t he funny. He was waiting to knock at exactly 11am.
Finally, she heard that knock she’d been waiting for at the door and immediately opened it, finding him standing there, looking at his watch. “11am,” He said as he looked up, “exact, this time.” He smiled his brilliant smile at her. She laughed when she saw him smile. “Are you ready this time?” He asked her.
Melody stepped outside and pulled the door closed behind her. “All ready.” She said with a big smile.
He walked her to the car and opened the door on the passenger’s seat for her, waited until she was sitting comfortably and closed the door again. He got in on the other side of the car and started driving. “Where do you want to go for lunch?” He asked her as he drove out of the street.
“You know what, I could go for some fast food, fries and a burger.” She said facing him.
He looked back at her and agreed with her idea. “Do you want to go to some fast food place, drive thru or a restaurant?” He asked as he placed his hand on her knee.
“Didn’t you plan to go to some movie? We could go to drive thru and then go for a movie.” She said, looking down at his hand on her knee and back up to his eyes with a smile. A happy feeling ran through her, that gesture must mean he liked her.
He liked her idea and agreed with it, driving to the nearest drive thru she pointed out for him. He ordered 2 burger combos and they ate while they drove to a movie theatre.
“What do you want to watch?” He asked when they arrived at the theatre. He looked over at the screens to see which ones were playing before going to the registers.
“Let’s just watch the one that starts soonest.” She said now also looking at the boards to check which one was playing first. She noticed it was a fantasy action movie, she could go for that.
“You sure you want to watch that one?” He asked her, to be sure she really wanted to watch an action movie, he didn't mind going to the newest chick flick or romantic comedy.

“You sure you want to watch that one?” He asked her, to be sure she really wanted to watch an action movie, he didn't mind going to the newest chick flick or romantic comedy.
“Yeah, of course.” She said, she didn’t expect much from an action movie but she could go for it today. She went to the register to buy tickets when he grabbed her arm. “I can’t let you pay for the movie.” He said and walked past her to buy the tickets.
“Yes, you can, you already bought me dinner and lunch, twice.” She tried to argue with him.
“No, can’t let you do it.”
“Then I’m buying snacks." she said consistent. Letting him pay for dinner, two lunches, a movie and snacks just didn’t seem right, she wanted to pitch in too.
He gave her a ticket and they went to the food section, where she was at the register faster than him to be sure she could pay. She ordered popcorn and drinks, letting him carry the drinks she so she could pick at the popcorn they'd share and went to the theatre room. Jon decided to sit all the way up in a corner. She didn’t argue and realized it would be the place he wouldn’t be noticed.
The room was busy but they still made their way up without anyone saying anything to them, after they sat down the movie started almost immediately.
“Just on time.” She said. He nodded and reached for the popcorn she was still holding.
She gave him the bag and the movie started. He held her hand, squeezing it when a scary part came up in case she got scared. Even though Melody wasn't scared at any scenes in the movie, she liked the little reassurance every time he squeezed her hand, it made her feel protected by him.

When the movie was over they waited until most of the people had left the room. The bag of popcorn was on the floor, their hands still together on the arm rest.
The room was almost empty, he let go of his hand and stood up. He grabbed her hand again when they walked down the dark stairs.
He looked over at his watch and it was only 4pm. “Do you want to do anything else?” He asked her while holding open the door to the exit.
“We can just go to my house, if you want to.” She said, she liked the idea of just watching some tv. He agreed and they drove back to her house.
Once again she made him sit on the couch while she made coffee.
“Aw, no mug with me on?” He asked when she handed him coffee.
“Sorry, next time.” She said and went to sit next to him.
Tyler was still on the other couch, to Jon it seemed like he hadn’t moved all week.
Jon and Melody talked until Jon thought of something, sitting up in the couch. “Aren’t your kids coming home today?” She looked over at the clock, 5pm.
“Around 8,” She said, “You can still stay here.” He relaxed back on the couch and pulled her closer to him. Tyler got up and left the room and went to the basement, where there was a rec room and a bed room. Melody and Jon were both surprised he left without saying a thing but didn't mention it.

A few minutes later he returned with the game of life. “Wanna play?” He asked when he walked in the room and put the game on the coffee table.
Jon looked up to Melody, asking.
“It’s up to you.” She said when she saw his look.
He turned back at Tyler and said, “Sure, let’s play.”
Tyler started setting up the game and gave everyone game money.
Ironically Jon got the rock star job with the lowest salary, halfway through the game he had 5 kids and lost his job and became a sales person. After an hour of playing he had lost the game, Melody came in second and Tyler had won.
Around 7pm he decided it was time to leave. She walked him to the door again and he kissed her. His lips felt softer on her this time as he gently pushed and waited for her to slid his tongue inside. His arms again wrapping around her waist as the palms of her hands rested on his chest. A hot warm kiss and he hugged her as he broke the contect.
She again waited for him to drive around the corner before going back inside.
“What’s that? Date 3?” Tyler asked her?
She thought for a second but she was pretty sure the weekend counted too. “Yeah it is.”
“Does that make him your boyfriend then?” He asked her curiously.
“No, it doesn’t.” He wasn’t, they’ve only been on 3 dates, and you don’t call someone your boyfriend after 3 dates. They’ve only really know each other since Tuesday, that’s only 6 days. So he was definitely not her boyfriend, yet.
Jon looked up to Melody, asking.

She joined Tyler on the couch and waited until the other kids got home a little while later. She made sure that the youngest was in her bed only half an hour after she got home. She gave Faith a hug and kiss and wished her good night. After that she went to Ryan’s room to make sure he was getting ready for bed and wished him good night too.
She went back downstairs joining her oldest sons, watching the tv show they always watched on Sunday night before telling them to go to bed on time and wished them a good night too. Then she went to her own bed. When she went to set her cell phone for an alarm in the morning she noticed a text message.
10.35pm: good night. She answered him wishing him a good night too. A few minutes later she got a new text.
10.38pm: Are you free this week? She wasn’t sure about that, she had the kids, she was open about her relationships but she would rather talk to them first about it. She couldn’t just go on a date on a weeknight, leave them alone and not talk about it, she couldn’t do it. She answered him, plainly saying she had the kids this week. Again a few minutes later she got an answer
10.40pm: I understand. Can I still phone you? Of course he could! She immediately texted her answer. 10.41pm: Good, I couldn’t wait a week to hear your voice. Good night. She wished him a good night again and went to bed.
