A Second Chance at Love

The boys ran in as she followed me into the house. I walked into the kitchen and sat down, " I met someone Syl." I looked at her for a reaction, none came.

"I'm thinking we may start seeing each other and I wanted you to know in case it came up with the boys."

She put her cup down and stood up. "I don't want any of your whores around my children, got it?" She spit back at me.

"No, I don't got it." I slammed my hand down on the table. "You lost any and all rights to tell me what to do when you asked for the divorce. I'm not asking your permission, nor will I tolerate you carrying on about this. I know what is best for me. I'm moving on Syl. We have been divorced long enough now. I finally met someone I'm interested in and I'm not gonna let you mess it up." She shook her head and left without a response. Round 1 was over.

I cleaned the cups and walked upstairs. Cameron was already asleep, his hair still wet from the shower. I covered him and walked towards Carson's room. "Hey dad" he commented barely looking away from the tv.

"Come on buddy, you have school tomorrow.. Get some sleep."" I turned it off and ran into Caelan walking towards his room.

My oldest was also my easiest. "How was your weekend dad?" he asked.

"Good son, I got to hang out with a lot of the guys." I smiled at him.

"Where's Uncle Roo at?" he questioned. "Not sure, probably had a date. I haven't seen him since we played earlier."

"Oh, so you had a date huh dad? I seen her. She's pretty. Mom was kinda mad." he looked up at me for a response.

"Yea, I guess I did. I just met her a few days ago. Her name is Raina, she has a little boy. They live across the street. Mom will be ok buddy, she was just surprised."

"I know dad, you know you should bring her flowers, girls like that kind of stuff, Roo told me. " He said with a big grin.

"OK buddy, get some sleep, I love you". I had to laugh. I thought I should probably ask Claude why he was giving my son dating advice. At least he asked him and not Carter.

I jumped in the shower and threw on shorts and walked towards my room. Grabbing my cell I dialed her number. It rang three times and I hung up. She called back within five minutes. "Sorry, was putting Ryan to bed. He was so pumped up after staying with my sister."

"Its ok, what are you doing- you up for some company? I just heard Claude pull in the driveway.
"The boys are in bed, I'm bored."

She just laughed, "I'll unlock the door." I ran downstairs. Claude and some girl were in the living room. They were looking through the Netflix. "Yo, the boys are in bed. I'm going across the street, you are staying in for awhile right?" I asked.

He smirked at me. "Just don't get too worn out, rough practice tomorrow for sure, eh".

I had to laugh when she answered the door. She looked like a little kid. She had her hair thrown up in pigtails and had this huge phillies t-shirt on. You could barely see the shorts under it. The game was on and she ran over and jumped back onto the couch. "Tie game 9th inning, major stuff here. My boy Chooch is up though." I had to smile. Not many women watch sports like she did.

Her face was so serious as the ball was hit into the outfield, she bounced up and down as Ibanez slid home and ended the game. I pulled her towards me and kissed her. "Well Mr. Briere, to what do I owe that pleasure?" she asked with a small smile.

"Well, you know I start the craziness of camp tomorrow morning and um. Im going to be sore and tired and cranky...." She put her fingers to my lips to quiet me and stood up.

She grabbed my hand and walked me down into her basement. It was set up as a game room. It had a bar and all. I was impressed. I picked her up and sat her on the pool table. It wasn't long before she was moaning my name as I came inside of her. We cleaned up in the bathroom and laid on the couch for awhile quietly. She feel asleep pretty quickly. I picked her up and carried her upstairs. I laid her in her bed, kissed her forehead and walked back home.

I wasn't sure where all this was leading, but I knew I was falling in love with her. I just hoped she could deal with the craziness of the season. I also knew we needed to talk more. The sex was great but there had to be more to a relationship. So many thoughts were running through my head. These next two weeks were gonna be crazy, but I knew it would give me time to focus on getting to know her better.
