ball rolling, then I made a quick call to Kelly.
     
    “Please, don’t tell me you’re in trouble because I don’t have time to kill you today, but I will if I have to,” Kelly answered the phone with a well-placed warning.
     
    I laughed. “No, of course not. I told you, I’d stay out of trouble. I’m calling with good news.”
     
    “Uh-oh, what are you up to now?” Kelly asked.
     
    I boasted about my huge achievement, convinced my plan was foolproof. “What do you think?” I asked.
     
    “You are such a jerk!” she scolded me. “I didn’t tell you to lie to some innocent woman! All I said was, you needed to settle down, not b.s. your way to full custody. I can’t believe this. You have to break this off. Cancel the date.”
     
    Well, that didn’t go as well as I’d expected it would, but I didn’t let Kelly’s heated reaction dissuade me. I was confident my plan could work. Hillary was a teacher. It was her job to do what was right for her students. Surely she’d see that by helping me keep Edge, she would ultimately be doing the best thing she could for him. I mean, it’s not like I wasn’t a good catch. Women would kill to be my girl. Eventually, she’d see that and want to do her part. Hell, I’d even spoil her with some nice stuff just to sweeten the pot. All I needed was for her to go along with it until this court case finally fizzled out. How difficult would that be?
     
    I sat back in my seat, glad my fake date or unsuspecting wife-to-be was drop-dead gorgeous. I don’t know what I would have done if she wasn’t so hot. I suppose, I wouldn’t have ceased on her as my suitable companion. Those curves and pouty lips were enough to make me wish she was mine, so it wasn’t too much of a stretch for me to pretend like she was someone I wanted. If she played her cards right, she might end up with all the benefits many satisfied women before her had received and none of the long-term commitment.
     
    “I can’t sleep, Daddy. Can I stay in here with you?” Edge walked into my room, rubbing his big blue eyes. They reminded me so much of his mother’s eyes, minus the dark circles she usually sported under hers.
     
    “Sure thing, little man. Come here. You can hang out with me for a little while.” I looked at the time. It wasn’t quite eight o’clock yet, so I figured I’d allow him a few minutes to hang out with me. “Hey, you can help me decide where to take Ms. Jackson for dinner.”
     
    “We’re going to take my teacher out for dinner? Daddy, are you crazy? I can’t eat in public with my teacher!” Edge protested.
     
    “Why not? Don’t you think she’s pretty?” I asked, remembering how pretty she was.
     
    “Girls are dumb,” Edge said.
     
    It was time to man up and set him straight. “No, they’re not. I bet Ms. Jackson is pretty smart. That’s probably how she knows you are dealing with some stuff right now. She cares about you.”
     
    Edge considered my words for a moment. “Does she care about you?”
     
    I kissed the top of his head. “Not yet, big guy, but she will. She will soon enough. So, where should I take her?”
     
    “Bring her here. You can make pizza and French fries for her. I heard she likes those things,” Edge said, trying to be as slick as I thought I was.
     
    I rubbed his head. “So, your teacher likes the same food you like? Interesting. I’ll keep that in mind.” I thought he might have been onto something. Maybe, the way to Hillary’s heart was to use an approach I’d never used with any other women before her.
     

Chapter Five – Hillary
     
     
     
     
    “If   you don’t get up off my bed, I’m going to--” Felicia started.
     
    Interrupting her, I whined, “Girl, what am I going to do? Do you know how wrong this is? I can’t date a student’s parent. That’s not right. The school board will be all over me. Now, the media has pictures of me at his house. What was I thinking?”
     
    Felicia assessed her new do in
