music, just like me. Tonight I plug my iPod into her pink pig dock and hit shuffle; my iPod has softer music and some poppy boy bands that she has learned to like. I sit with her for a few minutes stroking the hair back off her forehead. A songs starts and my body freezes and my mind whirls back to the very hot man asking me for a date this morning. Inside Noise plays through the dock.
She knows that I can’t move on
She is my everything but us
Isn’t in the beats right now
Snow will fall and I will claim my Snowflake
She won’t melt away from me, run away from me
Ryder’s face flashes in my head and I smile. Ryder Phoenix wants to take me on a date. As quickly as the thought pleases me, my baby girl stirs and my reality comes crashing back down. No man especially a very hot and sexy rock star is going to want to date a single mom.
I slowly close the door behind me as I leave Demi drifting further into her musical dream land and head back to the living room with Quinn. I see that she already has Netflix loaded with Sons of Anarchy ready to hit play. Can’t ever get enough of Jax or Opie and Juice I slump down next to my best friend on my red couch and pull the throw over our legs.
“Gotta love the sound of those bikes, dude. It helps that the riders are sexy as fuck. ‘Freaking yummo in fact.” She laughs but I spit my drink all over the front of me at the word ‘riders’ Fuck I need to get my head in gear.
“What the fuck Letts, ewwww that’s gross” I can’t help but laugh at her, she has no clue but I suppose I’m gonna have to tell her since she loves the band and she will be interning for this this summer, at Phoenix Records.
“Sorry chica. I had a strange day at work and was hit on by a very sexy drummer boy. You might know him.” I tell her, while setting my glass back onto the coffee table.
“Who? Tell me… Tell me now” she says, while a huge ass smile spreads across her face.
“Umm, Ryder Phoenix. We exchanged numbers at the Hot Pot and I have to text him when I have some free time. He wants to take me out for a drink he says. His brother was there as well, with a bunch of other super freaking hot people” I laugh.
“OH. MY. GOD. You have a date with Ryder, shut the fuck up. Ok, text him now.” She jumps up from the sofa and finds my purse and starts rummaging for my cell phone. I can’t help but laugh at her.
“Ha ha found it” She runs back to me and jumps on the sofa like Demi does when she is excited about something. She is on her knees next to me bouncing around like Tigger. She drops the phone into my lap and starts clapping.
“Dude, I only met him today.” I nod my head “Ok, I only spoke to him today. We can’t count the NY party because that was just a quick kiss and a see ya. I might wait a day or two. Don’t want to seem desperate, you know?” I shrug.
“Bullshit Letts, do you know how many women want that man? Hell they want all of them but Rafe is taken by Lucy. That doesn’t stop the girls from flirting with him, but Lucy puts them in their place and kicks some ass. I think going out on a date with any guy would be good because you haven’t been out in a good long while, but going on a date with Ryder freaking Phoenix…Wow girl, I bet he could show you one hell of a time.”
I understand what she is saying but I have to think of Demi, she is my number one priority at the moment. I can’t bring men into her life if they aren’t going to stay; that isn’t fair to her.
“I will text Ryder tomorrow if I have time, ok?” She smiles at me and we settle in to watch some sexy Jax and Opie. After a few episodes Quinn drives back to her apartment and I do a quick clean up around my apartment. It isn’t messy, just little things out of place. ‘Lived in’ is what Mrs. Dawson says.
I walk to my bedroom and grab my laptop. On my way back to the living room, I check on Demi. She is sound asleep, curled up into a little Angel ball. I turn the
