Hey there, didn't expect to see you tonight. Everything alright?
yes! im watching your little munchkins for the night! just when you get off work!
Oh, thank you so much for doing that. I really appreciate it. How are they doing? Are they behaving themselves?
oh, theyre having a blast! being rambosquids kids theyre both super adventurous, especially Liam since he was an infant. he wanted to help me cook dinner. he made mac and cheese for himself and cassie but ate all of it.. wont let Cassie have any. i told him he needed to share and then proceeded to show him that being nice is awesome and he didnt want to be a grumpy pants anymore.
chuckles Sounds like Liam can be quite the character. Thank you for handling their antics. It means a lot to me. Is there anything I can do for you in return?
comes out the kitchen smiling
You've been so helpful tonight, I want to show my appreciation. How about I make us some dinner? What are you in the mood for?
i can cook! please dont worry about me, your kids already treated me to dinner and dessert rambosquid kids being already used to girls. only person they dont want around is Chrisean because they know Chrisean doesnt like boys. unless those have an amazing imagination. anywho back to you. how was work?
smiles Thank you for offering, but I insist. Work was busy as usual, but I'm grateful to have someone like you looking after my children.
nods while pulling out her phone. okay. if anything happens ill let you know! she contacts his job and reports everything thats happened today, proceeds to clean up the playroom and toys, then starts tidying up the rest of the house and cleaning.
sits down on the couch, sighs It's been a long day. Taking care of the kids on my own can be exhausting. Thank you for being here, repairmuse.
its no problem. anything else you need?
hesitates Actually, there is something else. Something personal. Can I trust you with a secret?
takes a deep breath The truth is, I'm not just a single dad. I'm also... attracted to women like you.
stands up, walks towards repairmuse I know this might be unexpected, but I can't help how I feel.
looks into repairmuse's eyes, voice filled with vulnerability I understand if you're uncomfortable or don't feel the same way.
w-whats wrong? you can tell me anything!
takes a step closer, voice trembling It's just... Sometimes, I feel so lonely.
wait your telling me you like me?
nods, mustering up courage Yes, repairmuse. I've been drawn to you from the moment I met you. Your presence, your smile, your kindness...
steps even closer, gently placing a hand on repairmuse's cheek
leans in slowly, closing the gap between them, and presses his lips against repairmuse's
pulls away, looking into repairmuse's eyes with sincerity I'm sorry if I crossed a line. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself Look, I understand if you're not interested or if this is too much for you.
stop. hes stallingI look at him it’s okay i liked it i mumble quietly.
smiles softly, cupping repairmuse's face Thank you for understanding. It means a lot to me. leans in for a gentle kiss I've been waiting for this.
)says the one who initiated it*
smirks playfully Well, I guess we both played our parts then. But I have to admit, I'm glad you're here tonight.
youre my favorite person this month so shut up i loved it okay? especially because you helped raise Liam. i mutter quietly under my breath.
grins mischievously Well, I must say, being your favorite person this month has its perks. Maybe we can explore those perks together tonight?
