“Dylan honey. Lunch served”

“Coming grandma” my son shouts for his bedroom. I and my mother wait at the kitchen table. Thank God I have her. I will be lost without her. When Mandy left us my mother moved here to Chicago with us to help me with Dylan.

“Well, Natalie is cute,” says my mother with a smirk. Here we go.

“Yeah, I guess “

“You guess. Are you blind? The girl is gorgeous” only gorgeous. With that sexy little smile and that body. I don’t have type in women but that juicy body I still can’t take out of my head.

“Yes Mom she is a great and kind girl” She looks at me. I can't hide anything from her. Dylan came down and of course, he talked about Natalie. He likes her and that is a relief. If I only was younger. She is a college student and I’m a thirty-year-old father. I’m sure she will want to live her life. And I only thing I offer is a kid and a boring life. We eat and Dylan goes to his room. I help my mother to wash the dishes and she goes to rest in her room. I arranged the bills that I had to pay and I went to my room. I take a shower and I lay in my bed. I close my eyes and Natalie's smiling face comes into my head. I had years to feel so fascinated with a woman. I managed to sleep for a while until Dylan came to my room.

“Dad wake up.”

“What was it, buddy?”

“I finished homework can we go buy some things I want for my painting”

“Sure, Dylan. Give me some minutes to get ready”

“I’ll wait downstairs with grandma” he left and I changed into dark jeans and a royal blue T-shirt. I go downstairs and Dylan is waiting the with his jacket, ready to go. God, he is so excited when it comes to his painting. I wear my jacket and go outside to my car. We go to the mall to buy some other stuff. We are in a shop for artist's stuff and Dylan chooses what he will take.

“These paintbrushes are better Dylan” we hear a voice behind us. We both turn around and I see Natalie with black pants wine red blouse and a blue parka. Her perfect strawberry blonde hair is down on her shoulder. She is simply amazing.

“Natalie, hi,” Dylan says and he hugs her.

“You should choose from there, is better”

“Thanks. What are you doing here?”

“Whatever you do. Buying stuff for the school” She smiles at me and helps Dylan to choose his staff. She picks it for her and we go to the cash desk. I pay for Dylan and her. After a lot of begging for Dylan, she accepted. Dylan makes her come also for dinner with us. I like that they are so close already.

“Dad I’m going to the bathroom”

“Do you want me to come with you?” I ask him

“No Dad, I’m ten I think I can go alone,” Dylan says and he stands up. Natalie and I share a smile.

“So art school. You liked arts like Dylan from a young age?”

“Yeah, I guess since I remember myself. I always had with me a sketchbook. From people to places and objects I commented on them, and I painted them. I love it, that’s why I choose to study at Art Academy. It’s my passion.” She says and shined her face when she talks about art.

“You? You have some talent or you always want to be a fireman?” She asks

“I was in college for business economics but then I had Dylan alone. I had bills to pay and it was a great job. The years pass and I end up loving being a fireman. I’m ten years fireman and I have saved many people, the rewards are priceless”

“It’s great to work in something that you like,” she says and I agree with her. Dylan came back, I paid and we left. Dylan and I accompanied Natalie to her car

“Thanks again for paying for everything”

“It’s the least I can do. You offer to watch Dylan without money so dinner and a few things it’s nothing” We look at each other for a while until I hear Dylan.

“I will see you tomorrow Natalie?”

“Yes, Dylan. I will pick you up for school. Eva, she’ll stay at school with all the teachers tomorrow for a meeting”

“Cool. I will show you all my paintings and drawings”

“Great. See you tomorrow” She kisses him on the cheek and hugs him. Then she gives a smile to me. What I will give to feel her lips on my cheek or my lips. Thick full perfect lips. She looks at me with blue eyes says goodnight and she enters her car. Me and Dylan going home. I prepared him for sleep and then I went to my room.

My mother sleeps early so I didn’t bother her. Once again Natalie is in my head. What’s wrong with me? All these years I only focused on Dylan. I did interesting for any woman. I go out for dates but not many of their stay. Natalie, I know her hours and she is under my skin. Dylan and my mother love her. And my mother is a very difficult person. You have to try hard to earn her trust. She looked at Natalie one time and she got in her heart. The same happened to me. Only one look, one smile droned her, and boom, I felt alive again. Did she feel the same? I ready hope so.
