Chapter 5
As the sun broke through the clouds Sara woke up. She climbed out of bed and walked to the kitchen for some coffee, her new obsession. She sat at the breakfast nook looking out at the beautiful high rise buildings and mountains behind it. As Sara sat there admiring Denver her cell phone started to buzz on the counter. ‘Damn it. I forgot to call off work; they are probably calling to ask why I’m not there.’ She ran to the phone to see who it was, praying it wasn’t work. Sara smiled looking down at it, it was Blaze. “Sara?” Blaze said.
Blaze! I was hoping you would call! Sara said happily.
“Couldn’t wait to talk to you again. I...Uh...Was wondering if you wanted to hang out.” He replied.
“Well, as you know I have my daughter, and the babysitter is at school, so do you wanna come over?” Sara said jumping up and down like a little girl.
“Sure, same building I met you at right?” he replied, he seemed pretty happy.
“Yup, floor 17, apartment A. I am gonna give you a warning, I just woke up, and I don’t feel like getting dress and all dolled up, so I will look pretty bad.” Sara said with a giggle.
“See ya in a few then.” Blaze said.
Sara then hung up the phone and let out a happy sigh. Today was going to be a good day, she knew it.
Even though she knew she still loved Charlie with everything she had, she somewhat felt connected to Blaze. It seemed to be density that Sara and Blaze met. And Sara couldn’t help but smile.
“Mommy?” Crystal said as she yawned. She was standing in the doorway of her room with her hair standing up on ends and pajamas all messed up.
“Oh Crystal, what are we gonna do with you? Mommy has a friend coming over and I don’t want you to scare him off!” Sara said walking towards Crystal shaking her head jokingly.
“Mommy? Don’t I look pretty, like sleeping beauty?” Crystal replied, wrapping her hands around her mother.
“Of course you do darling.” Sara said laughing. She then carried Crystal into her room to get her dressed for the day, and to attempt to tame the beast beneath her hair.
After Sara got done getting Crystal dressed she turned on the Sunday morning cartoons and began to make her breakfast.
“Are you making me French toast, mommy? ‘Cause I love French toast!” Crystal asked.
“If that is what you want.” Sara sighed at the thought of cooking; she was hoping to get away with just making her some cereal.
Sara finished making French toast when the door bell rang. She jumped up from her seat and ran to open it.
“Hi.” She said opening the door, “Don’t pay any attention to the mess. I haven’t gotten around to cleaning yet today.” She continued.
“Its fine, my place is way worst, and I don’t even have a little adorable child running around.” He said automatically walking over to Crystal with a big smile on his face.
‘Awesome!’ Sara thought for a moment while watching Crystal talk up a storm to Blaze, ‘They already like each other, this may work out.’
“Mommy, I am gonna go play in my room. I miss my dollies.” Crystal said.
“I thought you didn’t like your dollies anymore.” Sara said with a smirk.
“Well...uh… I like them again!” Crystal said running to her room, embarrassed.
An hour had passed since Blaze has arrived and they have been non-stop laughing the whole time.
“I think I really like you, Sara…” Blaze said blushing.
“You think?” Sara said teasingly, “Well, I really like you too.”
‘Am I moving on way too fast? I did just lose Charlie last week, but Blaze does make me happy.’ Sara thought to herself, ‘if I really like him should I go for it?’
“Do you wanna watch the football game with me?” asked Sara.
“The Riders and the Titans?” Blaze asked with a smile.
“Yup. Please tell me you’re rooting for the Riders!” Sara said laughing.
“Well, I am a Titans fan, so I’ll make you a bet. If the Titans win I get another date…and a kiss.” He replied with a devious smirk.
“Deal, but if I win you have to clean my whole apartment, to my expectations.” She said plopping down on the couch.
“You’re on!” Blaze said lightly sitting down next to her.
Sara loved that she could be herself when she was around Blaze. She could act silly and crazy, he didn’t even mind.
The game soon came to an end, and the game was close. 32-30. The titans won.
“I suppose I should be heading home, but first I think you owe me something.” Blaze said extremely happy that he won the bet.
“I suppose I do.” Sara said walking closer to him. He pulled her tightly against his chest and kissed her with force. Sara’s knees began to weaken. Right before they gave out he released his lips and pulled away only inches from her face, with a grin.
Wow was Sara’s only comment. ‘That was intense, I felt something, I never have before. Maybe this was meant to be.’
“I’ll be seeing you soon?” Blaze questioned, still grinning.
“Tomorrow? Your place this time? I can leave Crystal with my brother, she misses them anyways.” Sara said giving him a quick hug.
“See ya.” He said dropping his hands from around her and walking out the door
