For you Melinda
Melinda had the worst work of her life. Her boyfriend Paul, left town, and said he found someone else, he has become close too. She wanted this promotion, at the Ad agency she worked for. She worked long hours, and really put her heart into the job. She went to work and found out the job was handed over to Kira she was the boss's little pet. Melinda knew exactly, why she got the job over her? She was fed up with all the heartache, and pain she had in her life. She planned to treat herself to a movie and dinner. She left the office, and went to the parking garage, and got in her car. She drove to the movie theater, and parked her car. She went up looking at her choices, she smiled, she picked "Nine to Five, with Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin". She went to the snack bar, and ordered a large popcorn, a diet pepsi, and M&M's, she walked into the theater. She walked to the back seats , she looked around it was quite empty in the theater. She put her popcorn, in her lap, and the pop in the seat holder. She was flipping through one of the free magazines, they hand out.
A young man walked over to Melinda, Hello is this seat empty"?, he pointed to the seat beside her.
Melinda looked up, she was speechless, the most handsomest man she ever saw was standing in front of her. He sat down, and whispered, " I noticed you when you walked through the door. I waited until you picked your movie, than I made the same choice as you"
" You probably would have enjoyed the Mel Gibson film better"
" I was actually hoping you were going to pick him, but you like comedies better"?
" Yes I love them, and I hear this movie is funny"
The movie started, Melinda couldn't concentrate , on the film. She had the hottest guy sitting beside her. She watched him put the popcorn to his mouth. He was so sexy, even when he ate. She laughed, she didn't even know his name. She leaned over, " What is your name"?
" Phillip, what is yours"?
"Melinda".
They continued watching the movie, and she was so surprised, when he reached over touching her hand. She looked at him, as he smiled, moving closer. She touched his hand with her other hand, and he smiled. They both were not watching the movie, they stared at each other, as he brought his lips to hers. She shut her eyes, she never experienced a kiss like that. She couldn't believe what she was doing, she jumped up, running out of the theater. She got outside, and started walking to her car. Phillip ran out of the threatre.
" Melinda please wait up", she stopped but she wouldn't look at him, in the eyes.
" Why did you run like that, I'm sorry if I upset you"?
"I don't know what happened in there, but it was both of us that felt it"
" Oh are you saying you enjoyed that kiss Melinda"?
" You know I did, but that was wrong, we just met"
"There is something, about you Melinda, that makes me want to get to know you"
Melinda has tears in her eyes, " Phillip, I have been hurt so many times, I can't take anymore heartache"
"Melinda, I can't promise you , that you will never experience heartache, but I can promise you , it won't be from me"
"Are you for real Phillip", Melinda smiled,
Phillip touched her chin, I'm for real, please don't run away from me."
To be continued.

Chapter 2
Phillip smiled, " Would you like to get a dessert and a coffee Melinda"?
"Sure I would like that".
" There is a lovely little diner over there , they have the best pies, and cakes". They walked over, and he opened the door, and went inside. They sat in a booth, and they both looked at the menu. The waiter walked over, " what can I get you both today"?
" A coffee, with just cream, and a chocolate brownie cheesecake", Melinda said.
Phillip laughed, " you know what, I'm going to have the same". The waiter said he would bring it over right away.
"Phillip, I can't believe your not married or taken"?
" I have been married, that is a long story, but at the moment, I am taken".
" Really, what are you doing here with me"?
" I'm quite taken with you Melinda"
" You didn't just say that Phillip"? she giggled
" I know , I'm quite the romantic, but it is the truth".
They both sat for a couple of hours talking and getting to know each other. Phillip walked her to her car, and he kissed her goodnight. She touched his face, thanking him for a wonderful evening . She got in her car but they both exchanged numbers. She drove off but her heart didn't want to leave him, but she smiled after looking in the rear view mirror. She saw him staring back at her , watching her drive away . She saw him cross the street still looking but she screamed as he walked right in front of a car. She stopped her car jumping out running back to Phillip. He was awake but in so much pain, she touched his face, " OMG Phillip, stay still". She screamed at the man who said he already called for help. He walked over, " he walked out in front of me, I couldn't stop". She knew he was telling the truth but she scream at the poor man anyways. Phillip put his hand up, and Melinda held his hand. He whispered " don't leave me Melinda, I'm so scared".
She heard the ambulance coming, she couldn't stop crying. She whispered, " don't leave me Phillip, you promised me that date"
He smiled, " I did didn't I, this isn't much fun".
"No , this is not fun, I feel so responsible Phillip, you weren't paying attention".
" I know I watched you drive away, and it hurt." He smiled," I had to get you back somehow right"
" OH Phillip here is the ambulance". They run over to Phillip, and ask Melinda to move aside. She did but was shaking she finally found someone she can relate to and this happens. She watched as they put him in the ambulance , and they tell her they are going to Springfield Memorial". She ran to her car, and drove behind the ambulance. She got to the hospital, and parked and ran to the Emergency room. She was told to wait in the waiting room. She did and she couldn't stop shaking. She jumped up when a doctor walked out, " hi are you here for Phillip Spaulding"?
"Yes, is he ok"?
" You know he is one lucky man, he has no broken bones, just massive bruises, and he is sore all over. We did all the tests needed we want him to stay overnight. He can go home in the morning, you both should be thanking GOD , for this miracle".
" Oh I will be thanking him, but can I see Phillip please"?
" He has been asking for you, plus his family is on the way. Come with me, I will take you to him". She followed the doctor to his room, and she walked in. Phillip was laying on his back, he smiled, when he saw Melinda.
" You are so lucky Phillip, I thought for sure you would have massive broken bones"
" I feel like I do, but I think I need some tender loving care when I get out of here"
'Phillip, I will help you , but there is something , I never told you"
" What Melinda, your not married"?
" I was , I'm divorced, but I have a little girl she is 2 years old . Her name is Madison, and I will understand if you really don't want to see me anymore".
" Why because of a baby, I love kids, and I'm sure if she is anything like her Mom, we will get along great together".
" She is adorable, you would fall in love with her"
Phillip touched Melinda's face, " don't ever keep something so important away from me. I plan to get to know everything about you and your daughter. So are you going to take care of me when I get out of here"?
" Sure, I would love too," , Melinda smiled, she kissed Phillip and they just sat there holding hands, until his family came.

Chapter 3
Melinda arrived at the hospital to pick up Phillip like she said she would. She walked into his hospital room with Madison, in her arms. He smiled, " OMG she is adorable just like her Mother".
"Thank you , her babysitter is sick, sorry I had to bring her".
"That is ok, she is 2 years old"?
"Yes, but quite the handful", she kissed Madison on the cheek.
"Madison meet Phillip the man I have been talking about. Phillip meet Madison, she loves her stuffed bunny, that she won't let go of. Madison can you say hi to Phillip"?
Madison gave him the cutest smile, and said hi. She showed him the bunny, and said, " Boo".
" Boo"?
" That is the bunnies name, she loves Peek a boo, so does Boo" Melinda laughs
Phillip puts his hands to his face, " Peek", and than yells," A boo"
Madison lets out the loudest laugh, making Phillip burst out in laughter. " OMG she is so cute, and she is so happy".
" Well try to get her to eat her veggies, and you see the wild child come out".
Madison makes a face and Melinda laughs, " Yeah you, veggies are good for you".
"No," Madison yells.
Phillip laughs, " Oh I don't like my veggie all that much either Melinda".
" Oh great, that would be great, her seeing you being a big baby".
" Lets get out of here, and we can take her for ice cream".
" At 9 am in the morning Phillip, No".
" Oh well you can come to my place, and we can see what she can have".
" Did the Doctor sign you out yet"?
"Yeah the papers are right here"
Phillip got out of bed, and smiled, " I have to go in the wheelchair".
" Here hold her in your lap, and I will get us out to the car. She handed Madison to Phillip, she sat staring at him. He touched her cheek, "do you know you are the cutest thing".
She shook her head yes, and Phillip smiled, " Oh she is conceited like her Ma Ma"?
" Oh don't go there Phillip, I'm not conceited".
" Just kidding, lets go, I hate this hospital". Melinda wheeled him, down the hall, and outside. She wheeled him to her car, she took Madison, and put her in the car seat, and helped Phillip into the passenger seat. She walked over getting into the drivers seat, and started off to Phillips place. She got there, and Madison had fallen asleep in the seat. She got her out holding her in her arms, as she opened the door for Phillip. He could walk slow, so they walked up to the house. He opened the door, and walked inside, inviting her in . She smiled, " OMG this is a mansion not a house".
" It is big , but cozy".
"They walked into the living room, she sat down holding Madison. Phillip sat beside her, and looked over at Madison. "She looks so comfortable, and she looks so amazing in your arms".
"I'm glad she is my life, I never would have survived without her this past year".
" Her Father just left her Melinda"?
"Yeah he didn't want kids, he left recently but he wasn't happy for along time".
"I'm sorry Melinda you don't deserve that".
" I'm more sorry for her, she loved him".
" What a fool, I would never leave either one of you".
" Phillip you should rest really, I can make lunch for you later".
" I have a crib upstairs for her"?
" Really"?
" It was my Daughters but she outgrown it years ago".
" I will put her down, and help you to bed". Phillip got up, she walked out of the room, and all Phillip could do was stare. He didn't know why but he knew he was falling for Melinda, and her little Angel. He smiled, thinking maybe life was going to work out great for a change.
Melinda smiled, " Are you coming Phillip"?
" Oh sorry, coming, " , he walked over , and they went upstairs together.

Chapter 4
Phillip showed Melinda, the room with the crib for Madison. She laid her down, and she smiled, " she really is such a good girl".
Phillip smiled, "She is so pretty Melinda, but so is her Mom".
" Phillip your so kind, but we better get you settled too". She walked out of the room, and they walked to Phillips room. She smiled, "wow this room, is amazing".
" Really manly isn't it"?
" Yeah, you sure love to read, and watch movies don't you"?
" Well it gets me through the lonely nights Melinda". She walked over looking at his books, and Movie Selection. You like comedies, and the old films , I see".
" Yeah, how about you"?
" I love variety, but romance, comedy, and a good suspense will do me fine. I also watch a lot of Disney , Madison, just can't get enough of them movies'
" I have Disney movies, maybe later the three of us can watch one."?
Melinda looked at his selection of Disney films, she pulled out one, Bambi, "Oh I love this one, so does Madison".
"Bambi it is but I always cry , at the that one screen in the movie".
Melinda smiled, " Me too, oh we are a match made in heaven".
Phillip smiled, and Melinda blushed, " OMG , I shouldn't say things like that".
" Hey that was a sweet statement, I feel the same way. Can you help me get this shirt off, my arm, is really sore"? Melinda walked over unbuttoning his shirt. Phillip smiled, and Melinda laughed, " what Phillip"?
"I have been dreaming of you taking off my clothes, but it was in a more fun scenario".
" You are naughty Phillip, but I have daydreamed about you too".
"Really tell me about it"?
" Well mine is G Rated, mine involves a kiss".
Phillip pulled Melinda into his lap, touching her chin. " Like this", as he brought his lips to hers, and they kiss passionately.
" Oh Phillip, that was so much better in person". They both giggle, and she continued helping him undress. She helped him in bed, and he whispered, " stay and talk to me for awhile please".
Melinda sat beside Phillip, " It is so nice being here , with you , and Madison right next door".
"Melinda do you feel what I feel"?
" What do you feel Phillip"?
" I have been so lonely, and I want to have someone in my life. I really think, us meeting that night was fate. Will you and Madison, say for a few days, so we can really get to know each other"?
" You really want that, Phillip"?
"More that anything Melinda".
"Than I would like to get to know you , and my daughter would to I'm sure".
Phillip touched her hand, and they sat talking and laughing. She loved being with a man again, and Phillip was different, than the other men in her life. She wanted a better life for her, and Madison, and something told her Phillip Spaulding was the man for her. She wanted to take it slow , but something told her, she would be in Phillips arms, real soon. She felt the chemistry, from the first moment, they met. She smiled, he touched her face, " something wrong Melinda"?
" No, I was just thinking how perfect you are Phillip"
" Oh I'm not perfect, but I adore you for saying that".
They both smile, she laid her head on his chest, and they both just laid there holding each other.

Chapter 5
Phillip and Melinda fell asleep, and were awoken hearing Madison crying. Melinda jumped up running to her, and walked over picking her up. Madison stopped crying as soon as she saw her Mom. Melinda hugged her, "Oh Sweetie did you get scared waking up in a strange place? You will have to get use to this place, if we are going to get to know Phillip better. I hope you like Phillip, because what you like is so important baby".
Melinda walked over , and put Madison down changing her diaper. She smiled, "do you feel better now Sweetie"? She walked over sitting her on the rug, while she ran in washing her hands. She lifted Madison, taking her to see Phillip.
Melinda walked into Phillips room, " Hey Phillip look who is awake".
"Hey Sweetie, I bet your hungry".
" Yeah she probably is, it is supper time for her. I guess I better go down, and see what you have for her? What would you like me to make for you"?
" Whatever you both are having, is fine with me".
Melinda turned and laughed, " Phillip stay in bed, you are sore, I will make dinner".
" No, I'm coming down, me and Madison can watch TV, while you cook dinner".
" Ok that would be a big help, but she will want to watch Elmo he is her favorite".
"Elmo really, I like him to Madison
"Elmo Mommy", Madison smiled, and clapped her hands. Phillip and Melinda laughed. They walked downstairs, Phillip sat on the couch with Madison, and Melinda put the channel on that Elmo was on. Madison screamed, " Elmo, Elmo".
Phillip smiled, " OMG she is so excited, she is precious Melinda".
"Yes she is are you sure you can handle her, while I go get dinner ready"?
" Yes, go, I'm fine " Melinda walked into the kitchen. She looked around, and decided to do spaghetti, and salad. She was boiling the water for the pasta, she laughed grabbing a can of spaghetti sauce. I'm sorry Phillip, I'm not doing this from scratch tonight, but this stuff is good. She got the salad stuff out, and was making a salad. She was setting the table, and realized Madison, didn't have her special seat. She would have to sit on Melinda's lap. She put the salad on the table, and ran over draining the pasta. She put it on the plates, and poured the sauce, on the spaghetti. She walked out, "dinner is ready".
"She walked over picking up Madison, and carried her into the kitchen. Melinda pointed , "Sit where you normally sit Phillip, Madison has to sit on my lap".
"Oh that isn't comfortable".
" I know but I have to have her special seat." Phillip jumped up , going into the hall closet, pulling out a high chair. He walked into the kitchen," I have this, she can use it".
Phillip ran over grabbing Lysol wipes, cleaning the seat off. Melinda put Madison, into the seat, and she liked it. Melinda cut up her spaghetti, and salad, and put it in front of Madison. Phillip sat down, " this looks good Melinda thanks".
" It isn't much, but it is short notice".
" No this is great, I would have had Twinkies or something".
"You are kidding right"?
" No, I can't be bothered cooking for myself".
"That is sad, you have to take care of yourself Phillip".
"That is why it is nice having you here Melinda".
They all sat down eating , they both laughed at Madison, she was making a mess. Phillip loved having them both here, it was like having a family back that he so desperately wanted .
Melinda got up, cleaning up Madison, and putting the dishes, into the dishwasher. Melinda smiled, " who wants ice cream"?
" Me Mommy " Madison eyes lite up".
Melinda smiled, " I knew you would but what about you Phillip"?
" Me too Melinda".
" Stop Phillip", she laughed, grabbing 3 bowls, and dished out the chocolate ice cream. She handed Madison, and Phillip both a bowl, and she put it away. She walked back she couldn't stop laughing, Madison was copying every move Phillip was doing. He noticed so he was doing some crazy moves . He put the ice cream to his mouth, and didn't eat any but put it back down. Madison frowned, she was copying but she wondered why he didn't actually eat the ice cream?Melinda sat down, "eat both of you, stop playing with your food".
Phillip put his ice cream in his mouth, and so did Madison. She giggled, " yum Mommy"
Phillip smiled at Melinda, he winked, and they all finished their ice cream.
