Chapter 5
Melinda grabbed the cigarette back, "Woody what are you doing"?
"You are starting up because of them, that is crazy"
"You saw what they did in there, Sam was something putting me on the spot. I might not have a job tomorrow, but I had to put them in their place"
"Sam is upset he is in his office, he wants to see you when break is over"
"Great I guess I'm not going to make it through one shift"
"He probably won't fire you, but I'm sure he is going to ask you how you feel about Frasier"
"What is going on Woody, I just met them, and they are acting like two school boys fighting over a girl"
"Yeah I never seen Sam so upset, he didn't like how you walked away like that. Sam is a wonderful guy but he has problems with women sometimes, but if you hooked up with Frasier that would upset him"
"Oh man what should I do just leave"
"No Carla would lose it if you left without finishing your shift. Go in talk to Sam, and if you get fired, I'm leaving with you"
"Woody that is way to sweet, but I wouldn't expect that Sweetie"
"I'm sweet but I am a macho guy too"
"Ok your point Woody"?
"I'm just saying you are special, I could see it the first moment I met you. I think you are amazing raising a son all on your own. I love the way you stood up for yourself, I personally think you deserve someone amazing, someone like me". Melinda stood in shock she couldn't believe it, now she had three men giving her attention. She has been alone for so many years, and now she is getting more attention than she wants.
"Woody you are sweet but this is weird you don't know me"
"I get it I'm not attractive, or you don't think I'm sexy just say it". He walked away, and went inside, Melinda was so angry she threw her cigarette on the ground. She stood for a moment, than went inside to face Sam, she had to be brave, she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of begging for this job, even though she needed it.

Hey Melinda let me know if this is to wild for you.. ;D
Chapter 6
Melinda walked into the bar, and saw Frasier at the table looking at her. She saw Woody behind the bar, he actually looked at her too, but she saw he was hurt, which made her upset. Carla walked over grabbing her hand.
"Girl what are you doing"?
"Doing what are talking about"?
"Sam is mad, Woody is sulking, and Frasier is upset. You have three guys drooling over you, how did you manage that"?
"I didn't do anything wrong I have to go see Sam"
"Be nice don't get yourself fired because if you do, I will hate you forever"
"What"?
"I need some help around here so don't get fired Melinda be nice to Sam". Melinda walked to the back, and knocked on Sam's office door.
"Come in"
Melinda walked in, Sam pointed to the empty seat, and Melinda walked over siting down.
"Melinda what was that out there"?
"You tell me Sam, I was doing my job, and I was being friendly to Frasier. We were having a coffee, you came over, and asked a stupid question"
"What was stupid about it"?
"You asked me who I like better, I personally don't know either of you"
"What is with you, and Woody"?
"Me and Woody he is sweet, and I think he is my friend"
"He is falling for you too, what kind of spell do you have over us all"?
"Oh I'm a witch now, I'm sorry Sam I'm not taking this. I need this job for me, and my child, but I'm not going to admit that I did something wrong , when I didn't"
"I know that so sit down Melinda, I don't want you leaving this Bar."
"Can we just let this go, and pretend it didn't happen"?
"No I already had it out with Frasier, he is going to ask you out on a date"
"Oh God I didn't know that but I will say no if you want me to"
"Would you want to go on a date with Frasier"?
"I don't know maybe"
"What about me"?
"Sam you are freaking me out"
"Ok you go on a date with Frasier, than me, and see what happens next"
"I don't date multiply men"
"Well that is a problem because Woody heard us, and he wants a date too. You just go out see what we are like, than you tell Frasier and Woody it is me you like"
Melinda put her hand to her mouth she couldn't stop laughing.
"You are laughing that was funny"?
"Yes this is wild right out of a comedy show for God sake. What if I like Woody or Frasier better am I suppose to lie"?
"Look at me girl really"
"You are handsome but looks are not everything. Frasier and Woody are cute too so don't go by looks"
"Will you go on a date with each of us, than see what happens"?
"I might be crazy but I think it might be fun. My Mom might want to commit me, but I will do it"
Sam smiled, "I'm last you choose which one is first"
"Ok Sam but I better get back to work before Carla comes in her, and fires me herself"
"Go back to work, but Melinda if you choose Woody or Frasier, your job is safe I promise you that"
"Thanks Sam". She walked out she stood in the hallway, but smiled as she walked into the bar. Carla ran over, "Everything ok"?
"Yeah but I'm going on a date with Woody, Frasier than Sam"
"You are"?
"Yeah Sam requested it, and I think it might be fun"
"Girl I can't find one decent man, you get three in one night, that is so insane"
Melinda smiled, "Who should I pick my first date with Frasier or Woody"?
Carla looked at both men, and smiled, 'Awe pick Woody, look how sad he looks". Melinda smiled, "Ok thanks Carla".
Melinda walked over to Woody, "Hi Woody"
"Hi Melinda"
"You heard that scheme that Frasier, and Sam thought up about me going on dates with them"
"Yeah"
"I'm going to do it, but I would be honored if you were the first one to take me out". Woody dropped his beer glass, and almost jumped over the bar. "Oh Miss Melinda, it will be the best date I promise"
"I'm sure it will be". Woody smiled as Melinda turned to Frasier, and went over to explain he would be her second date.

Chapter 7
Melinda was finishing her shift, when Frasier walked over.
"Melinda do you need a drive home"?
"No I have my car"
Woody yelled out, "Yes, and I'm walking her to the car, we have some stuff to discuss"
"Fine Melinda here is my card, can I have your number"? Frasier asked, Melinda walked over writing her number down, and handed it to Frasier.
"We will talk, I have to make arrangements for our date. I will need the dates you are free"
"I'm having the first date Frasier me". Woody said
Melinda smiled, "Woody stop let me talk to Frasier"
"Sorry Ms. Melinda"
"Melinda Woody forget the Ms"
"Sorry"
"Don't be but can I have a word with Frasier please"
"Sure"
Frasier smiled, 'Your date with him will be fun I'm sure"
"I'm sure it will be, don't be cruel Frasier Woody is cute"
"Yeah and a bit annoying but I would miss him around here"
"Frasier I will ask Sam for my dates off, call me tomorrow ok"
Frasier touched her chin, "May I kiss you goodbye or will Woody jump over the counter, and beat me"?
"You may kiss me Frasier". He leaned over, and kissed her making Carla, and Woody stare. Frasier smiled as he walked out of the bar with a huge smile on his face.
Carla laughed, "Girl you are lucky Sam didn't see that"
"Carla I'm going to speak to Sam, it was nice working with you tonight"
"Yeah it was cool but I think you got more tips, and 3 men, is that fair"?
"Carla"
"Go see Sam". Melinda walked to the back, and went into Sam's office, and smiled.
"My shift is over Sam, I will see you tomorrow. I do need a schedule, I have to know what dates I can tell Woody, and Frasier that I have off"
"Cool this week you can have Friday to go on your date with Woody, and Sunday for Frasier"
"Cool but what about you Sam, no date for you"
"Well I get next Friday, and every date after that". Melinda smiled, "You are something Sam , see you tomorrow"
"I will walk you to your car"
"No Woody is, thanks anyways". Sam waved as Melinda left grabbing her stuff, and went out to Woody.
"I'm ready Woody"
"Ok" Woody walked around the bar, Carla watch the place for a minute please"
"Sure Romeo"
"Stop it Carla". Woody walked up the stairs, and opened the door for Melinda. They walked outside, she pointed to her car. He waited until she opened the door, and smiled.
"Woody thank you for being such a gentleman"
'Your welcome, but I can't wait until our date"
"Well it is Friday Sam said I can have the night off. I'm looking forward to our date, you can choose what we should do"
"I have a idea, but I will tell you about it tomorrow ok"
"Ok Woody goodnight"
"Melinda"
"Yes Woody". He moved close bringing his lips over hers, and kissed her so tenderly. He blushed, and whispered, "I'm sorry I couldn't help myself"
"You are so sweet Woody, that was such a sweet kiss". She touched his cheek, and got in the car, and waved, and drove off. Woody touched his cheek, and whispered, "Goodnight Melinda"

Chapter 8
Melinda drove home, and went inside seeing her Mom, and Max sitting on the couch.
"Mom he is still up it is after 11"?
"I have tried all night he wanted to say goodnight. I brought him out the only thing that calmed him down was watching Back to the Future."
"Max Mommy is home bedtime Sweetie"
Max pouted, "You didn't call me all night"
"Oh I forgot Sweetie, I had such a long night"
"You promised to call on your break"
"Yes I did Mommy was so wrong, but I promise I won't do that again"
"I'm mad"
"I know you are, and I'm so sorry Max's"
"Ok don't do it ever again promise"
"Promise". Max's went into her arms, and she lifted him up carrying him to his room. She laid him in bed, and handed him his favourite teddy bear. She kissed him on the forehead, as he shut his eyes, and was sound to sleep in no time. She got up turning the light out, and shut the door slightly. She walked to the kitchen, her Mom made her a coffee.
"How was your first night at the Bar"?
'Well it was different, I enjoyed myself but something happened"
"Oh know you didn't get fired"?
"No Mom thanks"
"Well what happened are you ok"?
"Yes but I'm going on three dates this week"
"Yeah sure you are"
"Mom I am Sam the owner, Woody the bartender, and Frasier a customer"
"Melinda what are you doing"?
"Mom they are dates, they all like me"
"Three men Melinda you are asking for trouble"
"I'm going to be ok they all are nice, and I trust them. I have to get to know them better, but I know it seems strange. I need you to help me Mom please don't get mad at me now. You really have been a lifesaver, I love you"
"I love you to Sweetie, but I'm worried"
"I know Mom I know you care, and I know this is wild. I'm just as shocked as you Mom"
"Melinda how did you manage to get three men to ask you out"?
"I really don't know but this is like a dream this is happening to me Mom"
"They all know you have a child right"
"Yeah well I don't know about Frasier"
"Who do you like best"?
"Well that is hard, I like them all the same at this point. Woody is sweet Mom you would adore him he is way to nice. Sam is handsome, he was jealous that Frasier asked me out. He is amazing Mom, he thinks I'm going to pick him"
"Yeah because he is your Boss you don't your out"
"No he said he wouldn't do that to me"
"What is this Frasier like"?
"Handsome , he is different Mom, I can't read him yet"
"Be careful if you ask me, I know who I would choose"
"Who Mom you never met them"?
"I would go for the sweet guy, looks isn't everything"
"Woody is handsome too don't get me wrong"
"I'm staying out of it but don't get hurt Melinda"
"I won't Mom but maybe one of them are the one"
"I hope so Sweetie, I'm going to bed, you should turn in too"
"I am Mom, thanks". She got up kissing Melinda on the cheek, and went to her room. Melinda smiled thinking about Frasier, Woody and Sam, she knew she would probably dream tonight, she just hoped her dreams gave her a clue at what she should do , and who she should choose"?

Chapter 9
Melinda was getting ready for bed when the phone rang. She ran from the bedroom picking up the phone.
"Hello". Melinda turned as her Mother came out of the bedroom. "It is midnight tell whoever that is that you have a small boy sleeping, and they better not have woke him up, or they will deal with me"
"Mom sorry". Her Mother walked back into her bedroom, and shut the door.
"Sorry hello"
"Melinda did I wake you"?
"Frasier is that you"?
"Yeah"
"I have a 5 year old boy, and a angry Mother here"
"Angry"
"Yeah you woke her she isn't happy"
"I forgot you had a family, I'm sorry"
"That is ok is something wrong"?
"Yeah"
"What"?
"I miss you"
"I miss you to Frasier but it is late, and I have to get up with my boy tomorrow"
"Oh I thought we could talk for a while"
"Frasier we have a date on Sunday we can talk than. I'm really happy you called, but it isn't a good idea calling so late, I'm sorry".
"I'm really sorry did I wake your son"?
"No, I don't think so or he would be out here now"
"Tonight was fun until Sam ruined our moment"
"Frasier this whole evening was wild, but I really enjoyed myself with you all"
"You like Woody, and Sam too"?
"Yeah why"?
"I was hoping one of them were out of the running already"
"Frasier what is up with you three, I'm not all that special"
"Oh you are you are a breath of fresh air . I'm so tired of the ladies that come into the bar, they are out for a good time. You seem really sweet, and that is so cute"
"You are very kind Frasier, I'm really looking forward to our date"
"Do you want me to make the plans Melinda'?
"Yes but tell me how I should dress"?
"Get dressed up, I'm taking you dancing and for a lovely dinner"
"Oh that sounds nice but on Sunday"
"Yeah this place is open 7 days a week, why did Woody get friday"?
"He seemed sad so I gave him the first date"
"Oh the sweet guys get all the luck"
"Well your sweet too Frasier"
"Melinda"
"Yeah"
"Can I call you tomorrow, but I won't call so late"?
"Sure I will be up, but I have to work tomorrow"
"Maybe I will stop at the bar"
"That would be nice, but I have to work"
"I know Sam thinks your amazing, but who wouldn't"
"Frasier I better go before my Mom comes out"
"Ok goodnight Melinda"
"Goodnight Frasier". She hung up, and was standing there when her Mother's bedroom door opened.
"Which one was that"?
"Frasier he missed me"
Melinda's Mom smiled, "Oh God this is crazy but I sure wish someone would call me to say they missed me". Melinda smiled she felt so happy she hugged her Mom, than ran to her bedroom, and shut the door, leaning against it. She walked over laying on the bed, as she hugged the pillow thinking about Frasier, Sam and Woody.

Oh God this story makes me cry, when I read it back. I love writing it.
Chapter 10
The next morning
Melinda was in the kitchen cooking breakfast, when Max walked into the kitchen.
"Mommy"
"Good Morning Baby, I was going to wake you up in a minute"
"Grandma will be out in a minute"
"Good do you want eggs or cereal"?
"I want cereal and peanut butter toast"
"Thought so"
Melinda put some toast in the toaster when her morning came in the kitchen.
"I'm surprised you are up first since your gentleman caller called so late"
"Mom I only talked a few moments"
"Mom what is a gentleman caller"?
"A friend Grandma is being silly"
Max smiled, "Your being silly Grandma". She smiled but walked over to Melinda, "Hey girl in my day a guy calling late at night has it bad for you"
"Mom Max is right here stop being bad"
"I'm not but what are you going to do"?
"Mom I'm going on 3 dates you know that. I like them all but they are friends right now. I don't know if one of them will be the one but if one of them is, that seems perfect to me"
Melinda's Mom touched Melinda's cheek, she had tears in her eyes. "I want the best for you baby, I will die if you get hurt again"
"Mom great now you have me crying". Melinda wiped the tears from her eyes, as Max yelled, "My toast is ready". Melinda smiled at her Mom , "Stop Ma Ma, I'm scared enough, but they all are real special". She walked the toast over to Max, and kissed his forehead. Melinda's Mom poured the coffee, as Melinda brought her, and her Mom's eggs, and toast over. She smiled at Max's he was so happy, but she really wanted him to have a Father figure in his life. He so deserved that, and she deserved to be happy too. She heard the door bell ring, she walked over opening it up. She smiled, "Oh My are they for me"?
"You are Melinda right"?
"Yes"
"They are for you". Melinda ran to her purse getting a $5.00 bill, and handed it to the flower delievery guy, and said thank you. She walked into the kitchen , it was the most beautiful bouguet of daisy's, and carnations. She put it on the counter, and pulled out the card. She started to smile but tears came to her eyes as she read it.
"Hello Ms. Melinda Thank you for accepting a date with me friday. I would be honoured if you, and your son would join me"
Your Friend Woody
Melinda walked over handing the card to her Mother. She stared at Melinda "Oh God Melinda, he included Max"s.
"I know Ma Ma". Melinda wiped tears from her eyes, Woody was way to sweet. She knew if she didn't pick him it may break his heart, and the thought of doing that to such a sweet guy broke her heart just as bad.
