[Sanda]

Great update Jessie. OMG I LOVE that Woody wanted to include Melinda's son Max on their date on Friday night.

[jessie]

Chapter 11

Melinda had breakfast with her family, she was so overwhelmed. Her Mother was doing the dishes, and Melinda put the TV on for Max's he loved his morning cartoons. She sat beside him, and held him for awhile, than she got up to go get dressed. She didn't have to work until the afternoon, but she had to do some errands before going in. She went to her room, the phone rang so she grabbed it.

"Hello"

"Melinda it is Woody"

"Oh Woody thank you for the lovely flowers that was so sweet"

"You liked them, I didn't know what kind of flowers you loved. I will be honest, I knew all ladies love Roses, but I couldn't afford roses they are expensive". Melinda smiled, "I love all flowers Woody but you shouldn't have"

"Well I was wondering if you like to go to a local carnival Friday? I thought we could bring Max's, we could have hot dogs , caramel apples, and cotton candy. ". Melinda sat on the bed, "A carnival, that sounds real sweet, and your inviting my son"?

"Oh I thought I should get to know him, because I'm really hoping you will go on a 2nd, and 3rd date with me too. I know I'm not like Sam and Frasier. I'm not real handsome but I'm real fun, and I respect ladies real well. My Mother told me no matter what a woman deserves respect, and I always remembered that. I don't remember some stuff sometimes, but I remember everything my Ma Ma told me. I never dated anyone that had a child before, and I'm like a big kid myself. Frasier said I didn't stand a chance with a classy lady like you, but who knows you might fall madly in love with me"

"Woody you are something, and your Mom sounds real smart"

"Oh she is all Mother's are right"

"Yeah all Mother's are pretty smart"

"Are you OK Melinda about Friday, or would you like to do something else"?

"Sounds perfect, and I think Max's would love going to a carnival"

'Great I will see you at work tonight"

'See you Woody, and thanks for the flowers again, they were real special"

"Like you Ms. Melinda your real special too, and so pretty'. Melinda had tears in her eyes, "Thank you Woody"

"Bye". Melinda hung up, and sat on the bed. She smiled holding her pillow, and laid back. "Oh man what am I going to do"? The phone rang she grabbed it. "Hey Woody what did you forget to say"?

"Woody it is Sam , what Woody is calling you at home"?

"Well he actually sent flowers he is such a sweet man"?

"Oh he is playing real well he is really going for it"

"What he is not going for anything Woody is a perfect gentleman"

"I wasn't being mean but you have to know Woody he is like a kid himself. He likes you Melinda, but you will have to let him down easily"

'What makes you think he won't be the one I choose to continue dating"?

"Woody"?

"Yes Woody he would make any woman happy, and anyone that got him would be lucky"

"Oh man your not falling for him already"?

"Sam why did you call"? Melinda told him to wait her Mother was knocking at the door. Melinda ran to the bedroom door opening it.

"Sweetie another man set you these, OMG these are roses, beautiful ones". Melinda took them putting them on her dresser, and opened the card. She smiled , and read the card.

"Hey Melinda

I know I have the last date but you will be saving the best for last. I don't know what is going on with me, but I couldn't sleep last night, all I thought about was you. Hope you like the roses, and until we see each other again, know that I'm thinking of you'
Luv Sam

"Mom thanks Sam is on the phone"

"Ok I will keep Max's busy". Melinda shut the door, and walked over picking up the phone.

[melindajo2000]

Melinda really has her hands full I love this, nice job Jessie

[Sanda]

Great update Jessie. OMG Melinda has her handsful with Woody, Sam and Fraiser. ;D I LOVE that Woody wantst to take Melinda and Max to a Carnival on Friday Night.

[jessie]

Chapter 12

Melinda sat on the bed, "Sam you sent flowers too, they are lovely"

"Did you read the card"?

"Yes that is so sweet, I didn't sleep well either last night"

'Hope you were only thinking of me"?

"Well I was thinking a lot of things, I'm really overwhelmed at this moment"

"Melinda I don't act like this normally, but you are different"

"Is that a good thing or bad"?

"What do you think would I send roses to someone I didn't like a lot"

"No but Sam you don't know me"

"That is the strange part I'm so attracted to you. I can't get you out of my mind. You are different but real special. I can't wait for our date, but I'm real jealous that Woody and Frasier get to go out first"

"You wanted to be last"

'Yeah I'm a fool I guess the thought of them kissing you makes me sad"

"Sam stop"

"Melinda I will see you at work, I know you have things to do. I'm real happy you joined our team, I just wish Frasier and Woody would back off"

"Promise me you won't fight with them Sam"

"Fight no whoever you choose I will live with that decision. I'm just praying that it is me, goodbye Melinda"

"Bye Sam". She hung up she wiped some tears from her face. She got up, and jumped when she opened the door. Mac's and her Mom were standing there.

"Mom what are you doing"?

"Oh Mac's wanted to see you right Mac"

"Grandma was curious Mom"

"I know that Mac's why don't you get dressed, and I will take you to Walmart"

"Really Mom can I have a toy"

"Maybe but not a expensive one"

"Yeah" Max ran to his room, Melinda smiled at her Mom. "I can't believe you Ma Ma, but I'm so confused"

"Why this is awesome Woody seems adorable, Sam is really something he sent roses. A lady normally has to wait a long time for roses. Your Daddy adored me Sweetie but I didn't get roses until 1 year after we started dating"

"You miss Dad don't you Mom"

"More than you will ever know he was my love, but I have you kids that keep me going."

"I love you Mom". Melinda hugged her, and Max's ran out. "Mom can we go now"

"Sure"

Melinda grabbed her purse, she told her Mom she would be home in a couple of hours. She left with Max's they got to Walmart, Max wanted to go to the toy section right away. Melinda bought his a new baseball glove, and a couple of baseballs. She was walking to the food department when she heard a lady yelling her name.

"Melinda"

She turned seeing Carla with 2 children.

'Carla what a surprise meeting you here"

"Yeah I had to get a few things, is this your little guy"

"Yes this is Max's, and who are these two"?

"Elvis and Jesse my twins"

"Oh hello" She shook their hands, they ran over to Max. "Hey you getting a toy"?

"Yeah a baseball glove and balls"

"Oh man my Mom won't buy us anything, can I have your Mom"?

"I don't know I can ask her". Melinda smiled, "Oh your Mom can't buy you stuff all the time, Max hasn't gotten anything in a while"

"Yeah right your just saying that because my Mom is mean"

Carla laughed, "Boy I'm lucky having these two angels"

Melinda smiled as Carla said she was taking the twins to McDonald's, she asked if she would like to join them?

"Sure I have to get a few things, I will meet you at the front in 20 minutes"

"Great" Melinda waved but smiled seeing Carla with her twins. She was something but she really liked Carla, and hoped to be friends with her in the future.

[melindajo2000]

I really liked Melinda's talk with Sam and its cool that she can be friends with Carla. Really good job Jessie

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. I LOVE that Melinda saw her co-worker Carla with her two kids Jessie and Elvis at Wal-Mart.

[jessie]

Chapter 12

Melinda paid , she saw Carla with Elvis and Jesse waiting for her. Melinda smiled when Carla said there was a McDonald's in the Walmart store. They parked their carts, and went up to the counter to get some food. Max's was really good he asked for a kids meal cheeseburger. Carla was arguing with the twins they wanted the kids meal plus a milkshake, she was telling them they get the pop with the meal. Melinda got her food, and she waited for Carla. They saw two empty booths Carla suggested the 3 kids in one, and they could take the other. Max's was ok with it he loved being around other children. Melinda sat down with Carla who smiled, "I bet you are thinking I'm a bad Mom but they drive me crazy. I have 8 of them, try having 8"

"I have Max's he is good, and no I don't think your a bad Mother Carla"

"I lose my temper bad sometimes, but I'm really stressed. I have had boyfriends but most of them run out on me. I won't get into my love life it sucks real bad. It is nice that I get to talk to you for a little while they would have drove me over the edge listening to their whining, and complaining"

"Are you ok Carla"?

"Yeah I'm just tired, but lets talk about you"

"Me I'm boring"

"Obviously not 3 guys asking you out in 1 night. I once had 2 men but they both were drunk so it wasn't fun really. I ended up taking a cab home alone, what a waste of night that night was"

Melinda laughed, Carla was so different but she really like her.

"Carla you know the three of them real well. Frasier, Sam and Woody, I think they all are real nice. I would like your opinion tell me about them"?

"Oh me Melinda if I had to tell you who to choose I would be bias. I love Woody don't you dare tell him, I will be angry. He is a great guy, he is so sensitive, and sweet. Sam is handsome , strong, caring, stubborn, and sexy, don't you tell him that either. He would never let me live it down".

"What about Frasier"?

"Me and Frasier don't get along all that well. He seems like a nice enough guy Sam loves him but not that way friends to the end they both are. Frasier is mysterious, very opinionated, but I'm that way too. I guess you would be lucky with any of them, but who do you like Melinda"?

"Well Sam is nice, and he has been so wonderful. He sent me Roses with a sweet note this morning. Woody is asking my boy out on our first date, we are going to a carnival. He said basically he would like to meet my boy. He knows if Max's doesn't like him he is pretty much history. He is right about that Max's has to like whoever I choose to date. I might go out with all three, and none of them might want a second date with me"

"Oh that won't happen Melinda, but who do you like so far"?

"Promise you won't say anything to them"

"I won't I swear"

"Well at this moment Sam and Woody have my heart already, but Frasier isn't out of the race yet. I like Frasier but I really haven't had the chance to get to know him. I feel like I know Woody, and Sam is cute, and funny and sweet"

"Sweet Sam girl don't call Malone Sweet"

"He is Carla , and that is the kind of guy I like. Woody brings tears to my eyes good tears. I don't know what I'm going to do"

Carla smiled, "Take your time girl let them make your decision. You make sure you wait until your real sure, than let the other 2 down easy"

"That will be the hard part"

"Yes but the guy that wins your heart Melinda will be the lucky one"

Melinda smiled as Carla whispered, "OMG I'm becoming a romantic, I need help"

"You act tough Carla but you are sweet too"

"Oh Melinda you don't know me give it another couple of weeks, you will have another name for me I'm sure"

Melinda smiled, "Lets eat our burger is getting cold"

"Yeah lets Eat". They smiled, and ate their burger and fries.

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. I LOVED the conversation between Carla and Melinda in this chapter.

[jessie]

Melinda I hope you like this chapter, I thought it might be fun.
Chapter 13

Melinda and Carla finished eating, they walked out to their cars together. Carla said she would see Melinda at work later. They all waved goodbye, Melinda, and Max's drove home. He was so happy he was talking about Carla's kids, he liked them. They got home, and went inside, Max's was telling his Grandma about his new friends. Some of the stuff he was telling her made her Mom laugh.

"Melinda who's kids did he meet"?

"Carla's kids she works at the bar too. I met her at WalMart, she is pretty cool actually".

"Good Melinda you need to have friends"

"Thanks Mom are you calling me boring"

"No Sweetie, but you need to get out these dates might be good for you. I just want you to be careful, you know you are a romantic, this might be to much for you"

"Mom I hate the thought that I have to let 2 of the guys down"

"They are grown men they must know it might happen. You just do what is important for you, and pick the one that wins your heart remember that. "

"I will Mom, thanks for everything, I don't know what I would do without you"

"Well you have me sweetie, why don't you go have a bubble bath, I will watch TV with Max's"

"Sure that sounds great, I have to go to work in a couple of hours. I love my job but it is hard on your feet"

"Well it is lucky you can wear your running shoes at the bar, I couldn't stand waitressing with heels"

"Me heels Mom never".

"Run along, go pamper yourself". Melinda walked down the hall, and went into the bathroom. She filled the tub with her favorite bubble bath, and got in. The water was heavenly, she shut her eyes, but all she could think about was her dates. She smiled she knew this was going to be fun, but she also knew it would be hard to choose between three wonderful guys. She has been alone for years, and all of a sudden she is given a chance at love, but with 3 guys who would have thought. Melinda heard someone knock at her door, she smiled, "Max I will be out in a minute"

"No Melinda you won't believe who is on the phone". Melinda Mom opened the door, and smiled, "Who have you missed talking to for months, after she moved away".

"No way really"?

"She is in town, she said she is moving back to Boston, and she can't wait to see you"

"Is she on the phone"?

"Yeah"

"Bring me the phone" Her Mom went , and got the phone, and handed it to Melinda. "I will be with Max's".

"Jessie"

"Melinda long time no hear girlfriend"

"OMG I have so much to tell you, I'm mad at you, why haven't you called"?

"Hey girl why haven't you kept in touch. I have been busy, but I can't stand being away from my Mom, and my hometown, and my best friend."

'Who is your best friend"?

"You need to ask, what is up Melinda"?

"Well I have a new job, Max's is doing well"

"Oh I miss Max's, I miss watching movies with my Buddy"

"Oh man he will love when you come to visit. You spoil Max's though you can't do that"

"Well I have to I don't have any kids, I love to spoil them"

"Jessie guess what"?

"What "?

"I met 3 of the most amazing guys, I'm going on dates with all three of them"

"OMG Melinda 3 guys at the same time, what is up with that"?

"Be good Jessie we are just going on a date. I just met them, I will explain, but I'm so happy right now"

"Wow you won't have time for me I see"

"You kidding why don't you come to the bar, where I work"?

"What Bar"?

"You know the one named Cheers"?

"Really you are working there cool, are you working tonight"?

"Yeah come around 7 or 8, I can have break with you"

"Can I meet your 3 friends"?

"Probably 2 of them not sure about Frasier"

"Frasier cool, Melinda I have been away a few months, and you changed"

"No I haven't changed, my luck has maybe I'm heading for some happy times"

"I hope so Melinda, see you tonight, I really missed you. I came back for my Mom, but don't tell her, I missed you just as much"

"I love you Jessie, see you tonight".

"Bye" Melinda hung up, she laid back, and smiled. She couldn't believe everything was going so well for her, she just hoped her luck doesn't change, because she deserves to be happy, and at the moment she couldn't be happier.
