Melinda I hope this story cheers you up. Chapter 1 Melinda was divorced, and had a son named Max, and she was happy he was going real well. She has had her ups, and downs but everything has been going well. She has recently got a job, and was making extra money, and she decided to buy Max's a treat, he was at a after school class, and she had some time before she had to pick him up. She walked down to the Comic Strip, and Movie store she went to every payday to get Max's one of his favourite comics he loved. She went inside, and walked over looking at the selections. She smiled a young man was looking at the comics, and she whispered. "You getting one of these for your child"? "Pardon" "Comics you getting one for one of your children"? "No I like them myself some of them are pretty cool. I love these ones they are Back to the Future they can be for any age" "My Son Max's loves them, and he loves the Superman ones too" "I have almost everyone of the Superman ones. I have all the movies, and the figurines, I got them when I was a child, but I saved them they would be worth a lot of money some day. My Parents are gone so I couldn't sell them the value is priceless, I remember every Birthday and Christmas my Parents gave me one. They said Santa did but I know now it was them" Melinda smiled, "I'm Melinda it is nice to meet you" "Gabe it is nice to meet you too, so your Son Max's likes comics, so your married" "I was I'm divorced, I buy him one for a treat every payday. He gets so excited, I love seeing him smile" "You are a cool Mom" "I try to be my son has Autism, but he is so sweet. He has really grown up, but he probably will never outgrow these comics" "Probably not I never did" Melinda smiled, "Well Gabe it was nice meeting you , have fun reading it". She was walking away. "Melinda" "Yes" Melinda turned, and Gabe was nervous but he went for it. "Would you like to go out for a coffee"? "Now"? "Well yes or some other time if you like" "Well I have to get my son from school so now would not be a great time" "Well I can drive you to get him, and we can take him to McDonald's, I love McDonald's don't you"? "Well yes my Son would love that but I don't even know you Gabe" "I know but it is Friday, and I really don't want to go home , and put in a TV dinner. I'm really tired of being alone, and I just thought we both could get to know each other. I'm fine I'm a great guy, I just kind of scare women off because I'm a little different. I'm a Coordinating Director of Emerging Regions for Dunder Mifflin/Sabre. I just would like to get to know someone, and have fun, but I would understand if I'm freaking you out right now" "Your not freaking me out" "Really"? "Yes Gabe sure it would be lovely if you could drive me to pick up my son, and we could all go out to eat. I'm just saying a nice dinner , I'm not promising anything else " "That is great dinner, and maybe we will hit it off" "Maybe" Gabe smiled, "Lets go pay for our stuff, and go pick up your boy". Melinda walked up to the front, Gabe put his stuff down, and took her 2 comics saying he wanted to treat for them. She said no but he insisted so she let him. She did feel this was strange but he seemed nice enough. She started to laugh as she whisper, "You like the movie, "Titanic" "Yeah I wore my copy out at home, I came here to get a new copy. This store has almost any movie you want it is the best" "Titanic that is priceless" "Why"? "Max's will talk your ear off he loves this movie, you will definitely be on his good list" "I can watch this film over, and over, and I love horror" "Oh God no horror" "OK no horror" Gabe smiled as he paid, and they both left the store to get Max's. To be continued.

Chapter 2
Melinda and Gabe arrived at Max's school. She hoped he would be OK, he sometimes got upset when he met people he didn't know. She smiled at Gabe, as they both went inside, and walked to the classroom where Max's was. Melinda knocked on the door, and Mrs. Stewart the Teacher answered.
'Hello Melinda Max's is all ready he has been waiting for you"
"I'm not late am I"?
"No but he missed you obviously, he has talked about you when we had discussion group. We know you love The Office, Frasier, M.A.S.H, and Sam and Diane so you are a Cheer fan me too. He said you are a writer, and a good one but he said you don't like watching Titanic as much as him. He said you cook ok, but he loves Pizza night the best. He hates to clean his room, but you showed him how to make his bed, and he said you were really proud. "
Gabe smiled, "Why don't you like Titantic much Melinda it is so great"?
"Gabe he has seen it about 100 times"
"Me Too" Gabe laughed making Melinda laugh too. Max's ran over , "Mom"
"Hi Sweetie this is my new Friend Gabe this is Max's my Sweet boy"
"Mom don't call me sweet boys are not sweet"
"Oh sorry"
Gabe smiled, "Hello Max's I hear you like comics too"
"Yes Mom did you buy me 2 you promised"?
'Actually I didn't"
"Mom why I was good you promised"
Gabe touched his shoulder, "Actually we both bought you a couple, I got the same ones"
"You like comics you are old"
Melinda whispered, "Max's that isn't nice, I'm so sorry Gabe"
"I have been told I'm a man that never grew up, but I don't care I love my comics, and I will at 80"
"See Mom it is cool to like comics, and they are not a waste of money"
"You should see my collection Max's I will show you sometime". Melinda was kind of shocked but she didn't say anything.
"Max's get your coat, we are going to McDonald's Gabe is treating"
"Oh great you always want pizza"
"Yeah and you love pizza young man"
"I do especially for lunch, I hate those sandwiches they are not cool"
Max's ran over to get his coat, and bag. Melinda whispered, "Thanks for doing this , and I'm sorry if he offended you in anyway. He didn't mean to he says whatever is on his mind."
"I like that about him, he seems really nice"
"He is the best, I don't know what I would do without him. He can be a challenge but he is the reason, I keep going everyday. He has Autism, but he overcomes so many obstacles everyday, I'm so proud of him"
"I don't know much about Autism, but he seems really well adjusted"
"Thanks that is sweet" Max ran over, "Lets go I'm starving, I didn't eat my sandwich"
'Max you must eat"
"I did eat my cookies, and my juice, and my apple"
"Come on we will talk about that later"
"Can I have a big meal, but can I still get a toy"
"We will see come on" They walked outside, and he was impressed by Gabe's car. He had to admire it for 5 minutes before getting in. He made Gabe, and Melinda laugh when he said it was like one of his toy cars, but better. They got in, and the three of them were off to McDonald's.
To be continued.

Chapter 3
Max's, Melinda and Gabe got to McDonald's, and went inside. They ordered their food, and walked to a booth. Max's was hungry he dug in right away, he did have a healthy appetite. Gabe smiled as Melinda told Max's to slow down, and chew.
"I'm hungry Mom"
Gabe grab his burger he rarely goes to McDonald's, but he liked to come here once in a while. He has been alone for a while , he really missed Erin, but being with Melinda and Max's he forgot all about her. He realized Erin never really loved him, she was in love with Andy , and he was to stupid to realize it. He felt like a normal person, he often wondered what it would be like to have a family to come home too. He can admit now living with Erin was not really fun she basically hated everything he liked, and he couldn't stand the shows she liked, and her constant taking about Andy drove him crazy. He just wants to be happy, and he sure hoped Melinda would like to get to know him better.
"Gabe your quiet you sure you don't mind McDonald's"?
"I love it here who wouldn't love these burgers". Max's laughed as Melinda smiled too.
"Mom can he come back to our house, I can show him my Model cars, and comics. I can show him all the movies I have, and he can see our place"
"Well I'm not to sure Gabe would like that he might need to get home"
"No I have nothing waiting for me there, I would love to go back to your place to talk"
"That will be fine, but beware Max's has a lot to show you".
"Yeah I have so many movies it takes up 2 shelves. Mom has some movie and TV shows, but mine are better. I love Titanic, I have movies, books, and I can show you you tube my Mom made a wonderful video for me. She can make you one she is really talented"
Gabe took out his phone, and went on the Internet, and logged into you tube. He told Max's to find the video. He did, and he was showing Gabe, and Melinda smiled seeing Max's was taking to Gabe, and that was special because he didn't take to people really fast.
"Wow this is way cool , I should send this to some of my co-workers at work you tube is their favourite site. I should show you some of their videos they love the attention. I don't really get in the videos much because they don't invite me, but I watch from the side"
"Awe why don't they invite you"?
"I don't really fit it, maybe because I'm like a Boss. I want to fit in, but I'm tired of trying"
"That is really sad their loss, you are sweet, I can tell". Melinda smiled as Gabe was overwhelmed all he could say was , "Thank You"
Gabe got up, "I'm going to have some ice cream, anyone else game"?
"Me" Max's said , and Melinda said she would have one too.
Melinda watched as Gabe went up to get the ice cream. Max's asked if he could go up, and help?. She said it was OK, Max's ran up standing beside Gabe. Melinda smiled she didn't know what the future held for her, and Max's , but she really felt like maybe Gabe would be part of it. She really liked him, and trusted him, and that was something for her because she finds it hard to trust. She was happy, really happy for the first time in a long time. Max's was her life, but she would like to have someone special in her life, and Gabe was fun, sweet, and a little sad. She would take it slow, and just maybe this friendship might grow into something more special.

Chapter 4
Gabe came over with Max's with the ice cream cones. Max's was already digging into his, and Gabe smiled at Melinda. Gabe handed Melinda her cone, and she said thank you.
Gabe didn't know what came over him, but he leaned over giving Melinda a kiss. Max's stopped eating his mouth was open, Melinda was speechless. Gabe felt bad he really didn't want to make Melinda upset.
"I'm so sorry , I really never intended to do that"
"Really because I thought it was kind of sweet"
"It was gross kissing when your eating". Max's said
Gabe smiled, "You really thought it was kind of sweet"
"I wasn't expecting it, but I liked it"
"Oh Mom" Melinda smiled as she brought her ice cream to her mouth. Gabe was eating his while Max's was looking at them both. Max's finally got up, 'Mom can I go into the playroom just for a little while"
"Sure but be careful , I will be watching from here". Max's got up going to the room, Melinda could see him from where she was so that made her at ease. She normally hated letting Max's out of her sight, she worried about him all the time. She was told he needed to feel more dependent. Max's waved to them from inside the room. He was going up the jungle gym.
" Melinda that kiss , I don't know what came over me. You are so sweet, and I just wanted to kiss you"
"Gabe it is OK , I told you it was sweet"
"Max's is OK about it right"?
'Max's has autism, but he is smart , but he is fine"
"Melinda being around you both makes me feel like I have some friends"
"You must have friends Gabe what about work"?
"I really don't have many friends Melinda if you haven't noticed I'm weird"
"Weird I don't understand"
"I like comics, I love horror,but I love cartoons, and Disney movies. I don't know how to talk to woman, I fall in love real fast, and I hate being lonely, but I have been told it is because I'm weird, and I'm overbearing"
"I don't see that, I love cartoons, and I love Disney movies. I think you are sweet, but I can see you are lonely, but never let other people make you feel different, you are special, and that is sweet Gabe"
"You are so beautiful has anyone told you that recently"?
"Not lately but I don't feel beautiful"
"Well you are". Gabe touched her cheek, and traced his thumb over her cheek. She smiled as he moved close, and asked her if he could kiss her again.?
'Don't ask just go for it Gabe"
He brought his lips over hers, and she shut her eyes, he was a wonderful kisser. She jumped when Max's banged on the window , and she could see he was making fun of them. He put his hand to his face, and pretended to kiss it. He was laughing making Melinda, and Gabe laugh too.

Chapter 5
Gabe smiled touching Melinda's lip making her blush.
'Melinda you will never know what today means to me'
"I have a feeling I do, it was pretty awesome , I had a wonderful time"
"No I was so lonely, and I was thinking about quiting my job. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, I'm good at it, but going to work, and not really having friends sucks. I hate waking up every morning knowing my day will be the same, but today meeting you, I see hope. I'm not rushing things don't get me wrong. I just hope I can spend time with you, and Max's. I know your Son is your priority, and he should be, but I think maybe me, and you can get to know each other "
"I think that is a wonderful idea Gabe, and I know how you feel about being lonely. I have my son he is amazing, my family are wonderful, but I am lonely too. I spend so much time dealing with my Son's needs as I should but sometimes I forget about my needs. I need to have someone to talk to , and some days I get up feeling pretty sad too. I have my own issues, and someday we will get to know each other better. I think we should go slow, and see where this takes us"
"You want to get to know me"?
"Yes Gabe why is that so surprising"
"My Last girlfriend hurt me bad, I thought she really loved me. She was in love with someone in the same office. I could see how she felt around him, but I pretended I didn't see it. She actually told me she only dated me because I was the boss, and she felt she had to when I asked her out. I felt horrible, I thought maybe she was the one, but guess what she wasn't. I don't want to blow my chances this time getting to attached, but I can't help it, you are amazing Melinda. You are the most beautiful woman, I have ever met. I have never been this happy in my whole life, and I want to kiss you again, but I know you are not ready"
Melinda grabbed him, and kissed him, and whispered. "Stop trying so hard, we will take this slow, but you are amazing, and this girlfriend of yours was so wrong doing what she did to you. I would never string someone along, and hurt them like that. I'm a shy person, but I tell it like it is. If I Feel we should stop, I would tell you right away. I have a feeling that won't happen. Max's doesn't take to people right off, and he thinks you are awesome. He is a good judge of character, and I think if he is willing to give you a chance so am I"
Gabe smiled, and Melinda realized he had the most amazing smile. He is handsome, she sure hoped she was right about him.
Max's ran over, "Mom can I have another ice cream"?
"Another one you and your ice cream"
"Oh Mom please just 1 more"
Gabe smiled as Melinda laughed, and said as long as she could have one too. Gabe got up, and whispered. "3 cones coming up". He walked away, and Max's hugged his Mom, and smiled.
"Mom I like Gabe is he your boyfriend"?
"Well Max's we just met he is a friend"
"You kissed him, you kiss your friend"?
"You are to smart for your own good Max's, I think he just might turn out to be my boyfriend if I'm lucky"
"Mom he is a keeper, I like him, he likes McDonald's, Titanic, ice cream, and my Mom, just like me"
Melinda was never so proud of Max's, she hugged him, and whispered, "I love you too Max's."
Max's ran over to Gabe to help him carry the ice cream, as Melinda watched wondering if just maybe she found the man she has been waiting her whole life for.
