Its a Saturday and I wake my kids,give them all baths and we head downstairs for breakfast. We have pancakes for breakfast since its a weekend.

I clean up after my children finish their breakfast and I proceed to the living room where my children are sitting watching their favorite cartoon. I join them on the couch and they all snuggle to me. We watch cartoons for close to an hour. We then go to the backyard so that the children can run about and play on their swings and slides.

At around 11:30am,I lead them back to the house to their playroom. I put quisha down for a nap and started on making lunch.

We had lunch,cleaned,took a nap,watched TV and before we knew it,it was dinner time. We all went upstairs. I bathed and changed the children and did the same for my self. When we were done,we headed out the door for our usual Saturday dinner dates,just the four of us.

We went to Leon's favorite restaurant since last week we were at Toya's.

The restaurant was warm and cozy,beautiful decor and smiling servers.

We were led to our table by a friendly hostess,she helped the children up to their seats and brought a high chair for quisha. A few seconds later,menus were placed before us and ordered for us all.

As we sat chatting with my children,quisha started getting fussy. I thought it was because of the high chair,I got her out but her cries got louder and louder.

Fellow diners started giving me death glares. I bounced her on my legs,patted her back,checked her diaper but she wouldn't keep down.

Then I felt someone touch my shoulder and ask."Is everything okay sir?",the person asked with a concerned voice.

"uhmm.. Everything is...",I replied

Turning my attention from quisha to the person who was talking to me but I didn't finish my statement as I saw who it was "Josie?",I said.

"oohh.Hi Mr Bent....sorry Matthew",She said

"What are you doing here?",I asked.

Surprised to see her.

I didn't think I would see her again.

And God She was beautiful just like that night. Her brown hair,her pearl white teeth,her well situated curves and her blue eyes,I would get lost in them.

I stared at here before I realised she was saying something and I tried to brush off my thoughts and give her my attention.

"I am having dinner with my friend over there,but this little princess' cries got to me so i decided to check",she replied.

"Its now two days and she is cranky. I cant seem to quiet her",I told her in a sad tone.

"Can I hold her?",she offered.

I nodded and handed her the crying baby.I don't know what happened to my policy of not letting strangers near my child,but at this point I didn't care.

She cradled her to her chest and whispered in her ear as she rubbed her back. She started quieting down and slowly started dozing.

"I don't know what's happening with her but this is the second time I cant quiet her and a stranger does",I said shaking my head in disbelief.

"Its thing with babies,she is probably missing something. Where is her mom?if you don't mind me asking",she asked.

As much as I wanted to ignore the question,I found myself telling her," She is not in the picture.She left".Having an expressionless face as I answered her.

"Oh am sorry for asking",She said apologetically.

Trying to make her not feel guilty,I said,"No worries I get asked that alot of times. You can give her to me and finish your dinner since she is sleeping",I continued.

As she handed her to me,she started whimpering again.

"May be I can keep holding her as you finish with the two. I am sitting over there with my friend.",she offered.

I felt a pang of guilt. I was burdening her with my own responsibility and ruining her dinner,so I told her," I don't want to burden you,I can have her and we can go home so she doesn't remove the roof of this restaurant with her wails".I chuckled.

" No its okay,besides these two cuties would love to eat out today",she said as she bent to their level supporting quisha's head with her hand.

"And what could be the names of the most beautiful and handsome babies I have ever seen?",she asked with a thinking expression on her face that made my children giggle.

"My name is Latoya and am 6.My brother is leonidus and he is 4.And our baby is laquisha and she is 1.But you can call me toya and my brother Leon and baby quisha ",replied my sweet girl.

"Those are beautiful names for beautiful babies",she said earning more giggles from my children.

A smile crept to my lips as I watched how sweet she was to my children and they too seemed to warm up to her.

That though was not the only thing I was looking at but i was dazzled by her beauty. I found myself gazing at her and was snapped out when she announced she was going back to her dinner table with quisha.

I nodded feeling embarrassed after being caught staring and she left.

Our food was brought,we ate and chatted away with my other two loves but I would still glance back at Josie to see how she was holding up with quisha.

Quisha was sleeping peacefully in her chest and I felt relaxed and relieved.

Then my thoughts roamed back to what Benji and Lynda said:

"You need help to care for your children."

Then still deep in thought,Josie approached our table.

"Are you done with you dinner",I asked.

"Yes,my friend has left since she needs to rest up before she starts work on Monday".She replied.

As she talked my eyes were looking at her juicy plump lips.I imagined kissing those lips.

"Get grip on yourself man,you have just met her",I thought to myself.

"Ohh,okay we are also ready to leave",I told her."Can I drop you home?",I asked.

"No,its fine I will take a cab,you need to take these cuties home,its past their bedtime",She declined my offer though her reasoning was valid.

"You at right,thank you very much for your help this evening Josie.I don't know what I would have without you",I thanked her genuinely.

"The pleasure was mine,am glad I was of help considering you saved my life yesterday",she replied smiling.

God her smile gave me goosebumps. "What is happening to meeee",I screamed in my head.

We headed out of the restaurant together,as she still held quisha and I was holding Toya and Leon's hands.

"The perfect family",I thought before screaming again in the head.

She hugged my children and waited till I buckled them up in their car seats. We bid our goodbyes and parted ways.

Then I realised I forgot to ask for her contact details. I turned my car back hoping she would still be waiting for a cab but it was too late,she was gone. I felt stupid.

I reached home and tucked my already sleeping babies in bed and went to bed myself.

I kept having Josie 's picture in my head,how she handled my babies,how her tone was sweet talking to my children and how her lips moved as she talked to me.

Her smile made me want to do things to her.

Then reality hit me,I didn't have her contact. Yes I knew her place but I would go there without a reason.

Atleast I had good memories of her and with that I slept off.

After dinner with Sherry,I approached Matthew and his beautiful children's table.They were done with dinner and we moved out of the restaurant together.

"The perfect family" I thought to myself then laughed at myself because I knew I wasn't his type.

I waited till he buckled his babies in their car seats. We bid our goodbyes and he drove off.

He didn't even ask for my contact details. "Ouch..that hurt",I said to myself and chuckled.

I hailed for a cab and home I went knowing I would never see Matthew again.

I reached home and went straight to bed because I was

As I lay on the bed waiting for sleep to take over,my thoughts were invaded by pictures of Matthew.

His eyes,his body,his voiceI squealed like a teenager.

Then my nerves gave in as my eyes closed with images of man I would never see again flooding my mind.

It is worth dreaming.......I mumbled to myself
