Blake’s P.O.V.
When we came back from the beach that afternoon, we gave the kids a bath. I know I just got here but I decide to go out for the night. John was working at their club tonight so I go there to hang out with him.
“Hey man”
“Hey, what are you doing here?”
“Ah, the kids went out in an instant”
“So how you’ve been?”
“All right I guess, it’s been hard without the kids around”
“And Kara?”
“Yeah I miss her too but, you know, if she doesn’t want to come back I can’t make her”
“You’ll be all right, man”
“Yeah, thanks”
“Just make sure to take it easy tonight”
“You got it”
**1 hour later:
Kara’s P.O.V.
I get a call in the middle of the night from Carlos.
“Hello?”
“Hey, could you come downstairs, I got a gift for you”
“What? Okay, hang on” I go downstairs as fast as I can and open the door. “Urgh, what happened?”
“Just history repeating itself” he said holding Blake “John called me, saying to bring him to you cause he had too many”
“Jesus Christ, you gotta be kidding me. What the hell’s wrong with you?” I was talking to Blake now.
“What’d I do?” he said with a slurred voice
“Thanks Carlos”
“No problem” I close the door as soon as he left. I help Blake up the stairs and he starts making noise.
“Shh, you’re gonna wake everybody” we finally get to his room. I take his shirt and shoes off. “Why the hell did you drink so much?”
“It’s your fault”
“How is it my fault?”
“You, taking the kids”
“Like you care? You barely called them, you always called SO late, when they were already sleeping”
“It was the only time I could call”
“The only time you could call? Blake, there are 24 hours in a day! You’re telling me that you couldn’t pick up the phone when you got out of practice and call them?”
“NO”
“Why not?!”
“Because… I’m depressed! You don’t know what it’s like! Every day, that empty house, all I did was take a shower and go to sleep! Wishing the day would pass”
His words brought tears to my eyes “I’m sorry” he comes closer to me “Why did you leave?”
“I---” he cuts me off with a kiss, one which I wouldn’t get out of, I knew this was gonna happen. Things heat up in a flash, I didn’t want to do it, but I still love him. He ended up throwing me on the bed and getting on top of me. He took my clothes off, my mind was somewhere else…
We end up having sex, when we’re finished he lays on the side and drops dead asleep. I can’t believe I just did that… I’ve never cheated on anyone before. I can’t tell Kevin, he’ll freak, and I wouldn’t blame him, I put on my clothes and leave to my room, I even forgot I left the kids alone. I just hope Blake was drunk enough to not remember this tomorrow.
**Next day:
I was feeding the kids, Kira and Kora went to the carnival, but I decided to stay. I see Blake walking to the kitchen…
“Hey” he says
“Hi” I say awkwardly.
“So… last night was fun” GREAT! He remembers, just what I didn’t want.
“Blake, last night---”
“Didn’t happen?” he bites his bottom lip out of disappointment.
“I just--- I……. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have slept with you”
“Yeah, I get it” he walks to Tyler “He buddy how are you? Come on, let’s go watch some TV” he picks him up from his seat and take him to the living room.
“Blake…”
“I get it Kara!” I feel HORRIBLE, I shouldn’t have done that to him. ‘Long hard-ass summer’ I said to myself. I hear the front door close and Simon runs to me.
“Hey Aunt Kara, look what I won!” he shows me a toy.
“A tiger? That’s so nice”
“Yeah” he laughs and runs after Thomas and Lucas who when to the backyard.
“What’s wrong with you?” Kira asked as soon as she saw my face.
“Spill” Kora said. I took my time to answer but I have to tell them, they’re my sisters.
“I slept with Blake last night”
“What?! Are you crazy?” Kora said
“Nice”
“He was drunk, I didn’t think he was going to remember”
“Jesus, Kara… He’s not gonna want to leave without you now”
“I told him it was a mistake”
“Okay now I know she’s crazy, what’d he say?” Kira asked
“That he gets it, but he was pissed”
“Yeah, no shit you just told the guy you’ve been with for almost 3 years, proposed to, and had two children with it was a mistake to sleep with him, when clearly the both of you still have feelings for each other” Kora says
“I know” I groan
“Are you gonna tell Kevin?” Kira asks
“I don’t know, not now though”

Blake’s P.O.V.
I can’t believe she just said that to me, it pissed me off, meaningless sex my ass. But if that’s the way she wanted it, that’s the way she was gonna get it… I decide to go out again that night and land me a girl.
**At the club:
John: “Hey, man” we shake hands
“Hey, don’t worry, I’ll take it easy tonight”
“Yeah you better” we laugh. I go to the VIP area and have couple of drinks, after a while a see a girl walking to my table.
“Hey” she says with a smile and a drink in her hand
“Hi”
“I couldn’t help noticing you’re here alone”
“Yeah, just trying to get my mind off things”
“Mm, girl trouble?”
“No, just… life” I lie, I couldn’t tell her the truth if I wanted to sleep with her.
“So what’s your name?”
“Blake, what’s yours?”
“Christina”
“Nice name, you here alone?”
“With my girls, but you look cute and I had to come talk to you… Plus you look real tall and I like tall men”
“Haha good to know”
“So what are you? Like a basketball player?”
“Yeah, actually”
“For real?” I nod while taking a drink “Like a pro player?” I didn’t like it when girls threw themselves at me for my fame and money, but what the hell I just wanted to sleep with her.
“Yeah”
“Cool, so are you here for vacation?”
“Yeah, I’m visiting my kids”
“You got kids?”
“Yeah, two… Well actually three I just have two here, you got any kids?”
“Nah, it’s just me” she smiles and gets close to my ear to whisper “Do you want to get out of here? This place is getting kind of crowded and boring”
“Sure, come on”

Kara’s P.O.V.
I was looking for Blake everywhere, I couldn’t find him. I called his phone and nothing, I knew he was pissed but he couldn’t just ignore me.
“Hey have you seen Blake?” I ask Kora
“No why?”
“Tyler doesn’t stop asking for him, hey Kira! You seen Blake?”
“Yeah, I think he went out”
“God, he better not come here drunk again”
“Like you would mind?”
“Kira!” I call his phone again and this time I hear it and his voice on the house.
“I’m here, calm down” he says, I hang up and walk to the front door.
“Where have you been?”
“Out”
“Your son’s been looking for you” he starts walking inside and I see a woman behind him. “Whoa, whoa, whoa, what is this?”
“I was--- She was gonna stay here tonight” What the hell? Is he crazy?
“Uh… no she’s not”
“What? Why?”
“Can I talk to you for a second? Alone” I tell him walking to the kitchen and he follows “Are you kidding me?”
“What?”
“This isn’t a fucking motel Blake”
“Fine we’ll leave then”
“You’re gonna leave your son? Who’s been looking for you all night?”
“I’ll say good night”
“He wants to spend the night with you, he hasn’t fallen asleep yet waiting for you”
“And when he does I’ll leave”
“Why are you doing this? Is it because of what I said this morning? Because if it is, take it out on me not on the kids”
“Not everything’s about you Kara” he says walking away and I scoff. He goes upstairs to lay with Tyler until he fell asleep, I got back to the front door to the girl, you can bet she wasn’t staying here.
“Hi”
“Hi, I’m Christina, you must be his baby mama” I hated it when people said that.
“I’m the mother of his kids, yeah. Listen, my sons not feeling very well so Blake’s gonna look after him for a while, let me call you a cab, I’ll tell Blake to call you”
“Oh, okay, but he doesn’t have my number”
“No it’s okay I think he has it”
“Okay” she was wasted I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t remembered this tomorrow. I wait for the cab to arrive, help her inside and tell the cab driver the direction on her driver’s license. I go back inside, and Blake was walking down the stairs.
“Where’s Christina?”
“She wasn’t feeling well, she went home… now you can stay all night wit Tyler” I give him a sarcastic smile.
