He still had work at the country club and would continue on weekends and filming breaks for the extra cash, but he had taken last Tuesday of August to catch up with attempting to clean his apartment, stock up on easy-to-cook foods, and diligently rehearsing his lines. As Superman, he had to understand how to be a good leader. He had read through more than enough books and comics to understand Superman's full background. After doing intense research and obviously running on no sleep as he had done at John Hopkins, he felt like he deserved a reward of his choice. This time around, it was Kaesyn Bale, a manager in the same industry as his. After a successful first date, the two had spent some time together, but none of it came to be as meaningful as the first time they had met. Hayden was a fickle guy, but he was aware that Kaesyn had something better to offer than most females did. She was a real human being, not just a cardboard cut-out of what LA always gave him to look at. After living in the speedy life for a few months, he realized that it wasn't getting much better in the intelligent girls department. After leaving college, it seemed like a struggle to find intellectually like-minded human beings in a group. They seemed spread out and challenging to find. In this case, Kaesyn was that rarity for Hayden, and letting her go would be foolish. That was why he was deciding to take her out for a second official date. The twenty-seven-year-old excitedly held a bouquet of assorted flowers as he walked to her home. He had been there once before -- very briefly, of course -- before their first date. Since then, they had shared lunches and light conversations. Hayden could say he was happy with that, but a second date was necessary. When he finally reached the door, Hayden made sure to brush off his clothes and adjust the flowers to look as geometrically pleasing as possible. He smiled when he saw that each one of them was a perfect distance apart and rang the doorbell. He was a few minutes early, but it didn't seem like such an issue. Before he knew it, some girl he didn't know opened the door, and he released the tension that was holding his posture straight. "Is Kaesyn home?" he asked, obviously perplexed by the unfamiliar face in front of him. "We had a date," he smiled charmingly. The girl nodded to him. "I'm her babysitter," she claimed. Hayden frowned. Babysitter? That was when he saw a young boy approaching the door, and the puzzle pieces just weren't fitting together. "She's getting ready." "Hi," Hayden said, kneeling down to get on the child's level. "I'm Hayden," he grinned. The babysitter invited him inside before Hayden could notice the boy's shy but excited grin. The TV set was on, so Hayden took a seat beside the kid. He decided that Kaesyn would explain what exactly was going on. There were only a few possibilities as to what was going on, and Hayden didn't want to think through the five options he already had. [/style]

[kaesyn]

She was rushing. Today had run much longer than she imagined it would. When she’d gone it, it didn’t seem like that long of a day. Actually, it wasn’t supposed to be that long of a day. Kae was only supposed to have two meetings not including the one that would take place over lunch. Instead, she took a bunch of impromptu meetings. That was one of the few things she couldn’t stand about her job. When one client freaked out, they all freaked out. More than likely it was over nothing but that didn’t mean it still didn’t take Kaesyn a long time to calm them down. Other than that, her day had been a fairly easy one. If anything the hardest part would be separating herself from her son. Like most children, he didn’t like when she left. At least, that was what she liked to think. It often made her feel better about leaving. However, as long as she had a babysitter that he was used to, she was sure that he didn’t mind her absence.

”Thank you so much for coming, Kelly.” Kaesyn spit out just as she was opening the door. Kelly was one of two babysitters that Tyler would actually listen to and it was great that she could make it on such short notice after her regular sitter cancelled. Taking a few minutes to talk to Kelly and tell her what was going on, she couldn’t help but get kind of giddy. She and Hayden had shared a first date, a successful one at that. They’d spent more than enough time together to go out on a second date but Kaesyn kept stalling. She was rather good at that actually. Going on a second date meant that he would eventually get to the point where he became familiar with her home. And though he had already been there briefly before, she wasn’t all that sure she was ready to explain the two year old boy that was constantly running around. Kae didn’t even know how to begin to explain it and she wasn’t sure that she was ready to relive the days of her and Evan anyway. Not wanting to think about any of that, she left Tyler in the place where he was content and retreated to go and get ready.

This time, she wouldn’t be late. Their first date had started off kind of rocky due to the fact that Kaesyn had been running late. Not knowing what to wear was usually an issue for her, which is why she had picked an outfit out earlier. Purple was a color she couldn’t seem to go wrong in, and the fact that it was also her favorite color always seemed to help as well. Once she had showered and dried her hair, she covered her body with the dress. Almost instantly, she felt better about this date. Grabbing the list of things she would need to keep with her tonight, she made her way to the living room to wait for Hayden. This time, she told herself, she would not rush Hayden out of her house; but she would make sure to get him out before he started asking too many questions.

Walking into the living room, she could see that would be hard to do. Hayden was sitting next to Tyler, something she hadn’t planned on happening for a while. So much for having time to configure an explanation. ”There’s no way I’m late!” she exclaimed, trying so hard to hide the slightly mortified look on her face. This was not okay. Not that Hayden had done anything wrong…he’d simply come to wait inside like a normal date. He had, however, just forced her to explain her past…something she’d been working so hard to try to forget. Taking a chopped, deep breath in an attempt to compose herself, she spoke. ”Hi."

He had even considered becoming a pediatrician because of how much he loved working with toddlers. In Chantilly, he had been an ardent youth group volunteer and an instructor at kindergarten level Sunday school classes. The kid in front of him, though, was making him a bit uncomfortable. Even if he and Kaesyn knew each other on a shallow leve, he had expected her to say something about this small asset of hers. What was going on? A few options were flying. Was it her cousin? Nephew? Friend's child? Could it be her neighbor's kids? He quickly realized that these options were impossible, though, because the woman had told him that she was Kaesyn's babysitter. That left the fifth option a dead winner. It didn't upset Hayden. He didn't know what to do, but he liked kids, so he might as well play with the young boy. "It's so nice to meet you," Hayden said as the two watched TV together. "My name is Tyler," he replied with a cheeky grin. Hayden couldn't help but light up at the sight of such an innocent face that was beaming at him. "Hi Tyler," he chuckled. He kept his eyes on the boy, seeing the obvious resemblance to what Hayden was figuring was his mother. "What's your favorite show, Tyler?" he offered. The conversation shot into short answers and questions back and forth. The kid was already warming up to Hayden, but it wasn't too huge of a step. Kids who had loving parents weren't quick to attach themselves to strangers, of course, and Hayden knew that with his impressive knowledge of psychology. "Hi." He turned from the small boy to Kaesyn again. Now that he thought of it, there was no way Kaesyn was a mom. Her body was flawless under a lingerie-esque piece of silky material that highlighted her curves. Hayden's jaw dropped momentarily before he shut his mouth. "You look incredible," he almost stuttered as he stood smoothly. His actions directly contrasted his shocked reaction. She seemed just as shocked, though, and Tyler ran to her. "You look nice, mommy," he told her with a grin. "He's a real catch," Hayden grinned at his date. The babysitter stood at the door with a matching smile. In a way, Hayden felt criminal for stealing Kaesyn's time away. She could be hanging with the kid, right? Was it even her kid? Nothing else made sense to Hayden. A part of him wanted to ask, but another one wanted to keep his mouth shut. He glanced at Kaesyn, who looked as flushed as ever. It made sense to him now. Kaesyn had rushed him away from her home on their first date. Though the night had turned out to be incredible, the beginning had been... enigmatic. Without telling each other their back stories, they didn't have much to work with, and he concealed these thoughts easily, but he had to talk to her about what was happening. Did he just meet the one thing she had attempted to hide from the new guy she was dating? He felt strange, like an intruder in her home. She didn't want him to know about her little secret. It irked him a bit, but anger didn't well up to the surface. "You alright, Kae?" he asked her. "I mean, we were getting along and all," he offered. His teeth still showed. He didn't want her to think he was running the other way because she had a kid. She was a nice girl. Hayden had never dated someone with a kid before, but how bad could it be? He wasn't planning on marrying her or anything. They didn't know each other well enough for that notion. He looked down to see the flowers in his hand as he stood with the two-person family. "I got you these," he piped up, handing them to her. He turned to Kelly. "Should I put these into a vase?" he questioned. [/style]

[kaesyn]

Watching him with her child, she couldn’t help but calm down. At some point in time, Tyler had come in contact with all of her clients and he hadn’t taken as much liking to them as he’d taken to Hayden in all of minutes. Then again, Hayden Scott wasn’t her client. He was….she wasn’t sure what he was just yet. But she could tell that right now she knew that he was getting points for getting along with her son. Or maybe he was getting points because Tyler was getting along with him. Either way, this wasn’t as bad as she was making it out to be in her head. Not wanting to alarm the boy, she took a couple of deep breaths. He hadn’t done anything wrong. Neither of the males in the room had done anything wrong, she was just overreacting and freaking out.

Standing next to the babysitter, she glanced over at the woman. Kae felt as if Kelly assumed she’d done something wrong. She hadn’t. And Kaesyn made sure to give her an inclination to such. However, she wasn’t all that sure how she was going to explain this. Kae hadn’t even gotten all the details together enough to tell the father of the child. There was no way that she could explain it to Hayden. At the same time, she didn’t want his only thoughts of Tyler to be those gathered from the explanation. He wasn’t a mistake, and he wasn’t something that she was ashamed of, he was her main source of energy. He was her everything and she loved him to death. Watching him with Hayden, in all honestly, had made her day. This was the most talking that he’d done around anyone that wasn’t his mother or his babysitter. Hayden was most definitely good with kids. A natural, so to speak, and that was heightening his chances of getting to know all the angles of her.

She could feel him checking her out. Kaesyn could tell the child had thrown him off and she was slightly embarrassed. Though she wasn’t embarrassed because of what she was wearing, she was more embarrassed at the reason he was looking at her. She’d gotten the look all too many times before. He was looking to process if she actually was the mother of the little boy that was smiling brightly in her direction. Her body was far from a dead giveaway though. Kaesyn hadn’t gone out of her way to lose the baby weight but, with all the exercise she normally did, it had come off rather quickly. She looked as if she’d barely gained any weight over the last couple of years. ”Thank you.” she said flashing a genuine smile in Hayden’s direction. In that same moment, as if Hayden asked the two-year-old for some help in the compliment department, Tyler rushed over to her in full readiness of a hug. She proceeded to squat to hug him, asking if she looked nice enough to go out with his new ‘best friend’.

”He’s an absolute sweetheart.” she replied to Hayden, as Kelly followed Tyler into a different room of the house. Kaesyn smiled weakly, not sure what to say to Hayden. There wasn’t much that she had told him about her path. There wasn’t much that she knew about his past either. In Kae’s mind, that was why things had been going so well. She didn’t have anything to hold in the back of her mind just in case she wanted to run and neither did Hayden. Before tonight, they’d been running solely based on the facts that they’d shared with each other. Now, Kae feared, the explanation of the two-year-old boy would give him something to think about, as well as a solid reason to leave.

”I’m good.” she replied with another genuine smile. ”He likes you.” Kaesyn said, disappearing into the kitchen for a vase that would look nice of the table. After she’d put a bit of water into it, she returned to the living room and placed it on the table. Shortly after, she placed the flowers inside and turned to him. There wasn’t much that she could say but she had to at least attempt to tell him what was happening, even if he did already have a pretty good idea. ”These are beautiful, thanks.” Kae took a step closer to Hayden, careful not to invade his space bubble too much, ”Tyler’s the reason I left and went to New York. He’s also the reason I moved back.” she added, giving up a small piece of her past.

What else was he responsible for? This was a bit of a surprise. He felt blindsided. He knew that she had her reasons, though, and he wasn't judging. Hayden rarely judged others, mostly because he didn't feel worthy of such a luxury. He had too much in his past to look at her in a different light for hers. At least she loved Tyler. It was obvious that she was absolutely smitten with the young boy. It made Hayden happy, even if he was a little bit uncertain as to how this was going to affect what relationship they had been expecting from one another. He didn't trust her less and he certainly didn't want to stop dating her, but this was to be considered. Maybe in the future, it would matter. At the moment, it seemed like the best idea to stay calm and make sure Kaesyn knew that he wasn't running the other way. The babysitter looked a bit stressed with the situation, but Hayden tried his best to assure her that all was well. Besides being a bit shocked with the fact that a person with Kaesyn's body had produced a young boy, Hayden was just fine. "You're welcome," he replied. He kept that smile on. He was afraid that he would upset her. He was sure that she was bothered, even if she was trying to conceal her emotions. It was probably more of a surprise to her that he had met Tyler. From the looks of it, she hadn't expected Hayden and Tyler to see each other. Maybe she was just a bit embarrassed. Most single parents were. It didn't make sense to Hayden, but he certainly didn't mind. He knew that it was hard to get people to stop their judgments when they knew about the person having a child at a young age. He wasn't that guy, though, and he was still very attracted to her. Surely, the attraction was now altered, but it didn't make her look any less beautiful in that dress. "He likes me?" Hayden asked excitedly. He enjoyed children a great deal. It was no surprise that Tyler liked him, but it was definitely a good thing. He couldn't imagine how awkward the opposite scenario would be. "You don't have to explain yourself to me." Kaesyn's story was interesting, but he didn't want her to feel obligated to justify the child in the room. "I mean, he's awesome. It's not like I was going to run the other way, Kae," he told her. They had met at a beach. It wasn't like things were going to get serious. Well, he certainly hadn't considered it until now, but Kaesyn was the kind of girl he could get serious with. Either way, he wasn't leaving over some kid. He was going to stay as a friend or more. He was going with the flow, as usual. "I guess I have him to thank. I'm glad you moved back." Hayden smiled sweetly, an odd trait when it came down to him. He could be flirtatious and seductive, but he was rarely sincerely sweet. Kaesyn felt like a special girl with a special story. "Should we go? Or did you want to stay?" Hayden asked, unsure of what to do. He didn't mind Tyler's company at all. At the same time, he knew that this was probably a matter to discuss over dinner -- not with him in the room. He was being a gentleman and giving her the options, however, so he waited patiently for her to direct him. [/style]
