Chapter 7

  Donovan was a bit forgetful these past few days. He was not meaning to. Just the days ran into each other. He was trying to keep it all straight.

His old friend Quinn Masters came in town from Paris to see him. She hardly had time for him. She came around once a year when she was not busy modeling off for some country some place. He forgot he had gotten her email that she was coming to spend the weekend with him.

"Mr. Spencer" he hears her say in his office one day. He looks up to see one of his many girls. Quinn Masters.

A plastered red smile was spread on her face. She walks in his office. Sets on his desk.

"Hi there handsome" she says to him as she pulls at his neck tie.

"Hi there Quinn" he says smiling. She was pretty. But she was not as pretty as Sawyer. What was wrong with him? The past few days he had his mind on Sawyer. And the fact he had such a strong urge to kiss her.

"So what are we going to do for fun tonight?" she wonders.

"Fun? How about dinner at my place?" he offers. He could not go out. He had a child.

"A night at your place? You are kidding me right? You had plans made for us?" she laughs as she looks at him. She tosses her blond curls past her cheek.

"I am sorry. Shit. Truthfully I forgot" he sighs.

"How could you forget Quinn Masters was going to be in town?" she grumbles not looking pleased with him. He did not blame her.

"I have a son. My time has been limited these days" he begins to tell her. She sits there looking shocked by his announcements.

Then she laughs.

"You have a son? Donovan Spencer has as son? A kid? You have GOT to be kidding me! Right?" she laughs as she shakes her head.

"I am serious. His name is Evan Spencer. He was a result of one of my many one night stands" he begins to tell her as he shows off a photo of his son to her. She looks down at the photo.

"You really are not kidding are you?" she mumbles in shock.

"I am serious. I have a son" he mentions.

"So get a nanny. We can have dinner at your place. I am not too picky as long as the food is good. And the company keeps me warm at night" replies Quinn.

"Alright. I will call my nanny and make the arrangements'. Meet back at my place around eight" he tells her.

"See you then cutie" says Quinn. She leans in and kisses him before she walks out of the office. He sighs. He forgot all about Quinn coming. This was really not like him at all. He grabs his cell phone to call Sawyer.

"Hello Donovan" Sawyer answers.

"Hi there" he begins.

"How can I help you?" she asks.

"I have some late late meetings. And a big dinner party coming up here tonight I forgot about. Can you possibly keep Evan over at your place for the night? I would pay you well for it" he begins to say.

"Can I? Sure! That would be fine! I love Evan. I would be happy to help" offers Sawyer.

Why was he having a hard time telling Sawyer the truth about this meeting? That he was really meeting Quinn to have a sexy fun night? Why did he not want Sawyer to know?

"Great! You are a life saver" he sighs.

"I need to do a few things at home. Mind if I take the kids to my place now?" she wonders.

"That would be great! Thanks so much for this. You are great" he tells her happily.

"Call me when you want me to bring Evan back home" she replies.

"I will! I will call to check up on him to" he promises.

"Sounds good. Have a good night" Sawyer replies before they hang up.

He sighs as he runs his fingers in his hair. He had the night off. A night of fun. Why did it feel so wrong to him? Why did he feel like he was cheating on Sawyer? They were not even going out. He shook off his feelings. He grabs his phone to call Quinn.

"Hello?" answers Quinn.

"It is all set. The sitter is taking my son home with her tonight" he replies.

"Great! See you tonight sexy" she says sounding happy.

"See you then" he replies.

After he was done at work he stopped by the grocery store to buy things to make a special dinner for Quinn. He could not help wonder what it would be like to be on a date with Sawyer. He bet she would not mind a romantic dinner at home. He bet she did not demand to be taken out to a fancy place each date.

He shakes his thoughts free of Sawyer as he picks out things he thinks would appeal to Quinn for dinner. Then he went and checked out when he was done picking things out. He rushed home. Got in the shower. He was ready for this date. He placed his food in the oven. Later he burned it much to his dismay. He was never one for cooking.

"Great" sighs Donovan. He notices a note on the fridge. With Sawyer's hand writing.

"There is dinner in the pan. Place it in the oven at 350 degrees for an hour. You have dinner! Enjoy!" it read on the note. Sawyer had made him a dinner!

What a god send! He smiled as he checked out what she had made him. It was something good. Some kind of lemon chicken. He placed it in the oven once the oven was ready. He made a salad to go with it. He turned on the music. Norton began to whine to be taken out. He let Norton out in the back yard.

Soon the doorbell rings just as the oven beeps. Dinner was done. His date was here! He walked over to the oven. Took out the dinner. Then went to the door. Norton had beat him there. He began to growl at the door.

"Norton behave will you" snaps Donovan. He pulls back Norton. He opens the door letting Quinn on in.

"Hi there sexy...oh that thing. I forgot you had that. Could you not get a sitter for that thing to?" wonders Quinn as she looks down at Norton with dismay.

"Sorry no" laughs Donovan. He places Norton in the guest room. And shuts the door.

"What smells good in here?" Quinn asks him as they make their way in the kitchen.

"Dinner!" he replies to her. He pours her some of his finest wine in a glass.

"Thank you" Quinn replies as she sips her drink. "The place still looks the same" she says taking a look around.

"Ready for dinner?" he asks her.

"Famished" she agrees. He leads her over to the table. Pulling out the chair for her to sit at. Then he brings the food over. He helps get her a plate of dinner.

"This is so good" she brags on him while they begin dinner.

"Mmm sure is wonderful isn't it?" he agrees feeling guilty for lying and saying he made the dinner.

"You are such the little home body" she giggles. He grins. The night was going well so far. After dinner soft music played over head. He pulls Quinn in his embrace.

"Care for a dance?" he asks her. She grins. She wraps her arms around his neck.

"Sounds good to me" she replies. They slow dance in each other's arms. He grins as he has a bit of fun grinding against her body.

"I am so happy to see you again. Remeber that hot night we shared back in 2012?" she reminds him as she runs her fingers in his hair.

"That was when I met you in Paris. I remember that night" he says softly. She leans in and kisses him. His lips return her kisses. Same. Nothing changed. No passion was there. Pure lust.

Squeak.

"Sorry. I forgot Evans blanket. He would not sleep without it. I will be right out of your hair" stammers a stunned Sawyer who was in the living room now. She had stopped back by the house. A hurt look crossed her face. She went to run out.

"Sawyer wait!" he calls out. It was too late. She was gone. What a mess he made of things.

"Who was that?" asks Quinn.

"That was my nanny" he sighs.
