"Mike" I whispered. He gave me a weak smile. I could smell the alcohol off him. "Mike you have to leave, Lucy is sleeping. I don't want to see you. I told you that." I was just about to shut the door in his face when he put his foot in front of it. Fuck.

"Scarlett please." You could sense the distress in his voice, I felt bad so I closed the door quietly behind me, knowing Tony was still in the bathroom and stood with my arms crossed in front of Mike. I sighed, I can't deal with this.

"What is it Mike?" I hardly looked at him, I couldn't. The thought of why he left me just made me feel sick. And I'd just kissed his best friend. I felt like such an idiot. I don't know why I kissed Tony. I think I just needed someone...

"Scarlett, you have no right to hide my daughter from me. She's mine too. All I ask is that I see her at least half of the week and you see her half of the week. Please."

"I'm sorry Mike, I don't even know who you are anymore. You're always on tour, you're always drinking or getting high. Why the fuck would I ever trust you with my daughter for half of the week? I don't know you. I'm not letting that other slut be around my daughter either. You can see her on a Sunday, and for two hours. For the moment, that's all I'll trust you with. I'll take her to yours and pick her back up. If you're not agreeing then you won't see her at all."

He sighed, "I ended it with that 'slut' you speak of" he did air quotes when he said the word slut, "and okay I agree with that. Starting from this Sunday?" That's in 3 days. Oh fuck. Am I ready for her to go see her father? He snapped me out of my thoughts. "Helloo, Scarlet? Starting from this Sunday, right?" I nodded. "Can I come inside so you can let me know everything I need to know?"

I sighed again. "No Mike. You can't come in. How did you even find out where I lived?"

He chuckled, "I know Tony's here. I live with him now. He wrote down the adress whilst you were on the phone. And his car just happens to be in the driveway." he winked.

"It's not like that Michael and you know it."

"Can't I just come in and you can let me know everything about her?" I sighed and shook my head no. "Scarlett, please."

"No Mike! You can come over tomorrow after I've dropped her at school. It's my day off." He sighed and mumbled a small thank you and I went towards my door when Mike grabbed at my wrist. "What?"

"You look as beautiful as ever, Scar." and with that he walked away, leaving my heart racing, the butterflies in my stomach dancing and my thoughts running crazy in my head. How can one person have so much of an effect on me?

I walked into my house again with Tony no-where to be seen. I then heard little sobs coming from Lucy's room. She must have woken up without me there, oh no! I ran to her room and seen Tony cradling her and cooeing her. What a sweetheart.

"You're a life saver Tone" I whispered and went to kiss his cheek but he turned and kissed my lips. I smiled.

"Hey baby, what's wrong?" I asked Lucy as we walked to my room, Tony following closely behind. I sat down on my bed with her in my arms with Tone standing in the doorway, smiling from ear to ear. "Come sit down on the bed Tone, you can just crash here." He nodded and sat down on the bed next to me.

"Mamma I had a bad dream. It was that Daddy and that lady had me forever and you weren't allowed to see me. I didn't like that one bit, no no no. Then I woke up and you weren't in your room and Unco To came in and told me you'd be back in a minute and told me he was my unco. I like him. He nice. He not scary and he got lots of pictures on him too like you mamma."

"I tell her that I have pictures on me for my tattoos." I giggled and so did Tony.

"She's just precious."

"I know right? But baby.. Look. Daddy isn't anyone to be scared of. Honestly. I wouldn't lie to you honey, Daddy just did some bad things and I'm trying to make it okay. He wants to see you, you're his baby too. That lady won't bother us anymore either because Daddy realised she isn't nice too. So you're gonna see Daddy on Sunday for an hour or two, Uncle Tone will be there and everything will be okay. Okay?" She nodded and stopped sobbing, I rocked her until she fell asleep and put her back into her own bed. I walked into my room with Tony still smiling from ear to ear.

"You're an amazing mother, Scar. Now where were we?" he winked and grabbed me closer to him. I don't know why or what I was doing but I let it happen. I need someone here I think. I just ache to feel loved again. And Tony might just make me feel that way tonight.

I connected my lips with his, and he opened his mouth to deepen the kiss, I did the same and our tongues started to fight for dominance. I let him win. He kissed my neck and hit the spot that drives me insane, letting a quiet moan escape my lips. He hovered over me, taking off my jumper. I took off his. I slipped my slippers off and flipped us so I was straddling Tony. He bit his lip as he looked at my bare chest, now filled in with lots of tattoos. I kissed his neck and his chest, scratching down his chest as I got lower and lower to where his trousers started. I took them off slowly and seen the bulge that was growing, waiting for me in his boxers. I bit my lip. I haven't had sex in a year, and he's so big He flipped us back over to take down my shorts. He kissed from the bottom of my legs up to my thighs and teased me something awful. Eventually he went to my center where he licked and sucked on my clit, driving me crazy. He then slipped a finger inside of me and I moaned loudly. I didn't realise how turned on I was. I grabbed Tony's length and he bit back a moan, I continued to stroke it until he couldn't take anymore. He was kissing my neck whilst carressing every inch of my naked body and I was moaning. This is exactly what I needed. He positioned himself between my legs and thrust into me. I'd be lying if I said I didn't take a minute to get used to him. I nodded for him to move and with every thrust I gasped. We were both moaning and he got faster the louder I got. "Faster Tony" I whimpered beneath him. He did as I asked and soon I was reaching my climax. He kissed me as I came and moaned in his mouth. He smirked in the kiss as he thrust a few more times and came. We pulled the covers over us and I fell asleep in his arms with a smile on my face.

I woke up the next morning to no one sleeping soundly beside me, his clothes were gone. I pulled on an old baggy hoody and underwear and went to the livingroom. There lay a note, from Tony.

"Scar, I'm sorry. I had to leave before Mike realised I had spent the night here. We need to talk about this though. I'll come over when Mike has Lucy on Sunday. Love, Tone x"

I shrugged it off. To be honest I was pretty glad. I didn't know what I'd say to him if he was still here, it could either be really awkward or be okay. I didn't quite know what to make of it. Was it a mistake? Do I like him? Do I love Mike still? What do I want? Ugh! Why can't things be simple?
