-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/center]

Rain was falling down outside as Delilah Homequest walked through her small apartment. That morning she was on a mission, the mission was to clean the apartment and her first stop was her son’s room. Anders was her son and being a five year old boy cleanliness was not even in his vocabulary. Delilah walked into her sons’ room and immediately stepped on several toys. Rolling her eyes she quickly scanned the room looking for her son but he was no where to be found. Delilah picked up a few things in front of her and then put them in there correct places. She continued to place things away where they belong when she spotted something nasty looking poking out from underneath Anders bed. Delilah took a good look at it and had absolutely no idea what it was so she bend down and picked it up. Bringing a foreign object to her nose she took a whiff of it and squinted her nose. "What the hell is this?" she asked herself as she held it out in front of her and left his room to throw the foreign object away. Before she left she turned around to look at the clean room and took a good mental picture because she knew later on the room would look just as it did before.

Delilah took very good care of her son and his things but he was a boy and always being messy so as many times as she cleaned his room it was never really clean for long. Just as Delilah walked into the kitchen to throw the nasty things she found on Anders floor he flew out of no where and collided with his mother. Hitting her leg he began jumping up and door saying words to fast to understand. "Wait buddy slow down" she told her son as he did slow down. Anders began to tell his mother that they needed to leave in order for him to make it to his swimming lessons in time. A small smile came onto Delilah face as she told him to go get his bathing suit and jacket and put his shoes on. Before Delilah could even finish saying anything Anders was in his room looking for his things he needed. As he went to get ready for them to depart Delilah went to her purse to make sure she had everything. Once she checked everything she turned around and there was her five year old son standing there all ready. "Alright lets go my little fish" she said with a smile as she swung open the door and Anders went running out of the apartment and over to the elevator. The mother and son took the elevator down four stories and went out to the car. Anders ran fast to try to avoid getting too wet from the rain and Delilah ran close behind him. After Delilah placed Anders into his car seat she got into the drivers seat and began to drive to the community center where Anders swimming lessons were.

Delilah hated the rain and she hated driving so the combination of the two just mad Delilah very angry. She was nervous about driving and now with the rain she was very cautious and driving at a very slow speed. Anders was relatively quiet in the back but only because Delilah had his music playing for him. After fighting the rain and bad traveling conditions they arrived at the center. Anders was so anxious to get out of the car and as soon as Delilah parked the car and went around back to unbuckle him he jumped out of the car and ran to the door, spotting a friend from his swim class. “Anders wait up! " Delilah shouted after him as she walked briskly after him. The rain was dying down and the sun was coming out which was a good thing, making Delilah think that today was going to be a good day. The five year old anxious jumped up and down and waited by his mothers side as she signed him into the class and then walked him to his instructor. Anders instructor was a young guy, eighteen maybe even nineteen years old and seemed like a nice guy. Delilah had known him for a couple of years now he and he was a good guy. Anders ran over to his group of friends, tossing his backpack onto a lounge chair as he stripped down to his bathing suit. Delilah watched as her and Anders instructor Anthony began to talk. It was a simple conversation, not much about anything and it ended in a few moments. Delilah waved to Anders and Anthony assured her he would be safe. She simply nodded and then walked back into the lobby of the community center.


Taking a deep breathe Delilah walked across the lobby and into the gym area. She didn’t want to leave the center with Anders along. Okay so he wasn’t alone but Delilah was protective over him and didn’t want to leave him alone for a long time. So instead of going home she went into the gym, she had a pair of shorts and a tank top in her purse so all was good and she was ready to go hit the gym. After changing and putting her purse in a locker Delilah went out into the gym. As she made her way to the treadmill section with just her phone and a water in her hand she passed a tall man. She walked past him and them took a second glance as he looked wicked familiar. But Delilah didn’t want to bother him in his work out so she just ignored it. In this town Delilah knew a lot of people, because it was such a small town so whoever the guy was she was bound to see him again later and figure out his true identity. As Delilah started up the treadmill her attention drifted over to the familiar figure but she couldn’t figure out who the heck he was. So Delilah just continued to run on the treadmill but every few minutes she would glance over at the man working out trying to get a glimpse of his face.

[SHELTON PRESTON WALLISON]

a littling gambling is fun when you're with me


----------------------------------------------------

it was a rainy day, and as much as shelton hated being back in the town he knew what he had to do. he wanted to get back in shape to go back to the nba knowing that's where he wanted to be. his high school days were over and well being thrown through a window wasn't all fun and games for him. he was still young but wasn't ready for quitting. he knew he was still aware of what went on at home thanks to his mother pesturing him. she didn't know he was back and he wanted to keep it that way mainly because of delilah. he knew his feelings for her were still the same but he doubt she would want to see him now that he left for his career. he wasn't even back to regain there love but rather to gain his ability to play basketball and then go back. he didn't want to ruin anything else and figured his son was better off without him.

it wasn't that shelton didn't like kids but he wasn't ready to be a father yet, and none the less he didn't just want to all of a sudden jump back into his son's life. he knew his father was like that to a point but tried to make it up to him as his potentional for the nba increased it seemed. shelton didn't want to see through his father's bull shit even though his mother tried so many times to make it clear that it was all a lie. shelton saw of his mistake now and didn't want to do that to his son knowing he could barely contain his emotions. delilah was there for him but he didn't want her to be. he just wanted to drink his problems away but she wouldn't let him, and he loved her for that. it was so hard for him not to love her or miss her that it made him sick to his stomach when he was kissing another girl or even trying to show off a girl as his date.

shelton tried to date people to get his mind off the girl but couldn't get anything she did out of her mind. he loved everything about her and hated not being able to hold her at night like he used it. he knew there relationship wasn't all about sex, and that was something he learned early on when he first began dating her and he tried to. he decided in high school a relationship with this girl might be a nice change for him and he was right. but he surely wasn't expecting to be a father at twenty one, a basketball player, and still be madly in love with the girl from the past who you broke. he knew it wasn't for women to handle rejection but his plan wasn't to seriously hurt her and he wanted her to know that he didn't want it to be that way. he knew he told her all these things but none ever happened which made him look pretty much like an ass.

he hated how things were for his love life but it was just something he was going to have to come to face with. he enjoyed it at times just because he didn't have to say 'i love you' and have a chance of breaking someone's heart once again. shelton at the moment was living in his old house knowing his mother had sold it, but he bought it from the owners knowing the price wasn't cheap but he enjoyed the memories it brought back. it was good times for him and he wouldn't have gotten rid of any of them for the world. no matter how heartless they made him feel. he moved down the white carpet stairs reaching the living room before turning off the television that had been running since he woke up. he grabbed his gym bag that was next to the door before heading to his car and driving to the center. he loved working out there even when he was younger you usually could find him there or at delilah's house. his parents would become angry to see there son at her house but it seemed she did in fact bring out the best of him.

parking in the lot he got his bag and walked into the center before changing in the men's bathroom and then threw his bag into a locker before placing his ipod into his pocket and closing his locker. he moved to the weight lifting section of the gym before placing his headphones into he ears and playing a song that made him pumped. he gripped the bar before picking it up and pushing it up and down over his torse before he saw a blond boy standing over him. he let the bar rest on the chest before placing the bar in it's place, and reaching into his pocket and pausing the music blaring through his ears. he pulled out the music and looked at the boy. he touched shelton's face lightly and a little boy slightly taller then him came around behind him and looked at him. both in bathingsuits. "you're wallison aren't you?" the little boy in front asked as he looked at shelton with widen eyes.

shelton nodded his head before smiling and standing to his full stature. he never noticed the woman running on the thread mill across the gym. he didn't say anything but looked at the boy and saw the similarities in his face, looking at the boy he smiled lightly. "so can you tell me you're name?" they both nodded and the boy in the back look up to the man, " Quiten Fredrick Marolov" the blond boy was the next to speak and spoke softly looking at the woman on the tread mill also. "Andrew Ian Homequest." shelton's heart raced as he finally made the connect, this was in fact his son standing in front of him and well he didn't have any clue who he was. why was he here and not with his mother? looking at the boy shelton laughed lightly, "nice to meet you gentlemen, now can i escort you to you're mother now?" they both shook there heads no and shelton looked at them before seeing there eyes move to the basketball hoop.


"we want you to play, you're the best and please." both began to puff out there eyes and lips trying to win him with the puppy dog face. shelton had to admit it was working very well no matter how much if gut was telling him just to tell delilah he knew it all. turning around shelton moved to the basketball hoop before picking up a ball and bouncing it, and then running to the hoop and dunking it. watching the boy's eyes lighten up he saw anders look around and his face to become worried and both boys raced behind shelton. looking behind him he tried to see what was going on but saw the one girl that made him want to hide also coming near. "i wanna hide too."
