As I drove us to the nearest park, my phone started ringing. I internally groaned as I saw the name calling 'Work', it was Lea's phone from work "Hello?" I said with a thick British accent

"Y/N, Frank is here."

"Frank?"

"Yes, Frank. 56."

"Mr. Graham?" I asked and she hummed "What is he doing here? He's from London, why would he come to New York?"

"He said it was important. He's right here infront of my desk, I told him that you would come and talk to him tomorrow, but he insisted." She explained

"Of course he did." I mumbled to myself. I closed my eyes when we were on a red light "Lea, I'm near Isabelle's," I said "It is way too far from work."

"I understand, I can tell him again that you'll be he-" She started but I interrupted

"Don't." I said "He will insist even more. Tell him I'm on my way, but I will take a little while." I said. The light changed to green and I could hear Lea explaining the situation to Mr. Graham and I could hear his voice in the background saying that he would wait

"He said it was okay." Lea said "I guess we'll wait for you."

I sighed "Yes, Lea, I'm on my way."

"Sorry for interrupting your time with your lover." She apologized

"She's not my lover." I chuckled a little bit "I'm driving so I'll hang up, see you in a bit."

"Alright, bye."

I hung up and looked back at Lizzie who was already looking at me with an expression I couldn't read, her cheeks turned a shade of pink when she noticed I caught her looking "Lizzie, I'm sorry but I need to head back to my office."

Her face fell a little bit "Oh, it's okay, don't worry."

"I'll take you to my office with me." I said and I looked back at the road "I can't leave you alone in the park, and I think I don't have the time to take you home. Once I'm done we can continue our da- lunch." I quickly, and dumbly, corrected myself "It turned out that one of my pacients from London came here to meet me."

I could see Lizzie smiling "Okay." She said softly "Can I ask you some questions? I want to get to know you more." She said and I nodded "You don't need to answer them if you don't want to, okay?" I nodded again for her to continue "Have you had a girlfriend?"

I widened my eyes a little bit. Already going to the love life questions, even worse, the sexuality questions. Not that I'm afraid nor embarrased of my sexuality, the problem is that I haven't labed myself  "Yes, I have." I said and she nodded for me to elaborate my answer  "When I was 20 I had a girlfriend, her name was Becca, she was from London. We dated for two years but we decided to break up when I came to New York." I said "She still had a crush on me but I got a job and I really ignored her, she would call me saying how much she missed me, she was a little possesive, she thought I was her property. So one day I just changed my phone number, I needed to change my address and I closed my social media."

Lizzie lifted her eyebrows in surprise "Wow, she was a stalker?"

"You could say that." I said "She even got Tom's number, and don't ask me how because I don't know."

"That's just creepy." Lizzie stated and I nodded "Okay, let's change this. How about I ask you a question and then you ask me one." She said and I nodded "Okay, since I already asked you one, you can ask one."
