A second chance 2

A year had passed, a year ago your husband died. No was murdered. But you did as he said in his dying breath. You didn't greave, you did travel with your daughter and do those things you had planned.

Sophia loved it as much as she missed her daddy but she had a new man in her life to look up to and so did you. She was tired from a day at the zoo, a treat for doing so well at school. You sprawled out on the sofa, who knew traveling was so tiring. "Out like a light" John smiled walking back into the room rolling his shirt sleeves up.

The relationship you had with John was a little strange. You see you weren't together and despite you calling for a booty call, you never slept with him, only that one kiss you shared. You held his hand as he sat on the tiny space you left on the sofa, his hip touching yours. He made a promise that day to look after you and your daughter, he was keeping it.

His thumb running over your knuckles "She really loves her uncle John" you spoke trying to hide a yawn with words, you went quite thirty yet and you were acting like an old woman. "Good thing I love her mother too" john mumbled to himself, well he thought to himself. you see with a child making noise in the background your home is pretty quiet. "W-what?" you stuttered.

eyes wide like a deer in headlights, oh bollocks did he just say that out loud? "It's getting late Luv" John explained placing a kiss on your forehead, trying to distract you. he got up and made his way to the door of the spare room he used from time to time. "You know I think I'm ready to start dating again" you stated from the sofa.

John couldn't contain his smile, yes he made a promise but the day you phoned him for a booty call, man was he falling, and falling hard. "I've been waiting for you to say that for a very long time, you deserve to be happy, we both do" he expressed turning to face you with a huge grin on his face. As fast as he was falling this was all on your terms. "John I, I've already met someone" you confessed.

His heart sank, he didn't even realize you'd been talking to someone else. John guessed it was someone from work or a single dad from Sophia's school "Oh, right" he muttered, the gin falling from his face in an instant. you walked over to him, your eyes fixed on the ground "He's kind, caring, funny and if he doesn't kiss me in the next thirty seconds, I'm kicking him out" you declared, a smile on your face as you tried to keep a perfect poker face.

The man in question was John, it was him you wanted to start dating. The man whose shoulder you have cried on multiple times, has been there for you every step of the way and who treats your daughter as his own. "You're a cheeky mare" john chuckled pulling you into a kiss.
