Isabel

2. Airport

First Class or economy were the same, the journey was hectic, either ways. I just wanted to live normally for the next month. I could have brought my jet but no I wanted to live like the normal boy I was when I turned eighteen. The time when I was in college. The time I had met Ryan.

The one that didn't have schedules, went to have drinks with Ryan, flirted and easily got away with so many things. Including smoking pot in Ryan's grandmother's bathroom. May her soul rest in piece. She literally closed both of us in hell.

The memory made me laugh. How time flew. So many years, the last time, I saw Ryan and Daniela, was on their wedding day. After that we only spoke on occasions. My days started becoming busy. Till we no longer spoke until last month.

As I looked around the number of people scattered around the airport, I was so sure I wasn't going to find Ryan, any time soon.

I took three steps forward ,suddenly a body crashed into me.

"Oh, God, I'm so sorry I bumped into you, accept my apology, " her voice. It was so smooth and it put me in a trance. She picked two papers and clutched them to her chest, tightly.

"It's alright, darling, no need to apologize, " she lifted her head and then it felt as if the universe was paused. Her dark round eyes , plump lips, her Afro textured hair up in a bun and a few curly strands down her cute face.

She was so beautiful.

" I--- I, " she blushed, red tainting her caramel skin.

"Archer!, " my head shot up in the direction of my friend. Well, my friend and I were lucky with the genes of not looking our age. His black hair had streaks of white in them and his dark eyes boring into mine.

"Ryan," a smile on my lips as he crashed me a hug.

"I can't breath old man!," I groaned. He only squeezed me harder. In the corner I saw the beautiful blonde my best friend was obsessed with.

"Daniela, " I hugged her and pecked her cheeks.

"Archer, it's good to see you once again, " she smiled. Daniela was beautiful. Her dark eyes were the first thing that caught Ryan's attention. It was unique in its own way.

The girl I bumped into.

I turned sharply to find the spot she stood, occupied by Ryan.

"I think you've already met Isabel, our daughter, " Daniela introduced. I turned to her direction and found the girl from earlier in her arms.

"I'm sorry once again, Mr Pierce ," she smiled shyly. The surprise still evident in her voice. She had no idea either.

"Man, how come I never met her?, " I asked. He never talked about her.

"We lost contact, right when she was born, " Ryan sent me an apologetic smile.

"Oh right, man my muscles ache like hell, " I whined causing Ryan and Daniela to burst into laughter.

I locked gaze with her. She was so innocent. Every single thing on her body was so innocent. So pure and simple.

Not like anyone, I've met in life.
