It Starts With Us

Lily

I needed a moment, I just got proposed. By a person I love. I was crying, I don't know for what reason, but the terars were flowing heavily.
Splashing water on my face and wiping it. I hear a person getting in, turning back, he is a guy.
"You ok?" The guy asks.
"Yeah" I make a exit. When he says
"Excuse me, are you Lily?"
How does he know my name? Maybe he had visited my cafe.
"Yes, but I sorry do we know eachother?"
"Lily" the person has teary eyes. "It's me Atlas"
"At... Atlas!" We are standing still. I feel something in my stomach.
My whole world is shrinking. I have a feeling of dizziness.

"Atlas. You visited my flower shop?" I manage to speak in between tears.
"Is that your shop?"
"Yes, I own a cafe and that" I can't control I go and hug him. God this feels soothing. Crying in his arms.
Him patting my head.
"Atlas I... I've missed you so much, our daught..."
"Lily, I saw you the other day, but you were with someone so I didn't approach. You had a little kid with you."
Its our child. Say this lily. Say this.
"That's our daughter" I am able to say and I cry. These tears are all from the day he left me. The pain I went through.
"Wh...what?" He breaks the hug
"Yes, the day you left, after few weeks I got to know that I was expecting our child, it was the most difficult time for me"
I tell him everything for 5 minutes. We are crying crying crying.
He leans closer to me, his lips meet mine this was one of the things I missed.
The kiss is about love.
We are about to break it when Ryle enters the room.
I look at Ryle. Atlas looks at me.

The guy who just proposed me and my life are standing still. It feels like I was swimming and a sea - wind hit my stream.
I am drowning.
