I go downstairs. It's 2:00 A.M. In the morning. I write a note for Isabelle that says I'll be back later and that I just need to clear something's up. I get in my car and pull out of the drive way. I don't know where I'm going but I just keep driving. I turn on the radio and the song All The Pretty Girls by FUN. came on and it made smile a bit. I drive down the freeway. I drive to the downtown area and pull up in a parking lot and fall asleep in my car to the radio. When I wake up I look at the clock and it says 11:37 A.M. and I decide to have some brunch. I get out of the car and walk around a bit trying to find a place to eat. I find a small dinner near the center of town. I walk in and sit down at a table and wait for a waiter to come by. I wait for about a minute before a waiter comes up and say "what can I get you to drink today?" I look at her and say "lemonade please." and she leaves to go get it. There is barely anyone here. About two minutes later the waiter comes back with my lemonade. I take a sip. It's perfect. She looks at me and asked "what'll we have today?" I look at her and say " I'll have the toast and bacon sandwich with the eggs on the side. Oh and can I have the eggs over-easy?" She says "yes you can and that will be right out." when it comes out i eat it pretty fast because I'm starving. I pay for the meal and leave and walk around town for a bit before I realize I need a hair cut. I go into an old fashioned barber shop and sit down to wait. the people getting there hair cuts are all old people. The barbers are middle aged. When it's my turn I sit down in the chair and get a hair cut that just looks good. I get it cut really short on the sides and back but I don't trim anything off the top. while I'm there I get a quick shave as well. I'm walking around town when I see a group of younger girls playing by a fountain. I don't see their parents around but I feel like it's ok. I walk up to then and crouch down in front of them and say "hello. do any of you know how to do a ponytail?" After I say that I see their faces light up and they all nod. I show them where I want the ponytail (which is in the back where I kept the long hair.). As they're doing the ponytail I'm sitting there and the little girls mothers come back and see they're little girls doing some guys hair in a ponytail and they just laugh. I introduce myself and they say it's ok if I play with them. It starts to get a little hot so I take of my leather jacket to show my tucked in black shirt (which is tucked into my belted jeans.). We start playing tag and I have one on my shoulders and one in my arms as I see a car pull up that I recognize. It's Isabelle's. She pulls up and sees me and giggles a bit. She parks her car next to mine and comes over to me and takes the girl I have in my arms and holds her like a mother would do and I just stare at her for a while. she looks back up at me and smiles softly. It's starting to get dark and the kids have to go. We wave good bye and then sit on the bench. The sun starts to set in a beautiful red-orange. She leans her head on my shoulder and I run my hand through her nice soft hair. We watch the sunset together. Once it starts getting dark we head back home and go up to my room to go to bed. Once we get in bed she snuggles up next to me and says "I can't wait to have kids." I kiss her forehead and say "me either."
