Memories

Isabella's POV

I just got in for my shift at the coffee shop as I quickly tied on my apron. I work here Monday through Friday from 7-3 and on Wednesdays I do extra hours. We need the money, we live basically from paycheck to paycheck.

"Hello love." James smirked hugging from behind. "Ready for tonight?"

I smiled warmly at my boyfriend. We have been together for 3 months and tonight was our anniversary!

"It'll be something to remember." He whispered before backing off "I'll pick you up at 8."

I nodded as I saw a man standing in the rain. He looked lost.  I opened the door as he turned to face me, shock written all over his face. I couldn't help but star in amazement He was handsome, but I wasn't going to flirt.

"Uh sir you look lost, do you wanna come in?" I asked nervously.

"That would be great thank you." He nodded gratefully. He sat down at a table as he shot glances my way in disbelief.

"Do I know you?" I asked getting nervous uncomfortable with the stares

"Uh you look like a familiar face." He spoke quickly.

"Oh, well sorry. Do you want anything to drink or eat?" I asked as he nodded eagerly. I got him a few bagels and some coffee and brought it to him where he ate hungrily.

"Thank you."

"No need. It's on us." I smiled as I went to other customers.

Finally it was the end of the day as I closed up the shop and the man still sat there looking at the rain.

"Uh sir do you have a place to stay?" I asked. Wait why was I offering?? He was a complete stranger!

He looked down embarrassed as I continued to ramble.

"You can stay with me if you want."

"I couldn't- you've been so kind.." He trailed.

"Seriously. It's no trouble. " I waved. What are you doing Isabella???

"Alright then." He smiled happily.

"First we need to pick up my son from daycare."

"Oh? What's his name?"

"Allistair." I stated as the mans eyes widened. "But I don't know your name?"

"Oh I'm sorry. I'm Caspian." He held out his hand to shake as I took it. But instead of shaking he kissed it.

A bit weird, but maybe he was just grateful.

"You are?"

"Isabella." I couldn't help but smile.  "Shall we?"

He nodded as we walked towards my sons daycare.

Caspians POV

"Mommy!" A little boy with dark curly hair and blue eyes ran to my wife and hugged her tightly.

"Hi! How was your day!" She grinned.

"Great! Who's that?" Allistair pointed as I moved forward.

"This a friend of mine, Caspian. He's gonna be our house buddy for a while."

Ouch. I got friend zoned. But eh she can't remember.

"Is he your new boyfriend?" Allistair asked as Isabella laughed awkwardly

"Nope just a friend."

Boyfriend????

I had to get rid of him at once. I can only hope I can jog her memories quickly.
