The Calm Before The Storm

Chapter 2~

"So what's this great news?" I ask Jason as I sip at my cappuccino.
I hadn't had enough time this morning to get any caffeine in my system.
Jason smirks at me and continues to sip his Latte.
"Jason!" I giggle and slap his arm gently.
"Okay, okay! God you're so feisty!" He giggles.
I smile and waited patiently for him to tell me.
"Okay so I recently met this guy and we were talking away and I told him about your car that I recently got repaired for you because he is a mechanic and he wanted to know what was wrong with it. Anyway I showed him a photo of the car and you were standing beside it and he's just like 'wow she's hot'! Of course I reacted because you're my sis but recently he can't stop talking about you!" He says and sips his latte.
My eyes widen.
"What?" I ask loudly.
"I know! Anyway I think it's pretty sweet so I think you should go see him," Jason smiles at me.
"Jason I don't even know the guy! And I'm too busy with the kids to focus on a guy right now," I say softly.
"But here's the thing, Ellie, he volunteers at the primary school sometimes when he's off for a day! You can just pop down and say hi. I mean he obviously doesn't have a girlfriend if he can spend that much time with kids," he says and finishes off his latte.
I think about it for a second.
"Come on Ellie just do this one thing for me!" He nags and sits up in his chair a bit.
"Okay fine but just this once!" I murmur.
"Great! Now I have to head off to work, I'm sorry. I love you bye," he says and gives me a quick hug before he leaves.
I finish my cappuccino before I head home.

The next day when school ends for the kids I head off to pick them up.
I've been thinking about meeting this guy for a while and I'm begging that he isn't some complete creep!
I pull up into the car park of the school and head up to Elise's classroom.
I start to hear a deep voice mixed together with little girls and boys giggling loudly.
I walk into the classroom and see a buff, tall man lifting kids up into the air then placing them down.
When I walk in he instantly knows who I am and blushes slightly.
A soft pink tinge comes to my cheeks and I wave at him slightly.
Elise comes stumbling up to me.
"Mummy, mummy! Look! It's Johnny! He has a prickly face!" She giggles and rubs her cheek on her shoulder in slight discomfort.
I giggle and pick her up, placing her on my waist.
Johnny walks over and I notice the stubble on his face that's been tickling my daughter.
"Hi I'm Ellie," I smile and extend my hand out to him.
He grasps it gently.
"I'm Johnny. I've heard so much about you," he smiles at me warmly.
It suddenly dawns over me that another phase of my life is about to begin.
