Author Note: So this will be before the plane crash
Mariel POV:
Me: Now Mr.....Nuisaki on the record it's stated that you have a drink problem and that there are multiple reports that your neighbors have called the police on you.
Mr. Nuisaki: No that's all lies
Jr.Nuisaki: Dad shut up you're such in denial right now. Don't you ever wonder why I always invite mom and not you. Because you always have outburst.
Me: Mr.Nuisaki is that true
Mr.Nuisaki: no.....no....ye
Mrs.N: Why must we do this. If only you can have control.
(Awkward silence)
Me: Well that concludes our time for today. We made great progress today.

Oh how they're gonna get a divorce either way.
Work has its moments of being either hard or really easy. Some patients just drive me nuts.
Well time to go home and see my lovely family.
As I step down from my office one of my patients come up to me.
???: Thank you for all your help.
Me: Oh it's no problem just doing my job.
???: here's a cake we bake for you. It's chocolate.
Me: oh how sweet of you.
???: Well we best be going.
I get to my car and start driving home. I don't like really listening to the radio. So I just drive home in quietness. Just hearing the other cars and my own. I arrive home. To my humble Suburban Home. Two floor brick house. I open the door and find my two puppies running towards me. I hear my boys yell out for me.
Boys: Hi mom
Me: Hi boys.
I get to the kitchen and the first thing I see are lovely flowers on the kitchen table. Roses as red as they can be.
I see a note
From your lovely Husband Nathan xoxoxo
Awww how sweet of him. I turn around to see a sink full of dishes
Me: XANDER ORTIZ TSUI GET YOUR LITTLE BOOTY DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!
Xander: What did I do?
Me: Why don't you look.
Xander:oh....
Me: Boy you better get started.

Me:Frenny Derek Sandy Ortiz Tsui.
Frenzy:ye
Me: It's yes Mom and did you clean your room
Frenzy: I was waiting for you to help me
Me: Boy you are 10 years old you can do it yourself.
Sometimes I'm like a drill sergeant in this damn house.
Me: Lorenzo
Lorenzo: Que tal madre.
Me: Hicistes tu tarea
Lorenzo: Sí mama
Me: Very good.
I hear footsteps behind me and I feel arms wrap around me.
Nathan: Hello my lovely wife of mine
Me: Why hello to you too. What's with the flowers, what'd you do.
Nathan: What I can't just buy my lovely wife some nice flowers just for the heck of it.
Me: mmmhhhmmm
Nathan: Well then
Me: Hey I'm just joking, come here
I gave him a big kiss
Lorenzo: ew mom
Me: shush child
Oh how I love my husband so much. We met in College. I was walking you know, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. So I accidentally bumped into my so to be husband.
Flashback
Me: oh my god I'm so sorry I didn't mean t......
I paused. I froze better yet. Because when I looked up I couldn't believe what I was staring at. It was like I was staring at an angel. His eyes and his face. His hair. Ugh.
Nathan: it's ok we all make mistakes.
Me: hi.....I'm....Mariel
Nathan: Why hello there Mariel
* Bell rings
Nathan: Better be going. It was nice meeting you. Your very beautiful I might add.
He walk off...
All through class I couldn't stop thinking of him. My heart. He's just indescribable.
I run to my dorm.
Me: MAGGIE

Maggie: yes Mariel
Me: I just saw a hot guy and he talked to me
Maggie: And
Me: He called me beautiful but not just in a regular way. Like in the way he might be interested me
Maggie drops her pencil.
Me:Yes

Me: no
Maggie: email
Me: No
Maggie: Did you get anything!?
Me: No
Maggie: Mariel what the fuck
Me: I was lost in his dreamy eyes ok
Maggie: You better hope you see him again
That night I couldn't stop but thinking about him.
In the morning I got ready for my class. Advance Psychology Fundamentals of the Brain.
I walk in. I sit in the back . Where really there's a couple seats empty by me.
Professor: Alright class we have a transfer from the regular Psychology class. Class I would like you to welcome Nathan Shou. Mr.Shou you can go sit by Miss. Ortiz
Fuck me. Why me.
He comes up by me and takes a seat.
Professor: Alright class today we will continue from yesterday......(continues talking about things nobody gets and will have to google later)
Nathan(whispers) I'm so sorry but can I borrow a pencil.
Me: of course here you go
Soon days passed. We talked more and more.
Day: 24 he ask me if I wanna hangout.
Of course I said yes. I got to know him more. He's funny and kind. Plus he's such a gentleman.
But on one certain day he ask me a question.
Me: Maggie stop what you're doing now!!!!
Maggie: what is it this time?

Saturday ( The first date)
I'm nervous my god I'm nervous alright alright. I walk out the door and see Nathan outside his car waiting for me.
Nathan: You look.....beautiful
Me: you look beat....I mean handsome.
Care to come in my lady
Me: Where we going
Nathan: To a park
We get to the park. He opens his trunk and pulls out a blanket. He goes to a back seat and gets out a basket. We walk up on a hill and he lays out the blanket and he lays down the basket.
We sat down and keep in mind it's sunset time. So I see a bright orange sky in California.
Nathan: you know I had to go through a lot of people to figure out who you are.
Me: oh really.
Nathan: I'm not that smart as you are. I struggled a lot in that class....
Me: awww
Nathan: Did I ever tell you how gorgeous you are
He starts to lean in. So do I
Then I didn't think of anything. All I could think about is our first kiss.
*Present time
Xander: Mommy are you ok.
I didn't realize I was crying.
Me: Oh yeah I'm fine you know. onion cry.
Xander: Ok can you help me with my school stuff.
