That night at the dinner with Amira we exchanged childhood stories, and talked about our plans for the future. And when I was with her I didn't think about football or anyone else, just her. She made me feel like we were the only two in the room I thought as I rolled over in bed. We left the restaurant pretty late last night and Amira had a few cups of wine so, I drove her to my place where she slept in one of guest bedrooms. I walked down the hall and knocked gently on the door as not to scary her if she was still asleep. "Come in." She said and I opened the door to see her putting her shoes on. "Leaving so soon?" I asked her as I sat on the edge of the bed. "Yeah, thanks for last night." She said heading for the door but I grabbed her by the wrist to stop her. "Wait, at least let me cook you breakfast first." I said standing with her. "Sure." She said and I followed her downstairs just as the doorbell ring. "That's weird I'm not expecting anyone." I said as Amira went to the kitchen while I went to answer the door. It was Chanel with Rose. "Surprise, Gareth I thought it'd be nice to bring Rose as a surprise after your win last night." She said barging in. "Yes, this is a lovely surprise." I said taking Rose out of Chanel's arms. "I can tell she really missed you." She added taking off her coat like she meant to stay. "I really missed her too." I said kissing Rose on the cheek. "Your cooking something smells good." Chanel said making her way to the kitchen. "No, wait." I said trying to stop her but it was too late. I walked in the kitchen behind her to see Amira and her both looking surprised to see one another. "Uh, Amira this is Chanel; Chanel this Is Amira." I said awkwardly. "Maybe I should of called first." Chanel said "maybe I should go." Amira added. "It's ok, I'm flying back to Madrid on Monday you can keep Rose until then." Chanel said walking out the kitchen and then I heard the front door close. "Well, that was kinda awkward." I said laughing walking over to Amira still holding Rose. "That's an understatement." She said as she began to play with Rose's feet who seemed to like that very much. "She's even more adorn able in person." She added. "Listen, can you watch Rose while I finish cooking us up something really quick." I said handing Rose over to her. "Sure." She said taking Rose into the living room. After breakfast was done Amira stayed around for a while, and when Rose finally went to sleep for a nap. Chanel and I settled down in the couch in the living room. "So, Chanel's, Rose's mother?" Amira asked curiously. "Yeah, and she was also my wife." I said which really took Amira by surprise. "Oh, well why did you guys break up?" She asked. "If it's okay I don't wanna discuss that it just reminds of all the bad things I did." I sighed as I stroked her hair. "That's fair, but just one more question Frank, why did she call you Gareth when you answered the door?!" She asked with a stern look on her face.
