Only You Can Save Me {Slow Updates}

Chapter 7

♥Isaac's P.O.V♥

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. 8:30. I yawned going into the same routine I do everyday. It would be nice to do something a little different but for now it was just Maxine and me. I loved it. I wanted her to stay this young forever.

She woke up to the sound of my voice and me removing the blankets off of her. Maxine sat up with the cutest bed head. She still looked cute, I leaned over kissing her cheek. "Good morning, baby."

"Morning daddy." She rubbed at her eyes smiling at me. My heart still swelled as if it was the first time I seen her as just a small blob on the monitor. It's amazing I managed to power through the whole Justin situation and ended up with this beautiful result.

"Go take a bath and get ready, alright?"

She nodded getting out of her bed. My daughter walked to the small bathroom getting in the bath I made for her.

I walked Maxine to the daycare. The whole way she told me about a girl in her class who liked the ribbons in her hair.

This was happiness. My heart outside my body. The only person I loved. I picked her up causing her to let out a shriek of surprise I twirled her around in my arms despite the people walking on the sidewalk. She giggled. "Daddy."

Her small hands cupping my cheeks while I continued the walk to Peregrine's. "What baby?" I kissed her cheek.

"I love you," My heart swelled. I never got tired of hearing that. It was music to my ears. Max was my everything. I don't know what I would do without her, where I would be right now if I didn't have her when I did.

It had me thinking.

'Would I still be with Justin?'
'Would he have changed in four years?'
'If I stayed would Max have changed anything for us?'
'Did he still have the same tendencies?'

"I love you too, sugar." We arrived at the small colorful building. I kissed my daughter goodbye and walked to the office. I hated walking all the time but I couldn't afford a car at the moment.

The walk was felt so long without Max by my side. The cons of being a parent.

I arrived at the office building. The normal bustling going on around. I entered my pin and clocked in walking towards the elevator. "Isaac." I turned to see the familiar brunet.

"Scott." I rolled my eyes turning back to face the elevator waiting for it to open.

He stood next me, "not an eye roll. I thought we had a great start yesterday." I seen him smile in the reflection on the elevator door. "I just came by to see you. I wanted to know about me taking you out for lunch."

The doors opened with a soft ding and people dressed nicely got off the elevator. We waited until everyone was off until we stepped on. I pressed the button next to 8 to get to my floor. "I don't know, Scott." I didn't want to say no to him but I also didn't want to say yes.

"What can I do to convince you?"

If only you knew how broken I was.

I forced a smile looking at him, "I just don't want to date anyone right now." I held the bag on my shoulder closer to me in fear that he might lash out at me for rejecting him.

A small chuckle filled the air and my heart sank. "Well then," he ran his hands through his dark hair with a smirk on his face, "There's no chance I can get you on just one date? If you don't have a great time you don't have to go out with me again."

This time it was my turn to laugh, "isn't that how dates work?"

The elevator doors opened revealing people waiting to get on. We stepped off him walking me to my office leaving against the gram to stop me from getting in. "It sure is. Just think about it more, please." Scott smiled at me pushing off the frame.

I nodded my head.

Scott then raised his hands and gave himself a high five and I rolled my eyes shutting the door on him with a silent goodbye.
