Jack's POV
Yesterday at the zoo was great; seeing Belle with a great, big smile on her face was worth more than a million pounds. But, Belle's happiness wasn't the only good part of that day; the woman who worked at the gift shop, Lydia, gave me her number. Normally, after meeting a girl I was interested in, I'd have a drink with them and likely sleep with them. But, I couldn't just invite Lydia over after her shift because I had Belle with me. She wasn't in the way but she wasn't exactly helping.
I've decided to invite Conor over and ask him to look after Belle whilst I go out with Lydia. He should be here any minute now.
The doorbell rang and I answered it to see Conor. I let him in and we sat on the sofa.
"So, what's up?!" he asked. "Why'd you want me over here?!"
"I need you to look after Belle!" I said.
"Why?!" he asked.
"When me and Belle were at the zoo, there was this girl!" I said. "Because I had Belle with me I couldn't invite her round after her shift. So, I want to go get a drink with her!"
Conor sighed.
"Jack, you can't do all the things you used to do anymore!" he said.
"Why?!" I asked, confused.
"Because, you have a kid now!" Conor said. "When you drink with girls, you bring them back and sleep with them! You can't do that with Belle here!"
"You could take her to yours!" I suggested.
"No!" he said. "I'm not taking Belle away so you can bring a girl back and sleep with them! Even you should know that's not right!"
"Then i'll take Lydia back to a hotel!" I said.
"Jack!" Conor sighed. "You have Belle to think about now! Your daughter!"
"I'm still allowed a life!" I snapped. "I'm still allowed to live my life!"
He sighed.
"Go on then" he said. "But we're not making this a regular thing! This is more because I want to spend time with my niece! Just go!"
I knew Conor was mad at me but he's agreed so i'm taking advantage of it!
I got up and texted Lydia.
Me: Hi, it's Jack from yesterday. Fancy going for a drink?
Lydia: Sure babe x
I didn't bother going to Belle's room to say goodbye to her. I was desperate to see Lydia!
"Belle's in her room" I said. "Tell her I said bye. See you later!"
With that, I left.
Conor's POV
I disagreed so much with Jack leaving. But I knew that if I didn't look after her, he'd find someone else to. He could have even left her alone! Does he still even want Belle?!
