Liza's pov
"Oh crap I'm sorry" I said as I walked into some person at Starbucks "it's okay, are you okay?" He asked me "yeah I'm fine, I'm really sorry" I replied looking up at him, we made eye contact and we looked at each other for a minute, he was kind of cute. "Don't apologise, it's okay" he said to me, I smiled. "You're very pretty" he said he went a little red after saying it "thank you, you're not too bad looking yourself" I replied smiling, "you wanna sit and talk?" He asked "yeah sure" I replied, I had a couple hours before I needed to be back home, coming to Starbucks on Sunday afternoons was my time to relax and not be worried about everything I should be worrying about and this time it just got even better.

"Hey stranger" David said tapping me on the shoulder "David!" I said hugging him, it was my couple of hours again, our what was now our couple of hours. We had spoken all week over text and a couple calls and I felt so close to him even only knowing him for a week. "I missed you" he said as we hugged "missed you too" I replied smiling "drink on me?" He asked "if you're offering" I said smiling "I am" he replied smiling, he ordered and said he was surprising me, when he came back he had my exact order that I loved "wow, someone pays attention" I said as I took a sip "I've got to impress" he replied smiling. This guy. "I have a question" David said breaking the silence of us just looking at each other "and that would be?" I asked "well I'm just curios, what do you do at seven every day to disappear for and hour and a half?" He asked "I just do a bit of a evening routine you know, bath, read a book and stuff and then I just relax before I go to sleep" I said, I looked down as I spoke, "fair enough, I miss you for an hour and a half every day" he said, I looked up at him again and smiled "you're amazing David" I said smiling "you're amazing too liza" he replied "you wanna go out this week?" David asked "I would seriously love to but I'm really busy this week" I said "Aw, that's sad I like hanging out with you" he said "I know I'm so sorry I love it too, and I don't want you to think that I'm just turning you down because I'm not I really really want to but I'm just busy and you're such a great guy and I'm so sorry" I said rambling "Liza, it's okay" he said taking my hands, it felt so right and I smiled at him "thanks David" I said "any time liza, Id do anything for you" he replied. This guy is seriously the best.
"Next Sunday?" David asked "of course" I relied "I'll see you then" he said hugging me "yup, text every day?" I asked "of course" he replied.

"Hey" I said on a call with David "hey" he replied, we had been talking to each other for a month now, hanging out every Sunday. "Can we go out tomorrow?" He asked "David I'm really sorry" I started "yeah yeah you're busy" he replied "David I-" I said "Liza, how are you busy every day. I'm waiting for something to happen between us but you keep shutting me down and never hanging out and I'm sick of it because I really really like you and I just want you to realise" he said "David, I know and I really really like you too but I can't hang out during the weeks I'm sorry, I want something to happen between us too but I just have reasons Okay?" I said to him "Liza if you want something to happen between us, starting it off with secrets isn't going to help anything, we're 21 and I feel like if we keep going the way we are nothing will happen until we're 50!" He said, he started to raise his voice a little, which made me really upset but I hid it "David you're right, come over in an hour and I'll tell you everything, I hope it doesn't make you not like me but there's no promises" I said "Liza I don't think there's anything that could make me not like you" he said "okay, well I'll see you in an hour" I said "see you" he replied. He says nothing will make him not like me but I know this is going to really put things into a new perspective, I'm praying with my everything that he's still going to want us to work because I've never felt so much love towards someone and they feel it back.

"Hey" David said as I opened the door "hi" I replied, my voice was shaky and so were my hands "Liza, it's okay. Don't be scared you can tell me" he said, I looked at him and my eyes filled with tears, I can't loose this boy "come here" he said opening out his arms I fell into them and he just held me. "Okay, this thing I've been hiding is really big and I know it's going to mess this up but it's not something I can help because, the thing is, I kind of have a kid" I said, he looked shocked but I could tell he didn't want to show it "okay" he replied processing the information. "Izzy come here" I said shouting of my three year old, she poked her head round the door shyly and then ran into my arms and buried her head into my shoulder "this is Isabella, she is my absolute world and she will always come first but I hope you still want to come second because I do really like you" I said to him "it's good to meet you Isabella" he said to her, she turned her head and looked at him, she smiled but hid her head back into my shoulder "I think, I could make second work" he said smiling "it might take time but I'm willing to try it" he added "thank you so much David, I love you" I said, I didn't even realise what I said but I knew I meant it "I love you too liza, I really do" he replied. This moment was everything, I had my daughter and the love of my life and it was all I needed, even if it was going to take time, I knew me and David would fight for what we wanted.

I stood outside the door to Izzy's playroom and watched my two favorite people for a minute "no David stop" Izzy said laughing as David tickled her "it's not me it's the tickle monster" he said still tickling her, making her laugh super loud, he stopped tickling her and she wrapped her arms around him "I love you David" she said "I love you too izzy" he replied "aw you're both going to make me cry" I said as I stood in the doorway looking at them both "don't cry mommy" Izzy said to me, David opened out his arm and I walked over and joined their hug. "I love you both more than anything in the world" I said to them "we love you too" David replied. He is seriously the best guy in the world, he didn't have to stick around when he knew I had a kid and for him becoming a father figure to Izzy was crazy at 21 but he did it for me, for us. I couldn't have asked for a better man in my life.
