Him. {ON HOLD}

Prologue

It was a cold, rainy day in Sydney. The sky was dark and there was no sun in sight. Looking at the ground I walked into the cafe thinking about how it's such bad weather for such a bad day.
I found out last week that I am pregnant. Don't get me wrong it's not weird for a 22 year old to be pregnant but the fact that today my boyfriend of 6 months left me when he found out kinda sucks. So I'm kind of alone at this point. The hardest part is that my dad hates me for it because apparently I'm too young but at least my mum and sister support me.
I walked up to the counter and ordered a hot chocolate and a chocolate chip cookie. I payed the lady and picked up my drink and cookie walking to my usual seat in the back corner. it was a quiet little cafe hidden in my little suburb. There were never really many people in here which is why I love it so much, it's never crowded and always relaxing. I looked up as I heard the ding on the door notifying the workers that someone has entered. A boy wearing a black hood coving half his face walked in. I watched as he walked towards the cashier ordering, paying and collecting then he looked around the shop. He spotted me staring him and I quickly looked down. I watched out of the corner of my eye as he approached me.
"Mind if I sit here?" The mystery man asked. I could see his face now as he roved the hood from his head. He had amazing green eyes and bright red hair. He was incredibly handsome and I couldn't help but stare at him as cliche as it sounds. I nodded my head and he sat in the seat across from me. "I'm Michael by the way." He smiled at me.
I smiled back at him "Hi I'm Maria." I picked up my hot chocolate taking a sip.
"So you from around here?" I nodded again and looked away from his eyes smiling. I've never been so nervous to talk to a guy. Maybe I'm scared that one day I'm gonna get close to him but then he will disappear out of my life because I'm pregnant. "You don't talk much do you."
I looked back up at Michael and smiled slightly. "Sorry I just have a lot on my mind." He nodded in an understanding way.
"I'm sorry, do you wanna talk about it?" I looked at him. Should I just tell him straight up or not? At least if he leaves now I won't be as disappointed.
"Well, I uh, I found out I was pregnant last week and when I told my boyfriend this morning he left me. He said something about how 22 year olds shouldn't be pregnant even though it's technically his fault." I sighed thinking about what a dickhead he is. Seriously how could he do that?
Michael looked shocked. Crap he's probably disgusted by the fact that I'm pregnant. "It sounds as though you'd be better off without that dickhead. If it makes you feel better I'm more than happy to be a beautiful girls friend even if you are pregnant." He smiled sweetly. I blushed looking down towards my untouched cookie.
"Thanks Michael that's sweet. I'd be happy to be your friend too." I looked at my phone to check the time. 2:30PM. "I'm really sorry but I should be going. My mum is expecting me back by 2:40 and I've got a 20 minute walk ahead of me." I started to stand up and so did he.
"Let me drive you home. I know we only just met but I can't just let you walk home in the rain by yourself." I smiled at him and nodded.
"Thank you Michael it means a lot." He just gave me a nod and motioned for me to follow him out of the cafe. We got to his car and hopped in.
"So Maria will I get to see you again?" He said as he started the car and started driving to where I was directing him.
"Maybe, I mean your nice and the fact that I'm pregnant doesn't seem to scare you away like it has to some people so maybe." I smiled. He looked at me for a second before turning to the road again.
"How about I take you out tomorrow night. Get your mind off the loser that you called your boyfriend and make you see how awesome I am. If you don't want to I understand but it'd be awesome if you did. It can be like a friendly date." He smiled and I laughed.
"Of course I'll go out with you Michael." I smiled at the boy not knowing then how he was going to effect my life greatly.
