Melanie

This week at daycare is going smoothly so far. A hot new guy just started today so that makes it ten times more enjoyable. I haven't gotten to formally introduce myself since he's been working with the kids for the past three hours. His lunch break should be soon because nap time is in a couple of minutes.

I finish up a couple of things, so I can also have lunch at the same time as him. Logging out of the computer. I head to the staff lounge to see the dark hair man sitting alone, eating leftover spaghetti it appears.

I walk over and sit across him. Observing his features, I noticed his chiseled jaw with a beard growing quite nicely. Tattoos scattered around his arms up to his neck. His stripped yellow shirt make his honey eyes more vibrant.

"Hello, I'm Melanie, the manager. And you are?"

"Zayn," he grins.

"So, how's your first day going?"

"Great, actually. The children are adorable." He beams.

"If you don't mind me asking, why is someone handsome as you working here. Shouldn't you be modeling somewhere?" I ask honestly, but it takes it as a joke and belts out a laugh. I can't help but let one slip out too.

"For the experience, I'm going to be a father."

"Oh well congratulations. I'm assuming you and your wife are very happy."

"I'm not married actually. My ex and I got together for one night. Always make sure your sober when having sex that's how you avoid mistakes. But it's fine because I'm going to be in his or her life."

I don't know why but I'm glad he's not married. It's not like he's going to be with me anyways. He's way out of my league.

"So, are you two getting back together?"

"Nah, we broke up because we weren't happy together. We tried so hard, but nothing worked it just wasn't meant to be ya know." I nod, my parents fell to that same fate.

We talk a little more and he wanted to know more about me, so I told him anything he wanted to know. We really hit it off, Zayn is a really nice guy. He was a little intimidating at first but once you get to know him he's a sweetheart.

"I gotta get back before the munchkins awake," he says looking at his watch. I let him go and clean up my mess. My phone starts ringing and I answer it with a smile.

"Hey, Kelly, what's up?"

"Are you free after work?"

I look at bridal magazines while waiting for Kelly to come out in the sixth wedding dress she's tried on. She hasn't decided what color of the bridesmaids dresses yet, so I don't know what to look for. I keep suggesting colors I know look great on me but she turned them all down.

"Okay, how about this one," she comes out in a strapless wedding dress with embroidered detailing. I gasp at my beautiful best friend, the other dresses looked great on her but I think this one is the one for her.

"Wow, Kelz I think we found the one." She looks in the mirror and nods her head. "Yeah this is the one just feels and looks right."

She goes to take it off and they take her exact measurements, so the dress will fit perfectly. I wait at the counter for her and become motionless when I see midnight hair and olive tone skin woman looking at dresses. She looks my way and I pretend to look at the magazines beside me.

"Melanie?" Fuck, she saw me. I didn't think she even knew my name.

"Oh hey, Jasmine, right?"

"Yeah, what are you doing here? Harry didn't say you were getting married too?
