How Did I Fall In Love With You

�Yeah, we better get going, do you have her dressed.�

�I am doing that now, don�t rush� with that she turned to go back upstairs �You are going to change right.�

She turned �I wasn�t but should I�

�Yes something a little more dressy.�

�Okay just give me a second.�

She disappeared upstairs and then minutes later she came back down dressed the same way with only thing different was she had a black jacket on and some jewelry. His daughter was in a cute little dark blue Nike shirt and blue jean shorts. Her hair was in one long braid going down her back and she jumped into her father�s arms and he laughed as he said, �She looks so beautiful�

�I know, I can�t believe she is one years old already.�

�You look beautiful too Nadia even though you did not change.�

�Thank you, we�we better get going.�

The place wasn�t extremely elegant but it was nice. They were seated outside and could see the sun setting over the ocean from their table. Their daughter sat between them as he said, �So in 3 months, we�ll both be single and free again� she moved a little in her seat as she felt her stomach start to knot up �What are you going to do? I mean you were quite a playa before.�

�I�m going to settle down meaning stop sleeping around and you know be a lady and mother now, through this whole experience I have really grown up.�

�You sure have,� he said starting to eat and she laughed as she said �What about you? You�ve spent 20 months on nookie, you�ve grown up.� She started to eat and then she turned to her daughter as she said �And our baby here has grown the most, you know� she looked over at him �You are a really great Dad, you don�t have to tell me I am a great mom I know already.�

He laughed as the cake was brought out the small cake was placed in the middle of the table with one candle in the middle of it. Brandi sat before it she dropped her juice cup and her jaw in surprise. She was more fascinated with the light coming from it other than the cake itself. She had no idea what was going on as she tried to touch it but she quickly moved her hand away and they couldn�t help but laugh as Nadia said �It�s hot baby, blow it�

�Wait, Let�s sing Happy Birthday to her.� They sang to her and she stared at the cake laughing and when they were done they clapped and so did she did laughing and they were too.

After that they went to take a few pictures and went out for ice cream and then home. She was lying across his bed. Since they had had Brandi, Nadia room had turned into the baby room. So she had to sleep with him which wasn�t so bad. She was on one far and him on the other plus when he wasn�t there she had the bed to herself. She tossed her shoes in the corner and started searching through the drawers as she said, �That was so much fun.�

�Yeah it was, shouldn�t you start getting ready for bed you do have to work tomorrow.�

�Yeah, I�m going now.�

She disappeared into the bathroom and like always once he was sure she was in the shower he entered and she asked as she showered �Why do you always do that?�

�I don�t know, If I waited for you to get out of here I��

�You�re just a pervert that all� she poked her head out after a while and she said �Hand me a towel please� he tossed one to her �Now turn around� he did as told as she stepped out and wrapped the towel around herself as she said, �Okay�

Like every night he watched her got ready for bed. He didn�t know why he just did watching her put different things on her face and in her hair and other stuff. He didn�t know where the question came from as he asked, �You think you�ll ever get married again.�

�I don�t know� she asked surprised by his question.

�These past two years, have you been happy?�

�At first I wasn�t but�I guess��yeah� it�s not so bad.� She said now growing nervous and not turning from the mirror.

�Would you do it again?�

She thought about it and then turned to him as she said �Yeah I would, come on let�s get to bed.�

She was about to walk out and he stood up and pulled her back to him and kissed her and she pushed him away as she said, �What are you doing?�

�You know what I�m doing�

�But I can�t�we can�t do this,�I want to really I do�it�s been three years� He just kissed her and she kissed back. She couldn�t push herself to protest anymore and they were in bed doing what physically she wanted so badly but emotionally was killing her.
