Author's POV:

Trailing down the path which was now soaked with water due to the rain, walking to have a coffee in a café is what Y/n wanted right now. Staying up late up at night on her laptop did have its pros and cons. Hugging her coat tighter and a cold puff of air escaping her mouth.

It fucking had to rain now. You couldn't wait a little longer?

She thought to herself looking up towards the sky. Call her religious or childish talking to that invisible being by looking up the sky has been her habit since the time she got to know her mother who told her that God lived up there. Not exactly religious, that going right out the window wholly a few years ago. Just random talk with the heaven guy is enough for her religious goals.

*THUD*

"I am so sorry! I am so sorry!!"

Looking down she saw a cute girl looking down, her teary eyes trailing over my boots which were smeared in strawberry juice and maybe some cream?

Her lips in a pout and scrunching her little nose sniffing over her mistake.

"Hey, hey sweetie," Y/n said bending down to her level to meet her eyes.

"I ruined your cool boots." She said sniffing, wiping her nose using her backhand.

"No, no honey they are not ruined at all. I will just wipe them with some napkin and it will be good as new." y/n said with soft eyes. She was gonna throw hands if it for any other person, but cute kids had a soft spot in her heart and she would melt right away even when she shows a tough exterior for herself.

"Are you sure?" she said looking up towards me.

"Yes, honey." Gently placing her loose strand behind her small ear. "But I do need something in return for this. Maybe two. Will you give?" I said making looking at her round eyes.

"What is it? Do you want my crepe?" she asked forwarding her hand which holds the crepe towards Y/n blinking her eyes innocently.

Chuckling Y/n gently pushed her hand back. "No, you have that. I want your........." looking like she is thinking glancing at the girl who looked her at her innocently.

.........name." Y/n said finally looking at her.

She giggled "Emma. What's yours?" she said now stars shining in her eyes. When Y/n was gonna say her name she was abruptly stopped.

"OHH!! Wait I know! I know!!" She said jumping up and down.

"Yeah? Then what is my name?" Y/n asked wanting to know her answer.

"Pretty lady!!" she said smiling even her eyes were smiling forming crescents.

"OH, you sure about that?" Y/n asked her surprised by her answer.

"Yeah, 100%." She said smiling.

Chuckling Y/n stood up taking her in her arms carrying her looking around and seeing a bakery.

"You came from that shop honey?"

"Yes."

"Who came with you Emma?" she asked.

Walking towards the shop she entered.

"My brother came with me. He bought me my favorite flavor of ice cream today!!" she said with excitement.

Bopping her nose, along which came a cute giggle. "Now can you spot your brother for me?" Y/n asked.

She looked around searching for her brother in the crowd.

"Oppa!!!" the little girl called seeing her brother.

Turning her head towards where Emma pointed she saw a man turning towards their direction. The man looked 2-3 years older or maybe the same age as Y/n. Would have been a few inches taller than Y/n. Donned in ripped denim jeans with a leather jacket to go with his look. Cap covering his blonde hair that was peeking out from the corner and his eyes were covered with shades.

Stylish brother I guess.

Y/n thought.

"Oh, there you are!!! Don't run off like that Emma I have told you many times not to leave my hand didn't I? You are gonna make Oppa die out of the tension you give-"

He suddenly stops his rants and notices that Emma was clutching my fingers in her tiny hands with her head down while she listens to her brother's sad lecture.

"Um hey," I said not make things awkward since he was looking at me but didn't know exactly where since he was wearing dark shades.

"Who are you?" he said with a sudden change in his voice.

"Woah chill, I ain't a child kidnapper," I said before he starts thinking of me like that. Since his tone changed I am damn sure he is gonna think I am that or something like that.

"This little angel here bumped into me on the streets. Which led to the crème and strawberry sauce you are seeing on my boots." I said with a small smile.

"Yeah, this pretty lady is so pretty Oppa!!" Emma said looking up and making puppy eyes towards her brother.

"Oh, sorry about the rude tone. I didn't mean to be harsh it's just that I am a little protective of her-" he said keeping bowing to apologize. But I cut him off

"Hey, it's fine. It's natural I know I have a niece and I would behave in the same way too. It's nothing." I said giving a small smile.

"Thank you for bringing her back. I was so tensed I was going to call for the cops." He said rubbing his neck in embarrassment.

I giggled at his actions shrugging his actions.

He knows to blush as well huh?

"But I think Emma owes me something..." I said looking at the little ball of sunshine who was looking at me with dimples.

"Oh!! I will pay for the shoes-"

"Woah chill, I ain't asking for money or a shoe. I will ask Emma herself." I said crouching down to her level.

"You remember the second wish that you owe me?" I asked bopping her nose getting a sweet giggle from her.

"Yeah, what is it? Do you want the same flavor crepe which I had?" she asked.

Oh, I wanna just squish her cheeks!! She is so freaking adorable!!

"No honey, I just wanna little kiss on the cheeks," I said turning my cheeks towards her.

She looks towards her brother who gives her an assuring smiling nod.

"OK"

She surprisingly kissed both my cheeks. Surprising both me and her brother.

"Thanks, sweet-bun," I said.

"We will get going on. It was nice meeting you. See you again." His brother said taking Emma in his arms.

"Bye," I said waving at them.

"Bye, pretty lady!" Emma shouted in the shop catching everyone's attention towards us. Chuckling I waved at her exiting the shop.

Thinking of buying something from the shop since I came, I noticed a card on the floor. Picking it up I turned it to see the details of the card.

Interesting.........
