Baby Daddy?

FLASHBACK

Phee was making her way down and out of the neighbourhood. She really didn't know where she was going, I mean she could try and find Ander but for some reason she just let herself wander, a walk seems nice huh. Smiling at her thoughts she had gotten herself to the other side of town where she could see the kids riding bikes with their friends. She stopped across the street from this cute little restaurant. A of course she knew this was the restaurant that Samuel worked at and it was partially due to the fact that her brother had worked here the year before he graduated, he made the decision that it would be a good idea for him to try out a job before he graduated.  So most of her time after school was spent sitting at the bar of this restaurant. She smiled and waved at the workers and even the boss as she made her way through the kitchen, she noticed a new worker. He seemed to be struggling with the flame, it was amusing she couldn't lie, she tried to stop herself from giggling. but apparently it didn't go unnoticed, a small giggle caught his attention.

"you know, it's much easier to cook things on the lower heat." She spoke the smile still present on her face.

"you seem to know a lot." The man replied

"just about as much as there can be when it come to cooking." she finally got a good look at him and she had to admit he was handsome, he raises his brow at her response. " that and also the fact that almost everyone here knows the trick to that stove is to cook on low heat because the knobs were put on backwards". She winked at him before continuing out the back, she didn't even wait for his reply.

 Nano took a good look at the stove and saw that she indeed was telling the truth, he didn't hav the time to be annoyed and from what he could hear behind him the other kitchen staff were laughing at the girls statement.

Nano took the tea towel which was draped across his shoulder quickly he turned " so no one was gonna tell me." He huffed slightly annoyed this time. While the others went about their business.

Getting closer to the back Phoenix could see that Samuel was sitting eating a sandwich, looking a little too deep in thought  and something tells her he's not thinking about the chicken.

"Grilled Chickens good but i'm not sure what is did to have you looking so deeply into it." She teased stoping in front of him.

He looked up quickly, a smile finding its way to his face. " I guess my love for chicken is something you'll never understand." He moved over making room for her to sit next to him

Phoenix laughed taking her seat, it was something about being around Samuel that made her feel different... it was a nice different.

"You've been busy all week so I never got to thank you for helping me." He smiled, brushing the crumbs off his lap.

She giggled her back leaning against the table top, tilting her head towards the sky trying to bask in the last of the sun she spoke. "You don't have to thank me-

"No you I don't know if I would have been prepared to face Martin if I showed up with a half-finished assignment... again." He cut her off this time facing her.

"Okay how about you make it up to me by coming somewhere?". This time she turned her head facing Samuel. She was so close she could feel his breath tickling the tip of her nose.

They both sat staring at one another for a bit, you could see the smile come up on their lips.

"Should I be scared..." he hesitated but a slight mischievous look can be found in his eyes.

Without taking her eyes off him she let her lips turn up into a smile, unconsciously her tongue finds itself caught between her teeth. To anyone else the sight of the both of them would seem strange. As they were too close to be identified as "just Friends".

Finally she leaned back, standing in front of him with her hand outstretched. " how about you just come and find out... hmm." She spoke.

And who was Samuel to decline such a request, he took her hand eagerly, and away they went, he laughed as she continued to pulling back towards the front of the restaurant. His Chicken sandwich long forgotten. He had no idea where he was headed and he was okay with that. As long as he was with her.

"Do you want to hold him." Phoenix spoke looking over her shoulder to Samuel who looked slightly nervous. She gave him a encouraging smile walking closer to him.

" See it's not that bad." She giggled "he likes you." They both sold close to each other looking down and the calm puppy that not reseted in Samuel's arms.

" I hate to admit it but he's adorable." Samuel couldn't help the smile that graced his face as the Border Collie puppy started to lick his face.

Phoenix took a step back to admire the sight, she was unbelievably happy, there was nothing that could ruin this moment for her.

"How do you feel about being a baby daddy?". She spoke and Samuel was quick to look up at her, he laughed thinking it was some kind of joke, but he was quick to stop once he noticed she was serious.

"You're joking right? He asked I mean I don't know about you but were a bit too young to be having kids."

It was that moment she couldn't hold her straight face any longer, she burst out laughing. " im sorry." She gasped coming down from her fit.

" I meant the puppy Samu, you can be MY baby daddy." They both looked at the puppy who seemed to have no care in the world.

"I guess he does kinda have my eyes." Samuel spoke

She scoffed pushing his arm slightly they looked at each other once again bursting into a fit of laughter.

Together they spent the afternoon in that little pet shop, and the cafe across the street enjoying each others company, soon enough it was time for them to part ways Samuel  had offered to walk her home but she quickly shut it down saying that her brother would be on his way to pick her up. so here they sat on a bench at the park. 

"I had a really good time today." Phoenix spoke, her fingers fidgeting, this was the first time in a long time that she's ever felt like this. 

Samuel sighed " Me too, I actually kinda glad that I let you drag me along." he laughed as she didn't hesitate to shove his shoulder. he didn't mind it, the whole afternoon he spent with Phoenix he got to know that her favourite colour is peach,  she loves music, her older brother is one of her best friends and most importantly he got to learn that Phoenix was no different then himself.... she was an observer.

"That's me." She spoke getting up from the bench they sat on, you could see the black Mazda across the road and the slight silhouette of a man leaning against the drivers door . "are you sure you're okay to get home by yourself i... um i'm sure my brother won't mind dropping you off." 

Samuel quickly shook his head and reassured her that his place was just down the block, not entirely sure she reluctantly made her was towards her brother. with a quick greeting to her brother she made her way to the the passenger side, not before she called out. 

"I'll see you tomorrow Samu." 

and just like that the perfect day had sadly come to an end, but he was excited for what tomorrow had in store.
