Hello again! I said i was inspired so i figured i'd post the next chapter now. Like i said, please review and/or follow if you like the story and wish to keep reading! So now enjoy!

"You're fiancé?" I said startled. How stupid could I be to think he'd be here in New York waiting and still adoring me? He is really moving on, not even moving on, he has moved on. Sabrina smiled as me as she removed what looked to be Gucci sunglasses to reveal the most gorgeous blue eyes I had ever seen. Looks like her found someone to use his "blue eyes" nickname on. "Sabrina is it? It's a pleasure to meet you, I haven't heard anything about you." I said with a sassy attitude, "But then again Elijah and I are no longer that close of friends seeing as we broke up from our 3 year relationship 5 years ago." I smiled at them both as I helped Adam into the car, "Shall we head out to my condo?" Eli looked as if he wanted to burst out laughing. If anyone knew my sassy attitude it was Eli.

"Actually I need to drop Sabrina off at the florist otherwise she will be late and I'll have to hear about it for the next few days." He said smiled and holding her hand. He finished loading my bags into the car helped me into the car then got into the front seat and we were on our way.

The drive was quiet; A little too quiet than I was used too. Normally I would have music on in the car of Adam talking off my ear about his day at day-care, but Adam was falling asleep next to me and all the noise I could hear were the sweet sounds of the busy New York City traffic.

"This is Rena" Sabrina said answering her phone after only one ring. "Yes John-Paul," she continued, "I'm down the street, stuck in traffic." She paused "Yes well something unexpected came up and I couldn't get out of it." Another silence, I knew she was referring to going with Eli to pick me up. "Yes I am…I'M HERE" she exclaimed. "See you tomorrow Eli." She said without another word and slamming the door shut.

"You can move up front if you'd like." Eli then said breaking another awkward silence.

"Adam is asleep on my lap back here so I'm okay." I said with a small smile. He let out a small laugh and began to drive. Well your condo is about 15 minutes from here, its pretty close to mine only about 5 minutes. But in New York traffic that means at least a 30-45 minute drive, so I hope you are confortable."

"Well I've had a child for about 5 years and a sleeping one for half that time" I laughed, "I think I will be okay." He nodded and another silence fell over the car.

She's not normally such a…bitch" he said in a hushed tone. "She has a lot of stuff on her mind with the wedding" he said pausing, "she was excited to meet you, just so you know." I had no words so I just nodded.

"Well I hope you are happy." We then sat in silence for the rest of the ride, both of us unable to speak in fear of saying the wrong things. We still had unfinished business.

The ride felt longer than it really was. I felt as if the car ride was an eternity, in reality it was only 35 minutes. Eli pulled into the parking garage of the condo. He helped me move all my bags up to the 7th floor of the building. I was surprised at how nice the condo really was. I only vaguely remembered it from the last time I visited New York. I opted for the larger option as I could have 3 bedrooms, my room, Adam's room, and an office plus a kitchen a living room and 2 bathrooms. I was glad I saved up all the money from my 3 jobs from the past 5 years.

"Nice place." Eli said in awe, "I knew I could find a great place for you, it looks way better than it did in the pictures." I laughed.

"I guess I have to get settled now," I said trying to drop a hint.

" Do you need any help setting up yours or Adam's bed?" he asked. I shook my head and began to explain that the building let the movers in a few days ago to set up the big things and that the rest of furniture I would set up myself with the next shipment comes in. He nodded and then left.

I walked over to Adam's room where he had already set up his toys and was playing on the floor. "So what would you say to some pizza?" I smiled asking him, he then let out a gasp of excitement as he began to tell me what he wanted on his own and then instructed me that I would need my own pizza because he was a big boy living New York and could eat his own large pizza. "How about a small personal pizza?" he agreed and continued to play.

We ate pizza and watched a movie on Neflix. I called my mom who asked how the condo was and when she could come visit. I assured her the condo was perfect and that she could come visit whenever she wanted. I put Adam to bed and soon after got into bed. I had a big day tomorrow I was going into work to get settled in however the only thing I could think about was if Eli was really serious about his fiancé and how long they knew each other before deciding to tie the knot. All I knew was I made a huge mistake never telling him about Adam. But maybe this is the way it is supposed to be. My head hit the pillow and I fell asleep.

Morning time crept through the blinds of the windows. The bright sun woke me up 5 minutes before my alarm. I almost forgot where I was. I was in my new home. I couldn't help but smile to myself. I knew this was where I need to be.

I went over to the kitchen and made a quick cup of coffee before getting dressed for the day. I picked out a nice grey pencil skirt with a hot pink blouse and a jacket that matched the skirt. Put on a pair of nude heels and curled my hair. I had Adam wake up at about 9 to eat some dry cereal I brought with me with Toronto. "When do we get milk mommy?" Adam asked. I replied with hopefully later today after we go to my work and get lunch. He smiled and went back to his room to get ready. He came out in a nice pair of jeans and a little polo shirt my mom gave him for his birthday, he calls it his dressy shirt, little does he know what a real "dressy shirt" looks like, if he is anything like Eli he will come to love them, especially the dark colored ones.

Adam and I got on the subway around 10, and hour earlier than I was needed at the office. I was unsure of how to navigate the subway so I figure if we leave early we will get there in time. How wrong I was.

"Mommy are we there yet?" I shook my head not saying a word because I had no words. I was lost. "Can we eat when we get there?" he asked.

"Adam sweetie, I need to focus on the subway right now." We got off and I couldn't figure out how I got lost. We walked up to the ground level where everything was. It took all my might to not call Eli but I had no idea where I was.

"Adam, I need you to sit right here" I said walking him to a bench where we both sat while I called Eli. The phone rang many times, I was about ready to give up when "Clare?" he answered the phone. "What's up?" he asked.

"Eli you know I wouldn't bother calling, I know you're busy and we aren't really close anymore but," I paused feeling guilty, "I'm lost, and I don't know how to get to my office." Eli then asked me where I was and quickly explained to me where to get off the subway when I get back on it and how many blocks to walk.

"You know Clare, I'm free later today if you want me to help you map out your way around." Eli suggested.

"you know what Eli, that sounds great but I don't want to bother Sabrina, she didn't seem to be too fond of me and I don't want to cause trouble." Eli laughed.

"Sabrina is trouble in general, and if she has a problem with it that is between us. I am helping my friend navigate her way around her new home. And plus Sabrina is visiting her parents for the next few days so I'm going to be bored anyway, so what do you say?" I felt my mind saying no, and my heart said yes. Before I knew I was agreeing to meet up with him at my condo at 5:30. Although I had no time to worry about that, I needed to focus on getting to the office before I was late to meet my new work colleagues.

Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. It will start to pick up soon, i know it's a little slow as of right now. Thank you for reading! :)
