Nina's POV

It's Friday and all Lilly has been asking all week is can we go to Central Park. "Mommy, pleeeease can we go? Pretty pleeease?"

"Lilly! If I say yes will you stop asking?" She nodded her little head rapidly. "Then yes we can go." She smiled. "Get your bag and we'll go."

"Yay! Thank you mommy!" She ran down the hall to her room and skipped happily on the way back as I went in the kitchen and began packing snacks and juices for my energetic daughter. Then there was a knock on my door.

"Who is it?" I said before looking through the peep whole. Eddie and Henry.I opened the door. "Hey guys, what's up?"

"Well Hen and I were about to go to Central Park, you two wanna come?"

"Actually we were just about to go. We can share a cab."

Eddie's POV

"Okay so how have you not found a guy when you look as amazing as you do?" She smiled shyly ,just like she used to do in highschool, as we looked at the kids playing around.

" I don't know, I mean I don't really go out for fun a lot. Only if Amber wants to eat out from lunch, or Lilly wants to go somewhere."

"Well how about me and you go out tonight."

" Tonight?"

"Yeah. Me you and the night. What do you say?"

"Well... I guess my friend Jessie can watch Lilly."

"There we go. Henry can stay home with Ms. Jones down the hall."

"Okay. It's a deal." Yes. i just got a date for tonight.

Nina's POV

"Ambs, I am 24 years old I can get ready by myself!"

"Says the girl who wears the same cardigan everyday!"

"Not everyday!"

"Okay fine but I'm checking up on you in an hour."

"The date isn't for another 2 hours."

"Yeah, it gives me time to fix any mistakes."

"Well thanks for the support." I went into my closet searching for an outfit to wear. I setteled on a cute tri-color dress and some black pumps. After finishing up my hair and make up. "Well Ambs, what do you think?" I asked stepping into my living room. She gasped, covering her mouth with her hands.

"You look amazing." The voice came from not Amber but Eddie who was standing beside her. I looked down smiling.

"Soo, is anyone gonna tell me when this happened?" asked my best friend.

"We sorta just ran into each other. Well, literally."

"Well lets justb make one thing clear, have her home by midnight. Mick is gonna flip if I get home any later than that." He smirked.

"Okay Amber, don't worry about a thing."

Eddie's POV

"So where exactly are we going on this fine occasion Edison." Nina giggled as I heiled a cab.

"Well, you are just gonna have to see Ms. Martin." I replied as we stepped into the vehicle. 30 minutes later we arrived at the restaurant I had made reservations at. Thank goodness that they take last minute requests.

"Eddie, this place is kinda pricey, are you sure you can afford it?"

"Of course I can Neens. I don't accept challenges I can't complete which both if us know there isn't one that I can't."

She laughed. "Whatever Eds. You're such a goofball."

"What, I saved you and the world twice. I know what I'm doing." I responded in a hush tone. She smiled at the memory. "A toast, to new beginnings and old friends."

"Cheers." She said as we tapped our wine glasses.

(Still Eddie's POV)

"Okay so you let your 6 year old son stay up til 10 o'clock every night?"

"Yea why not. That's what time we were supposed to go to sleep in high school but someone, meaning you, had no respect for curfew rules."

"Well when you're risking your life everyday you start feeling a little restless."

"Anyway what time does Lilly go to sleep?"

"Uh, 7:30. Then I go to bed at 9."

"Well look at you and your bed times. I don't go to sleep til at least 1 am."

"Yeah, that's called sleep deprivation." She looked up at me smiling." I can see the bags under your eyes now."

"We need to do this more often then so you can loosen up your reigns." She snickered slightly.

"Is that your way of asking me out again?"

"Well actually yes it is."

"Hm. Well I just might take you up on the that offer." We had been walking down the to our apartments."Looks like this is good night." Then noticed we had reached her door.

"Yeah. A good night indeed." There was a deep silence between us as we stared into each other's eyes. It was a shock to us both when we leaned in and kissed for the first time. "Um, are you free tomorrow?"

"Yeah. How about me you and the kids go out. It'll be fun."

"Uh, yeah. Definitely." She stepped inside. "Night."

"Night." She closed the door meaning the date had come to an end. 'Best date ever.' I thought vicariously to myself as I walked down to my house where Ms. Jones waiting with my son who was sleeping on the couch.
