Oh boy would his little Maria be surprised to see her father after all this time. Miguel was so sure that Kay had told her all about him. He was so sure that Kay would want her to know what a great guy he was, so she was still so fond on him herself.
He had wished so many times that she would get over him, and find another person to fill her heart with the love she deserved, but she never did. He wanted her to be as happy as he was when he was with Charity. Yes Kay and him had bumped heads along the way when it came to Charity, and they never could seem to see eye to eye on it, but it didn't mean that she still didn't carry a piece of his heart. They had been best friends for years; she had been the only one to truly understand him. He just wished they still had that friendship; it seemed to get lost over the years.
Fox and Kay were walking hand in hand through the park on a beautiful fall afternoon. They had dropped off Maria at Sam's house to spend time with her uncle Noah, and his girlfriend, Fancy. They had wanted some alone time.
Leaning her head on Fox's shoulder as they walked, "You know I'm so glad that we're finally unpacked, I don't think I could have gone through another box."
"I know what you mean. Who would have thought that we had that much stuff amongst the two of us?" Fox replied. "Everything in our life is totally perfect now. I mean I've got you and Maria in my life, nothing could ruin this for us."
Kay stopped in her path, turning to face Fox. She gazed into his eyes, "I know, and no one's ever made me the way you make me feel when I'm with you. I love you with all my heart."
"I love you too," he said leaning in to kiss her.
From the corner of his eye, he saw a couple kissing. He smiled it reminded him of how him and Charity were. He missed that so dearly. As he gave the couple a second glance, he realized that there was something awful familiar about that girl. He felt like he knew her, that's when he realized who it was.
"Kay," he whispered, before taking off.
Miguel sat in the corner of the Book Café, thinking. What, when did this happen? He had talked to Theresa and Luis over the last few months, and they hadn't mentioned a thing about it.
Then is came to him, it must be something new, some fling. There was nothing he had to worry about, but why was he so worried that she was taken anyways, Charity was the one he loved.
