Chapter 18, enjoy!

Maryse's POV

I snapped my phone shut, smiling up at Mike who was waiting to take me and Trinity out for breakfast. He held out his hand and I took it. "You look gorgeous Maryse." He complimented. I blushed and smiled at him.

"You're not looking bad yourself." I replied as he opened the passengers seat for me. Trinity was sitting in the back. "Hey Trinity, how's everything going?" I asked, turning in my seat to face her. She smiled and nodded as a 'Good.' Mike got in the driver's seat and began driving. We made it to the café in a few minutes. We sat in a booth, me and Trinity on one side, Mike on the other. We ordered a sandwich for everyone, and a coffee for me and Mike. The orders came fast, and we began to eat.

"Mike, I can't finish this." I said, holding out my sandwich.

"I'll eat it." He joked. I smiled and put the sandwich on his plate. "I was kidding Maryse."

"I wasn't." I said with a smirk.

"Whatever." He said with a smile as he shook his head. He finished my sandwich and Trinity finished hers. "You guys wanna go walk around the park? It's a beautiful day out."

"Sure." I smiled and translated to Trinity. She smiled and nodded. I guess she's a little shy around Mike.

As we got up to leave, Mike whispered in my ear. "You know I consider this a date, right?"

I blushed and rolled my eyes. "Whatever Mike. Let's just take that walk."

He smiled as we walked out. I took Trinity's hand as we walked over to the park.

"Isn't this so gorgeous? I love the flowers around here." Mike said with a smile.

"Yes it- Ow!" I screamed as a ball hit my arm. A woman came rushing over, yelling frantically at a 10 year old boy.

"I'm so sorry, he was throwing the ball to me and it slipped. Are you okay?" The woman asked in a thick french accent. I smiled and shook my head. Trinity gasped and tugged her hand away from me, hugging the woman.

"Umm, does she know her?" Mike asked in my ear. I shrugged. I watched as the woman looked shocked. Trinity let go, smiling. I saw the woman gasp and hug her tight. The little boy came rushing over. He too gasped and gave Trinity a hug.

"Okay, this is getting weird..." I whispered to Mike.

"Thank you! Thank you!" The woman said over and over. "You've found my daughter!"

"Found? Your daughter?" Mike and I said in unison.

"Yes! Her father and I are divorced. I got full custody of her and her older brother Tristen. He didn't like it, so he took her away from me, dropping off the face of the earth."

"Wow... So, umm, are you going to... Take her?" Mike asked. I just stood there stunned. I was going to help Trinity, and it just so happens that it was so easy that we just meet her mom and brother on a walk through the park. That sounds too easy... Maybe I'm just paranoid with everything going on... Oh well.

"Well not to be rude or anything, but she is my daughter. And I have legal rights over her." Her mother explained. I just stood, shocked.

"Okay then... Stay in touch?" I asked. I had really grown fond of Trinity.

"Oh, yes! We can't thank you enough for finding her!"

"Okay then..." I smiled at Trinity's mother, giving her my cell number. "Call anytime! Then I'll have your number in my phone." I said.

"Okay, thank you again!" The woman said. Trinity gave me a big hug before leaving with her family.

"Well... Wasn't that just... A coincidence?" Mike asked as he and I turned back, walking over to his car.

"Wow. And to think I would've had to work about 1 month atleast to get her dad in jail. But now... She's gone." I smiled at the pleasant thought, but couldn't help but let the waterworks start. Mike noticed and pulled me into his arms.

"Shhh... It's okay..." Mike soothed. I cried on his chest.

"She was like a little sister." I said, hugging him tight.

"I know Maryse... It's okay, let it all out." Mike just kept repeating, comforting me.

"Thanks Mike." I said, sighing and pulling free. As we began to walk again, I took his hand. He smirked, looking at our hands. "Thanks for the great first date." I smiled up at him as we reached his car. I put my hand around his neck, kissing his cheek.

"No problem Maryse. Anytime." He said with a smile.

I smiled back as we got into the car. He drove back to his house and I smiled, walking into his room. I sat on the couch, looking through his DVD list.

"Maryse, what are you doing?" He asked, following behind me.

"Going through your DVD's. They're all classics."

"That's what I prefer."

"So do I."

Mike smiled, laying down next to me. "I'm tired after today. Wanna go to sleep?" He asked, facing me.

"Sure." I said with a smile as he started to get up and go to bed. I hopped up, following him. He watched me and smirked. My eyes grew wide and I hit his arm. He laughed and laid down. I laid down next to him. I turned towards him, wrapping my arms around his stomach. I laid my head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"Thanks again Mike." I whispered. He lifted my face with his pointer finger and chin.

"Anytime." He whispered back, slowly leaning in. I smiled and let him kiss me gently. I kissed back before pulling away a few seconds later.

"I don't want to lead this to something else, so let's just take a nap, okay?" I said, and he frowned jokingly.

"Aww, but I was looking forward to it!" He joked.

"Uhh!" I slapped his arm and he laughed. "Goodnight Mike." I said before drifting off to sleep.
