The Miami weather was beautiful the clear blue skies, the warm sun and cool wind brushing against your skin. I was sitting in the sand watching everybody else; families playing together, couples fooling around in the water and old people eating ice cream together. I had been staring at my mobile phone all day hoping John would call me or something at least to say he wanted to see me. I lay down looking up at the sky and closed my eyes; the weather was so nice I felt like just basking in the sun. I began dreaming about home and Dad meeting John and the two hitting it off. John and Dad were watching TV, drinking beers and enjoying each other's company. I was making them this beautiful chocolate cake and I was ready to serve it to them. But then someone spun me around and cornered me into the wall. His tight grip held my wrists as I tried to see who it was, but I was unable to see. He began kissing my forehead, then my cheeks and my nose. I heard him say "What are you doing, Lea?" The voice sounded like Wade's. "Lea?" he said again his deep voice becoming louder. I opened my eyes and there he was sitting next to me, this grin on his face as I stared at him. His head was hovering over mine, water dripping from his chin all over my face.

"Having a sleep were we?" he said.

"I didn't get much sleep, last night. I had a lot on my mind." I sat back up next to him.

"I actually slept like a baby."

I smiled. "Well, how was your swim?"

"Fantastic, the water is beautiful."

I couldn't help but linger at him, he's green eyes were gazing at me. I stared at his lips as he lightly slid his tongue over them. His broad tanned chest and long, muscular legs, I then stared at the ground, trying to vacate my mind of these thoughts.

"What is it, Lea?"

I was trying to trail my train of thought. "John... I miss him."

"Are you going to see him today?"

I shook my head, staring at my mobile. "He wants to not see each other for a while; we think it's best for us to have a little space."

"I thought you guys were supposed to be in love, why would you want space?" he bickered.

"We've seen each other almost all day, every day. Plus, I have to go home eventually; this is kind of what it's going to be like when we're apart and they say distance makes the heart grow fonder."

He chuckled. "Sure Lea, well at least this means you can spend more time with me."

I smiled.

...

The sun was beginning to set and there was still nothing from John. Wade had bought us ice creams and we were sitting on the beach. "I think I'm about to put the weight I just lost from swimming, back on with this" I said devouring my chocolate ice cream cone.

Wade snickered. "What weight? You look perfect."

"Thanks." I blushed.

"Lea, I really want to see my daughter, maybe tonight?"

"Tonight?" I was a little surprised.

"Please Lea; I've been separated from her, her whole life. I just want to see her. I just want to see my only daughter." His pleading eyes were too hurt to look in to. I could feel his emotion. Of course he wanted to see his only daughter, who he has loved so much. I owed it to him, for everything he had done for me.

"But I don't even know where she is? Maybe John would know?"

"John..." He looked a little annoyed.

"Stop being stubborn! I know you two aren't best friends, but he can help you see her tonight."

"Could you ask him for me?"

"I'm not seeing him, remember"

He sighed. "I don't like this at all, but I do want to see Adele."

"You do, she's lovely. She has every bit of you in her." I smiled at him.

"Tell me more about her" he said, glee filling his face as I spoke about her.

"She's very creative; she's very loving and very intelligent."

He nodded, smiling.

"But she can be very stubborn, that's how I knew she could only be your daughter." Wade chuckled.

...

Wade drove up to John's house, where he was expecting him as they spoke earlier on the phone. "Hey" said John letting him inside, this aggravated look on his face.

"Hello." Wade sat himself on the couch. "So... nice place."

"It's not Buckingham Palace, but it'll do" said John sitting across from him, irritated.

Wade smirked. "Well... can you help me?"

"I can. Adele is staying at my brother's girlfriend's house for the night while Nicole is at the club. We can go there."

"Great, let's go."

John was wound up. "I'm only doing this because I know Lea, must have had the idea. So don't think this makes me think anything good of you."

"I don't blame you" Wade grinned.

John rolled his eyes and walked outside, Wade followed him.

...

They were at Taylor's apartment building. "So you ready to see your daughter?"

Wade nodded, walking inside the building.

They rode up in the elevator, the fifty levels made the elevator ride a little slow.

"So... how is Lea?" asked John.

"She's fine, just fantastic."

John nodded, his expression was gloomy. Wade noticed his change of mood.

"She misses you... a lot" he muttered.

A small smile appearing on John's face. "I miss her too."

The elevator stopped, the doors opened and John led Wade toward Taylor's apartment. Wade panted "what if she doesn't like me?"

"A caring, fuzzy person like you; how could she not?" said John sarcastically.

Wade frowned at him.

"Look man, I'm sure she'll love you." John patted Wade on the back.

"Thanks, but never touch me again."

John laughed as he knocked on her door. Taylor appeared with a smile as she looked at the two differing men standing in the hallway. "What did I do to get so lucky?"

John smirked. "Just came to see you, Sis." The two men walked inside.

Taylor gazed at the stranger, in her house.

"Taylor, this is Wade Barrett... he's a friend of Lea's."

"Please to meet you" said Wade gently shaking her hand.

"You're British?" she said charmed by his accent.

"I am indeed" Wade smirked. John rolled his eyes, annoyed at the two.

"Adele is here, we were just colouring in" said Taylor leading the men to the lounge room. "She's just in the bedroom, putting her pyjamas on."

They nodded, sitting down on her sofa.

"Can I get you guys something?" she asked.

"I'll have a beer thanks" said John grinning.

"I was actually asking our guest" said Taylor.

John shook his head.

Wade grinned. "I'll just have a glass of water, please if it's not too much trouble."

Taylor giggled. "Sure, I'll be right back."

"Dude, that's my brother's girlfriend!"

"She's lovely" said Wade watching her walk into the kitchen.

They stared at the cartoon on the television, when they were joined by the little girl Wade had been yearning for. His eyes watering as he watched the small, dark haired, green eyed girl run towards them.

"Hi John" she said giving John a hug.

"Hello Adele" said John cuddling her "having fun with Taylor?"

"Yeah, we're going to watch Beauty and the Beast soon" the little girl spoke.

Wade smiled at her while she sat in John's lap. John watched him.

"Hey Adele, this is my friend Wade. He has wanted to meet you for a little while now" said John pointing to Wade.

"Hello" said Wade shyly.

"Hello Wade, why do you want to see me?" she asked.

"Well, I know that you're a very special girl and I just had to meet you" said Wade.

"Here how about you talk with Wade and I go help Taylor in the kitchen" said John sitting Adele on Wade's lap. John left the two in the room.

"So how's your Mum, I actually used to be her best friend" said Wade.

"She's fine, I never see her though. I wish sometimes that she would want to play with me, but she always leaves me with someone else. I just wish my Daddy would come and get me" she said.

"Your Daddy?" he asked.

"Yeah, my Mum said that he didn't love me anymore so that why were not together."

Tears trailed down Wade's face. "Someone as special as you, how could he not love you?"

She was surprised by his tears. "Why are you crying?"

"Because I know your Daddy loves you and he'll take you away somewhere much better, where you don't have to be left with anyone else."

"Do you know my Daddy?" she asked.

"I do" nodded Wade "but it has to be our secret you can't tell anyone especially not your Mum."

She put her finger against her lips. "I promise."

"I'm your Dad" he said smiling. He pulled out the photograph of her, himself and Nicole that was at his house.

She grinned; her eyes glittered as she looked at the photo. "You are my Daddy."

"But remember it's our secret ok."

She nodded, pretending to zip her lips. Wade chuckled.

"I love you my darling and Daddy will take you home."

She smiled, hugging him. Wade wiped the tears from his eyes.

"Alright, go see how John is doing."

She walked into the kitchen. Wade took a moment to gather himself together, he was very happy to have seen Adele.

John and Taylor returned with Adele. Taylor handed Wade his glass of water and he chugged it down. "Thank you" he said handing the empty glass back to her "so it was lovely to meet you, Taylor"

"It was nice to meet you too."

He kneeled down next to Adele "I'll see you soon; I hope you enjoy Beauty and the Beast." He winked at her, as she winked back.

"Bye Wade" she said waving at them. "Bye John."

...

"So how did it feel?" asked John as they walked back to the car.

"Just like I knew it would feel... thank you John for letting me see her, I truly do appreciate it and the other day, I was completely out of line." said Wade.

John smiled. "Its fine, I guess I owe it to you, you're my fiancé's boss and you've done a lot for her."

"I've done hardly anything, she deserved some happiness."

"Wade, I don't know what your intentions are, you seem like an alright guy but I feel like you're more of a threat, than anything else."

"Intentions?" he bellowed "she's my assistant, she's just an employee. I have no idea what you're talking about."

"You may not admit your feelings, but I know there's something there" said John.

"You're being absolutely ludicrous John! I don't have any feelings for her."

John shook his head. "Alright don't admit it, just know that I am very much in love with her and I'd do anything and everything to make her happy."

"And she loves you, very much so, so please don't do anything I wouldn't otherwise I'd be forced to break that pretty face of yours" Wade warned.

John nodded. "I'd do nothing to hurt her.

"Well this taking time off crap, it is hurting her. You wanting to be away from her shows her you don't want to be with her. So just be a man and go see her. She's been waiting all morning for you to call her."

...

Wade had arrived home and John had followed. The two men entered the house, it was quite late now. I was lying on the couch watching television, John looked at Wade. He smiled as he watched John jump on the couch next to me. I looked up at his gorgeous face, smiling at me, his adorable dimples appeared. "John!" I said putting my arms around his neck.

"Hello beautiful, miss me?"

"I did miss you." I kissed his cheeks, then his lips.

"I missed you too, I love you."

"Don't make me not see you again" I said.

He smiled "never again."

Wade sighed and walked into his bedroom.
