A/N: I'm back now from my holiday and I can't thank you guy enough for the massive response to the last chapter of The Arrangement. All I can say is there isn't likely to be many more chapters of the Arrangement but don't cry too much because I have a new fanfic coming soon. Anyways on with this chapter which is more a fill in chapter :) x

"Daddy, who's this?" I looked at the young girl who was pulling on Eddie shirt, in a desperate attempt to get his attention. She was a pretty girl, with beautiful long golden locks and strikingly mesmerising blue eyes. I knew exactly where she got them from – her father.

"Mia this is Patricia my friend. Patricia this is my daughter Mia." Eddie spoke softly as I held out my hand for little Mia to grab which she took willingly.

Mia turned and looked at her Dad once more and said "Aren't you going to let Patricia in Daddy?" I could see that Eddie wasn't comfortable with me being here.

I had do something so I interrupted their conversation, "I was just going actually Mia. Maybe I'll come another time, when it's more convenient."

She looked between me and then towards her father and then she started to pull on his shirt again in attempt to get him to reconsider. "Please Daddy, you never invite your friends over I just want to meet them." She looked up at her father all doe-eyed and he eventually gave in. Eddie relectantly invited me inside and offered to make me a tea whilst I followed Mia into the living room. She had been determined to get me to play dolls with her. So she sat me down on the carpeted floor and passed me her dolls.

"That's my favourite one, I named her Sarah."

"Sarah that's a pretty name. Why did you call her that?"

Eddie came in shortly afterwards. "Never pinned you for a barbie girl Patricia."

"Very funny Eddie!" I always enjoyed theflirty banter that me and Eddie shared.

"Anyways do you want to talk... in private." He pointed towards the kitchen, so I upped and left the room whilst Eddie had a quick chat with his daughter.

Eddie wasn't gone for long and when he did return he seemed nervous. I noticed him rocking back and forth and the tension in the room was awkward but Eddie didn't waste much time suffering in silence, "So…" Eddie was looking at me but was unsure what to say, "What are you doing here Patricia?" Eddie was being forward with me, it's understandable after what has just happened.

"You see the other night, I was at a party and some guy kissed me. The thing is it wasn't by the guy I first thought."

"Really?"

"Yes really!"

The mood was changing again, "Who told you?" The tension was thick and awkward, Eddie was clearly uncomfortable.

"That's the funny thing; you and Fabian don't kiss the same!"

"What do you mean?"

"Well Fabian has a little bit of washing machine syndrome" It's at that moment, I see Eddie smiling, he's relaxing now.

"I thought you were that Fabian guy now?" He's stressing again, like he doesn't understand what's going on. I need to change the subject, just for the moment anyway.

"So you're a Dad, you never mentioned that." His daughter seems a good topic to get him talking.

"Yeah well it's not something you usual tell the girl your fake dating." I can't tell whether he's joking is being genuine; either way I understand why he never told me. The tension feels awkward so I do the only thing that seems normal and to laugh. Although my laugh isn't like most, it sounds forced. So Eddie breaks the tension, "Look Patricia, I know you must have lots of questions!"

I'm laughing again "You could say that!"

"Where do you want me to start?" I can't believe that Eddie is letting me ask him these questions.

"How about at the beginning?" He nod and tells me to sit comfortably it is going to be a long story.

"Well I met Mia mother Sarah; the women you saw me with the other day when I was holidaying in Greece. Sarah and I were staying in the same hotel in Crete whilst we were holidaying with our parents. We spent nearly every day together and on the last night of the holiday we well you know," He was giving me the look to indicate what he was trying to get at. "Anyways we went our separate way, I went back to America and she went back to Chester. I hadn't heard from her in ages and then three months later she got in touch with me through Facebook telling me she was pregnant. I couldn't believe it, we'd been careful but she said it spilt and that it was mine. I was merely into my adulthood, I just turned eighteen and just been scouted by UCLA but I knew I needed to step up and be the father Mia needed. So I turned down my scholarship and headed over here, that's when I got a job as a delivery man."

"So are you and Sarah…" I see it in his eyes; he knows I've got the wrong end of the stick.

"No no! Patricia, I haven't finished my story. Anyways when I initially came over she and I were together and we were happy. Well I thought we were, due to the pregnancy she hadn't finished school so I knew I had to let her go back after she gave birth to Mia. She went to night school and met someone called Tom and before I knew it they were in love and I wasn't who she wanted anymore. Well we came to a mutual decision that it was over and now she has married Tom. That's why she said you got the wrong end of the stick the other day. The thing is, I only get to see Mia every few weeks so that's why spending time with her is so important and that's why I have to ask what you came here for?" I'm confused I came here for him surely he knows that, after that kiss the other night I could hardly not be here.

"I came here for you, to be with you."

"I come with baggage you know" Does he honestly think being a dad will scare me off. It actually has made me like Eddie more.

"I kinda like your baggage." At this point Eddie is moving towards me, closing the space between us. Then he's cupping my face into his hands, this was the moment I knew he was going to kiss me all over again. Before I knew it, his lips were on mine and it was like our tongues were doing a dance in each other's mouths. The sparks are flying everywhere, the intensity is amzing. But the kiss was over too quickly and I knew in my head there was something I needed to do.

"It's not that wasn't amazing but there is something I need to do. I have to go!"
