The Next Day

I wake up to my alarm clock.

I groan, it's so early.

I walk into Lily's room and wake her up. Mom has yoga, bookclub and library duty today so she has to go to daycare.

"Lily, Lily." I gently shake her.

Her eyes flutter open and she smiles when she notices me.

"Hi baby, time to get up."

I pick her up and take her to the kitchen and make her breakfast.

I spoon feed her.

I then get her dressed.

When she's ready I set her in front of the t.v with some toys.

I go get dressed myself.

I check my emails.

1 from Maria.

I'm going to need you to pick up some files from John's house, by 8:15 you need to collect them.

I gather the things I need, including my child, and go to my car.

I put Lily in her car seat and drive to her childcare.

I take her in and leave her.

I then drive off to John's apartment.

I get to his apartment and it's 8:12. I hope I make it in time.

I knock on the door.

The door opens but it's not John, it's Justin.

"Justin? What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same question."

"I have to pick up some files, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to talk to John about the shots app. He had to leave but told me someone was coming to get some files, I guess that's you."

"That would be me." I laugh.

"Small world hey?"

"You have no idea."

"Come in. Files are on that table."

"Thanks." I look at them. "Wow, she didn't tell me how many there are."

"Do you need help carrying them?"

"Yes please, if you're not busy."

"I'm free."

There's 7. I take 3 and Justin takes 4.

We both make it to the car successfully.

I pop the boot and we put them in there.

"Thanks."

"No problem." He scratches his neck. "So you're still not free anytime soon?"

"I'm afraid not, sorry. I wish I was." I sigh.

He nods his head. He looks into the car.

"Oh, do you have a kid?"

Shit. He must have seen the car seat.

"Yeah, I do."

"Girl or boy?"

"Girl."

"I bet she looks adorable." He smiles.

"She does."

"So that's why you don't have anytime."

"Yeah that and work."

"If you need money-"

"No, I don't take charity, thanks though."

"You sure, I don't mind."

"I do mind, I wouldn't take advantage of someone like that."

"How?"

"I'm sorry?" I ask confused.

"How are you like this? Most people would ask for money from me and not need it. Then there's you. You work your ass of at a shitty job and could use money yet decline any form of help."

"I think people have to make their own living in life and not rely on other people."

I get a text. Maria.

Have you gotten the files? Don't forget the coffee. And hurry up!

"Shoot, I have to go."

"Will I see you again?"

"Maybe."

"I don't mind coming over and helping out sometime. I would love to actually."

"I don't know, maybe, I'll think about it." I open my car door. "I'll see you, some time."

"Bye."

I drive off to the coffee shop and start my usual day.

Thoughts? Anyway to improve? I fell like I say I too much but I don't know how to stop.

Please help promote this story in any way you can I'd really appreciate it.

BTW I probably won't update the imagines book tonight, I haven't wrote anything I might but I'm kinda blank.
