I just arrived on time and Sachie was in her panic mode. I guess she forgot to prepare her things the night before. I hope Kenji isn't giving her a hard time. When I went out from work the skies was too dark and it seems like rain is going to pour out any time soon. I mentally made a note to remind Sachie to bring her umbrella. But the moment I saw her so in a hurry as she handed me the baby, I totally forgot the umbrella thing. When I finally remembered Sachie was already on the door and I shouted, "Bring your umbrella!" hoping she would have heard me and come back but the door remained quiet.
'Oh boy that girl is such in a hurry' I sighed. I thought of going outside and bring her the umbrella but this little boy on my arms is giving this strange smell. Looks like this baby pooped and I know now why she was in a panic mode. Maybe she was contemplating between cleaning Kenji or getting late for work. I let out a chuckle.
After cleaning Kenji and changed his diapers we went inside my room. I smiled at the thought of having my own room in Sachie's flat. I placed Kenji on the other side of the bed that was on the wall and I laid beside him. I placed both of my hands on the back of my head.
"You know Kenji, I bought a baby car seat last night before going to work." I sat up and faced the little one. An idea suddenly crossed my mind. "Hey little one! Would you like to invite Mommy for dinner?" I poked his tummy and he let out some sounds. "Okay! later we'll try on your new baby seat" I grinned. Looks like Sachie is in for a big surprise.

I placed Kenji on the baby seat and then made sure that it was secure before transferring on the driver's seat. I carefully drove to Sachie's workplace, thankfully there's enough space for parking for my car. I took the stroller out first, took the baby bag and then transferred the sleeping baby in to it. Maybe Kenji got dizzy with the ride that he fell asleep while on the road.
Sachie's working is one of the tallest building here in the city, I think it has 70 floors and I forgot which floor is she working in. My work is near the biggest mall in Asia, rather, part of the complex. This building is very nice because it has a lobby for waiting people to sit in. I approached the couch and sat on the other side so I can put the stroller beside it with. We were one hour early before Sachie's work is over so we won't miss Sachie as she went out of the building. I also made sure that I could see people going in and out in my position.
Kenji woke up and then cried so I immediately picked him up from his stroller and placed him on my arms. I dressed Kenji in his blue jumper shorts with a plain white shirt inside paired with a blue socks. I also wore a blue shirt because I saw Sachie wearing something blue also today. We have matching colors today. Then I thought of the day where both of us would wear matching outfits. Oh yeah I remembered Christmas is fast approaching. Then the sudden thought of both them leaving for the holidays because Sachie would like to spend time with here family and of course she would bring Kenji with her. You know at times like these I can't imagine a day without the both them. I sighed while looking at this blue eyed boy who's staring at me and smiling at the same time. Maybe this baby could read my mind, he knew I had worries and he knew his smile would ease it away. Should I consider myself getting a girlfriend sooner or later? The thought of embracing someone, leaning on her shoulders and doing things together now crosses my mind.
As I saw a lot of people passing by, I noticed the familiar blue blouse and black skirt slowly coming its way. Then slowly, the lady wearing this outfit was slowly coming into my view. Who could forgot those familiar eyes with a pointed nose. Her hair shoulder length hair was tied from behind. She was looking forward and I bet she hasn't noticed us so I stood up right away upon recognizing it as her and then approached her. I blocked her way with Kenji on my arms which made her to halt her steps. She tilted her head sideways and I bet she's wondering if we are really here right now. She started working slowly and her forehead is creased as she mouthed with a surprised but puzzled expression on her face, "What are you doing here?"
I smiled and I as looked at Kenji he was giving us a smile seeing her mom slowly coming onto us. We only like had a five feet distance but why does it seem that far. Everything was so slow and its like there's only the three of us. Everything faded as my attention was only focused on her. By the moment she was in front of me she kissed held Kenji's hand and kissed him with her mouth closed but only here nose touching the baby's cheeks. While still holding the baby's hand she looked at me and asked me again, "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be preparing for work?" I can see happiness in here eyes upon seeing us but at the same time I can sense that she's worried that I abandoned work just to see her. Then I realized that I wanted to see her. I wanted to spend more time with her. I wanted to spend more time with them.
Feeling dazed at the moment. I asked, "Would you like to have dinner with me?"
