After Kayleigh left for work it was just me and Haley so we watched 'The Notebook', I have a day off so I have to go grocery shopping today. I still remember those days like it was yesterday, Kay called me up telling me that she is going back to LA and never setting her foot in NY ever again. I had rushed to the airport to meet her, there she stood with her eyes swollen and face red from all the crying. I never asked her what happened because I know it definitely had something to do with that rich bugger 'Edward Raines', he is known for breaking hearts of like million women. We tried to convince her to stay back but she went against it. After spending three days in LA, she came back and took a different job and it is very obvious she is trying to hide from Edward. When we found out she was pregnant, I was shock that she was willing to take the risk of raising a child on her own without taking help from her parents, I supported her with the decision not because she was left alone or she was in trouble but she was the most wonderful person I have ever known and she deserves all the happiness. I take care of Haley when she is at work in evening so that time I stay at home so we can take turns watching Haley. We didn't want Haley to grow up with a stranger so we decided to work different shifts.
After watching the movie I fed Haley and myself; handed her, her fav panda toy 'booboo', she loves booboo more than anything. I finished my chores and dressed Haley in a bumblebee onesie and changed in to a grey t-shirt and denim shorts. I tucked her in her stroller with her booboo and made our way to the super market.She is the best kid I have ever known, it's like she understands her mommy so well, she never fusses always excited about everything in a way, she is just like Kayleigh. She got her looks from her dad but her charms are definitely from Kayleigh. I took my phone, keys and purse, after sending a text to Kayleigh to notifying her that we are going grocery shopping. We went to a supermarket which is just down the lane and took all the things which we needed, we came out of the store and we were walking when a guy wearing a hood approached me, I have seen him quite a few times in the supermarket. He was talking to me and while Haley was in the stroller behind me; he was asking me out on a date. I was left dumbstruck because the guy was very gorgeous and his smile was amazing, I declined saying that I have a daughter and I have to look after her and she is with me. He asked me where is my daughter and I turned to see no stroller than I looked around the road and saw that the stroller was on the middle of the road and a truck was coming in speed. A scream escaped my mouth and I closed my eyes. After a couple of seconds I opened my eyes to see a man in blazer saving her, Hailey was looking at her with so much love and she was smiling and jumping in her seat to go to him. Tears started streaming from my eyes realising I was just about to loose her. I ran to her and pulled her in my embrace as I sobbed. The man who saved her started scolding, "What kind of mother are you? you just left your child to die while flirting with a man, women like you don't even deserve to be a mother!"
I wiped my tears and opened my mouth to shut him but words refused to come out so I muttered him thanks and started walking towards our apartment with the stroller. I reached home and quickly dialled Kayleigh's number but then it went to voicemail so I decided I will not tell her about today's incident over the phone, Let her come home and I will confess everything.

I woke up in the morning and saw a girl sleeping on the other side of my bed but I don't remember anything. I ran my hand through my hair letting out a frustrated sigh. I tried to wake the girl up but she didn't respond. So I emptied the jug of water on her face and she jerked up with a curse. I pointed towards the door and said, "Get out!" her mouth was wide open in shock and terror "whatttt? We had so much fun last night and you told me that you are taking me on a date. Now all of a sudden you are telling me to get out ?"
I got more furious with her words, I never ask any girl on a date 'for crying out loud I haven't hooked up any women or been on a date, she was clearly lying! Seeing that I don't remember anything there's a possibility she might have drugged me!' I composed myself from lashing out, "I said get out don't you understand english? Look whatever your name is, I am sure nothing happened. I will not sue you for what you did so here is some cash to get a cab!" I said handing her a 100 dollar bill. She got up from the bed furiously and took her dress and wore it in a second and took her heels and reached towards door and turned." and yaa, my name is not Kayleigh or Stella. It's Josephine, you jerk!" with that she closed the door. I cursed under my breath and threw the pillow. I again took her name, when will I move on. I HATE HER!
I got dressed and went to my office it was going to be a really busy day today not that I get anytime for myself but I am not complaining. I quickly took a shower and wore a grey blazer with a white dress shirt and grey pants. Around 12, I was outside a restaurant talking to one of my clients over the phone and my other clients were already inside the restaurant waiting for me. I was busy talking over the phone when I saw a man talking to a lady and a baby stroller was slipping towards the middle of the road because of the slope and there was a child inside and smiling at me I shifted my gaze towards left and saw a truck coming in speed. I threw the phone and ran towards the stroller and moved it in the side. My heart was in my mouth, I looked at the baby she was so adorable and smiling from ear to ear there was not an inch of fear on her face like nothing happened at all! The baby was jumping in her seat as if she was telling me to lift her up. I looked at the lady, who had tears in her eyes. She looked like a single woman and here she was flirting with a man ignoring her child. I scolded her without even having a second thought, how can she even avoid a cute baby girl like her. She was taken back by my words so she lifted the baby and went away. I asked the man if she knew her but he said that she declined his date because she wants to give time to her baby! I was in shock but I don't care if she was hurt by my words. I don't care about women anymore, I couldn't take care of the woman whom I should have so now no one matters. The entire day that baby's face came in to my mind, she was so gorgeous. She reminded me of someone but I couldn't put my finger on it!
