Lydia pov
It's been a few weeks since the whole horse incident. I felt terrible but daddy felt worse for not listening. Although I don't blame him since I was being bratty. I was playing with Nigel whislt waiting for my Ballet teacher. She was late and that was very uncommon for miss marie. Daddy walked in my study room from his office
"Where's miss marie?" He asked sitting down. I was on the floor trying to teach Nigel how to roll over
"I don't know. She was supposed to be here 7 minutes and 27 seconds ago" I replied
"That's precise"
"She's a very punctual woman. Well normally. Do you think somethings happened?" Asked worried.
"I'm sure she's fine. I'll give her a call now" he said walking off.

F: Hi is that Miss Marie?
M: It is
F: It's Mr shelby. I was just checking you're OK? Lydia is worrying
M: tell her thank you for her concern but I'm just fine. Although I won't be able to make it to the lesson and I'm sorry for that. I'm afraid a family member if mine is very ill
F: I'll tell her. Thank you and I hope they are well soon
I hung the phone and up and walked over to Lydia. I lifted her up onto my knee and Nigel tried to jump up bit bit swatted him down
"Miss marie says thank you for your concern and she's sorry but she can't make it to the lesson. Family emergency" i explained.
"Oh OK. So what do I do now then?" She asked
"Whatever you want. I'm afraid I have work to do sweetheart" I said putting her on her feet and going to leave
"Daddy, can we take Nigel for a walk?" She asked
"Honey I have work like I said" she pouted and quivered her lip
"Please Daddy" she begged hugging my waist and looking up at me
"Fuck. Fine. Go get your shoes and coat on" I told her. She beamed brightly and ran to go get her coat. I got the dog lead and clipped it on Nigels collar.
"Ready?" I asked holding my hand out. She grabbed my hand and nodded. We walked out of the house and went into the fields behind our home. It was very open and Lydia was running infront. I bent down to Nigels level
"Now don't get messy please. Stay out of the mud. I'm trusting you" I said sternly to the dog who just yapped at me. I took his lead off and let him and Rose run wild. As i jogged over the hill to catch up with her and not lose sight, I saw a woman also chasing after her son and dog. Lydia and the boy met in the middle and began talking but I was too far away to hear. The dogs ran and began doing something they really shouldn't
"Shit" I screamed running towards the publicly traumatising dogs. Me and the woman pried the dogs off one another and when she stood up, only then did I notice her beauty.
"Erm...h...er"
"What he means to say is you're very pretty" Lydia told the woman. She chuckled and looked at the kids who were both smiling widely
"I'm Vanessa Johnson. But please call me Nessa" she introduced
"Finn shelby" I told her. I expected her then to make up and excuse and leave. Grab her son and go. But instead she simply smiled and looked into my eyes
"Mum, can me and Lydia have a play date together?" The boy asked
"I'm fine with that if finn is" she said looking at me. I bent down to the kids height
"So whats your name?" I asked
"Dan and I'm 6 years old" he said proudly making me smile
"Well you're a big boy then aren't ya" I said
"I'm the tallest in my class" he stated happily
"Why don't you come back to ours and play with Lydia" I said
"Can we mum please" he begged turning to Nessa
"I don't see why not" she said smiling. We got the leads of the dog on. Me and Nessa walked side by side as the kids ran infront playing with one another
"Do you know who I am?" I asked curious as to why she didn't run at the sound of my name
"I know what you do for work finn. But I am yet to know you" she said
"Isn't my line of work enough to make you take your son and run" I said. She laughed and shook her head
"Your work doesn't define who you are. And your family don't control how you treat people. So far I have no reason to believe you are any threat" she told me. God she had the most gorgeous smile.
"And Dan is by blood my brother. He just calls me mum because I raised him. But I like to think of myself as his mother" she added.
"I admire you for that" i told her making her blush. We walked the rest of the way home and entered the house. I poured a cup of tea for myself and Nessa whilst the kids had milk. They ran around the house screaming and laughing whilst I sat on the sofa opposite to Nessa, admiring her gorgeousness
"Daddy, can we play with the dogs?" Lydia asked as he and Dan ran over to us
"Sure honey. Feel free to let him off the lead" I told nessa referring to her dog. We both let the dogs off and they ran around with the kids
"You're very pretty" I told her. She looked down but I still saw the blush on her cheeks
"That's very kind Finn. You're quite handsome yourself" she said. I was now the one blushing
"Do you think maybe you would like to go on a date with me?" I asked
"I would like that very much" she replied. We stared into eachothers eyes before the kids came running in and sat on our knees
"Are you going on a date?" Dan asked us red in the face from running
"If that's alright with you" nessa said to him. He looked at Lydia and they high fived before running off again
"I think they set us up" I said watching the kids
"Well I'm glad they did. I best be getting back" she said standing up
"OK. How about i take you dancing?" I suggested
"I love dancing" she said
"Good because I'm shit at it. You can give me some pointers" I told her making her laugh
"I'll pick you up Friday night at 7. What's your address?" i asked. She told me the address and just before the kids walked in, she kissed me on the cheek
"Thank you finn. I enjoyed talking with you. See you friday" she said
"Thanks finn" Dan said. I ruffled his hair and he walked over to Lydia

"You know if they get married then you could be my sister" Dan whispered in my ear
"That would be so cool. You gotta help your mum choose a really pretty dress. And I'll help my dad wear a nice suit for the date. If I don't help then he will fall apart" I said
"That's understandable" he agreed as we turned to watch my father stutter just talking to a woman
"Bye dan" I said hugged him
"Bye lyd"
