Request for @izabelmitchell !
"It was a one night stand and then we never saw each other again." I said to my friend who was sitting across from me in our local coffee shop, cooing at Jenna in her stroller.
"Well that doesn't make this okay. You're a single mother Izabel, you could use the extra help." I groaned, taking a sip of my drink.
"I don't need help. Besides, I highly doubt he'd want to help out. He's out in the world living his best life and I don't want to swoop in and ruin his flow." She rolled her eyes and stared at me with an annoyed expression on her face. I sighed and spoke again.
"He probably won't even reply." I muttered, keeping my gaze on my drink.
"Then what's the harm in messaging him?" I sighed and took out my phone. I mean, she has a point.
I pulled up his account on Instagram and got a message ready. Surprisingly, he still followed me. I typed up a quick message and read it out loud to my friend.
"izabelmitchell:
Hey Noah! I'm sure you don't remember me but we hooked up about a year ago. Now normally I would say that it's weird that I remember that but, you see, something was kind of created because of that haha. Um so long story short, we kind of have a baby together. Get back to me if you can/want to. Uh...bye."
"That was so awkward. Send it!" I pushed send and put my phone face down on the table.
"I don't know why I'm so nervous. It's not like he's even gonna message back let alone read it-" My phone buzzing cut me off. I took a gulp and picked it up, turning it around to see I got a notification that Noah replied.
"I can't-I can't read his reply." I stuttered, going to put my phone back down before my friend grabbed it.
"Holy shit." She snickered, handing my phone over to me. "You're gonna want to read this." I grabbed my phone and read the message.
'ncentineo:
Izabel? Wow, I don't even know what to say. I honestly thought I would never hear from you again, I'm glad I did though. I have to film but I get next week off. Do you think I could fly down to meet up with you?'
I smiled to myself and went to reply to him.
'izabelmitchell
I'd love that. I'll message you my information later.'
4 years later
"Jenna! Jenna it's time for lunch." I yelled, walking through my house to try and find the 4 year old girl.
I went into her room. Nothing. I went to my room. Nothing. She wasn't in the bathroom. She wasn't in the backyard. Where was she? I was about to panic when I heard a little giggle coming from the closet in the main hallway. I smiled and walked over, pulling the door open and coming face to face with my two bundles of joy.
"There you are!" I cheered, grabbing her and spinning her in the air. She giggled before I put her down and knelt in front of her with a big smile on my face.
"You silly mommy." She giggled, wrapping her arms around my neck.
"You walked past us so many times. She was having a hard time holding in her laughs." I smiled at him and stood up, her wrapping her legs around my waist.
"Ya, thanks for that Noah. I was about to have a heart attack." I laughed, him giving me a sheepish smile.
"Sorry, we just couldn't help ourselves." I pulled him close and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Now, who's hungry for some lunch?" I asked, Jenna throwing her hands in the air from excitement. She is so my daughter.
I made my way to the kitchen and sat her down in her chair before grabbing her sandwich and placing it in front of her. I grabbed the ones I made for Noah and I and sent one his way.
"Thank you my lady." He grinned, sending me a wink.
"Anything for you." I replied, turning to look at Jenna who was happily eating away.
I started to eat but Noah's talking interrupted my mind from being 100% entrapped in my food.
"I'm so glad you sent me that message all those years back." He mumbled mostly to himself but I heard him. Boy I'm glad I heard him.
"Me too." I mumbled back, taking a big bite of my sandwich and smiling at him, him smiling back.
"All done!" Jenna cheered, pleased with herself for finishing in such a short amount of time. She got Noah's looks, his personality, his everything but she sure as hell got my love of food.
