Enough love

02.

I finally walk into the classroom. Isabelle automatically sees me and runs into my arms.

(?) "Are you her brother?"
(Blake) "No, I'm her father"
(?) "Oh sorry I'm Ethan and I'm really stupid at times"

He smiled awkwardly before walking away shaking his head.
I watch him for a moment until Isabelle tugs on my shirt.
I get down before listening to her.

(Isabelle) "Daddy you come back"
(Blake) "Of course I couldn't leave my princess all alone"

She giggles before running off to be a model.
I watch Isabelle but my eyes always wander toward Ethan. After Ethan finishes his pictures and shakes the teacher's hand. All of the kids run up to him.

(Ethan) "Of course your all princess and of course princes"

He smiles big at them and Isabelle runs back to me.

(Isabelle) "Daddy Ethan says me a Princess"
(Blake) "I am baby.. you very well are a princess"

She smiles at me and restates her sentence correctly. I smile at her and kiss her cheek.

Ethan comes back toward me and smiles softly.

(Ethan) "I wanted to say sorry about assuming things"
( Blake) "It's fine most people think she is my sister. I know I am young"

I smile at him and I see his cheeks become slightly pink. He looks down and nods.

(Blake) "Your a photographer right?"
(Ethan) "Yeah I'm just a student still though"
(Blake) "Well I was wondering if you would be willing to do a photo shoot with Isabelle and me for my family"
(Ethan) "Yeah definitely. Here is my number just let me know when"

I nod a look down at the number placed in my hand. I give a small smile.

(Blake) "Thank you."
(Ethan) "No problem. You know you're cute when you smile. You should smile more."

I smile slightest awkwardly.

(Ethan) "Haha like I said before I'm really stupid at times."

I smile and tell him it's okay.
