"We never really talk about you dad, how are you?" Madison asks taking a bite of her salad

"I am actually good, thanks for asking."

"What about you and your girlfriend. I never see her around at the house or actually ever." She says looking up at him

"She lost the baby then went crazy on me." He says looking away

"Daddy are you okay. How come you never told me?" Madison asks embracing his hand from the otherside

"Madison I just felt like you never liked Bella so me sharing that news with you would be irrelevant."

"Daddy that doesn't matter eventually I was going to have to live with the fact that you have a child on the way and that you loved Bella."

"I'm okay...she moved to Miami and is having a new life." He says while nodding his head

" I-

"Madison?"

Madison looks up and smiles once she sees Dave.

"Oh my gosh, Dave?"

"How are you Madison?" He asks looking between her and her father

"I'm fine, I just had a baby." She smiles

"A baby wow that's big news." He said

"Do you have any pictures?" Dave asks surprisingly

"Yes I do and by the way this is my father Morgan. Dad, this is Dave."

Pleasure to meet you." Dave says shaking Morgan's hand.

"Here he is." Madison says, showing her lockscreen of baby Cairo.

"Wow he doesn't look like you. looks like his father." Dave says knowing for a fact that it's Vito's kid

"Actually he does. He looks exactly like his papa." Madison answers taken back by his response

"So who are you here with?" Madison asks before taking a sip of her water

"I'm with my kids actually." Dave says

"How's Benz treating you? " he asks in reference to the new car he bought her months agos as replacement for her car he hit.

"I left it at a friend's house in New York. I have to go back soon to retrieve all of my stuff."

"I see ,Well It was nice speaking to you congrats on the baby again beautiful." Dave says before nodding his head at Morgan

"Something about that man is fishy." Morgan says shaking his head

"Daddy he's not ,stop it" Madison responds shaking her head before giggling

"He just seems weird and you looked quite surprised by his statement."

"Just a little but everyone knows who Victor is."

"But does everyone know who you are?" Her father asks before shaking his head

"I guess not. "

"Let's go visit your mother's grave." Morgan suggests before taking a sip of his alcohol

"I would love to but I have therapy in an hour. I just wanted to get some lunch with you and catch up."

"So you're officially moving back here?" Morgan asks

"Have no choice. Victor made up his mind already."

"So what about school? This would be your last year?" Morgan questions

"Yes I'll just have to transfer back to the school I was attending before."

"If I transfer now then I'll be able to graduate on time."

"That's great sweet pee. Do you need help with anything with Cairo?" Morgan asks

"No not at all. Victor has been very helpful. Sometimes it feels like he has Cairo more than me."

"Madison you have to remember you're fixing yourself mentally so you're going to need to destress. He's not trying to take Cairo, he's just helping you with your mental space."

" I think he's seeing someone. He asked if he could bring a friend around them and I don't know how to feel. I agreed that he can but I can't help but to feel jealous." She reveals

"You know what can help with the tad bit of jealousy?"

"What?" She responds

"Finding yourself a little friend. He's doing him and you should also. Their is a saying that they say ,wrong person wrong time. In this case it's the right person at the wrong time."

"Daddy I don't know. I'm slowly trying to build myself and take care of Cairo."

"I get what you're saying but you also could use a nice distraction to help you get rid of the blues. The worst thing is to be stuck on someone who has a relati-

"Dad please don't say that word. I might puke"

"Darling I'm telling you, Victor and you are made for each other. The night we met we spoke for hours. He even apologized for not meeting me sooner."

"Well daddy somethings are too good to be true. We aren't even talking right now. The only thing we discuss is Cairo and Layla. If it's not about them then he just flat out doesn't talk to me"

"I won't say it again." Morgan says

"Yes I know I'll get a rebound."

" Now I didn't say get a rebound .With rebounds they catch feelings one sided, If you're not up for that then try looking for someone who you really want to build with."

"I guess I can give it a try." She answers shrugging

"Well I have to get going daddy. My therapist is expecting me soon."

Madison raises from her seat and grabs her purse swinging it over her shoulder. She slides from out of the booth and takes two steps to reach her father.

"Daddy I love you lots."

She places a kiss on his cheek and watches as he lays money on the table.

"Welp I'm going to go take a ride around town. Enjoy your therapy session." He says waving at her

Madison walks into the opposite direction and makes her way outside to her car. Madison phone drops causing her to bend down.

"Oh wow today is a blessed day." A soft and sweet yet deep voice says

"Oh my gosh." She tries grabbing her phone but it slips through her fingers making her bend down yet again to retrieve her phone.

"You didn't have to stand up. I loved the view." The handsome man says wetting his lower bottom lip

"You're a weirdo." Madison says scrunching her face up while unlocking her door.

"Says the beautiful woman who bends down directly in front of me." He compliments making Madison blush on the inside.

"Whatever creep."

She lets out a huff and makes her way to the driver side.

"If I'm a creep that makes every man on this planet earth one." The man says loudly looking at her through her window shield.

Madison's eyes couldn't leave his lips. His lips look well succulent, just marinated in saliva.

Madison shakes her head and watches as the man walks over to the passenger door.

"Could I have your name? I promise I'm not as creepy as you think."

Madison pushes the key into her rental and rolls the window down.

"I'm sorry but I'm not interested." She says leaning her elbow on the centerpiece

"Interested in what exactly? All I asked was for your name."

"Usually when a male asks for a female name after calling her beautiful they tend to ask for her name and number." Madison says still staring at his lips

"Just to be friends I assure you." He says lifting his right hand up

"I have enough friends." Madison responds looking up into his eyes

"Well there's always room for more" the guy says while caressing his short beard

"I'm actually okay with the circle I have." Madison says rolling her window up

The man swiftly puts his hand on the window making the window almost close on his fingers

"OMG WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM!" She screams in shock at his fingers almost getting caught in the window causing her to press the window button down

"Can I please get your name and number beautiful?"

"I- uh- sure." She says still shaken by him earlier

"My name is Madison." She says looking away

"Well Miss Madison can I please get your number,just to be friends of course. There's a party tonight you should come." He says nodding his head

"Look I don't know if you have noticed but you just stuck your hand in my window almost crushing it."

"It wasn't going to drop off. It was just going to be stuck until you let it out." He says shaking it off

"Are you insane?" She asks before chewing on her bottom lip nervously

"You can find out once we're friends, My name is Hassan." He says lowly

"Hello Hassan." She groans laying her pounding head on the steering wheel

"I'm sorry I scared you but If I had missed this opportunity to get to know you I would be highly angry with myself ." Hassan reveals

"Hassan what makes you so sure that I don't have a man?" Madison asks turning her head to make eye contact

"Madison as I said earlier I just want to be friends with you, your the one thinking otherwise." He says leaning his head into the car

"And I know you don't have a man. You entertained me way to long to even have a man." He reveals

"Tonight it's this party tonight and I would love to bring you as my date." He says placing his hand on the top of the car

"I'll think about it." Madison says .

"So can I have your number now?" Hassan says licking over his lips again making Madison melt in the inside

"Give me yours." Madison says

"If I give you mine. You better use it." He says lowly

Madison takes her phone and hands it to him.

"Put it in before I change my mind."

Hassan grabs her phone and begins punching in the numbers.

"Remember beautiful, don't forget to use that number."

Hassan pats at the roof and walks away.

"Good afternoon Mr. Diaz." Madison says meeting her therapist at the door

"Hello lovely Miss Madison. How are you today?" He asks running his long hair over to the side

"I'm great." She answers beaming

"Anything exciting happened today? How's Cairo?"

"He is doing great and I- I got asked out earlier." She says sitting down in her usual spot on a purple bean bag.

"See I knew it was a matter of time ."

"Doctor Diaz honestly I don't know. He's handsome and seems nice but my heart still belongs to Victor. What if me and this guy were to kick it off and we have sex. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't enjoy it. Victor is something different." Madison whines

"How would you know if you never tried. You did mention that Victor is your first everything. You still have time to try out different people, if that's what you'd like."

"So you're saying He isn't the best person I'll have?"

"Madison I'm not saying someone else's stamina is better but their are definitely other men out there in the world that you haven't experienced. "

"Do what you feel like is right. Do you want to go out with him?"

"He wants me to go to a party with him tonight but I'm supposed to pick Cairo up tonight from his father's."

"So what do you want to do?"

"I really don't know yet." Madison answers chewing on her lip
