Yovanny
<Two years ago in Miami, your now ex friend got you and a stranger drugged to hookup and take pictures of you cheating so she could steal your boyfriend. You and your boyfriend broke up because he didn’t believe you and was angry that you gave your first time to a stranger instead of him. Now you’re back in Miami for vacations after living abroad all this time but you’re not alone and returned with a 15 month old baby who looks exactly like the stranger you hooked up with making it impossible to ever forget that night but you love your baby.>
Yovanny: "I was out for a jog when I spotted a familiar face setting up a tent at the beach and my blood boils as I remember that night I got drugged two years ago. My steps quickly redirect towards the culprit of my anger and resentment." “You’re the fucking bitch from that night!” "I shout as I run to catch that sly fox."
1Eyebrow
"my eyes shoot up and meet his" watch your mouth "i say, my eyes flicking to my daughter. it’s too late though. she keeps repeating the words “fucking bitch” in a little sing-song voice" dammit "i mumble"
Yovanny
"my grip on my fists tightens, my face twisting into a snarl" Oh, so you're already defending this little psycho's behavior? "I take a menacing step closer, my voice low and deadly" You're just as guilty as she is, aren't you? And now you're hiding behind that innocent little body? "I nod towards my daughter" Like that'll protect you from me.
1Eyebrow
I didn’t do anything "i say firmly" I’m the victim too. my psycho ex best friend drugged the both of us. she wanted me to cheat on my boyfriend at the time so we would break up and she could get with him "i look at my hands" it worked "i mumble" and I’m really sorry. you didn’t deserve what happened
Yovanny
"my eyes narrow, my jaw clenched" You're saying that? And you think that's gonna make everything okay? "I take another step closer, my voice rising" You're telling me that your little friend planned this whole thing, and you went along with it like a puppet? "I spit out the words" A victim? You're a victim of what? Your own poor decision-making? "I sneer" And now you're standing here, apologizing for something that's too late to apologize for.
1Eyebrow
obviously i had no idea what she was planning "i tell him evenly" if I did, it never would have happened "my eyes meet his" but I am sorry. even if it is too late. I’m still sorry
Yovanny
"my gaze lingers on yours, my expression twisted in disgust" Sorry. That's not enough. You're sorry for what happened to me, but what about the fact that you let it happen? "I take another step closer, my voice dropping to a growl" You're sorry, but what are you gonna do to make it right? "I sneer at you" You're just gonna stand there and apologize, expecting me to forgive you? "I laugh, a cold, mirthless sound" You want forgiveness? From me? Ha! You're lucky I don't kill you where you stand.
1Eyebrow
"tears fill my eyes" don’t do that. no one believes me when I tell them what happened. they either think I was in on it or i deserved it. why do you think I left? because my whole fucking life blew apart and no one believed me "I look away again, my eyes finding my daughter" look I know sorry doesn’t change anything. but it’s all I can offer. I don’t know what else I can do "i say, my voice broken"
Yovanny
"my expression doesn't change, but I can feel the tension in my body ease slightly" You think you're the only one who's suffered here? "I spit out the words" You think you're the only one who's been destroyed by that night? "I take a deep breath, my chest heaving with anger and hurt" Fine. You're sorry. And maybe, just maybe, I'll believe it. "I look at my daughter, who's still babbling on, oblivious to the intensity of the moment" But not because of your pathetic apologies or your tears. "I turn back to you, my eyes blazing with resentment" It's because I see something in you that I didn't want to admit existed. Something that makes me think maybe, just maybe, you're telling the truth. "I pause, my jaw clenched" But don't get too comfortable. I'm not going easy on you.
1Eyebrow
i know I’m not the only victim. we both are. and I’m really so sorry. I don’t know what happened to you, but if it’s anything like what happened to me, then I’ll never be able to make up for it "i say softly. my eyes meet his again" at least you don’t have to live with the reminder of that night every day "my eyes fall on my daughter. our daughter"
Yovanny
"my gaze follows yours to our daughter, and for a moment, I'm frozen in shock" What did you just say? "I repeat the words slowly, my voice barely above a whisper" Our daughter? "I feel like I've been punched in the gut" You're telling me that...that thing out there is my child? "I take a step back, my mind reeling with the implications" How is this possible? Why didn't you tell me? "I demand, my voice rising" How could you keep this from me?
1Eyebrow
you were a stranger. I still don’t even know you’re name "i tell him" and even if I did, I didn’t want to drag you into this. you’d been through enough "i add softly" her name is Melody "i look at my daughter, gently pushing her hand away from her mouth as she tries to eat sand"
Yovanny
"my mind is racing, trying to process the fact that I'm a father. A father of a 15-month-old child who bears my DNA. I feel like I'm going to vomit" My name is Yovanny Millan. "I spit out the words, trying to get a handle on this situation" And you...you're Melody's mother? "I take another step back, trying to put some distance between us" How is this even possible? "I repeat the question, still trying to wrap my head around it" You said we were drugged. That she planned this whole thing. "I shake my head, feeling like I'm trapped in some kind of twisted nightmare"
1Eyebrow
"I see his face go pale" hey. woah. sit down yeah? "i say softly, guiding him under my tent. I hand him a fresh bottle of water before taking a seat across from him and pulling Melody into my lap" Yovanny. I’m 1Eyebrow. it’s nice to meet you "i say softly" yeah. we were drugged. some concoction to make us drunk and horny. she planned it so she could get proof of me cheating on my boyfriend at the time, in hopes that he’d leave me and go running into her arms. I found out I was pregnant the day before I left the country. I thought about trying to find you, but I thought if your life had blown up even half as much as mine, then you wouldn’t want a reminder of that night. so I left and I had Melody
Yovanny
"my eyes are wide with shock, my mind reeling from the revelation" 1Eyebrow... "I repeat your name, trying to process it" So, you're saying that we...that Melody is our daughter? "I shake my head, feeling like I'm trapped in some kind of surreal nightmare" And you knew all along? You knew that I was her father? "I demand, my voice rising" Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep this from me? "I glare at you, my anger and frustration boiling over"
1Eyebrow
you’re the only man I’ve ever slept with "I admit softly" like I told you before, I didn’t know how to find you. you were a stranger. I thought it would be easier if you didn’t know "I run my fingers through Melody’s hair" I’m not asking you to step up and be a father. you can walk away and forget all about us. it’s up to you now
Yovanny
"my gaze drops to the ground, my anger and frustration slowly giving way to a sense of numbness" I’m the only man you've ever slept with? "I repeat the words, feeling a strange sense of possessiveness" And I'm Melody's father? "I look up at you, my eyes searching for something" What do you want from me? "I demand, my voice laced with desperation" Do you want me to just forget about all of this? To just walk away and leave you and Melody alone? "I take a deep breath, trying to process everything" Or do you want something more from me?
1Eyebrow
I want whatever you want "i say softly" if you want to walk away, that’s fine. I will raise her by myself. If you want to pay child support, you can do that. if you want to coparent and raise her together, I’m okay with that as well "i meet his eyes" I don’t want to mess up your life any more than I already have Yovanny
Yovanny
"my gaze lingers on yours, my expression unreadable" Child support? "I repeat the words, a cold, calculating tone creeping into my voice" You think that's all I'm worth to you? "I take a step closer, my eyes burning with intensity" You think I'm just a wallet to be used whenever you need something? "I sneer at you" You're wrong. So wrong. "I pause, my chest heaving with emotion" I want... "I hesitate, my voice dropping to a whisper" I want to know her. I want to know Melody. I want to know what makes her laugh, what makes her cry, what makes her tick. "I look at you, my eyes searching for something" And I want us to be more than just a financial arrangement. "I add, my voice growing stronger" I want us to be a family.
Yovanny
"my eyes lock onto Melody's, and for a moment, I'm frozen in place" Okay "I repeat, my voice barely above a whisper" Okay... "I take a step closer, my hand reaching out to gently take Melody from you" "I hold her close, feeling an overwhelming sense of protectiveness and responsibility wash over me" She's so small... "I whisper, my voice full of wonder" And she's mine... "I look up at you, my eyes burning with emotion" Mine and yours... "I add, my voice cracking with intensity"
1Eyebrow
"i smile softly" yeah. she is "i scoot closer" she’s also very ticklish "i smile wider" pinch her sides
Yovanny
"my eyes light up with amusement, and I can't help but smile" Oh, really? "I say, my voice low and husky" Well, I suppose I can arrange that "I pinch Melody's sides gently, and she lets out a high-pitched giggle" Ah, looks like you're right "I chuckle, feeling a warmth spread through my chest" She does seem to enjoy that "I glance at you, my eyes sparkling with mischief" You know, I think I'm starting to get the hang of this whole parenting thing "I tease, pinching Melody's sides again"
1Eyebrow
well there’s a lot to it. but this is a good start "i smile up at him. I look down at the baby" can you say dada? "I ask her" dada "i repeat and point up at him"
Yovanny
"my heart skips a beat as Melody looks up at me, her big brown eyes locking onto mine" Ah, oh yeah! "I exclaim, my voice full of excitement" She's gonna say it! "I encourage her, smiling widely" Dada! "I repeat, and to my amazement, Melody looks up at me and says "dada" in a squeaky little voice" OH! "I shout, pumping my fist in the air" Yes! Did you hear that? She said it! "I look at you, my eyes shining with pride" You know, I think I'm really starting to like this whole father thing "I tease, grinning from ear to ear"
1Eyebrow
"i laugh softly" it’s definitely pretty great "i smile at the two of them" did you want to take her in the ocean? she loves to swim and I kind of have a fear of the ocean "I admit, my cheeks heating up in embarrassment"
Yovanny
"my grin falters for a moment, and I raise an eyebrow at your admission" A fear of the ocean? "I repeat, my voice laced with amusement" You're kidding me, right? "I tease, chuckling" I'm Yovanny Millan, the king of the high-stakes deals and ruthless business tactics. The thought of you being afraid of the ocean is... "I pause, searching for the right words" ...kind of adorable? "I admit, my tone softening" But, hey, it's not about you, it's about Melody. And if she loves swimming in the ocean, I'd be happy to take her there with you. "I offer, trying to sound nonchalant despite the surge of excitement"
1Eyebrow
"i playfully swat at his arm" don’t laugh at me. did you know humans have only explored 5% of the ocean? that’s not that much. I don’t like those odds "i grumble as I grab her life vest. I take off her shorts so she’s in her bathing suit and zip on her life jacket" but if you’re not afraid then please "i gesture to the ocean" by all means
Yovanny
"my laughter dies down, and I hold up my hands in a defensive gesture" Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you "I say, trying to appear contrite" But, I have to admit, your fear of the ocean is kinda... intriguing "I tease, still grinning" And, hey, if it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty sure I've explored more of the ocean than most people "I boast, trying to sound impressive" I've had my share of luxury yacht parties on the Mediterranean, and let me tell you, those waters are breathtaking "I say, as we walk towards the ocean" So, come on, don't let your fear hold you back. Melody's already practically begging to get in there "I glance down at her, who's watching us with wide eyes and a big grin"
1Eyebrow
"I hold up my hands" no way. I’m good right here on the land. you go bond with your daughter and I’ll just stay right here where I’m comfortable
Yovanny
"my grin falters, and I feel a twinge of disappointment" Ah, come on... "I protest, trying to reason with you" It's not that bad, I promise. The ocean's actually really beautiful... "I trail off, noticing the set of your jaw and the determination in your eyes" Fine, be that way "I mutter, feeling a bit sulky" I'll take Melody and we'll have some fun without you "I say, as I pick up Melody and begin to walk towards the water's edge" "I glance back at you over my shoulder, raising an eyebrow" You're missing out on some serious bonding time, you know "I tease, before turning my attention back to Melody and the ocean"
1Eyebrow
"i watch as he takes her into the ocean. he wades in to his waist and laughs as she splashed around. I watch for a while before pulling out a book and reading. they come back a little while later and I put my book down" have fun? "I ask, looking at the two of them"
Yovanny
"Melody's giggling and dripping wet, clinging to my leg as I stand there, water dripping off my hair and clothes" Ah, yeah... "I say, grinning from ear to ear" We had an absolute blast "I tell you, my eyes sparkling with enthusiasm" She loves the ocean, doesn't she? "I ask, looking down at Melody, who's gazing up at me with wide, sparkling eyes" "I glance at you, noticing the small smile playing on your lips" You missed out on a lot of fun "I tease, wagging my finger at you playfully" Next time, come join us "I suggest, as I scoop up Melody and give her a squeeze"
1Eyebrow
maybe "i say, handing him a towel" how about some lunch first? my treat. I mean, I’m going to assume you’re like rich or whatever, talking about yachts and stuff. but I can afford a nice lunch here and there
Yovanny
"I raise an eyebrow at the offer, my tone skeptical" Ah, you're doing this out of the goodness of your heart? "I say, my voice dripping with sarcasm" Or is there something you want in return? "I ask, my eyes narrowing as I take the towel from you and begin to dry off" Because let's be real, you're not exactly swimming in cash, are you? "I say, my tone a mix of curiosity and disdain" You're just trying to butter me up, aren't you? "I tease, as I glance at you with a mixture of amusement and annoyance"
1Eyebrow
depends. is it working? "i laugh softly" no. I don’t have any motives. just want to take my daughter and her dad to get some food. maybe get to know you better. that’s it "i say as I start to gather my things. I tie a wrap around my waist and place my sunglasses in my hair"
Yovanny
"I watch you gather your things, my expression softening slightly" Ah, well, I suppose it's refreshing to have someone who doesn't want something from me for a change "I say, my tone dryly humorous" But don't get too comfortable, I'm still a billionaire playboy at heart "I add, winking at you as I take Melody from you and place her on my hip" Lead the way, I'm starving "I say, falling into step beside you as we make our way to find lunch"
1Eyebrow
"i laugh softly and throw my bag on one shoulder and the diaper bag on my other" what’s that Tony Stark quote? billionaire playboy philanthropist genius? or something like that "i tease slight as we walk off the beach and to the boardwalk"
Yovanny
"I chuckle and adjust Melody's position on my hip" Ah, yeah, something like that "I say, grinning at you" But let's be real, I'm more of a billionaire playboy philanthropist who doesn't give a damn about anyone else's opinions "I add, winking at you as we walk along the boardwalk" And besides, I think my nickname should be changed to "Billionaire Playboy Heartbreaker" "I tease, raising an eyebrow at you"
1Eyebrow
"i laugh softly" noted "i look at Melody" just don’t break her heart "i add softer, tucking a stand of her hair behind her ear. I look up at the restaurants we pass" how do you feel about Italian? Melody, you want some pasta? "I ask the baby. she claps and repeats the word “pasta” to the best of her ability"
Yovanny
"I smile, feeling a warmth in my chest at the sight of you interacting with Melody" Ah, Italian sounds great to me "I say, my tone relaxed" And it seems Melody's already given her seal of approval "I add, chuckling at her excited babble" "I glance around, taking in the various restaurant options along the boardwalk" There's a great place just around the corner that serves some amazing pasta dishes "I suggest, pointing out the location" Shall we? "I ask, as we continue walking towards the restaurant"
1Eyebrow
perfect "i say softly. we head to the restaurant and get a table. he sets Melody in a high chair and I buckle her in. I pull out her sippy cup and place it on the table in front of her. she messily colors on the kids menu with a crayon while we look at the menu and order. she goes to throw her sippy cup and I catch it, placing it back on the table" no ma’am "i tell her, looking at him with an apologetic look" sorry. dining out with a baby is a hassle
Yovanny
"I chuckle and shake my head, feeling a sense of amusement at the scenario" Ah, don't apologize, it's all part of the fun "I say, smiling at Melody as she continues to color on the menu" Besides, she's adorable "I add, leaning back in my chair as we wait for our food to arrive" And I have to admit, I'm enjoying this... unexpected side of you "I say, my eyes locked on yours, a hint of curiosity in my tone" You're not what I expected, that's for sure "I tease, my gaze piercing through to yours"
1Eyebrow
if I may ask, what did you expect? "I ask, placing my hand in front of Melody’s mouth before she puts the crayon in there"
Yovanny
"I raise an eyebrow, a small smirk playing on my lips" Ah, well... I suppose I expected someone a bit more... calculated "I say, my tone dripping with sarcasm" Someone who'd be trying to manipulate me, or seduce me, or something along those lines "I add, leaning forward slightly" But you... you're so... genuine "I say, my eyes narrowing slightly as I study you" It's almost... refreshing "I tease, my voice low and husky"
1Eyebrow
"i smile softly and shrug" I don’t like liars. besides I’ve been manipulated before. it sucks and I’d never do that to someone else "i meet his eyes" I always try to be honest and genuine
Yovanny
"I gaze back at you, my expression unreadable" Ah, well... I suppose that's a rare quality in this world "I say, my voice tinged with a hint of skepticism" Especially among those who orbit around me "I add, my eyes never leaving yours" But I'll admit, it's... appealing "I say, my tone softening ever so slightly" Maybe even... intriguing "I tease, my gaze lingering on yours before I glance away, seeming to study the surrounding area"
1Eyebrow
well I’m honored. hopefully I continue to surprise you. in a good way "i say softly. our food arrives and I carefully arrange the table so Melody can’t grab anything. I set her food to the side so it can cool some and she wines" I know sweetie but it’s hot "i tell her. I pull some olives from the salad and place them in front of her" here
Yovanny
"I watch you expertly arrange the table, my expression impressed" Ah, you're a natural "I say, taking a sip of my wine as I wait for our food to arrive" And... olives? "I raise an eyebrow, a hint of amusement on my face" You're trying to civilize her, aren't you? "I ask, chuckling softly as I glance at Melody, who's happily munching on the olives"
1Eyebrow
"i laugh softly" she likes them "i say simply. I serve myself some salad, occasionally feeding her some as I eat. when her food is cool, I cut it into small pieces and place it in front of her. I secure a bib around her neck" now baby this is a fancy restaurant so no food on the floor "i say right as she drops some on the floor" or not "i sigh"
Yovanny
"I laugh, a low, rumbling sound" Ah, you win some, you lose some "I say, shaking my head as I watch Melody's antics" At least she's enjoying herself "I add, smiling at the scene before me" And don't worry, it's just a little mess "I say, leaning back in my chair as I take another sip of my wine" It's not like it's going to ruin the ambiance or anything "I tease, my eyes twinkling with amusement"
1Eyebrow
you’d be surprised at what I’ve been yelled at for "i say softly. my eyes fall to the salad in front of me" it’s hard being a single mom. and everyone has opinions on how I should raise my kid "i stab at my salad" I mean. I got a bachelors of science in psychology, with the intent to be a child psychologist. sure I had to drop out two months into grad school to have her, but I know more than most about raising children "i grumble, my eyes still glued to my plate"
Yovanny
"I watch you, my expression softening as I take in your words" Ah, yeah... people always think they know better, don't they? "I say, my tone laced with empathy" But it sounds like you're doing a great job, despite the challenges "I add, reaching out to place a hand on your arm" And hey, having a background in psychology can only help, right? "I say, trying to offer some comfort" You're not alone in this, okay? "I reassure, my eyes locked on yours" We can all use a little support sometimes "I add, my voice low and gentle"
1Eyebrow
"I rest my hand over his and meet his eyes" thanks "i say softly. Melody drops some more food on the floor and a middle aged woman comes up to the table, telling me I shouldn’t let her dirty up the carpet and if I can’t control my kid then I shouldn’t bring her to nice places. I just sit there and take it. when she’s done I just flash a smile" thank you for your concern, but my child is happy and that’s all that matters. is there anything else I can help you with? "my tone is cold and my gaze is piercing"
Yovanny
"I watch the exchange, my expression darkening as I take in the woman's condescending tone" Ah, fu... "I catch myself, clearing my throat" Excuse me, I think we're done here "I say, my voice low and menacing" "I pull out a wad of cash from my wallet and throw it down on the table, not even bothering to glance at the woman again" Let's get out of here, before things escalate further "I say, standing up and helping you gather your things"
1Eyebrow
"I grab my bags and Melody. she cries as I take her away from the food and I rock her in my arms as best I can while also holding all of our things" I know baby. I know "i say softly, following him out of the restaurant. my cheeks are flushed with embarrassment and I’m trying not to cry"
Yovanny
"I shoot a glance at you, my expression softening as I take in your frustration and embarrassment" Ah, baby... "I say, my voice low and gentle" Don't worry about it, okay? It's not worth crying over "I add, reaching out to gently brush a strand of hair behind your ear" We're getting out of here, and we're going to find something better to do "I reassure, my eyes locked on yours"
1Eyebrow
"i conjure up a small smile as I continue to try and soothe the crying baby" she’s hungry "i say softly, trying to hide how my voice breaks" let’s just get some fast food
Yovanny
"I nod, my expression understanding" Yeah, okay. Let's get out of here and find some food that'll make you both happy "I say, wrapping an arm around your shoulders as we walk away from the restaurant" I know a place not too far from here that has decent food and zero judgment "I add, trying to lighten the mood"
1Eyebrow
okay "i mumble, walking with him down the sidewalk. Melody keeps crying despite my efforts. I wipe the remnants of the food from her face and hands as we walk and offer her various items to console her. as we walk, I see a young woman look at us judgingly and mutter “typical father. letting his wife carry all the stuff and take care of the baby. no wonder the brat is crying”. I grit my teeth and keep walking, pushing away the tears that threaten to spill out"
Yovanny
"I sense the tension in your body and turn my attention to the situation" Ah, hell... "I mutter under my breath, my eyes narrowing as I take in the woman's judgmental gaze" And what's with people thinking they can just swoop in and offer their unsolicited opinions? "I growl, feeling a surge of anger on your behalf" You know what? Forget the food. Forget the whole damn thing. I need to get out of here before I lose it "I say, my voice low and rough as I quicken our pace"
1Eyebrow
you can go if you want. it’s fine. Melody is hungry though and foods the only thing that will stop her crying "i say softly. I ignore how my voice breaks as I talk" I know this sucks
Yovanny
"I slow down, my anger dissipating as I look at you" Ah, no... "I say, my voice softening" I'm not going anywhere. You're not alone in this. And I'm not some clueless father who can't take care of himself or his child "I add, my eyes burning with intensity as I glare at the woman's retreating back" Besides, I promised to help you get through this, and that includes dealing with the self-righteous types like her "I say, my grip on your shoulder tightening reassuringly" Now, let's get that food and find something to soothe Melody's hunger... and maybe a little bit of mine too "I suggest, a hint of a smile on my face".
1Eyebrow
"i nod softly and quickly wipe at a tear that falls" thanks "i hold out the crying baby" can you? "I ask, not meeting his eyes. I know she’ll only cry harder in his arms, but I’m feeling overwhelmed and I need to adjust all the bags on my shoulders"
Yovanny
"I take Melody from you, and as expected, she continues to wail in my arms" Ah, yeah... "I mutter, trying to calm her down as I awkwardly adjust the bags on your shoulders" Sorry, kiddo... "I say, feeling a pang of sympathy for you" Your mom's got a lot on her plate right now "I add, looking down at you with a mixture of concern and understanding" But don't worry, we're gonna get through this together "I reassure, trying to offer some comfort as we continue walking".
1Eyebrow
"I adjust all the things I’m carrying so it’s more manageable and comfortable. we reach a fast food place and I take Melody back into my arms. I hand him some money" just order whatever. I’ll stay out here with her. no one likes to be disturbed by a crying baby "i say as I sit on a bench outside the restaurant"
Yovanny
"I glance at you, feeling a pang of frustration and resentment" Ah, you're kidding me, right? "I say, my voice low and incredulous" You're saying I'm some kind of nuisance because Melody's crying? "I shake my head, looking away from you for a moment before refocusing on the task at hand" Fine. I'll order what we need. But know that I'm not going anywhere, and I'm not leaving you to deal with this alone "I say, my jaw clenched in determination as I step inside the restaurant".
1Eyebrow
I- "i start to explain but he walks away. i sigh and bounce Melody on my knees. silent tears run down my face and i get lots of looks and mumbled comments from passersby. I ignore it and wait for him to come back with food"
Yovanny
"I storm out of the restaurant, a bag of food in my hand, and approach you with a scowl on my face" You were saying? "I say, my tone dripping with disdain" I couldn't help but hear your little explanation, but since you didn't finish, I thought I'd just take it upon myself to get us some food and come back out here to join you and the lovely audience you're getting "I add, my eyes flashing with anger as I hand you the bag" Enjoy the show, huh? "I say, trying to keep my tone even, but barely containing my frustration".
1Eyebrow
I’m sorry "i whisper, wiping at my tears" I didn’t mean that. I don’t think you’re a nuisance "i break apart a chicken nugget and feed the pieces to Melody. she finally calms down as she eats. my tears don’t stop though"
Yovanny
"I look at you, my expression softening, but my eyes still blazing with anger" Ah, don't apologize. I already know what you meant "I say, my voice low and rough" And yeah, it hurts. Because I thought we were doing okay, despite all the crap we've had to deal with. But apparently, I'm just as disposable as that woman in the restaurant "I add, my jaw clenched as I try to keep my emotions in check" But you know what? You're worth fighting for. Melody's worth fighting for. And I'm not going anywhere "I say, my eyes burning with intensity as I take a deep breath".
1Eyebrow
"I look up at him" you’re not disposable. you’ve been in our lives for a few hours and already I need you "i whisper, feeding melody some more" I’m sorry about all of that. I just- I got overwhelmed and embarrassed by all the judging we were getting. and now I’m a fucking mess "I wipe at my tears again" and I made you a liar because clearly I’m not a good mom. what kind of mom breaks down like this? "i sniffle and feed Melody some more nugget pieces"
Yovanny
"I take a deep breath, trying to calm down and process what you're saying" Ah, stop it. Stop apologizing. Stop making excuses. You're not a bad mom. You're just... "I pause, looking for the right words"... human. And humans get overwhelmed. Humans get emotional. And yeah, sometimes humans break down in public "I say, my voice gentle but firm". Because it's okay to show vulnerability. It's okay to not have it all together all the time "I add, my eyes softening as I look at you" And as for me, I'm not going anywhere. Not because I'm some hero or savior, but because... "I pause, searching for the right words"... because I care about you. And I care about Melody. And I want to help you. Even if it's just to hold your hand through this mess "I say, my voice sincere".

"my chin quivers at his words and i look up at him" will you hold my hand? "i whisper, holding out the hand that’s not feeding Melody"
Yovanny
"I nod, my eyes burning with intensity as I reach out to take your hand" Yeah. I'll hold your hand "I say, my voice low and rough". And I'll help you get through this. And I'll be here for you and Melody. Because that's what family does "I add, my grip on your hand tightening reassuringly".

"I scoot closer and rest my cheek against his bicep, leaning against him" thank you "i whisper" I’ve never had help like this before
Yovanny
"I wrap my arm around you, pulling you closer as I look out at the surrounding area with a sense of possessiveness" You're welcome. And don't worry, you're not alone in this. I'm here for you and Melody now "I say, my voice softening as I look down at you".

"i keep feeding Melody and eat some food myself. when we’ve both had enough and Melody falls asleep in my arms, I look up at him" I’m really sorry for how everything started between us, but I’m glad it brought us here. I really like you Yovanny. and I’m glad you’re her dad
Yovanny
"I look down at you, my expression softening as I take in your words" Ah, me too "I say, my voice low and rough". I never thought I'd be saying this, but... I really like you too "I admit, a hint of vulnerability creeping into my tone". And yeah, I'm glad we're here, even if it's under these circumstances. Because, despite everything, I think we could make something good together "I say, my eyes locked on yours".

me too "i whisper. i search his eyes for a moment" do you want something with me? a relationship besides coparents? "I ask softly" I know I’m not the skinniest or the prettiest and I don’t have a yacht. but I think we could have something good. something special
Yovanny
"I look at you, my expression intense as I consider your question" Yeah... I want something with you "I say, my voice low and rough". I don't care about the skinniness or prettiness or the yacht. What I care about is the person inside. And from what I've seen so far, that's someone special "I say, my eyes burning with intensity as I look at you". So, yeah... I think we could have something good. Something special. Something worth fighting for "I add, my voice filled with conviction".

"i smile and reach up to cup his cheek" then I’ll fight for it "i whisper, guiding his lips towards mine until they’re just a breath away"
Yovanny
"I close my eyes, feeling a spark of electricity as our lips hover together" Ah, hell "I whisper, my voice husky with desire". You're really something, you know that? "I say, my lips tracing the curve of yours without actually touching"
