Hazel got in class just right in time. To her surrise, their professor introduced a new student ro their department and it was Alex. Alex was the guy she met and interested at her at their party.She sat next to him in her usual spot on the floor. She was in the back row of the class with all the other students, so that was where she’d be when he arrived. She could get a good look at him from here too. Alex had dark hair pulled into a ponytail, brown eyes and a small scar that ran along his cheekbone. He was tall, well muscled and handsome in that classic way people who looked like they worked out were. Hazel liked to imagine he kept fit by working out.The professor started talking about how to prepare for their first exam and Alex listened attentively and asked the right questions. The whole class watched as the professor gave them the assignment and assigned them a task to do with the paper. They did what they were told and completed it quickly and efficiently.

Theo's excitement bubbled up inside him like a fizzy soda as he scrambled out of bed, his tiny feet padding softly on the floor. With a skip in his step, he made his way to Mama Hazel's room, where she was already up, preparing breakfast. "Mama! Mama!" Theo called out, his voice filled with joy.

As Mama Hazel and Theo arrived back home, the day was far from over. They decided to have a special picnic in the backyard, complete with sandwiches, fruit, and homemade lemonade. Theo helped Mama Hazel set up the picnic blanket, his face beaming with excitement as he arranged the food just so.

Three-year-old Theo sat on the living room floor, playing with his favorite toy truck. He looked up and noticed a somber expression on his daddy Axel's face as he sat on the couch, staring into the distance. Mama Hazel was in the kitchen, her usual cheerful demeanor replaced with a look of concern. Curiosity sparked in Theo's young mind as he toddled over to his parents. "Daddy, what's wrong?" he asked, his innocent voice filled with concern. Axel looked down at Theo, a small smile forming on his lips despite the heaviness in his eyes. "Oh, Theo, nothing's wrong, buddy. Daddy's just thinking about some things," Axel replied, trying to reassure his son. Theo furrowed his little brow, still puzzled. He turned to Mama Hazel, who had come out of the kitchen to join them. "Mama, what's wrong with Daddy?" he asked, his big eyes searching for an answer. Hazel knelt down to Theo's level, wrapping him in a warm embrace. "It's okay, Theo. Daddy and I are just talking about grown-up st
Hazel's hands trembled as she read the message from Axel's father, Mr. Nicholas. The request to meet her in person sent a wave of anxiety through her. Mr. Nicholas was known for his nonchalant demeanor and intimidating presence, adding to Hazel's already nervous state. Axel had often mentioned his father in passing, describing him as a man of few words but with a commanding presence. Hazel couldn't help but feel intimidated by the thought of meeting him, unsure of how she would be received by such a formidable figure. As the day of the meeting approached, Hazel's nerves were at an all-time high. She tried to calm herself, reminding herself that she had nothing to hide and that she had always been honest and sincere in her relationship with Axel. However, the fear of not meeting Mr. Nicholas's expectations gnawed at her. When the day finally arrived, Hazel found herself standing outside a luxurious restaurant, waiting for Mr. Nicholas to arrive. As he walked towards her, his ster
"Hey, Hazel," Axel began tentatively, his voice laden with concern, "are you okay after meeting my father?"

"I'm fine, Axel. Your father was quite welcoming and had some interesting stories to share," she replied, her tone gentle and reassuring. Despite Hazel's words, Axel couldn't shake off the lingering worry that she might have felt overwhelmed or out of place during their encounter with his father. The thought gnawed at him, leaving a knot of anxiety in the pit of his stomach. "I'm glad to hear that," Axel said, his voice tinged with relief. "If you ever feel uncomfortable or need to talk about anything related to my family, please know that you can always open up to me. I want you to feel at ease and supported," he added, reaching out to gently squeeze Hazel's hand. Hazel's eyes softened
As Axel and Hazel emerged from the cocoon of their intimate moment, they found themselves walking hand in hand into a beautiful and expansive public park. The air was crisp with the scent of blooming flowers, and the sound of chirping birds filled the atmosphere with a symphony of nature's serenade. The park stretched out before them like a verdant oasis, with lush greenery, winding pathways, and colorful blooms. Sunlight filtered through the canopy of trees, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the ground, creating a picturesque setting for their impromptu stroll.
