Edinburgh
First Date


Days, months, years, come and go without feeling. All pass like a gust of wind that exists but is invisible. Season after season. Blaire continues to wait in hope. During that time, his son Ainsley continued to grow.


Little Ainsley is now about five years old.


It's a long time to travel the life of a Blaire Shuterland. She lived her days as a single mother. However, all that does not feel so heavy, because on Blaire's side there is a mother who always helps and of course Aaron Walsh who never tired of accompanying, he said, he paid special attention to Blaire and Ainsley.


“Hey, Champion. Looky. I bought you this little robot. Wasn't yesterday you ..” Aaron did not continue his words, when he saw Blaire already standing while folding her hands in the chest. The blonde-haired handsome man also grimaced a little. “Blaire .. I promise this one last ...” Aaron scratched the nape of his head. He looks so silly.


“Three days ago you said the same thing, Aaron. Always only ‘ini the last’. So, what's the evidence? You keep pampering Ainsley with such expensive toys,” Blaire protested. He even glared at his only son who was about to protest.


“My mom sucks, Uncle,” Ainsley whispered to Aaron, after Blaire passed into the kitchen.


“Just learn. Your mother never bought a toy as good as this,” replied Aaron grinning funny. “Look. If you press the red button, then the robot will move. He can also bring out cool lights and sounds,” explains Aaron while showing how the toy he just bought for Ainsley works.


Ainsley clapped his hands cheerfully, watching his robot toy perform a lot of action. The boy smiled widely, then immediately rushed into Aaron's arms.


“Thank you, Uncle. It's a very nice toy,” he said.


The feelings inside Aaron warmed up. The man smiled widely, as the affection he had been giving Ainsley was sweet-fruited. The boy also seemed to love him very much. “Whatever I'll give you, Ains. Everything,” said Aaron after breaking a hug, then pinching the child's chubby cheeks. “You play first. I want to talk to your mother.” Aaron touched Ainsley's head, then got up from his seat. He approached Blaire who was in the kitchen.


“Busy once, Miss Shuterland,” warm sweep. “Can I help you?” tawar Aaron as he approached. “I can wash dishes, arrange spoons and forks, tidy up tablecloths, and ...”


“Can you shut up? I'm mad at you.” Blaire grunts quietly.


Aaron just laughed. He knew that Blaire was upset because she often indulged Ainsley excessively.


However, for Aaron it was not something wrong. “Gosh, you are so fierce,” said the blue-eyed man earlier. “Look, Blaire. Ainsley was very happy with her new toy. Isn't that nice?” Aaron stood half-leaning on a table near the sink, where Blaire was busy cleaning up old cooking furniture moments ago.


“I know that, but you just bought him an expensive toy three days ago,” Blaire protested.


“Tak what, Blaire. After all, it doesn't burden me at all. I am very happy because my business is growing. The decision to stop working and open my own business was not to be regretted if the result was like this,” said Aaron who always showed a cheerful and warm face.


Blaire, who had just finished her work, immediately turned her head. He then removed the apron, then hung it in the usual place he put the object. “I'm so glad to hear that, Aaron. I hope it'll be like this. You're a hardworking guy and also very nice. All of that will definitely give a positive reply for you.” Blaire stood next to Aaron. While his gaze was fixed on Ainsley who was engrossed in his new toy.


“What if tonight we come out?” bargain Aaron while looking at Blaire.


“Where?” Blaire returned the gaze of the handsome man next to her. Not once did Aaron look at him without a gentle look full of love. The eldest of the three brothers, so patient in facing Blaire who was not also willing to open his heart to other men.


“What if I watch to the cinema? Too bad because the weather is sunny like this we do not use well,” said Aaron half seduce.


Blaire scratched her eyebrows. After that, he smiled. “Say, can I invite Ainsley or .. or is this a two-year date?”


“A very difficult choice for me to answer. However, if you consider this a date, then ..” Aaron dehemes slowly. Then he smiled. “I hope we go alone,” continued the man later.


“Oh alright.” Blaire mangosteen. “Then you'd better get home soon, then pick me up at seven in the evening. Now I will bathe Ainsley and feed her a lot so that she sleeps well,” said the girl accompanied by a crisp laugh.


“Gosh. You're such a wonderful mother, Blaire.” Aaron clucked as he shook his head slowly. He then straightened up, then approached Ainsley who was still fun playing alone. “Hey, Hotshot! I'll go home first. Now take a shower before your mother screams loudly,” tell her while ruffling the boy's hair.


While Blaire just stood watching the scene earlier. For a moment, the girl thought. He is now twenty-eight years old. For a long time he waited for a Christian and wished the man back. However, it turns out that the handsome man who claimed to be from Mexico never once showed his nose.


Meanwhile, on the other hand, Aaron gives all the attention and affection towards Ainsley. The neighbor even acted as if he was the father of the little boy. A turmoil that arises in a Blaire. Should he put an end to all waiting, and begin to open his heart to others?


The night has come. Blaire was also prepared with skinny jeans and a crop top coated with a jacket. The girl also scrunched up her beautiful long hair. Blaire then took a slow breath. He looked at himself in the mirror. Blaire hasn't dressed up in a long time. However, it is lazy to apply makeup tools on the table.


Just as Blaire grabbed a lipstick, a knock was heard on the door. “Blaire! Aaron is waiting for you!” viktoriya exclaimed not too loudly.


“Yes, mom!” sahut Blaire's. She put the lipstick back in place. Blaire just tidied up her hair, then immediately walked out of the room.


In the living room, I heard Aaron joking with Ainsley. While Viktorija occasionally chimed in the intimacy of the grandson with the son of his neighbor. For the widow who still looks fit, Aaron is an ideal figure who deserves to accompany his daughter.


“Goodnight,” greet Blaire who was immediately greeted by Ainsley. The boy slid into the mother's arms. “Do not sleep too late. Don't argue with your grandmother's words, and don't forget to brush your teeth. When gargling do not let you swallow the water,” Blaire's message to the son.


“Why do I keep saying ‘jangan’?” ask Ainsley.


“That means you can't do it, Ains,” said Aaron, making the boy immediately turn to him for a moment.


After that, Ainsley turned his gaze back to his mother.


“Mother also do not go home too late,” he said plain.


While the three adults who heard his innocent words earlier immediately laughed. “You don't have to worry, Ains. I will return your mother in time,” Aaron said as he stood up. He walked over to Blaire, then stood next to the girl. “Are you ready?” tanyakanya. Blaire responded with a gesture.


“You just go. Don'worry. Ainsley will sleep on time,” Viktorija said.


“Alright, Mom. We go first,” by Blaire. He kissed Viktoriya on the cheek. After that, Blaire also did not forget to say goodbye to her baby who immediately waved his hand, when Aaron had opened the door and brought himself out of the house.


That night was very bright. The atmosphere felt much more crowded than usual. People passed by with all their talk and joy. Not much different from what Aaron felt at that time.


Like a dream come true, when he can take a Blaire away alone. During this time, they often go everywhere three or even four with Viktorija. Not infrequently also up to five, if Anette forced to come along.


“Tonight is the premiere of the movie that I've been waiting for a long time,” said Aaron who looked excited. He was already thirty years old, but he still had a huge young soul.


“I'll come,” said Blaire who was sitting next to the man. They also looked so serious listening to scene after scene presented in the film.


About two hours later, they both came out of the cinema. Aaron then invited Blaire to enjoy the snacks peddled on the streets they passed. The two look very familiar, sharing jokes and laughter like lovers.


“Ainsley must have slept, but I still have to go home on time,” Blaire said when Aaron had driven him to the front of the house.


“Thank you for tonight,” said Aaron who could not let go of his smile.


“I should be thanking you. You've done so much for us. For me and Ainsley,” Blaire replied.


“Don't talk like that, Blaire. I'm glad I could do it. I'm happy to be a part of you .. um I mean ..” Aaron seemed confused to correct his words. Especially because Blaire's eyes at the time looked very different.
