Teddy PoV

I was checking that I looked presentable in the mirror as I was about to leave for some drinks at the pub with Jack, Ro then starts asking me questions, which kinda scared me a little bit, but it was more entertaining than anything else.

"Daddy, where are you going?"

"I'm going out tonight Bambina"

"You're going on a date!, she better be nice to you Daddy"

"I'm not going out with a lady Sweetheart"

"Ok then, I still mean what I said Daddy, just change the she to a he, I don't judge"

"(Chuckles), I know Baby girl, I know, you're a good girl like that, (kisses cheek), anyway I can look after myself Baby"

"That doesn't mean that you can't be looked after every once in a while Daddy"

"I'll be fine Sweetheart, I promise"

"You can't promise that Daddy"

"I promise that I'll try to stay safe then Buba"

Ro then crossed her arms, it took me a lot of effort to not start laughing at her, because it's not normally the child that asks all these questions about a date.

"What time will you be back from your date Daddy?"

"You'll be asleep when I'm back Ro"

"Where's your jacket?"

"I don't need a jacket"

"That's not what I asked you though Daddy"

"Rowan Sweetheart, I appreciate the concern for my health and wellbeing, I really do but it's September"

"But you're going out at night Daddy, so you will need a jacket to keep you warm, otherwise you'll freeze and die and I don't want you to freeze and die"

I knelt down in front of Ro and I cupped her face, because she had her sad face on, and no matter how ridiculous she sounded asking me questions about my 'date', her sad face always broke me.

"Will it make you feel better if I brought my jacket with me Buba?"

"Yes it would"

"Ok then Baby, (kisses forehead), I'll bring my jacket with me"

So I grabbed my jacket from behind the front door, and then I said my goodbyes for the evening, since the kids would be in bed when I get back from wherever I'm going.

"Mikey!, I'm going!"

"Ok, bye Daddy, I love you"

"(Kisses cheek), I love you too Bambino"

"Daddy, you'll be ok, right?"

"Yes Ro, I'll be ok, look I even got my jacket with me"

"Well now you won't get cold"

"(Chuckles)"

"I love you Daddy"

"I love you too Bambina, both of you be good for Uncle Georgie now, ok"

A chorus of ok's were said as I left, I closed the front door and took the biggest breath in that I had ever done, since I was actually nervous about it.

So I walked to the nearest London Underground station from where I lived, because otherwise I would've been late to the pub, and I hate being late to anything, contrary to popular belief among the locals.

I was still on time to the pub, I was actually at the pub bang on 7 O'clock, and then I spotted Jack sitting on a high stool at the bar, so I sat on the one next to him.

We talked until about midnight, and then we kinda fucked, but I will admit that it was good sex, actually it was amazing, though I'll spare you the gory details.

It was about 5 O'clock in the morning, and Jack was walking me home, as he wanted me to be safe, (his words, not mine, I just wanted to make that clear).

"Jack, you know I can walk home by myself, I'm a big boy"

"I know that Handsome, but I'm a gentleman and was raised as such"

"Gentlemen's stuff is probably wasted on me though Green eyes"

"Even so, I always walk my date home"

"So who's gonna walk you home?"

"Nobody's going to try and start a fight with a 6ft 3in man now are they?"

"I guess not, unless you encounter someone like me-"

"I'm pretty sure you're the only person I know that will not back down from anything Teddy"

"You got me there"

"(Chuckles)"

"So what does this make us Chelsea?"

"What do you want us to be?"

"I asked you the question Chelsea-"

"I know"

"I want to see where this takes us Green eyes"

"Me too Handsome"

It felt nice to have another man's arm around me, we walked another 5 minutes before I got to my flat building.

"This is me, thank you for walking me home"

"You're welcome"

So I entered the flat building that I lived in and I walked up the stairs, feeling happier in myself then I did walking down the stairs the night before.
