"Nice." She smiled, ordering herself an iced coffee. She sat down and smiled at Abi, still staring at the cup. She fished out one of her ice cubes and plopped it in the hot chocolate to help it cool down faster.

The toddler cooed and clapped his hands when the hot chocolate splashed. Michael picked it up and sipped from it seeing if it was still too hot. It was warm enough to drink, but not hot enough to burn. "Hot Chocolate time!" He helped Abi sip from the cup. He was smiling the whole time as he did. 

He pulled the cup away to let the little boy be able to swallow all the drink in a timely matter. "So, don't ask to take my picture. No one is allowed to."

She laughed at Abi. "That's cool. I like taking photos of people too. Sometimes I'll do photo shoots for models when their photographers bail." She said, handing Abi the hot chocolate. "Careful, it's hot."

Michael took the hot chocolate, which caused Abi to removed his hand. "It's hot buddy." He helped him sip a little. The little boy shook his head after getting only a little. It was obviously hot. He sat the cup down on the table. "We gotta wait for it to cool off. You don't want a hot tongue." 

The boy just watched the cup, as if that was going to cool it down.

"Oh, I take a lot of self portraits. I do some of my friends too."

"Me? Well, um, nothing interesting, really. I'm a photojournalist." She said with a shrug. She laughed at Abi before standing up to order him some hot chocolate.

"Oh, something with photo in it. I do photography for a hobby. I only take pictures of people a lot." Michael smiled as Abi put his hand over his mouth to shut him up. "Shh daddy."

"What?! Of course not!" Katherine smiled. "What do you say to getting some hot chocolate, kiddo?"

"Hot chocolate!" The two year old started dancing and cooing. "Oh come on buddy. Calm down." Michael started walking him down the side walk.

"I see." Katherine smiled and crouched down to be at Abi's height. "That is a very nice tutu." She complimented. "I'm sure people will be jealous of it."

He pulled on the tutu and smiled. "Tutu!" Michael chuckled. The boy was one hell of a job, but he loved him. He was the best thing in his life actually. "I hope this doesn't spoil the mood at all." 

[thestarofreno]

"Sure, that sounds fine." She smiled. Katherine always loved kids.

"Ah good good! Hold on, let me go get him." Michael ran off and returned quickly with Abi holding his hand, walking with him. "Ah, he just got the tutu. He wants to show everyone." 

[thestarofreno]

"What? No..." She shook her head. "I'm the weird one, believe me. So, um, wanna go get some coffee or something? And chat?"

Ah, coffee sounded good. "Is it okay if I bring my son with us? I... my babysitter doesn't work during the day." 

[thestarofreno]

She laughed at his compliment. "A pleasure to meet you, Michael. I've, uh, seen you around but have been too shy to say hello." Katherine admitted.

"I'm glad you said hello," Michael smiled at her, "Oh, don't be too shy. I'm just a smelly guy who's weird."
