He looks like..........

“Wait ma'am, I think I have seen you before,” said the man as he was directly staring at Ella's eyes trying to find something he didn't know about what.

Seeing the man staring right into her eyes made her uncomfortable, so she pulled her hand out of his grip and stepped back. She chuckled and said, “I think this pickup line is very old, you had to try a better pickup line”. The man insisted and said, “No, I am not joking, I have seen you before”. Noticing the seriousness, she said, “I just came to this city an hour ago, Mr......”

The man said, “oh it's Ethan Jonson and Miss.....”

Ella answered, “Ella Watson”. She continued saying “Mr Jonson I'll excuse myself now”. She smiled at him and left to look for a taxi.

A man who saw everything happen was shocked as Ethan would always stay away from women, he came running to Ethan when Ella had left and asked “Ethan are you alright?” Ethan nodded and said, “I am alright, Daniel”. Daniel being Ethan's best friend and business partner asked him again “are you sure you are alright, you just talked to a girl”.

Ethan became annoyed and said, “I am a really fine okay man, just stop annoying me okay”. Daniel put his head down and answered “okay let's go to the company now” saying they went to their company. Ethan still could not stop thinking about Ella, well it was not because of love at first sight, but she looked like someone he knew before. Getting frustrated he called his assistant Mr Lucas Ben and said “Ben find out everything about this girl named Ella Watson I want it as soon a possible”. Mr Ben nodded and said “yes sir”, then immediately went out of Ethan office.

While on the other side, Ella had already got a taxi and the three of them sat in and went to the house Ella had rented. Leo was sitting on his uncle's lap, playing with a car that her mother gave him. Soon they reached the place where they were supposed to stay. As a good and concerned mother, she called Leo's teacher and said to her that Leo won’t be able to come to school as they had just come to this city and as a child, Leo is very tired. Understanding Ella's concern, the teacher agreed. After talking with the teacher, Ella looked around the house to see if it needed to be cleaned, as she had nothing to do. Ryan was playing with Leo in his bedroom.

Ella had done the cleaning of the house and went to the kitchen to make dinner, as the dinner was ready in half an hour she called the other two. Being hungry for a long time, Ryan and Leo's mouth was watering. Ella had made all the favourite dishes of Ryan and Leo. They all ate the food to their heart's content. After dinner, Ella was in the kitchen washing the dishes and Ryan was in the living room sitting with Leo.

Leo was doing nothing, so he felt bored and started pulling Ryan's clothes with his tiny hands. Ryan understood that Leo has been bored, so he picked him up and went to the kitchen and asked Ella “sis, can we go out to have ice cream?”. Then he started talking with Ella with his eyes indicating that Leo is bored, we should go out.

Ella understood, so she nodded agreeing about it and said “okay let's go but wait for me first”. Ryan nodded and went outside the house to wait for his sister. Leo was excited and wanted to walk on the floor, but Ryan was strong and would not let him go. Ryan did not want Leo to get lost, so he threatened him to stop moving or else he will take him far away from his mama and leave him with the bad guys. Hearing this, Leo started to cry.

Ella was outside her room coming down when she heard her son crying. She ran to the door, opened it and took Leo in her arms and started to sweet talk him saying “my dear, my prince, my little man, my cutie pie why are you crying? who hurt my baby?”. Then she looked at Ryan, demanding an explanation. Ryan was feeling guilty, and he tried to explain to Ella, “sis, I didn't mean to make him cry, I just didn't want him to get lost.”

Ella knew her son was stubborn, so she didn't say anything and nodded, assuring Ryan that it's okay.

After Leo had calmed down, they went to an ice cream parlour. Ryan ordered a chocolate cake ice cream with a few toppings, Ella ordered a plain mango ice cream. Leo wanted to have the same ice cream as his mother, so he ordered it with sprinkles on top. Soon their order had arrived, and they ate happily, without knowing that someone was watching them.

That someone was none other than Daniel, Ethan, and Mr Bean. They both coincidently saw them. Mr Ben said to Ethan while watching Ella, “sir, she is the girl you asked me to investigate about, right?”. Hearing this, Daniel immediately turned his face towards Ethan and teasingly said, “oh my, you investigated her”. Ethan glared at Ben and said, “you needed to open your mouth right.” Ben knew his boss was angry, so he automatically turned cute and said, “come on boys, don't be mad at me, you know I didn't mean it”. He then started to pull Ethan's coat. Ethan did not get angry because Ben was his other best friend and would be deadly serious at work and act like a child at home and with his best friends.

Ethan and Ben were bickering here while on the other side Leo had finished his ice cream and started to ask for more. Ella didn't want him to catch a cold, so she refused immediately refused, but Leo was stubborn. He won't let his mother go till she agrees, he started to cry aloud and shout I want ice cream, he repeated it. Everyone present there was watching them, and so did the three best friends. Ella tried to calm Leo and Ryan did the same. Daniel looked at them and said to Ethan “buddy poor you, this girl Ella is a mother and is married too”.

Ethan looked at him with his what the heck face. Daniel continued,  “but his son does not look like him at all”. Ben agreeing with Daniel said yes he does not look like his dad at all, he looks like.............

Ethan was looking  at Leo and said, “yes, he looks like”..................
