Daniel Lazano

Usually Madelyn would back away in situations like this, but there was something about Daniel that made her feel safe. He seemed genuine and didn’t really give off that creep vibe that some guys would give.” I got my own interior design company and no sadly you can’t, I wish I could ask for your help, have some random guy take care of the drama, but sadly not the case” she chuckled. She was frustrated and could go on for hours about the issues she got with her work at this moment.

“Owning your own business seem stressful enough, interior design though, that is quite impressive” he nodded “ Listen I have time, I have some good ears and do not mind listening and doing my best to try to help out in any way even if that is just me lending you an ear”  he could notice the frustration on her “I can take you and your dog for a coffee? I know a place where you can bring your dog”

Natalie sat there, she was trying to get her work done but she also needed to be a good mom, juggling both was hard but she knew she could do it. It wasn’t a problem and it was the life she loved. She looked over at the guy when she realised it was Daniel so she was relieved Daniel hadn’t been angry with Lucas scrambling under his table. He looked over at them as Lucas laughed at Daniel and she smiled as she looked at him, “Honestly, you don’t have to do that, I am almost finished here, but you can come to the park with us if you would like? I am sure Lucas would love you there.”  She wanted to take him up on the offer but  she hated asking for help just because she technically needed it. 

“I don’t have to, but I will do that, because the quicker you are finished the sooner this little man will get to the park “ he smiled “ it is really no problem Nat” Daniel loved kids. His older sibling has a bunch of them. He knew his mother was always reminding him how disappointing she was that he had none in his age. He was thirty three, but all of his siblings got them quite early in their life and had a lot more success when it came to love and family than Daniel. Then again Daniel did not want to fit into their stereotypes and live his own life as it came to him. He sat back down with Lucas on his lap. “Yeah I would love too I have nothing else to do really, I was just gonna grab my coffee and go home”

Hearing the manly voice startled her even though it shouldn’t. It was common for people to be in the park especially around this hour exercising. This further proved how caught up she was in her own mind. Work was really not going her way lately. “Oh no it is fine, it is just work being a bit of a mess” giving the male a friendly smile she shook her head running her hand through her brown hair. “ Thank you, but I am fine, just got to deal with this in my office I suppose, i’m Madelyn by the way” she was not sure the male was even interested in knowing her name, but felt it was the polite thing to do.

San Francisco always was a busy place. It was uncommon for any place there to be unoccupied. Daniel loved it. It gave him more opportunities to get to know people. He was not the most social when he was younger, being too focused on his studies and providing for his family so now when he was older and got everything under control he wanted to make up for all that time. “It is nice to meet you Madelyn, i’m Daniel” he smiled politely “I hope whatever is going on with your work will sort itself out, what do you work with? if you don’t mind me asking, maybe I could help you out?”

Daniel Lazano was born on a winter night in San Francisco by his mother Juana Lazano and father Miguel Lazano. At that time they had nothing. His parents just moved  from Mexico to the US together with his four other older siblings before he made it to the world. Regardless of his mother and father struggling financially to keep the household together with only his father working they always tried to have a good spirit. They wanted to give the kids a happy upbringing even if it was impossible at times. As the kids became older they all took on a job on the side of school. Daniel had managed to get a job at a local grocery store on the weekends and worked there as much as he could to help his parents.

His siblings moved out pretty quick after they turned eighteen leaving him alone with his parents. Even so they still struggled, but not to the point where Daniel had to give up his studies. Daniel refused to let himself go without an education and wanted a job that he found interesting and that would keep him and his future family without struggle. He was looking to work in the hospital field, but ended up interested in being a dentist. The only issue was that his parents did not have the money for college. Daniel managed to fix this by grabbing the savings from working at the grocery store. Even if he helped his parents he had placed money on the side for himself which was something his parents were not pleased about, but soon forgot when Daniel graduated on the top of the class and got a job as a dentist. He moved from his mother and fathers home in The Mission to his own place in another neighborhood not wanting to leave the city like his siblings did, but refusing to stay in The Mission. Even if they often came to visit and their family relations were tight Daniel always held a grudge to his older siblings for leaving him to take care of their parents.
