I stood alone, taking in everything around me. The laughter, the bright light that sparked around me like stars, the music that boomed along with the mess of pizza. Everything around me felt like it was 2x faster than how I was. I was too far in my headspace that everything was out of focus but clear at the same time. I noticed the passing parents and children, the waiter darting around tables. The two security guards were standing around, messing on as if they didn't have a job to do.

"(Y/n)? Hey." Richard appeared nearby, approaching me with a gentle smile. "Are you okay? You disappeared, so I got very worried. I thought I disappointed you in how our night turned out."

Richard sat on the other side of me with a simple smile and darling eyes. Dressed casual formal.

"Hey, Richard. The night with you was lush. I had a bad dream and started panicking so I left. I didn't want to have you witness something you don't have to deal with. You don't have to deal with me being immature or stupid. I'm young and I know that, so I just don't want to have you deal with me having a panic attack. That isn't what you should have to put and-" Richard cut me off with a kiss, a soft gentle kiss.

"Don't worry about it. Have bad dreams, panic, I could have cuddled you in and made sure you are safe. Once you step foot in my house your happiness is what I need to keep up." He winked, speaking so gently close to my lips, feeling tingling on them.

"Thank you." I giggled. "Are you busy?" I asked, clinging to him. What a distraction I have found, landing into my hands. If William didn't want me, someone else had to.

"I'm on my break and I came here to check up on you. I could take you out for lunch if you want." He smiled, gripping my hands.

"Aw, let's go to lunch, this place does my head in." I smiled, enjoying the affection he was giving me.

I notice William walking over, glaring at me. "Okay, (y/n), Henry is going gone this afternoon, I need you around."

"Get Daniel to help you." I glared up at him, knowing he purposefully destroy a moment. He doesn't want time to be happy, I knew it. I hope he was kidding me because this was beyond a joke. "I'm busy and the last time I checked I didn't work here."

"You're never busy, stop flirting with people and help out. You can't harbour around here all day without doing anything to help, you lazy git."

"Lazy git? I trained Daniel with no pay. I deserve a pay rise or money, to begin with. Sorry, Richard, can we go get lunch." I smiled sweetly at Richard after glancing harshly at William. How dare that man to intrude on something unique for me. Richard was nothing new and William was spoiling it for me. Did he not want me to move past what I and he did? I'll end up going crazy if I don't just leave it alone and move on. He'll drive me insane if I don't move on. How William made me feel when we are truly alone isn't something I want with him. He going to be married. I can't do that stuff with a married man.

"Of course." Richard stood up, being around about the same height as William's with eye contact. He glanced down at me, taking me by the hand and helping me up when he didn't have to. "Don't worry, She'll be back later."

I grabbed Richard's arm, clinging to him. William should be getting angry about this. He shouldn't care. I mean, he should slightly, it could be a little inappropriate to have two random adult's around in a childhood establishment.

"William, I'll tell Henry, you are being a nuisance." I stood up, looking up at him. How dare he interrupt my time with Richard. What does he think he was doing?

"Go ahead, he is right over there. Keeping an eye on you." He pointed, smirking. "You worry him, you know what."

"Why can't you and Henry disappear already. Can't I just have some privacy?" They both were doing my head in at this point. William with whatever he was doing and Henry being too fatherly. I just need my space. Even if I went through William's stuff, it isn't like I was stopping him from doing whatever he wanted.
