MINE

04- The Date

Layla storms out of the house to the lift with her purse a d phone. She walks out of the building and calls Harry.

"Hey I see-" "Harry I'm sorry I won't be able to not today" Layla said to him and he goes silent. "Is everything alright?" He asked and she takes in a shaky breath. "No but I want to be alone right now. I'm sorry" she said as she wiped her tears while walking to the park.

Harry stood a few meters away from her as he slipped the phone inside his pocket.

He put his hands on his pocket as he watched her from a distance, walking behind her. He knows that it's probably because of the relationship she told about last time.

He knew she was in love with her boyfriend and he was in love with his daughters mother but he thought talking to Layla and going out with her would be a good distraction for them both.

He watches as she sits on a bench in the corner. She was dressed up so it's not hard to understand that she fought with her boyfriend just now. He remembered watching her from a distance last time as she wiped her tears while his daughter played in the sand.

He sighs as he goes and sits beside her.

Layla wipes her tears and turns to find Harry there. "Hey" she sniffles. He pulls her to him. She holds his shirt in his hand as she sobs. She feels him brush her hair soothingly but it only reminds her of Knox.

Knox lay on the bed with his hand around Layla as she had her hand on his torso and her head on his shoulder.

He brushed her hair as they cuddle and watch a movie. She looks up when Knox stops and finds him fast asleep. She giggles and pulls the blanket over the two before dozing off on him.

She cries harder and Harry just holds her as he thinks about his relationship.

"Im not in love with another Mira" "So why don't you spend time with me anymore, do you not love me now?" His fiance asked and Harry sighs.

"It's not that Mira I'm just tired from work there was this client-" "it's always work with you, we aren't poor. We earn well enough so you can take it easy once in a while so that you have some time for me and your daughter." Mira said and Harry holds his head as his migraine become worse.

"Mira not now I'm having a headache and-" Harry is cut off by her scoff, "Okay now that I'm talking to you, you've got a headache?" She said, "Mira-" "No let me finish" she said as she pulls her ring off.

Harry's eyes widen.

"Im leaving, I can't feel insecure anymore because you don't have time for me. I love you and I trust you but it doesn't help that you just don't have time for me" Mira said and walked out.

Harry runs behind her to find her leaving  in a taxi as he stood and watched.

Harry and Mira have been living separately ever since that happened and it's been a month. She just talks to him about her daughter and when she will come or go from his place to hers.

Layla finally calms down and pulls away. She chuckles as Harry looks at her when she pulls away. "Im sorry I messed up the date" she said and Harry smiles. "Not at all Layla we all have relationship issues" he said and she looks at him.

She bites her lip and tells him everything. He sucks in a breath with wide eyes. "Why didn't you leave him?" Harry asked. Harry was surprised that she was still with him. She was beautiful, she could get anyone.
