When Layla gets left behind after losing her husband, she decides the place she's at can no longer bring her the peace and comfort she needs. Together, with her young daughter, she decides its time to start somewhere new and pursue the life she's al...
Yoongi took my hand in his as we walked into the pub. How did we end up here? What happened to coffee? I was still asking myself these questions.
"So, what do you drink, Layla?" He turned to me with his gummy smile. Wow I need to stop.
"Gin please. Lemonade not tonic water." I asked shyly. How did I end up here?
Tali, on the other hand was having the best day of her life. She's met BTS and they were currently babysitting her.
*flashback*
"Tali!" I shouted as I walked through my door. Thankfully my mam was available to babysit while I'm at work. She's a saint.
"Mam!!" I've missed you!" I picked her up and spun her around.
"Awh peach I've missed you too. I'm sorry I'm working so much." I put her down and walked to the living room with her as I seen my mam was in there.
"It's okay! I've enjoyed grandma being here!"
"Well that's good because I need to ask grandma a favour." I turned to my mother.
"Before you ask dear, I have plans tonight. As much as I'd love to look after Tali, me and your father are going out." She smiled sadly at me.
"Oh that's fine! I can just cancel my plans." I smiled at her, hugged her and thanked her for babysitting for me.
I took out my phone to text yoongi.
Me: hey, um about tonight. I can't get a babysitter so I won't be able to make it.
Yoongi: oh. A babysitter? For who?
I mentally smacked my forehead. They don't know I have a child.
Me: I have a daughter.
Yoongi: you do?! I can ask the guys if they could babysit?
Me: do you think they would?
Yoongi: of course. We'll be over in 5.
I smiled and looked at Tali.
"You're gonna love me peach." I smiled at her.
"Why mam?" The doorbell rang. I got up off the couch and answered the door to 7 men.
"Come in!" I smiled at them. They came in after taking their shoes off and we all piled into the living room.
Tali stood there, gobsmacked.
"Tali, this is BTS." I said to her. I turned to the guys. "She's a big fan." I laughed nervously as she ran up to them and screamed. Loudly might I add.
"They're gonna look after you tonight while I go out for a little bit. Is that okay peach?" I picked her up and she nodded her head frantically.
"Who are you going out with?" She asked me.
I whispered 'suga' to her. As I had learnt that was his stage name and she'd know him better as that. She squealed and wriggled out of my arms. She started pushing me out the door and looked at yoongi.
"Hey! You! Come here." She pointed at him. He stared at the child wid eyed and bent down to her level. "Do not hurt my mam. I will hurt you. I may love you so much but she's special." I smiled at the sight. Yoongi looking terrified and the 6 other guys laughing their arses off at the intimidating 6 year old girl. He nodded, understanding the threat and walked towards me.
"Let's go." I nodded and quickly kissed Tali goodbye and thanked the boys for helping.
*flashback over*
She took the news better than I had expected. I hope they're in one piece when I get back.

So here I am, four hours later. Pissed as a fart dancing with yoongi in a club. I did not think this was how the night was going to go. His hands around my waist felt like a fire on my skin. They left a little trail as he brought them up to my face. Holy hell. Was he going to kiss me? He brought his lips next to my ear.
"Let's get out of here." He looked deep into my eyes. I nodded and followed him like a lost puppy.
20 minutes later and here we are kissing in his room.
He kissed me. His lips are so fucking soft, just like I thought. WHAT AM I DOING OMG.
I pushed him away and he looked at me.
"Are you okay? What's wrong? Am I a bad kisser?" He looked sad. I slid down the wall and started to cry.
"Woah woah woah, what's wrong? Layla why are you crying?" Yoongi bent down and hugged me but it just made me cry more. I miss him. Tom.
"I miss him yoongi." I sobbed into his chest.
"Who?"
"My husband." I looked at him.
"You're married?!" He looked at me surprised.
"I was. He's dead." I said bluntly and his eyes went wide.
"Ah Layla. I'm so fucking sorry. You don't have to tell me anything."
"No. I want to. I haven't spoke about him in a while." I looked down at my hands as I fiddled with my sleeves. I took a deep breath and started. "He was called Tom. We were together for so long Yoongi. He was my first and only love. We had Tali when I was 18. She wasnt planned at all but we were so happy you know? He died last year. He was in a car accident. We had a fight and he drove to his parents and when he was coming back, his car skidded on ice and he went onto the other side of the road. He was so helpless. He died in hospital a week later because he had brain damage and they said he'd never recover. He had seizures and strokes while there. I had to make the decision to turn his life machine off. It was so fucking hard." I choked up at the end but sighed as if a weight had been lifted.
Yoongi didn't say anything. Instead, he kissed me once again. I kissed him back with a sense of urgency. I was thankful he didn't pity me. I had enough pity last year off of everyone and I hated it.
Suddenly I was stood up and pushed against the wall. The kiss deepened and we moved to the bed. What was I getting myself into? Who was this new person who I'd become?
