Runaway Daddy (Waterloo road)

014

Layla was sitting in bed. She was overthinking the kiss she had worn Tom. She knew she regretted it. Especially after how he had turned on her.

She looked up as Polly ran into the bedroom. She smiled. "Daddy want take me beach!" She said.

Layla frowned. "What do you mean baby?"

Polly giggled. "Daddy want to take me to the beach! He tells me the other day! I cited to go," she told her.

Layla was confused. She didn't know why Tom would all of a sudden want to take Polly to the beach. She smiled. "Baby I don't think daddy is going to take you to a beach. Not yet anyway."

Polly pouted and ran off. Layla sighed as she sat up. She had no idea what Tom was playing at. But she knew it wouldn't be good.

Layla arrived at work after taking Polly to daycare. Tom was standing outside with Max. Layla walked over to Max. "Good luck finding Charley now. She's gone and you won't ever find her," she spat.

Max frowned. "You mean she's done a runner with my unborn child?"

Layla nodded and smirked. She winked. "You're not getting your hands on that baby girl. And Charley has saved her from having scum for a father," she said as she walked off.

She turned back and saw that Max ran to his car and sped off. Tom walked over to her. "What the hell are you playing at?"

Layla shrugged. "Getting him away from here for the day so that Charley can come into work. You know she does work here. And seeing that prick isn't helping her."

Tom scoffed. "You're a sick bitch. You know that?"

"Oh I know. I'm not as sick as you. Telling Polly you're taking her to the beach? You don't go to the beach. What? You planning on taking her and not bringing her back? Trying to do a Max Tyler?"

Tom rolled his eyes. "Am I not allowed to take my daughter out?"

Layla said nothing as she walked off. She didn't want to be around Tom. Not when deep down, she still wanted him.

Rachel smiled as she looked at her daughter. "Are you okay love?" She asked.

Layla nodded and sighed. "I'm fine. I just have a headache. Polly was a little demon this morning. I don't know what was up with her. She's driving me mad sometimes."

Rachel smiled. "I'll have her tonight if you want love. I've missed her. Plus you could do with a break."

Layla nodded and sighed. "Thanks mum."

Layla walked into Charley's classroom. She smiled. "Hey. I got Max out the way for you."

"You tried babes. He saw me. He told me that he's getting a court order so that I can't leave while pregnant. I'm stuck here," Charley said.

Layla sighed. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I just can't escape Max Tyler."

***
Layla was sitting in the flat. She was thankful of the break she was getting from Polly. But she loved her daughter. There was a knock at the door.

Layla stood up and opened it. Tom pushed her inside. Their lips met in a heated and passionate kiss. He pushed her against the wall.

The two of them ripped off each other's clothes. Layla bit her lip and pushed him away. "Stop it. We're not going this. Not at all."

Tom smirked. "I know you still want me."

Layla pushed him out the flat. But how long could she keep on resisting Tom Clarkson?
