————————————————————————————

Daniels POV:

My smile slowly dropped when I saw her at the diner, my heart started beating faster, I didn't know if I'd see her ever again. I couldn't move. I could tell she was just as shocked, I wanted to run up to her and hug her.

Some guy comes up behind her and places both hands on her shoulders, she shrugs them away. Still in shock she whispers. "D-Daniel?" The guy behind her furrows his eyebrows, he steps in front of her, saying somethings to her. She nods, he then turns around to face me, fire blazing in his eyes. His jaw tensed, he looked like he was capable of murder.

I didn't know what was happening, but I knew I've seen enough and jumped to my feet so fast it made my head spin. I approach them. "Princess" I bow my head in respect. Her eyes not leaving mine she doesn't move, neither does the guy beside her. His jaw twitched in anger.

I hold out my hand, expecting him to take and shake it. He doesn't. He just looks at me with complete hatred, Isla runs into my arms and hugs me. I return the hug tucking my head on her bare shoulders, wrapping my arms around her waist.

She pulls away earlier then I wanted, and returns to beside the guy, him putting his hands on her shoulders protectively. "Uh Adrian this is Daniel. Daniel, Adrian" she introduces us, he scoffs, mumbling a few words under his breath to which Isla elbows him in the rib.

We sat down and we "caught up" the whole time, 'Adrian' either gave me dirty looks or yawned.
Let's say there's a reason he isn't a famous actor.
Yes it was that obvious.

A phone rang and Adrian, got up from his seat answering it. He put it to his ear and moved away so we couldn't hear the conversation.
I looked at Isla, god I missed her.

I missed the look she gave me.
I missed her smile.
I missed her laughs.
I missed her smell.
I missed the times we snuck out to get take out.
I missed when she made me read all her notes at meetings.

She put her hand out on the table, I reach for it, holding it in mine. Giving her a smile, she returns it, with her dimples on show. But only I could tell it was a fake smile.

"I missed you" I say.

She nods "same"

"Where did you go?" She asks barely above a whisper, I attempt avoiding eye contact.
"When you left me at the club I mean" she says. I nod slowly, "I had to leave you there, besides I know the club owner.. you were left in good hands" I lie.
I'm not a good liar, but she can't tell.

The guys beside her gets up his biceps flexing from every little move he done, he moves out the booth and takes out his phone.
He leaves out of hearing distance without another word, dialling a number.

"Who's he?" I ask. She shrugs not looking up from the menu, I could tell she had something on her mind.

She was thinking.

"What're you thinking about?" I say snapping her out of her thoughts, she looks up at me.
Hatred in her eyes, she speaks. "What do u get out of lying Daniel?" She squints.

What's she taking about.

"What do you mean Isla?" I say, she smiles ever so slightly. Let's just say she looks insane.
"Why did I leave me?" She asks again.
I chuckle awkwardly trying to get rid of the weird vibe.
