2 days later
Me and Arlo were back in Spain whilst Carlos was in Italy with the team.

I had a shift tonight so I was leaving Arlo with my best friend Juliette.

It was 6:00pm and I was just about to leave for work.

"Mama please don't leave." Arlo clung to my leg as i patted his head.

"Oh baby, I won't be gone for long. When I come back I'll come and kiss you goodnight in bed." I tell him as he sighs.

"Wait- can i stay up for you mama?" Arlo jumps up.

"Arlo, I won't be back for a while and you need to sleep." Arlo sunk down and sat on the floor.

"I don't wanna stay with Juliette." He huffs as i gasp.

"Amor don't say that, that's rude." I look over at Juliette and give her a apologetic look.

Juliette laughs, "it's okay Arlo I understand you want to stay with your mum."

I look over at the clock.

"Shit. I really have to go now." I quickly say goodbye to Juliette and kiss Arlo goodbye.

The night was going painfully slow and the bar was full of mostly old men and women ordering sherry's.

"What the hell is going on here tonight?" I ask my co-worker Laura.

"Apparently this old people's home hired out the bar for tonight." Laura informs me as I screw my face up.

"Why the fuck would they hire out a place like this? Couldnt they hired a fancy restaurant or something." I roll my eyes as laura shrugs.

A few hours pass as i just stand at the bar pouring sherry's as a man holds his hand up to me.

I force a smile and walk over to the gentlemen.

"Could we get the bill?" He asks with a smile as i nod.

I bring the bill back over to him as he pays.

As they all start to leave I quickly wipe down the tables and start to clear up as quickly as possible so I can get home.

When I finish clearing up I say bye to laura and drive home.

When I get through the door I see Juliette on the sofa watching cars with Arlo.

"Excuse me mister, what are you still doing up?" I say from behind the sofa slightly startling Arlo.

Arlo's head turns towards me and he thinks for a second. "Juliette said I could stay up."

"Oh did she now?" I pick up Arlo tickling him as he begs me to stop.

I look at the clock as it reads 11pm.

"Okay amor, I think it's time for bed now." I tell my son as he leans his head on my shoulder.

I take him to bed tucking him in as he immediately falls asleep.

I walk back into the living room to thank Juliette.

"Thank you for watching him." I hug my best friend.

"Of course, I love looking after him." She smiles.

I stare at her tempting if I should tell her about the situation with Charles.

"Well i better get home." She says snapping me out of my thoughts.

I nod as she hugs me and leaves the house.
