(Reece's pov)

This is such a long day. It's only lunch, and I can't wait for it to be over. It's felt like the whole day already, and I still have just over half left.
"Reece?" Carly questions.
"Yes Carls?"
"You haven't even touched your lunch. Are you okay? Do you need me to call Marjorie?" she questions, looking at me with concern filled eyes.
"I'm okay love. Just spaced out that's all." I tell her, picking up my sandwich and taking a bite, as to not concern her anymore.
"Okayyy. By the way Marjorie is coming here later." she says.
"Wait why?" I question.
"Dropping off some of my coursework. Why did that get you worried?" she questions.
"I just thought maybe something was wrong, that's all." I lie, hoping she doesn't catch on.
"Okay, anyways gotta go, lunch over. Bye Reece!" she says, making a swift exit.

I put down my lunch, and turn back o my computer.
I respond to a few angry emails, nothing from the ordinary, just parents angry their child got dirty at nursery, or their child didn't eat everything.
I am interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in!" I yell, taking my eyes off the computer, turning to the door. Marjorie walks in, nothing in her hands.
"Hey you. Just dropping some things off for Carly."
"Where are they?" I question, and she looks taken aback.
"Whatever happened to hello? Or how are you? I already dropped them to Carly, I just wanted to come see your face, hear your voice." she says, taking steps back closer to the door.
"Sorry. I just have work, can't waste time like some." I say, folding my arms.
"Oh I'm sorry baby." she says, her smile dropping off her face.
"Whatever."

"Reece?" she asks, stepping closer to me.
"What Marjorie?" I spit out.
"Are you okay? Carly said you were a bit off earlier, and evidently you are. What's up?" she questions, now standing right in front of me.
"Nothing Marjorie. I told Carly I was fine, and I am." I say, regretting every word. I want to tell her, but I just can't.
"You sure baby? You can tell me anything, I am your girl." she says, smiling as she unfolds my arms, taking my hands in hers and gently squeezing them.
"I'm fine." I spit out, forcefully snatching my hands back. "Now leave my office!" I yell at her, and she nods, clearly taken aback, but not wanting to push.
"I'm sorry baby. I love you Reecey." she says, backing away.
"Love you too." I whisper, not knowing if she even heard me, as she exits my office.

I look out of my window, and watch her make her way out of the car park, not in a car though. She walked here, fuck me. I just kicked her out and she now has to walk back.
"Reece?" Carly questions.
"Yes Carly?"
"Did I just hear Marjorie?"
"Yes. She came to drop off your coursework, you know that." I answer, confused.
"Is it in here?" she asks, looking around.
"She said she handed it to you." I reply, and we both have the same confused look on our faces.
"She didn't." Carly responds, and I dart out the door, running through the car park, and down the side of the road, trying to catch up to her.
I see her in the distance, so I speed up, which I wasn't really sure if I could.
"Marjorie!!" I yell, and she stops and turns around.
I finally catch up to her, and see the tears flowing down her cheeks.
"Baby." I whisper, trying to catch my breath.

"What are you doing Reece?" she says between sobs.
"Coming to find you. You walked to my nursery? And didn't bring Carly anything?" I question and she looks down at the ground.
I lift her chin up, forcing her to look me in the eyes.
"Talk to me." I say, moving my hands to wipe the falling tears.
"I'm sorry." she says.
"What for baby?"
"For being annoying back there. I didn't mean to. I just wanted to speak to you, hear your voice, see your face." she says, moving her hands up to hold either side of my face.
"You don't need to apologise. It's my fault. What's happened?" I ask.
"Your father called me." she whispers.
"What? What did he want?" I say, trying to keep calm.

"He said that I need to break up with you. That I was ruining the 'Knight reputation' so I had to leave. He said I either break up with you or he will kill everyone I love, including you." she says, trying not to let anymore tears fall.
"Oh baby."
"That's why I came to your nursery. I didn't want everyone's life on the line because of me. So I was going to do it, but then I saw your face. And realised I couldn't do it, I love you way too much. I don't want this to be the last time I touch your face Reece." she says, letting the tears fall now.
"It won't be baby. I will deal with my dad, I'll get Aut to help. This won't be the last time, because I love you so fucking much. And I will never let anyone hurt you. And I need you, I can't have you gone. I was drowning, and meeting you was like coming up for air, and I never want to go back under again." I say, tears falling from both our faces now.
I hold her waist, and her hands are still on my face, wiping away tears, which is pointless, as more keep falling.
I pull her close into me and connect our lips, in the most deep and love filled kiss I can. She moves her arms, so they are wrapped around my neck, allowing her to deepen the kiss more.
