Maybe its the way I walked?

Chapter 1-London

Darcy's POV

"What a beautiful Saturday morning!" I say to my dog Mia. The sun was shining through the window in my bedroom as a light breeze swept through the half open window. Mia was up on my bed wagging her tail fiercely indicating she wanted to play. I giggled at her,as she passed me her ball to throw. I threw it for her right across the apartment so I had a minute to put a jumper on and chase after her. I walked into the kitchen and she was scratching at the cupboard where her food was stored,I took the bag of dried food out a poured her a bowl as I boiled the kettle. As she was eating I sat and had a cup of tea to wake myself up a bit.

It's 9:30am on a Saturday morning. What to do today?

"Hey Mia!" I say as she wags her tail, "do you wanna go for a walk through the park? See what's going on today?" She barks as a response as I laugh at her. "Okay,let me go get dressed then" I giggle as the small pug follows me to my bedroom.

I wash my face and brush my teeth. I apply light make-up to cover up spots but not to look to over the top for the park. I put on acid washed shorts from top shop and a cropped cami top as it's like 40 degrees outside! I fetch Mia's small lead and pick up my phone and my handbag that contains my purse just in case I decide to go to Starbucks. Typical white girl huh?;)

The walk to the park seemed longer than usual,probably because of how hot it is outside. The park was more crowded than usual so instead of walking straight along the path towards to lake,me and Mia walked along the field past endless amounts of trees. When we were near the lake I let Mia off her leash expecting her to run around,instead she sat down next to me under a tree in the shade. We just sat and watched people walk past. I rested my head on my handbag as I felt Mia's head lower onto my shoulder,I smiled to myself as I think about how much I love that dog. I've had her since I was 15 when I moved to London. She's like my bestfriend,I know that's sad but sometimes it's better to only have someone who will agree with you no matter what. Sometimes it's hard being alone but then I remember what it was like ba

"Hi there" a strong British accent says. I jump up straight away to be met with a tall,curly haired boy carrying a Starbucks coffee. "Um h.. Hi" I stutter as he laughs lightly at my choice of words. Mia is immediately up sniffing his feet and jumping up at his shins to be stroked. He giggles at her as he bends down to pet her. He sits next to me under the tree and stares out at the shimmering water. There's a kind of awkward silence between us. Well there's bound to be, a complete stranger,a complete hot stranger,has just interrupted my thoughts by appearing out of no-where and sits next to me and doesn't say a word. "So" he says interrupting my thoughts again,he really enjoys doi "what's your dogs name?" He says in a low raspy voice. "Her names Mia" I giggle at her immediate reaction when I say her name. She runs over and plonks down in between me and the stranger panting due to the heat. "What a gorgeous name,for a gorgeous dog" he smiles,petting Mia's back softly and slowly. She closes her eyes,enjoying the attention from someone new. The stranger carries on "I remember when we first me darce" wait what?! The only person who ever called me that was Harry. The name brings back painful memories. All that I can get out is a pathetic whisper "w..what?" "I remember you walking through the doors at school, and thinking 'wow,she is so beautiful' I remember turning around to Tom and asking who you were,I remember being sat next to you in physics with Mr French, I remember you coming to my house and working on a project,well we were supposed to be working on a project but we just sat and watched Disney films,and we had dinner with my mum and sister,do you remember Darcy? Do you remember the laughs? Do you remember what we had? Do you remember where it all went wrong?" I was in complete shock, it couldn't be him,there's no way it could be,it's like my whole past was creeping up on me. My past was my past for a reason. I whisper "H..ha...Harry?"

"Hello Darcy Monroe,long time no see"
