"Harry called" I told Jason. He was the only one who knew me and Harry slept together, but being the idiot he had hasn't realised that he's the father. He can really be a dick sometimes. "What did he want?". After I told Jason about Harry leaving without saying a word, he took it upon himself to make Harry his worst enemy. "He asked me to meet him again because he would like to go over some things" I explained to him.

Jason rolled his eyes and shook his head as he fed Sophia some banana and strawberry flavoured baby food. Her favourite. "I'm not accepting that. I forbid you to go". I rolled my eyes at his protectiveness and quickly put my shoes on. "Where do you think you're going?".

"To see Harry. I'm sure you can look after Sophia for me right?". Jason crossed his arms over his chest. "You can't be serious Cleo? He fucked you about! You didn't deserve that and he'll probably do it again and again". I chewed my lip slightly before moving a strand of hair behind me ear. "Jason, I'm two years older than I was back then. I'm more mature. I can look after myself". As Jason thought about what I said, I quickly took that opportunity and ran out my apartment and out the building, making my way back to Starbucks once again.

Once inside Starbucks, my eyes were immediately drawn to Harry who was unsurprisingly talking to some waitress. Well, I say talking but it was probably flirting.

Harry turned his head and smiled at me making the waitress look over and glare. "Cleo, hey. How long you been standing there for?" He asked as he stood up and walked over. "Like 2 minutes why?". I eyed him up suspiciously as he slipped an arm around my waist and led me to the table he was sat at. He quickly pulled out my chair out for me before sitting back down.

"My girlfriend will have a hot chocolate please" Harry told the waitress with a smirk. I stared at the boy in shock. Girlfriend?! Since when?! The waitress scoffed before walking away making a chuckle come from the boy opposite me. "Sorry. She hasn't left me alone since I got here" he explained. "Well I'm sure you enjoyed the attention, am I right?" I stated sarcastically before rolling my eyes.

"What did you want then?". Harry raised an eyebrow before humming to himself. "I just can't get over the fact that you have a daughter. You kept that a good secret". Raising an eyebrow myself, I nodded my head slightly. "Well why would I tell you? You were out of my life and for what I thought was for good".

"Come on Cleo. I would of helped you if you had told me". I rolled my eyes and thanked the waitress as she slammed down my hot chocolate causing some to spill on the table. Harry glared at the girl before getting a tissue and cleaning up the mess she had made. "No feelings were involved remember Harry. That was your request". Harry's eyes widened in shock as he shook his head. "I was stupid to suggest it. So when's her birthday? Maybe I could throw her a small party?" He asked. "December 24th.." I mumbled now getting very suspicious at all the questions. 

I looked into Harry's eyes and noticed the clogs in his brain working away like he was trying to piece things together. Suddenly, realisation hit me and it hit me hard. He was working out if he was the dad! Quickly, I stood up from my spot and grabbed my bag.

"I have to go. I have a meeting" I said far to quickly for it to be believable. As soon as I got outside, I felt a hand grasp my wrist. Turning around I saw Harry staring at the floor. "Cleo. Be honest with me when I ask this ok?". I knew what the question was be and hell I wasn't ready to answer it. Taking a deep breath, I looked down at my phone. "Harry, I seriously have to go" I mumbled trying to get out his reach but he wouldn't let go.

Suddenly, people with big cameras started to surround us shouting questions from every direction.

"Harry is this your girlfriend?!".

"Harry who is this?!".

"Harry is this your new girl toy Harry?!".

I stared at Harry in shock. Was this really what the media thought of him? I mean sure he can be a bit of a douchebag but he was minding and caring when it came to those he cared about. He was someone who deserved to know he had a daughter in his life.

"Harry get off me" I mumbled but he still wouldn't budge. "HARRY I SAID GET OFF ME!" I shouted loudly before shoving him away from me. I stared at Harry with tears in my eyes as he looked shocked at my outburst. There was no way that I was letting Sophia get mixed up in a life of cameras and screaming people as well as hate being thrown at her. I could put up with it but I wasn't letting her.

Harry reached out to me with a pleading look in his eyes. "Cleo please hear me out.." he pleaded with me. I shook my head and quickly rubbed my eyes. "I don't have to put up with this Harry and neither does OUR daughter" I said before running as fast as I could away from the photographers and away from Harry.
