This is Love.

Chapter 20: Daniel's POV- (Part 2)

Daniel's POV: Friday Night-
"Thank f*** its Friday", I said as I dashed my coat on the sofa and poured myself a shot of Hennessy.

I had a meeting after work, and I was so tired. I saw my phone flashing on the table next to me, it was my boy James "Yo Dan! Do you want to go out tonight for drinks?" He asked.

"Yeah for sure" I replied.

"Cool, Lucas and I will meet you around 8pm at Pluto Arms?" James said.

"Yeah cool bro", I agreed before we both ended the phone call.

As soon as we got to the bar, we ordered  3 large pints of beer to start us off. We were laughing, and having a good time when I looked up and saw a beautiful black girl in a yellow crop top and shorts across the room.

I had to double take as I was not sure if it is Mila or not, she started to walk over with the most beautiful smile. She said hi to all of us, and she was holding on to the bar stool to keep her balanced which was hilarious to me.

She always tried to keep up this angel appearance, when I knew she had a crazy side. I saw James, and  Lucas gawking at Mila so I quickly got up and gave her a hug. I kissed her cheek, and complimented her.

After introducing my boys to her, James had the cheek to kiss her hand. I shut that down quickly, I was curious to know who she was here with.

Mila told me she was here with her work crew. I looked over to see them all laughing, drinking and playing games. As Mila, my friends and I continued to talk a tall Caucasian male walked over and placed his arm around Mila's waist .

Jealousy, and anger shot through my body. Straight away I went into defensive 'boyfriend' mode, I got all up into his face. Yes she was not my girlfriend (yet), but I hoped she would be soon.

This guy and I conversed back and forth but his cockiness, was getting me even more mad.

I had to hit him.

We started throwing blows back and forth, my adrenaline was pumping.  I did not even notice that my face was spewing with blood, but he was definitely in worse shape than me.

I could  faintly hear Mila screaming behind me, but there was no way I was backing down. I had to teach this punk ass a lesson, next thing I know, I was out on the street my head was throbbing James and Lucas were asking if I was okay.

All I could focus on was Mila, I saw her walking away crying hysterically as she got into an Uber. I ran to the car, and apologised over, and over but she didn't want to know. She continued to cry, and begged the driver to drive away from me, my heart was broken.

Daniel's POV: Indie's 26th birthday-
Mila was still not speaking to me. Tonight was Indie's party, and I didn't know if I wanted to go I felt so bad about last night. The swelling on my face had gone down, but I still looked rough.

I'm going to swallow my pride, and go  to this party tonight. Indie invited me, I'm going to take full advantage of this opportunity.

After work I got home, and had a long hot shower. I quickly heated up left over pizza, from last night and left. Once I arrived at Indie's house, I took a deep breath before I got out the car.

I walked to the door, and a mature woman opened the door for me. I assumed she was either Indies mum, an aunt or family friend of Indie. I greeted her with a handshake, and I was led to the garden which looked incredible. I quickly slotted myself into the line whilst I saw that everyone was socialising,and  distracted.
