I know places.
Guilt
"Here we go nice and warm." I sit beside my granddad on a chair next to his bed. I fill a spoon with some soup and feed him slowly.
"Lyla, you ok, you don't see yourself lately?" He kindly ask me.
"I'm fine granddad." I smile and keep feeding him.
"Lyla, honey that think keeps going off" My gran comes in the room holding out my phone. "It's so loud" she hands it to me while she takes my spot and feeds the rest of the soup to granddad.
"Umm hello" I take my phone to the next room."
"Hey Lyla." Who is this.
"Ah hi?"
"Sorry it's Harry, mum gave me your number." I smile. "Hey how are you?"
"Good, good. You free tonight?" I freeze for a moment and recall the meeting Jack and I had.
Flashback:
"Why didn't you tell me you knew him Lyla?" He looks disappointed. "Ah, I don't know." I pick my nail polish. "This is perfect"
I look up "Huh?"
"If you keep spending time with him, you can find out every single detail about his life."
"No I'm not going to to do that. I can't." My eyes widen,
"You can and you will, I will increase your pay by double."
"Lyla you there?"
"Yea tonight sounds great" I bite my thumb nail.
"Great I'll pick you up, say about eight"
"No I'll come to you." He can't see where I live.
"Ok sure, see ya soon"
"Ok bye" I hang up and go in my room and find something to wear.
"Don't you look fancy"

My gran says as I sit on the couch putting my shoes on.
"Thanks I'm meeting a friend, I won't be long" I buckle my left shoe.
"It''s ok sweetheart you deserve a life as well." She rubs my back. "I'll see you later, call me if you need anything" I stand up and kiss her cheek.
As I drive to Harry's and think back to my conversation with Jack, I mean I'm not going to do it, I may just feed his little bits of information, now that he is doubling my pay. I really enjoy Harry's company and I want to know and hang out with him more.
He doesn't know anything about my life, mainly because I'm a closed book, but him knowing nothing about my crapy life is better, if he found out the truth he may think less of me. As I drive I turn up the radio and Perfect is playing.
But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
I sing out loud in the car
BABY YOUR PERFECT!
I arrive at Harry's massive house and press the buzzer outside the gate. "It's me"
"Great coming."
"Hey" HE comes in the front seat and kisses me on the cheek, "Hey how are you" I smile as he belts himself in.
"good, you."
"Yea good, Where too" I ask as I reverse out of his driveway. He keys in the address on his phone and we head off.
"Crap sorry about them" We get out of the car we are at the Nice Guy restaurant, There are paps everywhere. I grab his hand and the yells begin
"WHOSE THE NEW GIRL HARRY?"
"WHAT ABOUT KENDALL"
"HARRY"
"HARRY"
"Sorry love" he says as our heads are down and we pass these mad people.
Harry takes my chair out like a gentleman for me to sit down. The waiter comes around and Harry orders us a bottle of wine. My phone buzzes.
From Jack:
Nice work Lyla, keep it up.
Attached is picture of me and Harry entering the restaurant, crap he must have someone else on assignment tonight.
"Everything ok" Harry looks up from his menu.
"Huh" I take my eyes off my phone, "Yea all good" I put it back in my bag.
I feel guilty sitting next to him but at the same time my heart wants to be here and spend more time with him.
"So how's work? Been fixing any hearts?" He smirks.
I smile, "Yea it's been like usual" Simple short answer I reply.
"How about you, bored yet?" I pick up my menu.
"No, not really, give it another couple weeks" He laughs.
"Hey you ok?" Harry ask me for about the fifth time tonight. I guess my guilt is showing.
"Yea I'm fine." He reaches his hands on the table for me to grab which I gladly accept.
"I'm really here your here with me Lyla." He smiles at me and I look down at the table.
Then some more flashes go off I turn my head and see them. "Hey wanna get out of here?" I gladly nod. He takes my hand and we head out the back as my car is waiting.
"Lyla, is that you?" I turn around but turn again and head to the car with Harry.
It was Max I guy I met while stalking Justin Bieber once, we were waiting for him at an ice cream place and just got talking.
We get in the car, "Hey was someone calling your name?" Harry ask.
"Umm no don't think so." I put the keys in the ignition
"What are you doing tomorrow night?" He ask me while my eyes concentrate in the road.
"Umm nothing" I look at him, then back at the road.
"You don't have many shifts lately?" He asks, "Yea I moved some things around" I wink.
"What you have in mind?" I ask. "Do you like Coldplay?" He asks.
"Ah yea I do actually, why's that?" I ask curiously. "Well there playing tomorrow night, you wanna go?"
"That would be amazing yea, sounds good." I smile. "Great" he grins.
"Where here" I stop the car and park in an empty car park. It's about midnight so no one is around.
He looks up from the car seat through the windscreen, "WOW"

"How did you find this place?" He ask as we both get out of the car.
"Told you I know places" I wink.
We make our way to the top on the balcony.

"Wow this is amazing" He repeats as we admire the California view. I see the corner of my eye, him looking at me. I turn to face him and smile, "Your amazing Lyla" He smiles and I bite on my lower lip, if he only knew."I'm not really" I shake my head.
"Are you kidding" He begins touching my cheek with his thumb caressing as he speaks. "Your the most amazing,kind hearted, honest, truthful person I now" He takes a step forward and his thumb traces along my lips. I can't kiss him, I can't but I want to to, deep down I want to explore things with him. "You don't even know me Harry" I look down. My breathing increases. He grabs my chin, so I can meet his eyes of innocence.
"Hey that's why were here" He looks around the lighthouse then back at me. "We can learn and get to know each other even more." I go to look away but before I know our lips crash.
Great story keep updating!
