what you were thinking now. I know why you couldn't stand the sight of me, but I've said what I had to. I hope you won't shut me out anymore."
He dips his head in a cute way, making me smile. I've missed him - a lot. We were good friends before we fucked it all up. I nod my head, I can try.
"Before I go, I just want you to know, I want you back. I'm gonna try my best to win you back. I want everyone to know about us. I don't give a fuck about hiding anymore. This time we do it right."
I don't think that's a good idea. There's still stuff he doesn't know, there's history here and too many emotions. Before I can talk, Leo silences me.
"Don't say anything. I want you to give me a chance. I know it's not going to be right now. You need to get your shit together. I am gonna try, and you're coming to the gig tomorrow night, right?"
I nod my head. I wouldn't miss it for anything now. He asks me to walk him to the door, and I do. I'm still in a state of shock. When we reach the door he turns to face me, kissing me gently on the forehead. "See you tomorrow, angel."
I shut the door behind me, leaning against it, staring into my empty home. What the fuck just happened?
I don't know how long I stay like that, but I decide to get into bed. I think about Leo's words. I wonder if we'd been clearer with one another, if things would have been different, could we still have been together?
That night I fall asleep with thoughts I haven't let into my mind in a long time.
Chapter 14
Tanya
I wake up the next morning feeling a little disorientated. I dreamt of Leo all night, remembering how we were, and also, of what we could have been. Sadly, I also dreamt of the baby we created, that sadly, I lost. I still grieve for our baby. Whenever I think about it, I'm still overcome with utter loss. Our baby was taken away from us. Leo has no idea he could have been a father.
I go about my morning routine as usual. When I'm in the shower, I think of Leo, and what he said. His words still shock me. I begin to wonder if maybe I imagined his visit last night.
When I'm ready to go, I leave for work. I'm glad Kendal isn't at work today, I know I'd have her questioning me all day. I can't deal with that today. I need to forget. I'm hoping work will keep my mind busy with my clients’ endless chatter.

After a busy day of non-stop hair and beauty, I'm glad to finally be home. I thought being at work would keep my mind off Leo, but I thought of nothing but him for the entire day! Him and his words. The memory of his face as he told me he wants me back sending shivers all through me.
Maisy comes over after I've been home an hour. We're getting ready together before the gig. I'm really looking forward to it, not just because I've always loved to watch Decoy's shows, but because ever since Leo left my apartment last night, I can't wait to see him again.
As I finish making my hair perfectly wavy, and my make-up fit for any rock princess, Maisy turns to me with a curious look on her face. "So, how did last night go?"
I mockingly frown back. I've been thinking about giving her a piece of my mind for telling Leo where I live, but I'm secretly glad she did. "Wouldn't you like to know?"
A surprised look crosses her face. She probably thought I was going to shout at her, I did too when I first heard from Leo that he came because Maisy told him we needed to talk. Since I saw him though, things have changed.
Maisy plants her hands on her hips. "Yes I would, and you're going to tell all, right now."
I fill her in on everything that Leo told me. Her shocked face probably looks the same as mine did last night. When I've finished talking, her face breaks out in a huge smile. "I fucking knew it! I knew you had it wrong! No way could Leo treat you like that."
I look at her with disbelief. "You were the one slagging him off!"
She laughs a little, pulling on her
