"Yo" replied Harry.
"How you're doing?" asked Julia.
"Good" replied Harry.
"Don't you want to ask me how am I doing?" asked Julia.
"Do I have to?" asked Harry in returned.
"Of course. We're used to date after all" replied Julia.
"Ah, yes. Then, you cheated on me" said Harry.
"Look, I'm sorry about that. I thought this soccer had no future and you just waste your time" replied Julia.
"So, that's why you cheated on me, huh?" asked Harry.
"Well, can you blame me? I need attention from you" replied Julia.
"Isn't that I already gave you enough?" asked Harry.
"Enough? No. You spend more time with your mom and soccer compared to how much time you spend with me" replied Julia.
"Okay, 1st of all, we're in England now. So for fuck sake, stop saying soccer. 2nd thing is what the fuck is wrong with spending more time with a woman that gave birth of me?" asked Harry furiously.
"Don't you think it's lame spending time with your mother? You're a boy, Harry" replied Julia.
"So what? You never know how does it feels when parents got divorced. That time, I only have her in Brazil while my dad and sister were in Scotland. So, you expecting me to spend more time with you?" asked Harry.
"Look, Harry. I don't want to argue with you here. I just want us to be back together" said Julia.
"No, thanks" replied Harry.
"That easy?" asked Julia.
"Yes" replied Harry before walked away. He then stopped at a park and sit on a bench there.
"Why must her of all people?" muttered Harry alone.
"Why must who?" asked Tegan that suddenly appeared.
"Shit. Damn, Steff. If I have a heart attack, I will surely die" replied Harry. Tegan giggled while took a seat beside Harry.
"Sorry. So, what happened? You seem so pissed off" said Tegan.
"Well, I came across with my ex-girlfriend just now" replied Harry.
"How many ex-girlfriend do you have?" asked Tegan.
"Just 2. You and the daughter of USA ambassador in Brazil" replied Harry.
"What is she doing here?" asked Tegan.
"I don't know and I'm not interested to know" replied Harry.
"Why did you both broke up?" asked Tegan.
"I caught her cheating on me with other boy. She blamed me for spending more time with football and my mother compared to her" replied Harry.
"Really? What a weird girl" said Tegan.
"I know. Now, she tried to get me back together with her" replied Harry.
"So, do you accept her back?" asked Tegan.
"Hell no. Besides... Nevermind. By the way, what are you doing here in Leicester? I didn't heard any news that you have a show here" replied Harry.
"Well, I'm not involve in NXT UK this week, so I thought that I want to check you out" said Tegan.
"That's sweet of you" replied Harry.
