Leila POV

I sat at the table typing away on my laptop, when I feel a presence behind me.

"Cant you at least announce yourself instead of skulking about in the shadows?" I sigh, not even moving.

"Being shady is what I do best" He chuckled from behind me.

I turned to face him, he was grinning from ear to ear like a Cheshire cat, standing tall with his hands casually in his pockets.

"Alec what do you want?, I have work to do"

"No," He said, stepping beside me "We have some catching up to do so it seems"

I squint at him and then roll my eyes when I realised he wasn't going to let up, standing from the table and closing my laptop, then following him as he sauntered into the living room.

"Okay what" I said, sitting on the chase of the couch, fixing the oversized hoody, so that sat over me comfortably.

"No no no" He said as he slouched back on the other side of the couch, and wagged his finger at me "You ain't gonna pop off with that attitude with me Lala, I ain't your rapper boy toy, I ain't having that shit"

"We have made amens of sorts" I snort "Fine, so Marshall and I have met before, as you've figure from your little, eves dropping adventure"

"It was Mon, anyway... I always had a feeling you both had crossed paths, considering the fact you use to worship him, and then you abruptly stopped, what he do?"

I thought to myself for a moment.

Was it worth mentioning to Alec the whole story?

What would his reaction be like?

I wasn't sure if I should be worried or not.
.but at the same time I knew I had to be honest because I would never forgive Alec if he had lied to me.

"Remember my twenty-first birthday? Well I met him that night and we kinda spent the week together"

He frowned at me in surprise "I knew something was suss, you saying you were going away on some girls trip with Laura, what a fuckin' sneak... Did Laura know?"

I should my head "No, because the way it ended, I was humiliated"

The smile disappears from his face "The way it ended? Why were you humiliated? What he do to you, Lala?"

Suddenly regretting my choice of words, panic rose in my chest as the image of Alec waiting to pistol-whip Marshall as he stepped off the plane filled my head.

"Don't get angry, I'm a big girl"

"I'm not angry" He said, voice borderline monotone "Tell me"

"After spending the week whispering sweet nothings to me and making me feel special, the last afternoon we were together he kinda said some really hurtful things, insinuating that I was nothing but an easy lay and that..."

"Finish it, Lala"

"That Tommy was lucky to be dead because I was clingy"

Alec's face twisted in anger, like he had swallowed poison "What the fuck, why didn't you tell me?" He stood "I'm gonna make his stupid ass sorry-"

"What's the point now Alec? He was fucked up on drugs? It's was thirteen years ago, the fact is he's sorry about it now, and he doesn't even remember, and we're working on it"

Alec kissed his teeth "Who the fuck does he think he was calling you easy"

"Drugs make people say dumb shit"
