Chapter 13

It's only been 3 days since he asked me to be his girlfriend I feel like the main character from a cheesy romcom. I'm sipping tea on my break at the coffee shop when I get a text.

~x(hey beautiful just wanted to see how your days going and I can't stop think about you;) )

*l (it's going great! Awe you have been on my to mind handsome 🥺 how's yours?)

2 m later

~( better than earlier and I'm glad so What are your plans later?)

Oh maybe he wants to go on a date again! Oh go uh I'll just say I'm free.

*l( yea! I'm free why you ask sir😌?)

1 minute later

~x( well I didn't know if we could talk?)

Great I knew it not even 48 hours and he wants to call it quits forget me trying to catch feelings 🙄.

*l( sure! You can come to place if you want I'll have the apartment to myself rose is going to be out with Zander again so does take out sound good?🙂)

~x( ok! Sure I'd love that and I'm glad they are hitting it off! I'll be there at 7 :))

*l( ok:))

Damn it what does he  wanna talk about? I look at my phone and it says it's 2:30 , I better start cleaning .

3 hours later...

I finally light my blueberry cheesecake candle and go get ready I just put on a pair of sweatpants , a hoodie a natural makeup look to top it off a messy bun.

"DING DONG "

I get nervous and cross my fingers to hope this night will end good.
===================
"So your saying your leaving? To where?"

*sighs sadly "I half to go to London England to sign some important paper with tradesmen for my company."

"Oh I see ,how long will you be gone?"

"No longer ,than two weeks!"

"Oh...we'll be safe!"

" I wanna take you with me so bad! But there very dangerous people Layla! And I don't trust them."

"It's ok I understand! I will just work on my job and stay busy." I said with a fake smile even tho I really didn't want him to go alone.

He kisses my forehead and I watch as the man of my dreams walks away into the dark.

================

The next day:

Meep! Meep! Meep!

I hate alarms I get up and the first thing I think about is his hands on my body and I quiver in my robe at just the thought of his touch...

But of course my over thinking mind ruins it, what if he really didn't want me to go because of a girl!? Or maybe he's to embarrassed to take me with him...

I HATE MY MIND...

I get up take a quick shower and throw on my work clothes and throw my hit in a messy bun all well I'm running late!

I race down the street and just make to my job when

BAM!!💥

I ran into this poor gentleman who stood at maybe 6'1 ? But he doesn't beat Xavier's 6'6. Layla? Why are you comparing them quit🤦🏽‍♀️.

"I'm so sorry I was running late for work can I help in any way!?"

The man stood straight and looked at me and just stopped , I was so confused and star struck at the same time? His curls and his very structured face made my stomach butterflies. Layla snap out of this, I shake it off and walk into work . Not even giving the poor man a chance to speak, I felt bad but i was late for work.

"Layla! I should fire you this is twice now that you have slept over your schedule! "

Before I could speak I'm interrupted.

" it was not her fault ,sir it was mine I didn't watch where I was going and nearly knocked over the poor girl!"

His accent kinda awed me so calming so Elegant as if he should be on downtown Abby?

"So don't blame her,blame me."

My boss rolled his eyes and went back to his office .

"Thank ..you oh my gosh! You don't relies how much I appreciate that! Is there anything I can do?"

"Your welcome miss ? "

"Mathews,Layla Mathew's.."

He shook my hand ever so slowly

"Nice to meet you Layla, I'm Malcom Darien and I would you join me for a cup of coffee ? "

I'm shocked but also not shocked we'll yeah I am what am I saying I can't except this offer I have a boyfriend! Maybe he wants to be friends quit building your ego so high Layla he's just trying to be nice.

I smile " but how can I ? I half to get to work ?"

" it's ok we can sneak in that corner and sip it for few trust me we will be fine."

I look around and then give in and we sit and have a taste of Bobby's best brew of coffee in town.

========
"So is this all you do miss Layla or are you attending college?"

"No I finished college a couple years ago ,but what about you ? You majoring anything?"

" I am a transfer college professor at the college down the block."

" really? But your so young? !"

" gotta start somewhere"

"How long do plan on staying in the city?

" I guess how ever long they need me I am being paid top dollar ,can't be that "

"True "

We both share a giggle.

"so may I ask miss Mathew's ?"

"Yes?"

Great hear we go would you like to have a one night stand ? Would you like to have a threesome? Yeah I've been asked that before.

"Are you taken by any chance or free sometime to do this again?

I'm sat there shocked and a little lost in thought bc I hate disappointing people but I am taken and I would never cheat on Xavier I would half to be dumb even if I can't get over the fact that he could possibly be doing it anyway...

" I.. I am taken,yes! And I'm sorry but it probably wouldn't be best to keep seeing each other"

Fuck! Why did I come on as so harsh🤦🏽‍♀️

He paused and didn't say anything for what seemed like 2m.

" Oh I see... but Layla..can you at-least tell me if you had a spark or not ? I know you had to feel that.."

What do I say! Like I did but my heart is to Xavier...

===============
I'm back guys sorry for the long wait I have been everywhere on Gods green earth but be prepared for more to come! 😁
