Layla- ( stretches yawning as she straightens out beneath the sheets before looking over and freezing mid stretch to find the bed empty. furrowing her brows together she looks around) Brent?
Brent- she's awake.
Layla- ( presses her lips together before letting her eyes sweep over him and she blinks a couple times before wiping her mouth and then holding the sheets to her chest she sits up and leans against the head board to take him in )

Layla- ( pulls her legs up to her chest) how long have you been awake?
Brent- a few hours ( turns towards her his arm falling to his sides and doesn't hide the fact his eyes roam over her as she gets up and pulls his shirt on to cover her)
Layla-so is this where we do the thing.. to break the awkwardness ( smiling knowing she looks a fright her hair bushy and her eyeliner smeared)
Brent- ( chuckles leaning back against the glass) you don't need to be awkward.. you damn sure wasn't awkward last night.. or the night before that.
Layla- ( snickers dropping her head pursing her lips) yeah well. ( glances up at him before walking to him) no need for your head to swell ( narrows her eyes at him but leans her hip against the window and her arm on the metal bar and looks out at the ocean) you can officially write me in your book of names.
Brent- ( snorts) book of names.
Layla- ( smiling mischievously) the book that contains all the women you've fucked in the past six years.
Brent-( shakes his head chuckling) your the wife of Satan I swear im surprised my dick didn't burn off.
Layla- ( gasps in playful offense and smacks his chest)
Brent- ( laughs grabbing her wrist and yanking her towards him) bitch.
Layla- ( leans up and kisses him) you love it.
Brent- that I do ( releases her wrist and runs his hand up her arm over her shoulder and down her back and stopping just above the curve of her ass) quite frankly I don't remember any of their names.. because I never said them while fucking them only one name has ever came out of my mouth.
Layla- please dont say it..
Brent- Layla. ( pulls her up against him) you were the name that I said while fucking those women.. so no you don't belong in this so called book of names..
Layla- I should be offended ( sighs rolling her eyes) but then again im also morbidly pleased at the absolute horror the girls probably felt
Brent- ( bursts out laughing)
Layla- ( follows him into his mirth putting her face against his peck) we are horrible humans.
Brent- mm ( bending and picking her up) your not horrible ( presses an open mouthed kiss to her jaw) your to good of a person to be horrible.
Layla- I hope you get your mojo back Brent, your not you without it.
Brent- ( snorts )
Layla- ( chuckles framing his face with her hands) your smiling but your eyes they look sad ( furrows her brow)
Brent- ( swallows and looks away from her and sets her down)
Layla- ( looking up at him in confusion)
Brent- there is something I have to tell you..
Layla- okay ( looks at him warily)
Brent- ( sighs moving away from her to grab out the documents and letter and holds it out to her)
Layla- ( looks at him then at the papers before taking them out of his hands and looking at them)
Brent- ( shoves his hands in his pockets)
Layla-when? ( still looking at the letter) when do you have to leave?
Brent- six weeks.
Layla- ( nods and slowly folds the documents and the letter up) what about your degree?
Brent- I can still finish it once im back in Germany online of course.. Layla-
Layla- no yeah uh ( runs her hand through her hair and turns from him to grab some pants out of her bag and puts them on and sits down on the bed still clutching the papers) when did you get these?
Brent- a few days ago ( sits down beside her his elbows on his thighs his hands limp)
Layla- I don't.. you've lived in the U.S for six years I ( wrinkles her nose looking up at him) what?
Brent- this doesn't change anything.
Layla- ( laughs brokenly) how can it not change anything? ( swipes at her face angrily and looks down at the documents in her hand)
Brent- Baby ( reaches for her before sighing and dropping his arm down when she moves away)
Layla- so your being deported back to Germany. for how long ( turns to him her nose red as well as her eyes from holding back tears)
Brent- well for at least four years. and then I can reapply for my green card. for the second time.
Layla- okay well ( begins pacing) at least now you can talk your dad into getting a better vehicle
Brent- ( chuckles humorlessly)
Layla-( tries to smile but stops pacing as her breathing picks up)
Brent-( swallows seeing her fight to have control) stop fighting it..
Layla- there's absolutely nothing we can do?
Brent- ( shakes his head) no baby..
Layla- ( nods licking her bottom lip)
Brent- look at me ( frames her face with his hands and tilts her head back) your my girl you always have been. this ( slips the paper from her hand and lets it fall to the floor) this wont change it. so I need you to listen and listen carefully because im only going to say it once.
Layla- ( searching his gaze and she has to clinch her jaw tightly )
Brent- Layla Lukas I Brent Storm have hated and loved you from day one ( chuckles) but I don't know when it happened maybe it happened the day in Colorado when you showed me your scar or the time you poured hot coffee over my head because I told you the boy you were seeing was to much of a puss to kiss you and you could do better. Or maybe I loved you the first time I laid eyes on you it's all so confusing ( rubbing his thumbs back and forth slowly and not breaking eye contact) I love you.. when I say i hate you too i don't mean it i mean to tell you that I love you so much that sometimes it physically hurts to look at you.
Layla- (lets out a watery giggle holding his hands to her face)
Brent- I love you Baby girl ( bends his head and presses his lips to her forehead) I love you so much..
Layla- ( lets out a strangled sob) Damn it.
Brent- I know ( runs his thumb under her eye to wipe away the tears that finally won the battle) go ahead I can take it.
Layla- ( shakes her head reaching up the same time he picks her up and she clings to him tightly burying her face against his neck one hand digging into his hair probably painfully but he doesn't say anything only holds her tighter against him as he sits back down)
Brent- ( continuously swallows to clear the lump in his throat at her shaky sobs that wreck her body so forceful it vibrates through him like a second skin he hates this seeing her cry he fucking hates it more when it's because of him so he just pulls her further into him and nuzzles into her neck)
