Obsessed with you

Chapter 20

Three days had passed since she was in the hospital. Today, she could leave and go home. She was excited, but anxious at the same time. They still didn't have found Joseph, Danita and Frank.

The police asked her everything that happened and asked to Sebastian the videos. A torture to talk and see about.

"Just one last thing before you leave." The officer looked at his notebook as he wrote something before looking back at Layla. "Do you have somewhere else to go? Just in precaution. We wouldn't want to see you again in the conditions you were."

"Like another city?"

"Another city, another state..."

"What about another country?" Sebastian asked curiously.

The gently officer thought for a minute. Was it a good idea? At least, yes it was, for the time they were trying to find the criminals and proceeded the trial.

"Where do you have in mind?"

"Japan, Spain, Greece. I have a house at these places."

"Japan?" I want to go back there."

"I don't know miss Hardin. It's really far and you wouldn't have enough protection like you have here."

"Please..." She begged. "And if it's for my own safety, I can choose no?"

"Yeah, seeing that on this way, it's true. Okay fine. But only both of you. I can't risk to send Mary and Eric with you."

"What?"

"Miss, it would be too dangerous for all of you. I'm sorry, but I promise I'll send a car every hour too see if they're alright. I'll send you a text via an email you'll create every morning and every night."

"It's okay, little blossom. Go there. We will be fine. I want you safe."

It sounded like a goodbye. She didn't like this. She would love to leave with them. Never she left them for that long except when Joseph kidnapped her. She didn't want to leave them here alone. It was dangerous. Not again.

"It's too dangerous!" She started panicking "they need to leave too. What if Joseph comes to hurt them?"

"Little blossom, listen to me..." Mary placed her hands on Layla's cheeks. "We talked about this when you were asleep. Sebastian has a house in Miami we could go for a while. We planned everything except which country you would go, but you decided Japan to this gentleman. So while you're in Japan looking at these wonderful cherry blossom trees, we will taking good time in Miami. I promise we will be fine. Go there, I know you crave to go back there. Your bag is already prepared to leave."

"But-"

"No but young lady." They hugged her tightly and Eric turned to Sebastian. "I'm begging you... take care of both of you."

"I will, I promise."

They gave each other one last hug before they left on their side. Sebastian on the right and the old couple on the left.

"My driver is there and will drive us to the airport."

"Okay..." she turned face to him. "Can we stop somewhere before?"

"Where?"

"The hairdresser. I want to cut my hair."

"Oh okay." That was an odd request, but he couldn't disappoint her. "Eh yes, we can stop. My hairdresser is on the way." Another lie. "Please Marco, drive us to Luxury Salon." He said to his driver once they were both to his car.

They drove in silence for few hours until they arrived to Sebastian's salon and he called -almost screamed- for Fabio. A cute Latino with his hands full of bols of colours and scissors came to welcome him.
