MINE

05- The truth

Knox looks at Luke with annoyance.

Layla rolls her eyes, "This house doesn't belong just to you Knox or do you want me to move out? I'll be easier for Marianne to just stay here." She said and Knoxs head snaps to her. Hurt from her words.

"Come and eat Knox, I made pasta" Layla said and he sighs before roving his shoes and coat by the door. He placed his keys and wallet on the table and sat down.

He looks at Luke who is busy eating. "Why are you here?" Knox asked Luke.

"Cause I like her cooking, the food is delicious" Luke said and Knox looked over at Layla who set a plate for Knox. "I thought you didnt enjoy cooking" he said as he took a bite.

"It's not that I didn't like cooking I just enjoyed yours more" Layla said softly with a small smile as she remembered the first time he cooked for her.

"Your house is beautiful" Layla said to Knox who was cooking in the kitchen.

Layla sat on the platform where Knox stood and cooked. He took a fork and fed her a piece of the chicken. "How are you still single?" Layla asked after tasting the chicken filled he had made.

"Because you didn't accept me yet" Knox said and Layla laughed because she though he was joking. She didn't know that a month later she'd be in a relationship with him.

And now..

She avoided looking at Knox. She heard a bell and walked over to it as Knox and Luke bickered over something pointless.

She looked back and smiled, they could be friends.

She opened the door and her smile dropped. There stood Marianne in a snugfit dress that just covered her butt, held up by thin strings. She was tall and thin and totally opposite to Layla.

Marianne raised an eye brow at her and Layla moves aside. Marianne walked in and both men turned to look. Marianne smirked at Layla before draping herself over Knox.

Who didn't push her off.

Luke looked at them with wide eyes before looking at me. "Layla I'll be staying over for tonight, I hope you are okay with that" Marianne said.

"Sure, you can wash the leftovers for Knox after he is done then, I'll leave him to you." Layla said with a blank look.

All three looked at her trying to understand her but Layla was good at this, hiding. It's all she ever did with her family. It had been a long while before she had to do something like this.

"Move in with me" Luke said and everyone's head snapped over to him as he finished and put his Plate by the sink.

"Luke you-" Layla was about to refuse but Luke interrupted her again. "It'll be a win-win. I get to eat good food and you get to live away from a whore"Luke said and Layla considered.

"Im not a whore" Marianne said with narrowed eyes. "Funny you thought that I was referring to you, I was talking about the man you have your breast pressed against." Luke said and Layla stifled back a laugh.

"No, Layla isn't going anywhere" Knox said and Layla started laughing. Genuinely laughing. She looked at Luke and grinned. "It's funny that you think you have any say in the decisions that I make. I guess what we have isn't even a relationship anymore" Layla said and Knox pushes Marianne off as he turned to her.

Knox was scared for the first time in a long time. He wasn't scared when he cheated nor when he got caught but today he was because he knew that Layla had started to get over him.
