MINE

18- Abuse

But luckily the phone number wasn't saved.

"You didn't even have his number before this?"  He asked as he threw her phone back to her. She sighs.

"He is an old acquaintance that I judged very harshly before and I'm just trying to make things right." She said. Lewis nods. Layla had said the same thing to Luke, she couldn't think of a way to put it in any another way.

She smiles and decides to put on some music.

The songs start playing and Lewis laughs. They did this alot as kids. Lewis bowed and offered his hand to her with one hand behind his back.

After a deep curtsy Layla takes his hand and they start dancing along the beats. Both of them loose themselves in the music as she sways her body and he matches her movements with his own.

They dance for a while, he grabs layals hand and twirls her before dipping her back and bringing her back up.

Anyone who didn't know any better would assume that they were a couple.

They lay down on the floor after an hour of dancing. "Lewis" Laylas calls him and he hums in acknowledgement with his eyes closed. "Two of my friends are getting married so there is a rehearsal dinner and then the wedding. Will you be my plus one?" She asked and he nods.

But sits up and looks at her, "Are you sure you don't want Knox or Luke or even the mystery man?" He asked and she shakes her head.

"I want to mess with them, let's prepare a dance and just like the usual prank" she said and he grins. "Im in" he said.

"For what?" Knox asked as he stepped inside. It was almost 9pm. "Just sibling thing" she said qs she got up.

"Im not cooking tonight, please someone cook or order from outside." Lewis said and Layla agrees. Knox looked at Layla who looked exactly how she was before she developed feeling for. Knox shakes his head to throw that thought out of his head.

"Let me cook" Knox said and Layla looks surprises. It had been a while since he cooked. He used to cook everyday for Layla before but things changed.

Knox freshens up and starts the dinner.

Layla and Lewis work on a choreography after deciding a song and dance while Knox cooks.

Knox had a clear view of Layla from where he worked. He was so busy looking at her he cut his finger, he frowns and licks the blood off. He puts on a band aid on and tries to work on the dinner without looking at her.

It didn't work as he still sneaked glances once in a while. Her moves were hypnotic. He watched her body and wondered how Lewis is able to focus and then chuckled.

He called them over and she walks slowly to the table wiping off the excess sweat.

Layla took in the scent and looked at the dish, lasagna. She loved it. She puts some on her plate and blows on it and tastes it. "So good" she said as she carefully dug into the hot food.

Knox grins.

Lewis and Knox sit down and eat with small talk. After finishing her food Layla walks into the empty guest room and doses off after setting up the alarm.

She wakes up and finds an arm around her she pulls away with a frown, why doesn't he understand that I need space? Layla sighed as she freshens up and pulls on a pair of jeans and an oversized tshirt. She put on her sneakers and walked out to the table.

She made herself some pancakes with nutella.

She called up Brian, "hey, I'm ready just let me know when you are" she said as she checked the time, it was 9 in the morning already.
