Chapter 27: Just Peachy

Finally a new chapter since forever and it's a long one!! Enjoy x.

Kayla's POV

The world must really hate me. Now, I have to spend time with freaking Veronica! Speaking of her, I remembered how she was alone now in MY room with Shane. I don't even want to touch my bed after god knows what she does. A frown that I couldn't help made its way to my face when I thought about Shane doing things with Veronica. I knew I was over-thinking...over-reacting to be exact but I couldn't control my thoughts.

I forced myself to stop my thoughts quickly before they got any nastier. But in the back of my head, I kept remembering the way Shane looked so hesitant when I said I was going to see Dylan. I remember how he looked like he didn't want to be alone with Veronica. Maybe, just maybe...nah I'm being the over-hopeful me.

Exactly, Kay. Do you think he actually minds being alone with Veronica? Do you think he'd rather you over her? Look at her and now let's look back at you. Let's be real here.

I took a deep breath as I got out of the elevator and headed towards the reception area, rolling my eyes at the voices in my head. Instead of harping on them, I thought about what Dylan might probably want to talk to me about.

"Hey there love." Dylan greeted me as I smiled back at him, making my final step so that I was leaning against the reception counter.

"So I heard that you wanted to talk to me?" I asked, tilting my head slightly to the side.

"Yes. But before we get to that, how's lover boy?" He asked with an innocent, angelic smile on his face.

I held my head in my hands as my fingers held on to my hair. How many times did I have to tell him!?

 I pouted with a frown before saying, "He's not! And for your kind information, he is perfectly comfortable with the girl you asked to call me." I ended off with a sweet smile but there was something else in my tone. Something poisonous about it that felt foreign to me.

"I would say someone is jealous but I think I treasure my life at this moment so...how was Baker Street for you?" He smiled warily as my glare that transformed into a victorious smile. I was thankful for the change in topic and jumped at it.

"It was amazing! I love Sherlock so so much and to just be there was surreal. Whenever I read the books, all I can do is imagine how his place looks like. But to actually be there, to touch and feel...that was something else!" I gushed as my hands grew animated on their own.

"Well, I'm glad you loved it." He chuckled at my enthusiasm. "So I was wondering, if you were free tonight?"

"Dylan..." I tutted playfully, "I know I'm obviously desirable-", I mocked as I flicked my hair over my shoulder, "- but you've got a girlfriend." I smiled cheekily.

He rolled his eyes at me but still had a grin on his face as he laughed.

"Let's do this again. I was wondering if you and your friends are free tonight?"

"Oh, and here I thought you wanted to have an affair with me." I exclaimed a little louder on purpose. I watched and chuckled as the other receptionist gave Dylan questioning and disapproving glances, while Dylan playfully narrowed his eyes at me.

"But to answer your question, yes I am free tonight and they would probably be free too. Why?"

"Have you ever heard of Epping Forest?"
