3 days.
It's been 3 whole days and Grey still hasn't spoke to me, I mean, I haven't tried to speak to him, but i would've thought he would try pester me or wind me up in some way, but he hasn't.
It's so strange, I know he's a man of few words, but really? Not saying a word to me in three days? Not even coming to wind me up, or even be rude. I haven't heard anything from him, not even an insult.
I don't know what I did, or what's even caused him to be like this, he's quiet, but never this quiet. It's weird.
Ever since Seth came over that day he hasn't said a word to me, I assume he knows me and Seth aren't anything, so I don't think that would be the issue, but what else could it be?
I haven't ever been with another guy, so it's not that, and I don't think I've actually done anything that could affect grey in any way possible.
So what is it?
I guess Greys pretty much permanently living here now too, his rooms been renovated and decorated just for him, so it's perfect, and all he's done is stay in there for the past 72 hours.
It's off without him, jace has been noticing his quietness lately, and is starting to worry about grey, because he barely ever isolated himself like this.
It's like a child being grumpy, and locking themself into a room, refusing to come out of their tantrum.
"Did I do something to him?" I mumble to my brother, whose also confused on the whole situation, it's not just me he hasn't spoke to, it's all of us.
Lanas also been staying at our house for the last few days, her and jace have been sleeping together so I guess it's normal for them to be together constantly.
I've heard too much with them though, I have to make sure my headphones are accessible at all times. And at full volume.
She's always telling him how much she loves him, and they're always kissing and touching each other, it's gross seeing it, but it does make me feel a little lonely, especially now greys backed off.
It's strange though, what are the odds of your bestfriend meeting your brother and dating him, let alone being apart of the mafia with him too, which I'm still kinda mad over, but I just hold grudges I guess.
"I don't know what it is Lou, he's doing it to all of us. The last time he done this was when his mother died. And he promised he would always talk to me if he needed, so it must be bad clearly if he's doing it again." He sighs, rubbing lanas back.
"Shit leyla, don't you have work?" Lana finally speaks, and yeah. Of course. I do have work and I'm running late. She barely ever works, it's unfair, I wish I could do that. I mean the cafes not a bad or hard job, but it's kinda boring, I mean you pretty much see the same people every day. Maybe occasionally you'll get the odd new person trying out a muffin or something, but it's unlikely.
"Yup!" I yelp, quickly running to the door and grabbing my shoes and phone, guess I'm gonna have to run. In the rain.
Great.
.
It takes me just under 5 minutes to do a 17 minute walk, because I was running. The poor people around me must've thought I was insane.
I'm a bit wet though. Just a little, totally.
That was a lie, I'm absolutely soaked, who knew rain could get you soaked in the space of five minuets.
I stumble through the back door, grabbing a cold glass of water and downing it within seconds, Zaks working his shift with me today, so atleast it's someone who actually likes me, maybe he just won't tell our boss.
"Hey Zak, sorry I'm late, it's been busy at home" I sigh, finally somewhat catching my breath as I tie my apron round my waist.
I should've worn something warmer.
"It's fine, just don't leave me at rush hour again, it's been mental trying to do all these orders alone" he chuckles, patting my head and signalling for me to go to the register while he makes the drinks.
"God knows why people are coming out in this weather, if I were them I'd be staying at home and in the warm, it's mental." He says.
I nod, agreeing and he laughs at how wet I am. Sopping wet even. I sigh, taking the till and doing my job, and he wasn't lying, it's definitely rush hour.
•
Finally. Closing time. Today felt like forever, it was like a mad rush, the entire shift, there was no calm spot, I was constantly on my feet.
I've finally dried off though, mostly, my hairs a bit frizzy but it's nothing I can't deal with at home, a nice warm shower will sort this.
Even Zak stayed late today, and he normally leaves around 5pm, then I leave at 8, but he stayed today since it was so busy.
Everyone else expect me and Zak has left now, we are the only two inside the shop.
"Hey leyla? Can I ask you something?" Zak says, and I nod, not expecting anything to random from him.
"Have you got a boyfriend?" He asks, and I gulp. I don't know. Seth's just seth, like a best friend I guess, but grey? I don't know what we are at the moment. He usually always picks me up, I never would've thought he would let me walk home alone at this time, but he's holding out.
I sigh, shaking my head. "No, I don't." And I see a slight smirk appear on his face, it reminded me of how fathers friends used to look at me as a child, the horrible, perverted way they would stare me down, a literal child.
It's different with Zak though, I know he probably thinks of me as nothing more than his work friend, I mean we never talk outside of work, and even in work we barely talk.
I'm probably just overthinking it.
Until well. He decides to speak again.
Sorry it's short again lovelies, I am working on longer ones I promise, but I'm also working on my new book,
Darkest desires
At the moment, and I'm actually loving it, it's dark, thrilling, and full of risks, and I'm sure you guys would love it too.
I won't be releasing it for a while, because I want to make sure it's got a good storyline and atleast 50 chapters before I publish it so you guys aren't waiting like this one, but I promise it's gonna be so good.
I'm also writing another book called
Aiden.
It's a book about love. How teen girl Riley meets her therapist. The man that's soon to be the love of her life, yet it takes a while for her to understand that.
This one will come out after darkest desires, since it'll also take a while to write it.
But there's already one chapter of darkest desires out! A little spoiler chapter!! Aswell as the character profiles<3
You should totally read it if you guys love me.
Comment on it if you come from this book!
Sorry for such a long note, but I love you all and you better have read this😔
Love Cora😙
