Lustful Revulsion (wlw)

Chapter 35- Nothing.

The next afternoon..

Rain is aggressively meeting the window, the wind blowing it harder as the sunsets, barely visible through the April air, which of course is different in England than anywhere else.

The pair are walked in on, Layla naked and Red in her underwear.

It's almost like Red senses it, and she flinches awake at the sight of Elle's agape expression, shock written all across her face. Red quickly sits up, rubbing her eyes to see if she's dreaming or if this is happening right now, but it is happening. Fuck fuck fuck.

Red shakes Layla beside her as she covers her up with the covers, "Layla." Red whispers.

Elle doesn't move, she remains frozen at the door, her eyes quickly flicking from Red to Layla.

Layla then springs awake, and Red says nothing but looks away from Elle, Layla's eyes follow and her heart drops. What the fuck is she doing here? Layla's heart pounds quickly as she heaves in fear of being exposed like this.

Red sees how speechless the pair are so she gets up, moving closer to Elle who's at the door, "Come." Red demands, grabbing a jumper and joggers on her way out before shutting the door and taking Elle with her.

Layla can't even begin to know where to start, not only has she just woken up but she's woken up to her best friend finding out she's naked in a bed with someone she classified as her enemy a few months ago. Layla doesn't understand how she manages to do it, but she gets up and shoves the first pair of clothes she can find before she determinedly paces towards her bedroom door, and throws it open to find neither of them there but instead sounds of movement coming from downstairs.

She breathes deeply, before quickly making her way down the stairs and to the kitchen, finding Elle sitting at their kitchen table and Red making coffee quietly, as Elle stares blankly at the brunette.

Layla slowly puts one foot in front of another until she's in the kitchen, Elle turns to her, a look of confusion across her features, Layla's eyebrows narrow in sadness at how Elle found out about this.

Red pours three coffees and as she turns to put them on the countertop, she sees Layla standing before her, without hesitation, she grabs her cup of coffee before walking towards Layla, "I'll leave youse to talk." Red whispers as she brushes past Layla and is heard leaving through the back door for a cigarette.

Layla really wouldn't have wanted Red to leave her to this alone but Layla realises she's gonna have to do this alone, and that Red is right to leave her figure this out with her best friend.

So, Layla grabs the coffees and walks over to sit beside Elle and it seems as though the second Layla sits down, Elle questions, "When I came to get you at Liam's gaff, you and Red were kissing outside weren't you?" Elle asks, almost as though she's finally connecting the dots, feeling like an idiot that she never saw it.

Layla slowly nods in response, "It was the first time we did, yeah." Layla honestly says, her heart rate decreasing, but this isn't so bad.

Elle just nods, pursing her lips before she brings the cup to her lips and drinks, "Not too bad of a coffee." Elle comments after she's sipped it.

"She's great at making coffee." Layla nervously smiles, the thought of Red immediately making her happy.

Elle squints her eyes before a smile overcomes her lips, "You love her?" Elle bluntly asks.

And that is the last thing Layla expected Elle to ask, she flushes red, her eyes breaking eye contact in fear of how Elle will respond, "Yeah." Layla mumbles.
