THE HYBRID: PRIME'S HEAT

THE HYBRID: PRIME'S HEAT- CHAPTER TWELVE

LAYLA’S P.O.V

I remember sleeping in the sitting room with the wolf and not in my room, definitely not on my bed too. Maybe granddad helped me up to my room. I woke up and stretched ,yawning, all of last nights events came running through my mind but of all things, Dart’s rejection was first and foremost in my head. I just had to forget him, that wasn’t going to be hard right! I sighed slowly getting my sleepy self to the shower. I‘ll do what I usually do everyday; drown myself in my work. I got dressed in no time and then walked downstairs, just as I got into the dinning Bart came into the house. I quickly plastered a smile on my face as I walked up to him.

‘Good morning gramps’ I say kissing him on the cheek, ‘how was your night out with the guys?’.

‘Great,’ he answered looking me up and down, ‘how are you this morning?’ .

I know what he was referring to, ‘am fine gramps, its gonna take more than just mom to sink my ship,’.

He grinned at me and pinched my cheeks. My grandfather was so caring and I loved him for that, I had to make breakfast soon if I wanted to go to work early today, ‘anyways thanks gramps’ I say as I grab some a jar of jam from the refrigerator.

‘What for honey?’ he asked looking surprised, he really did look convincing but c’mon this is my grandfather, he loved joking around. I knew he was messing with me, I shook my head at him smiling, ‘for coming back last night to check on me, it really was wise of you to take me upstairs to my room and you also made sure to let the wolf out. Thanks Gramps, you are the best,’ I say grinning.

Okay now my grandfather wasn’t laughing like he usually did when he got busted, instead he did look GENUINELY shocked. His mouth was hanging up and he had his eyebrow raised, ‘what are you talking about honey?’. He didn’t take me to bed did he? Then who did……

DART!!!!!.....that SOB came back here!! He lay his hand on me again….i was soo going to kill him. Anyway why did he come back its not like he cared about me, why among all the men on earth I have to fall in love with Dart Tegg.

‘Hello honey are you still here,’ granddad asked me snapping his fingers in front., I turned to him smiling my best sugar coated smile. Dart Tegg was soo dead!, ’uh uh I know that smile’ gramps said, ‘who is dying?’  I laughed at that, he just knew me too well.

‘Nobody’ I reply.

‘I know who it is but I don’t want to get into this fight, If you do need help in hiding the body am right here honey,’

'thanks gramps’ I answered smiling. 'gotta go gramps, you can bring Dax to work when you are coming’.

'uhhh about Dax, Dart is picking him up from Marcy’s, he is gonna be dropping him off at work later’.

So now he doesn’t just sneak into my house at night and take me up to bed, he now had my son too. 'Fine! Just fine gramps!’ I mutter under my breath as I headed back to my room to fix my makeup.

Another day with Dart wasn’t going to kill me right….RIGHT!!!

I got to work later than usual because gramps called me and told me to drop some paperwork for some guy. When I walked in, there wasn’t a single soul in the office complex. Where was every body? I walked to Dorcas desk, wasn’t there but there was a pamphlet on her desk. I picked it up and read: WORK FREE DAY! What! Well that was just weird, how come gramps didn’t tell me that? C’mon he was out all night, how was he supposed to remember that. Okay so now I was stuck here all day, alone! .Great! just great. I sighed am then made my way to my office; I had a lot of paperwork to attend to. I shrugged my coat off as I stepped into my office. It was so dark; I can’t remember putting the drapes down and also switching the lights off. I wasn’t surprised because i hardly remember anything this days, ever since Dart got back into my life I forget things a lot and also shower a lot. He really was leaving his mark in my life, I sighed. I hit the lights and I was bombarded with a round of “HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAYLA”, I screamed in fright but shut it when I noticed what was going on. Before I could speak I was hugged by almost everybody working for my granddad. Today was my birthday? Like seriously! Who forgets their birthday anyways?? Obviously I did!. I was kissed, pecked, hugged and congratulated by an awesome lot of people. At last I saw gramps coupled with Dax, they came up to me smiling.
