Sold At Birth

chapter 6

We got to our room and Derek put our bags on the bed he walked passed me and out the room I didn't know this place or these people so I definitely wasn't going to try and find him.

I walked over to my clothes and found something for tonight to sleep in. I started looking around the room and saw that it had a window seat with blue and grey pillows on top, the walls were dark blue and grey and almost all of the furniture was to. I was to busy gazing around like a fool that I didn't hear derek come back in the room.

"Are you finished staring at the room or should I get dinner sent up to your room." Derek was now back to glaring at me he definitely didn't look concerned anymore.

"I'm coming down stairs" I started walking out the room before I realized I don't know where I am going I waited for derek to start walking but he was still glaring at me.

"Just remember dont do anything stupid. " Derek started walking ahead and I followed we soon got to a beautiful dinning room much bigger then mine and it held so many people no one was eatting yet they were all just sitting down talking to one another.

We sat down and I was in between derek and another man who was a little chubby, while we sat derek done all the talking not once did anyone try to ask me something but I didn't mind I wasn't ready to talk alot, I mean it's my birthday and I had to leave everything I have ever loved.

Dinner was served and it was beautiful I didn't know what it was called but I really enjoyed it, desert was served and i wasn't really in the mood for it, I don't think anyone would notice if I slip away everybody was still talking and even derek was talking to a beautiful women with long blonde hair, he hadn't even spoken to me since we sat down and i did feel a little jealous if I was ment to marry derek I don't want him to flirt with every other women.

I stood up slowly and I started to walk out the room I turned around and saw that no one even noticed I was leaving, it was a little hard trying to remember where our room was but I eventually found it, I changed in to my comfortable pajamas and went and sat near the window on the seat, the view was absolutely breath taking I could see a beautiful lake outside surrounded by flowers I would have to have a better look around tomorrow, if I am going to live here I need to know what is here.

I got my picture of me and my best friend amy out of my bag and went and sat back down at the window, just seeing the picture brought tears to my eyes, we did everything together we met in year 5 some boys were picking on us so we stuck up for each other and have been friends since.

I wonder what amy would say about this, I hope I see her again I can't imagine my life without her. I slowly drifted off to sleep hoping that when I wake up this would all be over.

Derek's point of view.

I have known about my father's intentions since I was 17, I have done my research on layla I never stalked her but I know a few things about her. I accepted to the marriage witb layla because as she has grown I have noticed she has turned in to a beautiful kind women and I would like to get to know her.

But she has been against marrying since she found out I know it happend only hours ago but, I thought she may have been a little excited she will be living in the most amazing city in the world and I will commit to layla completely. It did hurt a little but I know it is alot to take in I was the same if not worse at first.

I was eating desert and talking to my cousin when I noticed that layla was no longer here, I looked around the room and didn't see her. I sat up and kissed my mother and father good night before walking up to layla's room. As I opend the door all the light's were on and it was freezing, walking over to the windows I saw her asleep on the side seat attached to the window. She was holding a picture of herself and another girl I believe to be her friend.

I shut the window's and took the picture from her hands as I lifted her up, she cuddled up in to my chest I gently put her on the bed and climbed in next to her.

She may be angry when she wakes up but I will deal with that if I just get to hold her tonight.
