Laylas Pov
I sat in my room and thought about it for hours. I really do like Jonah. He has been proving himself lately. It's like he's the new and improved Jonah Marais. Being around him, tensions are still high but I'm starting to get butterflies again. He is starting to make me happy again.

Jonah's POV
Being around her is like being around your favorite celebrity, all you wanna do is look at them and admire how beautiful they actually are. What I love about Layla is how appreciative she is. She isn't expectant and she doesn't think she deserves things ,but she has no idea.

Third person POV
Layla was out at a Bath and Body Works buying candles and soap for the new house Logan just bought. Jonah thought it would be a great idea to leave yellow , her favorite color, rose petals down the hallway to her room and get all dressed up to apologize once again and ask her to be his girlfriend again. Jonah is hesitant at first due to the fact that he didn't believe her after what happened with Jack. What if he loses his temper again and he loses Layla for good? He's terrified at this point.

Layla's pov
"Logan, I got Mahogany Coconut and an Avocado candle for the living spaces." I almost slip on what looks like a yellow rose petal. I look up to see a continuation of yellow apetals leading all the way to my room. I set the candles on the hallway table as well as my purse and phone. "Logan ? Jonah?" I call out hoping one of them could explain this. I get to my door and see a full yellow rose sitting on the ground. I pick it up and smell it, falling in love with the scent all over again. I twist my doorknob and see Jonah sitting there smiling at me with a black suit on with a yellow bow tie. Holding the other 11 roses. "Jonah, wh- what's?" I cant comprehend a sentence and then it hits me. "Layla, I know that a couple flowers and me in a suit won't make up for the heartache I caused but I was hoping it could help." I stare at him because I don't know how to respond. "I know that this is a surprise and I know you don't know how to react but please say something." He ends with the beautiful chuckle I once fell in love with. "Jonah." I sigh. I look him in the eyes waiting for what he's gonna say next. "You might not want to react but I sure do." Jonah walks closer to me grabs my face and kisses me. I pull away after a couple seconds and try to think of a sentence. I look back up at him and kiss him with a smile.
"Thank you Layla."
"Everyone deserves a second chance Jonah."
