           LAILA'S POV

   
Anyone out there who ever fell in love? What's love life like? What is there to love about love? How do you even know if you love someone? After seeing my boyfriend for almost three weeks ago, I ran and jumped on him, happy that he finally came back home.

He didn't call to say he was on his way at my place, so when he arrived, it caught me by surprise. My sister just made faces at him and after receiving scolds from me and mum she left to her bedroom.

" I missed you a lot Don, tell me about your vacation", I said while we sat at the couch.

Our house was not so big. It was tiny but it was where I grew up and I loved it. It held so many memories, both good and bad but it still remained to be my home, unlike Don who came from a sophisticated family but he still loved me anyway.

Or not....

After narrating all the fun he had with his family, my mum suggested we stay in and watch a movie together, we decided to leave for the mall to do some shopping. Well I decided.

"I really missed you so much Lay. I felt so empty without you by my side", he said and all I could do is smile at his words. They were mere words to him, but they held so much weight. He loved me so much to think of me even when he was away?

He had asked me to go with him but I turned down his offer. I wasn't ready to meet his parents yet and still I had some papers I had to take to the university that time.

A part of me was excited when he said he'd be joining me at my school and another part didn't want. I wanted to have him around, to have someone familiar around the school but my other part of me was afraid. I didn't know why, but I was afraid.

I shoved in a sweatpants, a t shirt and a pair of sandal while he wore a denim short accompanied with a red t shirt that tightened him around his torso . It revealed his muscles but not compared to those of Hellzel. Hellzel was a much bigger figure compared to my boyfriend, but Don made the best boyfriend. Ever. And I loved him.

" my girl..", he said smiling as he opened the passenger's door for me. He slide in the car and took my hand into his before he started the ignition. I missed his hand. Everything.

He drove to the mall and when we alighted he walked holding my hand. I felt happy, like it was a long time since I held him. I tightened the grip and he looked at me smiling. His simple smile made my heart race a hundred kilometres and back without stopping.

Some girls smiled at him and when he smiled back, it pained my heart. I was never a jealous girlfriend for the six months we had dated before, but when I saw him smile at them, I felt like plucking their hair one by one.

What was wrong with me with all the sudden urge of fighting?

"I have a surprise for you love", he said and I smiled. What surprise? He loved surprises. I remembered the time he took me to the Safari Park hotel at the Safari dining, the place with the most beautiful distinct themed decor. He brought a big cake on our table and knelt down before me and asked me to be his girlfriend. The best moment in my life happened that day.

The necklace he gave me, reminded me of him whenever he wasn't with me.

We met with a group of five men by the entrance,Hellzel following from behind carrying a white shopping bag. He smiled when our eyes met but I quickly looked away. How dare he?

He left his friends and walked towards us. I pulled Don so we could hurry up inside but he only raised his eyebrows at me.

The devil must be celebrating.

"How's my baby girl today? You look so hot in your sweatpants", he gave out a deep while stretching his hand toward my boyfriend smirking.

" if only you wore like this everyday, I would gladly become your favourite dog following you each and everyday", he smiled again only pissing me further.

"Am sure your brother can agree with me, right bro?", he said raking his hand in his dreads.

Whatever joke he was making wasn't funny. My boyfriend gripped my wrist so had like he'd easily break it.

He could piss me off about my clothes for all I care but talking to me like that, and saying my boyfriend was my brother, in his eyes, wasn't a welcomed knocked. I knew so well how my boyfriend reacted in such situation and I didn't want him to get angry. He couldn't get angry, not that time.

I wanted to slap Hellzel's smile off his face, shush him until he wouldn't ever look at me again but my boyfriend did the unexpected.

He pushed me so hard to Hellzel that I hit his chest like a brick wall. He dropped the shopping bag he  had in his hand and held me up before I fell to the ground. I stared at his lilac blue eyes, and for a moment, they drowned me in. I could feel his hard body against me when I ran my hands through his chest covered only by a thin layer of shirt. I felt my knees weaken but he held me up.

When Don spoke, we turned quickly at him, his chest rose and fell rapidly and veins became more visible on his forehead.

"How dare you flirt with my girl in my presence? Who is this Lay? What is he to you? Do you...", Hellzel raised a red flag smiling as if enjoying the scene.

His hand clenched into fist and before he connected if to Hellzel's jaw, he gripped it with his hand and squeezed him so hard. They stared into each other before I pushed Hellzel away from my boyfriend.

" calm down dude. I was talking to my girlfriend," pointing at Rymana who stood behind Don, wearing a pink sweatpants, smiling. Don turned behind him and a smile married his face as he locked his eyes with her.

"Hello sweet face", Rymana smiled at him biting her lower lip that mine pained.

" I love your mahwak baby", she raked her fingers in his hair smirking. How could Hellzel stand to see all that? His girlfriend flirting with my boyfriend, in my presence. It was too much I couldn't stand it.

Was Hellzel and Rymana dating?

It was not my business to care. I wanted to leave right away and never see Don again. He turned to me, apologetically, but I walked away and left Rymana and Hellzel's friends laughing loudly.

Stupid spectators.
