A Mixed Love

Chapter 5

Layla POV*

I grabbed my bag and got out the car. Today is the start of a brand new week at work. Today is also the day the designs for the fashion show are due. I walked inside and seen Angie at the front desk.

"Good morning Angie"

"Good morning Layla, Ms.Barbara will be in your office soon. She wants to go over the designs with you"

"Okay"

I walked to the elevator and pressed the arrow pointing up. Once it opened I walked inside and pressed "16".

As I was walking to my office I smiled at everyone I passed by. No one has talked to me yet, but I don't mind. I like keeping to myself anyways. I walked inside my office and settled down in my chair. I signed into my computer then grabbed my iPad with all my designs in it. I connected the iPad to my computer and started looking at my designs more.

I looked over and seen Ms.Barbara start walking to my office. She knocked on the door then walked in.

"Good morning", she said

"Good morning Ms.Barbara"

"Today's the day. Design day, my favorite days. Let's see what you got"

I turned my computer so she can see. She sat down in the chair in front of my desk and started staring at the designs. She grabbed the mouse and started scrolling.

"Hmm. I see you're really persistent on splits in dresses"

"Yes, I love showing off legs", I said chuckling. "It's kind of a backstory for me"

"What's the backstory?", she said looking at me

"When I was younger I used to get bullied for having long legs. I used to get called chicken legs. So, I never wore shorts or dresses when I was younger. I only wore jeans and sweats to cover my legs. Now, I'm taking the criticism and showing it off. I love my skinny legs now", I said smiling

She smiled. "That's beautiful Layla. I will definitely take your designs into consideration. For now, continue thinking of designs for the future"

She stood up and pushed the chair in. "Results of who's designs made the fashion show will be announced in a meeting on Wednesday morning"

"Okay, can't wait"

She walked out my office and closed the door behind her. I sat back and thought of more designs.

Later on that Night✨

Lamonte POV*

I pulled up to Ray Ray's trap house to work with the dude on killing someone who is innocent. I got out the car and walked inside the house. The dude was sitting on the couch.

"Wassup", he said

I nodded my head and sat down.

"You not speaking now?"

"Look man, I don't even want to be here, so let's hurry this up"

"I can kill you right now if you don't want to be here", he said lifting up his shirt flashing his gun

I looked down at the gun then back at him. I sighed then said, "What's the plan"

"The guy who owes Ray Ray money name is Darnell. His little brother is the target, his name is Dante. He has a football game coming up in two weeks, that's when we make our move"

"We're going to kill him in broad daylight?"

"You are...yes"

"I'm not doing that bro. I could get caught doing that"
