His lips spread into a smile. It's Layla. " Who's it? " Alec's voice came out and he glanced at him. " She's calling again " He muttered, confusing Alec the more.

" Who's it? " He asked with his brows slightly raised. Shane realized he hadn't been speaking actual words. " Oh " He muttered. " It's Layla " He added and Alec muttered an * oh *.

" Hey " Shane said over the phone. " Um.. hi " Layla's voice came in a whisper. It sounded like she was being forced to talk and Shane couldn't help but ask if she was okay.

" Is everything okay? " Shane asked and he pictured her nodding as she didn't reply for some seconds.

" Yeah I'm fine " She mumbled. " So?... You called?... " Shane started as he took a glance at Alec who seemed very much interested in their conversation as he listened intently.

" Yeah, I.. made a mistake... It was unintentional, sorry if that disturbed you " She lied. " No you didn't. It's fine " He said quickly. " Oh, okay then. Bye " She muttered and he nodded. "
