Chapter 94Layla’s POV“I am so happy to see you my dear Layla.”“Me too, ma’am, I have missed you so much, you were like a mother to me,” I said in much excitement.“Awww, you sure know how to make me blush Layla, I wished I had a daughter like you.” She added.“Thanks, ma’am.”“I didn’t know you were in town, let’s not just stand here all through, why not come with me, let’s have chicken and chips together, I missed the time we normally have that.” She said with a big smile on her face.“Sure, now you mentioned it, Mrs Daniel, I think I am craving for it already .” There is no way I can say no to her, even if I am not on good terms with her son. Also, Nate’s mom was like a mother to me, sometimes I wished my mom never abandoned me and my dad, maybe my dad might still be alive, but I should not be thinking of that now.I entered her car and we drove to a restaurant nearby and we ordered chicken and chips with drinks.Whenever we are together, we always love to order chicken, “This is
Chapter 95Layla’s POV“Do you really love him like you love me, Layla, tell me the truth and I won’t judge.” He said in a flirty tone and I couldn’t see myself having the right answer, what does this mean?“Look into my eyes Layla and tell me the truth.” He drew me closer trying to kiss me and his mom's voice broke in, “You both look cute together.” I stood up immediately trying to explain but Nate’s mom didn’t even give me time to say anything, she gave us thumbs up and walked away.“Your mom is getting the wrong picture.”“No she is not, she is seeing two souls in love in here, it’s obvious you want me.”“Nate!”“You yet to give me an answer.”“I have nothing to say to you.”“So you love me?”“Nate, I am leaving.”“I see you don’t want to tell me but we both know the truth deep down and it is rooted in our hearts that you love me and I have never stopped loving you, I don’t care if you are sleeping with him, all that matters for me now is the present and our future.”“Good bye Nate
Chapter 96Layla’s POVI got ready to leave for Canada but I had to meet up with Amanda at the hotel restaurant since my flight was around 12:30.“Did you get enough sleep last night?” Amanda questioned looking at my face.“Yes, I slept so well.” I lied to her.“You are lying, look at your eyes. You look like someone who didn’t sleep a bit last night, you can’t return to Andrew this way.” She said.“You are right, I just couldn’t sleep, I feel like a bitch right now.” Tears left my eyes.“Don’t tell me it’s Nate again?”“You are always right Amanda, I saw Nate’s mom yesterday and went to the hospital to visit Nate’s father.”“Is his father sick?”I nodded and took my time to explain everything to her and she emptied the bottle of water she was drinking.“Wow this is tough, I really don’t know what to say right now, I am confused, you got a complicated love story, stuck with two men.”“No, I am not stuck, I already made a choice and I am going for Andrew, my son loves him.”“What? you
Chapter 97Nate’s POVI woke up the next morning and I realised I slept at the hospital and a blanket was used to cover me, I guess I made Mom worried again.“Care for some hot tea?” Mom said to me coming in with a cup of tea.“Good morning Mom.”“Good morning son, this is for you, just how you like it.” My mom said passing the hot chocolate tea to me.“Thank you, mom.” I sat down properly.“Nate, remember I am here for you, if you want to talk about it, I am always here, just know that.”“Thank you mom, I will keep that in mind.”After drinking the tea, I talked with my father, “Hey Dad, how are you doing this morning? I will be leaving now to get ready for work. I haven’t lost Layla yet, I will win her heart big because if I lose her dad, I might end up dying.” I said remembering the words she said to me when she left yesterday.I tried her number again, same thing, but it was turned off, I don’t even know the hotel she is in right now and it’s too late to start looking for it as
Chapter 98Layla’s POV“Are you seeing someone else?” He asked looking so sad, damn it, what do I do.“What do you mean by that Andrew? Are you calling me a cheat now? Just because I told you I am not in the mood for sex?” I yelled at him.“I am sorry Layla, I know I might be feeling insecure but I just felt something is wrong.”“There is nothing wrong, you are just assuming things I can’t do to you, I care for you is that not enough, you making me so angry right now, I need some air.”“Layla, I said I am sorry, I am not above mistakes and I also have feelings, blood flows through my veins so don’t be upset, it will sadden my heart, please.” He begged me, and held my hands in the process and I hate the fact he is just too sweet and kind, why can’t he be angry at me and yell at me? Even if I am the one at fault he never gets angry, he still says sorry, I am sick of all this.“Let go of me, I hate you for being so perfect.” I didn’t know when I said these words to him, “I will be sleepi
Chapter 99Nate’s POVI finished telling Andrew what I planned to do and he screamed, “What? Are you insane? Like have you lost your mind already?”“I guess I have,” I replied with a smile.“You are crazy, I must say.” He said with all seriousness and I took my seat thinking about it.“I admit what I am doing is crazy but I love Layla, I need to fight for love.”“And you think is the best way to fight for love? Well, I wish you luck, I know I always tell you the truth but at the same time, I can never let you be sad, I know for years now you got eyes for just Layla and it will be difficult to let her go but I got just one question for you.”“Bring it on, I will answer as long the question is something I can respond to.”“If the trip to Paris fails and she goes back to Andrew, will you give up on Layla and face a new life without her?”I stood up and took a walk thinking about the whole thing, there was no way I could imagine a life without Layla, if I failed, I would die single, and
Chapter 100Nate’s POVI returned to my room and turned on the TV but I was more focused on my phone, I got a different number just because of Layla since she blocked my main line.“Hi Layla, I am sorry for everything, can we start afresh as friends, I promise I will not ruin things.” I waited for her response but she didn’t even reply to the message, she read it and went offline.I guess I have so much to do but I feel so tired right now, I need to get some rest and about to do that I saw Chloe call,why is she calling now? I can’t speak to her on the phone, it’s best I ignore her because no one can tell what she is up to, I need to learn from the mistakes from the beginning, those mistakes made me lose Layla and now I am trying to get her into my life again, I can’t afford to make another.I slept off immedatly and dreamt about Layla and I living happily together.*The following morning, I got ready for day one steps in getting Layla into my life again, I stepped out to eat breakfas
Chapter 101Layla’s POVI woke up the next morning and found out I was being cuddled by Nate, oh no, what have I done? Why am I naked in Nate’s room?He was very much at sleep and I sneaked out of his room and rushed to mine. I turned off the flight mood immediately and booked my flight to Canada. I need to leave, I can’t take the risk to see Nate again.My phone rang immediately and it was from Andrew, oh sweet Lord, what have I done, I cheated on Andrew.“Hi Andrew,” I said acting all strange.“Layla, are you fine? I have been trying to reach you all night, did something bad happen to you last night?” He asked being so worried.“I am fine, nothing bad happened, I just took a few strolls and my battery died as well, I just powered it up this morning,” I said and tears left my eyes for lying to a perfect loving man.“Okay, it’s good to know you are okay, I will be going to work and I missed you like crazy.”“Same here.”“Got to go.” He ended the call.I rushed out of the hotel and he
