Layla.When I awoke in the morning, I was back in my bedroom, dressed and cleaned. I rubbed my heavy eyes open and squinted against the bright sunlight filtering in through the windows. I tried moving around but immediately stopped when I felt the dull throbbing coming from between my thighs. My entire body was sore and pleasantly so. Last night's memories washed over me and when I looked at my body, I could still see the visible marks it left behind. I couldn't such a thing had happened under my parents watch but I'll be damned if I said I hated any of it.Gingerly, I took a step out of the bed and trudged to the bathroom to have my bath. The house was quiet so it probably meant no one was around and I liked it that way. I don't think I would be able to look at my parents square in the face after what I did last night. I sluggishly brushed my teeth, had a quick shower and a change of clothes as well. Drying out most of my wet hair, I let the rest fall over my shoulders as I made my
Layla."Oh my God, that's amazing!" My mom squealed, clapping her hands excitedly. I just kept glaring at Dante, my heart pounding in my chest. What's amazing about his announcement. "Congratulations! When did this happen?"Dante cast me an uneasy look before turning his gaze back to my parents who were beaming at him. "Early this week. I was pretty stoked when I found out about it too.""I'm so glad to hear that son. It must be incredible news." My Dad added, his voice filled with excitement. Dante chuckled nervously, glancing down at his plate before looking at me. I hadn't blinked yet, still frozen on my seat as I tried to make sense of everything that was coming out from his lips."When will you be leaving then?" My mom asked and I felt my stomach twist into knots and I wanted to throw up. Dante tore his gaze away from me as he made to answer."A few days rom now. I'm expected to resume next month." He replied and I gasped, my stomach strangling itself. It couldn't believe it, he
Dante.For the next few days leading to my departure, neither of us spoke with each other. Layla's parents were surprised with this new behavior she put around me but there was little they could do rather than stand at a corner and watch us avoid each other like the plague. It was probably even weirder since we used to be really close in the past and I wouldn't lie, it hurt when she started to avoid me but there was barely anything I could do.I awkwardly explained to her parents that the reason why she was so mad was because I was leaving. Just like when we were younger and I left for college. They believed me. Really, what choice did they have? She was a mess back then too. Always crying and begging me to stay. It was normal for them to assume they now. Only the two of us knew the real truth and it hurt like a stab to the heart.So many times I'd try to talk to her but she would just straight up ignore me, pretending to be focusing on something else. But then, I also knew she cried
Layla.Dante's words to me broke me more than I could ever realize and I didn't even know when tears began to pour out of my eyes. The truth is, the past few days have been particularly hard for me but hearing him say those words caused the floodgates to break down and before I knew it, I was sobbing. I couldn't hide it anymore, I needed to tell him what I really felt. Keeping it in would just be the death of me. I sprang to my feet, running after him before he even entered into the house and flung myself at him, wrapping my hands around his neck.He turned around and caught me just in time, turning me to face him as he kissed me on my lips. Hunger and craving marked my kiss, as my lips devoured his. My arms encircled his neck, pulling my body flush against his, and I delved into his mouth with a desperate passion.Dante groaned but gave in anyway. My anger evaporated, desire almost suffocating me. His arms wrapped around my waist, and he assumed control of the kiss, sucking on my lip
Layla.(Few days later)Today is the day Dante would be leaving our small town to go to the city. I won't be there to witness it because early this morning, I had woken up and gone out of for a run. Now, I'm staring at the peaceful lake, the sun is rising from the horizon and the chilly morning air has seeped into my clothes but I can barely notice it because tears won't stop leaving my eyes. I still can't believe Dante is going soon and I may never see him again. I'm still trying so hard to wrap my head around it.Cleaning my tears for the umpteenth time this morning, I keep staring at the serene lake, hoping to ease my heart ache. My plan is to go back home long after Dante has gone so it seems like he didn't even come in the first place and I can live a normal life. It basically means I won't be leaving here till early afternoon because that's when his flight is. After idly watching the ducks swim on the lake, unbothered by what's going on around them. I hear my phone ring in my po
Layla.After Dante left to the city, I spent the next few weeks mopping around and missing him terribly. Everything in the house reminded me of him and it was not in a good way either. I still had his scent in my room, on my pillow and sheets and I was too scared to wash it off. Wherever I went, images of being around would flash in my mind, breaking my heart all over again. It also didn't help that Dante occasionally checked up on me, sending me messages that I was still afraid to respond. Everything was just bleary and depressing that I had to think of a way out or I could feel myself go crazy. I started to research for my universities once again, this time around, narrowing my search to all the of the universities present in Dante's city. I found a couple that interested me, wrote their names and other basic information about them as well. That night, after dinner, I presented the list to my parent's who pored over it, furrowing their brows as they did so."These are the universi
Layla.Felix's lips enveloped mine and a soft moan escaped my lips, my hands going around his neck as I drew him closer to me. His tongue delved into my mouth, tasting and exploring while his fingers caressed my smooth skin, gripping and releasing them. He pulled away once to catch his breath and I got rid of my shirt and bra, my nipples already hard and begging to be fondled."See? Alluring." Felix groaned as he smashed his lips on mine with a bit more ferocity. I shivered when I felt his hand grab my right breast and he began to squeeze and fondle it, causing a rush of sensation that had moaning and wetness gathering between my thighs. Felix continued to plunder me with kisses while his hands groped my breasts and teased my nipples, causing me to moan and squirm, my mind growing hazy.Eventually he had enough of kissing me and continued to trail kisses down my face to the shoulders, licking and sucking on the sensitive skin and I arched my back, every touch from him meant to arouse
Layla.We immediately settled to sleep afterwards and when we woke up, it was pretty late in the morning. Felix went back to his room and I showered and got dressed. I wanted to check out the campuses of my dream universities first before going to see Dante later on. I hadn't told him about out visit because I wanted to surprise him. I just hope he takes it well.After having a quick breakfast, Felix and I went out of the hotel. We boarded a taxi that took us straight to the first colleges campus while enjoying a bit of sightseeing we were being offered. Once we go there, I toured the environment and buildings, taking pictures as well."Wow... This isn't bad at all. I quite like it." Felix said as he walked with me. I looked at him, nodding as well."Well, it's too early to tell. I still have two more colleges to tour." I said and he nodded. Once I was satisfied with that, I went on a tour to other colleges as well. Just like all the things you've been looking for as always in the las
