The talk

Dear diary,
When my alarm went off at 4am, I jumped up and looked around. What the heck, how did I get in bed!? The last thing I remember is falling asleep in Kason’s arms.
My phone dinged and I grabbed it, it’s from Kason.

Hey Layla will you meet me outside your house before school.
Yeah I’ll be out a 6.
? can’t wait.

I decided not to run this morning, so I jumped in the shower. When I got out I brushed my hair and blow dried it. I brushed my teeth and went to my closet.
I decided to wear a white sun dress with a black leather jacket and black boots.
After I was dressed, I ran downstairs to see dad standing in the kitchen.
“Good morning dad, can I ask you something?" I said while grabbing some eggs and bacon that dad made.
He sat down with his plate, “of course sweetheart.”
“So yesterday on our morning run La’Helah said that on my 18th birthday I get something but she wouldn’t tell me what. Do you know what she is talking about?” I asked.
“I knew I needed to tell you someday.” He sighed. “So you are partially a witch.” He quickly stated.
“Im what now” I said shocked.
“So, you’re mom was a very powerful witch, and obviously I am human but she gave up her magic to protect you. Then she started using drugs. After she died I promised I would keep you safe. But when you turn 18 you gain your other half and your powers.” He explained while holding my hand.
“Why am I just now hearing about this?"
“I wanted to wait until you were older.” Dad phone rang. “I’m so sorry, I have to go but I love you.”
"Love you.” I said and ran upstairs.
When I got to my room I look at the time, it was 5:15am. I texted Kason to come to my room, he said he is coming.
When he came in, I jumped into him strong arms and started crying.
He held me, “What happened?” “Are you ok?”
As I cried into his shoulder I explained, “My dad just told me that I am part witch.” “And that when I turn 18 I will find my other half and get my powers.” “That’s not even the worst part, he left me right after he told me.” “He has always been there for me but not now.”
"It’s ok I’ll always be here for you.” He pulled away and tilted my head to face him.
In that moment I look into his eyes and kissed him hard. He kissed me back.
I pulled away and covered my mouth, "Ummm, I’m so sorry. I don’t know why I did that.” I blushed.
He laughed “It is more than ok.”
I don’t even even know what to do, I am so embarrassed. I just met him, why is he so okay with this.
OMG. Could he be my … no he could not. Or could he? If he was does that mean he’s a witch?
“Wait, does that mean you’re a witch too?” I questioned but also felt a little crazy for assuming.
“Yes I am, but I’m not just any witch.” He said with a calming look in his eyes.
“What do you mean?”
“I’m a Anderson, one of the most powerful witch blood lines ever. I’m also your other half but you wouldn’t know that until after your birthday.” He said and hugged me again. “That’s why I was ok with the kiss, because I am drawn to you in ways that I don’t even fully get.”
“So I should not feel embarrassed.” I said trying to clarify my statement.
He looked at me and kissed me again, “does that answer your question?”
“Maybe.” I laughed and put my head on his chest.
I looked at my watch and it was 7:35. “We’re gonna be late for school.” I grabbed his hand so we could leave.
He pulled my back to look at him, “ I’ll go under one condition.”
“What’s that?”
“Go on a date with me.” He stated.
“Ok,” I said.
We kissed one last time and went downstairs, I grabbed my bag and we left.
