Mistress

Chapter 13

Layla POV

'the car ride with Jordan was a little awkward. we didn't talk about anything. did even say two words. if i said something his response was short. but in the end it was all worth it when he drove us to his house and led me to the backyard. he had it set up so beautifully. a table in the middle of the yard, with two chairs across from each other. had some slow old school music playing, with little dim lights and flowers petals on the ground and table. he COOKED steak, shrimp and potatoes. baby hooked it up. after we got done eating we slow danced to " End Of The Road " it was romantic and i like how he set it up by himself instead of bringing me to a high class restaurant.'

Layla: i broke things off with Kevin.

Jordan: that's good. you gonna let me take care of you ?

Layla: i don't need you to take care of me. i want you to show me you care. even in the slightest.

Jordan: so you're willing to be my woman ?

Layla: no. i still love Kevin some and i don't wanna go and jump into another relationship with me still feeling like that towards another man. i want us to work out when we do decide to get into a relationship.

'he nodded his head and we just swayed to the music. this has been one of the best night i have ever had.'

***************************

*next day*

'i woke up refreshed din my own bed and when to get ready for the day. i got ready to go to the gym. gotta stay fit and headed out the door. when i got to the gym there was nothing but people working out. some lazily and some to hard. i shook my head and made my way over to the treadmill. when i got on the girl next to me gave me a stank look and got off. girl boo ! i don't care. don't even know yo ass. i continued with my work out and made my way out the gym. when i was walking to my car i saw the same girl standing there looking at me.'

Layla: damn boo ! what you looking at ?

'i hopped in my car and made my way home. when i got home i went and took a nice shower and dressed in some sweats and a shirt. when i was making my way into the kitchen i heard a knock on my door. i went and opened it and it was the same girl from the gym that was giving me stank looks. did she follow me ?'

Layla: uh and who are you and why did you follow me to my house ?

Girl: im Lauren sister Missy.

Layla: okay. wasn't you just giving me stank looks and now you're at my house ?

Missy: im sorry, i just know what you did with Kevin

Layla: yeah, your sister was woman enough to get over it so i expect the same from you. so why you here ?

Missy: Kevin is gone.

Layla: okay and ? what you want me to do ? he'll be back. he always comes back.

Missy: no he been gone ever since you came to the house yesterday. that's the longest he been gone without calling.

Layla: well, i don't know what to tell you. i aint with him no more so i don't care. i moved on. he'll come back, just give him some time i guess.

Missy: alright thanks

Layla: mhm.

'i closed my door and went to sit on the couch. i can't believe she came to my house asking did i know where Kevin was. but now i do wanna know if he's safe..... maybe i should just call him ?'
