Mistress

Chapter 2

Layla POV

'ever since that night Kevin has been calling me or over my condo every night. it's a wonderful feeling having him around. holding me, talking to me. just being there. but of course he still has to go home to his wife. i mean i don't know why he's with her. yeah she's pretty, i'll give her that, but she must be doing something wrong if he's continuing things with me you know ? when i'm out and about guys come and hit on me. trying to be with me. just me, but what do i do ? im turn them down. i turn them down cause i love Kevin so much ! i wanna be with someone that just wants to be with me, but who would really want me while i'm pregnant with another dudes baby ? i feel like i f.cked my life up. my mama and dad would be so disappointed in me if there were alive right now. i know im disappointed in myself. messing with a married man. adultery. but then again the funny thing is that i don't care that i'm messing with him. is that wrong ? yeah, maybe so. do i regret being with Kevin ? no. i do wish that i would've left him when he said he was married, but i made my bed and now i have to lay in it. there was a knock at my door and i opened it. im face to face with Kevin. he pecks me on my lips and lets himself in. i close the door and go sit on the couch.'

Kevin: what's wrong Layla ?

Layla: just thinking that's all.

Kevin: about ?

Layla: if i should leave you and get my life together.

'in a swift movement his hand was around my throat. this is the first time he's actually put his hands on me. he has a dangerous look in his eye and i don't like it. i try to move his hand, but his grip gets tighter.'

Kevin: YOU ARE NOT ! I REPEAT ARE NOT GONNA LEAVE ME ! YOU UNDERSTAND !?

'i nod my head yes and he lets go. i grab my neck and gasped for air. did this dude forget i was pregnant with his child ? he must forreal be crazy ! he tells me to go get dressed and hurry up. i do as he says and go get dressed. after i dressed myself and covered the bruises on my neck i walked downstairs to see Kevin waiting by the door. we walked out and i locked my door. he took me shopping, but i wasn't really caring what was going on. i had to pee so i told him i was going to the bathroom, he nodded his head and told me he was gonna be in the jewelry section. i used the bathroom and when i walked out i bumped into a hard chest. i looked up and saw a gorgeous man in front of me. he caught me before i fell and smiled at me. i blushed and steadied myself. not caring that he was still holding me.'

Guy: im Jordan.

Layla: im Layla. nice to meet you.

Jordan: could i maybe get your number and we could hang out sometimes. get to know each other ?

'all thoughts of Kevin left my mind and i nodded my head handing my phone to him. he gave me his and it was a done deal. i walked to where Kevin was to see him looking at a necklace.'

Layla: you don't have to buy me jewelry.

Kevin: i'm not. this is for Lauren (his wife)

'i nodded my head and looked away. i saw Jordan walking my way and my eyes locked with his. man he is so fine ! it's ridiculous really. he now reached me with a smile on his face. i smiled back.'

Jordan: i hope to see you again Layla ?

'i nodded smiling and blushing and he walked off. i heard somebody clear their throat and remembered i was here with Kevin. i turned around to face him and he looked furious.'

Kevin: who in the f.ck was that ?

Layla: a friend.

Kevin: i don't want you hanging out with him. talking to him or around him.

'i shrugged my shoulders. we paid for everything and left. i don't care what Kevin says. if i want to see Jordan i will take my happy ass to go see Jordan. maybe he's the start of me getting my life together. Kevin dropped me off at home with no type of good-bye. like i care. when i got in the house i dropped all my stuff and then i feel to my knees. i felt a sharp pain in my stomach and screamed out. i looked down and saw blood trickling down. that's the last thing i saw before i blacked out.'
