Chapter Seventy-Three

Layla POV

I was hoping to get here before Nathan; he hasn't taken my eyes off me. Zach snorts as he says,

“Is that him?” I nod.

“Yes”

“He's smaller than I thought he would be.”

I laugh, shaking my head as I go to open the door and say,

“Everyone is smaller than you, Zach.”

Zach reached across my seat, putting his hand on mine,

“Stay where you are, Layla; it's time to get this show on the road.”

Then he climbs out of the car, nods to Jackson, and opens my door for me; when I climb out of the vehicle, he kisses me on my forehead before saying,

“I will get the girls out, sweetheart, if you want to say hello to your mother.”

I chuckle before whispering,

“Omg, your crazy; please don't overdo it, Zach.”

He winks and slaps me on my ass before opening the backdoor to get Ellie out. I can feel Nathan's anger reaching me from where I am standing; I take Ellie off Zach so he can get Beth and motion for him to follow me to the porch. Nathan smiles, saying,

“It's good to see you, Layla.”
