Damon's POVWe got back home a few days ago, and I felt like throwing myself on the bed and sleep for the whole week, but I couldn't because my job awaited. I had been occupied with a lot of work ever since I came back, to pay for the days I had gone on the little 'vacation'.The sound of my door opening cause me to focus on it rather than the ton of paperwork I still had to go through.“Sir, Ms Crane is here to see you”, Carla stood firmly at my office doorWhat was she doing here?“Let her in”, I told her and Carla nodded her head at my request and minutes later the sound of high heels echoed towards my office. I was not very thrilled to see Ms Crane anytime soon. We ended things a few months ago, and she seemed to understand why we couldn't continue with our arrangement. I don't know why she's here.“Damon”, she said curtly as walked she closed the door behind her and walked towards me“Ms Crane”, I watched as she took a seat in front of me, titling my head to the side a little whe
Layla's POVThere were a lot of funny feelings going through my whole body all at once when Damon connected his lips with mine, making me feel things I've never felt before, but I think it had every thing to do with how he was kissing me, gently and yet very sweet. His lips were warm, minty and soft, adding just the right amount of pressure. I felt my body starting to relax a little, butterflies exploding at the pit of my stomach and I lost consciousness for a few seconds, getting lost in the moment.His hand slid across my waist, wrapping tightly around me to pick me up and placed me on top of the counter whilst not leaving my lips, just long enough until I could inhale his breath. He slipped his tounge into my mouth, exploring with urgency and I let out a soft moan, wrapping my arms around his neck to pull him closer while digging my fingers in his hair.He groaned softly, from the back of his throat and I felt his hands travel down my body to grip lightly on my thighs before caress
Layla's POVI decided to take Troy up on his offer and call him to meet up for coffee. I stayed so long cooped up in that house I felt like the walls were driving me crazy. We were meeting up at a café that makes the most exquisite coffee downtown, Mary introduced me to this place.I ordered a latte for my morning wake-up cup as nothing jump starts my day more than coffee. I took a small sip to savor each moment the liquid danced to the back of my throat heavenly, and I closed my eyes to enjoy every second.“Still a coffee lover I see”, he jumped from behind me, and I laughed while standing on my feet to hug him“It's good to see you Lay”, he tightened his arms around me a little before we broke away from the hug and slipped into the booth opposite me“It's good to see you too”, I returned the bright smile on his face because it was honestly hard not to. “You're early, I was only expecting to see you in thirty minutes”“I didn't think I was going to find you here already, so I was wil
Layla's POV“Layla, do you know where Mary is?”, Damon asked as he was going around the house looking for something“No, have you tried checking under the table?”, I pushed my reading glasses while looking up at him, and he heaved an exaggerated sigh, causing me to laughed to myself“Does everything have to be a joke to you?”“It doesn't have to, with you around”, I took a spoonful of my delicious fruit and cream salad. “I have my hands full already”“Layla I'm serious”, he heaved yet sigh, before seeming to give up his search after turning the lounge upside down. “I'm looking for my car keys, have you by chance seen them?”“Yes I have”, I nodded my head, and he glared at me, shrugging his shoulders that I tell him where I saw them“Well?”, he put up his hands in a helpless gesture. “Aren't you going to tell me where you saw them?”“You just asked me if I've seen them by chance, not where”, I shrugged back, and he protested quietly before drawing a deep breath, exhaling sharply afterw
“If only love was enough”-Damon's POV“Damon?”, I felt a hand on my shoulder, shaking me awake, and I peeled my eyes open to see my mother kneeling next to me, looking defeated.“What did you do?”, she whispered sadly, her voice almost breaking and my eyebrows arched up in confusion“What do you mean?”, I looked over my shoulder hoping to see Layla sleeping peacefully beside me, but she wasn't, her side of the bed was wrinkled up and empty. My heart sank when I realized she was gone.“She left this morning”, my mother informed me and I jumped off the bed to the closet only to see that all her clothes were gone“Did she say where she was going?”, I reached for her phone to dial her number, it rang at first, but then it took me straight to voicemail“She went back home, to her father's house”“Mother, why didn't you wake me up? I could have stopped her”.My mother shrugged lightly. “I also didn't know, she left a note saying she needs some time to herself and that she's not sure when s
Damon's POVMy Grandfather was back home but still a little weak due to his condition. He demanded to be bought back home about a week after he regained consciousness, refusing to be kept at the hospital to die there. There was not much to be done, except to be thankful for his presence with us each day.Layla and I were there to help in taking care of him because he needed us more than anything, like I still needed him. I know he had his moments of being something else but that didn't change the fact that he my grandfather, and I was fond of him. He taught me everything I needed to know about the corporate industry and everything that is there to being a successful businessman. The truth is, I would be lost without him and the thought of him dying was too much to bear.Walking towards his room, I stopped by the door when I heard voices in the room and peeked a little to see Layla covering him with a warm blanket, while adjusting his pillows behind him. Layla was a sweet, caring and c
Damon's POV《Flashback》“Do you have your wedding vows ready?”, Matt asked me while we were sitting in the in balcony of my hotel room, getting drunk at my so-called bachelor partyI rose my eyebrow at him. “What for?”He chuckled, holding the beer bottle to his mouth. “It's your wedding tomorrow”“Wedding vows are for people who are actually in love Matt, my case with Layla is completely different”, I looked at the sky above, and I could hear them snickering“I bet Layla is a knockout, isn't she?”, Taylor asked, and I made an uncertainty sound while shrugging“No”, I lied. “She's not even attractive”“Oh come on, she can't be that bad”, Taylor nudged me on the elbow. “If she was ugly-ugly I doubt you would have agreed to marry her”“Can we just drop this? I'm not in the mood to talk about it”, I snapped at them and they both leaned back on their chairs, raising their hands in surrender.“I'm just saying it's best if you have your wedding vows with you tomorrow, maybe Layla has alread
Layla's POV“Layla, you have visitors downstairs”, Mary peeked into my room and I turned to look at her“Who is it?”A smile crept onto her lips. “It's best if you come see for yourself”I ran down the stairs and there was no one there and walked into the kitchen where I found Mary drying the dishes. I folded my arms and walked towards her with my brow raised.“I never thought you do pranks Mary”She laughed. “Harry took them for a tour outside in the garden”“Them?”Before she could answer me, the front door opened“It's so beautiful”“Thank you, Harry”Seeing who they were the second they walked in, I screamed while jumping up and down, and they joined in, squealing in excitement as I ran up to them for a group hug. My girls were here.“Why didn't you tell me you guys were coming?”, I was still trying to catch my breath from all that screaming the second we released each other “And ruin the surprise?”, Stacy raised a brow and I shushed her up playfully before hugging them again ind
