Chapter 8

The Next Day

As Layla got into her pants with the help of Stephanie, she held on tightly to her was finally getting out of the hospital

Layla's POV

"Thanks Steph, I'm so happy to get outta here but.. I'm kinda nervous because of the fact that John agreed to take care of me while I recover" I said kind-of-worried.

"Lay, you have nothing to worry about. John is just as in love with you as you are with him... he just brushed it off as a crush. His only problem is that he is afraid to be hurt again because of his pending divorce with Liz."

"How in the world do you know all of this?," I asked questioning Steph

"Quality of the Eavesdropping Queen"

Steph said bowing and bending down to put on my shoe.

"Anything else?" I asked rubbing my hands together causing friction in my palms.

"The rest... I can't tell you, that's John's job," Steph said and about 5 seconds before John and Hunter came in holding 2 Starbucks cups each before handing me and Steph coffee.

"Thanks,"Steph and I said coincidentally.

"So you ladies ready to leave?" Hunter asked.

"Yeah," I said before standing up and clutching my crutches and heading towards the doors to exit the room while Steph had my duffle bag in her hand.

We quickly got to the car before heading to my hotel room which was about 20 minutes away. We got out and I Steph opened the door with the keycard that was in my bag.

It's so good to be away from the smell of bleach, I swear if I smell it again i'm going to vomit," I said while plopping on to the couch, careful not to not to hurt my shoulder or leg even more.

"What's for breakfast?," Steph asked before sitting down next to me.

"I don't know, Lets order room service," John said handing everyone a menu before looking at one himself.

"I'll call" I said grabbing the telephone which was right next to me.

"I'll have egg whites, Bacon and pancakes" Steph said.

"I'll have eggs, pancakes,Bacon,Sausage,Waffles, Orange Juice and French Toast." John said.

"Oh my God, are you pregnant... you eat like your eating for 3" I said earning a laugh from Steph and Hunter while earning a deadly glare from John.

"Shuttup Lay. I'll burn off all of that within 2 hours at the gym," John said before sitting on a one man chair leaving Hunter standing up.

"What 'bout chu Hunt," I asked Hunter.

"I'll have the Special," Hunter said. I called and ordered.

We all watched "Good times" on Centric TV. Everyone waited the patiently for breakfast except for John. He kept complaining and basically bolted from his seat when he heard someone knock on the door. He collected the cart and pushed it to the balcony where a table for 4 was at. Then, he told everyone the food was ready before carrying bridal style to the balcony and placing me in my chair which happened to be next to him.

"Thanks," I said trying to hide my smile.

"No problem," He said winking at me.

Everyone sat in silence and John kept glaring at me. Soon after breakfast was finished,Steph and Hunter left to go and take care of Aurora because the nanny's shift ends in a few minutes. Which John and I alone and it got real awkward , real fast.

"Lay," John said.

"Yeah," I said grabbing my crutches and heading inside with John right behind me.

Then,I sat on the couch and John sat beside me.

"It doesn't have to be like this, I can tell by the look on your face that your uncomfortable. Look how fast thing changed... but we're still best friends Lay it's not supposed to be like this," John said sincerely.

"I know but what Steph said is true... I'm crazy about you and I know you feel the same... courtesy of Stephanie but I honestly don't know. I just can't be friends with you. Its much harder now that you know." I said trying to fight the tears threatening to fall from my hazel eyes.

"Then,we wont be friends," he said capturing my lips in a soft kiss
