"Ok Kelly, that's me off to work. I'll see you later." Layla shouted before closing her door. She rushed down the stairs as she was a little late waking up this morning. Layla speed walked up the streets as she was now approaching the coffee shop. She pushed the doors open and walked straight through. "Sorry am late boss, I woke up...late." Layla said seeing her boss sharing a romantic kiss with a tall bold, muscular man.
"Oh, Layla. I um, this is Antonio, my fiancé." Beth said finally pulling away for him. Layla sent him an awkward wave. "Well.. Beth turned round to face her love. "I have to get back to work, so I'll see you later." Beth said as they kissed one more time. Layla sighed before walking into the kitchen to get to work.
"Ok, that's my break Beth. Am just going to hang out with Kelly." Layla shouted through the kitchen. Layla turned around, grabbed her and Kelly's coffee as she went over to sit at the table.
"Thanks, so have you spoke to him yet?" Kelly said straight away.
"Who is 'him'?" Layla said taking a sip out of her hot beverage.
"Oh c'mon Layla, you know who am talking about." Kelly said gulping down her coffee.
"I know, but what am I meant to say?" Layla sighed "I can't exactly go over there saying I love you. It's not going to change anything." Layla said crossing her arms.
"What you guys need to do is talk about this. And soon." Kelly said placing her cup back on the table. "Well I better go, I have a dat- I mean me and Colt are going to hang out." Kelly said biting her nails nervously.
"You guys are going on a date?" Layla said smiling widely.
"Nope. No date. Just hanging out, that's what friends do, duh." Kelly said with a nervous laugh.
"No, you guys are going on date." Layla said now standing up holding the two empty cups. "Well you better go, you don't want to be late for your date now." Layla said sending Kelly a sarcastic wink. Kelly smiled before rushing out the coffee shop. Layla chuckled to herself as she entered the kitchen.
"Layla, you can have the rest of the day off." Beth said as she passed her in the kitchen. Layla was caught be surprise. She wasn't sure if she heard her right.
"Wait, did I just hear you right." Layla said placing done the cups and jogging over to Beth.
"Yes you did. Me and April have a lot of planning to do so am closing the coffee shop for the day." Beth said smiling.
"Well, um thanks I guess." Layla said as she began to untie the string that held her apron around her waist. She hung the apron up before she left the coffee shop. As she walked outside into the cold air that surrounded her thought of what she could do it her share time until she had her other job at Carl's pizza place. She then remembered about Phil. She knew she had to talk to him soon, so she could get things off her chest. She pulled out her cell phone to look through her contacts. She then got to Phil's name. She looked through the contact info to see the address of where Phil worked. She noticed it was just round the corner of the street she so started to walk in that direction.
Layla entered a dark room with a wrestling ring in the middle. She saw about ten men standing in a row all set up in wrestling gear. The was another guy walking back and forth talking to the men using hand gestures. That guy was Phil. Once the ten men noticed Layla, the paid no attention to Phil and decided to look in Layla direction.
"Guys, guys. Are you even listening to me?" Phil said a little stressed. He noticed that they were looking at something behind him. He's eyes trailed around to see Layla standing on the apron on the ring. "Ugh, Layla. Hey, what can I do for you?" Phil said scratching the back off his neck.
"Dude, you finally dumped that jerk April, and got yourself this babe, well done man." One of the guys said patting him on the back. Layla slightly blushed.
"Oh am not his girlfriend." Layla said with disappointment on her tons of voice. "Phil can I talk to you in private?" Layla said biting her lower lip. Phil nodded as she ordered the guys to do something before existing the ring and walking over to the other side of the massive room.
"So what do you want to talk about?" Phil said crossing his arms looking down.
"Um, well, about this whole me, you and April thing we have going on." Layla said quite shakily. "Phil, I don't know what to do anymore. We can't keep doing this every time she is away because the minute she gets back or she finds out my heart gets broken." Layla said trying hard for no tears to ran down her cheeks.
"I know, am sick of it but what am I meant to do Layla?" Phil said straighten his hair back.
"Well, why can't you just buy a new apartment?" Layla said also pushing her hair back in place.
"I don't have the money to do that right now, things are tight." Phil said sighing deeply.
"Well, i don't exactly want to say this but of you stay with that bitch who is going to make your life a living hell, there can't be us. So Phil, it's either me or April." Layla said before turning around walking off. Phil watched her leave as he became stress. Layla's tummy twisted as she was nervous. She didn't want to say that to him but she had no choice. She didn't want to end up always having a broken heart because of her evil sister.
Layla walked up the stairs as she reached her apartment door. She slid the key through the lock as she quickly twisted and opened her door. She walked through to the living room to catch Colt and Kelly all over each other kissing madly. Layla cleared her throat. Their heads shot up to see Layla smiling at the two. The pulled away from each other sitting on the couch with a big gap in between.
"Don't worry, I'll go to my room and leave you guys to do what ever you guys want to do." Layla said quickly leaving and entering her bedroom.
"Ok, good bye Carl." Layla said as she left the shop. It was the first time in a long time that she didn't have to deliver pizza to Phil's place. Layla wasn't sure of that was a bad pr a good thing. She quickly shook they thoughts away as she spotted April and Phil. She noticed that they were arguing which wasn't a surprise. April finally noticed Layla and called her over. Layla ignored the continuous calls of her name and made her way back to her apartment. She wasn't in any mood to talk to her bitch of a sister.
