Chapter Eighty.
Is there all of it? Miss?..
Checking her things properly, after making sure everything was here Layla nodded at the guards, "yes sir, everything was here.. Thank you again for picking up my bag "..
It is my pleasure Miss, if there is not anything, I excuse myself ' He bow his head down a little bit and leave the house.
Argh.. "Sighed escape from Layla's mouth.
I really live here didn't I?.. She asked herself over and over again not to believe if she dreamed or not.
Looking out the window, the sun is really high up already. Ahhh, she already missed when she out of her tent sunlight bathed her body.
(Knock!!)..
Layla flinched when someone knocked on the door, Put on a sandal to her feet, and walked slowly towards the door.
As she opened it, She saw Gaara standing in front her room,.. " Good Morning? " He greeted her.
If you wake up, come join me for breakfast." He suddenly invited his guest..
Smile awkwardly at him, " I'll be downstairs in five minute?.
Gaara nodded at her, 'I'll be waiting. " Gaara says before he walks down the stairs.
As soon the doors were closed again, Layla rushed to get ready.. Thankfully her room has a bath room inside of it so she doesn't share it with Gaara. Now that they are living together for a while.
Wearing a long black skirt, with sleeveless white shirt weather on Sunagakure really hot, maybe less fabric she could feel cool .. Her long dark brown haired she just kept loose untied. Putting some thin makeup to make doesn't look so pale.
After practicing with some smile, Layla now finished as she slipped sandal into her feets. She walked toward downstairs.
When she was downstairs, she looked around for the kitchen because this house was freaking big!! " as expected from the man who earned the Kazekage title. He must be rich.
Walking slowly as her feet still hurts and bandages . Hope she can find a freaking kitchen!.. .
May I help you Layla san?..
Suddenly a voice behind her made her get surprised and almost stumble but she had time to support her body near the wall. "That was close ' She says to herself.
Oh my god , I'm sorry Layla san" .. A middle aged woman quickly apologized to her.
Smile at the lady, ' It's okay .. If they say sorry that was me .. I wasn't looking at my surrounding" She said to the lady as she stood straight.
Gaara sama was expecting you in the kitchen to have breakfast together. ' The lady explained and pointed towards the kitchen.
After bowing her head down to the lady, Layla walked towards the place she pointed at. She finally saw Gaara sitting at the head seat without touching his food yet.
.. Kazekage sama.
Gaara looked up to where the voices were " and saw Layla. " Sit, you must be hungry right?..
Awkwardly, she took Gaara 's left side sitting on the empty chair, as the lady earlier came to the kitchen and began to serve her food.
Enjoy your meal ' Gaara sama, Layla San.. " She then excused herself.
Itadakimasu. "
Layla grabbed the chopsticks and ate, as when Gaara did the same, they were eating without talking to each other and just staying silent. Layla sometimes takes a glance towards Gaara , how come he looks perfectly and cool at the same time even though he was just eating .
Is there something wrong on my face?. When you look at me that intensely?.. " He met her eyes. As
He asked, While Layla's face was beaten into red, embarrassed she was caught looking at him... N.. No.. It.. Just " She turned to chaos.
Easy, it's not like I'm gonna..
(Splash)
..Gaara not yet finish his words as the a glass full of water fell into the floor while the glass were broke into a pieces
No!!." She gasped.. I'm sorry ' .. She apologizes and rushes to clean the floor but Gaara quickly grabs her hand and stops her. " Can you cool down for a sec.. " it is not like I'm gonna eat you.. " what happens if you get hurt again. " His voice suddenly calmed her down.
I'm sorry.. " She whispers but could heards it properly.
Sit back, Layla ashamed of what she did. Even though she denied it she was not afraid of him but it was actually the opposite seeing the rumoured Demon child she cannot help but feel restless everytime. But..
Gaara looked at her, Her hand still trembling with fear. " I'll go to the office, Just ask the maid if you want anything.. ' Without turning back, Gaara leaves the house.
I'm so stupid " .. She close her face with both her hands and tears filled her eyes. " She feels worse.
Uh.. Misaka san?.. She called the middle aged lady in front who was busy cleaning the kitchen.
Layla San, do you need something.. She asks Layla..
Could you tell me about Kazekage sama?.. I meant is the rumour true?. About him being a demon child. " ..
Smiling at the women, Misaka walked closer to the poor women.. She looked so pale she thought their Kazekage bring his friend but it was completely stranger back. " Are you afraid of him?.. Misaka asks.
Nodding at the middle aged women, " But .. Why the rumours seem so untrue, he treated me so nice even though I was a stranger to him.
Chuckles escape from Misaka's mouth, "Our kazekage seems the coolest man in the world but actually he was awkward towards people. I too once was afraid of him because he is a jinchuuriki of demon sand, but after he sacrificed his life to protect us and this village we all love him.. So there is nothing to be afraid of, people can change as Gaara sama has changed to better people.
So there was nothing to be afraid of, Deep down Gaara was a gentleman. You should know the village was ruckus about the news Gaara sama brought stranger women to the village.
Feeling embarrassed, Layla etched a smile.. " I should apologize to him later... " She thought.
To be continued.
