Day 16.

Wh- what.. is that'.. Layla ran faster after getting out of the Gaara office in a hurry. She can still feel her face was hot .. her heart beating faster, no sign to slow down.

Maybe people were looking at her wondering but she needed to get out of there quickly . or not she is not gonna grasp what just happened..

.. What with him!!...' She says to herself.. and slowing down her pace when Kazekage buildings are far…'.

People around her just looked at her weirdly. 'While catching her breath, Layla straightened her clothes.

Brushing her hair behind her ear, her heart beat thump again as she remembers how Gaara's voice whispers to her ears so alluring.. there was a weird sensation in her stomach right now.. Blood rushed into her face as she remembered his words.

Walking down the sidewalk , Layla trying to think about the situation earlier, ' Is he really that erotic?.. ' brushing her lips , Layla wonder what happen to Gaara?..

How will she face him after that happens!.. ' She murmurs.

Layla took a deep breath!.. ' Maybe he was caught in the situation and there was no meaning behind it. '… That was!.. She is trying to convince herself.

And not trying to think anything because he will have a fiance sooner so what happened earlier may just be coincidence or…

Get on her knees at the side walk.

She tried to buy it but futile his face earlier made Layla doubt her feelings again…

Are you okay??.. '. A husky voice asked the petite girl on her knees .

Layla looked up when a voice echoed in her ears'..' I'm fine.. 'she simply replied to the stranger standing in front of her now.

Offered his hand as Layla reached the hand , and the man pulled Layla up..' You don't look fine as you told me.. ' The man spoke.

Ahahaha, you caught me'..Layla was cheering up and dusting the dust off her skirt.' Thank you.. ' She says.

Release her hand, The man just smiles at her when she says thank you.. ' Can I help you? You seem exhausted.

As my token of thanks, would you like having an ice cream with me?..

I.. would like to'.. The man accepted her invitation..

Welcome ';.. The waitress says after hear the door open.

Ah!.. welcome Layla san!!.' The waitress happily greeted their regular customers.

I suddenly crave to eat ice cream right now, Layla told the waitress while smiling at them.

One other of the waitresses , Poking Layla using her shoulders to get Layla's attention as she whispers to her'.. It is rare for you to come with a man beside you'. The waitress whispers to her while looking at the man.

Knowing what she meant' Layla quickly shaking her head,' I just met him earlier and somehow he helped me, and as a token graduate I'm asking him to come with me.. That's all. Layla explained..

She could see the waitress' disappointed face,' Do you want the usual?.. '

Yes, Layla answers.. '

Are you ready to order? Mr?.. Layla asked the stranger.

Realizing maybe he was asking, the man told the waitress his order..

So this was your favorite place?'.. '

Surprised by his correct guess, Layla wondered where he knew.. ' How. You know?' Layla asked cheerfully.

Judging by how the waitress knows your order , that is why I came to the conclusion that maybe this place was your favorite.'.. Amazed by the man guessing , Layla clapped her hand.. ' That was amazing, mister'..

Chuckling at her compliment, He suddenly became shy.. ' That was nothing, just a shinobi intuition' ..

She was amazed more when he told her that he was a shinobi,'.. Is it true that you can walk on water?.. She asked very curiously until her eyes sparkling with excitement..;

Clearing his throat , the man told her.. what she wanted to know accompanied by the ice cream they were having as the time slowly passed ..

'That was fun…' thank you for today'.. She says

Me too, ' Thank you for the ice cream..',

It's nothing..'She says to him as they walk on the sidewalk..

I meant it. For a few days my mind was messy . it's good to have a friend like you..'

Looking up at him, Layla wonders if there is something bothering him..

Ya know, I've never known your name?'.. ..

Suddenly stopped walking. The man did so looking behind him.. ' Layla.. you can called me that'

Then you called me Kenji too, '.

After telling each other names, As the sun goes to sleep.. They walked a different path .

While Layla has completely forgotten about Gaara'..

Sayuri!!. Wake yourself!.. won't up'..

NO!.. I want Kenji's dad!.. please let me meet him'.. ' Sayuri ran amok inside the house.

You!!. Kantarou says one to his subornatined to retain his daughter'..

Dad!!. I want kenji .. ' She shouted out of her lungs to his dad.

Enough!.. Your wedding with Gaara sama has already been set!.. forget that useless guy!..

Seeing the vase nearer to her, Sayuri grabbed the vase and threw it to the floor to make it break into pieces'.. Let me see him or not'. Sayuri picked the fragments of the glass and threatened to cut her wrist if her father didn't listen to her.

Put his hand above his chest , Kantarou trying to calm down the girl, Sayuri listened carefully'.. throw that glass.. 'Kantarou speaks nicely.

There is nothing she wants to see more than Kenji silhouette now, She doesn't care about herself or others'.. Let me out!!!!.'She shouted even louder than before as she became impatient '..

This fool daughter of mine'.. Kantarou sighed.. glancing to his subornatined'.. Find Kenji and let him come here .. but remember don't let anyone know this.. Understand!!.

He gave stern advice..

Nodded understanding of his orders'.. their disappearing without trace..

Sayuri, calm down.. I already told them to get Kenji here'..

Throwing the pieces, Sayuri is happy when her father listens to her.. quickly she wipes her tears and hurriedly gets ready to meet the lover of her heart..'

Shaking his head , ' Kantarou needs Kenji getting out of Sayuri life or his plan will never work..

To be continued.
