Day 28.

Hurmmm,..

Gaara was glad to see her safe and unharmed, tucking Layla in bed he got a chance to kiss her on the forehead before switching off the light and leaving the room.

Head back downstairs, Gaara then saw Kankuro standing in the living room looking so sorry . Anger took control of him back " Gaara, I'm -.

Should you know better what happened when you brought her to the place like that?! Gaara grabbed the collar of Kankuro shirt, irritating shows on his face.

I'm sorry, I thought the girl's were with Layla all the time.. "Kankuro tries to explain.

Let Kankuro collar go, Gaara took a deep breath, hopefully it can help get his head cool.. "

Next time, just let me know if you take her out " Gaara plops onto the sofa.. Unbutton his shirt while Kankuro takes a seat across from him.

" Are you okay?..

Stress, Kantarou nosy why Sayuri can't move into this house while Layla is in it. " Gaara said tiredly . 'Actually, do you know people started to spread a rumor that Layla was a -..

Yeah, I know " Gaara cut the words Kankuro off . He was not deaf he knew what people said about Layla.. " Im go upstairs, I probably take a day off tomorrow can you handle it?, and the meeting too

The next morning,..

Sun shone seeped through the curtain blind her eyes made her awoke, Constantly opened her eyes to get used to the light, Layla woke up with a bad hangover. That's why she doesn't drink alcoholic drinks. It makes her drunk.

She can't barely remember anything after she drinks.

Her eyes were open properly watching the familiar ceiling,Layla wondered when she got back to her room last night.?. Turning to the side, Layla almost shouted when she saw Gaara sleeping soundly beside her at her bed.

Hurriedly she got up and checked if her clothes were still intact on her body, breathing relief when saw her clothes still there. ' What the hell, what is he doing here?!.. She asked herself.

A long sighed escape from her, Layla gets up and goes to the bathroom . She is too exhausted and mad at Gaara anymore.

Water beads falling to her body as the steam clouded the shower room, Unconsciously within the water Layla found her tears start falling to her cheeks. Her chest was so hurt " SHIT!!!WHY MUST I THINK ABOUT THAT!!..

What do you think?He asked nonchalantly.

Nothing,.. ' Layla replied while acting like nothing happened , even though she didn't see who it was, Layla knew it was Gaara..' Can you get out,

Instead doing what she told, Gaara slided the door as he came in, his shirt was wet.

Layla sighed in frustration, walked out and passed Gaara. She grabbed the towel and wrapped it around her. " I'm going out, you can take shower.. She said as walked out of the bathroom.

Layla!! Gaara shouted her name and followed her from behind while Layla didn't pay her mind.. ' Are you gonna take this too far?!..

Still Layla acted like nothing happened and just grabbed her clothes and when she went back to the bathroom Gaara grabbed her arm.. 'Stop ignoring me!!

Pulling her arm from his grip Layla meets his gaze " Is that an order?! Gaara sama?.. Layla said cheeky.

Yes it is?!!

Smirk shows on her face, Layla moves closer to him until her body against his own.. " I'm tired of living in this cage.. I just want my freedom back isn't that hard for you to let me go. She says in a low tone.

"Your place here, don't go anywhere please, that is my only wish " ..

Her eyes widened when Gaara fell to his knees. Did she just make the strongest man kneel before her?.. " Layla., " He looked up at her. " I am seriously in love with you, I can't handle a day without you, it drives me crazy..

Quickly Layla walked past him, locking the bathroom door while her heartbeat was getting faster.. She still can't believe what just happened did he just?!!.

I will be waiting in the dining room. He spoke before leaving the Layla room.

...

Oh, my poor Sayuri sama you must be shocked after hearing a rumor right?..Slightly smile, 'Im okay..' Sayuri simply replied.

The girl moves closer to Sayuri, "You know Sara threw a fit last night because Kankuro just left like that.. 'She whispered softly.

Arghh, Just looking at that wench face last night made me puke!! I'm sure she is just craving attention.. The girl was babbling about the incident last night.

Did you meet her?.. Sayuri asked the girl.

Sayuri has always been wondering what Layla looks like.

Of course, we even let her join us hmph!..

Sayuri sama, your father was asking for you.. ' an anbu suddenly appeared in front of them.

I'm sorry, but I got to go now '.. Sayuri then excused herself.

.

You help me, thank you..

"Are you that uncomfortable hanging out with Kantarou sama friends daughter's .. He asked.

Yeah, I prefer to stay at home..

Sayuri was always thankful to this man. He was always there for her when her father beat her up and treated her wound..

And he was the one that still felt responsibility for her mother death

..

Do you know because of your carefreeness that a stranger woman took a step ahead of you..

As soon as she arrived Kantarou was angry and shouted

. 'Gaara sama is always busy.. ' Sayuri gave an excuse.

Pang!!. He slapped her.

Sayuri's eyes shut tightly as she felt the pain while her cheek was reddened already..

Go to his house tomorrow night do something to make him fall over head to you even though you do that with your body.. Understand?!..

The pain on her cheeks doesn't compare with his sharp words. She fell on her knees when her father left the house. Must she suffer like this just because she was his daughter?
