Anothyer winter morning came. Layla is, as usual, waiting for Will to come to her house. She hears her phone ring and answers it.
"Hello? Oh hi Will. What? You can't come over? Okay. Bye."
Layla hangs up the phone looking disapointed. She sits the phone down and falls backwards on her bed.
"Will not coming?"
"Warren, how did you...?"
"Your mom let me in."
"Oh."
"So is Will coming?"
"No. Not today. Hardly ever."
"You'll see him soon."
"I hope so."
She looked out the window with a look of sadness on her face. He could tell she was about to cry, so he put his arm around her to comfort her. She flung herself into his arms and held on tightly. His throat went dry and he was about to protest, but he found his arms around her as well. What is this and why is it happening.
"Thanks you so much Warren."
"Y-you're w-welcome." He said, almost unable to get the words out.
Her sweet lilac aroma filled his nose. She clung tighter to him, and he tried to speak, but his mouth produced no noise.
"Layla..."
His voice fades out, and he hears her voice in his head. Damn, I forgot about work. Ah! I'm late!
"Layla..I need to get to work. I'll come by afterwards."
---After work---
Warren knocks on the door and Layla answers a few seconds later.
"Hi, Warren. Come on in."
'Hey. You seem much happier now."
"Yeah, Will came by and said he was sorry."
The phone rings.
"Hello? Hi Will. Oh okay. See you in two weeks. Bye."
"You look sad again, and whats this about two weeks?"
"Will is gonna be gone until winter break is over."
She sits down on the couch and he sits beside her. He hugs her and she hugs him back tightly. His throat got dry again and he struggled to speak.
"It w-will be...okay.."
"I hope so."
I want to kiss her so bad. But why? Why me? Why her?
"Layla, I-"
His voice faded out as she pulled him closer to her. I love you, Layla, he said to himself.
"I need..to go..I'll be back tomorrow."
-----Next day at Layla's house-----
"Wanna watch a movie?"
"Yeah."
They sit down and Layla puts a movie in. They are sitting close to each other. He keeps telling himself to kiss her, but he can't move.
"Layla, I-"
His words get interrupted by a knock on the door. Layla gets up and snwers it.
"Will! I thought you weren't gonna be back until winter break is over."
"I came back early to be with you."
They start making out in the doorway.
"I should go."
"Oh hi Warren. Sorry I didn't know you were here. Well Layla, I need to get home. Bye."
"And he's gone again."
"Don't get sad."
"Why should I get sad? Just becuase my boyfriend doesn't spend and time with me doesn't mean that...Warren, I AM sad."
He grabs her tightly as she begins to cry.
"Layla, I...l-love...y-you."
He kises her softly and she kisses him back. Her arms go around his neck and his on her waist.
----At Layla's house the next day.----
"Hey, Will. I need to tell you something."
"What?"
"At homecoming last year-"
"Yeah, it was a disaster."
"Let me finish. I made the wrong choice."
"What choice?"
"I should have chose Warren over you. He loves me and actually spends time with me. So its over Will. Goodbye."
Will leaves and Warren kisses Layla passionately.
"I love you."
"I love you too, Warren. Never leave me."
"I won't. Never."
