Chapter 11
Jamie and Lyla both smiled happily as they entered the restaurant. This was them ready for their double date with Kyle and Jenn. They had dressed up well in black suit pants, a white polo shirt with simple black socks and black polished shoes, Lyla meanwhile wore a beautiful black mid-thigh length dress with black heels.
"Well, here we are." Jamie said cheerfully.
"Yeah." Lyla replied. "This should be great, it'll be nice to finally get away from all our troubles, if only for a night."
Jamie nodded in agreement, squeezing her hand reassuringly. He knew Lyla was facing a lot of problems right now, he just hoped they could overcome them and make things better for her.
'She's had a hard time, her father being the way he was. Now her dealer is hassling her for money, even though she's no longer buying from him, so she can pay him back if he's just patient.' He thought. 'Urgh, Lyla deserves so much better than this, I just wish I could do something for her.'
"Jamie, you okay?"
He started and then smiled to Lyla. "Yeah, yeah, I'm okay, I just...was thinking."
She smiled back. "Don't worry about it; let's just have a good time, look, the others are already here."
Jamie looked up and noted she was right. Grinning at them as they approached, Kyle and Jenn were already seated and waiting. They too had dressed up, Jenn in a red mid-thigh length skirt, a black sweater and black heels, she wore her hair in a bun and dark red lipstick. Kyle was in black dress pants with a grey V-neck sweater and black dress shoes. Jamie and Lyla hurried over to join them, sitting down in the free seats.
As soon as they sat down, Jamie and Lyla joined Kyle and Jenn in giving their orders before settling into their seats.
"So, hear about Sean and Cassidy?" Kyle asked.
The others all smiled and Jamie replied. "Yeah, they finally sorted things out I heard, looks like everything's back on track for them."
"Yeah, everything has been crazy for quite some time now." Jenn remarked. "But it looks like we're getting through it, slowly but surely."
Kyle agreed, putting his arm around his girlfriend. Jamie looked over at Lyla, worriedly but she just smiled to him and nodded.
"So, what about you guys, have you finally managed to deal with any...issues?" She asked casually.
"Yeah, I'd say so, dad's finally calmed down and things are definitely looking up for us." Jenn replied delightedly.
She and Kyle shared a secret smirk, already knowing exactly what they planned to do after the date.
Kyle then asked. "So, what about you guys, everything alright?"
Lyla shifted in her seat. "Um, yeah, I mean...It's still a bit overwhelming trying to deal with all this but we're managing, yeah."
Jamie nodded, gently taking her hand under the table, trying to reassure her. It was then their food arrived and they began to eat and simply enjoy themselves, having a good time, talking about more cheerful topics, much to Lyla's relief. Jamie of course knew about her true issues, but it was only him, she hadn't yet worked up the courage to tell the others.
Unfortunately for Lyla, the happy and wonderful night ended up with a dark spot. For at that moment, her phone began to vibrate, she quickly checked it and her throat tightened, she knew that number well enough.
"Lyla?" Jamie began worriedly.
She looked up, Kyle and Jenn were also watching her, looking worried and confused, her fear must have shown on her face.
"I...It's fine, I'll be right back, I just gotta take this." She said quickly.
With that she quickly got up, straightening her dress out of habit, while quickly answering her phone as she made her way to step outside.
"About time you answered, Park." Her dealer snarled.
She replied quickly. "I'm on a double date with my boyfriend and friends."
The dealer just scoffed. "Sure, like you should care about that trash when you have more important concerns, like my money."
"I already told you-"
"I'm not interested in sob stories and lies." He snapped. "Now, since you're not gonna pay up, I've been talking with a couple of associates and we've got a solution. When it's time I expected you to dress up nice and come to the address I send you."
"What, I..."
"Then you'll...give us a show." He revealed.
Lyla froze in horror and disgust, she knew what it meant. He was forcing her to give him and his friends a strip show.
"That's-" She tried to protest.
But he made it clear. "What you're gonna do to pay off your debt, or I could just kill you."
Lyla shuddered, realizing to her horror, she had no choice after all.
"Alright, alright, just...tell me when you need me and..." Lyla replied, her voice shaking.
Her dealer laughed. "Good, excellent, keep your phone ready."
With that he hung up and Lyla sighed, heading back to the restaurant, her happiness completely deflated.
End of chapter, things are looking grim now, anyway, read and review please.
