A/N Hi. I received quite a few positive reviews and ideas on my last chapter. So am buzzing with new ideas.
If you do review my story with ideas, please tell me whether you want to have a Shout Out!
The idea of the main basis of this story (probably in the next few chapters) is thanks to LittleMixer15900 (still room for other ideas)
"Layla... You can't do that. He's dangerous..." Johnny moaned as he walked into the Vic, hours later. He followed his friend through the double doors. Layla walked over to Jay and Lola who had isolated themselves in the corner. Lola smiled at Layla as she sat down.
"Bye Johnny!" Layla said through gritted teeth. Johnny gave her a blank expression. He then groaned and walked behind the bar.
Layla turned around as she felt bad, but instead of seeing Johnny, she caught Mick's eye. She quickly looked away as the doors of the Vic swung open and a tall man walked through. He had short brown hair, brown eyes, and wore jeans and a leather jacket. He was gorgeous.
"Layla. Rich said you came round... With a boy!" The man said walking up to Layla. She jumped up when she saw him.
"Aaron. Yeah... We're just friends though." Layla wrapped her arms around Aaron, before she pulled away and he planted a kiss on her lips. Mick watched the scene unfold from behind the bar "Just give me one sec, 'n I'll be out!" Layla turned away from her boyfriend and walked straight over to the bar. She leant over the counter towards Mick. "If you don't stop staring at me, I'm gonna call the police for stalking!" She whispered in his ear, before turning back and giving Aaron a forced smile. "Let's go!" Aaron took Layla by the hand and they walked out of the Vic.
Linda, Johnny and Nancy walked out of the Vic. They were going to see Linda's mother. Nancy smiled at Layla as they walked out. Layla was stood talking to a boy Nancy didn't recognise.
Meanwhile...
"She climed out the window?" Layla laughed
"Yep. Her mum went mental!" The boy replied... It was Joey
"She generally climed out onto the window ledge?"
"Yeah! Max had to pull her down!"
Layla and Joey were stood talking about Lauren. Joey was telling Layla all of Lauren's embarrassing moments. Layla was finding it quite amusing, even though it was all about her friend.
"Right! I've gotta go." Layla smiled as she walked off. She walked across the road. Layla waited until Nancy and co were out of sight, before walking round to the Vic.
Knock Knock
She knocked very gently on the door of the Vic.
"We don't open till eleven!" Came a voice from inside
"Mick... Can I come in?" Layla asked quietly. Inside went quiet. Layla pressed her head against the glass on the door. "I'm sorry about what I said..." The door unlocked and opened slowly. Mick appeared behind it. "I brought chocolates!" Layla joked, pulling a box of Thornton's selections from her bag. Mick let out a small laugh as he opened the door wider, allowing Layla to step through. She strutted through and stood near the table in the corner. Mick sat down as she perched on the surface of the table. She sighed loudly and placed the chocolates on Mick's lap. He looked up at her and smirked. There was an awkward silence...
"So... How long have you known Aaron?!" Mick asked after a few minutes of quiet.
"About... 3 years.." Layla replied
"Oh."
The silence came again. But this time it lasted longer.
"Do you... Wanna go into the back?" Layla asked. Mick nodded and they strolled into the living room. Layla slumped on the sofa. Her phone started to vibrate in her jeans pocket, making her giggle. She checked the text, but didn't reply. The tension in the room was high.
"Layla..." Mick asked gently as he sat down next to her "Do you hate me...?"
"No! What made you ask that?"
"I dunno. You've just been ignoring me. It didn't feel right..."
"Well first of all, your like twice my age, so we're not exactly expected to be friends!" the two of them laughed through the awkwardness. Layla moved slightly, rocking the couch. She had a pillow on her lap. Mick watched her wriggle. He put his hand on her shoulder.
"Lay." he said gently. She stopped moving and looked at him.
"Wh..." Layla started, but she was cut of by Mick plunging his lips into hers, just like last time.
But today was different. Today, Layla didn't pull away... Instead she kissed back. The kiss seemed to last forever. Layla only stopped when she needed air. She took a few deep breaths. She turned Mick again, and without thinking, she was the one who kissed him. She didn't know what she was doing. She didn't know how she fely. All the signals were confusing and didn't make any sense. It seemed to spiral out of control Until….…
