Chapter 54

Layla

A week went by and I was now back to my normal classes.

Landon had visited me nearly every day and if he hadn't, he would call me.

It was now Wednesday afternoon and I was at the coffee shop with Eliot and Violet.

"I'm officially on a girlfriend search." Eliot explains as he grins at us.

Violet and I look at each other and then burst out laughing.

Eliot frowns and rolls his eyes.

"Rude." He mumbles as he throws some fries into his mouth.

"We love you Eli, but we just can't see you settling down with anyone." Violet says shrugging.

I nod my head in agreement as I sip my milkshake.

"I'm gonna prove y'all wrong." Eliot says squinting his eyes at us.

"Just wait." He says pointing a finger towards us both.

I shake my head amused at him.

"There's a party tonight." Eliot says as he eyes me.

"No, I'm not going to go." I say looking at them both.

Violet sighs and Eliot pouts.

"Please." Eliot says as he hands me a fry.

"I'm giving you a fry." He gestures.

I take a bunch of his fries into my hands and stuff them in my mouth in front of him.

His eyes widen as he looks at me in shock as to what I had just done.

I stand up from my seat and bolt out of the cafe.

I could hear Eliot behind me, just as I was going to make a left turn I bump into something hard.

Just before I could fall a pair of arms wrap around my waist steadying me.

I stood up properly and looked up at my saviour to see Jordan.

"Gotta watch where you're going, Layla." He says as he shakes his head amused at me.

I laugh and dust off my jeans.

"Sorry, Eliot was trying to-

I then remember Eliot and look around frantically but see no one.

I let out a sigh of relief.

"Never mind." I say and smile up at him.

"Where are you heading to?" I ask him.

"Just the grocery store down the road. Wanna come?" He asks me.

I nod my head in agreement and walk with him towards the store.
