Chris said just two words " trust me " he looked at her brother she had knowledge of why her brother acted that way when it came to Chris. He was all protective but he still let her mingle with his friends but with Chris he was ready to be a shield ,barrier in front of her to stop Chris.
She loved this side of her brother but she also wanted to be with Chris at least now he was giving her a chance and she didn't want to waste it .He was trusting her with his heart she was smiling at him softly he glanced up at her and gave her a soft Charming smile that made her heart flutter she was really attracted to this devil in front of her .
He noticed she squeezed his shoulder reflexively what was wrong was she tensed he looked at Layla and said
"thanks so much you guys can go home Nathan will just send me your details and I will get them done ,you can come and collect your files when ever you are ready " he informed
Layla gave him a grateful smile she was also happy he already opened up himself in such a short time was she really an angel like her mother always called her she guessed she was ." I should be saying thank you for not abadoning my friend's feelings thanks for opening up .I will trust that you won't hurt her or I will murder you " she said with a serious expression that made chills run up his spine did she really need to threaten him .
He couldn't even think of it David would already kill him .He smiled at her sheepishly he didn't dare to speak his thoughts he hugged Lisa even more when Layla said that Lisa couldn't help but giggle was he afraid of her looks like she has got a lot of people to help her beat him up in case he did anything stupid .
They chatted for a little while then they started going when it was Chris closing hour Lisa wanted to spend some more time with him but her brother's gaze was fixed on her can't he just get a girlfriend already and worry about her it being stolen away by other guys instead of watching her every move with a guy.
She was really annoyed they bade Chris goodbye and got into their separate cars and drove home in the car no one intimated to talk first and her brother even left her to sit in the back sit with Layla was he avoiding her she really wanted to clear the air and know what Chris status was with her brother .
" hey bro you good with Chris " she asked making him look at her he just smiled at her she wanted to know his thoughts he was too quiet and that was a good sign " I want words brother " she said again trying bring him to say something. She felt someone's hand on hers it is was Layla's she was trying to give her a reassuring smile to tell her it was all okay .
She looked back at her annoyed what was she trying to do was it because she had her life easy with being Nathan's girlfriend he r own guy to prove himself to her stubborn brother being the fact that they knew each other it will make things more difficult she shook off Layla's hand harshly and looked outside the window crating space between her and Layla she didn't want to talk to her .
She liked the fact that she supported her back at the office but she didn't like it when she just supported her brother. Layla was quick to sense what was wrong she immediately reached for her phone and typed into it she messaged Lisa she had to communicate with her In a way it read :
" I understand what you are going through, David is just looking out for you he might be taking it too far but he just wants the best for you . I will try talking to him tonight to see if he can ease up a little " she wrote and added a winking emoji at the end.
Lisa checked her phone when she heard the notification sound she thought it was from Chris she excitedly took her phone out off her bag but was disappointed to only see a message from Layla . When she looked at her she saw looking out if the window at her side .She was at first reluctant but later read it.
She had a little smile on her lips when she read it finish unknown to her Layla was watching while she read it she was happy she read it at least the was no bad blood between them she immediately looked away when Lisa looked at her . After reading Lisa also messaged her back saying : " tnx that would mean a lot I'm sorry if I harboured bad thoughts against you I didn't mean to I was just angry " she sent back putting at the end a pleading and an emoji with puppy dog eyes.
