"Why the fuck is he here?" Landon says harshly his voice growing deeper.

"I don't know." I tell him honestly.

"Hey Layla, you left your bag in my car." Dante says from behind my door.

"Oh, uh, hey, give me a second I'm just getting changed." I say yelling back as I scurry out of the bed and put Landon's shirt on me.

Landon watch's me amused, but as if remembering who was on the other side of the door his facade changes to an emotionless one, his eyes growing a darker shade of grey.

Landon ends up putting his boxers and pants back on and lays against my headboard as he observes me.

I make my way to the door and open it just enough for Dante to only see me.

Dante's face comes into view as he holds my black bag in his hand.

"Hey. Sorry for barging in, the front door was open I knocked but you didn't answer s-

He stops midway as he takes in my body with his eyes. His eyes don't linger anywhere for you long, but then they stop on my neck.

I look at him confused as his light blue eyes turn dark.

He was about to speak but then I get pulled against someone's chest.

Immediately recognising the tatted hand around my waist, Landon stands behind me as he towers over Dante.

"Why the fuck are you here?" Landon's deep voice says lowly to Dante.

Dante's eyes change from my neck to his figure.

"I was dropping her bag off." He says holding the bag up as he eyes, Landon.

"And why do you have her bag?" Landon questions again.

Dante shrugs and speaks,

"I dropped her home." He says emphasising the 'I' a bit too much.

Landon's hold on me tightens but not enough to hurt me, as his cold eyes glare bullets to Dante's.

"Leave." That is all Landon says before snatching the bag from him and pulling me back into the room as he shuts the bedroom door in his face.

I look at Landon wide-eyed as he casually lays back down on the bed and stares up at me.

He pats the spot next to him and I slowly make my way over.

I cross my legs as I face Landon on the bed.

He stares into my eyes as his face remains emotionless.

"He took you home?" He asks.

I nod my head as I start playing with his hand.

"He likes you." Landon states bluntly.

My head snaps up to his and I stare at him wide-eyed as I drop his hand.

"What? No, he couldn't." I say in disbelief as I shake my head.

Landon rolls his eyes and places my hand on top of his motioning for me to continue playing with it.

"He does, your just oblivious." He says blankly.

I roll my eyes at him and trace his tattoos.

We sit in silence for a bit until he breaks it.

"I'll kill him."

I stare at Landon and shake my head.

"No Landon. He's your friend." I say seriously.

"And I don't give a fuck." He states casually.

He starts twirling a curl from my hair around his finger as he stares at me.

"You're mine, Layla." His voice deep and husky, as his eyes bore into mine.

"Only mine." He whispers out as his lips go to my jaw placing a soft kiss there.

I sigh and lean against his touch.

I wrap my arms around his neck and cuddle into him.

His arms wrap around my waist possessively as he pulls me against his body.

I rest my head against his chest and close my eyes as I easily fall asleep to his steady heartbeat.

*

I woke up to pure darkness as my body felt heavy against the bed, it couldn't have been any later than 2 am.

"Kill them."

I hear Landon's voice speak darkly.

I look around the room and see Landon's figure pacing back and forth as he speaks on the phone harshly.

"I'll do it myself." He says ending the call and runs a hand through his hair.

As if feeling my eyes on him he snaps his eyes to me, and I see his emotionless face soften the slightest.

"Sleep, Layla." He says blankly as he walks over to me.

I shake my head and nod towards his phone.

"Who was that?" I asked him sitting up and resting my head against the headboard.

He stares at me blankly and answers.

"Business."

I roll my eyes at his answer and close my eyes again.

"Layla, I'm leaving." He says cautiously.

I sigh and keep my eyes closed.

"Okay, are you coming in the morning?" I ask him sleepily.

"No. I'm leaving for a couple weeks."

And with that my eyes snap open, all the tiredness leaves my body as I stare at him shocked.

"What?" I say breathlessly.

He stares at me and then looks away to my window beside me.

"I've gotta handle some things." He says avoiding eye contact with me.

"Last time you said that I didn't see you for three months." I say raising my voice a little.

His jaw tenses up and he licks his lips before replying.

"I know. I'll be back before graduation, I promise you." He says now looking me in the eyes.

I frown, still not satisfied.

"Can I come with you?" I ask him hopefully.

He shakes his head immediately.

"It's too dangerous Layla, you'll get hurt. And you've got school."

I stare at him blankly before leaning my head against the pillow and sighing.

"Fine. But you need to call me every day." I say sternly and gazed up into his eyes.

He rolls his eyes at me and then nods his head.

"I'll try." He says.

"You will." I say seriously towards him.

He stares down at me emotionlessly but I could see the amusement dancing in his eyes.

He takes my hand and places a kiss on it before wrapping his arms around my waist pulling me to him.

I sigh as I hug him back knowing I won't be seeing him for a while.

We stayed in each other's embrace for a little while longer, until he broke the hug and stood up taking me with him in the process.

He leaned down and kissed my cheek lingering his lips there before pulling them away.

I smile up at him softly and press my lips against his cheek.

I pulled away and looked up at him.

His eyes pierce into mine as he speaks,

"I'll see you soon, Layla." He says before placing one more kiss on my forehead before turning and leaving through my bedroom door.

I lay back down on the bed as I hear the front door shut close.

I looked over at the time and saw that it was 3 am.

Knowing I wouldn't go back to sleep, I stayed awake for the rest of the night with only him on my mind.
