WRITTEN TO BE HIS

I Said I Wouldn't Say Goodbye.

[Three months later]

Layla was sitting on Matthew's sofa watching tv in his living room, She smiled as she shook her head, It had been a week since she told Lucas about Matthew and her...To Layla's surprise he was totally fine with it, Well...Besides the threats of death towards Matthew if he ever hurt her.

Layla sighed peacefully as she sipped on her coffee, She wondered how she could find someone like Matthew, Her; A normal girl. She didn't think she was anything special...But Matthew did.

She heard muffled yelling coming from Matthew's office as she got up to go see if he was alright

"There is no reason for that Christopher...

No I want them taken care of right now...

Yes, Right fuckimg now!" he yelled, Hanging up the phone and turning to see Layla in the doorway

"Oh hey baby girl, What's wrong?" he asked holding his arms out for her to come to him

"Who was that Matt?" she asked walking towards him

"It's just business, Some fucking idiot put in the paper that I lured young girls into my company and blackmailed them to have sex with me" he said agitated as he held onto her

"W-Who would do that?" she asked wrapping her arms around his neck

"He's the ceo of crinshaw enterprises and the only son of one of the biggest business owners out there so...His opinion means a lot to the public eye" he said kissing her forehead softly as she backed away slowly out of his grasp

"Why aren't you more worried?"
s

he whispered looking into his eyes

"Honeysuckle, It will pass. I know my people and we're clearing it up now" he said walking towards her as she took another step back away from him, He looked at her confused

"But...You shouldn't have to do that, Face it Matt...I cause way to much trouble for you, I mean...This is your job we're talking about" she spoke up now standing at the entrance of the room again, If she was really about to end things with him...She couldn't be near him

"Layla. I know it's my job, But you mean mor-" he was cut off

"But I shouldn't, That's the problem...You're losing things for me...Important things, That can not happen" she whispered the last part as if it tore a hole in her heart just to think about them being apart

"W-What do you mean Layla?" he asked coming to stand in front of her, Grabbing her waist so she couldn't run from him

" I...I mean...This...Is d-done" she spoke removing his hands from her body.

"Layla, Please don't...You know i love you baby girl" he said as she saw hurt flash through his eyes

"...You think I don't? I love you so much Matthew...But I refuse to stand here and see you lose everything...for me" she sobbed out, Wiping the tears from her cheeks

"I don't car-" he was cut off as she nodded

"I know you don't, But i do" she whispered, Making her words as firm as she could,
H

e looked at her as he reached out to grab her again

"Don't...Please" she whispered as she shook her head rapidly, He slowly seized his actions and just looked into her eyes; No doubt that he saw the pain that lie behind them

"I love you" he said once more as a tear rolled from his eye, She cupped his cheek with her hand and rubbed her thumb across it softly

"I know you do...Goodbye Matthew" she sighed removing her hand from him. As she finally made it out of his house a part of her was saddened he didn't run after her...But she knew it was better that he didn't, However; Halfway down the street she heard a door open and his voice calling out her name over and over...Which only caused her pace to quicken and more tears to fall down as she sniffled out.

She made it to Lucas's place; His was closer to Matthew's than her own,

She found herself knocking on his door, Wiping away her tears vigorously as Lucas answered the door, He looked at her concerned
"Layla...What happpend?" he asked worriedly, as he grabbed her

she leaned into his arms, Allowing more tears to fall from her already red and puffy eyes as he held her close.
