Layla’s pov

“Uh, no I don’t mind,” I was rather thankful that I hadn’t stammered. But not the same can be said for the flaring of heat I felt on my cheeks.

My eyes moved away from Tyler’s bare upper half and they settle themselves on the countertop as if it was the most magnificent thing in the room.

It wasn’t, sure it was expensive but someone else looked more appealing than marble.

After a few teases here and there, Bryce passes both Tyler and me a plate filled with sausages and french toast.

The smell of the sausages was mouth watering and my belly surely agreed with me by growling, very loudly.

The entire room went silent and I was aware of the eyes on me just a mere second after or perhaps even before that.

“Had you not eaten before coming here Layla?” Tyler asked, sounding concerned which shocked me slightly.

I looked at him and nervously sat down on the stool before answering. “I did.” I lied smoothly and truly deserved a pat on the back for sounding so true when I was not.

Sadly, my acting skills were too farfetched because Tyler didn’t seem to believe me. At least he didn’t call me out on my bullshit. He just merely gave me a look that quite showed he knew that I had lied and just nodded.

“Then it must not have been a heavy meal. Go on eat up, I have to show you around before Daffodil wakes up.” He said the corner of his lip lifted slightly into a tiny grin that held secrets and intrigued me.

I don’t question him about it, knowing he wouldn’t tell me, well the truth at least. After a few days of knowing Tyler and I already knew some of his character.
