Chapter 59: Loyalty

Layla's POV

After dinner was served, I tried by all means to keep myself busy and avoid by all means to bumping into Troy or Adriana. He kept stealing glances at me during dinner and at a spilled of a second, Adriana nearly caught him looking at me, but he quickly looked away and by the time she looked up, she found my eyes on her and I gave a short smile before looking away.

“Deniz, do you mind excusing us for a minute?”, Damon asked when he walked into the kitchen as I helped Deniz to serve dessert. “We'll take it from here, thanks”

He dismissed her, and she nodded her head before excusing herself

“Are you okay?”, he ran his hand up and down my arms from behind

“I'm fine”, I gave a short smile, pouring the custard over the pudding in each dessert bowl.” I'm just trying to keep busy”.

I felt his hand brush against mine, taking the custard and placed it on the counter

“You're a nervous wreck Layla, you're jumpy, and you're shaking, plus your mind was all over the place during dinner”,
