This chapter is dedicated to @elegance124 for her constant votes. Thank you!!

'' Did that bitch just call me a bitch? '' I scoff.

Who the hell is she anyways.
She is dressed to impress. Her make up was flawlessly done. She has wavy red hair and her purple dress hugs her slender curves nicely.

She is beautiful but with a nasty attitude.
Does she live here or is she here for someone?

'' Whatever. '' I mutter to myself.

'' Whatever what? '' I hear a familiar voice behind me.

I turn around and see a beaming Layla.

'' Layla! '' I squeal and throw my arms around her engulfing her in a tight hug.

'' Hey Gigi. '' she greets still beaming.

'' Wha.... What are you doing here? '' I ask surprised.

'' haven't you missed me? '' She asks with a slight frown on her face.

'' Of course I have but I'm just surprised to see you here. I've missed you a lot. '' I say.

'' Aw I've missed you too. '' She hugs me again.

'' So What are you doing here? '' I ask.

'' Cassio is here for a meeting. '' She answers with a shrug.

'' Meeting? '' I ask.

'' Yeah. Mr Saverio is hosting a meeting with some of his men. I decided to accompany him so I can see you. '' She explains in her usual chirpy tone and a smile tugs the corner of my lips. God I've missed this girl.

'' Wanna have dinner with me? '' I ask.

'' No thanks, I think I'm getting bloated. '' She says and I chuckle.

'' Just a little, what harm could it cause. '' I plead.

'' Yeah, says the girl who has the appetite of a blue whale and still looks fit. '' She pouts and I notice her rub her tummy lightly.

' Oh my God. '

'' Layla. '' I call. '' Is there something you want to tell me?. '' I ask giving her a shrewd look.

'' Um... '' She looks at her feet shyly.

'' Um...? '' I urge.

'' I'm pregnant Gigi. '' She squeals and I join in.

'' I'm so happy. I'm going to be an aunty. '' I throw my arms around her.

'' Yeah me too. '' She pulls away and wipes her tears.

'' Why you crying lay? '' I ask concerned.

'' Cassio isn't ready? '' I ask.

'' God. No....no... '' She sniffles.

'' God damn me. It's just hormones, I've been overly emotional. '' She says, still sniffling and I chuckle.

'' How does Cassio feel about it? '' I ask.

'' Is there a word beyond happy? '' She asks.

'' Overjoyed? '' I suggest.

'' Yes. he's overjoyed and excited he wouldn't stop saying how he wants it to be a girl so he can spoil her and treat her like his little princess. '' She laughs and I join in.

I lead Layla to the kitchen and open the cabinet for glasses.

'' I can't take alcohol Gigi. '' She says.
