Rejected To Be Your Second Chance novel Chapter 28

　　"What the hell is this?" I asked as the door closed.

　　He stood up and came over to me.

　　"She just wants to stay for a few days, said she missed us and wanted to spend some time together."

　　"And you told her no, right?" I asked and scanned his eyes.

　　Holy shit…

　　"Layla it’s not that easy,"

　　"Are you kidding me? You said that your ex mate could stay here? The woman that you have dedicated an entire fucking floor too?"

　　"It’s not like that. She doesn't want me back she just wanted to see us again."

　　"How can you be so delusional?" I breathed.

　　He was acting as though she hadn't left him and broken his heart.

　　Kade didn't speak and it was causing me more pain than if he were.

　　"Kade, she left, she caused you pain and now you’re inviting her back in?"

　　"She’s doesn't want back in, she missed us. We were all really close at one point."

　　"How dumb can you be!" I screamed in frustration and Kade’s brows furrowed.

　　"How would you feel if I had an ex who I allowed to stay with us in our home?" He looked down and shook his head.

　　"It’s just for a few days, I promise."

　　They were all sitting in the dining room and had started eating. Me and Kade joined them and the head warriors weren't there which was nice. This was awkward enough with just the six of us. Cara and Danielle were laughing and Anna sat with a scowl on her face.

　　Danielle stopped laughing and so did Cara when she saw my face. What was I thinking? How could I compete with this? She obviously knew them better, they loved her still and I was getting more and more sure that Kade did too.

　　Danielle looked at Kade and giggled.

　　"Did you keep the floor?" She asked with a soft smile. Everyone tensed including Kade who's eyes flickered between me and her.

　　"For now." She smiled and looked down at her food.

　　"I’m glad." Her voice was warm and smooth, she could make anything sound sensual and loving.

　　"Do you remember the final falls?" She asked and beamed with joy as she looked at him. Mason started laughing and Cara's eyes widened before she broke out in laughter as well.

　　"What’s that?" Anna asked sounding as uninterested as ever but Danielle explained anyways.

　　"There’s a waterfall a few miles away from here and when we were younger we’d go there after each school year and jump down." I went against my better judgment and looked at Kade. He was smiling at the fond memory.

　　He looked down, his eyes took in my facial features and the smile disappeared.

　　I had fallen asleep but something woke me up. It was still dark out and when I turned to see what time it was it was one-thirty at night. Kade's side was empty, he hadn't come back which meant he had been with her for the past two and half hours.

　　I angrily wiped the tear that fell and grabbed my pillows.

　　I slowly turned the doorknob and saw that the light was on in her room. Anna turned her head and sat up in her bed.

　　"Hey," she said and paused her film.

　　"Can I sleep here tonight?"

　　"Of course, I've missed our sleepovers." She pulled away the comforter and I laid down.

　　"You couldn't sleep either?" I asked her and she shook her head.

　　"I have a bad feeling, Layla. Danielle returning after everything that has happened, it can't be a coincidence. Have you and Kade talked about it because he seems oddly calm?"

　　"I talk and he denies. He’s with her right now." Her eyes widened and she shook her head and scoffed.

　　"That jackass,"

　　I burrowed into her side and we played the movie.

　　"You’re not gonna do something dumb, are you?" She asked me and I heard the worry in her voice.

　　"I haven't decided yet."
