Chapter Seventeen

Layla

Jared and I spend the whole day together, and eventually we get to our homework.

Not to mention a fair bit more making out under the guise of ‘relaxing’.

My lips are tender and swollen when we head downstairs for dinner, and if Roxanne or the staff notice, they don’t say a word.

Once he heads home for the night, I take my time getting ready for bed, mooning happily around my rooms as I tidy up. Now that I have my own space, I can’t bear for it to be messy, and I know that if I don’t clean up the maids will, which needles me even more. I don’t want them to think I’ve become some kind of spoiled princess.

My phone pings, and when I check it, I’m delighted to see it’s another audio file from Landon. This one is a wistful song about unrequited love, and my heart squeezes at the plaintive note in his voice.

I reply immediately and send him back heaps of praise. Then I take a moment to send all three of my fated a different selfie, along with a quick note about the unique things I appreciate about each of them.

Jared’s words earlier got to me, and I’ve been chewing on them in the back of my mind ever since. He’s not the only one who keeps people at a distance, away from his true self. I know I’m guilty of the same, rarely letting people in.

So I plan to make a conscious effort to show more appreciation for the people around me. Starting with my fated.

A strange urge drives me to pull up a text to Derrek and send him a message as well, but I hesitate with what I should actually say. Obviously not the same things I sent to my fated, but then what?

I type out, then delete several messages, before finally settling on the simplest of all.

I’m glad you’re back in my life. I’ll see you tomorrow.

I get it sent off before a flood of messages pours in from my fated, praising my photos and thanking me for my messages, then replying with selfies and heartfelt sentiments of their own.

A warm, bubbly feeling takes up residence in my chest, and it jumps another notch when I receive a reply from Derrek.

There’s nowhere I’d rather be. Come see me at office hours tomorrow. I have something to tell you.
