Layla is jealous..

  " What is going on over there". She asked herself and went a little forward only to see Dela and Lily together.

  " Dela!". She almost exclaimed.

" And what is that bitch doing with him". She groaned in anger and went out of the restaurant without taken her orders. Immediately Lily saw that, she pretended to be feeling uncomfortable.

  " Dela I'm not feeling comfortable getting notice by people..can we just leave this place!". She asked.

  " Okay let go". Dela stood up and Lily held his hands and that blew everyones mind.

  " Oh my god...is she Dela's crush?".

"Oh.. really...has Dela gotten a girlfriend?".

People begin asking curious questions which annoyed Dela. He quickly took his hand from Lily hold and walked ahead while Lily walked behind as a good girl.

  "I'm sorry Dela.. I didn't mean to get you notice". Lily apologized when they entered the car.

"Is nothing". He said.

  "Then can we go for the shopping now?". Lily asked.

  " Mmm... okay.. okay". He said. He was getting bored but couldn't do anything.

  " Yes!". Lily said.

" Hey.. where is the food?". Lisa asked and went forward to her.

  Layla's face was drowned down.

" Well I couldn't get what I want...so I didn't buy anything".

  "What!!..so was that the only food you want?".

Layla looked away and took her phone from her pocket and begin to play game.

   "Hey..I'm talking to you". Lisa tapped her.

"Lisa.. please I'm okay". Layla said.

Just then Lily appeared with Dela.

   "Here we are!". Lily said gathering the attention of Lisa and Layla.

Layla didn't even look at who it was before she got up.

  "Hello... costumers..". Just then she realized Dela.  Dela's face was facing somewhere so he didn't notice Layla watching him.

  Layla left the shop and quickly went to the office which was just at the corner.

  Lily smirked when she saw that, she pretended to have seen a dress she likes so she call on to Dela whose mind wasn't even at what was going on.

  "Oh..mine...this dress is gorgeous...Dela take a look at that dress, will it suit me?". Lily asked.

  "Mm...is quite too transparent...wow how about that one". Dela pointed at a whole peach dress with strawberries design.

  "Wow..Dela you are the best...I think you truly me well..why won't you...for we are meant to be together". Lily said and giggled happily thinking that she had already won the battle.

  Lisa looked at her from head to toe and laughed..then walked closer to her and took the dress off her hands.

  "I'm sorry Miss...this dress had been sold out already". Lisa lied.

   She had known why Layla refused to bought the food. "It must be because of this girl here that was why Layla didn't buy anything". She has thought earlier.

  "What!..but that is what I want".

Lily said.

  "Please Miss in other not to create confusions that was why I told you earlier that it had already been sold out... don't you still get it". Lisa was getting angry now. It was because of her that her friend had decided not to eat.

  "Hey watch how you talk to me!". Lily backed up.

"Hey..hey girls is okay...to cut everything short..I will give you double the amount of how the person bought the dress". Dela said and Layla who was hiding in the office listening to them, her heart begin to beat faster.

  "Wait...what ..he is even defending her by giving double amount of the dress..oh no ...I'm doomed!...I think I should quit...I think I should give up.. cause I can't love someone who doesn't even know my existence...". Layla thought.

  "No..I won't give up soo easily...I must win his heart...he must be mine by all means...but right now... look at what is going on between him and that rat". Layla said and tears started running down her cheeks.

  "Please we don't do that here...I don't open my shop because of show off...or to take money anyhow please... someone has already bought it and that is all I don't need and double money of it...with all due respect please kindly leave my shop". Lisa said and went away leaving them dumbfounded.

  "Hey..you ... don't you know who you are talking to like that ..you brait...I will make sure no one buys in you shop again;". Lily said almost shouting.

  "Is okay...Lily ..why all this... just keep quiet and let go". Dela said and grabbed her hands then went away with her.

  "Okay sit down...". Dela said as he made lily sat down on the front seat and fasten her seat belt for her.

  "I can't possibly allow you to drive in this your status". Dela said and took the driver seat and also fasten his belt and drove off. Lily smiled to herself as a sign of her victory.

  "Hmm...I think for this one, Layla won't even try of getting closer to Dela anywhere". Lily thought.

  ***

"Babe... come out please I have sack them out..are you going to lock yourself up all the time because of that rat who just left my shop?...chill babe chill.. don't mind them". Lisa was trying to get her back on track but she was quite and did not said anything.

  " Layla.". Lisa called again and then she showed up.

  " Aww.. just look at how adorable you are, who won't like you.. come over for a hug". Lisa said and embrace her.

  " Lisa..I'm I a loser from trying to give up soo soon?". Layla asked forgotten that Lisa doesn't know about her effort of getting Dela's love and attention.

  " Giving up on...who...or what?". She asked

" Oh...mmm...well I was actually thinking of something... don't worry I'm okay". She lied and sat down in the couch with her face still drowned.

"Hmm... look at you, and you are telling me you are fine... how can someone who is fine still be wearing a drowned face". Lisa said and sat down beside her.

"Layla...he isn't the only man on earth...why can't you just forget about him and move on". Lisa said.

"Lisa... please let not talk about this again...I said I'm fine.. don't worry okay...now let go and get something nice for ourselves". Layla said and made a happy face.

"Awww...that is my babe..let go". Lisa said and took her bag then they went away.

" So..tell me where were you when Hosea came in?". Jonie asked when Dela entered.

" Oh.. please please... don't bring that I'm truly tried ". He said and drunk a whole bottle of water.

" Why... where did you went to". Jonie asked.

" Well I escorted Lily on shopping". He said and sat down.
