Unexpected Love

Chapter 25

Layla POV

I hummed to the song that played in the supermarket. Walking done the asile. I've decided to go grocery shopping for Raye while she's gone...plus I'm staying there for now so it's only right I guess. Speaking of Raye I miss her a lot, she only left this morning but it worries me that she didn't tell me what exactly she was doing in New York.

Maybe I'm a little anxious because I'm from New York and have really bad memories of when I was living there. I shrugged off my thoughts and continued to look around the asile. Reaching for a box of rice I felt someone besides me.

Picking up a box of rice I threw it in the cart and continued to walk down the asile. Sage started to move around as she was strapped to my chest, I moved to the side to check on her. "Where's her other mom I miss her" I turned to the voice seeing Samorah stand there.

This bitch lucky I got my child.

"Get the fuck out my face" I said strapping Sage back up and walking away. I heard her little footsteps behind me but I chose to ignore her and continuing about my day.  It's been a couple of minutes now and she's still behind me acting as if she's looking for stuff in the same asile as me.

Having enough of her I stopped walking and turned around "listen I don't know what type of game you're playing but I need you to understand I'm with my child...don't fuck with me" I spoke lowly walking closer to her with each word I said. She stood there as her smirk slowly faded off her face.

"Bitch" I muttered walking away to go check out my stuff. I don't know what Raye seen in her but damn she's crazy. Walking out of the supermarket I saw a man in a hat standing two cars away from mine. I continued to walk but I felt his eyes on me the whole time, watching each step I took. I hurried up my paste walking to my car.

I began to start my car speeding out of the parking lot.

Raye POV

We finally arrived to New York and I texted Layla letting her know I was here. She been texting me the whole time checking up on  me and letting me know what she was doing.

"I finally have a set location" Marcus spoke. I looked up from my phone walking over to him at the kitchen counter. We went to my safe house here in New York only because we didn't know how long were staying.  "Where?".

He showed me his laptop. Seeing that's it's only thirty minutes away from us"when I searched it up it shows me this house" he turned the laptop back to him " I guess that's where he staying or lives" Elliott came besides up standing on the other side of Marcus. "Alright well...gather everyone together and let's go" The two men nodded there heads and I walked away going upstairs. 

"Hey baby" I said over the phone. Layla began to blush at the pet name, playfully rolling her eyes "when are you coming back we miss you" she showed a sleeping Sage on my side of the bed. "I miss y'all too, I'll be back soon" Layla fake pouted "okay well hurry back" We talked for a while until she had to hang up because Sage started to whine. She kissed her phone and of course I did it back ending the phone call.

I left my room and walked downstairs into the living room seeing everyone getting ready. "Okay I want some people to stay here and the rest to come with me".  Me, Marcus and Elliott rode together with the people I picked out drove behind us.  It was a very silent drive and I'm glad it was.

I haven't seen him since I was a little kid, but the plan is to just take him back with us a question him as to why he's been taking stuff from me and who's the person he's giving it too.

Arriving in front of this house, it looked like it was in the middle of nowhere. The only thing around us were trees and birds. I exited the car first checking my waist to see if my gun was there. "I'll stay out here with the rest" Elliott said leaning on the car. Nodding my head in acknowledgment I went around the car, staring at the house "I'm coming with you" Marcus walked up next to me checking his gun. "Make sure everyone is alert and ready I looked at Elliott before walking away.

Layla POV

I was laying down on the head watching a movie until I heard glass breaking downstairs. Pausing the movie I listened for anymore noise but I didn't hear any. I got up slowly, reaching into Rayes draw and grabbing her gun and placing it in the waist band of my pants. She told me it was here incase of emergency. I've never shot a gun before but I surely will tonight if I have to. I looked towards Sage crib walking over to it quickly. I moved it into the closet, placing a kiss on her forehead before locking the closet.

I heard more glass breaking making me gasp at the sound. My heart felt as if it was going to beat out of my chest. I began to call Raye but she didn't pick up, trying her two more times but I got the same results. I texted her quickly before leaving the bedroom. I crept down the starts, trying to be as quiet as possible.

I shook with fear when I saw a figure moving in the kitchen "I know she's here" I heard a deep voice speak. On the last step I tried to move behind the wall but I knocked over the plant that was there. I gasped covering my mouth. "What the fuck was that" the man said his footsteps got closer. I took a hold of the gun cocking it and slowly raising it.

"If you just come on out I won't hurt you" the man said with a country accent. "She's not here to protect you so it seems as if you have no choice Layla"

How the fuck does he know my name

I saw his shadow coming around the corner. I moving from behind the wall I hit him with the gun, watching as he stumbled back. "Shit" he groaned out grabbing ahold of his head. I was about to shoot him but before I could I felt someone grab me from behind causing me to drop the gun. "Bitch" he yelled punching me in my face.

I realized that the same man from the supermarket who was watching me. He kind of looked like someone but I couldn't figure out who.

"Ain't you a cute one" he got closer to my face and I struggled to get out of the other mans hold. "Don't try and fight it baby" he spoke closer to my neck. I smelt the alcohol and felt the heat from his mouth. I wrinkled my nose in disgust at the smell of his breath.

I continued to try and get out of the other mans hold but the more I tired the more he held me tighter. I head butted him, making him yell out in pain. 

He walked up to me grabbing my face squeezing it hard. "I'm gonna have a lot of fun with you" he laughed mushing my face. "Fuck you!" I spat out, spitting on his face. His face turned staring making me more scared then I already am. He wiped it off of his face slowly before punching me again.

All I could think of was Sage hoping that she's safe.
