"Well Jenna, as I can see you've been keeping this to yourself for a very long time," I said while looking at my client

"Well Jenna, as I can see you've been keeping this to yourself for a very long time," I said while looking at my client. "Have you told anyone this except me?" I brought my hands together waiting for her response.
"Well no but-" Jenna was interrupted by a ringing from my phone. I looked at my phone to see who was ringing me 'Vanessa'

Gosh, this girl... "I'm sorry Jenna you can carry on," I said while declining the phone and bringing my attention back onto my client "I've not but-" she was now interrupted by a vibration coming from my phone and messages coming from Vanessa

"I truly do apologise Jenna, but this does seem important, can we rap up and keep that thought of yours until our next session" I said while answering the phone not making Jenna reply

"Hello" I answered the phone while mouthing a sorry to Jenna as she made her way to the door "Vanessa what's the problem, you know I was in the middle of a session with one of my-"

"Laylas at the airport right now to Chicago" Vanessa blurted out not making me finish my sentence
I laughed, she was joking "What are you on right now Vanessa?" I joked

"Bro James I'm being dead ass she came to my apartment today saying that she's leaving the city, I even helped her pack you dumb shit" I paid all my attention to Vanessa's words making me sit up in my chair

I sighed "So what do you want me to do about that, she's a grown woman," I said trying to act like I didn't care. "Oh shut up James, I out of all people know that you have feelings for Layla, and don't you lie about that shit"

Please... James Loan does not have feelings for his clients it's impossible. That's not me.

"Get down to that airport now and at least talk to her before she leaves, maybe even stop her" I chucked at Vanessa "We all know I can't stop her," I said to Vanessa
"James that's not the point, go to her and tell her how you feel before is too late" There was silence for a moment

"If you don't go, you'll know by tomorrow you'll regret it, you can't live for the rest of your life as a 'what if' do something before it's too late" I'm not gonna lie, Vanessa was right

"Gosh," I said over the phone and picked up my car keys and out of my office to the elevator

I and Vanessa stayed on the phone for a while as I drove around the city leading myself into the motorway. We discussed what gate Layla will be at and what airport.

I knew for a fact if I didn't tell Layla how I felt today, I would regret it for the rest of my life...

It might not seem like it but I love Layla and she would have realised that if she read the letter I left for her in her hotel room in Greece, I'd loved her the first time I laid my eyes on her...

I love her so much that I would kill for her if it was needed I was going to kill her father for even laying hands on her. I love her so much that I'm not telling her what I do for work.
