The Contract Serious Issues
LaylaIt wasn't long before I fell asleep. I wanted only to be here for a few minutes so Daniel could fall asleep, and then I'd leave. Yet I ended up falling asleep.I must have woken up around nine in the morning to my phone going off. I was still drained, and my feet ached from carrying that man into his home. I looked over and saw I was lying on the bed all alone. I got up, reached for my phone, and saw my sister on the line. "Hello?" I answered with my voice still a bit groggy."Hey, sleepy head!" I groaned at her morning enthus. She was always so perky in the morning. "Karly...good morning.""You slept over Danny's!" I rubbed my eyes and yawned, causing her to laugh."Yeah, so?" "Tell me what happened? Did you guys hook up?" she says, whispering the last part."Who hooked up with who?" I hear dad and Shawn yell in the back."No one!" she yells after them. "No one hooked up, Karly. The man was gone entirely, and by the time I got him into bed, all I wanted was to rest for just
The Contract Gossip
Layla When we are both ready to leave, his phone goes off and he tells me to wait as he leaves the room to answer his phone. At the same time, my phone rings and I see mom's number on the ID. "Hi, mom.""Hi, baby. Listen, Daniel, and your dad will be tied up at work today. Would you mind coming home instead? Your sister is on her way to get you, ok baby?" She sounded worried, but I didn't want to add to her distress. "Ok, I'll see you at home. Bye, mom." I responded before hanging up. He comes back into the room, and I can't help but see worriedness written all over his face. "Is everything ok, Daniel?" I say, making him turn as he goes through a briefcase, going through a bunch of papers."Uhh, yeah. Everything's fine. Listen... Change of plans." he says, scratching the top of his head. "I'm going to drop you off at home. I have an urgent meeting with your dad, so-" I nod, grabbing my purse and placing it on my shoulder. "It's ok. Karla is on her way; mom just called right now t
The Contract We're Heading For Disaster
LaylaIt's Friday morning, the day before Karla's Birthday. Dad has been off lately, and whenever I ask him what's wrong, he changes the subject. I feel awful for him, and I wish I knew what was happening, but no one will tell me.But even if I knew, I don't think there's anything I can do. I'm leaving in a few days. I already talked to Doctor Shelley, and though I don't want to see Trevor, I need to return. I'm not sure how I'll be able to manage, though. All I want is for my life to go back to normal. I want to get over Trevor, forget about Danny, and get my best friend back.Y sister and I are headed to dad's office. She got called in to pick up her dress for tomorrow and chose one for me. I'm not fond of it, but I guess if it's a fancy masquerade, I should at least look the part. We parked the car and went to see the dress from dad's stylist. Hugo has worked with dad since the company began; he's so good. I love his designs.The dress was stunning. It was a sleeveless mermaid cu
The Contract Masquerade Ball
Layla"I need to talk to her. I need to make things better with her." I told dad as I got up from my chair. He smiled, getting up and hugging me. "Baby, I want you to know that I am VERY proud of you. Of your accomplishments and everything that you have become. You are a wonderful woman. And again, you don't have to stay and help. This is our battle, my battle." Dad was reluctant to make me leave, but I had already made up my mind. Besides, I wasn't sure I was ready to go again. These past few days, I have learned so much, and I realized that I've missed out on so much. I miss being part of the family; I missed spending time with my sister. I miss waking up in the mornings at home to my dad's off-key singing.I even miss riding along with mom and her goofy friends and spending time listening to their wild stories. And I hate to admit it, but I missed Daniel. I missed seeing him; I miss hanging out with him, our late-night escapes to the beach, Friday night movies, and his spontaneo
The Contract What Happens In Vegas, Not Always Stays In Vegas!
LaylaAlmost every year since my sister turned 21, she has made a trip to Las Vegas for her birthday. Last year she and her friends stayed at the JW Marriot Resort. It’s a beautiful luxurious but pricy hotel. But, she was upset that I had not come for her birthday. We had a lot of sick patients, and we were understaffed because some of our members had also fallen ill. I felt horrible. But this year, I’m bound to make sure she has a good time. From what she tells me, we will stay at the Nobu Hotel at the Caesar Palace. It’s a beautiful hotel, very luxurious and it has one of the best views of the whole city. We got up early this morning, though most of them were pretty hung over. God, I’m so glad I didn’t drink last night because they look like hell.I made my small luggage quickly and made my way down. Everyone was pretty much already here, including some of my sister’s friends who were going with us. I knew the guys and the girl. They were all models that worked for dad and Danie
The Contract Wasted
LaylaThe night only continued to get better. We danced, talked and laughed the whole night. The guy with the button-up shirt sent me a few more drinks, which only made Daniel angrier. He kept an eye on me, and though he tried to shrug Ingrid off, she followed him around like a lost puppy, which, yes, bothered me too.It shouldn't bother me, though. Right? We are just friends, and there is nothing between us, and there never will.So why am I bothered?I was getting extremely thirsty, and through all the dancing, drinking, and laughing, I noticed a phone was ringing. I grabbed it off the table and went to the restroom, answering the phone without looking. “Hello?” I said, placing my other hand on my other ear to listen better. “Layla? Figures. I've been calling you nonstop. Meanwhile, you're out there partying and going out with some other guy already, aren't you?” my heart dropped at the sound of Trevor’s voice.He was the last person I expected to talk to, “Trevor. What the hell d
The Contract Consensual Pleasure
LaylaI woke up feeling completely drained. My head was spinning, and I was extremely thirsty. The light from the sun only made my headache worsen as I lay naked on the bed. I know... I know. I said I would never let anything happen between Daniel and me, I know. But God, can that man move in bed. And I just knew I would regret what I was going to say to him. I let the circumstances get the best of me, giving in to temptation. But honestly... For the first time, I didn't feel any regret for my actions. Last night just... Felt right.I turn as I feel him stir. His hand wraps around my waist, pulling me closer to him. "Good morning, beautiful," he says in a groggy voice, eyes still closed, beard still clean cut, and hair a mess, but still sexy.I can't help but smile as I snuggle closer and slide my hands over his chest, feeling it rise and fall from his steady breathing. "Good morning." "Layla, about last night. I know we were both drunk. But I want you to know I don't regret anyth
The Contract Giving In To Temptation
LaylaI'm not sure what time it was, but I finally got woken up by my sister, who came in to get me. I lay on my stomach with my hands tucked under my pillow. The extra hours of sleep I got really helped, after Daniel and I had an intense night, but it still didn't make my entire headache go away."Layla!" I could hear her whisper as I began to wake up. I grunted as I felt my head throbbing. "What time is it?" I asked, squinting my eyes. "Good morning, sleepy head," she giggled as I covered my naked body with the sheets as I turned to look at her. Daniel was no longer next to me, and I was glad Karla didn't see us lying naked together in bed."So... What happened last night, huh?" She wiggles her eyebrows, looking at me with a mischievous grin. I grunted, grabbing my head as if that would make the headache disappear. "Karly... Not now. Where's -""Danny? Mm-hm. He'll be back. He's out getting breakfast for everyone along with Shawn and Nico; they should be back soon. Don't worry, t
