At 7 o clock in the morning both Bella's mom and Brock took some breakfast to Layla's home... They rang the bell but no one answered at first but on the second time the door opened there stood Layla with a messy bun on her head ... She was yawning while opening the door but suddenly closed her mouth when she saw Brock and a middle aged women...
"Please come in.. I'm sorry I just woke up.. sorry if you wait for a long time.. " she let them sit on the living room and went to the kitchen to get water ... And came back with 2 glass of water.. handed them to Brock and his Mom..
"Do you want a tea aunty ? And you sir ? " She asked them politely... Even though she was still sleepy..
" Call me Brock ... And no we already had... This is my and Bella's mom... " Bella's mom said hi to Layla..
"How's Bella ? " Mom asked Layla in a concerned voice...
" Yeah her fever went down alot ... Yeah come she was sleeping in bedroom there.. " Layla showed them the bedroom then
"Here.. there's a Breakfast for you .. have it.. before you go to work... You were sleepy now... Why don't you sleep for a bit.. It's too early ... " Bella's mom said while giving her the bag of food...
" No aunty... It's already time for me to get up so it's ok... "
" Why do you go so early dear ?"
" It's pretty far from my work place and there will be a traffic so I have to go early.. or else I might be late "
" Don't worry .. I'll drop you quickly so you can rest now " Brock responded immediately... And went inside the bedroom... Since there was only one room ... Layla slept in the living room sofa... Covering herself with a blanket...
" I think she just changed the forehead towel.. poor girl took care of our child the whole night... " Bella's mom felt bad for troubling Layla... There was nothing they could do... So they look around the house... It was neat and clean... So Mom and Brock decided to do some small work like washing the dishes in the kitchen... Washing clothes... As for Brock he sat on the single sofa and was looking at Layla... Who was sleeping... He never saw pretty, cute, chubby girl like her.. after an hour of sleep Layla woke up and while opening her eyes she saw a handsome man looking at her and smiling...
"You woke up ? " Brock asked.. almost like whispering..
"Yeah... How's Bella ? "
"I'm here... " She turned to see Bella ditting on the dining table together with her mom...
"You feeling good ? " She came towards her and checked her fore to see the temperature.. it was normal..
" Yup thanks to you.. " said Bella teasingly and kissed Layla hand.
"Layla come ... Have some breakfast" mom told Layla and she went to make the coffee.. and Layla went to her room to get ready.. after 30 minutes Layla came out with her office bag.. sat beside Bella..
Bella's mom reheated all the food and gave them to both Bella and Layla...
After taking 2-3 bites Layla eyes filled with tears... Brock who sat opposite and having his coffee saw her tearful eyes and grabbed some tissuee then give it to her..
"What's wrong ? Why are crying ? " Brock asked while giving tissues for which Both Bella and her Mom were worried..
"No nothing " ...
"Tell us what happened ? Are you feeling hurt somewhere ?" Bella asked again and again...
" I.. it's.. just... I ..I never had home cooked food ... It's the first time someone took care of me like this " she couldn't control her tears and cried a lot... Even Bella and her mom cried becouse of what she said...
Layla was grew up in an orphanage until 18 years old and she worked a lot by doing many part time jobs .. then she stayed in a college dorm and did many part time jobs and internship along with studying and finally with her saving she bought this small single bedroom apartment... She got a job and still she was alone untill she met Bella.... So she treated Bella genuinly like she is only family for her... Went shopping with her dined together... And had a lots of fun together ..
"Why don't you take a leave ? " Bella suggested Layla...
"No it's fine... "
". No it's not fine... Give a call to the higher up and inform them.. " Brock said immediately like he is lecturing...
Then Layla also asked for a leave...
" Wear a comfortable clothe... We will wait for you " mom said and then she cleaned the table and washed the dishes...
After a few minutes Layla came out wearing a beige frock ... She was looking very pretty... Brock was stood there looking at her which made Layla's cheeks red...
Bella saw this and thought there's a hope of fulfilling my dream... A dream to matchmake Layla and Brock...
Four of them went straight to Bella's house where grandpa and dad was already waiting for them...
They decided to have a family reunion along wíth Layla ... They treated Layla like their own family members for which she again started to cry.. then she shared how she has struggled in her life just to sleep under a fine roof. Grandpa has already liked Layla... And she helped Mom in the kitchen while Bella taking a rest in the bedroom...
It was a memorable moment for Layla... After a lunch.. grandpa went back to his house Brock went to drop him. Mom and Dad went to take rest since they couldn't sleep last night.. and Bella was also resting in her bedroom...
So Layla was leaned back in the sofa and cosed her eyes ... Few minutes later...
"Are you sleeping ? " She woke up in a shock by the whisper... It was Brock...
"No... Just sitting... "
"Okay.. why don't you take rest .. you might be tired... "
"It's ok... I'm not sleepy "
"Can I ask you something.. ?"
"Yeah sure... "
"Do you have boyfriend ? "
"Noh.. "she said laughingly..
"Can I get your number ?" She was confused by his questions...
"Yeah sure... Actually Im greatful to have your number " then both excanged the contacts....
Now Brock texted her theesseges..
Brock : "Why didn't you have a boyfriend ?"
Layla : becouse no one likes me
Brock : why ?
Layla : I don't know
Brock : what do you do if any guy prapose

Hear heart was beating like someone banging a big drum... She couldn't believe what she read... She turned her head to see Brock who was already looking at her in a worriying fave... He leaned closer to her covering inches by inches then ...
Both of their lips locked... A kiss ... A very passionate kiss ... Layla closed her eyes... Brock initiating a kiss and going deeper into her mouth ...
A sudden door shutting sound made them part from each other... Composed themselve sitting awkwardly...
