Layla Loxley

What the fuck was that? I blink several times as he walks away and I just sit there stunned. Where the hell did all of that even come from? After a moment, I grab my purse, and push up from the table, and book it out of the restaurant. 

I walk around the hotel, into the connecting building and the little boutiques and ski shops. I walk around not even really looking anything, just replaying what the hell just happened in head. Why the hell did he have to say that shit? Now it was going to be weird. 

Who even knew Bryce was capable of giving a woman a compliment that didn't include mentioning her ass or breasts? Not me, that was for sure.  There was no way I could go back to our room tonight, absolutely no way.  knowing that underneath the crude sexual jokes, he just wanted my attention, wanted to piss me off so he could see my face a certain way? I had his favorite face? Was he just messing with me? He had to be. This was Bryce Donovan. He was the heart throb in middle school and high school and Im sure he was in college too. He could get anyone, he pulled girls who looked like super models. As much as I teased him about being delusional, women fell to his feet, flocked to him like bees to honey, moths to flames. 

"You left without eating." his voice stops me as I run my fingers over a cocktail dress on one of the racks in the small boutique. 

He reaches around me and holds a styrofoam box in his hand. 

"Thanks." I say without turning around and take the box from his hands and then walk around the small rack to the next. 

I can feel him follow me. 

"you okay sugar tits?" he asks. 

I bite my lips together and feel a small bit of relief for him trying to play it off like he didnt just confess his love for my face. 

"I'm sorry for saying all that shit back there. I just...I would never be cruel enough to tell a girl she was pretty just for the sake of making her uncomfortable...and when you didnt think I thought you were...it made me feel bad...and I just...needed you to know that I wasn't joking around. But I promise, from now on, it's just gonna be me, sexually harassing you and saying things that only teenage boys who have never even seen a girl naked would say." he says and I laugh slightly and then turn and look up at him. 

"Promise?" I ask and he smiles and nods. 

"yup." he says and lifts a hand to my head and messies my hair. 

"come on , bring your little peach shaped ass to the lodge, and eat your sandwich with me and tell me what a fucking tool I am." I say. 

"Okay." I say. 

"no Loxley, if Im gonna bring back the talk of your hot body, I need those eye rolls back too." he says and I laugh. 

I huff and roll my eyes. 

He smiles. "There she is." 

-----

After eating in the lodge in the main room on one of the couches near the fire, I watch a few of the girls in ski outfits come in from outside, and they look over at him.

He notices but ignores them and looks to me and smiles.

"Think I can get those ski bunnies to let me feel up their slopes?" he asks and I roll my eyes. 

We've been sitting there for about ten to fifteen minutes after eating playing the game of making up stories for strangers. 

"Probably. The one looks like she's seconds away from foaming at the mouth." I say. 

"Do you think it's rabies?" he asks as he cocks his head looking at the girl who gives him a wink and little wave.

I give a little laugh. "Most likely." I say. 

The girl is pretty, and her cheeks are all cute and rosy from the cold, her nose a light red and her long blonde hair is in a braid down her back as she pulls off her ski jacket. 

Her long sleeve hot pink t shirt clings to her massive rack. Fake. 

So judgy Layla. I shake my head. I didn't judge other females for modifying their bodies, just this one, because she was looking at Bryce like I wasn't even sitting next to him. 

I watch her walk over with her friend. 

"I'm Jackie...this is Nikki" she says. 

"This is Layla" he says gesturing to me, because the girls don't even acknowledge me. 

"I'm Bryce." he says. 

"Oh , I love that name." Nikki says. 

"Me too" Jackie smiles and I feel like I might actually puke. 

"So are you two together?" Nikki says. 

I shake my head as Bryce looks to me. 

"Yeah, no." he says. "This is my sister." he says. 

"Oh, good" Nikki says with a giggle. 

"Mm" Bryce says and just leans back into the couch and throws his arm around the couch behind me. 

"So, are you, busy tonight?" Jackie asks with a little lick of her lips. The girl was shameless. Can't blame her either. When I saw something I wanted, I went for it too. 

"Yeah." Bryce says and the girls wait for an excuse that he doesnt give them.

"Aww" Nikki says. "We were kind of hoping you could join us later."  she says with a little wink. 

"For what?" he asks and lifts his leg, putting his ankle over his knee.

"for some fun." Jackie purrs.

"I'm hanging out with my sister tonight." he says and I watch the girls look at me and then give slight smiles and look back at him. 

"Alright, well surely not ALL night" they say. 

"Oh no, it will be all night." he says. 

They look at him slightly confused. 

"Well when you're done?" Nikki asks. 

"We usually go till dawn." he says to them. 

their brows draw together and their heads tilt in unison, it's pretty comical. 

"Um, do you mind if we ask, what exactly you're doing till dawn?" Jackie asks, needing an excuse for this rejection he's giving her. 

"Fucking." Bryce says and the girls eyes go as wide as mine. 

"you sister?" nikki looks at him and me and cringes. 

"yep." Bryce says. 

"Paw and Maw sent us up here on a get away, they're trying to get me to break her habit of fucking the family dog..a big ole german shepard." he says and I choke on a hard gasp  and then burst into a fit of laughter and the girls both give him disgusted looks. 

Without another word they turn and leave , giving up their attempt. 

I sink into the couch, holding my stomach and laughing so hard I could pee. 

"What's so funny dog fucker?" he asks and I slap him with the back of my hand with tears in my eyes. 

"ow it hurts" I cry as I laugh , holding my stomach, the muscles cramping  from laughing too hard. 

"don't hurt yourself sis" he says and I can't stop laughing as he chuckles beside me. 

"I think I scared em off. Darn." he says and I take a deep breath trying to control my laughter and tears, and swipe them from my cheeks. 

"You little comment earlier inspired the dog bit." he says and I nod as I control my laughter. 

"Yeah, that's why i'm laughing." I say and he smiles, and I giggle slightly as my laughter slowly dies down.  I turn my head to say something, but I come up short when I see the way he's looking at me. 

"You have my favorite face" I hear him say in my head from earlier. 

A small smile is on his face as his eyes look at my smile and my breath hitches. My mouth closes and he stares at my mouth, then up at my eyes. Has he always looked at me like this? And I just never noticed? My skin pricks with goosebumps, and my nipples prick with the feeling his eyes give me when they're on me like this. 

"What are you crazy kids up to?" I hear my sisters voice and I jerk up from the couch , sitting up straight and look over my shoulder, and up seeing her and Carl behind us. 

"Did you guys ever own a German Shepard?" Bryce asks Jessica.

The moment is gone and replaced by more of my laughter when I swat him and stand up and see Jessica looking at Bryce. 

"Uhh, no?" she says. 

Bryce just smiles. "Just wondering." 

"Knock it off" I say and kick his leg on the side slightly as he still sits. 

"Do I even want to know?" Jess asks. 

"No you don't." I say and she raises her brows and Carl is just looking at his brother with a questioning look, and they must do some brother telepathy because Carl just smiles and nods once and then kisses Jessica on her neck below the ear and whispers something. 

"But i thought you-" she starts and then I see her smile and bite her lip and turn to look at him and he nods. 

"Okay , yeah, um, we'll see you guys later" She says and grabs Carl's hand and Carl looks back at his brother with another nod. 

"What was that?" I ask. 

"Uhhhh I think my brother is about to pork your sister." he says. 

"Ew. Don't say pork." I say and he laughs. 

"And I dont mean that...i mean that weird brother glance exchange , like you spoke without talking." I say and he just smiles and shrugs. 

"I dunno what you mean." he says and I roll my eyes. 

"Fine then." I say and he just sits back still looking at me. 

"Wanna go on the sleigh ride?" he asks. 

I cock my brow.

"Cmon, sweetie pie." he says. 

I laugh. "Whatever. fine. But I want dessert after." I say. 

"Oh honey, you'll get plenty" he winks and gives me a little air smooch. 

I roll my eyes. 

"I'm going to let them run you over with the sleigh."
