Don’t hurt me I’m a virgin - S01 E40

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 40

💫SEMI- FINAL 💫

I enter the café again the next morning and Mitch takes his usual seat at the corner while I head for the changing room.

I find Julie there, grasping what looks like a newspaper. The fact that she doesn’t see me shows how heavily engrossed she is in the paper.

“Morning, Julie.” I greet her and she ba-rely lifts her head to acknowledge me.

“What’s that?” I ask as I change from my casual clothes to cafe uniform.

“Hmm?”

I frown and once I finish dressing, I move over to her to see what it is that has her so intrigued.

I see an image of Devon on the front page, with a caption saying, “Drug smuggler/dealer/Prostitution as-sociate gets jailed”. What’s more shocking is how there’s a lot of pictures on the front page of him doing all of the accused illegal activities in the caption. It’s those pictures alone that lead me to think that somehow he has been known by the police for a while.
Julie finishes re-ading the last chapter and then with a grave face, hands me the paper.

I begin re-ading.

Apparently, the cops have had tabs on him for a while, with an un-dercover questioning anyone who knew him. They all said the same thing. “Getting involved with Devon, is like offering your life on a plate to him”.

The un-dercover was able to take ph0tos of him doing all those illegal dealings and it was with those evidence that he was brou-ght to justice.

There’s a lot of unidentified people having word against him but most improtantly, “Savannah Samuels, 27, who recently been hospitalised due to “anxiety attack”, has managed to spill every tad bit of evidence against him.” Once I finish re-ading, I try to swallow the bile in my throat.

So that’s it then. I won’t be seeing either of them from now on. I think, with relief flooding my system.

I look over at Julie who’s pressing eyes haven’t left me since I began re-ading.

“Leyla plea-se, plea-se, tell me you weren’t involved with him?”
“What, no. No.” I tell her horrified at the thought.

“Then how exactly did you know them?” She asks.

I sigh as I sit myself next to her on the bench.

It’s about time I tell her. I mean it’s not like it’s gonna kill anyone. I considered Julie as one of my great friends. She deserved to know the truth.

It’s with that final thought that I begin to tell her everything. Starting with being at the lowest point of my life, to meeting Greta and having to deal with her demands. I also tell her how I met Sav along with Monica and Devon the same night I met Jeremy. I tell her why Sav was here yesterday trying to blackmail me, and then my suspicious of Devon being the one that coerced her into it.

I also tell her how despite all the bad things that have happened in my life Jeremy is the only one that has made me see that there is truly a silver lining behind every dark cloud.
When I finish, Julie looks at me with a new emotion. I see tears brimming in her eyes and she takes my hands and squee-zes them.

“Gosh and you say Hilly is strong.” She comments.
I snort but smile anyhow. “I’m not strong.” I protest.

“Oh Ley, you are. After all you’ve been throu-gh.” A lone tear escapes from her eye.

“Julie,” I wipe the tear which is now ma-king my own tears come. “Don’t cry for me. It’s all in the past.”

“I can’t help it. I wish I’d met you sooner, maybe I could have prevented some things.”
I shake my head and hvg her.
“Thank you. But I believe all that’s happened has been for a reason. I thank God everyday, for letting me meet Jeremy.”

She laughs and re-lease me from the hvg. “I thank him too. Jeremy better love you as much as you do.”
Worry pools my face.

“You have to tell him, Ley.” She squee-zes my hand. “You never know he might just say it first.”
I shake my head.

“Don’t be stubborn about it, in fact I have feeling he’s just as stubborn. If you both don’t get to it, you’ll leave me no choice but to intervene.”

I giggle, however doubt soon wipes my smile away. “Do you really think he might love me?”
She stares at me as if I’m out of my mind. “Leyla, what I saw two weeks ago, when he looked at you was pure adoration. He must love you to look at you like that.”

I shake my head, however, a small smile forms in my features at the possibility. I truly missed him, so much so that I feel like a p@rt of my limb is missing without him.

“I miss him.”
“I know.” She smiles knowingly.
“When will he be back?” She asks as she gets up the bench.
“I think today evening, I’m not sure but I can’t wait.”

“And you’ll tell him then?”
I take a de-ep breath. Yes when I see him tonight, I will tell him. I didn’t care anymore; I loved him so much to not wait telling him.

And so with that I nod in response at Julie.

Her face cracks into a heart splinting smile. Then she makes a squealing noise.
“When you’ve told him, call me, you have to tell me the details.” She grins.

I giggle again as I get up from the bench too.

While we make our way to the cafe, for that splitting moment, I have a glimpse of what I missed out, having a girlfriend to swoon over guys with.
