A bitter invitation

Alastor was on his way down the kitchen when he saw Layla waiting on him in the living room. Layla tilted her head around and saw Alastor’s troubled expression. It was understandable, whenever Layla was around him, trouble follows.

“I promised, I didn’t came here with problems.” Layla said.

Alastor exaggeratedly groan. He walked past behind her and went to grab a glass of water in the kitchen. Layla rose from her seat and joined Alastor, leaning her back against the wall.

“What do you want?” Alastor asked. He moved towards the fridge and grabbed several ingredients for his making his breakfast. “If you want to hire me as your errand boy, forget it.”

“Like I said, I didn’t bring any problems.” Layla said and walked behind Alastor. When he turned around, he stood straight in surprised. She was awfully too close. Alastor tried his best to hide his reaction. Layla was clearly teasing with him. “I came here because I offer a solution.”
