章 46: Being Lyla's keeper.

Lyla

I hummed softly to an unknown tone as I moved the vacuum cleaner around the carpet in the living room. It's been three months since I started dating Xander and the only thing I regretted was not meeting him earlier.

Xander was everything I could ever hope for in a man. My heat cycles which used to be dreadful were something I looked forward to every month because Xander made it easy.

Today, I and Nanny were spring cleaning and I was alternating between my chores and texting Xander.

My phone buzzed in my pocket again and I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face as I fished it out. Xander's name was flashed on the screen, accompanied by a message that made my heart flutter.

I set down the vacuum to reply him when Nanny's voice cut through my reverie. "Lyla! Are you on that phone again? We're not finished yet!"

I rolled my eyes but quickly tucked the device away. "Sorry, just checking the time."
