dream. He has stalked her for ages but she
has a boyfriend and you wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of
him." Dylan looks annoyed and snaps, "You don't know what you're
talking about. Anyway I've got paperwork to do. You two can manage
between you for a couple of hours, it's the least you can do after
earlier." He walks away and I can tell that Drake hit a nerve.
"What's that all about?" I say as he slams the door behind him.
Drake grins. "Layla Sullivan is his high school crush. She is your
typical willowy blonde with curves in all the right places and a
face that men would kill for just to get a smile from it. The
trouble is she is already taken and so extremely off limits. He
can't get her out of his mind though and doesn't want anyone else."
I feel sorry to hear it and feel a great deal of sympathy for
Dylan. "How awful. Do you think that things may change and she will
leave her boyfriend?" Drake suddenly looks nervous and says, "You
don't leave him Scarlett, he has to leave you and given the fact
that there isn't anyone else in this town that could hold a candle
to her, present company aside, that is extremely unlikely to
happen." Jumping up he pulls me towards him. "Just to keep me going
for the next hour or so." He kisses me sweetly and soon all
thoughts of Dylan and Layla fly out of my mind.

Chapter Eight
     
    I watch Drake clear a space and set up his
guitar. I am looking forward to hearing him sing and realise that
there is so much that I don't know about him. Before long I see
Dylan's face light up and I turn to see who has caused it.
Instantly I realise that this must be Layla as a truly beautiful
young woman sashays into the bar. Drake was right she is pure
perfection and as much as I want to instantly dislike her there is
an aura that surrounds her that makes you instantly want to be her
friend. I watch with interest as Dylan approaches her smiling and
kisses her on the cheek. I hear him say, "Thanks Layla, you're a
godsend." She smiles at him and I can see how genuine she is as her
face is so open and natural. "No problem Dylan, anytime you know
that. Now where do you want me?" The look on Dylan's face is
priceless and as I catch Drake's eye we grin at each other and he
raises his eyes. I have to turn away before the laughter takes
hold. Dylan takes her into the back to give her a t shirt and stow
her belongings. When they return he brings her over to me.
"Scarlett meet Layla, she will be working with us tonight." I smile
at her and she looks at me with interest. "I'm pleased to meet you
Scarlett. Are you new in town because I don't think that we've met
before?" Nodding I say, "Sort of. I'm staying with my father for
the summer. I don't spend much time with him and usually live in
Rivercreek Falls." She smiles brightly. "Well that explains it
then. Bad luck on having to work your vacation though." Grinning I
look over to Drake and laugh. "Don't be, it has its advantages."
Following my gaze she laughs. "Lucky you, he's gorgeous and you
will be the envy of all the other girls in the town. They've been
trying to land him for ages. You must be really special." Sighing
heavily I say, "I know, I don't want the summer to end now." She
looks concerned. "Of course, you won't want to give that up when
you have to that much I do know. Well enjoy it whilst you can, oh
and don't pay any attention to his groupies tonight." I look at her
in surprise. "His groupies, who are they?" Dylan laughs. "You know
Scarlett; I told you he had a fan club. They wouldn't miss this for
the world." My face falls and Layla looks concerned. I shrug and
say, "As long as that doesn't include Morgan then I'm fine about
it." Layla looks confused and Dylan says, "Don't worry about it
Layla, I'll fill you in later."
    Dylan was right the place is soon packed out
and we don't have a minute to breathe. Hordes of young girls
descend on the place all with one target in mind. As well as the
regulars there are also lots of young guys hoping to take
