💬 Lips of Fate
Chapter 1 – The Ride After the Robbery
Layla🫦Main girl with the kiss
My phone is gone.
Money, ID… everything.
They snatched my bestie's bag, and my whole life was inside.
Bestie 🤷🏽♀️ Support & fun friend
I’m still shaking, Layla.
Bestie 🤷🏽♀️ Support & fun friend
They came so fast.
Bestie 🤷🏽♀️ Support & fun friend
I didn’t even see their faces…
Layla🫦Main girl with the kiss
I didn’t cry.
Why didn’t I cry?
Bestie 🤷🏽♀️ Support & fun friend
You’re in shock.
That’s normal.
Layla🫦Main girl with the kiss
But it doesn’t feel like shock.
Layla🫦Main girl with the kiss
It feels like... calm.
Layla🫦Main girl with the kiss
Like I was meant to lose it.
(Later that evening — trying to get home)
Layla🫦Main girl with the kiss
We have no money.
No phone.
How are we even getting home?
🕶️ UNKNOWN MAN:
Excuse me…
Are you both okay?
Layla🫦Main girl with the kiss
…Yes?
🕶️ UNKNOWN MAN:
Here. Let me help.
I’ll pay for your ride.
Layla🫦Main girl with the kiss
...
Bestie 🤷🏽♀️ Support & fun friend
Okay, thank you.
(In the taxi — Layla sitting beside the man)
Bestie 🤷🏽♀️ Support & fun friend
(texting quietly):
He’s kinda handsome 😅
But he’s so quiet.
Layla🫦Main girl with the kiss
How so...
Layla🫦Main girl with the kiss
He hasn’t looked at me once.
Layla🫦Main girl with the kiss
Wait—
Layla🫦Main girl with the kiss
He just did.
Layla [thinking]:
He looked at my lips.
Not fast. Not rude.
Like he was reading a poem written on them.
🕶️ UNKNOWN MAN:
Are you okay?
Layla🫦Main girl with the kiss
Yes… thank you for helping us.
What’s your name?
🕶️ UNKNOWN MAN:
You don’t need to know that.
Layla🫦Main girl with the kiss
Then… why did you help?
🕶️ UNKNOWN MAN:
You looked like someone who needed it.
And someone I might see again.
Layla🫦Main girl with the kiss
Layla [thinking]:
He didn’t ask for my number.
Didn’t even smile.
But something tells me…
That won’t be the last time I see him.
🖤 To Be Continued…
> Next Chapter: “The Artist Who Knew My Lips”
A boy at school shows Layla a sketch… of her face.
But how could he have drawn her before they ever met?
