Layla's Story

Ch7 The awkward encounter

He sat there with a confused look for about a minute.
"Now I need to change before class". He let go of my hand and got in the passenger seat.
"I'm so sorry.  I did not mean to make you trip".  I got into my truck and started it.
"You don't have to apologize". He looked surprised and sad. I looked at him.  He looked at me and I looked away. He was going to say something but I stopped him.
"No, I said you don't have to apologize. Its my fault. I should have paid attention to where I was going and --". He stopped me.
"layla , it was not your fault.  I should have gave you space after I kissed you. I should have not kissed you any way with out your permission.  I'm sorry".  He looked like he was going to cry.
"Chris,  don't worry about it ok.  I just got spooked and your right you have asked me before you kissed me but it was not your fault it was mine".  He grabbed my hand and I turned into my drive way. Moms car was gone so I knew she was at work.
"Get out.  Let's go".  He looked at me like I was stupid.
"Layla,  isn't your mom home". I looked at him with confusion.
"Chris my mom is at work.  Now get out and let's go". He looked at my house and saw a nice house.
"Oh I can't go in there".  I closed the door and walked to his side.
"Please get out.  You'll be ok".  He got out and followed me towards the house. I unlocked the door and opened the door.  I held the door open for him and he looked at me.
"Chris come on please". He walked in the house and followed me to the living room. I told him he could sit down here or he could sit on my bed while I changed In my bathroom.  I started toward my room and Chris followed me. I did not mind,  I mean I had told him he could. He sat on my bed and I went to my closet. I started picking my shirt and Chris was trying to say something to me.
"Layla are you mad at me"? I went over to my dresser and picked out some blue jeans.
"No I'm not mad it was a accident.  You did not do it. I'm not mad". He looked sad.  I walked into my bathroom.  I must have forgot he was there. I walked out of my bathroom.  I had picked the wrong shirt.  I walked out of the bathroom in my bra.  When I looked over I saw him sitting there.
"Oh shit. I forgot you were here". He chuckled. I covers my self with my shirt and got  my violet puffed sleeved crop top and ran back in the bathroom. I closed the door and changed my shirt. When I came out he was laughing. Was he laughing at me? I put my other shirt in my basket.
"Are you laughing at me"?  He stopped and looked at me.
"No, you look good". I groaned and walked out of the room. I walked into the laundry room and put my old clothes (including the one Michelle's friends poured water on) into the washer and started it. I needed something to eat so i walked into the kitchen. Chris was in the living room sitting on the couch. I opened the freezer and pulled out 2 hot pockets.  I asked Chris if he wanted one.
"I'm fine thanks tho".  I grabbed a plate and put them in the microwave.  I sat down next to Chris.
"I'm sorry that I got you in this mess". He put  his hand on my cheek.  The microwave had beeped so I got up and opened it.  I got them out and put them in a tubberware. Chris walked over to me and grabbed my hand. The front door opened.  I did not know who it was.  I told Chris to go to my room and shut the door quietly.  He walked away. I went to the door and it was my dad.
"Hey sweety. What are you doing home"?  He looked at me and smiled.
"Oh some kids at school spilt water and food all over my shirt". He looked at my outfit.
"Oh ok. I thought you were trying to skip school. Ok I'm just getting my hard hat. I forgot it here". I grabbed his hat and gave it to him.
"Here you go dad. Love you". He hugged me and walked out the door. I waited for I'm to leave. I grabbed Chris and we got into my truck.
