(497) Words

(Layla's POV)

I woke up and I felt amazing. I haven't slept in days and I feel so energized. I checked my phone to see I had a text from Frostee. I was about to read it when I noticed the clock. 11 AM! I had slept all morning! I rolled over to see the spot next to me was made and Toretto was gone. I got up and put on my leather jacket. I headed downstairs to see Toretto making food and my dad sitting at the counter talking to him. I was glad they were getting along so well. I just hope that my dad and I can get along like that.

Tony- Good morning sleepyhead!

Layla- Mornin'!

I walked up behind him and kissed him on the cheek. 

Layla- Whatcha making?

Tony- Chocolate chip pancakes.

I walked over to the counter and sat on one of the stools.

Layla- Ohh my favorite!

Dad- You sleep well?

Layla- Yea. I was so tired from not being able to sleep for days!

Dad- Well I'm glad you got some sleep, Peanut.

Layla- I can't believe you still call me that!

Dad- I called you that from the day you were born!

Layla- I'm not complaining. I'm just sayin! It's funny you never stopped.

Dad- Well do you want me to stop calling you that?

Layla- No! I like it.

Tony- Here you go!

He slid a plate with 2 chocolate chip pancakes over to me.

Layla- Don't forget the...

Tony- Orange juice.

He sat it in front of me and I grabbed it.

Layla- You know me so well, Toretto!

Tony- I better! I've known you for long enough!

Layla- Thank you for making breakfast. Well, Brunch.

Tony- Of course! 

Toretto's phone rang. He looked at it and walked into the other room.

Tony- I know. I know. I'm fine. Layla didn't feel good so we went home. Sorry I missed it. Yea. I'll be there later. Bye. Love you!

He hung up the phone and came back into the kitchen.

Layla- Who was that?

Tony- My mom. She was worried about us since we left the reunion early.

Layla- Well why don't we have like a little family gathering? At the garage. That way I feel like I'm at home and you can be with the rest of your family. But not everyone. 

Tony- Yea like my parents and Dom. We could have a barbecue. Cisco would be all in!

Layla- You call your parents and Dom. I got the crew.

Tony- Wait when are we doing this?

Layla- Tonight. 

I started texting and looked over at my dad. 

Layla- Your gonna come, right Dad?

Dad- As long as you want me to.

Layla- Okay. You can meet the rest of the crew. Plus Toretto's family.

Dad- Can I ask you something?

Layla- Yea, what is it?

Dad- Why do you call him Toretto?

Tony- Well that's my last name.

Layla- I've always called him that. Except for when he's in trouble. Then your Tony.

Tony- That feels weird when you call me Tony. 

Layla- It feels weird to even sayin it! And don't even get me started on when I call him Anthony!
