The next morning
7am
Layla woke up and remembered that she was going to see her father. She got up from bed and went to the bathroom to do her morning routine and to shower. After all that, she got dressed and sat on her bed to do her hair. She wore a red shirt, blue ripped jeans and white sneakers. She brushed her hair and put it up in a ponytail. By the time she was finished, it was 7:45. She put her phone and wallet in her small handbag and left it on her bed while she went to the kitchen. Jasmine was in the kitchen making breakfast. When she saw Layla, she gave her a hug.
Jasmine: Good morning Lia!
Layla: Morning Jas. How was your date?
Jasmine: It was great! We went to the arcade, then we watched a movie and ate dinner but by the time we were done it was pretty late, so I spent the night at his place. Before you give me a look, we didn't do anything!
Layla laughed.
Jasmine: How was dinner with my parents?
Layla: It was good.
Jasmine: That's all? Nothing happened?
Layla: Well I was invited to a formal event happening tonight.
Jasmine: Please tell me you accepted the invitation?
Layla: Yes I did, and Asher is going too. After seeing my dad, we're going to the mall together.
Jasmine: Yay!!
Layla: You're such a fangirl.
Jasmine: Yeah well my idiot of a brother happens to be the love of your life so I can't help it.
Layla: Asher isn't an idiot!
Jasmine: But he's blind! And so are you.
Layla rolled her eyes and got a glass of water.
Layla: Not all of us have your confidence Jas.
Jasmine: Confident or not, you should be able to tell if a guy likes you or not.
Layla: Okay Ms. Psychology-Expert.
Jasmine laughed.
Jasmine: Did you know that Jason like you?
Layla: What makes you think he likes me?
Jasmine: Lia, it's obvious.
Layla: Jason is just charming and flirty.
Jasmine: *sigh* You're hopeless.
Layla threw a dishcloth at Jasmine and they laughed.
Asher's POV
I had just woken up to the sound of laughter and the smell of pancakes. It sounded like Layla's laughter. I sleepily walked to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Afterwards I made my way to the kitchen. I stopped when I heard Jasmine fangirling.
Layla: You're such a fangirl.
Jasmine: Yeah well my idiot of a brother happens to be the love of your life so I can't help it.
Wait what?! Laylia is in love with me?! Am I still sleeping or did Jas actually say that?
Layla: Asher's not an idiot!
Jasmine: But he's blind! And so are you.
Layla: Not all of us have your confidence Jas.
Exactly!
Jasmine: Confident or not, you should be able to tell if a guy likes you or not.
It's not always that simple though. Sometimes you just want to be sure that their signals are correct.
Layla: Okay Ms. Psychology-Expert.
I laughed softly. Jasmine does act like an expert of psychology sometimes.
Jasmine: Did you know that Jason like you?
Oh yeah, Jason does have feelings for Layla and I don't blame him. She's so amazing in every way!
Layla: What makes you think he likes me?
Jasmine: Lia, it's obvious.
Layla: Jason is just charming and flirty.
Jasmine: *sigh* You're hopeless.
Layla threw a dishcloth at Jasmine and they laughed. I pretended to be sleepy and walked towards them.
Asher: Morning ladies!
