As the first rays of sunshine streamed through the window, Layla stirred in her bed. Her eyes flickered open, and for a moment, she lay there, still half-asleep, taking in her surroundings. It took a moment for her to remember where she was - in her bedroom at her apartment. She had arrived late last night, exhausted after a long day of travel.
As she stretched her arms and legs, she felt the stiffness in her muscles from the cramped flight. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she sat up and swung her feet over the side of the bed. She glanced at the clock on the nightstand and saw that it was already late morning. She had slept longer than she had intended, but the comfort of her bed was too much to resist.
As she stood up and stretched, Layla's mind began to clear. She remembered what she had to do today. She had to go visit her childhood friend, Once-ler.
Once-ler was a good friend towards Layla despite his somewhat awkward and controversial nature, but had a strong passion to succeed. His passion towards succession is not the only thing he's passionate about but he did have a stronger passion for Layla. He loved her more than anything else in the world, he just never had the balls to tell her and it ate him from the inside.
Layla slid into a nice pair of bell bottom jeans. Layla checked herself out in the mirror in just her bell bottoms and her bra, she felt good and confident. Ring...Ring...Ring... Layla's home phone rang. She ran into her living room topless and picked it up.
"Hello?" She said with a soft tone. "Layla! You have to get here quickly. You're never going to believe what I found." A male said on the other end. "Once-ler?" She asked. "Who else would it be baby?" He said. Layla laughed. "I'll be there soon," Layla said. "Get here now!" He rushed. "Honey I'm shirtless at the moment." She explained. "We'll put that shirt on and get here!" He said. "Okay!" She said before slamming the phone down and running back into her room.
She scrambled to put her colourful tank top before grabbing her satchel and throwing it over her shoulder.
