I paddled as fast as I could down khalids Street. I was a little bit scared when his mom called me and told me that he had been missing ever since yesterday. But I think I knew where he could be. So I parked my bike in front of his house and I helped myself inside. "Oh lay! You scared me, " said Mrs Burner, who had puffy eyes, I mean, she must be tired of taking care of 6 children and one that just ran away. "Hi Mrs B. I know where he is, and I'll go get him. Please stop worrying and go rest. " I ushered her to her room.
"Rest? Oh honey, I can't rest. I have 6 little monsters running around. Rest is the last thing I could probably worry about right now, " she said
"My sister will be here any minute. She agreed to babysit them for the night. So you can even go to the spa and get your feet rubbed or something and a little facial waxing. You need it, " I said, noticing the little mustache on her face.
"What really?" She asked, covering her mouth with her hand. "Well come on go get ready Mrs B," I said, pushing her in her room and closing the door behind her, I knew where khalid was hiding. He used to hide there ever since he was 8, but only when he's stressed out or needs to think I wonder what went up his leg this time?
I was kind of excited to see him. Since I went to Seattle for the summer so we only used to make video calls sometimes. I really missed my best friend. I went upstairs and went inside of the basement, pulled the secret door leading to the roof, and went up.
When we were small we wanted a secret place where it was just us kids and no adults, a place where we could be our selves and nobody could tell us what to do so we thought of one place where no adult will ever suspect us to be " the roof".I know it sound unsafe but we actually improvised it so we built a wooden cabinet on top of the roof,but it cannot be seen when you're standing outside of the house because it's in the middle of the roof.
I opened the door to our pent house and found him laying on a dough couch with his headsets on while he played his guitar and he actually sounded good, last time I remember he stunk at playing the guitar. his has was a lot and curly. I was so excited I ran to him and gave him a tight hug from behind.
"What the fuck? How did you find thi-? " he said before he stood and turned around. He's eyes lit when he realized it was me. " Lay? What are you doing here?" He asked, but he was still frozen .
"What do you mean? You should be saying omg lay I missed you so much, and I couldn't breathe without you," I said while punching his arm."I don't know. I'm just..wow. why didn't you tell me you were back in town?" He asked while looking at me from head to toe. " I wanted it to be a surprise. I wanted to come for dinner but your mom called me and told me you were missing , so I had to be all Superman and I came as soon as I could, " I said.." I really don't know why she thinks a big ass person like me will run away. Mom needs to know im not a child anymore, " he said, sitting back down.
"She's your mom. Of course, she will never accept you growing up. To her, you will always be mommy's little baby waby." I said while pinching his cheeks.
He slapped my hands and grinned." Of course you're still the same, Layla.i thought Seattle would change you,"he said, tuning his guitar.I sat down next to him. " Why would it change me?" I asked
" You know, I thought you'd come back with a big head after getting hit on by those Seattle guys," he said, not looking at me." Oh nah, dude. The only thing that hit me is pubaty this whole summer." I said," that I can clearly see, " he said, looking at me from head to toe again. I don't know, but he looked a whole lot different from when I last saw him." Is it that bad?" I said, giving him a worried look.
"No, you are actually hot now. You don't have a baby body anymore, " he said .
" What?!I was always hot. I don't know what you're talking about." I said, knowing what exactly he was talking about .I really did have a lumpy body, but this summer, my pubady gave me broad hips ,big boobs and ass. so I guess my new figure made me the definition of hot .
