My Arranged Marriage With A Bad Boy

Chapter 3

Layla's POV

The Mr.Hottie guy (who's name is Peter) left after the conversation he had on his phone.  

I thanked him again for my lunch. Once I was done I decide to check my timetable,

''Oh I only have study period... There's not much point in me going. Shopping!'' I mumble to myself, I get up and walk to the nearest bus stop to take me into the town centre, once it gets here I show the driver my pass and sit down. I stick my headphones in and chill out to Suicide Silence for a bit. Tom would be proud.

When the bus finally gets there, I get off, thanking the driver and wonder off to MotherCare. I need to stock up on bits and bobs.

I finally finish and decicide to ring Ava, my bestfriend. The female one.

"Hello?" she answers. 

"S'up bitch, I'm in town, fancy meeting me?" I answer, I hear her chuckle on the other end, mostlikely because I called her a bitch. We tend to do that to each other. We don't really care.  

"Eh, sure, can Daisy come too?" she replies and I hear Daisy in the background asking what's going down. 

"Uh, duh!" I love Daisy to pieces, she's great, very, very, weird but you can't fault her. "But, I might be getting James and Tom to come, ask her what she thinks." James and Daisy have a history and he was pretty much a dick. But she's over him. I think.

"She says it's cool as long as he doesn't piss her off." I hear Av say.

"Okay. I'll text Tom now because he never picks up. See you in about 20?" I say, she replies with a yes and I end the call. I turn to my messages and discover one from my Mum.

'Be home by 7 we have guests over.' I shake my head, not even a 'Love mum'. Jesus.  

I click on Tom's name (TallTom - I know a lot of Toms.)

'Hello, me, Ava and Daisy are meeting up in town. Do you and the Twonk want to come?x' I send smirking a little. He replies almost straight away with

'We're already here - Down by Castle, come meet us, (Jak's here too) where's you?x' I laugh and tell him I'm on my way. When I get to Castle I see him and the Twonk. AKA, James.

"Hey Tom, Twonk, Jak.." I say walking up to them as they hear me they walk towards me too, I give Tom a hug first then I turn to James and hug him too.

"What have you been up to this afternoon then?" James asks me, I have to look up at him to reply (I hate being like 5'3")

"Not much, went to the Café up the road for lunch, met a cute guy, left and went shopping for baby stuff." I say shrugging,

"What's this I hear about a cute guy Bitch?!" I hear Ava shout out to me.

"1st of all, I just met one. And 2nd, you have a boyfriend," I say, hugging them both. 

"How're you guys?" I ask them all.

"Eh, not bad," is pretty much what I got from the majority.

"So, where we off?" Jak says to no-one in particular.

"Now normally I would say lazer-tag but she's knocked-up, our lazer-tag games are going to have to wait for a bit." Daisy says gesturing to me. I scoff and roll my eyes.

"Hey, I didn't ask to get pregnant, but it's both our faults. And this baby is going to have the best set of Aunts and Uncles ever." I reply to her.

"Hasn't she only got Flic as an aunt - and Tommo's brother for an uncle." I hear James say, I look up at Tom and shake my head, he and I both hit James on the back of the head upside (or as I like to say, Gibbs style. I have a slight obsession with NCIS)

"She means us idiot." Ava says.

"Well, I'm getting cravings..." I say turning to Ava and giving her 'the look'

"Milkshakes!?!" We shout simultaneously, the other four look at us as if we're loons on loony pills but they follow us to Mad Cow anyway.

We sit on the steps in Castle Square and just watch the water-fountains for a while with our milkshakes. Six o'clock rolls around eventually and I remember I have to go.

"Shit, I've got to go guys! I'll see you all tomorrow?" I say standing up and grabbing my stuff.

"Do you want me to walk you to the bus stop Layl?" Tom asks, I nod and hug everyone good bye.

Tom and I wander off to the bus stop, thankfully there's one up the road, "What number you getting?" He asks looking at the board of times.

"Uh, 14, 15 or the 114 probably, when's the next one in?" I reply getting my purse out my bag.

"15 should be here in about 5 minutes or so. How're you? Did you get any more sickness today?" He says quietly. I shake my head in response,

"I didn't, thank God. That's going to be the one thing that kills me in all of this, is the sick. Seriously, I hate throwing up, and I fucking hate the after taste." I say subconsciously quoting Pierce The Veil, when I realise I smirk a little and look up at Tom who's smirking also.

"Dude, do you have to quote them at every chance you get? I mean, I don't know Vic, what is so good about picking up the pieces?" He says and I just roll my eyes, he doesn't like Pierce The Veil very much, or Sleeping With Sirens. I just laugh it off most of the time when he insults them, but I can't get back at him, because most of the bands he likes, I like too, so I'm fucked as far as that goes.

"But, don't worry, you'll be okay, you've got what? A month or two until most of the sickness finishes don't you?" He asks, I nod hitching my bag onto my shoulder again,

"According to the midwife I have, she says next month it should finish when I hit six months, it's gone on longer than normal but she says that mum's went on longer than average." I reply with a small smile, the bus begins to pull up and I give Tom a hug,

"See you later Mate." I say, "and give me a text, God knows what my mum has planned for her 'guests'." I mutter with another eye roll. He laughs a little and nods,

"Ta-ra, and don't worry, I will save you." I laugh and shake my head as I get on the bus, I flash the bus driver my pass and go find a seat, wondering who these guests of mum's are.
