Life of All

Chapter 13 The Car Ride

As Layla was pulling off from the bowling alley parking lot she noticed that Travis sat in the backseat. Layla felt like he was really acting childish if he couldn't even sit beside her. As she got on the highway she tried to ask Travis if he lived where he usually stayed, and Travis sucked his teeth and said pissed, "Man where else would I be". Layla just rolled her eyes knowing that she had to keep her hands on the wheel from smacking the attitude out of his ass. Then what pissed her off more was that he started to text on his phone with the loud clicking tone. Layla purposely plugged in her phone into the radio and started to play daft punk. She knew that Travis wasn't into that type of music so she did it on purpose just to annoy him. Back at Maw Maw's house Landon was preparing to leave, and Anaya was in tears. Anaya said sadly, "Why won't you just leave Maya and be with me". Landon said coldly, "Look you're like a little sis to me that's all what me and Maya got will never be the same thing you and me will have". Anaya got angry and pushed Landon outside of the screen door. Landon just shook his head and went to his 1990's Honda's Accord, and opened the car door. Anaya got so angry she slammed the door so hard it shocked Na'Shawn and woke him up from his sleep. Na'Shawn came downstairs and said and a sleepy tone, "Nay what you doing, I'm trying to go to sleep". Anaya just rolled her eyes at him as she made her way upstairs. Na'Shawn looked at her and then at the front door and heard a car pulling off. Na'Shawn thought to himself tiredly, "I hope this is a dream because she know ain't nobody suppose to be here when Maw Maw not home". Meanwhile Layla was still driving to Travis' house, she was bumping to Daft Punk's Doing It Right, and Travis was getting angrier by the minute. As Layla reached a stop light Travis said annoyed, "Could you turn that shit down, damn". Layla turned around and looked Travis right in his eyes and said hardheartedly, "No". For a minute it felt like they were both in the part of the mortal combat game were one character has to finish the other, until someone blew their horn to tell Layla to go. Layla turned around and began driving.

Travis wanted to cuss Layla the hell out, but he couldn't and that's what made him even angrier. Layla actually felt good about putting Travis in his place. Travis was so fucking spoiled, and that was one thing Layla had hated about him though his appearance made up for that flaw. Layla had finally reached Travis' house and Travis got out without even saying goodbye. As Layla drove off she felt great though it subsided once she reached the house and saw that Na'Shawn was up looking at taxi cab confessions. Na'Shawn was a little scared when he heard the door open thinking it was Maw Maw, so he tried to act like he was sleep. Layla knew what he was doing and yelled, "Na'Shawn if you don't take your black ass upstairs". Na'Shawn realized it was Layla and had a sense of relief in his eyes. Na'Shawn finally went upstairs, and Layla was heading upstairs right behind him. Layla noticed that Anaya's room door was closed so she didn't bother her. Layla then went in her room and got ready for bed. Layla started to think about her birthday, clothes, and then got stuck on thinking about Travis. As much as Layla hated to admit she liked Travis even when he has his weird moods. As she thought about him she scratched her head and realized that she had a lot of new growth. So she took her Marley twist out, and went asleep knowing that she would wash her hair tomorrow before she did any other hairstyle to her hair. What Layla forgot was that Travis' birthday was coming up as well.
