My Dearest Encounter

Chapter 8

"Babe come on."

"But I'm so tired. Can we come back tomorrow to look for something?" I asked drag my feet on the floor of the mall.

Layt and I have been walking around the mall to find him something suitable for the dance that correlated with my gown.

"Come, I'll carry you on my back."

"Okay" I said walking to Layt.

Layt stooped and I climbed on his back.

"You alright?"

"Yeah"

"Giddy up horse!" I yelled to Layt.

"Okay" Layt said then stopped walking.

"I'm kidding baby. Did I upset you?" I asked.

"Nah"

Layt started running with me on his back. My head kept bobbing up and down while my body jerked. At a point I thought was going to fall off his back. It was quite scary.

"Layt stoppppp! I'll walk myself." I yelled

Layt started to laugh and I wanted to hit him so bad. Freaking manic.

"Please. Please stop Layt." I said

"Okay babe I'll put you down."

When Layt paced slowed down I hopped off his back.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Running in the mall like a psychopath. We could have fell" I said slapping Layt in his head.

"Ouch. Stop putting your hands on me. I was only having fun with you."

"I'm sorry for hitting you. Is that how you define fun?" I asked.

"To me that is fun. Hey what can I say enjoy hearing my women scream" Layt stated with a wink.

"Oh really? Well, sorry to burst your bubble but you won't be hearing me scream. If your indicating what I think you are. The closest you will get to me screaming --- you know what never mind." I said rising my hand then dropping them and walking away.

"Layla, baby I was just playing" Layt said reaching for my wrist.

"Look at me" Layt said with a demanding voice.

I turned around to Layt but held my head down. Layt used his left hand and rise my face up to where I was looking at him.

"Look I didn't mean to offend you if I did. I know your not that type of girl."

"Yeah, yeah" I said rolling my eyes.

"Your attitude is one of the very many things I like about you" Layt stated sarcastically.

I didn't want to argue with Layt anymore although he is very irritating.

"Okay, can we go look for your suit now?"

"I thought you didn't want to because you were tired."

"That was then this is now."

"Shall we then" Layt said outstretching his hand.

"We shall" I said accepting it and giggled to myself.
