Friday morning arrived quite late for Eleonora. For the first time in a very long time, she slept in. It wasn't very surprising considering the events of last night.

Layla had already shut out for the night when Eleonora arrived, which was very good. The moment her eyes landed on her friend, she would have noticed something wrong.

After taking a long and slow shower, Eleonora threw on some clothes absentmindedly and headed for the kitchen. She made an effort not to think of anything of the past night, as hard as it was.

Her troubles didn't last long, thanks to her ever resourceful roommate. The moment Layla saw her, she started her daily questions and talk about her day.

"Finally, the sleeping beauty decides to arise. How did you sleep oh princess?" she asked as Eleonora joined her on the table.

Eleonora grabbed a fruit off the basket before answering her friend's question with one of her own. "Ever thought of being an actress Layla?"

Layla placed her finger on her lips thoughtfully. "Yes, I have actually. One time, at school, the drama teacher asked me..."

She didn't get a chance to finish sentence before Eleonora cut her off. "Okay okay! I don't want to hear about it. If given a chance, you could go on for weeks you know."

Layla pushed Eleonora before sitting in front of her. "No I can't! I'd get bored." her eyes twinkled, "But there is something I can go on about now."

Eleonora laughed, "What has caught your interest this time heh?"

Layla clapped her hands like an excited child. "Guess what happened last night?"

Eleonora frowned, she had no wish to let her mind wander to the night before in fear of the thoughts that would bombard it. So, she feigned ignorance instead. "What happened?"

Layla gave her a scowl before smiling. "I showed Rash around town remember?"

"Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that! How did your self-proclaimed date go?" Eleonora asked, biting into her apple.

Bouncing up and down, Layla started gushing. "It was amazing. We talked and we had dinner. Can you believe he is from Manchester? I should have guessed though, he's accent is so sexy"

Eleonora giggled along with her best friend. It was obvious that Layla liked the guy. And she didn't stop there either.

"I also invited him to come with me on Saturday to the new amusement park. He said okay and even offered to pick me up."

Eleonora frowned, "I thought you had work on Saturday?"

Also frowning, Layla shook her head. "I only go to do some extra work. I don't have to."

Eleonora cursed under her breath. "Now I'm going to have to call Lyndon."

Layla burst out laughing. "You really won't lose an excuse to call him will you?"

"No! I told him that I would go Halle Heirs with you and he would pick me up from there. Now I need to clear things up."

Layla waved her hand dismissively, "Yeah yeah, whatever floats your boat." she said, standing up. "Gotta go. Even if my boss will be busy talking to you, I still need to make an appearance at work."

Eleonora huffed and walked back to her bedroom. Landing on her bed, she pulled out her phone, found Lyndon's number and stared at it. To be honest, the prospect of calling Lyndon did make her a bit nervous. Until now, it was he who made the moves. Now that the tables were turned, she was in a whole new territory.
