"Dad, she was literally wearing my stuff. From HEAD TO TOE. Like she already looks like me she had my entire wardrobe on let's just slap a name tag on her forehead that says Laylani on top of it," I said to my dad out of frustration. Dianna had came in the room at the sound of commotion and I guess she told my father what happened because as soon as he got home he called me into his office like this was school or something.
"Laylani, you have to grow up. You have had the privileged of getting whatever you want from your mother and I your whole life. Your sister hasn't had the same. I cannot believe you could be so insensitive..." His words caused me to feel guilty. As much as I still held my ground he was right. "You have clothes in that closet that I have never seen on your body and most of it I've only seen you wear once or twice. Maybe she overstepped her boundaries but the way you handled it was uncalled for and I think you owe her an apology."
"Ha," I let out a sarcastic laugh although I knew my father was right.
"Laylani, I'm serious. That is your sister and she is apart of your life now. You can't be walking around here like you two hate eachother. That is a bad example to set for your little sisters, bad for the vibes of the house, and bad for the family." He lectured. I figured the longer I resisted the longer we would just keep going back and forth and it was a school night.
"Okay... Dad." I sighed and his tense faced relaxed a little.
"I love you Laylani, and your mother and I raised you better than this." He said. I nodded my head and continued out the office. Dianna had taken Karina and Myasia back to school shopping and Erin offered to tag along. My school had uniform so it was no point of going. Plus, I didn't want to be in the car with Erin anyways. Can you believed she didn't even take off my clothes after I blacked on her. I don't even want them back anymore she is just pathetic at this point.
My phone vibrated and my heart started to beat faster as I looked and saw Prince's name pop up on the screen. I hadn't talked to him all day and I was to embarrassed about last night to text him first.
You home?
'Nah, why wassup?'
I'm outside.
'Alright, I'm coming.' I looked in the mirror before I went outside. I had on a pink velvet juicy couture sweatsuit that I threw on after my shower when I got home. My hair was slicked back and tied up and my curls sprawled out in the back of my ponytail.
I threw on some Victoria Secret 'chancletas' as my mother used to call them and continued outside. I swear my heart was beating a mile a minute. The Lexus was parked in the same place it was the time he picked me up for our date. I opened the car door and got inside this time. He looked at me and I immediately saw the bruise underneath his eye. I felt remorse but he seriously looked so sexy like he had a battle wound. I couldn't read his face and I didn't know if he was calling me in here to tell me that he never wanted to speak to me again. If he had said that I honestly wouldn't have blamed him.
"Is that from me?" I asked breaking the silence pointing towards his face. I reached out to touch it expecting him to jerk away from me but he let my hand touch his face. The intensity I always felt when I touched him was beyond me and a feeling I certainly never felt before. "I'm really sorry Prince. I don't know what came over me I--"
"Just wanted to be normal?" He asked quoting my words from last night. I had immediately felt like someone had kicked me in my stomach when I remembered that part of last night.
"No..." I looked towards the window and contemplated getting out of the car and running into my house and curling up into a bawl and cryng.
"Laylani, look at me." I ignored him. "Look at me Lay." My head turned because of the relaxed tone in his voice and he grabbed my chin. "You are beautiful."
