I wake up stumbling off my bed with a huge thud.
"Oh fuck" I mutter to myself rolling on my side to rub my butt where I landed. I get up dragging myself to my phone seeing as I had a text from Cleo.
Cleo: hey! Come by my house today! I have a surprise for you.
Leila: okay...?
I hit send with an unsure look before getting ready to go. I hop to the bathroom brushing my teeth and brushing my hair out into a half up half down hair do before going down the stairs and sitting at the kitchen island.
As I jump up on one of the bar stool chairs I see a note on the counter.
Dear Leila,
Me and your father will be gone for two weeks. We left some money in the cabinet for you. I'm sorry this is such short notice but we got the call last night and you came in late! I will call to check up on you from time to time. See you in two weeks. You can have some friends over but not a lot. No parties!! If I come home and your not a virgin, I will surgically remove the baby!! And your vagina. That is all. Have a nice day.
-parents.
Ugh! One reason I dislike my parents. They take everything too serious. Like I'm gonna get pregnant while she's not here. Well I'm not her. My mom got pregnant with me when she was 16 she carried me for 9 months. My mom is young but her age doesn't matter. It's not something I like to talk about. Her story is almost as tragic as my love life. Enough sulking. I hop up grabbing my favorite bowl of cereal. Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
After I'm done eating, I rush up the stairs to get dressed. I decide on some sweats and a t-shirt with my hair in a messy bun. I only wore this because I decided to take a shower at Cleo's house. So I pack a bag with clothes to wear. I grab my penny board, charger, speaker, and phone and rush down the stairs grabbing my keys off the counter and locking the door.
I toss my stuff in the passenger seat of my jeep and put the key in the ignition before pulling out the driveway and going to Cleo's. On the way I hook up my phone to the aux cord playing Dead roses by Blackbear. I lightly tap my fingers in the steering wheel to the beat of the song humming the words. I slowly pull into Cleo's driveway, grabbing my stuff and getting out the car.
I use the spare key I have on my key ring and open her door walking in and going straight to her shower. I start the water before taking off my clothes and hopping in. I wash my body and just rinse off my hair. I get out wrapping one of Cleo's favorite fuzzy towels around my body and walking out the bathroom seeing Cleo on her bed. Her head shoots up at me with a shocked look on her face.
"I thought you weren't coming I was about to call you" she says getting up to give me a hug but she stops and pauses seeing the towel I have on. "Is that my favorite towel"?
"I dunno is it"? I ask playing dumb.
"Leila I'm gonna kick your ass. Just not right now. Hurry up and get dressed so I can give you your surprise".
"Okay jeez I'm going". I slip on my pale pink bra and matching underwear after Cleo leaves the room. I slide on my light blue shorts with my floral t- shirt and I leave my wet hair down letting it air dry. I slip on my black toms and walk out the door. I fall down the stairs into the kitchen seeing Cleo sitting on the counter on her phone.
"Are you okay"?
She saying jumping off the counter laughing.
"Yea. Fine" I say standing up and brushing myself off while giving her a glare.
"Okay good because it's time for your surprise" she says grabbing my hands. She covers my eyes as she leads me somewhere in her house. I pretty sure we're outside because I can feel the cool breeze blowing my hair. Suddenly we come to a stop.
"Okay are you ready"?
"I guess".
She removes her hands from my eyes and I see a very cheeky Jack standing in front of me.
"Hey Leila" he says
Scratching the back of his neck. Clearly a nervous habit. I jump up and wrap my legs around his waist and his immediate reaction is to put his hands under my butt to hold me up. I honestly didn't mind though. He realizes what he was holding and moves his hands.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to—"
"It's okay" I interrupted him. " you were just making sure I didn't fall" I chuckle. I jump off of him almost falling but grabbing on to him for support.
"Are you okay"? He ask clearly trying to hold back his laughter.
"Yea fine" I reply slightly embarrassed. I feel my phone vibrate in my back pocket and see a notification from Twitter with the caption saying.
These two cuties should really date ;)
I open up the notification to see its a video of me jumping on Jack and him cupping my butt. I smile to myself before saving it to my phone.
