Something About Him

-36-

i know that i haven't updated in a week and that's really unlike me but i hope that y'all haven't forgotten about me 🌚 Enjoy!

Layla Wilkes

"No we're not going anywhere tonight. We just wanna have a sleepover during our winter break," I explain to my parents straight lying through my teeth. "Is that so hard to believe?"

"The only reason we're double checking is because the sleepovers are usually at our house. That's it, Layla," my dad responds to me.

"Well do you want for me to tell them I can't go or...?" I ask just to make it seem like it isn't a big deal even though if he says that I can't go, my whole night's plans are ruined.

And if you haven't already realized, I'm making attempts to go somewhere that I know that I'm not supposed to be considering who's gonna be there and that person would be Chris.

My parents told me not to see him, yeah, but he's my boyfriend and I can't just say 'oh, we can't hang out anymore.'

What kind of girlfriend would that make me?

To add onto that, how can I just meet that sort of outrageous standard of my parents' without hurting myself?

In our time so far as a couple, Chris has grown on me so much. It honestly feels like we've actually been dating longer than its actually been since we knew we liked each other and it seemed like we were a couple for a while before we actually became official.

Who cares about dates and all that though?

Chris means so much to me and I'm pretty confident that that goes vice versa as well, so.

"Go ahead, Layla," my mother answers on behalf of both her and my father. "Enjoy yourself, okay?"

"Alright, thank you!" I give them a smile that appears as innocent. "Love you guyssss," I drag it out as I back out of the living room.

"Love you too. I love you too little girl," they both call individually and by then, I'm making my way up the stairs and to my bedroom.

"Baby, you can get off mute," I tell Chris after I close the door to my bedroom and sit on my bed.

"What'd they say?" Chris asks me once he got off pause and mute.

"As far as they know, I'm staying over Allie's house so that us two and Gigi can have a sleepover, but you know the actual plan..." I speak lowly.

"Aight well when you leaving?"

I glance at my cable box seeing that it's only around seven o'clock. My parents know that I'm leaving soon so I can leave whenever I guess.

"Doesn't matter," I answer.

"Come now. I wanna see you," he pouts slightly into the camera.

"We've been on FaceTime literally all day, Chris," I laugh lightly. "But alright. I'm about to leave then."

"Aight. Hurry up."

"Stop rushing me."

"I just wanna see you. I haven't seen you in person since Christmas Eve," he responds. "I miss you, babe. And ya lips."
