Layla’s P.O.V

He held my hand as we made our way through the crowd, out of the Cineplex. We left the mall at 6.00, went for the movie at 8.00. It was now very dark and very late. I pulled out my Iphone and the digital clock showed 11.30pm. I had six missed calls from my mom and a text message saying, *I’m leaving sweetie. I called your phone a few times but you didn’t answer. Can you call me once you figure out where to stay for the night? I love you. Stay safe!*. “HOLY SHIT, JEFF! Look at the time!!” I shouted once we sat in the car. “It’s 11.30, why?” he said, calmly, bringing the engine to life. I rolled my eyes and said “I told my mom, that I’d be late but she’s out of town now and I don’t have the keys. I have to sleep on the porch now, and it’d be cold, and the police might think I’m a terrorist who is” and Jeff interrupted me by placing his hand on my mouth.

“Shhh, now. Let’s go to my house then. You can sleep there for the night. You’ve stayed there a hundreds of times. This won’t make any difference,” he said. “It will make a small difference for me, though,” he mumbled softly. His aunt and uncle were in London, we drove into his driveway. Jeff fumbled with the keys, nervously as I stood beside him facing the neighborhood, the wind picking up, getting colder by every passing minute. We entered the house for two for the night.

****************

“Jeff, I don’t have anything to change into. Does your aunt have anything I could fit in?” I asked, looking down at my skinny jeans and grey tank top. “She does, but you’re too small to fit in her clothes,” Jeff said, rubbing the stubble of his chin and looking around.

“Umm, it’s okay. I’ll sleep in this,” I said. I was hoping for a comfortable sleep today. Oh look, my comfortable sleep just went down the drain. I sighed and began walking to the room I was given.

“Layla, wait!” Jeff called. I turned around, hoping to find a nightgown in his arm for me. Instead he held oversized boxers in his arms. I stared at it for a while. “Umm, you can wear these. It’ll be longer on you,” he said. I smiled and took it from him. Anything comfortable other than these jeans will do wonderful. “What do I wear on top?” I asked. He thought for a moment and removed his shirt revealing his toned, muscular body. He threw the t-shirt to me and I grabbed it. “You can wear that. I’ll be shirtless anyway,” he said, beaming. I laughed nervously and walked to my room to change.

 

I stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection. Jeff’s plaid boxers were huge on me. I had to tie the string around my waist to make it stay in place. His white t-shirt hung loosely on my shoulder and it reach slightly above my knees. I pulled the sleeve up my shoulder and pulled my hair into a low ponytail. I grabbed my Iphone and informed my mother that I’ll be staying at Jeff’s tonight. I switched off the lights and went down to the hall, where Jeff promised to be. True to his promise, he was sitting on the sofa, leaning and his elbows on his knees. He was wearing only a knee length black sweats. Two pints of Ben and Jerry’s were on the table, along with two hamburgers and a bottle of water. He was watching Spongebob and he turned his attention to me when I walked past him to sit. He slid me a pint of Chocolate fudge Ben and Jerry’s with a spoon on the lid, and turned his attention back to the talking yellow sponge on the screen.

 

I opened the lid and continued to gobble down the frozen goodness and the hamburger. Jeff’s habit were creeping into me. By the time I was done with the  food, Jeff was lying on my lap, watching TV. The clock showed 1.30am and I shook Jeff gently to go to bed. He lazily walked into his room, after planting a good night kiss on my cheek. I walked into my room with his kiss still lingering on my cheek. I snuggled into bed with the scent of his shirt around me. Not long after, I drifted into a peaceful sleep dreaming about yellow sponges and white shirts.
