Layla’s P.O.V

The sun shined through the gaps of the curtains. I blinked, my eyes adjusting to the bright light filling the room. Jeff’s body was partially on mine. Thoughts of yesterday flooded to my mind and I felt Jeff’s grip on my waist, still there from last night. His leg draped over my thighs and his face buried in my chest. I laid there, taking my time to admire his perfect features. I tousled his hair and tried falling back to sleep, but I couldn’t. I stared at the ceiling, recounting everything that happened in the two days. I felt eyes burning into me, and I turned to see a sleepy eyed Jeff looking at me.

“Good Morning,” he breathed, making no to attempt to get up.

“Morning,” I smiled. He stared at me, for a while and finally shifted his body and stood up from the bed. I stayed there for a minute before finally getting up.

“Your hair looks like a haystack, Layla,” he laughed.

I glared at him and quickly took a look at the mirror. It did look like a haystack. I grabbed a hairbrush and worked it through the nest on my head. I pulled it into a messy bun, and turned to Jeff.

“Breakfast?” I asked.

“Umm, what do we have?” he asked.

“I’ll check,” I said, and grabbed my phone. Two text messages.

*Sure honey, be safe, okay? I’ll be home by afternoon. J * it read, from my mom.

*Sorry, for what happened today. I uh, sorry. It was wrong to speak of you like that. L  -Adam- * the second one said, from Adam. I didn’t know if I should forgive him. I replied:

*Um, it’s okay. :/ *

I brushed my teeth with the spare toothbrush I had in Jeff’s house and ran down just as Jeff walked into the shower. I walked into the built in pantry and saw that they had Special K’s and French toast sticks. I grabbed the milk from the fridge and in minutes I had breakfast prepared and I sat down, to wait for Jeff. I saw that Adam had replied,

*Um, thanks. Got a date for the D&D night? ;) *

*Uh yes. I’m going with Jeff. Why?* I asked.

Seconds later my phone beeped and the message read:

*I thought of asking you, but it’s okay. Wanna meet up for lunch today?*

*Oh? Sorry though. And I don’t really think I can. I’ve got plans already. Sorry. L * I replied, and slid my phone in my pocket, just as Jeff came in. He was wearing sweatpants that hung on his waist, and he was drying his hair with a towel.

“Hey,” he said, and went around me after giving me a good morning kiss on the cheek. He sat and pulled his cereal bowl closer and filling it with milk. “The dance is tomorrow, you remember right?” he asked. “Oh? Um, I forgot. What time?” I asked, taking a bite of the French toast.

“6.00 in the evening,” he said, and I nodded.

I carried the dishes to the dishwasher, and Jeff followed me. “Adam, asked me to the dance and wanted to meet up for lunch later,” I told him. Jeff choked on his water, before asking, “HE WHAT? What did you say?” he half shouted. “Relax, I said no I’m going with you and no I have plans today,” I told him. “Plans? What plans do you have?” he asked, curios. “Nothing,” I said and smirked at him. I grinned ear to ear and we sat on the couch to watch Teen Wolf.

“I should be going, Mom said she’ll be here in the afternoon,” I told Jeff, as I stood up. He stood up and dusted his palms on his sweats. I ran upstairs to collect my bag and my dress for tomorrow. I ran back down, to see Jeff at his door. He was standing by the door, looking out at the busy Saturday street. The wall clock showed 4.00pm and I didn’t have my shower or lunch yet. I kissed Jeff goodbye and hugged him tight before sitting in my car. I smile and waved him goodbye before bringing the engine to life and headed towards home. My mom was probably in there, so I won’t have to wait outside. I pulled in to my driveway, and just as expected mom was inside.
