Layla's POV

6:55pm.

Why did I agree to this? If Harrison were here with us, things would be different. Then again maybe it's a blessing that he isn't here. At least I now know Tom really does like me. I think so at least. He was so close to kissing me. If I just hadn't been a bitch and moved away. Idiot.

6:56pm.

I get up and check that the movie has finished loading. 98%. Good. As I walk in front of my mirror I realise that I should probably put on something on, other than my bathrobe that is. What am I wear anyway? A dress? No that's too fancy. Pajamas? Too relaxed. What would I wear if it were Haz coming over? I don't know anymore. At this point I'm just staring emptily into my closet. Focus Annabel. Focus.

6:57pm.

Should I get food from the kitchen? No, he said he was bringing beer. Hopefully I like it, considering the fact that I've never actually had beer. I don't know why, I just never wanted to.

6:58pm.

Two minutes left. I can't tell if I'm nervous or excited. Probably both. I walk over to the mirror again. Should I put my hair up or down? Down, so that I can hide behind it, should I need to.

6:59pm.

I take one last look around my room, just to make sure there isn't a pile of clothes lying on the floor. One more minute. I grab my phone and sit on my bed. Why am I so calm? Shit. I'm still in my bathrobe. How am I so clueless? I rush to my closet and grab whatever I can.

7:00pm.

Why isn't he here yet?

7:01pm.

Knock knock.
