Lucky Me

Chapter 16

"Layla! Thank you honey!" My mom tells me hugging me. She never thanks me or hugs me.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"I'm hugging you. I can't thank you enough. With what you did. I got my job back."

"What about the judge? What's happening with him?"

"Your father and I are still trying to decide about that, it could cause some unwanted drama Layla. We can't have that, not now.' She tells me, in her fake I-care-for-you voice

"Mom, if you and dad won't do anything...I will!" I tell her. I'm not trying to be a bitch or anything but we can't let this man get away with it. Espically because I'm mayjors daughter.

"We will discuss this later. Please get ready for a important dinner." My mo tells me. I just got out of school. I'm all sweaty from practice, coach was in charge today. But I jut nodded to my mom and went upstairs.

Our house is big. We have 5 bedrooms my mom and dads, mine, my brothers, and then a guest room. We each il have our own bathroom, thank god. I go into the shower. Once I'm out I don't know what to wear. I call Leslie and ask her, she knows my closet by heart. She tells me to wear a black dress with lacy sleeves with black ankle heals. I decide on the other things. I picks out my favorite black Coach cross-body purse with a black and silver ring with black gray bracelets. For makeup I decided on red lipstick, mascara, eyeliner, and gray eyeshadow. I don't feel like putting on foundation, my skin is already perfect. My hair is going to be in a pretty braid.

"Honey! Lets go!!!" They tell me. I got ready in 3 hours. I don't look to bad. I don't even know where we are going.

"Well little sister, you don't look as ugly anymore." Brett tells me as I come down the stairs.

"Well brother, you do look slightly more ugly from my view." I tell him.

"Now kids that's enough." Dad says.

"What's got your panties in a bunch?" Brett and I ask at the same time.

"Kids. Don't speak to your father that way...." Then she whispers "...he's under a lot of stress. We are having dinner with the mayor from the other county." Mom says just trying to keep the conversation between us three.

"Ohh." We both say. Brett offers his arm to me because I can't walk in heals, he know I can't which is why he says 'I can't have my sister embarrass herself.' Which I know he'd die to see that happen but this is important for dad. So I just step on his foot.

"Layla, Brett meet Mr. Josh Walker."

"Oh please. Call me Josh. This is my son, Jasper." Mr. Walker put his had out to shake hands and Brett and I did. Jasper kissed the back of my hand and shook Brett's. When Jasper didn't look Brett winked at me. I whispered 'Jacob is all I need" into his ear. He just shrugged it off. We went to the table and then Mr. Walker said

"Thank you for joining us. Sorry my wife isn't here she had at attend a meeting. Shall we order our food?" We all shook our heads. I'm a soccer player so I love food. It's heaven to me but I have to control myself. I decided on a well done steak. Jasper was looking at me the whole time, even when we were eating. I didn't like it so I excused myself to the bathroom, it didnt work he came too. I saw him and he just kissed me. I was shocked and I pushed him off of me.

"Why did you do that?!"

"Because your pretty." He told me.

"Thanks but no thanks." I tell him. Then Brett comes to the rescue. He asks what's going on. I told him he kissed me.

"Dude. Don't do that. She has a boyfriend. And I suggest you stop because she's a soccer player, so she knows how to kick balls and her boyfriend is a football player." Brett tells Jasper. I try not to laugh about the kicking balls comment.
