She’s my everything - S01 E18

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 18

It kind of helped that Blue seemed to constantly have a smile on his face. It thrilled her greatly.

They got some burgers and spent the entire afternoon wandering the mall. To most, it might have been a boring way to spend the afternoon hanging out, but to Laylah, it was perfect.

Her cell phone was constantly vibrating with calls from Becky and John. She ignored it.

By four o’clock, though, she knew she wasn’t going to have much choice but to go home. As she climbed back into the car, her heart rate kicked up.

“I’m sorry,” he said.

“What?”

“When you skip school, you shouldn’t look like you regret it,” he said.

“I don’t regret it.” She tucked her hair behind her ear.

She’d let it down a little while ago as the ponytail had felt like it was tugging a little too much.

“I enjoyed today.”

“Then what’s wrong?”

“My parents. They’re going to be home and, well, I guess I don’t want to have the conversation with them. They’re going to judge.”

He kissed her knuckles. “I’ll come in with you.”

“You will?”

“How hard can it be?”

“Come into my office,” her father said.

Blue looked toward Laylah.

She hadn’t been kidding about her parents waiting. They both looked ready to kill him.

Not the best way to get in his girl’s good books. Not a good way at all.

“Dad, is this necessary?” Laylah asked.

“For the first time in my life, I got a call from the school to tell me my daughter had decided to skip class and to run off with a boy. I think this needs handling straight away.”

“Seriously, this was my first time.”

“Do not speak to me in that tone. You should be grateful we’re giving you a chance to explain yourself. All I wanted to do was ground your arse and ban him from ever stepping foot near you. You can thank your mom for that. You, follow me.”

Blue couldn’t recall being so nervous. The last time he’d had this sick feeling, his own father had demanded his presence in his office, but that had ended with a big box of condoms and the warning of what it meant to get a girl pregnant.

He didn’t think this was going to go the same way.
