WRITTEN TO BE HIS

Nicknames?

[Later that night]
Layla looked at her clock that read 5:55

'Better put some actual clothes on'

she thought as she looked down at her pajamas, She went to her closet and pulled out a pair of blue jeans and a loose pink top,
S

he didn't bother with shoes or a bra because she didn't plan on leaving the house tonight, She put her jet black hair in a high ponytail and ran downstairs. She didn't Know what to expect from this man who was her new 'Babysitter' but she did know one thing...She already disliked him.

[30 minutes later)

The doorbell rang as Layla rolled her eyes, She already knew it had to be Eric, He was always on time, Always. She answered the door and there stood Eric in his usual black suit and Hair slicked back

"Hi Eric" Layla chirped as she stepped aside

"Heya layla" he greeted back as he grinned,
S

he rolled her eyes again, He had been greeting her with that same line since she was 13

"Never gets old, Mom will be ready soon" she said sitting down on the sofa, Followed by Eric

"It's fine, I can wait...So u get a Manny tonight huh" he said mockingly as he laughed

"NO!..A babysitter" Layla said looking away embarrassed, Eric started laughing like a child

"Yeah kiddo, Whatever you say, Cause that so makes a difference" he said between his childish laughter, Layla just shook her head at him. Leana came down dressed in a dark red dress and a pair of black satin heels with her hair curled and her signature dark rose lipstick

" Wow mom, You look amazing"

ayla said standing from the sofa

"Thank you sweetheart" Leana replied as
E

ric was so in awe of his beautiful girlfriend, All he could do was smile and extend his arm to her

"Layla baby? Matthew will be here in 20 minutes...Be good" Leana said while taking Eric's arm

"I will, You two have fun" Layla said winking at them making Eric laugh and Leana roll her eyes,

After she gave her daughter a peck on her forehead they were off on their merry way.
