Layla rose an eyebrow, as she heard Jason. But couldn't help but laugh at his teasing. The young woman just shook her head. Rolling her brown eyes into the back of her head. She was sure, the boys would enjoy that, if that happened.
"You wish! No end game here." Layla told him, with a smirk.
"Besides, do I need to remind you? You boys always come and go without knocking and one of you...not pointing fingers...always raids the fridge on the way out." Layla then smiled, as Jason seemed to pick up on her scent.
"You really have a nose of a hound-dog!" she teased him, with a laugh.
"Maybe, I was whipping something up for Thanksgiving." she said with a smile.
"Also we all know, your eating habits." Layla told him. Jason could eat and eat..and eat. No wonder, she had to check up on him. Feeling her phone buzz, Layla seemed to have a bit of a hoard of incoming messages. Reading the message from Fabian, she just smiled. Hopefully, they'd know who was coming or not later on. Her next message was from Adam. But the message made her frown slightly. Seemed like he didn't have a break...not even for Thanksgiving. Layla began to respond to his message:
To Adam:
That's a shame. I hope you'll join us soon, if you manage to get out of work earlier. Happy Thanksgiving Sammy.
Despite his first name being Adam, Layla did on occasion call him 'Sammy or Samuel' If you wanted to tease, by using his middle name instead. She kind of got used to calling him that. As she put her phone back in her pocket; she smiled hearing Fabian come in.
"Hey Bro, glad to see you made it out alive." she teased; knowing how hectic the supermarkets got at this time of the year.
"Darn, you boys know me too well. Can't a girl surprise you?" Layla asked; shaking her head with a laugh.
"I was actually, finishing something off, before I came to check up on fridge boy over here." she teasingly nodded her head over to Jason. But smiled at one of her friends warmly. Even if she teased Jason, it was out of love and friendship. No harm.
"Actually, I just got a text from Adam. He's gonna be late, work stuff. I am still not sure about Amy, I think she mentioned she already had dinner plans with her boyfriend, at her parents house." Layla filled him in, as he asked. That was all she knew so far.
Hearing Fabian; she half as expected him to ask that question.
"I can help, but you guys have got to get rid of anything that's off. I ain't eating Stale bread, on Thanksgiving." she said. Layla had always caught the guys, with a full fridge...and more often than not. Some of the stuff, was always past it's use by date. They never ever learned.
"I'll be back in a bit. I got to finish off my Thanksgiving cake for you I'll....be back in a few." she smiled, before ruffling both of their hair. Layla then walked out of the Apartment. Across the hall,back into her own.
Getting back to her cake; Layla began to finish of the Icing. Before putting on some decorations. Marzipan Flowers. It didn't take her long; Only 6 more minutes, and she was setting the cake back into the Fridge. So it could set before tonight.
As her phone buzzed again. Layla shook her head to herself.
"Always on Thanksgiving, my phone buzzes like nuts." she muttered to herself, with a laugh before seeing the text from Corinne. A girl so different than her, but her best-friend. Layla often wondered, how the pair ended up being such close friends. Despite, their differences and Layla's opinion of Cori's love-life and heart-breaking tactics. The girl, was still a good friend to her, and there when she needed her. Layla then sent her a text;
To Cori:
I actually, agreed to help Fabian with Thanksgiving Dinner. Are you coming to the get-together? If so,
bring the pie with you to that :) If you don't mind, hanging me and the bro's...come over to his.
