   Jared just chuckled and leaned forward to grab the beer that he'd left sitting on the table. "Well if it's any consolation, I don't either," he said honestly. "Hope you didn't peg me as some kind of sleaze," he laughed before taking a long swig. The last time Jared had a one-night stand was back in his college days, and that was four years ago.
Looking over at Layla, with both hands clasped around his bottle of booze, he gave something of a smile before shaking his head slightly. "No, it wasn't," he disagreed. "It was dumb. The last time I threw a punch like that, I wound up in jail for the night." Jared laughed and downed the rest of his drink before adding the empty bottle to the collection. It was then that he noticed the time on the cable box. Half past midnight. "Do you have an extra toothbrush by any chance?" He asked, pushing himself up with a groan before making his way to the bathroom to wash his face and such.

Layla commented, "Well I thought it was pretty impressive, plus he ******** deserved it." She giggled, and followed Jared into the bathroom to show him where the extra toothbrushes were. "I just have to take my contacts out and I'll leave." She said while taking them out and putting her glasses on while looking over to Jared. Not very many people knew she wore glasses.
"I'm going to bed, sleep where ever you want. Good night." Layla said and stumbled into her room and onto her bed, pulling the covers over her body. She played the games on her phone, once she was in bed, she realized she wasn't that tired.

"Goodnight, Layla." He said softly, gazing at the girl through the mirror as she dispersed. Perhaps it was the alcohol running through his veins that was making him think this way - but he really wished he hadn't stopped her earlier. It would have been nice to fall asleep with someone in his arms. It didn't happen too often.
After he had finished brushing his teeth, Jared trudged towards the living room prepared to crash on the couch for the night, when he noticed a dim light coming from Layla's bedroom. Figuring she was still awake, the male walked quietly into her bedroom and pulled off his shirt, speaking as he went. "You said I could sleep wherever I want, so," he said with a smile, tossing his shirt aside before crawling into bed next to her. Groaning softly once his back hit the mattress, Jared let out a heavy sigh before putting his hands behind his head and closing his blue eyes - even though he wasn't tired in the slightest.

"Dammit." Layla chuckled at his words, she did say that. Adjusting her glasses, Layla hoped Jared wouldn't make fun of her for them, they were pretty big. "I was tired, but when I laid down I realized I wasn't anymore." She told him, starting to sober up a bit.
"Are you tired?" She asked. It was sort of weird that he crawled into bed because the two hardly knew each other, but Layla actually liked it. It's been awhile since she's been with anyone. The last person in her bed was her best friend when she came to town and all they did was talk until 3 am. "Wanna watch something?"

"I hate when that happens," Jared said with a chuckle before turning his head to gaze over at the other. She looked kinda cute with her hair pulled back into a messy bun, though the oversized glasses were definitely the cherry on top. He couldn't help but crack a smile. "Not really," he said, moving his hand down to scratch his bare abdomen a little as he yawned. Which would be a drag if he had work the next day.
"Sure," he replied. "How about something funny this time around? Something with Seth Rogan in it," he suggested, though only half seriously. Jared didn't know about Layla, and he'd rather not admit it, but he had his fill of horror movies for the night. He rather enjoyed his sleep.
They were a little into the movie when Jared looked over at Layla. "How old are you?" He asked curiously. "Sorry, it's just--your glasses make you look super young," he commented with a light laugh.

❝ l a y x m e x g e n t l y x i n x the x c o l d x d a r k x e a r t h x . . . ❝ "I'm glad you didn't recommend another scary movie" Layla said, she wasn't going to admit that another reason why she couldn't sleep was because of the scary movie they had just watched. Layla only owned two Seth Rogan movies, Superbad and Neighbors. Getting out of her bed, she adjusted the large shirt she wore, not bothering to put her pants back on because the male had already seen her naked and she was wearing underwear. Layla opened her movie cabinet up under the tv in her room and looked around for either one. Once she found Neighbors, she put it in the DVD player and crawled back in bed.
Layla was pretty into the movie since she hadn't watched it in a long time, even when Jared asked how old she was. "Twenty four." She answered, but when he mentioned her glasses made her look a lot younger, the girl turned her head towards him. "Oh, sorry," She chuckled and pulled them off, "They were in style like 3 years ago so I had to get these huge ones. Looking down at the glasses, Layla pushed them back onto her face. "How old are you? I can tell you're a bit older then me." Layla asked, she was into older guys, more mature and had their life more together then she did. Her ex was the only boy that was her age, and that was a huge mistake.

" there is no perfect. there will always be struggle. you just have to pick who you want to struggle with. " J A R E D xxV E N N E T TJared nodded when Layla stated her age. He'd always had a thing for younger chicks, so the age difference really didn't phase him. To him, the allure was that younger women were less judgmental and less set in their ways. They don’t have a laundry list of what they want in a partner, a career or even life just yet. They're more open to having goofy good times as opposed to a woman who has a few years on her. Overall, he guessed it was just because he found them more friendly.
"Nothin' to be sorry about," he began with a chuckle, "you look cute in them." Turning onto his side while she spoke, Jared propped his head up and smiled when she returned the question. "Twenty-eight. Turning twenty-nine next month." He informed. "I hope that isn't outlandish for you or anything," he added, trying not to sound apprehensive about it. Daniel looked to be about Layla's age. He wondered if she had ever been with a guy older than herself.

Layla chuckled once Jared complemented her in her glasses, feeling that last beer she chugged finally hit her. Layla let out pretty loud burp, Sorry, excuse me." She said while waving the air away from her while giggling. "No your age doesn't bother me at all." Layla told him while scooting closer to Jared, she wasn't going to tell him but she really wanted to cuddle. She laid right under where he propped his head up and stared at his beard. "Your beard looks really soft." Moving her hand up to it, she ran her fingers through the short prickly hairs. It wasn't that soft.
"I'm tired." Layla mumbled and grabbed the remote to the tv and handed it to Jared. "You can finish the movie I'm going to sleep." She said and laid her head down on the pillow, scooting closer to him so their bodies touched.

" there is no perfect. there will always be struggle. you just have to pick who you want to struggle with. " J A R E D xxV E N N E T TAdmittedly, Jared found it kind of funny to see how Layla's behaviour seemed to change on the dime when that last beer hit her. She was belching like a pro and then she was cuddled up next to him, complimenting his beard. Jared just laughed and scratched his own beard. "On the contrary it isn't that soft at--" He was cut off when Layla's fingers ran through his beard and he could have sworn he would've passed out if she hadn't stopped. He loved it when women touched his beard and hair.
Jared just lied there enjoying being pet until Layla announced that she was going to bed. "Alright," he said. "Goodnight." The male looked down at Layla briefly when he felt their bodies touch, and with a warm smile he just rested a hand on her waist before looking towards the television.
- time skip -
He woke up with a face full of hair. Blowing the mess of hair away from his face, Jared tipped his head back before sitting up slightly to look down at Layla. Her back was pressed tightly against his chest, and his arm was draped lazily across her thin waist. She snored slightly as she laid there and Jared couldn't help but crack a bit of a grin. Reaching for her phone on the nightstand, he pressed the home button to check the time and saw that it was quarter to two. There was also a text from Daniel which he disregarded before putting it back on the nightstand. "Layla," he said softly, voice deep and a bit scratchy. His hand rubbed along the girls bare skin since her t-shirt had hiked up quite a bit in her sleep. "It's almost two o'clock."

Layla let out a quiet 'hm' sound, but hearing that it was almost 2 in the afternoon, she sighed and rolled over on to her back. "What time did I fall asleep?" She asked, normally she always checks the time before she goes to sleep, but last night she forgot to look.
Sitting up on her bed, she looked out the window and groaned, Layla wanted to keep sleeping but she knew if she went back to sleep she wouldn't be able to go to bed tonight. "Can I just stay in my bed for the rest of my life?" Layla whined while laying back down and hugging her pillow. "I need to wash my hair." She reminded herself while looking over at Jared. "This sucks balls." Layla told him, while getting up so she could go take a shower. "I'll be right back." Layla said and went to the bathroom, right as she turned the water on, there was a knock at the door that Layla didn't even hear.

" there is no perfect. there will always be struggle. you just have to pick who you want to struggle with. " J A R E D xxV E N N E T TJared's smile disappeared when Layla jumped out of bed stating that she needed to wash her hair and a look of confusion was replaced. "Right now?" He asked, leaning back on his elbows as he watched her walk across the room. "Alright," he said, still a bit muddled but guessing it was just a girl thing. Jared got out of bed shortly thereafter, clad in just a pair of red boxers, and trudged down the stairs in search of some aspirin. He had an annoying pulsating sensation in the back of his head and it was driving him nuts.
Rubbing the back of his head, the male made his way down the hallway when all of a sudden he heard a knock on the door. The hell? His eyebrows furrowed slightly as he headed over to the door and looked through the peephole to see who it was. What the ******** was Daniel doing here knocking on Layla's door? Without a moments hesitation, Jared unlocked the door and pulled it open to reveal a shocked Daniel who in that moment resembled a deer in the headlights perfectly. His eye was bludgeoned due to the night before and there was a white bandage over the bridge of his nose.
Jared narrowed his eyes skeptically at the male before folding his tattooed arms across his chest. "U-Uh..is Layla there?" He asked. "Yes. She's in the shower at the moment. What are you doing here?" Daniel cleared his throat slightly, hardening his face. "I'm here to pick up a few things. Can I come in?" He questioned, albeit aggressively. "I don't think Layla would like that very much. Especially after the way you treated her last night," he remained a calm demeanour, which only seemed to piss Daniel off even further. "Look would you just get out of my ******** way--"
The other male charged at Jared, so he grabbed him by his coat with both fists and shoved him into the wall, causing some of the framed pictures to shake slightly. "I'm trying very hard not to hurt you, and I suggest you don't give me another reason to add onto this pile," Jared began, his voice dangerously low and words laced with venom. "Are you through?"

❝ l a y x m e x g e n t l y x i n x the x c o l d x d a r k x e a r t h x . . . ❝ Getting down with her shower, Layla went back into her room to get dressed in another big shirt and pajama shorts. Her only plans today were finishing that cake and editing that families photos from the day before. Entering the bathroom again, Layla grabbed her contact case and when to put them in her eyes but when hearing a loud bang, made her jump and drop the contact down the sink. "No no no!" She whispered, now she was stuck with glasses until her next prescription came available which was in a week. Walking back into her room, she slid her glasses on and headed downstairs. "Everything okay?" She asked and looked over near the front door to see Daniel pinned to the wall by Jared. It didn't even phase or worry Layla, what ever Jared would do to Daniel next wouldn't surprise her. He did deserve it after all.
"What're you doing here?" Layla asked, slightly annoyed that Daniel showed up without telling Layla. Although she hasn't checked her phone today since she just got up. "I just want the rest of my stuff and this over protective idiot to back off of me." Daniel aggressively told her. "Don't call him that and he's just looking out for me, unlike you." Layla smirked and walked over to her jacket closet where at the bottom sat a box with the rest of Daniel's belongings. Pulling it out, she picked it up and set it by the front door. "Just don't come back again."

" there is no perfect. there will always be struggle. you just have to pick who you want to struggle with. " J A R E D xxV E N N E T TJared released Daniel from his grip once Layla came downstairs. He did the honours of picking up her exes box of crap. "Maybe I wouldn't have to be so over protective if someone knew their place," he started. "This isn't your home. You no longer live here. So don't show up uninvited," he hissed, shoving the box into Daniel's chest. The male stumbled back a bit and opened his mouth to say something although was cut off when Jared shut the door and locked it.
"Has he always been that much of a p***k?" He asked Layla in annoyance, holding the back of his head as he walked towards the kitchen. He hoped this headache of his wasn't the beginning of a migraine - Jared used to be prone to migraines, though now he only got them when he was stressed.

"You really don't have to do that you know." Layla told him, while following him into the kitchen. "Yeah." She answered when Jared asked if he has always been a p***k, it was true. Layla was in a constant bad mood when the two were together, she still wasn't sure why she dated him. Watching Jared hold the back of his head, she wondered what was wrong with him. "Are you okay? Need some Advil?" She asked while, opening the medicine cabinet in her kitchen, most people left their medicine in the bathroom but hers didn't have any shelves. Grabbing the bottle, she set it down next to her so she could start making a pot of coffee.
Taking a shower then making some coffee was her normal morning routine, although dropping a contact down the drain wasn't part of her plan. The thought of having to wear her glasses for a week bothered her. The longest she wore them now was a couple of hours not a few days. "How'd you sleep?" She asked.

" J A R E D xxV E N N E T T"If I'm gonna be your boyfriend when he's around, I might as well act like it," he said absently, sounding a bit irritated. He had already begun to look through the cupboards when Layla asked him what was wrong. "Yeah," he answered. Layla retrieved the bottle of Advil for him and he twisted the cap off, shaking two into the palm of his hand. He poured himself a glass of water before popping the pills into his mouth and downing them quickly.
Jared drank the rest of his water before putting the glass on the counter. "Pretty good," he said. "How about you?" He asked, noticing that she was wearing her glasses instead of her contact lenses. "Why aren't you wearing your contacts?" Jared asked curiously, adding, "I thought you hated those things." The male chuckled and leaned back against counter, crystal blue eyes following Layla around the room.
