Working Out Through Trouble

Layla:

Layla and Dejah took an Uber out to IHOP that just opened up in the town over, they were having an early bird special and opened up at four a.m. they just got their last plate of unlimited pancakes when Layla turns her phone back one. While her phone was loading up, she ate her hotcakes in four bites. As she reached to pick up her orange juice her phone beeped reminding her of the text message she had. Picking up her phone still taking a sip of her juice, she unlocked her phone. As she read the message Layla spits a little juice on the table, Dejah laughs moving her last piece of pancake away and ask, “What has you all riled up?”. Layla looks up from her phone smiling and said, “That guy I met at the club Friday texted me last night”. Dejah smiles back at her and says, “this guy is amazing how did he find you so fast, he must be rich!!”. All the other customers was looking at Dejah as she looks down embarrassed, Layla covers her mouth and chuckles lightly. “That’s what you get for talking to loud, now everyone is in your mouth.” Dejah looks back up and shakes her head from side to side, “I’m not worried about them at the moment I am wondering what are you going to text back?” She puts her arms on the table while resting her chin in her palms looking at Layla to respond. Dejah looks at her phone again, she was planning to work out with Dejah before they went back home again. “Hi(send) I’m very surprised you found me so fast you have to be amazing(send) I’m planning on working out right now, but as soon as I get back to my place, I’ll call you”. Layla holds the phone up so Dejah can read the thread, it vibrates letting her know he texted her back, “Until then, beautiful”. Layla blushes a little while putting her phone down she remembers Dejah was texting her guy the other night, “Now it’s your turn show me what you’ve been saying.” She cackles were only Dejah can hear her, Dejah looks nervously around the room and leans forward. “You know my text are really explicit maybe you should change your mind, just know I have a date soon.” Layla looked at her best friend while laughing, “You nasty b***h! I’m so happy for you.” A big smile covers Dejah face, “Yea well we need to go ahead and get this workout done before I don’t want to do it anymore, I’m full”. She takes out her phone and orders an Uber. There was a driver twenty-five mins away, the girls order a refill of their orange juice while they waited to be picked up. Layla drunk her juice slowly while she thought about what she was gonna say to Ethan. Dejah noticed her deep in thought, “It’s ok Chica you don’t have to be so nervous just talked to him like you do with one of your clients, you will be comfortable and calm.” Layla smiled warmly at Dejah, “Thanks girl thinking like that actually calmed me down a bit.” They both drink the last bit of their juice as the ping goes off on Dejah phone, getting up they both leave five bucks on the table and get inside the car.

Pulling up to Planet Fitness, they get out the car and Dejah thanks the driver before getting out the car. “Thanks, you were very accommodating I’ll make sure you’ll get a good rating”, Dejah says stepping out the car. Walking in, they head to the locker room. Layla pulls two locks out her purse and hands one to Dejah they put their wallets inside and walk to the counter. Asking for a towel they both swipe their cards for entrance and payment of their towels. The girls both choose a treadmill and lightly jog for twenty-five minutes to warm up their bodies. Stepping off Layla wipes her brow as her and Dejah walk to the corner and pick up the twenty-pound weights. Holding one in each hand and they make their way in front of the mirror they start with lunges with their arms straight and the weights by their sides. Three sets of twenty lunges on each leg they moved to squats with the weights in front of them. As they were about to start their second set of squats two Bulky men walk by and stop behind them staring. One guy was average height with long hair and a big nose and the other was tall with small eyes and pale. Layla pushed through her set of squats and threw the weights down. Dejah tilted her head slightly to the right and looked them up a down, “Excuse me do you need help?”. Layla grabs Dejah by her elbow and walks toward the locker room, “Lets’ not tell those meatheads off that’s more trouble than it’s worth, now that our workout is ruined, we should run all the way home instead, grab you purse were gonna have to buy a drawstring bag lets’ get out of here”. Dejah pouted as she made her way to her locker and snatched out her purse, “Son of a b***h those motherfuckers are now on my bad side.” She said quietly as they both walk out the locker room up to the counter. Layla asks for two drawstring bags and hands one to Dejah, “Please let it go for now were not here with men and those idiots over there look like they don’t know how to take no for an answer”. Paying for the bags she grabs Dejah arm again and walks out the door. Dejah breaths out hard and ask, “Can we at least grab some water from the bodega?”. Layla looks at the expression on her friend face and busted out laughing, “Lets’ go so we can get this over with, of course I won’t let you dehydrate but your buying.” Layla wraps her arm around Dejah arm and pulls her towards the bodega, “You should get me a red bull and a bottle of purified water don’t get the name brand none of that water is actually purified, get the store brand.” Dejah shakes her head up and down as they walk in the store Layla browsed the magazines. Dejah walked to the back and grabbed two cranberry flavored red bulls and four bottles of the store brand water. Layla looked up from the magazine she was holding and briskly walked towards Dejah taking 3 of the drinks and walking to the register. Layla sits down the bottles and Dejah does the same, Dejah takes a twenty out her purse and hands it to the cashier. Walking out they open the red bulls and drink them down, trashing the cans. They begin to lightly jog towards the park.

Layla and Dejah had been running for twenty-four minutes when Dejah grasp for air grabbing for Layla. Bending over she looks up at Layla, “Can we have a water break. I feel as if we’ve been running for a half an hour!”. Layla places her hand on Dejah shoulder. Taking a deep breath herself, and says, “Go ahead and hydrate, and we’ll stop by the park too”. Layla slips a string from her shoulder and takes a bottle of water out. She tilted her head back and drank half of the water when the two big bulky guys from the gym approached them. “Well, well, well. Look who we have here, you beautiful ladies could have finished your workouts at the gym.” the pale guy with small eyes said. “Yea, all we wanted to do is watch you, your such beautiful humans. We were fascinated by you.” The other guy, who was dark tanned and a big nose spoke up, moving a little closer to the girls. The pale guy grabs Layla arm and says, “Why don’t you guys come have lunch with us?”. Layla tried to snatch her arm away, but he had a really good grip on her arm. Dejah tried to help her when the big nose guy grabs her by the hips pulling her closer to him, Dejah knees him in his sack as soon as she came close to his body. “Keep your f*****g hands off of me you motherfucking creep! I don’t belong to you!”, Dejah screamed at the top of her lungs. Thank God she had that water, her throat would have been too dry to cuss this fool out. The big nose guy screams and pushes Dejah so hard she traveled three feet back and was pushed into the wall of the business they were beside. Dejah hits the wall with a grunt, the wall cracking from the impact of her body sliding down to the ground with a thump. Layla screamed as she saw her best friend, her sister, her cousin being pushed backwards. She felt her body heat up like it did on the night of the full moon, her anger exploded, and she saw these guys' heads splatter off their bodies. Closing her eyes to take a deep breath, she felt this powerful surge rush through her veins, the big nose guy started screaming while backing up. He fell to the ground. Layla opens her eyes, and they were silver. She accepted this power flowing through her. The big nose guy started bleeding from his eyes and ears. The pale guy tried to squeeze Layla’s arm, but he felt like .he was being pushed back, so he held on tightly, so he didn’t fly away. His head felt like it was gonna be blown away from his body, so he tried to knock her out with his other hand. Layla blinked when she heard a man scream and runs towards them, grabbing the pale guy’s arm.
