The Judge

Chapter 9

The next morning
Hanks POV

I slowly get out of bed, leaving Y/n alone. I kiss her forehead before leaving the room and getting changed into some different clothes. I brush my teeth and do my hair and go and wake Lauren up," Hey baby, time to wake up." She opened her eyes and smiled. We both walked downstairs and I made her some breakfast and took out her outfit.

I packed her suitcase and put it in the trunk of the car." You ready?" I asked Lauren, she nodded and we both got in the car, heading to the airport. After a while we finally made it and I parked the car outside before stepping out, helping Lauren with her suitcase. She grabbed my hand and we walked into the airport," Ok, so when you see mom, what are you supposed to say?" I said, approaching security," Best vacation ever." Lauren said, looking at me." Yeah that's pretty good. Just don't over sell it. You know what I mean. Hi, thanks." A lady took Lauren's suitcase and helped her get ready for security.

I gave her the plane ticket and looked at Lauren," you gonna be alright?" She nodded before wrapping her arms around my waist," You'll be fine. You're something else." I lean down and hug her back, kissing the top of her head. She pulled away and began to walk away yet turned around and looked at me," Hey daddy. Best vacation ever." I smile and watch as she walks away. I sigh before heading back out to the car and heading home.

Y/n's POV

I was sitting down stairs when I heard the back door open and Hank step in," How was Lauren?" I asked, looking at tv." She's fine, she's probably boarding the plane right now." He said, sitting beside me." How you feeling about tomorrow?" I asked, as Hank put his arm around me making me place my head on his chest." As soon as it's over with, the better."
"Really? You not that fused about it?" I moved away and looked at him. He shrugged his shoulders and looked at me.

I nod and look away, until Hank places his index finger under my chin, making me turn back to him. We both looked at each other and I see his eyes flicker down to my lips before looking back into my eyes, keeping his finger under my chin. He moved closer to me, looking at my lips. I slowly moved closer to him until our lips passionately met. He moved his hand to my chin and pulled me onto his lap placing his other hand on my hip, I wrapped my hands around his neck and put my legs either side of him.

We stayed like this for a while before we both decided to pull away, catching our breaths back. We looked into each other's eyes, as I was still sitting on his lap." I- I'm sorry." Hank said, guilty." It's fine." We both smiled at each other," How about we go on a walk?" He said making me nod. We both stood up and left the house, walking down the road together. I was a little shocked about what just happened and what was gonna happen now.

Time jump

We had just gotten back from the walk and it was sorta awkward. I placed my shoes in the cupboard before walking upstairs and heading to Hank's room.

Hank's POV

I watched as Y/n went upstairs not saying a word, leaving me confused. Maybe it was about earlier. I sigh before taking my coat off and heading upstairs, I entered my room and seeY/n sitting on the bed, looking at her phone."Y/n?" I said, closing the door. She looked up from her phone yet didn't answer," Whats up?" I asked moving closer to her." Nothing." She said, looking back at her phone," Yeah." I move and sit in front of her," It's about earlier isn't it?"
"Maybe."
"What is it?"

She looked up at me before speaking," We've been friends for over twenty years and we've just gone and thrown it away."
"All because we kissed?"
"Well..."
"We can forget it ever happened if that makes you feel better-"
"No, I don't want to... I never knew you felt like that." I look down," How long?" She asked," It doesn't matter." She nods and looked down," At least you know now." I stood up and began to walk away until I heard Y/n speak." What now, then?" I look at the door for a second before turning around to look at her." We go around as normal."
