Shampoo

A/N Hi I'm alive, probably will drop off this book for a little while longer though as I finish off my many unfinished oneshots, just a patch of writers block is all, well and some other personal things but anyway hope you enjoy.

"Well done everyone" Nick exclaims as the music stops, finishing off the rehearsal of starship. He glances down at his watch, "great rehearsal guys, you can all have an early mark."

Cheers erupt from the cast and distant plans are made for the rest of the day, Lauren walks away from the group over to her bag, grabbing it from the floor she begins to make her way to the exit. She loved these people but tonight she was not in the mood for a party, or whatever they planned on doing.

Joey's eyes immediately went to Lauren as Nick called it a day, well to be truthful they had barely left Lauren the whole day. He watched as she picked up her bag slinging it over her shoulder and made her way towards the exit, Joey immediately raced to his bag then to her side.

"Hey Lo" he says breathlessly as he reaches her, she doesn't even turn her head, "hey JoJo" she replies halfheartedly.

Lauren didn't feel like hanging out with anyone at the moment, but within her she didn't hate the idea of hanging out with Joey.

"Hey Joey" she says slowing down her pace.

"Yeah" he replies slowing down also.

Lauren takes a breath before continuing, "do you wanna come over to mine and watch a movie?" She takes another breath and holds this one.

Joey lets go of a breath he didn't know he was holding, "sure" he says trying not to let his excitement show too much.

He smiles down at her and she smiles back for a second before turning back and picking up her pace slightly, Joey follows suit and soon they are both sitting in her car.

Lauren makes the popcorn as Joey prepares the movie and soon enough they both end up on the couch with a good friends distance apart from each other. That however doesn't last long.

Lauren feels her eyes fluttering shut as her head rests on Joey's chest, Joey meanwhile has his hand resting on Lauren's shoulder, mindlessly drawing shapes into the fabric of her shirt.

Without thinking Joey says aloud "I don't like the smell of your new shampoo."

Lauren's eyes snap open and she tenses her body, Joey immediately realises his mistake and removes his hand from her shoulder moving it to the back of the couch awkwardly.

"Uh, I mean- Uh not in a- not in a weird way" Joey rambled on, not helping his case. Lauren laughed at him.

"You're cute" she said smiling up to him before resting her head back on his chest like nothing had happened, Joey however sat shocked at the scene that had just occurred, how could she be so okay after that while he felt he had just run a marathon.

Things remained the same between Joey and Lauren after their night together, all awkwardness forgotten. Although Joey did notice the smell of Lauren's shampoo go back to his favourite strawberry scent.

A/N I don't think I've said this before, but I don't have a sense of smell so I have no idea what I'm talking about but anyway hope you enjoyed.
