Wonder

Chapter 25

We were currently in Olivia's flat, having a significant reunion about Lauren's new album. Olivia and James were discussing freely and letting Lauren do whatever she desires with this album. Is her project, no one else. I'm just a co-writer, helping her around.

I smiled softly at myself, she's amazing. I renew distracting myself by doodling in my journal. I glanced at Lauren, focussing on the way she sat down, how her hand rested elegantly on the furniture while playing around with a pencil between her fingers.

She was maintaining a dialogue with Olivia, so I chose to illustrate these little details about her. I began lazily tracing patterns of her hands making a shape delicately to mimic Lauren's exact silhouette.

"I see you aren't listening to all" A voice startled me. I glare at James, proceeding with my drawing. "I am," I say fully knowing that I wasn't. "Sure, Y/N," He says patting my back. He peeks at my drawing, smirking slightly.

"No, don't you dare," I say looking at his smug face. He opens his mouth to say something but I shot him a deadly glare. He came closer to me, whispering "I need all the details, bestie" I rolled my eyes, drawing shaping details.

James sat down next to Olivia, with a smirk. Making the two women furrows their frown. Lauren glimpses at me, as I avoid her eyes focusing on the final details of my sketch.

Lauren stood up, walking towards me. "What's up?" She says sitting down next to me. I close my journal as quickly as possible. "Nothing," I mumbled taking a sip from my glass of water.

"Mmm," Lauren muttered, not believing me. She places a hand on my thigh under the table and starts caressing it. "Are you sure, baby?" She murmurs, her eyes full of worry.

I nod my head slowly, smiling a little bit. "I was just-" I tilt my head blushing and passing her my journal. Lauren furrowed her eyebrows, opening my journal to the marked page.

Her eyes roam around the sketch, a slight smile began to appear on her face. She looked at me adoringly, her eyes full of love. I blush even more, trying to play with my fingers to ease my nerves.

"This is gorgeous, Y/N" She communicates smiling. She leans in, kissing my cheek softly. "I wish I could kiss you right now, you look adorable" She whispers in my ear.

I glimpse around, meeting James' smug face. He wiggles his eyebrows making it worse. I glare at him, and he just poked out his tongue as an answer. He started to make some weird gestures with his fingers, my eyes widening when I saw he was interlacing his fingers like scissors. I'm going to assassinate him.

Lauren clueless postpones me from killing James with my eyes, as she snatches my pen from the table. "Could you sign this for me?" She asks with puppy eyes. I nodded my head, my eyes melting at her sight.

I autographed the drawing, ripping the page from my journal. "Here you go!" I say giving her the sketch. She giggles reading my note to herself.

For the girl who looks like a dream, and continues to steal mine with her bare hands,
Y/N.

"You are such a charmer," She says between giggles. I smirk, standing up from my seat. "That's what she says," I say out loud. Earning a loud laugh from Lauren.

"Girls, the food is here!" Olivia says from the dining room. Placing the bags from the delivery food. I think it's noodles? No idea.

We sat down on the sofa, enjoying the meal all together like old friends. I like this, this feeling of warmth and comfort with people who cares about you and loves you. Is just magical.

I took a deep breath thinking about my family. All the memories came back to me like flashbacks.

'Y/N, let's go' My little brother shouts, running ahead of me.
'Don't keep him waiting for so long' My father whispers to me sweetly.
I smiled at him, before running after my brother who was already at the garden playing with the ball.

'Pass the ball your little demon' I shout to him. He smiled cheekily, kicking the ball towards me. I stopped the ball, kicking it towards him. 'I bet you can't do this' He announces. He did a few tricks with the ball, making me smile softly. I went towards him. 'I can't do that but I can do this' I notify stealing the ball from him.

"Hey love" I heard Lauren whisper beside me, I look at her with questioning eyes. "We lost you there for a moment" She declares.

I nod my head shyly, "I got lost in my head, sorry" I say picking up a portion of my food. James looked at me with worrying eyes mouthing 'Flashbacks?' I nodded my head, struggling my shoulders lightly.

I noticed Lauren's hand when she started to caress my thighs softly. I smiled at the small action, moving closer to her. We were currently on the couch having lunch. "Should we watch a film?" Olivia suggest. We nodded our heads.

"What about Jurassic World?" I say with my mouth full of food. "You are obsessed with Claire Dearing," James says laughing. "I mean, she's kinda hot, plus a redhead," I defend myself. James laughed even more, "You and your obsession with redheads".

"Okay, so, what about Infinity War?" I say wiggling my eyebrows. "For Natasha Romanoff?" Olivia asked laughing. I nodded my head, "And Wanda" I added winking at her. Lauren looked at me rolling her eyes. I grinned at her like a child.

"Nah, let's watch Oceans'8. No redheads I promise" I announce. "But lots of hot milfs" I say to myself. "But there are no hot men" James argued. "No shh James, settle" I argue back. "Children, children, relax we watch this one, and the next one is of your choice James, c'est fini" Olivia indicates.

I poke out my tongue towards James, receiving the middle finger from him. I gasp dramatically before focusing on the film.

Lauren cuddles closer to me, laying her back on my chest, I embrace her with my arms bringing her closer, our legs tangled together.
I kissed the top of her head softly "I'm so into Cate Blanchett and Sarah Paulson" I say out loud. Received laughs from James and Olivia and a hit from Lauren. "Don't worry darling I just have eyes for you" I whisper.
