What!" My phone had been going off none stop for the past 30 minutes waking me up from my nap. I had hoped it would have stopped so I could go back to sleep but no
"Did you check Twitter or Instagram or anything at this point." My best friends voice came from the other end of the phone. She sounded panicked making me worried myself, is it another cheating scandal
"Is everything ok?" I was already getting nervous
"I mean," she started only to pause for a few seconds "no one's going to die." What kind of bullshit
"What happened!?" I didn't wait for her to respond. Pulling my phone from my ear I looked over the hundreds of notifications I had, what did Lauren do
It may be bad for me to automatically assume she did something but there is no other reason for me personally to be getting this many message
With a deep breath I opened Instagram scared of what I was going to find. It took a few seconds before I was greeted by a picture of the issue
"Lauren Michelle Jauregui Morgado!" I screamed jumping out of the bed looking at pictures and posts about it
Her fucking engagement ring
It's not like we were going to hide it forever. But we've been going strong for a solid three weeks with nobody finding out. We just wanted to enjoy the engagement with us and close friends and family for a bit longer
But noooooooo
I practically ran into the living room looking for her. Looking around I saw the little fucker sitting on the couch. She was sitting there frozen looking over at me with wide eyes and an awkward smile
"Lauren." I walked over to her slowly
"Love of my life." She slowly moved getting up and off the couch. As I came closer, she moved farther back, she knew she fucked up
"Would you like to explain?" She gave me a nervous smile
"I got you your favorite." She turned and practically ran to the kitchen
I huffed rolling my eyes but followed her none the less. She was standing at the counter opening a takeout box the smell of shrimp alfredo wafting into the air, my favorite. I narrowed my eyes watching as she got the food ready for me, she seemed sorry, and we haven't even talked yet
Watching her move around the kitchen had me calming down. Seeing her reaction, it was mostly some type of accident, an incredibly stupid accident but an accident none the less. Seeing that she already felt at least somewhat bad made me feel a little better, that sounds really fucked up
Snapping out of my thoughts I returned my attention to Lauren who had finished plating the food. She had placed it onto the kitchen table and was sitting at the table. Her lip was tucked between her teeth as she chewed on it nervously as tracking me as I took a seat in front of the food. I didn't say anything as sat down noticing that Lauren didn't have any food for herself.
"Are you not eating?" I asked before taking a bite of my food, damn that's good. Laurens brows furrowed before she looked down to my plate then the empty spot in front of her
"Oh," she mumbled seeming confused "I forgot to get myself food." she makes it so fucking hard to be mad "But!" she suddenly yelled making me jump "I got you peanut M&M's." before I could respond she jumped up rushing into the kitchen
She came back a second later with a Walgreens bag standing next to me as she dumped the contents of the bag out into the table. A fuckton of large bags of peanut M&M's fell onto the table making my eyes widen, shit man
"Laurne what the fuck?" I know she's sorry, and she should be, but fuck man that's a lot of candy
"Also," she once again disappeared into the kitchen once again returning this time with a gift bag "I got you a present." she dropped it onto the table next to my plate
She stayed standing next to me with a nervous smile on her face, with a raised brow I set my fork down onto the plate a pulled the tissue paper out of the bag. I then proceeded to pull five new records out of the bag, I mean I'm not going to complain about records. With a sigh I set the records to the side pushing all the M&M's with them
"Lauren-" before I could speak, she cut me off
"I'm sorry." she rushed out seeming already panicked "I didn't do it on purpose." she told me
"Lauren," I turned to her grabbing her hands "what happened." I'm not even mad at her anymore, her apologizing and gifts already won me over
"Ok so I was doing a live right and I was just talking to fans, and I moved my hair back and I forgot I had the ring on and then people started commenting about it so then I stopped the live and deleted it, but people had already clipped it and then they started posting about it and I couldn't stop it." she rushed the explanation out almost too fast for me to understand but i think I got the jist of it
"So, it was an accident?" she nodded making me sigh, ya I am still upset about the news getting out but it's not like Lauren did it on purpose "alright." I gently pushed her back into the chair next to me before standing up. Lauren watched as I walked into the kitchen staying seated
I grabbed a fork before walking back out and retaking my seat next to Lauren. I handed her the fork which she hesitantly took and shifted the plate in between us before I once again began eating the food. Hesitantly Lauren followed my lead and began eating with me
"So, I guess we should make an official announcement."
