Lovers and Friends

Chapter 8

Lauren's P.O.V

I haven' t heard from Cody since the night of the party, two weeks ago, and I just cant seem to get him off of my mind. I thought we had something but I guess I was wrong. How could I be so stupid to fall for a guy so quick? Typical PLH guy. They hype you up and then let you down. Wonderful !

I sat up thinking about all the possibilities of things happening between us, scheming up scenarios in my head. It's just something about him. I can't believe this boy got me in my feelings already.

I didn't really feel like going to school, so I decided on just a casual laid back outfit. After I hopped out the shower, I slipped on my black and white Adidas joggers and a sweatshirt with my all white forces. Yeah I mixed brands, but I don't care.

I threw my hair up in a big sloppy bun, grabbed my gym bag and headed out the door. I hopped in my car and headed to school. I hoped that school would fly right by because I didn't feel like being bothered today.

"Hey Lauren"

"Wassup ma"

All these random people spoke as I was walking down the halls. I replied with a simple head nod and headed to class.

By the time lunch came, I was practically begging to go home. I just felt so incomplete and I didn't want to be here. But my hopes of going home early, quickly faded as I realized that I had dance practice today. Ughhhhhh. I wanted so badly to scream right here in the middle of the lunchroom. I grabbed my things and began to walk to the parking lot. I needed some fresh air.

I was so focused on getting away from there that I didn't noticed anyone behind me, until I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. I instantly started to freak out, kicking and screaming for my life.

"Calm down babe, it's just me"

I immediately calm down when I noticed that it was the voice that I have been longing to hear for the past couple of weeks. I turned around in his arms and smiled, until I suddenly remembered how he played me.

" First of all, I'm not your babe and second of all, you can get your hands off of me." I roughly ripped myself from his embrace and walked off.

"Just let me explain" He begged.

"Explain what. How you had me looking stupid. How you truly made me believe that you wanted me. How you led me on with yo lil sweet words and nice smile and dissed me for 2 weeks. Or do you do that to all the girls. Huh?" I yelled.

"It's not even like that, I promise" he replied.

"Well what the fuck is it like then?" I yelled again. I was pissed.

"Im trying to tell you. If you would just shut the fuck up and listen.!" He yelled back putting me in my place and secretly turning me on; but I wasn't about to let him know that. So I stood there with my arms crossed giving him the meanest look ever.

"I just had a lot of personal things going on with my family, that you probably wouldn't understand; but if you give me another chance I promise I'll make it worth your time. You're the most beautiful girl that I have laid my eyes on, and I just cant keep my mind off of you. Damn girl. I really like you and I promise I aint running game. Baby please. Just give me another chance to make it up to you"

He stared at my with pleading genuine eyes, and I knew that he was sincere"

I stood there for a second before giving him an answer.

" I guess you can have another chance" I laughed, turning off my hard girl act.

"Come here girl" He picked me up off the ground and kissed me just as passionate as the first time. With each second the kiss got deeper and deeper and I was beyond the clouds, once again mesmerized by his touch. We finally parted our lips after what seemed like forever and just stood there gazing deeply into each other's eyes.

"I'll see you later, ma" he hungrily bit his botton lip and walked away. I stood there in complete awe of what just happened. My phone vibrated, knocking me out of my trance.

"Dang ma, close yo mouth lol"

I covered my mouth and walked away, embarrassed by the fact that I probably looked like a huge creep standing there.

The rest of the day seemed to quickly fly by, which I was very thankful for. I walked into practice, and greeted my team.

" Alright you guys. Let's get a couple reps in, and get out of here"

They all sat there completely silent, just staring at me.

"What?" I asked

" Who got you feeling all good today. No laps. No exercise. Just straight reps. If it aint a boy, it must be a gift straight from GOD" Keisha, one of my teammates, blurted out.

I laughed. " Mind ya business and hurry up before I change my mind" I joked.

"Lets go ladies!"

After practice, I headed straight home and took a shower. As soon as I got out, my phone rung. It was Cody. I began to blush. Finally I can relax and talk to my baby.
