My Best Friend (Lauren Jauregui / Fifth Harmony Fanfic)

Chapter 10

Q&A at the end in the A/N!

"So when do you leave?" I asked as I played with Lauren's hair.

She sighed. "We leave Friday."

"So we have six days together," I said. "Minus the eight hours a day I'm at school." I did the math in my head.

"I won't see you for forty hours this week due to school. So we have less than 132 hours to spent together."

She raised an eyebrow. "Wow," she said. "That was fast math."

I shrugged. "I enjoy math."

She smiled. "That's good Emily."

I returned the smile and let go of her hair, falling back so from my waist up, I was off the couch.

"Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one night stand
But I still need love love 'cause I'm just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?"

I flipped off the couch and stood up, offering my hand for her to take. The oldest sister smiled and took my hand and joined me in singing.

"Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

I stopped singing and let Lauren. We both smiled but for different reasons. She was smiling because of the way we were dancing: we were holding hands and she was spinning me around and I spun her around once. I was smiling because her soft, raspy, rough yet feminine voice filled the room. I loved her voice; I think it's absolutely amazing.

Why am I so emotional?
No, it's not a good look, gain some self-control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt

Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

  Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

I joined in with her for the last verse before we stopped dancing.

  Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

We laughed and I hugged her once more.

We heard clapping which caused us to separate.

"You two are so cute together," our mom gushed. "Honey, take another picture."

"Got it," he said and Lauren picked me up. Before he took the picture, I quickly turned my head and planted a kiss on Lauren's cheek. I felt her smile and that made me giggle.

I pulled back and she squeezed me tightly.

"Wait," Lauren said. "How many pictures did you take?"

They smirked and went with a very vague answer. "Enough."

She smiled and rolled her eyes. "Send them to me?"

Our dad nodded.

"We're going to the store. Taylor won't be back until later tonight and Chris will be home in about two hours," my mom said.

We both nodded.

"Have fun," Lauren smirked and the older woman glared at her daughter.

"Lauren Michelle!"
