My Roommate is my Type? (Catradora Modern AU, SMUT heavy)

Chapter 37 : The Gig

Catras POV:

Arriving at the Peekablue Live House, I was surprised that it was a lot bigger than I had thought it would be. Lauren didn't mention that it had a large enough Dance floor for around 100 People "Doubt we gonna pull that many... hell, we had maybe 20 Fans back then, so 10 would be a good number" I thought as I got out of her Car. Our Band had only mild success but a few were distraught when we had to call it quits back then, showing their sadness and anger on message boards, Forums and online articles. I never understood why, since we were only a small hit, locally who had only a few original songs.

"There you are, slowpoke" Lauren greeted us with a cocky smile "Thought the idiot had forgotten about today"

"Screw you" Lonnie muttered and went inside, slamming the door shut behind her.

"She didn't take the whole rejection well, did she" I lit a cigarette, leaning against the Car door

"Eh, she'll get over it. Sorry that I have standards" Lauren shrugged

"Oh? So I would've passed those high standards?" I couldn't help but smirk

"...carefull, kitten or you're owner will get jealous"

"Owner... Really?" I asked with an eyebrow raised in suspicion of this being a joke or an insult

"If the shoe fits... yes, you're very attractive but I don't involve myself with people who have a lot of baggage and while a fling here or there can be nice, i'm tired of being Single"

"I hear you... so you never went for it because of Adora?"

"That and... let's just say that I doubted we could be "a thing" for long. The blonde can handle people like you better than I ever will"

"The fuck is that supposed to mean?" I could feel myself becoming agitated

Suddenly, Laurens face changed, displaying pain and melancholy "I'm just... looking for something different"

"Why do you sound as if you lost your big love and still aren't over it?" I asked with a grin but when she didn't answer and looked away, I figured out just quickly just how true that was "...for how long?"

"....8 years"

"Holy shit"

"Yeah... pathetic, isn't it?"

"I was going with "insane" but yeah, kinda. Not a bad thing though, being loyal and all..."

"She left me for a Man so screw loyalty there"

"Ufff..."

She sighed and leaned on the Wall to the store beside the bar. "We were too young and she had one of these disgusting Families that use their kids as security, you know?" I shook my head, lighting another cigarette "The kind in which the Kids are pushed into marriage and shit so they can have kids to be "secure" and to take care of the elders. I knew that going in but... I have a hard time finding someone because I always end up comparing. Ming didn't like that or Ming would've acted this way... I disgust myself with this shit but I just can't stop"

"So.. she's married?"

"Yeah. Has 2 Kids and long forgotten me i'm sure"

Somehow, hearing her say this so defeated, I could feel a cold shiver run down my back all the way to my tail "You never know..."

"Oh I know... ran into her about a year ago, introduced me to her Husband as "an old Friend"... and I hated how happy she looked. I wanted to look her Husband in the eyes and tell him that this "friend" made his Wife scream my name in minutes once when I was licking her...URGH" she got up and stretched "No... not going there now. Sorry for the long whine session... Let's pretend I never said anything here and go have some fun before I go drink myself to death at the Bar, okay?"
