Babysitter [COMPLETED]

[15]: Shocking Confessions*

"Lans! Lans! Slow down I can't run in heels." I frankly yell as I'm tripping on my own two feet trying stay close to Lans and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid.

"Jennifer leave me alone." he said in a 'don't mess with me' voice but I didn't budge... I'm stubborn, what can I say?

"No!" I shout.

I continued to follow him close to the exit in the building and right before I could leave to follow him out, someone grabbed me.

"What's going on?" Dave asked franticly.

"Please stay with your brother and sister, I need to calm your father down before I lose my job." I lie. The situation had nothing to do with my job but I needed some excuse to follow his dad alone.

I rush out the building to see him going in his car. I try my best to run as fast as I can in these heels without tripping and thankfully I made it to the passenger side.

I hop in and surprisingly he doesn't protest but what he doesn't do is give me a warning before he starts speeding out of the complex in lightning speed.

"Lans calm down." I say once I'm not able to read any signs on the road. That's how fast he was going. I see his face boiling with range and I don't know how to calm him.

'How do you calm someone when they just saw they're loved one cheat right in front of them?'

He almost didn't seem surprised by it, but just the image of it was what got him mad.

"Lans!" I shout once he swerves inches away from a car, "I don't wanna die."

"Then why'd you come?" He asked in fury.

"So you wouldn't either!" I shout. He glances my way for a split second and sees the fear in my eyes and starts driving slower. Within seconds his driving below 40.

I let out a breath and threw my self back on the chair.

A regular car ride back to the house would be twenty minutes or so but with the speed Lans was going, we got there in half the time.

He rushed in the house leaving me once again chasing after him in heels. Once I get inside I take off my heels and follow him upstairs.

I see him and Martha's room door open and walk in to see a empty gym bag on their bed and Lans coming out the closet with t-shirts and sweats.

I widen my eyes and make my way to Lans. "No, no, no, you're not leaving." he flinches my hand away from his sight and throws the clothes in. I take the the clothes out and go into the closet to put them back in. We do this a good two times before he stops me.

"I need to be away for one day, just let me be alone for one day." he argues.

"And then what Lans? You're still going to come back with the same problems."

"Then let me leave longer."

"NO!"

"Gosh Jennifer stop bossing your own boss around."

"I'll stop when he starts acting like an adult."

He stop fighting and just stood there thinking, looking into space. He rubbed his face and glided his hands through his hair before he started to pace around the room.

"I knew it this would happen again, I just fucking knew it." he mumbles while passing.

"Lans what are you talking about?" I cautiously ask so he wouldn't burst in rage.

"That dickhead and my wife have slept together before. Two years ago. I fucking knew letting them continue to work together was a mistake but I trusted her." he said putting so much emotion in the word 'trusted' that it made my heart break.

Is this what Travis was talking about when he said Lans and Martha had problems back then?

Martha cheated on Lans before? Is that why Lans looked angry when Martha was talking about marriage in the kitchen?

He walks over and sits on the corner of his bed with his elbows on his knees and his hands covering his eyes. I walk up to Lans bed and sit next to him. I rub his back comfortingly to try and calm him down.

"It's going to be okay."

"No it's not." he lets out. It was like he wanted to cry but he wanted to punch a wall too.

"Don't say that Lan-"

"We're both horrible people, Jenn."

"No you guys aren't." I protest.

"We both cheated. It's like we're both not capable of staying loyal and loving towards one another. "

"Maybe you guys just weren't meant to be." I whispered while looking down at him. Apart of me felt guilty because, if it wasn't for me ranting that night Lans took me out, he would've never kissed me and this whole situation would've been one-sided.

I looked up to see if Lans was okay and found him already looking at me.

"Stop feeling guilty." he said looking me deep in the eyes.

'Was it that noticeable of how ashamed I felt?'

"How can I not?" I scoff.

"You didn't do anything" he protest.

Honestly it was hard to believe I didn't have anything to do with this. Maybe not the whole Martha cheating part but Lans feeling like he's not capable to love his own wife because he cheated on her... With me. Even if we didn't have sex it was still something consensual that shouldn't have happened with him.

"If it wasn't for me rambling and telling you about me... You know....I would've never kissed you."

He chuckled and turned his head back to looking down at his feet for a brief moment. He looked back up again but into the painting on top of his dresser.

"Are you forgetting I was the one who told you to kiss me."

'I almost forgot'

"...w-why did you?" I mumbled playing with the tips of my fingers.

He turned his head to face me, "Because I wanted to.... I thought that maybe if I kissed you than I would feel something again... Something real. The moment I found out two years ago my wife cheated on me I stopped feeling the love I once felt in a women."

Really? He wanted to feel something with me?

"And... did you? Ya know, feel something again?" I asked shyly. This is the most vulnerable I've seen Lans before, I was being extra cautious. He waited a moment to think and it started to give me goosebumps every second that went by without him answering.

He turns to face me and stares deep into my dark chocolate eyes.

"I've never felt anything more real."

A/N

Ahhhhh. Are you second guessing Dave now?

Maybe, maybe not. I know I am.

I swear when I write I never know what I'm really writing until I finish and I'm telling you, right now I'm stuck between Dave and Lans again when just the other day I was #TeamDave

I swear yesterday I was like, 'Lans you got your women. Leave Jenn alone'.

But then I wrote this scene and now I'm like 'your women's right next to you'
