Work Friends {STAUREN} (DISCONTINUED FOR NOW)

Night Out

*Steven POV*
Here I was, sitting across from the most gorgeous girl. My girlfriend, my child's mother, my everything.
"Why are you staring at me?" Lauren asked as she took a bite of her soup.
"You have a little bit of cheese of your lip.... From the soup." I said and she quickly wiped her mouth.
"Thanks." She said smiling at me. "Thanks for dinner, for everything."
"You're very welcome." I replied. It was nothing major. It was a little restaurant in Georgia. It was nice. No paparazzi, no nonsense.
"So....." Lauren stated. We had been having a quiet meal, there wasn't much to discuss between us.
"Yeah?" I asked chewing on a piece of bread.
"Are we actually going to take that trip to Europe? I mean I really want to but if you don't I totally understand." She said and I nodded.
"No! I really do! Why don't we go next week? We can head back over to LA for a bit then leave for Europe." I said.
"Italy first?" She asked.
"Italy is definitely first." I said.
"Yay!" She said with a laugh as she drank her soda.
"This is nice." I said.
"Us not talking much?" She joked.
"No just US. Together." I said and she smiled.
"Yeah. No walkers chasing us down." She smiled and I smiled too.
"That's so true." I laughed.

*after dinner; Lauren Pov*
We walked hand in hand back to Steven's car.
"So who's apartment are we staying in this time?" He asked opening the car door for me. I slid into his car.
"How about mine?" I said and he nodded.
"Sounds good." He replied kissing me.
He started the car and headed for our apartment building.
"Why don't we get our own place?" I asked.
"That's a good question." He said. "Maybe we should, I mean we are having a baby."
"Maybe we should do that before we leave for Europe." I suggested.
"Yeah! It's just what do we want? I have money but not a lot. I'm only worth 1.5 million." Steven said with a small laugh.
"I know, I made a lot of money this year. I could just buy the house." I said and Steven narrowed his eyes.
"No." He said. "I want to pay for half of it. I know you make more money than me but I want to provide for my family."
"Steven be reasonable. I'm not going to make you go broke for something I wanted to do. We still have a trip for Europe planned too." I said.
"Lauren I want to take you to Europe. I don't want you to pay." He said.
"Then I'll buy the house." I said.
"No! You're not listening to me." He said getting annoyed and I was too.
I make more money than him, especially since The Boy came out. I've also been acting for way longer than he has.
"Then what are you saying?" I asked.
"I'll pay for Europe. I'll pay for half the house." He said.
"No, I'll pay for half of Europe and half the house. We split it down the middle." I said.
"Lauren I want to do something nice for you." He said raising his voice.
"Well you aren't!" I said.
"I'm trying not to get angry right now." He said. "I want to do something for you because I love you."
"You already have done so many things for me. I want to return the damn favor and get us a damn house." I said.
"We'll talk about this later. I hate arguing and driving." He said.
"There's nothing to talk about Steven. 50-50! Half and Half. That's the way it's working."
"God damn it Lauren." He said.
"Don't god damn me. That's how we're doing it. End of discussion Steven." I said and he sighed.
"Fine. We'll go half and half." He said. "But what if I can't afford my half? What kind of boyfriend and father am I if I have to have my girlfriend buy us a home?" He said.
So this is about being manly. Providing for a family, that stuff.
"You'll be a perfect one. It doesn't matter that I make more. I've been doing it longer. That's ok. So what?" I asked and he nodded.
"I haven't really been pursuing anything else besides TWD." He said.
"Let's just stop talking about it. We can discuss it tomorrow or on our plane back to LA." I said and he nodded. The car was silent again.
I don't know if that was a fight. It sounded like a small argument that didn't really get heated. If that's how we fight about than that's pretty damn good. I still hate it though. I hate talking money with him. He knows I make more. That doesn't hurt him he just wants to be the "man". The man works and buys everything the family needs. I get that he wants to fulfill that role but I don't want him too. I've always liked being fair.

We pulled up to our apartment building and silently made our way into my apartment. I dropped my purse and headed to my bed room. I unzipped my dress and felt hands wrap around my waist. Steven's hands laid flat on my stomach and I sighed.
"I'm sorry." Steven whispered kissing my neck. I moaned and bit my lip. How can he irritate me one second and make me melt the next? I turned around and locked my lips with his quickly unbuttoning his shirt. He unzipped the rest on my dress and helped me pull it over my head. I unzipped his pants and he kicked them off excitedly.
We breathed for a few moments and looked at each other. He was already rock hard. I ran my hand along his chest and down to his bulge. He closed his eyes and moaned. He quickly unlatched my bra and I kicked off my panties. He threw off his boxers and then..... we made love.
The only thing I could say was "Steven." It was the only thing I ever wanted I say.
Steven.

Sorry for not updating!
Hope you liked this chapter. I wanted to make them "fight" because that's what real couples do.
Bye!
