chapter fourteen

Steven's P.O.V
Lauren was feeling a lot better, which was all I could ask for. She was starting to want to actually go out instead of laying in bed all day. For some reason, when I went food shopping, she wanted me to get butter and eggs. They are two messy foods. In Lauren's hands, they wont last to minutes before being everywhere. Don't get me wrong I love Lauren to BITS but she is sooooo messy with food it's unbelievable.
I got back to Lauren's apartment and I see her appear from a different room.

"You get 'em?" She asked extremely excitedly as she approached.

"Uhh, yeah why?" I asked back confused by her excitement.

"Because!" She runs in the kitchen with me following not far behind.
She climbed on the counter to reach the highest shelf in one of the top cupboard. She grabbed some flour and sugar then jumped back down.

"What's all this for?" I guessed why but still.

"I wanna bake some cupcakes! I haven't done it in a while so I thought it'd be fun." She said still excited by the idea.

"Yeah and it'll be a mess." I wasn't dissing the idea, I'm just a joy kill.

"Aww, come on, please?"she was practically begging now with her fingers interlocked together. "Pretty please?!"

"You know if you put pretty in front of the please it doesn't--" I stopped talking as I saw her standing with an eyebrow raised. "Ok, ok let's bake some cupcakes" ok, I actually really wanted to bake the cupcakes from the beginning but I would seem like a four year old.

About half an hour went by, and everything was in the electric whisker. The flour and eggs were just sat on the top, which meant it would go everywhere. Lauren was just about to press the button as I got closer...

"Lauren wai--" is all I could say before she turned it on and flour went all over...
Me.
Lauren starts bursts out laughing as I stand there with flour, egg and the other ingredients all over me. I did say, when cooking with her, there's bound to be a mess. I stud waiting for her to calm down a bit, while she was still laughing but no mixture went on her. I had to change that.

"You know Laur, I really love you and--"

"Oh, no! Don't even think about it" she starts to back away knowing what I was gonna do. But before she could move too far away, I hug her tight so she had the ingredients all over her too.

"Eww, this is so gross!" She laughed. There was egg on my shoulder so, what does she do? She picks it up and puts it in my hair. Just like Maggie did to Glenn but not has violent and with no shell.

"Oh. So that's how it's gonna be, huh?" She smiles and nods at my words. I put my hand in some flour and put it in her hair. As we stand in the messy hug, we laugh at how dirty everything is. I step back out of the hug, but to only slip on the floor. Since I was holding Lauren's hand, I drag her down with me as she lands on top. Her fall was cushioned. Mine wasn't.
We just laid there. Staring into each other's eyes. Laughing but it soon faded into silence. Until I broke it.
"God, I love you" I said. All she did was laugh. "You know we should probably clear all this up"

"Way to kill the moment, Steve" she said as she stud up wiping flour off of her jeans, followed by me doing the same.

"That was a moment, huh?" I said as I pulled her closer to me and she wrapped her arms around my neck. Before I knew it she kissed me.

In that moment, everything was perfect. Not the kitchen, not how we looked, definitely not the cupcakes, but us. Me and Lauren were perfect.
