Steven stood up and went to Mick and Tom. They started talking about the show that Friday. Tom excused himself to get dressed. Mick got more coffee and opened the door.
“Joe! You made it!” Mick exclaimed.
“Yeah, man. This weather is a bitch.” Joe said.
“Well, come on in. I just got us coffee.”
“I’d love some!”
Joe and Mick returned. Steven was still sitting in his chair looking at Lauren.
“Hey, man.”
“Hey.” Steven said.
“I’m glad I’m not alone” Joe said.
“Well, you wouldn’t have been.” Steven said
“Nope,” Mick continued. “I have two guests. One of them is getting dressed.”
“The other one is over there.” Steven said. “She’s not doing too well.”
“Steven, no.” Joe said. “Don’t get wrapped up in this.”
“Too late, Joe. This goes to my heart.”
“Whatever dude.”
The boys talked for awhile about the show, the holiday’s and family. I have to get up. I need rest. My head needs to stop racing. Lauren got up slowly. She pulled her sweater down, put her arms in the sleeves and walked over to the boys. They stopped talking. Lauren looked for Steven. Steven was sitting on the couch. He looked slightly to his left. Lauren slowly walked over. She grabbed a pillow and sat next to Steven. He put his arm around her and she fell on his chest.
His heartbeat is so calming, but I don’t know him. Lauren calm down, just shut up. Steven just held Lauren while he was talking to the boys. Steven and Joe were talking when the doorbell rang. After a few minutes Mick returned with three men. They looked like snowman.
“O My God. Guys what happened? Come get some coffee.”
“What’s that?” Brad said as he looked at Lauren.
“That’s the result of a bad night.” Joe said
“More like a bad month.” Mick said.
“What?” Tom said. “A bad month?! Really?”
“Well, I don’t think I’m the one to tell.” Mick said.
I don’t want them to know, nobody can know. I need a shower.
Lauren stood up. Not looking at anybody. She walked toward the stairs.
“Honey, where are you going?” Mick said
“Shower.” Lauren said in a soft voice.
“Okay, you need anything?”
Lauren shook her head and walked upstairs where she met Tom.
“I’m going home.” He said. “My wife needs me with the kids.”
Lauren looked at him and nodded. How the hell did this happen. Lauren took of the shirt and pants she got from Mick. I don’t have any clothes.
“You going to be okay here?” Tom said.
Lauren nodded.
“You know you can reach me whenever right. I just hope you don’t let the shock consume you. Don’t be ashamed. You’ve done nothing wrong. Remember that.”
Lauren nodded and gave him a hug.
