Secrets (On hold)

Chapter Nineteen

*One Week Later*

*Lauren's POV*

"So how was Ireland? Tell us all about it!" I twirl around the straw in my cup, sitting with Hannah and Serena in a corner cafe.

Serena just got into town after visiting Niall's family with him, then going to visit her family. We are in the last two days of break before everyone heads back to tour, so things are getting pretty hectic.

"It was great. Niall's family is a blast, and it was great to see my family. The only problem was Niall and I haven't been getting along all that well lately." Serena sighs, her green eyes flickering back and forth between Hannah and I.

We are sitting at a table in the back corner of the cafe, not many people have said anything to us, but we caught a few girls taking pictures through the window a little earlier. It was rather creepy.

"What's wrong? Why are you fighting?" Hannah asks, running her fingers through her short blonde hair.

"I don't know, but it's caused us to not... You know." Serena blushes and looks down at her drink. "Do you think that could add to the tension?"

"I don't think sex has anything to do with fighting." I blurt out, and then take a sip of my mocha. I feel Hannah looking at me and turn to see her glaring. "What?"

"I think it probably does. Ignore Lauren I don't think she's a good source for that." Hannah rolls her eyes and Serena smirks at her.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I glare at Hannah.

"How long have you gone without having sex?" Serena asks arching an eyebrow.

Ohhhhh...

"Months. I don't just sleep with random men." I reply, feeling more than a little offended.

"She means while being with Harry." Hannah rolls her eyes as if I should know.

"When Harry and I are apart it's been 3 weeks. Maybe longer." I don't exactly keep track.

"Yes, but when you are constantly together?" Hannah presses me.

"I'm not sure..." I feel a blush creep across my cheeks and I look away from their gazes. It's none of their business.

"And there you have it!" Hannah giggles and Serena laughs along with her.

"What are you implying?" I ask, raising my eyebrows.

"Nothing! I was just saying you can't tell Serena that sex isn't her problem because you have sex constantly so you don't know."

"Oh." I find myself looking away from my two friends again.

"What do you think I should do?" Serena asks us desperately.

"Shag!" Hannah responds.

"Buy some lingerie." I laugh but Serena looks curious.

"You think I should?" Serena asks and I open my mouth to respond but Hannah does first.

"It could be fun! I've done it." Hannah smile proudly. "Let's go buy some!"

"Okay..." Serena nods her head unsure.

"By the way Lauren..." Hannah turns to me, "How did those cutlets work?"

"Cutlets?" Serena smirks at me and I laugh.

"They were good! Until Harry tried to take off my dress."

"After the wedding?" Hannah asks curiously, Serena gives me a knowing smile.

"Not exactly..." I mutter and quickly take a sip of my mocha so I don't have to conitune.
