Time Goes By [COMPLETED]

chapter 5

Lauren's POV

I opened my eyes slowly but closed them instantly from how bright the room is. Damn you sunlight. Weird.... usually Jonathan closes the curtains. I rolled over, expecting Jonathan's warm body on my left side, but no, I fell.

"AHHHH" I shut my eyes and screamed, waiting for the impact. But surprisingly, I fell on something softer than the hard floor. What the...? I opened my eyes and heard someone groan. I looked up and saw Cole's face, extremely close. I fell on her. Everything from last night came back like a flash. My mouth formed into an O shape.

Nicole's hands were on my waist, keeping me steady on her. She opened her tired eyes and looked around for a moment until her eyes landed on me. Our eyes made contact and for some reason, no one dared to move. Her hair looked like a bird's nest and her eyes were barely open. She looked like a lost kitten. She blinked a few times and studied my features. She looked so cute this close, I could see all her little things on her face. Her skin is clear and flawless, it made me jealous. Like how?!!!

My eyes averted at her lips and she glanced at mine. Our lips were so close, I could feel her breathing on my skin. Oh, shit. This can't be happening. Why am I moving closer? Why is she moving closer? No no no I'm losing control over my body.

Just then Matthew fell on my back, laughing his ass off. I was about to jump from surprise when Cole held my waist tightly, pulling me closer to her body. "NO Matthew... he'll get hurt." She said and I nodded.

She removed her hands from my waist and pulled Matthew from my back, carefully to the floor. I pulled away from her and stood up. I ran to the bathroom and locked the door. I leaned against it with my eyes shut.

Oh my god. I was about to kiss her. What is wrong with me? I have a boyfriend. A boyfriend that I love. Did I? No no no Lauren, you can't and won't have doubts.

I groaned and started doing my business. I took my time, not ready to leave the bathroom. I finished and took a deep breath, holding the door handle. Good thing the bathroom smells nice or I would've died. I opened the door slowly and saw Cole throwing Matthew in the air then catching him again. Matthew was smiling all the time. Giggling every once in a while.

Cole noticed me and smiled. Holy shit. I got out of her bedroom, fast. I must've looked like an idiot. My heart leaped in my chest when she smiled at me. I think I'm developing a crush on her. I just can't help it. She's nice, sweet and loving. I noticed all that from last night. This can't be happening. I have a boyfriend, which is her brother.

I went downstairs and heard Danielle scolding brad for farting in the kitchen. I saw red, when I remembered last night.

I entered the kitchen, revealing myself and looked at everyone of them with a murderous glare on my face. Everyone was silent. Well, except for brad who said "Hi." And waved.

"Lauren, Jonathan told us about what happened and we're truly sorry." Ashley responded cautiously, lifting her hands up as a sign for surrender.

"We were drunk and stupid." Jonathan continued, looking at me with regretful eyes. He was standing beside Danielle who shook her head up and down as a sign of agreement.

"Yeah... I mean, blame the alcohol, not us." Brad said while eating a carrot, munching on it happily. Danielle grabbed his throat, which made him choke. He spat and struggled to breath while holding Danielle's hand on his throat.

"You're not helping." She said, glaring at him and let him go. He took a deep breath and coughed.

"Fine. I forgive you" I paused. "But I will never be the designated driver ever again." I warned. "Why?" Brad said. I looked at him blankly. Is he serious?
