Unsaid

Chapter 26

Lauren's POV

I woke up late, it was Sunday so yeah I could sleep a little longer. I took a bath; changed into my casual blue jeans and white shirt, tied up my hair in a bun and went downstairs.

Kaycee was having breakfast, as I joined her and sat on a stool at the end of the island. "Morning", she said in a sleepy voice.

"Morning sleepy head." I chuckled.

She gave me a look, whilst taking a bite of her sandwich, "What are you so happy for, this morning?"

"Um... for nothing." I shrugged.

"There is something fishy," , she said in a teasing monotone.

I rolled my eyes, "I'm just, casually happy."

"Mhm. When did Seth leave last night?"

I choked on my sandwich-the house keeper had to immediately give me a glass of water. I mumbled a thank you to her, I stared at Kaycee. She smirked. "How did you..?"

"My boyfriend is one of the best gossip queens." The end of her lips twitched up into a slight smile.

"Okay. But he isn't the reason I'm happy, it's Hayden."

"Girl you're playing with the brothers huh?"

"Shut up. Hayden texted me saying he would take me to lunch, where Seth would tag along."

"Great. I'll spend my day with Alex then." I nodded.

"Taxi!" I shouted. A yellow cab stopped in front of me, I sat in.

"Lucas Restaurant", I informed the driver. He nodded and drove away.

After few minutes, the cab stopped in front of a fancy restaurant, I paid the driver , then looked at the building-glancing down at my outfit afterwards. Okay, I looked fine, I didn't need a fancy dress to impress anyone.   

I saw Hayden as I entered the restaurant, he pulled me into a tight hug. I glanced around the room, it was huge, a single and elegant chandelier was hanging , just in the center of the ceiling. And what a vibrant room it was.

Hayden kept his hand on my waist, "Let's go." Out of nowhere, Seth appeared and he slapped  Hayden's hand off of me.

"Not your place," he growled.

Hayden stepped back, "Possessive much." He smirked at me. I rolled my eyes and gave Seth you-are-dead-later look. He ignored my facial expressions, and placed his hand on my waist.

"Mine." He smirked.

"Whatever," we walked up to the table. Hayden ordered the food for us.

Hayden was cracking lame jokes, on which Seth was going mad-because he was making me laugh. Bad boy was jealous.

"Alright, now Lauren, about that deal I offered you months ago." Hayden straightened up, and now he had a straight face too. 

I furrowed my brows, "What about it?"

"You're in, right?"

"No." I stated.

His jaw dropped, "But I thought that's the reason you're here."

"No, I'm here because I got an approval from a college over here."

"When?" Seth chipped in.

"Tuesday."

"So, you're going to college?" , this was Hayden. I put the forkful of food in my mouth and nodded.

"That's my girl." I glance at Seth and smiled.
