3. Date with my enemy

THE GIF: When you meet Lauren at the bar, this is how she looks.

Your POV

I don't even know why, but I felt kind of nervous a few minutes before meeting Lauren. I mean, I know I was just gonna give Lucy's sweatshirt back but, I felt weird seeing Lauren after the few texts she sent me, she really hates me. I totally get why she does tho. I broke her best friend's heart, but I swear I'm not a bad person, and some part of me wanted to prove it to Lauren.

I met Lauren a few times. The first time was at Lucy's, I remember knowing from the first look that she won't like me. Of course, she was polite, she said hello and she introduced herself.

« Hi, I'm Lauren. I'm Lucy's best friend. » she said, with her raspy and soft voice.

And I was standing in the middle of Lucy's room, like an idiot. I don't know if that was the fact that she intimated me or just the fact that she was absolutely gorgeous. I was dating Lucy for a month, maybe less. That day, Lauren was the sweetest person with me, and I thought that maybe I felt wrong and maybe she would actually like me, but after a couple of days, she started to act different, as if she became another person. At first, she stopped talking to me and laughing with me like she used to, and then she was acting like she saw me cheating on Lucy. One day, she even said to her « your girlfriend is way too close to the other girls, just saying. » and I thought, what a bitch. I never cheated on Lucy. Never. I gave up on Lauren a long time ago, I knew we would never get along. Maybe I did something, maybe I'm crazy...or maybe she is.

Why am I so damn nervous?

I quickly dress up and put my make up on, then I take my keys before leaving the house. I was so stressed that I was about to forget the sweatshirt. I really would have looked stupid without it. Damn, breathe Y/N. I drove to the bar. Actually that was my favorite bar, it was calm, peacefull but cool at the same time. Everyone was nice there, and I had all of my friends always going there once a week. This is the place I met Lucy for the first time...My best friend, Zayn, introduced me to her.

I asked Lauren to come there because I knew none of my friends where there tonight. I didn't want them to see me with her, they would think I'm trying to date her or something.

I get insade the bar, I immediatly recognize the song, "Perfect" by Selena Gomez. I love that song. I didnt even get the time to check for Lauren that Ally, the "barman", came to me, a little bit excited to see me, as usual. She kissed my cheek to greet me.

"Y/N! What are you doing here? I didnt expect you. You want something to drink?"

"No, thank you sunshine. Have you seen Lauren?"

"Jauregui? So, you two are seeing each others? Y/N, that's a bad idea, you dated her bestfriend and.."

And as usual, I had to stop her from talking. Ally was the sweetest person I've ever met, but I had to admit, she was hard to handle sometimes.

"Ally"

"Mh?"

"I'm not seeing Lauren, I'm giving her somethig back. That's all."

"Oh" she said, calming herself down. "Perfect then. Lolo is over there"

"Lolo..." I said, making fun or Lauren's nickname and walking toward the place Ally showed me with her finger.

There she was, Lauren Jauregui. I have to admit, this bitch looked so damn fine. She had this black jacket and her hair were probably not done, it looked like she just woke up but I liked how she looked. I'm not even going to talk about this top she was wearing... Well, actually I am. She had this white top, and I could see her stomach. It made me feel some type of way.

"Hi, Lolo." I said, still laughing and leaving the bag with Lucy's sweatshirt on the table.

"Lolo? There is only two people calling me Lolo in this planet and you're none of them."

"I wish I was one of them, that's my biggest dream" I said ironicaly.

"No way. Thanks, for...that." she takes the bag and was on her way to leave, already.

"Wait!" I called her.

I don't even know why I didn't let her leave. She stayed a couple of seconds turning her back to me but when I was not saying anything, she finally looked at me.

"What?" she asked.

"Now that we're both here... Maybe we could drink something."

"You're kidding me, right?"

"Do I look like I'm kidding?"

She didn't answer me, so I teased her.

"Are you scared you might fall for me, Jauregui?"

"There is no way... oh Lord, no way that I could fall for a girl like you."

"A girl like me?" I asked, sitting on the chair behind me, with a smile on my lips.

She didn't answer, once again, and looked at me like she knew she would take that drink with me.

"Ally" I said louder, "bring me two beers, babe"

I heard Ally screaming "OKAY!" but didn't really payed attention to her since I was still staring at Lauren, right into her green eyes. So was she. I don't know if that was a smile in the corner of her lips, but it was something.

After what felt like an eternity, Lauren sat in front me. And for the first time, I thought she was going to say something nice to me.

"I hate the hell out of you." she said so softly. I bet she says "I love you" the exact same way.

I thought.

"But, why?" I started, "I mean, come on Lauren, you liked me the first day you saw me, you can"t deny it. We were having so much fun and we had this long conversation about how "The 1975" were the best."

I stopped talking because Ally was bringing us the two beers I ordered. I immedialy paid.

"You don't have to" she said, trying to give 5$ to Ally.

"I insist", I said seriously.

Ally took my money and left.

"Thank you."

"Answer me."

"What do you want me to say?" she said, a little bit pissed off. She clearly didn't want to answer.

"Why did you changed your mind about me?"

"Look, I was just being polite the first day"

"You're lying"

She drank a sip of her beer, not looking at me anymore. I could tell she was uncomfortable.

She was about to answer when I saw two of my friends coming to us. Shit. It was Zayn and Alex. The last one had a crush on my since we were 7. He's a nice boy, but I don't think he'll ever get that I'm mostly gay.

"I introduce you to a girl and you flirt with her best friend, what a mess you are" Zayn teased me, I saw from the corner of my eyes that Lauren smile, looking at her feet.

"Zayn, shut up"

"I was just kidding, chill"

"I'm serious, get out!"

"You know what? Doesn't matter, I'm leaving" Lauren said, getting up from her chair.

"No, don't" I grabbed her by the arm

"I got things to do"

She was different since our little conversation. Her voice was softer and she seemed...nicer, so fragile. That was not the Lauren I knew.

"Please, stay", I almost begged her, "Just 30 more minutes, and then I'll leave you alone."

She thought for a minute, but then finally gave up.

"Okay."
