1 Week Later

I walked into the coffee shop more upbeat than previous days. I waited for Paul to come inside. When he got inside he went up to the counter to order.

Flashes of lights started up behind me. I looked outside to see paparazzi crowding the parking lot. Paul noticed it when he walked back with the muffins and coffee.

"This was suppose to be a good day" I groaned. Paul drank some of his coffee and then sat the cup down.

"We need to talk.." Not this conversation. Every since Paul made this decision about  moving to Cleveland, its been days filled with tension.

  "About what?." "Us moving off to Cleveland." "There's really nothing to talk about. You didn't talk to me about your decision, so there's no need to talk now."

"I'm looking at a suburban neighborhood right outside Cleveland. The schools are great-"

"There are great schools in Maryland! You're so confident in the Browns, but they've been going either 4-12 or 5-11 since like 2008!. And yes, I did look this up!"

"Lauren, I'm aware but I could-" "There it is again 'I', its always about you. You use to consider me a part of your life, now you just..." I shook my head and stared out the window.

Paul POV

I felt terrible.

I made this decision without her permission. But I knew the Ravens were most likely not going to resign me. There wasnt enough cap space.

"I really hate it" she said. I really hated taking her away from home, she loved Baltimore.

But it was also the place that caused her a lot of stress, especially Darrell and use to be Anthony, and her grandfather etc. Cleveland was a new start.

She finished eating her banana-nut muffin and stood up. "You ready to go?." She nodded not saying anything.

I pulled her over to me. "I don't want us to be on bad terms the rest of the day, okay?." She nodded again, but she still looked sad.

A tear wiped fell from her eye but she wiped it away. "Lauren-" "Can we go now?." I grabbed my keys and stood up.

"Yeah." I led her through the crowd of paps and fans, who were asking questions and taking pictures. There was more than usual this time.

I could hear Lauren whimper behind me. I turned around and saw how scared she looked with all the paps and fans closing in on us

. I pulled her closer to me and walked through the crowd even faster.

I got her into the car and she just did not look like she was in a good place right now. 'Damn it.'

My POV

I put my seat belt on and rested my head on my hand. I didn't want to talk to anyone right now. I closed my eyes trying to soothe my minor head ache.

"I want to go to my Aunt Mary's house" I told him. My Aunt Mary always made me feel better. "Now?." "Yes now."

We took the highway to Townson, and arrived at my Aunt  Mary's.

I opened the door to be met face to face with Kirsten and Kyle. "We were just coming to see you.." she trailed after seeing my face.

She glanced over at Paul, then back to me. He pulled me to the side. "You aren't still mad, are you?."

"No" I faked a smile. "I understand, and support you one hundred percent." He looked taken back. Kirsten came over and put my arm around my shoulders.

"We have to catch up" she told the men, as we went inside. They stayed outside, talking about guy stuff.

Once I greeted my uncle I found out my aunt was at the store picking up a few things and wouldn't be back soon, Iwent where Kirsten and Kyle were staying.

"Fucking stupid ass nigga!" I snapped, flopping down on the bed. "Language!" Kirsten reminded. She sat on the bed next to me.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked. "Life. Paul and I have been having same argument for a week now."

"The argument about moving? You looked so happy about it outside..You said you supported him and everything." I crossed my arms. "I was fucking lying, I can't believe he ran off and made this decision without me."

"That was kinda messed up." "It was fucked up" I corrected. "Do you have to curse every time you say something?."

"No, but I'm mad. And what's so wrong with cussing?." "It's for people that don't know how to express themselves in a well-mannered way."

"Kyle doesn't cuss?." "No, well at least not in front of me." I laughed. "You two are the most innocent people ever!."

She got slightly annoyed. "I bet you two are waiting for sex after marriage" I joked. She looked away. "You guys did it?!."

Paul POV

"You guys did it?!" I heard Lauren screamed, as Kyle walked and I through the dark hallway. He was about to talk knock on the closed door when I stopped him.

"They're talking about us" I whispered, trying to listen in on the convo. "Isn't it wrong to eavesdrop?." I chuckled.

'Does this kid really play fullback?.' "Well Kyle was really gentle and slow the first time. He was so scared he was going to hurt me.Every five minutes he would ask me 'Are you okay?' or 'Does it hurt? Should I stop?'." I could hear the girl's giggles.

"When Paul and I did it the first time it was in his dorm, kinda trashy I know? But it didn't hurt, even though he was way bigger than guys I had been with. It was amazing."

I mentally puffed up my chest. I am pretty good in bed.

"But never, and I mean ever have angry or mad sex. It might feel good for the male, but for women, walking becomes a challenge."

"Kyle never gets mad though." "When Paul and I got together, we were just like you and Kyle. Just not as innocent" Lauren joked.

"Ha, ha, ha, very funny" Kirsten responded. "But really, life was so much easier without the fame." "Your relationship has been pretty rocky lately."

"Some of the problems in our relationship I've caused, but what he did with the whole Cleveland thing, him making decisions for me..It just reminded me too much of Darrell..."

I couldn't listen to the conversation any more, so I knocked on the door. Kirsten opened it. "Yeah?" I was wondering if Lauren was ready to go.."

Lauren walked to door. "Yeah." "We should go out on Saturday, I'll text you and Lyndsey the dets(details)."

"Alright" Lauren hugged her Kyle and we said bye to her uncle. How was this whole situation going to work out?
