Chapter 17

Taehyung's POV

On Los Angeles soil again. Back on campus. Back to my Valerie. This morning was very.. I can't explain it.

**
Earlier in morning

She lays closer to me in the bed. Her skin against mine, the remembrance of last night. I was unsure if it was a possibility that I was intoxicated. But everything I could remember made me realize I wasn't drunk at all. I had done everything voluntarily.

In fact, last night was all me. She did nothing to me, I did everything to her. The way I touched her, felt her, even... Tasted her.

I don't know what was going on in my head. But knowing that she was hurt, it made me realize that she did all this sleeping around because she felt that if people knew what she went through, she'd be judged. And in a way I could relate. Obviously not the sleeping around.

After the band break up, I felt that if people knew about my past if be judged. I wanted her to feel something that wasn't done because she was forcing it.

And now I lay here with her against me. In her old bed when she used to live here. Our clothes on the floor, scattered. The blankets everywhere like a storm rolled on into the room during the night, ripping off our clothes. She kisses my cheek softly, like last night had brought us closer together, or maybe it did. What was this feeling I was having? Regret? Something more? Lust?

Valerie. Last night had changed how I saw a lot of things. How I probably ruined the plan. How was I going to explain myself to her? How could I kiss HER after this? How would it be between us? How can we be together after?

"What are you thinking?" She asks. I look at her. She grins slightly but you couldn't quite tell, then it goes away, the corners of her lips dropping. "Regret.." She says. I blink a couple times. I shake my head before I answer.

"Taehyung it was a complete pleasure to meet you. I'd hope to see you again, son." I felt my stomach drop, he just called me son. "It was a pleasure to meet you too sir. And I hope you had a great birthday." I grin. "I really did, thank you. Everyone had such great things to say about you. That you were a great guy for my baby Lauren." I nod.

"Its really an honor to hear that, sir." I smile. He pulls me into a tight hug. His hand patting my back. The embrace was strong, like he had positive feelings about me staying with Lauren. It was guilt that ran over me. He pulls away. "You two have a safe flight." He nods. I shake his hand that he stuck out. "Thank you, sir."

I turn and right away her mother is hanging on me. My hands stick out frozen on each side of me, I don't know whether to hug her or not. Her hands smack my butt, making me jump. Without time to move away, her hands squeeze tightly, my breath hitches. "Jewel. Please. Leave the boy alone. His buns don't deserve your boney fingers squeezing them." Berry says.

"Oh alrighty then." She says letting go of me. I'm finally able to breath. "I know you take good care of my daughter, I heard all that moaning last night." She smirk. My eyes widen. "Jewel! I didn't need to know that!" Berry slaps his forehead. "We should get going... If we want to get to L.A by 9." Lauren says pulling my arm, she just saved me from answering her mother. I would have looked stupid trying to work up a lie.

Shmit takes our bags and we follow him. "Hope to see you again seksowny." Jewel says. I look at Lauren with my eyes widened. "What did she just call me?". "Just keep walking." She shakes her head, her cheeks of pink. She mouthed 'oh my god', which made me figure that I didn't need to know. "What language was that anyway?" I ask. "Polish." She says simply. I nod. Shmit opens the car door for us and we get in.
