Time Goes By [COMPLETED]

chapter 13

Lauren's POV

"Wait, you're seriously going to start dating your ex boyfriend's sister? Nicole? The one we spent four years making her life miserable and unbearable? Isn't that abit weird? And did you forget what she did to brad? And didn't Jonathan ask you to wait for him until he comes back so you guys can date? And you said NO?" Danielle fired question after question, her eyebrows frowned in confusion.

We were in my bedroom, searching for the right outfit for my date. I was looking through my closet thoughtfully, with my hands on my hips and half of my clothes were scattered on my bed. Ashley was sitting Indian style on my bed, looking through every single one of them and Danielle was lying on the floor, questioning my decision.

Nic (Nicole's nickname) texted me about wearing something casual and comfortable. If you're wondering how I got her number, well it was from Ashley of course, who got her number from Rita which is extremely weird. Since when they got to exchange numbers?

Anyways, I'm getting of topic, when she told me to wear something casual, I was relieved because first of, I don't have anything fancy to wear; half of them are in the laundry basket and the other half are just too old and not THAT impressing. You know, you have to dress to impress and I want to blow Cole's- I mean Nic's mind which is going to be kinda hard when I have to dress casual but it's better than wearing something fancy. And second, because of Nic's flannel which I'm planning to wear on our date. She forget that flannel back in our old high school when she took it off to play basketball against me, but thankfully, I grabbed it before we speedily escaped.

"I'm not going to change my mind Danielle, if that's what you're hinting. I WANT to date Nic and I'm GOING to date Nic. And about brad, well he's bad and stupid. And you can't deny you enjoyed it; I saw it on your face. And Jonathan, I don't like him in that way anymore. He's the past and Nic's the present and who knows, maybe, the future as well. I hope so." I spoke without turning around and mumbled the last part, whisper wishing for it.

I let out a huff and turned, staring at Nic's black flannel on my bed, hopeless. It still smells like her; Jovans perfume with a small scent of lavender. I kept staring at it, hopefully by some miracle, I will find something to wear. Then it clicked. I hurriedly grabbed some black stretch pants which will make my butt look good and a white shirt with a big symbol of peace stamped on it.

I went to the bathroom, taking the flannel as well and started to change. I heard Danielle and ashley's voice calling my name on the other side of the door.

After I finished changing, I wore my blonde hair in a loose bun and put some red lipstick that well definitely catch her attention and a dark eyeshadow that will make my blue eyes stand out. I took a final look at myself and brushed Nic's flannel gently with my hands. I smiled and opened the door to see Danielle and Ashley playing uno on the floor. They looked up, when they heard the door open and their jaw dropped.

They stood up quickly and Ashley spoke, still in shock. "YOU LOOK AMAZING, SEXY, EXTREMELY HOT." Ashley showered me with compliments and Danielle spoke as well "I'm so jealous. Nicole will drop her pants."

I rolled my eyes but was pleased with how I looked, but before they could say anything else, we heard a knock from our apartment door.

I froze and Ashley smiled, sprinting to open the door. Danielle grabbed my shoulders and told me to breath and not to worry. I shook my head, up and down, agreeing but unable to speak. I hope I don't screw this up. Please Lauren, don't screw this up. "Just have fun, okay?" Danielle spoke, sweetly and I smiled at her and hugged her tightly before walking out to the living room.

I walked inside and saw Nic talking to Ashley. Danielle whispered in my ear saying "Now I know why chose her; she's hot." I slapped her shoulder and gave her a look saying 'stop it'.
