Everything happens for a reason (Lauren/You)

Chapter 14

It's going to be a month since Erica asked me out, it's also going to be a month without talking to Lauren. I thought it was going to be easy since I've done it before but it's like time passes by so slow this time around.

I'm getting the hang of being a girlfriend. I really really like Erica and I don't see me breaking up with her any time soon. She's just exactly what a girl wants, well at least what I want. These past 2 weeks I haven't felt any regret like the first week.

Erica is amazing!! We went on so many dates and I loved every single one of them. She actually has something planned for us tomorrow for our 1 month anniversary.

Does everyone celebrate their first month together or is she doing it since it's my first relationship?

She told me to dress up the way I always dress, I guess it's something small and simple. Not that I'm complaining....

I have mixed emotions about this. I'm exited, happy, maybe feel a little bit of love? But there's also a gut feeling I have that doesn't go well with the idea of going on the date with her and her friends. It's rare when we're alone and I hate it because she wants to get more intímate in front of them.

I haven't told anyone about Erica. My family just thinks that she's just a friend but one of my cousins is getting suspicious. I tried to avoid the questions and confrontations that she does but sometimes I just can't avoid her.

I'm planning on coming out to them soon, especially -since I don't plan on breaking up with Erica any time soon. I just don't know how and when or what I'm going to say and who I'm going to tell first. Time will tell.

Anyway I'm currently waiting/dreading for tomorrow. Let's see what happens.

------

It's Saturday and I'm currently getting ready for today. I'm exited because she said that her friends weren't going so that's a good thing. I don't know exactly where we are going or what we are doing so I don't really know what to wear. She said to dress the way I always dress but what if I wear something that doesn't fit the occasion.

Before I go on our date I'm going to my grandmas house because everyone is gathering there which means my cousin Lisa will be there. Another interrogation is going to happen and I don't know how I'm going to answer if I don't know where we are going.

It was already time and I was so nervous and excited all at the same time!!

We are currently in her car on our way to the destination. We both have this smile on our faces and when she turns my way she giggles. We were like this the whole ride to our destination.

The ride wasn't that far but it wasn't close either. Turns out that she took me to Main event. It was a little weird because I didn't really see a surprise in it but she was happy about it so I was happy.

We got out of the car and started walking towards the main entrance of Main Event. We were both holding hands really close to each other. I was starting to feel like a good girlfriend.

We go in and she pays for a fun card, which is a little weird because when we go out to an arcade she usually gets 2 cards but maybe she doesn't want to play or we're just going to share.

We started walking into the game area, still holding hands. We go around playing some games. She's mostly playing and I'm watching. I wonder if the surprise already happened or is it going to happen.
