babe?..you up? Lauren whispered. it was 12:32 in the morning and Lauren decided to spend the night at Jacob's. he layed there with his right hand rested on the back of his head and his left hand in his pants. she gently pushed him again making him turn over falling off the edge of the bed. Jacob! Lauren cried Jacob slowly got up and laughed while his eyes was still close. aha aye man that shit hurt. he said rubbing his side
"sorry. I'm just lonely and needed somebody to talk to"
"go to bed then," he said laying back down
"I can't.. I'm not use to sleeping in another bed"
"well.. what you want me to do?"
"stay up with me"
"I don't think I can"
"come on let's go down stairs"
"naw"
"please"
" cmon Lauren let me get some sleep please. im tired, I had a long day." he said in his sleepy voice. Lauren got up and slowly walked downstairs. she walked into the living room looking at all the pictures Jacob had laying around on his coffee table. after 6 hour's of staying up she then layed on the couch and fell asleep. it was about 6 in the morning and the sky had just turned dark blue. Jacob slowly walked down stairs scratching the side of his cheek. he made his way over Lauren kissing her forehead. he slowly picked her up and working his way up the stairs without waking her. he layed her in bed and wrapped the sheets around her. she turned over getting comfortable. he went into the bathroom and did his daily hygiene. after he got ready he sat on the edge of the bed putting on his shoes over his black and white Nike socks. "Jacob?, where you going?" she said leaning up in the bed. he turned around and crawled in the bed next to her. "I'm going to the waffle house, wanna come?" replied kissing her forehead. she nodded and threw the sheets to the side and got out of bed heading to the bathroom.
"babe I have to go by my house to go change"
"ight. you want me to take you or?"
"of course"
she washed her face and brushed her teeth. they both headed out the door heading to her house. he dogged in her purse and pulled out a piece of gum and threw it into her mouth. he pulled up at her driveway. "okay wait here!" she yelled running into the house. Jacob turned on the A/C and pulled out his phone waiting for her to come back. after an hour and a half of waiting she finally came out the house locking the door. she had on a black cropped shirt galaxy leggings and black boots. "okay let's go" she said jumping into the car. "what took you so long?? he asked putting his phone in his lap and pulling out of the drive way. she kept quite for a second looking down at his phone. "who's Nicki?" she asked still Starring at the phone. Jacob flipped the phone over still looking at the road. "I don't know. she says she's my sister but ion believe I have one." he scoffed turning into the restaurant. she flipped her hair back and sat back in the seat. " ight you ready?" he asked grabbing her hand. she nodded her head and looked into her front camera of her phone seeing if she didn't have too much lip gloss or anything. he picked up his phone off his lap and got out the car putting on his shades. he walked over to Lauren who was already walking over to the restaurant. "dang slow down" he whispered looking Dow. at his phone. he open the door and the fresh smell of sausages smacked him across his face.
"here can hold this while I fix my hair?"
"for what? were in a restaurant, not at a fashion show."
" forget it."
she walked off heading to the empty table in the back. he followed after and sat across from her. " why you acting so different?" he asked.
"just because I wanted to fix my hair, I'm acting different?
"not only that, you walked off on me"
"because you gave me an attitude"
"attitude all I said was were in a restaurant not at a fashion show"
"yeah and the way you said it."
"iight shh"
"don't shush me!"
"you loud"
"I Døńt care. are you still texting that Nicki girl?"
"why you wanna know"
"what can I get you guys?" the waiter said walking in the conversion.
"uh yeah Im craving for the 11.99 special that comes with the sausages and bacon."
"okay and what can i get for the lady?
"I'll just have the strawberry pancakes and French toast please"
"okay. I'll bring your drinks while you guys wait. there are soft bread in the middle if you guys get too hungry" he said walking away. Jacob turned his head back to the phone. while Lauren plays with her thin red hair. finally the waitress came back holding the drinks in his hand. "here ya go". he said walking off.
"wait. that's mine" Jacob said holding out his hand signaling for her to give it to him.
" no I wanted this one"
"no your combo order came with the apple juice"
"Its just drinks. dang"
"I Døńt drink apple juice. now could you give it to me please?"
"I Døńt drink apple juice either"
"man this the last time I go somewhere with you"
" you mad ?"
"nah I ain't mad"
"nope you mad"
"no I'm not man. could you shut up just for 5 minutes you been arguing with me every since we got here."
"I Døńt have to shut up!"
"now when I slap you in the mouth dont cry"
"you're.. gonna what?"
"you heard me.. Ima be the next Chris brown In this Bishh"
"fuck. you" she said throwing her drink all over him. Jacob jumped when he felt cold ice going down his back. she took one of the soft bread from the middle of the table and walked out the restaurant.
" bitch ass Nïggä" she whispered walking over to the car. Jacob put the money on the table even though he didn't receive his food. he rushed to the bathroom and took all the paper towels off every handle. he cleaned off his face and grabbed another roll of paper towels and began cleaning his hair and shirt. he walked out the restaurant and headed to car.
" what the hell is your problem??"
"I'm sorry it just happened"
" yeah sure. why are we In a relationship if you're gonna argue and throw drinks at me all the time"
" I said I was sorry. I Døńt know what came over me."
" maan .. let's go. I guess I have to make my own breakfast."
