Accidental Love

Chapter 7: The Aftermath

LAUREN'S POV:

I ran into the house slamming the door behind me. "What's wrong honey?" My mom said from the living room.

"My god mom I thought you wouldn't be home," I said putting my hand over my heart because she scared the living shit out of me.

"Well, I'm home! Is everything ok?" She asked getting up from her chair.

"Yeah, um everything's fine. I'm just really tired so I'm gonna head up to bed. Night!" I said giving her a kiss on the cheek and running up to my room.

I got into my room and immediately ran over to my bed and buried my face in the pillows. I couldn't stop thinking about Shawn. I couldn't stop thinking about the way his hands fit around my waist, or the way his strong arms wrapped around my body, bring me closer to his toned chest. And I especially couldn't stop thinking about the kiss. Oh my lord was that kiss great.

*BUZZ BUZZ* I was snapped out of my fantasy when I felt my phone start ringing. "Hello?" I answered.

"Hi beautiful." I heard Mason say on the other side.

A little smile spread across my face. "Mason, it's 12:30 at night. Why are you calling me?" I laughed.

"I don't know, I couldn't stop thinking about you." He said. Ok this was too cute, but as much as I wanted to enjoy this, I was still distracted by Shawn. We started talking for a good long while when he asked, "hey are you up for an adventure?"

"I mean yeah that'd be awesome, but there's no way my mom would let me drive this late..." I said.

"Well lucky for you, you're not the one driving," Mason said.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"Look outside." He said. I ran over to my window to see Mason leaning on his truck in my driveway. I shook my head with a smile on my face and ran out to meet him, quietly though cause I didn't need my mom questioning where I was going.

"I can't believe we're doing this right now." I said as we both got into his car.

"I can." He said smiling at me. We pulled out of my driveway and drove past Shawn's house. I looked at the house and saw that the light was still on in Shawn's room. I couldn't help but wonder what he was doing.

SHAWN'S POV:

The only thing running through my mind right now was Lauren. I couldn't stop thinking about her. She was so perfect tonight and it made me realize just how much I wanted to be with her. I pulled out my phone and texted Matt (Espinsoa). 'Hey man you up?' Almost a minute later he texted back: 'yeah dude why?'. I called him and he answered right away.

"Hey Shawn is everything alright?" Matt asked. He seemed wide awake, as usual.

"Well, I'm not sure. I'm gonna tell you something but you have to PROMISE me that you won't tell anyone else." I said seriously.

"Yeah of course." Matt said.

"Ok, so you know that girl Lauren?" I said nervously.

"You mean the one from the picture? The one you won't shut up about? The one that Miranda hates..." He kept going on and on.

"Yeah, that Lauren." I said, "well you see, something happened tonight..."

"She knocked the stuff over in your room. Yeah, man we already know about that." Matt said.

"Wait, Lauren was in my room?" I said, nervously looking around. Shit my room wasn't even clean!

"Yeah she and Aaliyah skyped us earlier, well I mean Aaliyah did, Lauren tried to get her to hang up..."

"Ok nevermind about that. But I kissed her tonight."

"Wait you what?" Matt asked shocked.

"Yeah. We kissed. And it was amazing."

"I hate to be negative Shawn but you kind of have a serious girlfriend right now...."

"I know that's why I called you man. I don't know what to do. I mean, I love Miranda I do, but there's just something about Lauren that I can't resist. When we kissed, something felt right. Really right and I just can't shake the feeling that I have towards her right now. I don't know what to do at all." Matt and I talked about this for a long time, which made it a little better.

"You'll figure out what to do man, just don't do anything that you'll regret ok?" Matt said.

"Yeah ok. Thanks man." I said as we both hung up. I went over to my bed and flopped on my back. Before tonight, I didn't know what I wanted. I was so confused, but after tonight, I knew what I wanted. I wanted Lauren, and I wanted her badly.

I reached for my phone and pulled up Miranda's contact. "Hello?" She answered almost immediately.

"Hey Miranda, listen, we need to talk."
