Lovers and Friends

Chapter 5

Lauren P.O.V

*The next day*

The smell of breakfast woke me up. I turned over and checked the time. It was 11:30am. I rolled out of bed and went to clean myself up . When I was done, I headed down stairs. I was hungry af and I could tell by the smell that my mom had slayyyyeddd in the kitchen this morning. She cooked pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, grits, toast, and hash browns. I immediately stuffed my face.

"Dang girl slow down!" My parents said coming back into the kitchen.

"Well goodmorning to yall too" I said with my mouth full.

" Goodmorning baby" They both said in unison while kissing me on each cheeks.

" I have to go to LA for a couple of shows and your father have to go to New York to film his new movie.  We'll be back in a couple of weeks. I love you baby,behave while we're gone." My mom said while heading towards the door.

"Love you babygirl" My dad said picking up their bags.

"Love you too,good luck you guys." I yelled as they were leaving.

I looked up to my parents so much but I really hated the fact that they always had to leave. My mom is a professional dancer on the 3D Extreme Dance Team and my dad is a famous actor.

After they left, I went upstairs into the theatre to watch "No Good Deed" since I didnt have anything else to do until Q's party later on tonight . I popped me some popcorn and began to watch it. Half way through the movie I began to dose off and eventually I fell asleep.

When I woke up it was 7pm. I had 3 hours to get ready for the party and I had no idea what I was wearing yet. I went upstairs to my bathroom and turned the shower on so the water could get hot. After I grabbed everything I needed for my shower, I went and got in.

*45 minutes later*

I stepped out of the shower feeling fresh as ever. I slipped my robe on and walked into my closet. I put on my all black bra and panties set from Victoria's Secret and began to lotion my body. Then I put on my Versace gold shoulder shirt and my high waist black jeans with my Steve Madden pumps. Now its time to do this hair of mine. After what seemed like forever, I finally decided that I would just brush my hair up in a nice curly puff and slick my edges down.

When I finished my hair, I looked at the clock and noticed that it was 9:30. I applied a little makeup, and took one last look in the mirror. DAMN!, ya girl was looking like a super bad bitch!!
I grabbed my clutch off of the dresser and made my way out of the door.

PARTY TIME!

Everyone stared as I walked in the party and I must admit that yo girl was looking GOOD! I immediately spotted Nisha them. After we joked around and had a couple of drinks, I walked off to go find the bathroom. I wandered around the big house, not knowing where the hell I was going.

"Hey beautiful, you looking for me?" An unfamiliar voice spoke.

I turned around to see this fine ass brown skin boy. He was about 5'5, with long dreads, and perfect teeth.

"No , why would I be ? " I asked curious to know his answer.

"Cause I was looking for you. " he said with a shy smirk.

"Oh really? " I questioned confused.

"Yea . I saw you doing yo thang at the pep rally yesterday, and I thought you were amazing.  I'd love to get to know you if that's not a problem. " He said.

"Sure. I'm Lauren and you are?" I said reaching my hand out.

"I'm Cody, but you can call me "Bae". " He said pulling me in for a hug instead of shaking my hand, which completely caught me off guard. I loved his confidence. His embrace was so warm, and he smelled soooo good. OMG! I felt like I was in heaven.

"Dang boy, you can let go now" I said trying to play it off like I didn't enjoy the moment, but I loved every second of it.

"Girl shutup, you know you liked that" he laughed.

We stood there and talked for a few minutes until My Girl by Jacquees came on.

"May I have this dance" he asked while grabbing my hand and placing a gentle kiss on it.

I shook my head yes and followed him onto the dance floor. I was so caught in the moment I forgot all about the bathroom.

  
We danced the whole song in each other's arms, hypnotized by one another's embrace. The way he held me, and looked deep into my eyes, it felt as if we knew each other forever. The connection between us was so amazing that it was almost too good to be true. The way his long dreads draped over his broad shoulders, and the sincere look in his dreamy eyes almost made me have a heart attack.This man was everything! I didn't even realize the song was over, because I was so mesmerized by his handsome features.

He laughed, instantly knocking me out of me trance.

"What?" I asked slightly embarrassed.

"Nothing, You're just so beautiful" He replied with the sexiest grin on his face. Just then, he reached in and gave me the most passionate kiss that I have ever received. I pulled away, shocked as hell, trying to catch my breath.

"What was that for ?" I asked, slightly shifting side to side.

He smiled and led me off of the dance floor without a reply. I was so shocked by his unexpected actions that I decided that it was time for me to leave. I had had enough of this sexy beast today. If I stayed any longer, who knows what I would do to him. I reluctantly walked away.

" Wait!" I heard him project as I was leaving.

I turned around and waited for him to catch up.

"Dang ma, you just gone leave me like that ! Can I at least get yo number ? " He questioned me. I smiled and quickly locked my number into his phone before getting in my car.

The whole ride home I couldn't do anything but think about him.He could possibly be the one. But wait, We just met. I quickly shook the thought from my head. As soon as I pulled into the driveway my phone rung, indicating that I had a text.

" Imma let the whole hood know that you gone be my girl "

I melted in my seat, immediately knowing who it was. Then quickly shooting him a text back before getting out the car and heading inside.

"You sure about that ?"
