ashton and michael had worked out their little argument, no fight happened. lauren and tyla were talking about how michael used to be as a child, lauren surprised at how much of an angel he was. "babe, cal wants to us to go on a double date with him and jay." he smiles. "he's sorta nervous."

"tell him to grow a pair."

"we're going to play laser tag."

"im so in." lauren cheers, running up out of the kitchen and up the stairs. "what time?"

"he wants us to meet him there at seven, so we might as well get ready now."

as lauren gets in the shower, michael was looking for his clothes. when she got out, she left the water running for him, and got dressed. while she was pulling her shirt down over her body, luke comes on the door. "what the hell?" she rushes, only having panties on the lower half her body.

"im not ashton." luke says. "plus i wouldn't dare fight michael."

"what the hell do you want?" she asks, pulling her ripped skinny jeans up her legs.

"alexia fucking asked me on a date and i said yes. we were in front of her parents, i mean i didn't want to be rude, b-but-"

"it's a fucking date, luke, why are you freaking out?" lauren exclaims over his voice.

"i think she really likes me, but i don't. it's sort of obvious i wanted to fuck her, but my chances are over."

"be a man. cancel the date and never talk to her again. or tell her the truth about you being a manwhore."

"no,"

"im dropping my towel, luke." michael spoke, not caring that his best friend was in the room. as soon as he dropped it, luke turns his head.

"you're no help, lauren!"

calum and jay were standing outside of the building, jay standing on her tip-toes to show calum something on her phone.

he had a genuine smile on his face, which either meant he was happy to be with her or just laughing at something on the phone. "there they are, this is lauren, and this is michael."

"im jay!" she smiles, hugging the both of them. lauren thought she was too bubbly happy, like alexia, right until some girl shoulder bumped her as they were walking in. "don't make have to beat your ass today bec-"

calum covers her mouth, "you're going to get us kicked out. control your anger, woman!"

"we're going to get along fine." lauren threw her arm around jay, the two walking and talking about the boys in front of them.

"just know, that if somebody pushes me, shoulder bumps me, or hits me, we're going to have problems."

"most of the kids are probably five." michael laughs.

"i don't care." jay sasses, calum just excusing her attitude. the boys pay, them splitting on teams.

to make it eventful, calum and lauren are on the blue team, michael and jay on the red team.

as soon as they went in, the ran toward the back with the rest of the team. "tell me about calum before i make a total fool of myself when we go eat." jay says, standing there.

"he's...calum." michael shrugs. "ive known him for years, there is a lot to know."

"basic things."

"he plays bass in our band. he also sings, oh and our band has a gig at this pub, you should come." he smiles. "he likes Vegemite, a lot, uhm his phone is his number one priority, he also likes basketball. though i never have the energy to play with him, i know he's good."

"are you serious, i play basketball too."

"will you two stop gossiping and come play?" lauren shot the both of them, running to find calum.

"it's on now!"

••••

even after their five minutes delay, jay's team won. so now their out at a diner, everyone ordered a milkshake, and a big container of fries to share.

lauren leans on michael, grabbing his hand, and caressing it with her thumb. "i so hate you for that. you paid eleven year olds to tackle me and calum."

"you shouldn't have shot me like fifteen million times."

"you paid kids to tackle us, you cheated! we played fair." calum laughs.

"so what?" michael rolls his eyes, turning to lauren. she kisses his nose, making him pout. "im not five, give me a real kiss."

"you play laser tag like you're five." lauren grins, cupping his cheek. "it's adorable."

"im not adorable, im sexy."

"you're as sexy as a kitten can get." lauren laughs loudly at michael's reaction.

"why do i get compared to a kitten? my grandma used to say that. she even put on her will, give my little kitten, in parentheses, michael clifford, my diamond watch." michael explains, rolling up his sleeve to show the watch he cherishes.

"aww kitten, it's so cute!" lauren jokes, only to be shunned. the fries came with the milkshakes, jay dipping her fries in her milkshake. "ew."

michael does it, and his eyes widen. "it's actually good."

"you guys are fucking disgusting." calum clarifies, lauren agreeing. shrugging, michael turns to lauren.

she opens her mouth to put a fry in, only to be substituted by one covered in milkshake. "michael, im going to kill you!" lauren exclaims.

he kisses her lips, "are you going to kill me now?"

"in your sleep i will."

"you love me, you can't do it."

"you're right, i do love you." she smiles. he smiles happily, and kisses her passionately only to realize the faces jay and calum were making.

their facial expressions looked exactly alike, which was scary. "you guys are cute, but PDA."

"calum should be fined for public nudity!" lauren exclaims. "his butt is like everywhere."

"not true," cal laughs.

"go into espresso. they didn't give you what you wanted. they had to take your picture to ban you from their diner, but instead you mooned it and ran." michael explains.

"oh yeah, that was the day michael fell in that creek with ashton."

"no he pushed me."

"whatever."
