For Better Or For Worse

Chapter 4 Derek

Well it's 8:30pm. Might as well get ready to go home and see what  London had cook for dinner.  As I was walking outside. I saw Lauren on the sidewalk waiting in the cold. She was probably waiting for her ride but, I couldn't leave her out here freezing to death, so I decided to approach her.

"Hey Lauren are you okay."

"Oh I'm just waiting for my boyfriend." She giggled

"Is He working?"

"Yea He gets off at 10."

"You just can't stand out here in the cold,  come on I will take you home."

" Oh it's not problem Mr.Smith."

"Please let me take you home Lauren, it's my pleasure " I said

"Okay Mr. Roberts, Thank you so much I appreciate it." She said.

" No problem. "

I walked her to my car opened the door and close it for her. Got in the car turned  some heat and pulled off.

"So where do you live." I asked

"I live on Adams street,  by the hospital. "

"Oh okay I know where that is" I replied

It got quiet and a little awkward.  I was going to come you with a conversation.  Til my phone rang, it was London. Should I answer?

I know she going to ask me where I'm at? But I didn't wanna tell her I was taking Lauren home. She will be pissed. London gets jealous when a females is either around me or talking to me. I can't have that. So I decided not to answer.

"Why didn't you answer your phone." Lauren asked.

"It was just my girlfriend,  I don't like talking on the phone while I'm driving." I said lying through my teeth. I didnt wanna give her a reason why neither

"What's her name? "

"London." I said

"Oh okay,  how long y'all been together.?"

"4 years."

"How sweet my boyfriend and me has been together since high school." She said

"Y'all must really love each other." I said.

She sat there quietly, looking out the window.

"Are you okay Lauren?" I asked

"Yes I'm fine,  just make this turn right here."

"Okay" I said

I pulled into her driveway. She looked at me and smile and said Thank you.

"Your welcome" I replied

She gave me a kiss on the lip. I pulled away quickly.

"I am so sorry Mr. Smith.  I didn't mean to."

"It's OK Lauren.  You have a nice night.  I will you at in the morning. "

"Yes Mr. Smith goodnight" she said.

And she walk to her door,turned back around and looked at me. I drove off the driveway fast as hell.

What the hell she do that for?. Oh my God.  I didn't expect that. Her lips was soft though. I need to hurry up and get hone before I lose my thoughts. Oh God this so messed up.

I need to go home to London so I could tell her what happened. 

Wait!! I can't tell her. Then she gone say , "That's why your white ass  didn't answer my phone call, is it because you was with that bitch you hired!!! ". I could see it now. She would cuss me out and leave to cool off , come back the next day, not speak at all. By then she still be mad. I don't want her to be pissed at me. So I'll just come up with some kind of excuse. Beside it was just a 2 second kiss. Glad I reacted quickly and push myself off her. God this is so crazy
