A little out of this World || Lauren/You

|10|

Lauren has successfully enjoyed her food and I'm glad she got full.

"No more dinosaurs yeah?" I asked and she giggle cutely "yeah no more".

I chuckle and pull out my phone to check the time. It's already 1:15 pm and we haven't bought anything yet and we just finished our late breakfast.

"Are you done? Let's go we'd still go to the market to buy some groceries" I told her and nod, but I notice that she still had some stain on the corner of her lips so I grab a tissue and lean towards her "stay still" I hold her chin and carefully wipe it away.

My eyes gaze upon hers and her green orbs are deeply locked with mine. I was suddenly lost. I just realized how pretty she is up close.

"Hi y/n" she suddenly muttered which brought me back to reality I blink my eyes and she's smiling at me.
I awkwardly pull away and drop the used tissue on the plate.

"Uh let's go now" I told her before standing up.

I couldn't be possibly attracted to her right? I barely know her.

As Lauren stand up and walk beside me she slipped her hand down and hold mine, intertwining our fingers together while she gently caresses my palm.

I look at her but her sight was somewhere else...she didn't even bother about the rules anymore. Well stupid! You told her it don't apply at this moment.

Ugh no choice.

We both walked out and proceed to look for the market.

While walking I notice how Lauren was looking around somehow I think that there's something she's sighting familiar to her maybe she's just not comfortable on telling me.

"Are you familiar with anything?" I asked.

She shrug "a little the ambiance of this place is kind of same to where I was from" she said and that information got me thinking there couldn't be possibly malls on other planet.

"Alright try to keep remembering things okay maybe you'll remember where you really are from" I told her and she nod "do you think I'd still get back to my planet?" She said with a hint of Hope in her voice.

"Yeah I will help you" I mumble and she smile before I felt her grip on my hands tighten "thank you y/n" was the words she said before she retrieve her sight back to her surroundings.

Suddenly a scream rummage not so far from where we are walking.

It totally caught both our attention and as we passed by the same guy who was talking to Lauren was currently being shoved into the floor by the securities.

"I'm telling you I'm innocent!" He groaned while the security are gripping him securely tight.

"Oh my God what happen to him?" Lauren suddenly ask beside me.

"Should we help him, y/n let's help him" she added but I pull her closer and away from the situation.

"No we can't help him he's a bad person let's go now that's not our business" I told her and continue to pull her with me.

I mean he was being disrespectful so that's just right for him besides it's not that bad if he's really innocent then he's innocent maybe they will let him go soon.

We've reached the market and I pull Lauren inside.

"Hey it's really crowded so stay with me alright" I reminded and she just softly nod.

I grab a tray and a cart while I look over the list on what to buy.

Throughout the hours we've been picking out groceries, I notice that Lauren was being silent well she's always silent but it's like she's thinking about something deep so I decided to ask her.

"Hey are you alright?"

Her eyes turn to with some sort of sadness then she shook her head "I'm not okay".

I furrow my eyebrows "why not? Are you hungry again?".

Once again she shook her head "no I'm not".

She's been answering really plainly and somehow I'm being worried. I don't know why I just am.

"What's wrong? Tell me?" I asked.

She took a deep breath and look down before speaking.

"The guy back there seemed to be in pain those people were hurting him and we didn't help" she said with a frown.

Oh. Dang. So it's my fault now?. Well I was trying to make him payback for being disrespectful to her and yet she still thinks he's a good person?.

"Lauren they're not hurting him they're just teaching him a lesson" I told her while pulling the cart over the cashier.

"Why? Are they teachers?" She asked with confusion.

I chuckle "no not like that I mean when people needs to learn something sometimes it really has to be painful...you can't learn something in an easy way".

Seemingly to understand what I said Lauren gently nod her head.

"So don't worry too much about it alright sometimes we just need to look at the situation and see if it's really right time to help".

"Y/n" Lauren suddenly call out and I hummed in response since I was busy putting stuffs in the counter to get its price.

"When I came was it right time?" She asked and that question made me return.

"Huh?" I was a little bit confused.

"Cause you'll help me get back"

Then I realize what she meant.

I can't tell if it was a right time but it sure is confusing. I mean she just pop up from nowhere. And here I am stuck with her trying to untangle her identity.

I pay the cashier and Lauren help me to carry the plastic bags. I didn't answer her question and he didn't ask again.

"Are we going home now?" She asked.

I shook my head I'm still getting her her clothes "not yet I'm buying you some clothes"

I'm like going full shopping for a stranger.

"Then after let's get some ice cream" I told her cause I'm really craving for some ice cream.

"I like ice cream" she mumble

"Really what flavor?" I asked.

"The white one".

Oh vanilla.

"Y/n?" I look at Lauren cause I thought she's the one who called me.

"Did you call me?" I asked and she shook her head.

"Y/n!" Then again. This time I knew it wasn't her.

I turn around and notice that sandra was approaching us.

My eyes widen. Oh please I don't want to get interrogated right now.
