Lauren/You: Escaping Reality

Chapter 6

Your P.O.V.:

We finally arrived at the local pizza place. I started walking towards the store with Lauren then I stopped to turn around to see Taylor and Dinah with their phones out.

"Are you two idiots coming or not?" You yelled to them as you earned a chuckle from Lauren

They quickly looked up with their eyes open. As they regained their composure the put their phone and caught up to us. We all walked inside and sat in a booth. I had Lauren with me on my left and across from us was Taylor and Dinah both staring at us intently.

"You two look like creeps," Lauren said.

I laughed at the comment she had given them as they tried to act like they weren't so curious. I seriousy don't get why it is such a big deal. We ordered our pizzas then waited. As we were waiting for our food to come we all were talking with eachother. It has been the most fun and happy I have been in a while. As we were talking I couldn't help but look over and kind of stare at Lauren. She is just so beautiful and intriguing inside and out. I love to see the spark in her eye as she talked about something she was passionate about. Or to see her face light up when she laughed and the way she reacted. Her beauty just took me away every aspect of her was perfect. I think she also caught me staring at her a couple times... 

"Hey! We should go to a movie!" Dinah suggested looking at us for an answer.

"Yeah that would be great!" Taylor said as she winked at me.

After that gesture I gave her a glare.

"Yeah sure why not?" Lauren said. "You in?" she asked me as she put her hand on top of mine.

"U-uhhh yeah sure... why not?" You stuttered.

We all got up to leave after we finished the rest of you food. On the way to the theatre the exact same thing happened as it did on the way there. We all got out walking to the theatre and this time Lauren and I trailed behind as the girls walked inside.

"They are nutjobs," Lauren said as she laughes.

"Yeah just a bit," you said as you winked at her.

After I winked at her I swear I could see her blush but it is probably me over reading emotions like always. Lauren and I both entered into the theatre grabbed our tickets and headed to the consession. 

"Want anything?" I asked.

"Yeah sure, want to share a drink?" she asked staring back up at me.

"Alright" 

We both were in the line waiting. I felt a grip on your right arm and someone pulling you closer. I turned my head to see that Lauren was clinging onto my side as her head rested on my shoulder. The contact between us send shivers up and down my body. She took her head of my shoulder and looked up into my eyes intently.

"What, I'm cold," she said making a pouting face.

"Well I am not the one who blasted the AC the whole way here," I remarked.

"Oh shut up," she said as she punched my arm.

"Hey cuties!" Dinah said joyfully behind you.

With the comment Lauren and I kind of awkwardly realised the touch between us. As we were walking to the theatre Taylor grabbed me.

"Just need to borrow you for a sec."

"Why's that?"

"You know" Taylor said.

"Really I don't! I said with annoyance.

"You and Lauren....?" she asked with curiosity.

"Oh... we are just friends and even if it wasn't that way she would have no interest in me," 

"Don't start that friend bull shit, I was talking to Dinah and apparently all last night Lauren wouldn't shut up about you," she said sternly.

With that I couldn't help but smile over the idea of Lauren swooning over me. Quickly I brought myself to reality.

"Taylor it's not like that and it will never be that way," I said with more anger than I meant to express.

"I am sorry just please try to see it or at least try this is the first person I have met to make you happy in a while and acording to Dinah, Lauren hasn't been this happy for a while either," she said with her last argument. 

Before I could say anything she interupted me and said one last thing.

"Just shut up and listen to me," she said before she ran back to Dinah.

"So I hope you don't need a diaper for this movie," Dinah said.

"Taylor might," I said winking at her as she gave you the middle finger in return. 

Lauren joined my side again as we picked our seats. Lauren was on my left as we sat down. The horror movie started. During the beginning of the movie I couldn't stop thinking about what Taylor had said. Do I have feelings towards Lauren? With all the contemplating and thought on the subject I was barley paying attention. I felt someone intertwine their fingers into mine. I turned my head to be met with Laurens eyes.

"You ok?" she whispered into my ear.

"Y-yeah I'm fine don't worry," you replied.

I think Lauren could tell that I was lying but she decided not to bother me anymore. As I tried to bring my thoughts away from the subject I tried to watch the movie. But I couldn't keep my mind off of the girl sitting right beside me. I caught Lauren staring at me a couples times and she would just smile quickly look down to the ground and focus her eyes back onto the movie. At one part of the movie you felt a quick grasp from the girl beside you that cause you to jump. I turned to see how terrified she looked as she watched the film. Lauren then hid her head in the crook of my neck gripping even tigheter onto my arm as she pulled me closer to her. I could feel her breathe upon my neck which gave me goosebumps. After the scary part was over she loosend her grip as she rested her head on my shoulder.

---------------------------------

I drove Dinah and Lauren home. As we arrived at their house Taylor and Dinah  ran into the house leaving me and Lauren behind. Before she walked into her house she stopped and looked at me.

"Will I ever be invited in? I laughed.

"What?" she asked with a confused loo on her face.

"Always seems like we are stuck talking outside."

After I said that Lauren eyes went wide and she quickly looked at the ground.

"Sorry," she said just above a whisper.

"Babe it's fine it was a joke... kind of," I said as I walked closer to her and lifting up her chin.

"Also sorry for Dinah coming into our plans..." she said looking directly at the ground again.

I couldn't help but let out a laugh. 

"It's fine I guess it's an excuse to ask you out again," I spat out before realizing what I said. "I uhh m-mean y-you kno-." This time you being the nervous one Lauren lifted your head to meet her gaze.

"Tomorrow?" she asked staring at me with hope in her eyes.

"Sounds good Jauregui," I said more confident as I regained my compsure again.
