You're My Girl ~ Tayler Holder

Chapter 29

Lauren POV
Blake drove us to the surprise location with his hand on my thigh. This boy is something special but I really don't want to lead him on again. I shook the thought out my mind and I focused on right now.

We finally arrived at the beach. "I knew how much you liked coming here the last time so I thought a beach day would be fun." He said. "I love it Blake, thank you. I don't have a bikini or anything though." I said. "Well it's a good job I got one for you." I looked at him with a confused look. "I spoke to Indiana and she left one out which I took when you weren't looking." He said, with a mischievous look on his face. "You are something else Blake Gray." I giggled.

I quickly ran to the toilet and got changed into my bikini. I walked back outside to join Blake. His jaw dropped slightly when he saw me. "What?" I asked him. "You look so sexy." He said, eyeing me up and down. I slapped his chest. "Behave yourself."

Blake grabbed my hand and we headed to find a spot.

Today has honestly been so much fun. I can't remember the last time I was so happy.

It was getting late and Blake wanted a McDonald's before he took me home. Blake paid for me which I insisted he didn't but he wouldn't let me.

We got our food and parked the car. Blake kept looking at me. "What?" I asked him. "Don't hate me." Before I could say anything he connected his lips to mine. I was shocked at first but I kissed him back.

He pulled away and I was still in shock. "Wow." I sighed, with a smile. "I wish I could kiss you all the time." I slapped his chest and then looked down at my fingers.

He could tell something wasn't right and he had a pretty good idea what that was.

"I know you're not over Tayler but I'll help you with that. I know we agreed on no feelings involved but I can't help it Lauren. I'm crazy about you." He confessed. I felt my heart breaking at what he said. "I don't want to lead you on again Blake. I'm not over Tayler and it's not fair on you."

It was silent for a couple of moments

"I think the only way you're going to get over Tayler is if you talk to him. You guys ended on a bad note and you didn't even talk about it. If you talk about it you might find out if you can move on or if you guys are meant to be together." Blake said. "Why are you always so nice when I do this to you? I feel like such a bitch." I said, looking down.

Blake made me look at him. "I only want the best for you and if that means watching you with another guy then so be it. If we are meant to be together then we will." He said, rubbing his thumb across my cheek. "If it's me or someone else, that girl will be the luckiest girl in the world." I smiled slightly. "Now who's the one being soppy." He teased me.

Blake drove me home and his words kept replaying in my head. He parked the car and turned to face me. "Can I kiss you once more? Just in case if it's our last one." He asked. I nodded with a smile. We both leant in and our lips moved in perfect sync. I pulled away and he rested his forehead against mine. "Promise we will remain friends? Even if I end up with Tayler?" I asked. "I will never cut you out of my life, I promise." I smiled. I said goodbye and went in the house.

Indiana wasn't back yet so I crashed on the sofa. What am I meant to do? Maybe Blake is right. Maybe I do need to speak to Tayler and I might have some closure.
