Chapter 33

"I was never mad at you... I just wanted to fuck you..."

I roll my head back laughing as her warm fingertips brace my back, her green orbs almost smiling at me as I set my head back down just lavishing in the moments we got to spend alone..

"Yeah I saw that coming!"

After a moment a loud ring at the door alert our attention, Lauren release a small breath of excitement before rushing down into the foyer, her arms full as she enter back into the room placing down multiple boxes of pizza onto the bed

"Wai- when did you order food?"

I giggled pulling open the boxes as she crawl back up under the covers grabbing a slice between her fingertips before shoving it into my mouth laughing as my lips engulf the hot sauce

"When I left the room earlier.. what mami don't look at me like that I was hungry!"

I roll my eyes chewing down on the dough as she let out a small cackle before taking a bite herself, I don't know how she did it... she could somehow go from fucking me almost into another dimension to adorably feeding me midnight snacks in a matter of seconds no questions asked! She had the most interchangeable personality I had ever come across and frankly it fascinated me!

"Good sex ... good food.. what more could a girl ask for..."

"I'll cheers to that!"

She replied clashing the food in her hand against mine eliciting a shared laughter that fill the room before a prolonged silence spread into the air filled only by the sounds of us piling calories down our throats, those small moments of silence were beautiful as it was never awkward.. it was just.. peaceful.. I couldn't help but think however back together the moment she'd walk back into the office earlier wiping at her cheeks with a forced smile

"Hey.. anyway you looked like you were crying earlier after speaking to your dad? Was everything ok?"

She nod placing the food down into the box before licking the crumbs from her fingertips turning her body to face me with a wondering smile

"I think we made up? Like for real this time? I don't know he just seemed super genuine.."

I couldn't help but think it was too good to be true, I knew Lauren probably better than she knew herself by now and given that she freaked out over a letter it couldn't be long before something else would shake the frameworks of their already rickety relationship

"You didn't think he was genuine before?"

She look down into her duvet covered lap holding onto her knees as I also lay down the pizza in my hand, her eyes were soft and trusting too trusting if you ask me... I wanted to believe as much as her that mike was for real but something just ate away in my mind .. it was probably just the fear of her getting hurt for the millionth time in a row but still if she was letting her guard down I only felt it reasonable to lift mine slightly just in case

"I did but, I guess there was still something off? Earlier he made it obvious how he felt so for right now I kinda just wanna enjoy having a dad.."

And I accept that taking her hand into mine squeezing lightly watching her smile grow across her face as she look up into my eyes, I reach forward placing a single kiss onto her plump lips before pulling away grabbing for the half bottle of water beside me
