Entangled With The Crazy

Chapter-33

Lauren Hart

Two freaking days!

It had been two days since we came back after spending a torturous night at my home. And since that day Sean had been avoiding me. Well, not exactly avoiding but he had confined himself to just business talks. He wasn't completely back at his usual brooding self, he did continue to listen to my nonsense but he hadn't been initiating talks.

He had stopped courting me. And that hurt the most. 

And all that happened just because of my foolishness!

I had no intention to kiss Jazzy. It just happened because I got overly excited and jumped on him. To be honest, I wanted to make Sean jealous but I guess my plan backfired on me.

My wild decision cost me avoidance. I was a fool that I thought Sean would never give up on me but he did it in the blink of an eye. Like... he completely forgot that he was courting me just two days ago.

I needed someone who could give me advice on this. I needed someone with a stable mental level who could advise me on how to get back the Sean I fell in love with.

And I knew the best people to share my worries with.

:::::::::::::::::::::

Okay! Maybe it wasn't the best idea at all.

I came to visit Eloise and Ariana at Eloise's place and for the last half hour, I had been sitting on the couch in the living room bouncing my knees and playing with my hair while they both sat in front of me, waiting for me to speak. I hadn't spoken a word about why I had called this urgent meet. I couldn't bring myself to frame the right words. My gaze remained fixed at Amara who had been playing with Travis and the toys at the back on the carpeted floor.

"What is it, Lauren? You have been sitting here for long without uttering a word." Ariana spoke up, making me look at her. I bit the inside of my lower lip thinking how should I explain to her that I... fucked up?

"Yes, Lauren, speak up for heaven's sake!" Eloise exclaimed.

I huffed and stopped the bouncing of my knees. I then took a deep breath, preparing myself to speak.

"I screwed up!" I muttered while biting my lower lip in uneasiness.

"What exactly did you do?" Eloise asked in suspicion.

"Are you in some kind of trouble? Tell me?" Ariana's concerned voice melted my heart. She's too sweet for this world.

"I...uh..." I stuttered. What should I start with?

"I am not in trouble —well yeah, it's a sort of trouble but not exactly." I had no idea what was coming out of my mouth. "I mean I did something that I shouldn't have but it happened—"

"Lauren come to the point!" Eloise interrupted my babbling.

"I am in love with Sean."

I blurted out without wasting another second and the reaction I received was an expected one.

"You what?!" They both shrieked in unison as they both bounced off the couch. I lowered my head as I couldn't meet their eyes because I was blushing profusely. They shouted so loudly that the kids too diverted their attention to us.

Eloise dropped herself on the couch. I saw it by raising my eyelashes, not my head. Ariana was still in shock as she stayed rooted to her place blinking continuously.

"YOU. MEAN. TO. SAY. THAT. YOU. ARE. IN. LOVE. WITH. SEAN? Our Sean? Sean Peterson?" Eloise's exaggeration caused me to mentally roll my eyes. As if she knew any other Sean Peterson.
