lauren drabbles 💃🏻🥵

1: Wedding

lauren saw a woman standing quietly at the bus stop listening to music, or an audio book she didn't know.
this woman had beautiful caramel skin and bright hazel eyes. her hair was dark and her body was curvy with some happy chub around the stomach. lauren was sold.
the bus came and the light drizzle of rain started to come down slightly harder. they got on board, grateful that the bus had come in time for the rain.
lauren stared at the woman in longing. she was truly gorgeous and definitely one of a kind.
she took her chance and sat down beside her, smiling awkwardly and unsure of what to say.
"oh..? hola a todos," the woman greeted kindly and removed her ear buds. lauren felt her soul leave her body, this woman's voice ...
"hihi!! i'm lauren ... what's your name :)"
"maria," the spanish woman smiled back and shook lauren's hand. the simple action caused lauren's stomach to do jumping jacks.
"well maria, i'd just like to tell you that wow .. you are very pretty." maria laughed lightly at the compliment.
"aw thanks, you are as well laur." lauren almost screamed at the nickname. she felt so warm with this woman already ... if i say what i'm about to say, she'll take it as a joke wont she? hopefully,
"omg stop you're way prettier just marry me ugh😭"
lauren just about regretted her joke before maria laughed loudly.
"oh maybe i will !" lauren sighed internally, and giggled. "oh please do i'm so lonely," she said sarcastically. maria looked into lauren's eyes; then out the window.
"do you have a boyfriend?"
lauren froze.
"no not at all."
"aw, that's alright," maria turned back to face lauren with a kind smile, "what if .. and i'm just shooting in the dark with this as i know we just met but, would you maybe be interested in a female relationship with .. myself?"
lauren couldn't even process words, she was quite literally speechless. she couldn't believe it, was she just lucky or did god decide to actually do her a favour? a flash of uncertainty went through maria's eyes after a short silence.
"oh my .. i guess i was too bold i'm sorry-"
"no! shhh.. i'd love too actually. i guess i really wasn't joking when i asked you to marry me," lauren laughed sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck. maria smirked smugly, "would you like to?"
"jesus maria i'd thought you'd never ask .. of course," lauren smirked back then sighed in satisfied triumph.
"finally some spice in my boring life huh."
maria thought to herself for a second, and then, "oh laur! what's your number? goodness we were gonna leave without any way to communicate, how silly."
lauren grabbed her phone and the two exchanged contacts. the rest of the bus ride was spent with the two talking, laughing and even daring to hold hands. it was strange, no one just meets someone and gets married right away. which is why spain freaked out when he got a message about it.

s: MARRIAGE ?? ARE YOU CRAZY WOMAN?
l: omfg lmao relax i love her 🙄
s: no you don't get it ... YOU JUST MET HER ?? she could be a serial killer, or maybe she wants to drug you for money OR A KIDNEY
l: buddy i'll be fine 🙄🖐🖐 it's in two months and we've planned it at a vineyard already !! i'm gonna choose my dress so i want you to come 😃
s: fine but if anything happens i warned you and really .. this seems to good to be true

two months later :
on the day of the wedding 𓆉

"and you lauren, take ms. lopez as your lawfully wedded wife?"
"i do 😪💘"
"you may now kiss the bride :)"
*****

"aw lauren i'm so happy, this was such a crazy and surreal thing for us to do and yet .. we pulled it off !!" maria clapped her hands excitedly and kissed lauren's cheek. these last two months spent planning together had been everything to lauren, and they were so compatible it almost felt like a dream. it was almost 2:00 in the morning and they had finally wrapped up and left the party to go home and sleep off the nights festivities and drinking.
————
the morning came with light filtering through the window, lauren had thought she had closed the blinds the night before.
it had almost been 5 months since their marriage and the two were happy as ever. lauren never felt so comfortable and safe with any woman before, (except ukraine), and she never wanted to let maria go. maria loved singing pretty spanish songs to liven up the day, and lauren loved it it too. sometimes lauren would sing in french and for maria, she would almost melt in the sound of her mediocre singing. though to maria it was beautiful, to others ... maybe not so much. but spain was right, it was too good to be true and it broke lauren.
things probably never meant to end up the way they did, but france was a sly bastard. he could manipulate anyone for anything. and when he laid eyes on maria at the wedding .. not so faithful thoughts planted themselves in his mind. france had repeatedly made his feelings clear to maria many times, and finally, when they were both drunk and unaware, had an affair together that lauren walked in on in the morning.
it left lauren hurt, shocked, betrayed, and alone. she had sadly and quickly divorced maria after what had occurred. it took almost a month for everything to be settled and done.
"lauren ... lauren ..." maria called out to the woman in front of her, walking away from the court room towards her car.
"look, i know what happened was not right or just which is why i understood why you've decided to cut me off for good, as it wouldn't have been fair of me to try to persuade you otherwise. but please, one more hug before we part .. then i'll be gone and you can leave." lauren had stopped to hear the spanish woman's plea, then turned around and dove into her arms. they both clung to each other as they broke down in tears. it wasn't fair ... it wasn't fair ... it was not fair.
lauren wanted to scream, and maria held onto herself knowing how bad she wanted to beg for a second chance. though it was a quick embrace as lauren decided it was best to leave before she hurt herself more.
"au revoir ma chérie."
"adios mi corazón."
