Lauren POV

I walked up to the door after hearing a knock. He finally showed up nearly thirty minutes later.

"Where were you?" I asked leaning on the door.

"Well I had to jump in the shower because I just came from practice and then I went to pick us up some food. You hungry?" He lifted the bag of food up and wiggled it while smiling.

I rolled my eyes and walked back to the couch. He followed my movement closing the door behind him and sitting down as well.

"Aye who's house is this?"

"My grandma's. Why?"

He shook his head. "Just asking." He then pulled out two plates of food. The smell hit my nose letting me know it was Chinese, which was my favorite. After that came the two egg rolls.

He handed me one." Enjoy." He smiled.

I looked at it then back to him. "I thought you said you brought us food?"

"I did. I got me two plates and I got you an egg roll. Is that not enough?" He said with a serious look.

"You're such an asshole." I laughed throwing it at him. He smirked and handed me a plate.

We ate in silence for a few minutes watching Love & HipHop.

"So why are you over here?" He asked breaking the silence.

I chewed down my food before replying.

"I don't know. I felt like I needed space that's all. Also being at my other house my privacy was getting violated by my brother. Believe it or not him and my dad would work together to spy on me."

He raised his eyebrows. "You're just now finding out about that. They been doing that for years baby." He smiled shaking his head.

I shoved his arm. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well because I really didn't like you at that time. Plus I always thought you were a brat too."

I gasped. "I am not."

He smacked his lips and tilted his head. "Lauren you were like crazy spoiled growing. You always thought if you cried you get what you want and you did. I think you still are right now."

"And how would you know?" I challenged him.

"Look where you staying at."

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever." I responded laughing.

"That's cool though because that's just something Ima have to deal with. When I make it to the NFL you gon have whatever you want. I'm gonna take care of you alright." He put a spoonful of rice in his mouth.

I just stared at him and smiled.

"Okay. So what did you wanted to talk about? And why do you seem so different all of sudden...like happy."

"What you talking I'm always happy."

"Yeah but you seem a lil different now."

"I don't know but me and your brother talked today." He sat his plate down taking a sip of his Gatorade.

"Really, what happened?"

"Nothing bad, I mean I just explained to him how I wasn't going to hurt if we ever got together and I think that's why he was basically upset with me because he thought all I was trying to do was fuck you." He looked me up and down.

I turned my attention towards the tv. "Oh, okay." I said a little bit over a whisper.

"Which I'm not." He added.
