It was all I could think about all day. Stephen and Kendall, I can't quite take it all in. I mean my friends Emma and Claire from Dublin were both pregnant and it didn't surprise me but I just can't see Stephen being a father.
My anger towards Kendall about not wanting me and Stephen being friends quickly passed. I suppose things between them was a lot more serious now.
''Hey'' Nicole said chirpily, taking a seat beside me
''Good morning''
''Whats the problem?''
''Oh nothing just a lot on my mind'' I said a little dazed
''You are really living the life hunny. What ever happened with you and Stephen?''
''Nothing''
'Oh, that why you're down?''
''Oh no! Of course not.''
''Well you're dating Jake I suppose thats bound to pull you down'' She blurted
''Whats that supposed to mean?'' I snapped
''Nothing, hes just..up to no good thats all''
I stood up in fury
''I am SICK of people telling me whats good for me!'' I roared then marched out of the room.
* * *
''A few of us are going Area tonight, please come. Its one of my last nights of freedom I suppose'' Stephen said over the phone
''Of course I'll go'' I said then hung up
I best get ready. I came downstairs with my hair done and wearing a black one shoulder bodycon cut out dress.
I jumped into a taxi and made my way to area. I was greeted at the door by Rebecca and Kyndra. They looked amazing, Becca in red bodycon dress and Kyndra in white.
I stayed chatting with them for a while.
''So Lauren, about 12 of us are heading to Palm Springs to stay in mine for a week, well Spring break.'' Rebecca said invitingly
''Oh woah, do you have a house there>''
''I do, and you're comming right?'' She smiled
''I'd love to''
''Oh great'' She smiled
I excued myself and made my way inside where Stephen and Kendall were at the bar. He gave me a look signalling me not to come over. I got the messege at least Jake came to talk to me. I felt a little giddy as he came towards me. He was wearing a cream fitted shirt with hs top two buttons open and revealing his immaculatly smoothly tanned skin. His body was perfect and it fitted greatly in his shirt.
''Lookin well Hartnett'' He said
''Hi Jake'' I laughed
He smiled at me with his cheeky grin. He scanned my body and slyly bit the corner of his lip. He smelled amazing.
He ordered a few rounds of shots for us. We knocked them back and messed around. We sat down and he kept his arm around my shoulders.
''I'd leave right now if you said you'd come home with me'' He whispered into my ear
I giggled, even saying stuff like this gave me butterflys.
More of his friends came and joined us. Shane, off his football team leaned over the table.
''Come to the strippers man'' He said
Jake looked at me as if we were choosing between me and the strippers.
''Na man''
''Aw come on''
Jake turned to me, ''I'll see you later'' He said before getting us and walking to the strippers.
I went to find Nicole. She was standing with her back to me.
''Hi Nicole'' I said
She didn't turn around
''Hi Lauren'' She said over her shoulder
''I'm so sorry for snapping at you''
''Its cool, I'm don't hold grudges. I appreciate the apology though''
''I understand you were just giving your opinion''
We were interrupted by Rebecca.
''LAUREN! Come dance'' She roared
I nodded at Nicole and made my way to the dance floor. As soon as we got there I spotted Jake with some girl on top of him. Rebecca caught me staring/
''Its just expected'' She said suddenly very serious
''I suppose'' I said still staring
''You okay?''
''Not really, I was starting to like him. I'm gona go outside for a bit'' She nodded and i turned to go outside. Stephen was sitting alone outside. I took a seat beside me.
''You alright?'' He asked concerned
''Jakes with some girl''
''Oh typical'' Stephen said then turned and stared into the distance
''Yep, how are you?'' I asked
''Not great to be honest, pregnancy thing has kind of just hit me now and Kendalls having mood swings and shes becoming unbelievably clingy and over protective. Girls were flirting with me earlier, it was real innocent and she was ready to annihilate them''
''Oh'' I said surprised
Just then Kendall came thundering out of the club.
''WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE? AND WHY ARE YOU WITH HER??'' Kendall roaed
I leaned back my head in surprise, I had never seen her like this.
''Kendall calm down'' I said
''Who do YOU think you are? I told you to stay away from HER'' She yelled at Stephen
''Kendall, were friends''
''Whatever'' She said then stormed off
''I'm so sorry for that, I best go after her'' He said , then stood up and walked after her
I nodded. A group of girls who had clearly been ease-dropping to our conversation sat down where Stephen had been sitting/
''You're Lauren Hartnett?''
''I am'' I said a little confused
''You're dating Stephen Miller! You're so lucky, hes the most beautiful boy I've ever met''
''Me and Stephen arent dating, hes with Kendall'' I said
''Oh really? Shes so lucky!'' They all giggled
''Why did you think I was dating Stephen?''
''I overheard him talking about you earlier'' A tall brunette announced
''Saying what?'' I asked
''Thats he tied down for now, he messed things up between you's two and how he had never felt feelings for anyone like the ones he has for you..or something like that''
I didn't even answer, I sat back In my seat. I felt so weird, I had to go see him. All is I could think about was how Stephen is taken forever basically. I stood up and attempted to run after him in my heels. I found him walking down the main street in the cold wind.
''Lauren what are you doing here I-''
I interrupted him by wrapping my arms around him neck and kissing him lustfully.
''What was that I-''
''I'm sorry Stephen I couldn't help it. In the back of my head I always thought we could be together one day and i'v been thinking how that wont happen anymore because of you and Kendall's, its stupid because I don't like you like that I just , I just don't know whats going on I-''
He interrupted my rant by pasionatly kissing me again. I pulled away after a few seconds.
''What are we doing? We can't do that, if Kendall found out....'' I began
He looked at me with pain in his eyes.
''I better go, bye Stephen'' I said , i turned and made my way back to the club.
