Lauren doesn't know why she's doing it but as she crawls into the full sized bed beside Amy she can't help but think, Payback, bitch!
Barely two minutes after Lauren snuggles up against Amy the other side of the bed shifts slightly.
"Lauren?" Staring at Lauren from over Amy's shoulder is Tara, her thick mop of chocolate curls makes a messy frame around her light brown face and her dark eyes squint in confusion.
"No I'm the fucking boogey man. Yes it's Lauren!"
Tara gives Lauren a lazy smile. "You're in the bed, and we're like soo naked right now. Nick's going to be disappointed he missed out."
Lauren groans. "God, not you too!"
"Not that I mind," Amy murmurs with her eyes still closed. "But why are you in my bed this early in the morning Lauren?"
"I could have asked you the same question about six times."
Amy's eyes open wide. "Five, it only happened five times!"
"No it was six because you came once before the wedding and then once after."
"Whatever, why are you here?"
"Well if you must know my husband is me driving crazy. Apparently pregnant women are hot."
"It's the boobs." Tara states. Amy and Lauren just stare at her. "What? It's true! Pregnant women get big boobs because of the milk. The body starts preparing for lactation before birth, it's very important because the colostrum, the first breast milk a woman's body produces, carries a lot of antibodies and immunoglo-." Tara stops when she realizes that Amy and Lauren are still staring at her. "What?" she whines.
Amy brushes a dark curl back behind Tara's ear and smiles softly at her. "You're such a cute dork."
Lauren snorts. "That's a fuckin' understatement."
Tara glares at Lauren. "I was a biochemistry major and a pharmacologist before I decided to go manage your husband's restaurant."
Tara's job at The Joint, the restaurant Nick co-owns with a long time college buddy, is a funny story Nick loves to tell. He thought Tara, who was innocently sitting at a table alone in the back of the restaurant waiting on a server, was an applicant seeking the open manager position. Nick had interviewed a confused and utterly clueless Tara for twenty-five minutes before offering her the job. Tara, surprisingly, had accepted the job offer and later that day put in her two week notice at the pharmaceuticals lab she worked for. Nick realized his mistake three months after hiring Tara, at that point he found it to be the most hilarious accident ever.
"Trust me girly, the way you talk sometimes I could never forget what you are. Never!" Lauren states with an exaggerated hiss.
Tara shakes her head. "You're crazy and in bed with us naked. This is just so fucking surreal."
Amy looks horrified and her face goes beet red. "Oh my god, we're naked!"
Tara instantly bursts into laughter.
Lauren rolls her eyes. "No shit and I'm not wearing any underwear," Amy's face gets even redder. "Hold on, do you guys like share clothes?"
Amy face goes from embarrassment to complete confusion. "W-what? Where the hell is that coming from?"
Tara still laughing, nods in agreement. "Yeah you totally just 180'd from our nakedness to our dressing habits."
"Well do you?"
Tara shrugs. "A shirt or two maybe, but clothes in general is a no. Amy's clothes aren't really my style."
"Hey!"
Tara smiles at Amy apologetically. "It's not like that. I like you're clothes on you but not so much on me."
Lauren snorts. "I'm guessing you guys don't share the donut shirts, huh?"
Tara shrinks back, guilty looking. "I tried to burn one."
Lauren bursts into laughter and Amy gapes.
"What?!"
"Sorry love but shirts, especially ones promoting simple sugars and vitamin-less carbohydrates that are slowly eating away at your body, are a no go."
"Are you kidding me? Just yesterday I saw you take down a stack of triple chocolate pancakes at the IHop!"
"Look it was Tuesday, shit happens." Tara defends. "Plus, plus I had a fruit bowl on the side."
Amy quirks an eyebrow. "Shit happens? Seriously?"
Tara nods. "Mmmhmm."
Lauren is just looking between Amy and Tara and laughing. "I came here to escape my horny husband and get some sleep but instead I'm just watching you two lesbos argue about food choices." Lauren laughs even harder. "How could this day get any crazier?"
"You could come and help me introduce Tara to Shane at lunch today."
Lauren snorts. "Hell no!" Then she looks at Tara. "Five words for you Tara: Shane is a bad person."
Tara nods knowingly. "Trust me I already know. He keeps calling Amy trying to get her to talk to…it."
Lauren's eyebrow's scrunch up in confusion. "It?"
"Karma." Amy answers.
"I speak no evil!" Tara states.
Lauren smirks at Tara. "You go girl!" and then asks Amy, "Why the hell is she bothering you? I haven't heard that bitch's name since she asked me about a divorce attorney two months ago."
Amy sighs. "Liam and her are officially separated and well on their way to having a divorce finalized in a couple of months. She's alone with the baby and apparently she wants me to come by her house, sit with her, and play the concerned consoling best friend."
"Whatcha tell her?"
"That she's fuckin' busy." Tara answers with a scowl.
Amy chuckles. "Pretty much that."
"She deserves it…and yeah."
"Yeah, what?" Amy asks confused.
"I'll come to the Shane lunch with you and Tara."
"Well lunch is at noon, and judging by the sunlight shining through window I'm pretty sure it's way after 10 so we might want to start getting ready." Tara states looking towards the window in front of the bed.
"Shane can wait!"
"Fashionably late then?" Tara asks.
Amy smiles. "Eh, why not?"
"Cell development anyone?" Tara smiles hopefully at the two hopefully.
Lauren and Amy nod and relax in the bed, settling in for Tara's long biology lecture. They don't leave out to meet Shane for lunch until after 2 pm. He's pissed to say the least.
