Apocalyptour Madness
Ch. 9
Darren just shook his head, "You know me and Lauren we can't stop goofing around. She is like this ball of energy, and I don't know it just, it just really gets me going." Joey shot Darren a look, "Not like that man! I mean I am 100% attracted to her that way of course, but I also just love being around her."
Joey smiled; he loved watching Darren loose his composure over Lauren. He had been doing it for years now. Even when he was dating Mia, being around Lauren would make him jumpy and excited. "So am I going to hear details on your date, or are you just going to gush on about your feelings! But remember keep it PG Lauren is like my little sister. I don't want to know if you had your tongue down her throat."
Darren just laughed, "What makes you think we were sticking our tongues down each other's throats!" Joey looked at him, "Okay! There was a little of that! But that wasn't all we did! We mainly just goofed around and stuff. We got ice cream, I don't know why though; Lauren's lips were practically blue."
"It isn't even that cold out!"
"I know! That wimp! But after ice cream we stopped back at her place, grabbed two blankets, and went to the beach. I made Lauren put another jacket on, because we were not going to miss the sunset."
"Awh look at wittle Darren, what a romantic! But seriously dude, did you tell her yet? And I don't mean in that playful way, like the way you tell Jaime..."
"No, I didn't tell Lauren I love... wait! Hey! I am telling you about Lauren and I completely forgot I left you with Jaime alone!"
Shit, Joey thought to himself. "Yeah, what about it?" He tried to play it off casually.
"Well how was it dude?" Darren asked as they pulled up to the manor. Darren shut off the car and waited for Joey to answer.
"It was good." Joey said getting out of the car. The sooner he got away from Darren the better. Joey pushed opened the door to the manor; only find all the guys in the living room.
Jim looked across the room; he was wearing a blue headband on his head with a picture of a rat on it. Joey chuckled; a group of grown men would play the game headbandz. "Well, look who decided to come home! The two love birds!" The rest of the group made various noises just as Darren walked in.
"Who me and Joey?" Darren asked, "Please Joey ditched me and spent time with Jaime." The group of boys looked at Joey.
Brian sat back in his chair and smirked, "Oh really Joey?"
Joey was completely flabbergasted! "That is not what happened! Darren and Lauren ran away claiming they had something to do! I just hung out with Jaime because Lauren ditched her."
"Yeah, I am sure that's how it went down." Joe Walker rolled his eyes. Joey went to defend himself but Walker held his hand up, "Joey, when are you just going to admit that you have feelings for Jaime."
Dylan chimed in, "Come on dude I know you do. We had bunks across each other while we were on SPACE. You two practically texted every single night."
Joey was starting to get defensive. He didn't want his friends to know of his feelings for Jaime because he knows that they can get in the way of things. "Guys! I don't have feelings for Jaime okay." Joey said slightly annoyed. "We are best friends, she tells me things and I tell her things, just like the rest of do. There is nothing wrong with having a girl as your best friend. I am not Joey Richter from Me and My Dick and Jaime is not Sally. They were characters we played! That's it! Nothing else! And as for what we did tonight, Darren! It is none of your business! " Joey finished his rant, and looked at his friends shocked expression.
"Woah Joey, chill." Clark stated calmly, "We didn't mean to bud in..."
Joey just shook his head and walked to his room and shut the door.
"Well someone is touchy," Rosenthal claimed from the spot he was laying at on the couch.
The boys all nodded in agreement, and then Holden got an evil glint in his eye, "So Darren... A Miss Lopez strikes your fancy?"
Darren shrugged modestly, "Darren doesn't know?" He tired hopelessly. The whole group took their pillows and whipped them at him. "Alright! Maybe I do! But! I haven't said anything to her. Obviously she knows that I like her and I know she likes me."
Jim spoke up, "Well yeah that's obvious. Lo has had a crush on you since Little White Lie."
"Yeah well..." Darren paused, realizing what Jim had said, "She had a crush on me since Little White Lie?"
Jim laughter filled the room, the rest of the men just stared at him, "Yeah, she told me after the kissing scene. It was funny really; I found her flipping out behind the garage. At first I thought she was practicing her lines, but then I heard her talking to herself, and well let's just say it was going to be hard for her to talk herself out of that one."
Darren looked at Jim, "You are unbelievable! If you said something me and Lauren could have happened years ago! I would have never dated Mia, and never watched Lauren get hurt! Why didn't you tell me!"
Jim answered as honestly as he could, "Listen Darren, were friends, and we are really close, but simply put Lauren is more scary then you! And when you promise her something; You better keep that promise because if you don't, Lauren might kill you in your sleep.
Everyone laughed, because they knew it was true. Even Darren knew; that when Lauren said pinky swear she meant business.
