Chapter 10

"I think I'm falling in love with you "

Joey's p.o.v

Lauren was just standing there staring at me i wasn't sure if this was a good sign or not.I don't know if she has really taken it in.

"Lo" i said hoping i would get some sort of reaction out of her but i didn't she just kept staring st me.

"Please say something " i urged.

She still said nothing until he phone rang.

"I better get this" she said before walking out.

End of Joey's p.o.v

Lauren's p.o.v

No matter how hard i tried to respond to what Joey had just told me. I just can't handle the thought of 2 men being in love with me cause then no matter what happens I'm going to end up hurting someone.

I was trying so hard to find the right thing to say but it just didn't come to me when my phone starting ringing bringing me from my thoughts.

I looked at it to see it was Ryan.

I looked at Joey finally finding my voice and telling him that i needed to answer it. I left the car lot and headed for the bench in the middle of the square i took a deep breath before answering it.

Lo: Hey

Ryan: Hey Lo is everything OK.

Lo:Yer why wouldn't it be?

Ryan:No reason you just sound a bit stressed

Lo:No I'm not stressed just have a lot going on you know with mum and everything.

Ryan:oh OK listen i have something to tell you.

Lo:Really what's that there are no problems are there?

Ryan:No don't worry babe its nothing like that the opposite in fact the restaurant is up and running now so I'm coming to England for as long as you need to be there.

Lo:That's grate babe i can't wait to see you.I better go cause i have work in half an hour.

Ryan:OK babe I'll see you soon i should be ready to come over in about a week and half to two weeks time.

Lo:OK let me know when you have bought your tickets.

Ryan:Will do love you baby.

Lo:Love you to bye.

Well if my mind wasn't everywhere before today it certainly was now.I really didn't expect Ryan to be ready to come back so quickly.

I felt really bad that Ryan was coming all the way back here when i could end up dumping him or what worried me slightly more is that Joey could just come out and tell him that we slept together.

I have no idea what i am going to do and the worst thing is i can't talk to anyone about it cause Joey's my cousin and Lucy got hurt really badly by him. And well Whitney is Ryan sister and not only would she tell Ryan and the whole square but she would probably kill me as well.

For the first time in ages i want a drink which just makes me hate myself more.

I don't know if Joey meant what he said before i think he could just be saying that so i would get with him cause from what i have heard from people round here Joey Branning doesn't fall in love.

Walking back in number 5 after spending a few hours just walking around trying to get my head around everything that has been said today. I saw Joey walking down the stairs and i smiled weakly at him before walking into the living room him following pretty much straight away.

" We need to talk" i said sitting down.

"Yer about what i said earlier" he said.

"I know you didn't mean it . Was it like some sort of sick joke to you?" i questioned.

"What no i meant every word i was just going to say i hope i didn't scare you off by saying it i mean we haven't really know each other very long. But i have never felt this way before i just had to tell you"he said.

"Its not that you scared me off it was just from what i have heard from people round here you don't fall in love" i said sighing.

"Yer before that was true but not anymore not since i met you. You have changed me" he said.

I couldn't believe what he was saying i looked into his eyes as he said it and all i could see was honesty.

"I have something i need to tell you" i said knowing i had to tell him about Ryan before he fell completely in love with me.

"Sure what is it " he questioned smiling.

"Your not going to like it i just hope you don't end up hating me" i said.

End of Lauren's p.o.v

Joey's p.o.v

When Lauren said i wasn't going to like it i started to get quite worried about what she was going to say. I was just hoping it wasn't going to be that she doesn't feel the same way as me.

I know she feels something for me I'm just not sure if she is falling for me like I'm falling for her.

"Lauren you are starting to scare me now will you please just tell me " i pleaded.

"Ryan is moving here" she said.

I looked at her for a second before sighing.

"I know you told me but that's not till he has the restaurant up and running so you still have plenty of time to work out how you feel i wont push you i promise" i said.

"You don't get it it is ready he is going to be here in the next two weeks" she said.

I felt like i could cry i have never felt like that when i came to a girl but i guess that's cause i have never really felt anything for any girl before. Did this mean she was choosing him over me just cause he was moving here.

"So where does this leave us" i questioned.

"I don't know i mean he is moving all the way here for me " she said sighing.

"So you want to forget about what happened between us " i said.

" I don't know I'm sorry Joey i really am i don't want to end up hurting anyone " she said while tears escaped her eyes

"Look i need to get to work " i said before leaving ignoring her calling me as i left i just needed to get out of there.

I think by Lauren saying she doesn't want to hurt anybody she has just made her choice and its not me cause it means she is not going to tell Ryan what happened between us.

I wasn't surprised not really i mean she has been with him for 4 years and she only had a one night stand with me well that's probably how she sees it anyway.

I know one thing for sure seeing them together is going to be really hard for me but I guess I'm just going t have to get use to it.
