Okay, I'm finally back and will start updating all my stories. I finally got my computer working fully and I promise not to disappear again. By the way, if you ever need a new computer, never buy from Hewlett-Packard as it takes forever for them to fix it if there's a problem. It took over 3 months for them to repair my lap top and their customer service totally sucks and blows at the same time.
I hope your still interested in reading my stories after all this time….
Come as you are
CHAPTER 11
"Lauren! Open the door right now, I don't want to be apart of your juvenile games. Lauren, I'm not kidding. LAUREN!" Sydney screamed and banged on the door. When that didn't seem to make any difference, she kicked the door with her foot.
"Sydney, it's no point at screaming at the door or your sister when you really want to yell at me. I'm sorry that you saw Nadia kissing me at the party." Michael said gently and looking at a furious looking Sydney.
"Not listening. Can't hear anything other than annoying, cheating background noise." Sydney said while blocking her ears with her hands.
"Just listen to me! I DID NOT cheat on you. I love you." Michael tried again and took her face to his hands. She stubbornly refused to look at him in the eyes, choosing to look at the racks filled with Lauren's clothes instead.
"If kissing someone else doesn't constitute as cheating, I could just as well start making out with Julian or someone else and you couldn't say anything to that," Sydney said with a even tone and still refused to look at Michael's green eyes, part of her fearing that she couldn't keep her resolve if she did look into those gorgeous eyes.
"No matter how mad you are at me, you wouldn't ever make out with Julian because for one, you can't stand him and two, he's dating Lauren, your beloved twin sister." Michael said with a laugh, which only angered Sydney more.
"You're acting like a jackass, Michael. Obviously there aren't that many differences between you and Julian after all. I can see the family resemblance quite clearly now, both arrogant and insensitive womanizing morons," Sydney spitted out of her mouth and hurled the closest sharp object she could find, Lauren's metallic purse, at Michael hitting him squarely in the stomach.
"Are we even now? 'Cause the bag hurt like a bitch, which isn't surprising since it's your sisters," Michael said trying to make the situation less dramatic and serious.
"Here you go again, attacking my sister. All you do is call her names or insult her otherwise. Why? Lauren's my sister and a very nice person, who doesn't deserve you ragging on her every chance you get. Besides it was you who was making out with a bitch." Sydney said not amused by Michael's attempt at humor. Her patience was growing thin and him calling Lauren names didn't help the situation in her mind. Yes, Lauren could be a world class pain in the butt sometimes, but she was family.
"Syd, I know your mad, but you're overreacting a bit. Are we actually going to break up because of something so petty and dumb?" Michael said, this time with a much more serious tone.

"So do you think they have patched things up by now?" Lauren asked from Julian, her blue eyes sparking as they were laying in Sydney's bed.
"They are either killing each other or having sex as we speak," Julian said with amusement and hoped that they could drop the topic of their feuding relatives and concentrate on using the bed they currently were in.
"I don't know which on of those is better. I don't want them to kill each other obviously, but the thought of them getting it on surrounded by my priceless couture is a little nauseating." Lauren said with a giggle and tried to push the thought away as quickly as possible.
Julian took her silence as a sign and started kissing her deeply. Lauren responded to the kiss and tangled her hands in his short blonde hair. They stayed in that heated kiss, until Julian decided to take things a little further by letting his hands travel to the hem of her dress and in one swift motion he had pulled the dress of off her body leaving her only in her black undergarments. Lauren found the buttons of his shirt and her graceful, elegant fingers were quick in removing the white garment off his body.
Lauren felt her head spinning as Julian was kissing her neck and felt a slight panic rising from her stomach. She had never been with a man like this and didn't think she was fully ready for this after all.
"Julian…stop. Julian, I don't think I'm ready for this. I haven't been with anyone like this, not even with Thomas." Lauren finally said awkwardly, she had portrayed herself as an experiences woman of the world and now she had to confess that indeed she was a virgin after all.
"You're kidding right. You're the most sexually expressive person I know and obviously you can't be a virgin." Julian said without thinking and the words came out completely wrong.
"What! You think I'm a cheap slut, don't you. Well, this cheap slut will not be having sex with you. Not now nor ever," Lauren screeched and pushed Julian off of her and shot daggers into the blond man.
"Lauren, I didn't mean it that way. I'm sorry," Julian said as Lauren gathered her dress from the floor and put it on in a hurry. She also grapped her shoes and then left the room without glancing in Julian's direction. He quickly put on his shirt and followed the furious blonde woman out of the room.
Lauren made her way back to her room and unlocked her closet to find Sydney and Michael in the middle of a huge argument. She locked her eyes with her sister and shot an ugly look at Michael, while ignoring Julian's presence.
--
Twenty minutes later, the Bristow's and the Vaughn's were sitting in the dining room enjoying a great meal. The mood of the room was a lot more tense then usual and it puzzled Irina in particular. Usually Lauren was the center of attention and entertained the guests with stories of school, but now the blonde was sitting sullenly next to an equally unhappy looking Sydney, who Irina had spotted kicking Michael under the table when the dinner was being served.
Jack and Bill hadn't noticed anything unusual and were chatting amicably about their next movie project and Michael and Julian were both shoveling food into their mouths looking grim. Anna had tried to converse with Sydney about her future plans, but gave up when her questions were met with unenthusiastic one word answers.
The dinner progressed in the same manner and after they all finished eating, the girls politely excused themselves from the table.

"Men suck," Lauren exclaimed at her sister as the twins were laying in Lauren's bed.
"Not going to disagree about that. So what happened between you and Julian to make you join my 'I hate men' faction?" Sydney asked curiously.
"Nothing. I don't wanna talk about it. So you and Michael obviously didn't kiss and make up," Lauren said wanting to talk about something other than Julian.
"Tell me what happened. You're upset and something definitely happened when you were alone with him," Sydney tried again, really wanting to know what it could be so bad that it would rattle her usually cool-as-a-cucumber twin sister.
"Fine. We were kissing and when I told him I was a virgin, he basically laughed in my face and didn't believe it." Lauren said not looking at Sydney. The moment had been one of the most humiliating moments in her life and she didn't want it to become public knowledge.
"You are a virgin?" Sydney asked surprised. As she noticed the look of hurt in Lauren's blonde features, she placed a gentle hand in her arm.
"Great, even my own sister thinks that I sleep around. This day just keeps on getting better and better," Lauren said rising from the bed and looking at Sydney angrily.
"Of course I don't think you sleep around. I was just caught off guard by your confession." Sydney apologized sensing this was a touchy subject for Lauren.
"Let's talk about something else, please. I don't want to discuss this anymore," Lauren said with steely determination and returned to lay on the bed.
"Why don't we do something fun, like watch a movie or something. That will take our minds off of guys that aren't worth getting upset over. How's that sound?" Sydney asked cheerfully, wanting to not only lift Lauren's mood, but also take her mind off of Michael.
"Great idea, sis. We could watch pro wrestling, nothing improves the mood more than the hunks of the WWE," Lauren said excitedly.
"I was gonna suggest that we watch Golden Girls. It always makes me laugh and laughing is exactly what we need right now," Sydney said with a giggle shaking her head about the idea of them two spending the Saturday night watching muscle-heads body slamming each other.
"Do you seriously want to spend the night watching four old ladies discussing cheesecake and dentures when we could watch studly, muscular, oiled up men wrestling each other dressed in Speedos. That's what I call entertainment," Lauren said hitting Sydney in the head with a pillow.
"I can totally see it now why you're a virgin. And you think Star War fans don't ever get any, but pro wrestling fans most likely get even less action, if that's any way possible," Sydney joked and grapped the pillow from Lauren's hands and flung it right back at the blonde.
Lauren knew she most likely should take offense, but couldn't stay mad at Sydney when she was looking at her with that goofy expression on her face. Instead of starting a pillow fight, Lauren rose from the bed and went to her DVD collection and took a particular DVD out of it.
"I know what we can watch that will be something that both of us likes. This," Lauren said with a mischievous wink and dangled a Casino Royale DVD in front of Sydney that she was very familiar with.
"I like they way you think. Now we both have something to drool over, Daniel Craig is seriously hot," Sydney said approvingly and made herself more comfortable in Lauren's bed.
Three hours later, when Irina came to see what her daughters where doing, she found the two asleep on the bed with Lauren on her stomach and Sydney on her side. They looked so peaceful and Irina didn't want to wake them up. She stood at the door for a few minutes just looking at her children and then retreated back to the master bedroom.
