When Lauren woke up she saw that Joey was still sleeping and that all she had on was her underwear. She slipped out of Joey's arms, trying not to wake him and got out of bed to grab one of Joey's shirts, she didn't feel like wearing trousers. She then walked downstairs and looked to see if he had anything for breakfast, she found ingredients to make toast, and pancakes. She also found some bacon, she started cooking. Lauren was mixing things here and cooking something over there, but she wasn't overwhelmed. It was just that she liked to always have something to do while cooking so she wasn't waiting twenty minutes for something to get done, so she did it all at once. Lauren was flipping the last pancake when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist from behind.
"Morning, beautiful."
"Morning." Lauren said turning her head to Joey and giving him a kiss before taking the last pancake and putting it on top of the other pancakes. Joey rested his head on her shoulder.
"You hungry?" Lauren asked turning the cooker off and spinning around in his arms
"Yes."
"Good." Lauren gave him a kiss. "Now go sit down and I'll bring it to you."
"Okay." Joey said walking into the living room. Lauren grabbed a plate and headed in the livingroom. She had eaten a pancake and a few pieces of bacon while cooking.
"Here you go." Lauren said sweetly handing Joey the plate and sitting on the couch next to him.
"Thank you, Lauren." Joey leaned over and kissed Lauren on the nose, once she pulled away she scrunched it and smiled.
"I'm gonna go clean up and take a shower." Lauren said standing up and walking towards the kitchen.
"Okay, don't be long."
"I won't." Lauren went into the kitchen and cleaned the counter, washed the pans and put everything away. Then, she headed upstairs to take a shower. While she was in the shower she was singing the song that reminded her of Joey.
I have died everyday waiting for you. Darling don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years, I'll love you for a thousand more.
Lauren felt alone and sad those years she didn't have Joey, but she never stopped loving him, and she never would.
She got out the shower and got dressed, then headed downstairs to see Joey by the window staring at the city. Lauren walked up beside him.
"What ya looking at?" She asked looking at Joey.
"Just trying to figure out where I want to take you today?"
"Have you thought of anything?"
"I've got a few places I want to take you. There's also someone I want you to meet."
"Who?"
"He's a really good friend of mine from work and. He knows all about you."
"How?"
"All I did was talk about you when I was out with him, and had always wanted to meet you. He helped me throw myself into my work instead of drowning in my sadness. "
"Well, he sounds nice and I can't wait to meet him."
Lauren gave Joey a kiss, then grabbed his hand and walked over to the couch. Joey sat down first and she sat on his lap.
"I'm going to go get a shower and then we can head out. Sound good?" Lauren kissed him once more before getting off of his lap.
"Sounds perfect. Where are we going first?"
"We are going to get lunch. then we are going to go meet my mate"
