Lauren's POV:
I pulled away and rested my forehead against Joeys.
"What are we doing" I asked, a little out of breath.
"What we've both waited to do for a long time i think" He told me.
"Sorry I shouldn't have done that" I said, getting up.
I felt Joeys hand grab mine.
"Lauren don't do this again please" he begged me
"Do what?" i asked.
"give me false hope" He said, looking down.
"Joey, you know we can't do this" i said sitting back down and taking his hands in mine.
"I know.. I guess we left it too long" he said, looking up and into my eyes.
"No, its all my fault, if I never left, me you and Kira could've been a family, with any other possible children" I said, suddenly feeling guilty.
We fell into an uncomfortable silence, for around 10 minutes.
"Lets just pretend this never happened, we'll exchange numbers now for when you next wanna see Kira or whatever and lets be friends" I say smiling at him.
"friends" He says, giving me a hug.
I was having a weird case of deja vu, this is exactly what happened before, us deciding to be friends.
I didnt want that again.
"Kira, Joey's going now" I called up the stairs.
She came running down within 5 seconds and straight into Joey's arms.
"Please, I'm sorry" She said, sounding like she was crying, "Please come and see me again I enjoyed meeting you I love having a real dad".
"Of course im gonna come and see you" He said, wrapping his arms around her.
And then he left.
"Mum?" Kira asked me.
"Yes baby"
"Does dad like me?" She asked me, making me look at her.
"Of course he does, why would you think otherwise?" I asked, shocked at what she'd came out with.
"Well its just he said he had another daughter, and he only stayed for like 45 minutes" she said, tears coming out of her eyes.
I got on my knees and pulled her body into mine, hugging her close.
"Darling, hes loved you ever since you were a baby, never think any different, yes he may have another daughter but you were here first and obviously you're so much more awesome because you're my beautiful kiki and nobody ranks you" I said, trying to lighten the mood.
"i love you mum" She whispered.
"I love you too"
