Cake?
Chapter 25
The couple silently listened to the radio as Lauren pulled into the parking lot of the hospital Shane was currently cooped up in.
"Well, here goes an hour in hell." Lauren mumbled
"Don't act like you don't like him." Amy smiled seeing through Lauren's façade. "I know you care about him. That's why you keep coming back."
"I keep coming back because I wanna check on him."
"Because you care." Amy sang before getting out.
"Where the fuck have you two been?" Shane asked when they walked in.
"Hello to you too, Shane." Lauren snarled
"Well if it isn't the bitchy queen of-" Shane tried.
"Shane." Amy stopped him. "Be nice." Amy warned.
"What is up with you two?" Shane asked. "And don't say nothing, because this has been going on since the last time you saw me. I want to know." Shane demanded
"The medicine must be effecting you because there's nothing going on." Amy lied
"I can tell when you lie, Amy."
"I'm not lying." She lied again. Amy looked over and saw Lauren's face drop. That heart clenching feeling came back to Amy again. She took a hold of Lauren's hand. She knew what she had to do.
"Listen Shane, I- we..." Amy struggled. "A lot has happened since the night of the wedding, some good, and some bad, and-"
"Are you gonna tell me you guys like each other or not?" Shane interrupted, taking Amy and Lauren by surprise. "Oh come on, I can tell by the way you look at each other. I'm not blind."
"I-um." Amy tried. "Yeah. We do." Amy smiled.
"See. Now was that so hard?" Shane smiled. "So, when did you guys do the deed?"
"What?" Lauren asked
"I can tell you guys had sex. It's written all over your faces." He said bluntly
"Actually..." Lauren smiled
"What?" He asked
"It happened sooner than you'd probably expect" She smiled. Both girls had deep blushes on their faces.
"When?"
"Well... It kind of happened on the night of the wedding-"
"What!" Shane screamed. "You mean to tell me this has been going on for almost a week, and you didn't tell me."
"Yeah." Lauren said as she sat on the chair near Shane's bed. "We were kind of drunk, but because of that we're together now. I wouldn't change it for anything." She admired Amy from across the room.
"Quit eye fucking each other!" Shane demanded, as Amy broke the stare and sat on the other side of the bed. "I'm hurt you didn't tell me." Shane cried
"We were kind of scared you wouldn't-" Amy started
"I wouldn't what?" Shane asked. "I wouldn't accept it?" He asked as Amy nodded. "I would never! You guys love each other, and you make each other happy. "
"I know but we're-"
"I know you're step sisters, but you're not biologically related. It just took your mom, and your dad meeting, and getting married for you two to realize it. You make each other happy and that's all that matters." Shane finished.
"Thanks Shane." Lauren beamed
"It's kind of my job to help out my favorite lesbian." He smiled quite proud of himself.
"So when do you get out of this place?" Amy asked.
"I can go today if my parents get here in time to sign the discharge papers."
"You wanna go home, don't you?" Amy asked
"Hell yeah." Shane smiled. "This place smells way too clean."
"Of course." Amy laughed. "Shane Harvey only likes the smell of guy's underwear."
"I told you that in confidence!" Shane feigned hurt.
"Things get out." Amy laughed. "My bad."
"How about I tell your little girlfriend about the incident you had with Angela?" Shane asked.
"You wouldn't." Amy said with worried eyes.
"Who's Angela?" Lauren interrupted
"Yeah, Amy." Shane's smile was similar to a Cheshire cat. "Who's Angela?"
"No one." Amy mumbled
"No she's not." Shane corrected
"Who is she, Shane?" Lauren demanded
"Oh, Angela is a friend Amy made at a gay bar we went to." Shane grinned. "Let's just say she was a little frisky."
"You make that sound like a bad thing." Amy frowned.
"Amy." Lauren said making eye contact with Amy. "Who's Angela?"
"We went to some stupid gay bar, and she was just a girl I met there." Amy explained
"Yeah." Shane started. "A girl that wanted to hook up with you-"
"She didn't want to hook up with-" Amy tried
"She gave you her number."
"Yeah, but I didn't want to hook up with her."
"And that's how I know Lauren's special." Shane smiled at the two. "A hot, sexy brunette, with big boobs didn't even make Amy bat an eyelash."
"This makes me feel great." Lauren said sarcastically.
"But you did." Shane smiled. "I see the way she looks at you. She doesn't just look like she wants to fuck you. She always has a look of love, and admiration on her face when she looks at you. That's rare, and that's how I know you're good for her."
"You have a weird way of telling people you like them." Amy laughed.
"I'm not saying I like her." Shane corrected. "I'm saying I'll try, because she loves you, and you love her."
"Thanks Shane." Lauren smiled. "It's a lot easier when everyone tries to get along."
"Now that doesn't mean I like you. It just means I'll tolerate you, for Amy's sake."
"Same goes to you." Lauren agreed.
The subject was on all their minds', but no one was willing to bring it up. Not until Shane finally had the courage.
"So how's Karma?" He asked slowly
"She's going to California for a while." Amy explained. "She left a couple of hours ago."
"I hope she'll be okay. Any word on Liam?"
"Five girls came forward. They were victims if his sick act as well." Lauren snarled, as Shane nodded that he understood. Talking about the guy Shane once called a friend, the same guy that hurt Karma. He was the reason Shane was sitting in that bed. He was the reason Karma was on a plane to California. It made all of them uncomfortable, and sick to their stomach's.
"I-I think we should go." Lauren interrupted the silence that fell over them. "The place I want to take Amy is a little far from here."
"Yeah. I think I need the rest, and some time to think." Shane explained with an apologetic look on his face.
"Okay." Amy agreed as she got up and took a hold of Lauren's hand. "We'll see you later."
"Hopefully you won't be attached to a bunch of machines then." Lauren smiled when she saw Shane's middle finger before leaving the room. She had a lot of explaining to do, and she wasn't looking forward to it. But that will wait until they got to the location she wanted to show Amy.
"You ready?" She asked Amy once she got in the driver's side.
"Always." Amy said before she leaned over and pecked Lauren's lips.
"Here we go." Lauren thought to herself.
