Dare to Believe
Chapter 25- Hidden Secrets.
The next morning, Lauren woke up to soft lips being pressed to her temples. She groaned as she began to come around.
"Come on, sleeping beauty, time
to wake up. I bring supplies" She heard Joey tell her and she could smell coffee, so she guessed this is what he meant. She sighed and opened her eyes to see him leaning over her, grinning.
"What?" Lauren said, groaning.
"I could watch you sleep all day" Joey informed her, handing her the coffee.
"Cos that isn't creepy at all" She replied, taking the coffee and took a sip before placing it down on the bedside table, grabbing his hand as he turned to go.
"Er, where are you going?" She asked, pulling him back to her bed.
"Your parents are gonna wonder where I am. Or if you murdered me for waking you" He replied, smirking.
"Nope, don't care. Abi or Mum will work it out. I want morning cuddles and you know I'm not good in the morning so you best do as I say" Lauren told him, pulling back her covers. He groaned but then laughed as he got into bed with her as she laid across his chest, sighing with content.
"You can be very demanding when you want to be. Makes me question my better judgement" Joey told her, wrapping his arm tighter around her.
"Then it's clearly not your better judgement is it?" Lauren said, giggling.
"You have perked up. I take it sex in an alleyway agrees you?" He questioned. She nodded, smirking. He laughed and kissed her forehead.
"Yeah, I think we should do it again sometime" She said, smiling.
"So my girl likes it rough? I will bare that in mind" Joey told her, smirking. Lauren rolled her eyes.
"Damn, I wish I could be bothered to move to sort my morning breath out so I could kiss you" She replied, snuggling more into his chest.
"Then maybe you'll let me kiss you somewhere else then because that require hardly any moving at all" He said to her, raising an eyebrow, looking down at her. She nodded and bit her lip before rolling off him, smirking as she pulled down her pyjama bottoms, still smiling.
"Always ready. That's what I love about you" He said, moving as well as he placed her legs over his shoulders.
"Just that?" Lauren asked, smirking as she closed her eyes for a moment.
"Nope, open them, babe. I need to see it when I make you come" He told her. She opened her eyes, loving the fact how he could make a sweet moment into a really hot moment as he kissed the insides of her legs, slowly before reaching her middle, beginning the switch between kissing and sucking.
Lauren moaned slowly as she leaned back, the balls of her feet pressing firmly against the top of Joey's back as her hands knotted themselves in his hair, keeping him there as she tried to process the feeling of his tongue and lips on the most sensitive part of her body.
"Look at me" He whispered, looking up at her, his eyes dark with lust. She gasped as she looked down at him, his eyes not leaving hers as his mouth found her middle again, sucking harder as her core began to shudder and she climaxed violently around him as he carried on kissing the insides of her legs, as Lauren tried to control her scream, resulting to burying her head in her pillow to mask out the sound.
Joey chuckled as he laid next to her, pulling her back into his arms as she came down from her high.
"There has to be a crime against being that sexy" She said, panting a little as she laid her head on his chest.
"Yeah, there is and you have committed it often but I won't tell anyone if you won't" He replied, kissing her forehead. She giggled as she pulled up her pyjamas bottoms.
"Now, I should really go back downstairs" Joey added, with a sigh, kissing her forehead quickly and left the room.
Abi had dragged Lauren shopping on her day off sixth form. Abi had left her sister in the middle of the underwear section whilst trying things on when Lauren realised maybe it wasn't just Abi that needed to buy anything that day.
It made Lauren giddy as she walked home and went to her wardrobe. She found her high waisted skirt and Joey's shirt as she quickly changed. Then she walked to the club where she knew he was working alone.
"So Abi dragged me shopping today" Lauren started to say as she sat on a barstool, crossing her legs.
"Oh yeah, can't of been much fun for you" Joey replied, as he carried a crate of beer to the back of the bar before walking past Lauren to get some more.
"I brought something. I'm too sure if I like them or not now. Can you give me your honest opinion?" She asked, smirking a little. He turned around, crossing his arms, smiling a little too.
"Why do I get the feeling I'm going to like it a lot?" Joey questioned, raising an eyebrow. Lauren shrugged before pulling her skirt up slightly to reveal she wasn't wearing tights but lacy black stockings. His mouth fell open before smirking widely.
"Oh god, I do love you. Give me two seconds I need to sort something out then I can show you how much I like them" He said, quickly leaving to sort to the rest of the crates out as Lauren jumped off the barstool and walked over to the sofas, sitting down and crossing her legs, making sure her skirt was high and stockings were on show, smirking as Joey walked back into the club.
"You have committed the sexy crime again, Miss Branning" He said, walking towards her.
"Then surely I need to be punished for it?" She questioned, as he walked closer to her and she sat up, going on her knees, her hands touching his shoulders as he met her.
"Oh yes, you do, alot" He replied, burying his hands in her hair, kissing her passionately, groaning loudly as he flipped them over, fast so he was on top and ravishing the good side of her neck as he grabbed one of her legs and wrapped it around his waist.
"They are not the only things that are new" Lauren said, gasping as he began to undo the shirt, being careful on the bandages as he saw she was wearing a matching black lacy bra. He buried his head in her cleavage as he breathed in her scent.
"I can't even take the time to appreciate them because you made me, so, argh, Your gonna be the death of me, woman" Joey replied, placing a hand under her skirt and touched her warm flesh through her kickers. He felt lace there too. He growled as he kissed her again, pushing aside the kickers and inserted a finger.
"Always ready, always eager, always wet" He whispered in her ear then gently tucked her earlobe.
Lauren gasped his name as she leaned her head back.
"Please" She pleaded, as he inserted a second finger and stroked her gently.
"Tell me, Lauren, what do you want me to do?" He asked, kissing her roughly and quickly.
"I want you" She whispered, gasping as he circled her core.
"You have me. You had me the moment you came here with them stockings on. Funny how the power can be switched so quickly" Joey told her, kissing her face, her neck as she lifted her arms and undid his shirt, having decided he was wearing too many clothes.
"Tell me, Lauren, what do you want me to do?" He asked again, kissing her neck.
"I want you to.."
"Go on, baby. Say it"
"Fuck me. Just fuck me please" She said, finding her voice and leaning her head back. He chuckled before kissing her again and unbuckled his trousers, pushed them and his boxers down, before pushing her black kickers down and entered her. Lauren gasped as he kissed her quickly, as he began to pick up speed, wrapping one of her legs around his waist as she placed her arms around his neck, pulling him closer, taking a moment to look at their moving bodies.
"Yes, we look good don't we?" Joey questioned. Lauren gasped and nodded, as he buried his head in her shoulder. She felt her insides clench as they got faster and his thrusted more into her.
"You know why that is don't you, baby?" He then asked. She didn't know to quite fair, she just knew it was good.
"You were made for me, that's why" He added, answering her unspoken question and shuddered. This brought on Lauren's climax as she titled her head back, screaming with pleasure and during hers, Joey started to come undo and groaned loudly as he slipped himself into her and collapsed against her chest.
"I love you, I love you so much, Lauren" He said, panting against her chest.
"I know, I love you too, Joey" She replied, as she started to play with his hair as they caught their breathes.
10 minutes later, they were getting changed and laughing, when Sharon came through the door. Luckily Lauren was sat on the sofa and Joey was behind the bar, quickly.
"Hey guys. Joey, I'm giving you the night off. Derek's ordered some kinda family meeting/meal. He demands you all be there" Sharon told them, sounding a little annoyed. Lauren and Joey looked at each, concerned.
Lauren was sorting out the cutlery for the nights meal when Derek walked into the kitchen, shutting the door behind him. Fear ran through her veins as she turned and looked at him.
"Uncle Derek, hey, what can I do for you?" She said, trying to keep her fears at bay.
"Nice to see you remember your manners, Lauren and you remember yes, I am your Uncle. But I think you had forgotten hadn't you for a while? Seeing as what you and my son having been doing behind closed doors" Derek replied, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow.
"No I didn't actually. What can I say? It just happened" Lauren told him, sighing.
"But you do realise it's disgusting and unnatural?" He questioned, walking closer to her.
"That's what you think. We love each other and that's all that matters. I don't your approval, of all people" She replied, trying to sound brave but she think she failed.
"Love?! What do you know about love? Your too young to understand love is about" Derek said, almost spitting at her.
"I understand quite well what is it about, thank you very much" Lauren told him, crossing her arms. He chuckled at her, narrowing his eyes at her
"I wonder what your father will make of this then?" Derek asked, smirking when a sudden bolt of confidence hit her.
"Yes, I wonder too" She said, pushed past him and walked into living room.
"Where's Dad?" Lauren asked Abi as she walked in.
"He is upstairs. He said he won't be a moment" Abi replied, smiling at her.
"Lauren, don't even think about doing this" Derek hissed at her, grabbing her arm.
"Let go of her now, Derek. What's going on?" Joey said, walking up to them. Derek sighed and let go of her arm.
"Nothing. I just think we have something to tell my dad, don't you?" Lauren replied, smiling at him.
"So wait, you threatened her by telling her you were gonna tell Uncle Max?" Joey said, rounding on Derek as Max walked into the living room.
"What's going on here?" He asked, looking around and seeing a sudden state of tension.
"There's something I've, well me and Joey have to tell you" Lauren said, brushing past Derek and looked at her father.
"Well what is it?" Max questioned, looking at Derek's face full of anger and Joey's look of concern at Lauren.
"Well, we've been seeing each other, as girlfriend and boyfriend and I know it's strange but yeah, that's what I wanted to tell you" Lauren replied, sighing a little.
"So wait, your the secret boyfriend?" Max asked, pointing at Joey, a look of disbelief on his face.
"We need to put a stop to this, Max, this is-"
"Shut up, Derek. Please, I could do without your input for a moment" Max said, cutting across his brother, sighing as he paced the room.
"Dad, I'm sorry, I wanted-"
"Can everyone just be quiet for a moment, please?" Max then cut across Lauren, sighing as he placed his head in hands.
"How long has this been going on then?" He then asked, after a moment. Lauren looked at Joey before replying.
"Erm about 6 weeks or so, I-"
"So since you moved in yeah?" Max asked, looking at Joey. Lauren was trying to work out what was going through her fathers mind.
"Yeah, but I didn't plan for-"
"So that crap you gave me and your mum about chucking him out was what, Lauren?" Max demanded, not letting anyone finish their sentences.
"Erm, I didn't want to admit I had feelings I guess but him being here escalated them" Lauren replied, sneaking glances at Joey and at Derek who was thunderstruck.
"Do you love him?" Max asked her.
"Yeah, I do" She replied, smiling a little.
"And do you love her?" Max then asked Joey. Derek was spitting feathers at this point.
"Yes, I do" Joey told him. Max sighed and sat down.
"I don't see the problem, Del" He said to his brother. Derek stared at him and walked forward.
"They are cousins, Max and did that slip your mind too?!" He exclaimed, becoming very angry.
"Yeah, well, they ain't, not really, because of-"
"Don't you dare blame this on me. This could end up very ugly" Derek said, quickly, becoming tense and on edge.
"Del, it's tim-"
"Lauren, Joey, give us a moment please" Derek told them, becoming very worried and they quickly left the room.
