LAUREN'S POV
5 days later and before I knew it, it was the night before Abi, Poppy and I were due to fly to America for summer and our parents were hosting a party to see us off. I didn't want to go but Abi forced me to go, placing me in a dress. I sighed and walked downstairs.
I saw Alice talking with Anthony and I knew Joey wouldn't be far. I hadn't seen him since I had helped him with a drunk Alice and I hadn't told him about sleeping with Tyler and I planned not to.
"Here she is, my beautiful and clever daughter" Mum exclaimed as I walked into the living room, kissing me on the cheek. I rolled my eyes, heading over the punch and upon taste I realised it was non alcoholic. This was going to a long night. I sighed and walked into the kitchen, looking for something alcoholic when I heard the door close. I turned and saw Joey.
"You need to go, please" I sighed, pointing at the door.
"Lauren, you're leaving for 3 months. You can't expect for us not to have a goodbye" He replied, crossing his arms.
"Bye" I said quickly.
"Don't do that please. Don't just dismiss me. I know what I did wasn't good but I did it because I love you and I know how much your family mean to you" He proclaimed, walking closer to me.
"What do you want, Joey?" I asked, aware of how close he was coming towards me.
"Lets go for a drive. We need to talk" He said. I nodded.
JOEY'S POV
Lauren barely said a word as we drove. I kept looking at her and she would look away as I did. I had so much to say but I couldn't find the words. 3 months apart, with her in a different country, it was going to kill me. I stopped the car. She looked at me then around. She sighed and realised where we were. We were at our place.
"Why would you bring me here, Joey?" She questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Don't you remember that day, Lauren? We were so happy then" I replied, turning to her.
"Yeah we were" She admitted, quietly, looking out of the window.
"Look at me please. This is killing me as much as it's killing you" I said, placing a hand on her shoulder. She slowly turned to me, her eyes on mine. Something was wrong and I didn't know what. I smiled at her and she sighed before getting out of the car.
LAUREN'S POV
This was slowly killing me. I wanted to tell him about the party and Tyler but I couldn't do it. I really couldn't. I leaned against the side of the car, rubbing my arms as I shivered. Joey was aside of me in almost an instant, holding out his jacket. I sighed and took it, putting it on.
"What's wrong, babe?" He asked, leaning against the car next to me.
"Don't" I said, sighing.
"Don't what?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Don't call me that" I replied. He was close, too close.
"Lauren, you know I love you" He told me, taking my hand, his fingers lacing through mine. I looked down at our locked hands, sighing heavily. It felt natural, too natural. I had missed it.
"And you know that I love you" I finally replied, smiling weakly. He cupped my cheek, I could feel him getting closer but I moved away, taking my hand from his, walking away.
"Lauren" I really do surrender to the way he says my name but I couldn't. Not tonight.
"Just don't, please" I replied, biting my lip, trying to stop crying.
"Why not? Please, Lauren" He said and before I could even think, I had turned around, walked towards him and kissed him. He caught me, pushing me against his car, like his life depended on it, before showering my neck with kisses.
JOEY'S POV
Lauren guided me back to her lips, her teeth grazing my lower lip. I found it so hot when she did that. I felt her hand move to the door handle, opening the door and I pushed her inside, not breaking our kiss before moving to close it.
"Lauren...are you sure?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. She nodded, kissing me again, her hands finding the front of my shirt, unbuttoning it, leaning up and kissed my chest. I took the chance to unzip her dress, pushing it down.
"We don't have long, my parents will wonder where I am soon" She said, as I began to pull down her underwear.
"I know, baby, I know" I replied and once our underwear had gone, I slowly buried myself inside her. She moaned on contact and I wrapped her leg around my leg, sinking further into her. I buried my head in the crook of her neck, thrusting faster and she played with my hair as we neared our climaxes...
LAUREN'S POV
"That shouldn't of happened" I said, as I regained my breath after our lovemaking and Joey laid on my chest panting.
"Yes, it should of done, baby. It should always happen. But for now, it was goodbye" He replied, kissing my chest.
"Was you planning that when you asked me to come for a drive?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes and no but I know you knew it would happen when you said yes. I could see it in your eyes" He replied, leaning up. I sighed and nodded, kissing his forehead before cradling his head against my chest. Forgetting about Tyler and America for a moment...
