Chapter 34

Lauren was up ridiculously early the next morning, eagerly counting down the minutes until she was meeting Joey. She'd had very welcome dream about him and his god like looks, and was little disappointed when she woke up to be honest. She tried going back to sleep but couldn't bring her eyes to stay closed long enough.

She flung the covers off and got up, it was only 7am, and that was early even by Laurens standards these days. She slipped into her running gear and left a post-it-note in the kitchen for her parents , she knew they'd only worry otherwise.

The cool morning air hit her face as I stepped outside and onto the pavement; it was almost June, so it was warm enough and safe enough to go running at that time in a morning. There was something so satisfying from running longer and faster and pushing herself right to the edge, that little bit more each time- and the best of it was the benefit was all for herself

She secured her ear phones in letting the beat of the music set the running pace as her feet set a gentle rhythm against the pavement. The song changed and the beat quickened, Lauren pondering feet across the road, her lungs beginning to feel the stretch.

Her heart pounded to the beat of her feet racing over the hard ground as the sweat beaded on her forehead. Her muscles stretched, with each step she took, she began to even out her pace and brought herself to a stop. She'd run the distance of the entire square and had somehow ended up by the gym, it was a pity it wasn't open, she could use a punch bag to rid some more of the… tension. She leaned against the wall and took a long swig of water from her water bottle. Letting out s sigh she look at her watch, catching the time. She was pretty surprised it was 9am; she been out for a good hour and a half. Tightening her bobble around her loosely tied hair, she quickly stretched and started a slow jog, moving to a more gentle rhythm. She wasted another half hour, jogging back home.

Well Lauren's definitely tense about her meeting Joey... 10 reviews for the next chapter ?
