Chapter 55
Lauren's p.o.v
"Joe, we should really go downstairs now" I giggled as he pulled on the knot of my dressing gown rope until i was stood in front of him.
"Why?" He smirked, turning his head to the side as he slipped his arm around my waist and pulled me flush against him.
"Cause my dad probably knows that we are awake now, so if we spend to much longer up here he is probably going to come up here, especially now he knows we are together and i doubt he is going to best pleased if he walks in here to see us making out" I giggled as he started kissing up and down my neck, me pulling away from him slightly moments later so i could pull him into a heated kiss...
"No, no, Stop... Stop" I smiled pushing Joey away as he undid my dressing gown and started pushing it down my shoulders.
"No" He pouted pecking me on the lips. "I love kissing you, so can't we just go down in a bit"
"No... Cause if we don't go down now we are going to end up doing a lot more then kissing and we will get into a lot of trouble if we get caught" I smirked as i sorted out my dressing gown before going over to the mirror and tying my hair up into a messy bun, seeing if there are some clothes i want to wear today in my chest of draws while i was over there. Although i will still probably end up choosing the outfit i packed yesterday. "But i have no problem making it up to you later, you know if we can sneak off for some alone time" I winked.
"Promise" He whispered as he came over to me before wrapping his arms around me from behind and kissed me just below my ear.
"Uh huh" I nodded turning in his arms and kissing him softly. " Now come on its time to get changed"
"Mm... Okay" He breathed moving away from me and going to get his clothes out of his bag.
"Oh and Joe, i think you are going to like the outfit I'm wearing today" I smirked when i had made my decision, as he turned around, and i decided to tease him a little, his eyes darkening until they were almost black as he turned back to face me cause he saw me stood in my black lacey underwear but not as much as when he saw my black and purple stripy jumper and my black skinny jeans, that i wore the day we first... Made love.
"Babe... Are you trying to kill me ?" He groaned. "I'm going to have to be around you all day while you are wearing that and I'm not going to be able to do the thing i will want to the most... Even more then i already do i mean, if that's even possible and that of course is make love to my beautiful girlfriend"
"Hmm... Well you never know, maybe you might get too, later, if we can find a way to sneak off for a while, somewhere, like i said"
"Oh i will make sure that we can" He smirked before coming back over to me and kissing me passionately.
"I'm sure you will" I said turning my head to the side and smiling brightly as we pulled away from each other...
A while later...
"Hey dad" I smiled as we walked into the kitchen. "I'm sorry we are up late, i ended up falling back to sleep after Fats woke me to tell me you were making breakfast"
"That's okay babe... I thought you may, seen as we were up till nearly 4 talking" He smiled. " I have made bacon and eggs, but they are going to need warming up"
"Okay, thanks dad" I said smiling before giving him a hug.
"Good morning princess" He whispered and i rolled my eyes at my nickname. "Did you sleep well?"
"Yer... I did" I smiled as we pulled away.
"Good" He nodded and we stood in a slightly awkward silence for a few minutes not really knowing what else to talk about.
"Thanks for the bacon, Max... I'm starving" Joey said rubbing his hands together before going over and putting the microwave on and i couldn't stop myself from laughing slightly when my dad chuckled at him.
"What's so funny about that" He frowned. "Why does everyone always find it funny that i get excited to have my bacon"
"What's funny is that you don't know, why its weird... And its more of an obsession then you just getting excited" I said trying to stop myself from bursting out laughing as he pouted at me but then he just narrowed his eyes at me before pocking his tongue out.
"Its not an obsession... Besides you can't talking you like anything covered in chocolate" He smirked.
"So..." I said also pocking my tongue out and we stared at each other for a minute, until we both burst out laughing.
"Yours is ready, baby" Joey said a few minutes later when i had started making me and him a tea and my dad a coffee.
"Thanks Joe" I smiled walking over to him and taking my plate from him before kissing him softly.
"Your welcome" He mumbled against my lips before kissing me again.
"Hello, dad in the room and i so don't need to see you kissing" Dad said and we pulled away from each other again to see him holding a piece of paper in front of his face, which made me laugh.
"And i don't need to see you kissing your girlfriends every time you have one, but i still have too" I said folding my arms and staring at him, feeling quite amused at the way he was reacting to me and Joey kissing, i always thought he would be just like Bradley and try to stop us, but he is actually being pretty cool about it.
"You could have always just looked away" He said in a baby voice before sticking his tongue out at me.
"So could you" I smirked and he pouted.
"I have actually been meaning to talk to you about your relationship with my little princess" Dad said looking at Joey and i rolled my eyes when he smirked at me.
"Oh please! Not you as well dad, don't go all protective i have way too much of that already from Bradley"
"I was actually going to say I'm really happy for you cause i know you love Lauren very much and as long as she is happy then i am too, but if you ever hurt her" He warned.
"I wont... I promise you, Lo is everything to me " Joey cut in.
"I know she is and I'm glad its you that my little girl is with rather then someone else round here who wouldn't treat her like the princess she is, but if you did ever hurt her , i will kill you just like i would any other boy that ever breaks my baby's heart"
"I know and i would want you too if i was ever that stupid"
"Right, well, good, just so long as we are clear" He said before putting his hand out for Joey to shake, which he did happily.
"We are 100 %" Joey nodded as we both sat down at the table, across from my dad , me having just finished making our drinks.
"So what are you doing today dad?" I asked after a few minutes of us eating in silence.
"Well actually i was hoping that we could all spend the day together, unless you have plans that is... Its just we haven't spent any time together as a family in ages" He said nervously and i frowned. "I'm sure if your busy we can find another time before you go to Portugal"
"Spending time as a family sounds fun" I said and Joey nodded.
"Really" He said smiling wildly. "So your free?"
"Yep... And i can't believe I'm saying this seen as you all get on my nervous most of the time, but i have really missed spending time with everyone"
"Yer me too" Joey agreed.
"We have really missed it too" He stated and i smiled.
"So what were you thinking we could do?"
"Well i know that you might be a bit old now but i was hoping we could go ice skating , i know Abs and Oscar still like it and Lily does too even if she does only want to make ice angels most of the time... Bradley is up for it too , but we can do something else if you don't like it anymore"
"Relax dad..." I smiled. " We would love to come, me and Joey love ice skating"
"Yer manly cause we can make out when everyone else is busy, which i hope we can do today" Joey whispered in my ear which caused me to shiver slightly and he winked as he pulled away before continuing to eat his food.
" So when abouts was you thinking we should set off?" I said trying to ignore what Joey had just said cause that makes me really want to kiss him right now...
"In about an hour at the most , that way you will have time to get ready and i can pop over to the car lot and get the paper together for a car i sold yesterday so i can send them over to the new owner"
"One of the dodgy ones is it" I mumbled.
"Babe, you know i have no choice about them"
"Yer so, that doesn't mean that i have to be happy about it... I mean someone could get seriously hurt just like Kevin did when he got that car from Phil, remember, and that was only a few month before Phil had his heart attack"
"I know babe, but i swear that had nothing to do with me , he was selling them from his garage at the time and i always get the cars that come to me checked out before i sell them so i know that no one is going to get hurt"
"Really how? You don't know anything about cars, except how to sell them"
"Jay checks them for me"
"Jay is involved in this?" I asked my eyes widening. "You do realize Abi probably knows, they are friends after all, and if she does know you do realize she isn't going to forgive you for keeping this from her" I sighed.
"She doesn't know and she's not going too..." He sighed as he tried to grab my hand but i moved it away.
"How can you be so sure of that"
"Cause i convinced him not to tell her he knows how hurt she would be... I mean sure he was furious at first and the first thing he wanted to do was tell Abs about everything but when i explained it all to him, he agreed that the best way to keep her safe is to not tell her about any of this"
"Right... So its okay for Abi's friends to keep secretes from her too now? Just cause you want some help, why couldn't you have gone to someone else with this , other then Jay" I snapped.
"Cause babe i needed someone to help me fast and anyone else would have gone straight to the police if they found out... Its just lucky that Jay seems to really care about her"
"Right so your using him, cause he cares about her and the last thing he would want to do is upset her by getting you sent to prison?"
"No babe... Its not like that, your right i do need someones help that isn't going to turn me in but i also really don't want anyone to get hurt"
"Why did you have to sleep with that woman dad?... If you hadn't none of this would be happening and i wouldn't have to hate myself for being yet another person that is keeping this from Abs" I asked as my eyes filled with tears.
"I ask myself the same things everyday, trust me... And i wish more then anything that i could take it back...please don't be mad at me again Lauren, the last thing i want is to lose you again, especially when i have only just got you back"Dad said, his voice wobbling and i could tell he was trying to hold back tears as he spoke.
"Your not going to lose me, daddy" I said standing up and rushing over to him to give him a hug. "But i have to know everything from now on, you can't hide anything else form me its not fair"
"Okay... I promise i will tell you everything you want to know"
"Alright..." I said pulling away from him and glancing over at Joey who held his hand out to me , which i happily took and went and sat back down next to him and he laced our fingers together as i did before resting them on his knee , which made me smile a little.
"So who else knows?" Joey asked before kissing the top of my head when i rested it on his shoulder.
"No one else , i promise, just you 2, Tanya, Jay, John, Phil and Jack"
"Hang on uncle Jack knows?"
"Yer he found out when he heard me begging Phil to let me stop ... I even offered him money, but he just laughed in my face and said making my life hell is worth more to him, then all the money we have"
"Oh... Well what did uncle Jack say?"
"Not much... In fact he hasn't spoken to me since... Every time i try he just walks away" He sighed.
"So that's why i saw him speaking to mum the other day... Well it looked more like they were arguing but still, i thought it was odd cause they have never really been that close not even when you were still together"
"Daddy, Bradley said we are going to have to go soon or we are going to miss seeing Santa" Oscar said bursting into the kitchen and tugging on my dads hand.
"Santa" I frowned.
"Yer, he is going to be there when we go ice skating Lozzy" Oscar said excitedly.
"Really, well you will have to remember the letter you did for Santa yesterday then so you can give it to him"
"Yay, do you think he will be able to get me everything?"
"I'm sure he will Oscie, seen as you have been a really good boy this year"
"I have?" He asked , his eyes lighting up.
"Of course you have" I smiled.
"Yay" He said jumping up and down. "What about you and super Joe are you going to give him a letter too?"
"Nah, i don't think Lo has been a good girl this year, so Santa might not get her any presents" Joey chuckled before smirking when i turned to him and pouted.
"I have so been a good girl, thank you" I said poking my tongue out at him as i folded my arms. "If anyone has been bad, its you"
"If you say so babe..." He said before leaning closer to my ear. "No one said that being bad is necessarily a bad thing, i happen to think its grate" He whispered earning a slap on the arm as i blushed furiously , knowing exactly what he was talking about.
"Ow" He pouted rubbing his arm but i just rolled my eyes playfully before turning back to my dad. "So how come the ice rink is still open and Santa is there, they are normally closed for a few weeks before Christmas and we only have 5 days left now?..."
"Today is the last day it is open until after the new year and they are only open this week cause they have Santa there this year due to the shop it normally being in, having been closed down..."
"Okay... Well me and Joey should probably go and get ready then, so we can leave soon" I smiled grabbing Joey's hand.
"Okay but please don't be too long or i will have to come up and get you"
"Don't worry, we will be quick, i can't wait to go" I smiled.
"Good and you might want to pop into the living room before you go up cause Lily has been asking for you all morning... I think she wants to tell you all about Santa"
"Aww , that's so cute" I cooed. "Come on Joe" I said tugging on his hand and he smiled at me as we made our way to the living room.
"Santa... Santa... Santa" We heard just as we got to the door, both of us smiling wildly.
"Hey Lily pooh" I cooed as we walked inside and she smiled wildly before running over to me and putting her arms up in the air.
"Up... Up" She said standing on her tip toes and pulling on my top.
"Okay" I smiling leaning down and scooping her up in my arms. "You okay Lily"
"Es... Anti Yozzy, we go see Santa" She said nodding before clapping her hands.
"Are we going to see Santa?"
"Es and he give pezzie, Dasmine get one too"
"You want Jasmine to have one too?" I giggled and she nodded.
"Dasmine come to see Santa too and we have pictore"
"Yer... I love your dress" I said looking down at her and seeing she is wearing a little red Christmas dress with white fur around the sleaves and the bottom of the skirt and she is wearing white fluffy tights to match.
"It spetal" She said pointing at her dress and smiling before leaning forward to give me a sloppy kiss on the cheek.
"Aww , thank you Lily pooh"
"Ove ou anti Yozzy"
"I love you too baby" I said kissing her on top of the head just as she started wriggling to get down. So i put her down before turning towards Joey as she ran over to pick her Jasmine doll up and going over to Abi, who is the only other person in the room for some reason.
"Where's Fats?" I asked frowning.
"Oh erm, He's gone out with Lucy somewhere but he said he will be back for dinner" Abi said from behind us and i raised my eyebrows at her words. I wonder why he told Abs and not us.
"Oh... Okay, well we should get our shoes on" I said and Joey nodded before running upstairs to get them. "So where is Stace and Bradders?" I said turning to face her.
"They have gone to go and get some nappies, they will be back soon" She shrugged and i nodded.
"So how are things?" I asked realizing this is the first time in a while that we have actually had a conversation but then again we haven't really been around each other that much...
"They are okay, i guess, things are still a little weird between me and Jay though... I think he may not like me anymore" She said sadness clear in her voice.
"What would make you think that? Last time i saw you 2 together he looked really happy and it was clear that he really likes you"
"Really" She said hopeful. "Its just he never seems to want to hang out anymore, he always says he is doing extra work for Phil"
"Maybe he is"
"He's not i went around there the other day to see if he wanted to grab some lunch at the cafe with me and Oscar cause mum went Christmas shopping and she wanted me to look after him... But he wasn't there"
"Oh..." I said feeling really bad cause i know he was probably at the car lot but i can't tell her that. "Maybe you should talk to him about it next time you see him, I'm sure he was just on a call out with Ben and Gary or something"
"Yer maybe..." She sighed. "Anyway, I'm going to go and get my phone and that ready for when we leave" She said smiling weakly before heading up to her room and i sat down next to Lily on the sofa waiting for Joey to come back down.
"Here you go Baby" Joey smiled a few minutes later as he passed me my shoes.
"Thanks Joe" I smiled before he leaned down and kissed me softly.
"You Okay?" He said frowning slightly.
"Yer fine, why?"
"You just seem a bit down..."
"Abi thinks Jay has been lying to her and that he doesn't like her anymore..."
"Why would she think he's lying? And what about?
"Well he said he has been working really hard for Phil for the past few weeks but when she went over to see if he wanted to get lunch with her he wasn't there... You know where he probably was don't you? Joe i really hate lying to her... She is going to hate me if she every finds out about it.." I said tears running down my checks.
"She wont hate you babe cause she's not going to find out and if she does then just tell her the truth she will understand why you had to keep it from her then"
"Will she? Cause i know how much she hates secretes, we both do, and apparently my family have been keeping a lot of them recently... I just don't want to be someone else that does" I sighed and Joey wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into him as he sat down next to me.
"I know you don't baby... And i really wish you didn't have to but i would take that any day if it meant i didn't lose you cause that gangster found out the truth and has come after you..." He said before kissing me on top of the head.
"I know... I love you Joe" I whispered kissing him passionately when i pulled away from him slightly.
"I love you too baby, more then anything" He whispered against my lips, us both looking into each others eyes for a good few minutes after that before we got our shoes on and i helped Lily with hers...
An hour later...
"Can we go and see Santa first daddy?" Oscar asked excitedly as we walked through the door of the ice rink.
"Oh so that's what you want to do first is it?" He asked amusement clear in his voice.
"Yes please" He said tugging on my dads hand and Lily clapped her hands as he did.
"Come on then Buddy... Lets go, you coming Abs" Dad questioned as she stood there staring at the rink.
"Nah... I'll wait here for you" She sighed and me and Joey both frowned.
"Why don't we stay with her babe, and make sure she is okay" Joey whispered to me and i nodded, us quickly letting my dad knows before we headed over to her.
"You okay Abs?" I asked smiling as i bumped my shoulder with hers.
"I guess" She mumbled looking at me briefly before sighing and turning back to the rink.
"What's up?" I frowned. "Is it Jay?"
"Its nothing... I'm just being stupid and I'm sure i have got it all wrong"
"What all wrong? What's happened?"
"Well, i phoned Jay, to ask him if he wanting to come with us today but he said he was in Manchester picking up bits for a car, cause its the only place that has them..." She sniffed.
"Okay..." I frowned.
"He wasn't there"
"How do you know..."
"I saw him when we left he was across the square with Lola and Billy... Do you think he likes her now instead of me?"
"Oh Abs..." I said pulling her into a hug. "I'm sure that's not what you think at all, there is no way he likes her and not you"
"Really? Cause they were laughing and messing around and he doesn't even want to talk to me" She sobbed. "I have no idea what i have done wrong to make him not want to be near me"
"Do you want me to have a word with him, maybe he will tell me what is going on" Joey offered before winking at me when i turned to him in surprise.
"Oh no, you don't have too"
"I know but if he is going to tell anyone, its probably going to be another guy" Joey shrugged. "I don't mind honest"
"Thanks Joey" She smiled slightly.
"Its okay" He smiled. "Listen babe, I'm going to go and see what Oscar got from Santa, so i will see you in a bit" He said and i smiled at how cute he sounded saying that before he moved closer to me and kissed me softly.
"Mm... Okay, we will probably be over in a sec anyway" I smiled before kissing him again and he nodded moments later as he pulled away from me before heading over to everyone else, i sighed happily as he did before turning back to Abi who smiled at me, us standing her in a comfortable silence for a good few minutes after that...
Joey's p.o.v
"Super Joe" Oscar squealed excitedly as he came running over to me just as i reached Bradley.
"Hey little man" I said bending down in front of him. "Did you give your letter to Santa?"
"Yes" He grinned. "And look what my present is" He said holding up a captain America toy.
"Wow, that's one of the things from your list, isn't it?"
"Yer..."
"Cool, i wonder how he knew to give it to you"
"He knew cause He's magic"
"Is he... Are you sure?" I said turning my head to the side in fake confusion and he giggled.
"Yes silly... And i asked Santa for a special wish for you and Lozzy too"
"Really and what's that?"
"I can't tell you or it wont come true"
"You can tell me... Cause its a wish for me and Lo, isn't it?" He nodded. "So what is it?"
"Are you sure it will still come true?"
"Maybe... It depends, there are some things that Santa isn't allowed to do, but he can make most wished come true"
"Okay..." He whispered. " I asked him to make Lozzy be able to stay here with you and not go away with mummy, so you can be bestest friends forever" He whispered and my heart clenched at how sweet that really is, if only that could really happen , we wouldn't have to run away , we could stay here and be really happy.
"Thank you little man... That was really nice of you" I smiled and he moved forward slightly and hugged me tightly.
"Its okay super Joe, Lozzy is always sad when she talks about leaving you, and i don't like it when she is sad, but she is always happy when you are with us"
"Yer... So am i" I said smiling brightly.
"I know..." He beamed. " Do you love Lozzy? Cause she said to Abs yesterday that she loves you very much" He asked and i couldn't help but smile wildly.
"Yes i do little man, but you can't tell anyone okay?"
"Why is it a secrete?" He asked turning his head to the side.
"Kind of"
"Okay then" He shrugged. " We will have to be really quite then so no one hears" He whispered putting his fingers to his lips and i smiled at him.
"That's right... We will have to be very quite... So shh" I said before tickling him and he giggled loudly.
"Super Joe" He shouted. "Stop!"
"Uncie Doe, sily" Lily squealed as she toddled over to us with her Jasmine doll in her arms. "You ticks Oscie" She whispered as she turned her head to the side.
"Yes i am, are you going to help me ?"
"Es, Dasmine is too" She giggled before tapping Oscar on the belly and then she tried to make Jasmine tickle him which made him laugh even louder.
A while later...
"Okay, okay... Mercy mercy" I shouted laughing as both Lily and Oscar tickled me, or tried too anyway.
"No mercy" Oscar shouted giggling as they continued and i pouted at him.
"Stop!" I shouted laughing.
"No..." Lily giggled and i smiled at the adorable look on her face as she did.
"Okay, i think its time i save you" Bradley chuckled as he walked over to us and scooped Lily up in his arms, Oscar running off as i moved forward to start tickling him again and i chuckled as he hid behind Max.
"Thanks" I nodded as i stood up and Bradley shrugged.
"I was actually hoping to talk to you while Lolly isn't around" He admitted and i frowned.
"Really, what about?"
"About you and her being together..."
"O. Kay..." I said not feeling so sure that I'm going to like what he has to say.
"How are things going between you...? There good right?"
"Yer there grate, why?" I frowned.
"Well you know she is going to Portugal in a few weeks..." He sighed and i nodded.
" Yer ,i know that, so?"
"So... Is it really a good idea that you are still together? Surely it is going to hurt more when she leaves if you are..."
"No what will make it hurt more is if we are already hurting cause we have broken up... And haven't gotten to spend any time together in the last few weeks that she is here and even when she is in Portugal, we are still going to be together... Nothing will stop that" I snapped.
"Okay..." He said holding his hands up. "I'm not saying that you shouldn't be together i just don't want to see Lauren get hurt"
"Well you have nothing to worry about cause i would never hurt her"
"I know you wouldn't, not intentionally anyway but you are still really young Joey and no one could blame you if you ended up liking someone else i mean Lauren could be away for over a year..."
"That is never going to happen" I shouted, suddenly feeling angry. "I love her, and i thought you knew that... That will never change no matter how long we are apart for... I thought you supported us being together"
"I do and i know that you think you love her but a lot can change in a year"
"Maybe they can but that isn't going too" I shouted.
Lauren's p.o.v
"So how are things going at mums?" I asked a little while later.
"Oh there okay, i guess although Nan keeps pushing her to make you come home but she just said that she is going just let you spend the next few weeks with Joe cause there is no way she is going to let you see or talk to him when we are in Portugal now..."
"I can't wait to see her try and stop me from skyping him cause i will find a way no matter what she tries to do... I can't not talk to him for what could be over a year..."
"I know and i will help you as well if you want me too, besides there is no way she is going to take our phones from us cause we can't call her if she does and we can use Skype on them..."
"True..."
"So hows your wrist, i heard mum telling Nan what happened when Oscar went over to stay with you for the night... She hurt you didn't she?"
"A little, but it was nothing honestly and the bruises are gone now"
"Bruises?" She said her eyes widening. "How could she hurt you...? She is never normally like this, i really don't understand why she is being the way she is at the moment"
"Maybe the way she is being now is the real her... She has probably just been good at hiding it until now, there is still a lot we don't know most likely"
"What so you mean? What do you think she is hiding from us?" She asked just as i heard Joey shouting and me and Abi both frowned before running over there...
"What is all the shouting about? Everyone is looking at you"
"Its nothing for you to worry about Lolly"
"Oh yer, of course its not" Joey mumbled and i frowned.
"Are you okay?" I whispered grabbing Joey's hand but he just sighed before pulling his hand out of mine and walking off.
"Joe" I shouted after him but he just carried on walking, so i turned and narrowed my eyes at Bradley. "What have you done?"
"Nothing... I just pointed out that things are going to be harder between you 2 when you are in Portugal"
"Why? We are here to have fun, not to point out things that should just be left alone, this is the last thing that either of us want to think about right now!" I snapped before turning to follow Joey.
"I'm sorry Lolly, i just don't want you to get hurt by doing the whole long distance thing... It can be hard enough for grown ups and it will be even harder for you, being a teenager..."
"Whatever Bradders, we are going to be fine, the only thing that will hurt me is if he listens to you and i will never forgive you if he does" I said as i turned back to him briefly and i saw my dad frown before starting to walk towards Bradley just before i carried on walking outside...
A few minutes later...
"Hey" I whispered as i stood next to Joey, who is leaning against the railings and staring into space. "I'm sorry about Bradley, he should never have said anything"
"He doesn't think we should be together anymore babe... He thinks i would find someone else if we were ever separated for a year but that is impossible i couldn't ever want to be with anyone but you, and all i wanted to do was shout that your not going with your mum and your coming away with me but i know that would have ruined our whole plan" He sighed. "I'm sorry for shouting at him i shouldn't have , i just hate it when people say stuff like that cause it means they think what happens between us means nothing to me , which just isn't true, it means everything" He breathed clenching his fists.
"Hey, i know that" I said placing my hand on top of his. "And you have every right to be mad about it and just so you know, we mean everything to me too, i know how much you love me... And i do have to admit I'm kind of glad you didn't say anything cause then i would be forced to go to Portugal"
"I know... I just wish everyone would stop treating us like little kids and make out what we are feeling will change if we are apart cause of how young we are"
"Your not the only one Joe... But the most important thing is that we know how we feel is never going to change"
"I love you so much" He breathed turning around and pulling me flush against him.
"I love you too Joe, more then anything and i can't wait for us to go away together..." I smiled as he rested his forehead against mine for a minute before leaning down and kissing me passionately.
"Me neither" He said breathlessly against my lips before pulling me into a hug and i sighed happily as i rested my head against his chest.
"I actually thought you may have been thinking about listing to Bradley and ending things, i mean i know it would mean you wouldn't have to deal with all the drama that us going away is going to bring or me being forced to leave cause we got caught trying to leave which i really hope isn't going to happen"
"Of course we are not going to get caught, and why would you ever think that i want this to end, i have already told you, baby, we are forever and your brother saying he thinks its best for you not to be with me if you were in Portugal isn't going to change that, even if you were to go it wouldn't change it" He whispered tightening his arms around me.
"You did pull your hand out of mine" I breathed as my eyes filled with tears.
"I'm sorry baby"He said guiltily as he pulled away from me slightly while tears ran down my face. "I was just mad about what Bradley said... I didn't mean to make you think it had anything to do with you... I just needed some air"
"Oh..." I said just as the door opened behind us and we both turned to see my dad stood there looking quite confused...
Hey everyone :)Poor Joey and Lauren huh? Do you think Bradley was right in what he was saying and Joey shouldn't have had a go at him or do you think Joey was right too? And How cute are Lily and Oscar ? i would really love to hear your thoughts.
I'm sorry its really late i meant to post this a lot earlier but then i got really busy and it has taken me about an hour to edit this cause it has turned out to be a lot longer then i thought it was going to be...
