Chapter 78
"Ready?" Vincent asked as they held hands and they were about to walk into the Gray's house.
"Yeah," she said placing a head on his shoulder.
He smiled and said, "Alrighty then."
He then rang the doorbell and Donna answered the door, "Thank God you two arrived already. We were like waiting forever. The others are inside."
Then two entered.
"Hey," Kyle announced as he saw his two friends.
"There they are!" said Peter.
"Oh my goodness gracious," Maxine replied as she saw them, "You two are holding hands."
Everyone turned around in shock to face them.
"Yeah," Vincent said putting an arm around her as she blushed. "We're I guess you can say a couple now."
"That's great!" Amy said as she went up to them and gave them a hug. "I really am happy for the two of you. You guys are so in love. Vincent, look at you," she said trying to pinch his cheek.
"Amy, have you been drinking?" he said with a laugh.
"No. A little. Okay, I have but just like the others."
"Does that mean me too?" Lauren asked.
"I meant only adults. No minors," she reminded Lauren.
"I only have a few years left," she whined.
"Well, until then and even after I'm your mother and certain rules of the house still stand."
"Fine," Lauren said rolling her eyes.
"Anyways, come right in," Amy offered.
While everyone had their laughs and memories of the production Vincent and Laura just sat down and snuggled not seeming to care about anything else.
Soon after, Laura went to the bathroom to go wash her hands after helping to cook something.
When she was finished and went out , she was surprised to find herself face to face with Sean.
"Hey," she said.
"Hey. So….umm. You and Vincent right"
"Yeah."
Sean just looked down with a smile.
"Thank you. Fir believing in us and supporting me thorough everything," she said with some enthusiasm.
"You two have something that works and that other couples don't have. Your love isn't one sided. You belong together no matter how cheesy that sounds."
"No. I understated exactly what you mean and you shouldn't worry about it. I really thank you."
He just stayed silent.
"I have to leave early because I promised to go visit Eric for the rest of the weekend but I'll see you at work on Monday," he said leaving.
"Sean, wait," Laura said.
"Yeah?"
"I don't like this weird thing going on between us. I'm sorry that we didn't work out but just know that I really care about you and I'll be here if at any time you need me. In a way I kind of know what you're going through. You've seen me go through it. Being so close to a friend can sometimes spark different feelings. But, you have guts Sean. You really do. I just wanted you to know. Even if I couldn't do that to begin with. I mean confronting with feelings. It scared me. But just know that I understand and I really care for you okay?"
"Okay." Sean said with a smile, "See ya."
"Bye."
Once he left Laura felt some part of her that was really sorry for him but she knew that she couldn't le. Plus, wasn't Donna in…
That's when she got an idea.
