Chapter 13

"so what do you say"

Lauren's p.o.v

Sharron sat there staring at us for a few minutes i tried to work out what she was thinking but her face was unreadable.

"OK but if they ask me I'm not going to lie to them" Sharron finally said.

"Thank you" i said realizing a breath i didn't know i was holding.

"Right now get to work before it gets really busy" she said laughing slightly.

The rest of the night went pretty quickly I'm glad that Sharron agreed not to say anything. I just hope no one else gets suspicious or catches us like Sharron did.

"What are you thinking about " Joey said as we walked home.

"Just how we need to be much more careful now"i stated.

"Yer i know but i don't want it to end up us not getting any time alone cause we are trying to be more careful" he said sighing.

"Well we are going to have to spend a lot more time at the car lot and club then aren't we"I said laughing at the confused look on his face.

"Do i really need to spell out what we will be doing there" i added winking.

He laughed before pulling me down the alleyway to the Vic.

"What are you do..." i was interrupted by Joey crashing our lips together i pulled him closer when we heard voices it turned out to be Alfie and Derek.

"I told you not to leave the stuff in my cellar" Alfie said at this point me and Joey had pulled apart and were hiding behind the wall.

"Yer well you want a cut of the profit don't ya" Derek replied.

" Yes but the police have been sniffing around i don't want it here anymore find somewhere else for it to be Del or i will"Alfie said

"Alright I'll sort it " Derek said before walking off.

We waited Alfie to go back in before we started to walk out of the ally.

"So what do you think that was all about" i questioned as we walked up the steps to my house.

"I don't know but i plan to find out"he said before looking around then kissing me softly.

The next day...

Its Abi birthday today and as much as she protested my mum insisted on having a big birthday party with pretty much the whole square invited.

"You know Lucy is going to be all over you all night" i said to Joey while i was trying to put a banner up.

"Well its a good job I'm kind of into someone much more beautiful" he said while helping me off the ladder.

"Oh yer and who's that"i questioned.

"Well you obviously" he said before grabbing me by the waist and pulling me closer.

"Really " i said before kissing him softly.

"Lauren have you finished putting up the decorations yet " mum shouted as we sprang apart.

"Yer nearly mum" i said.

" Right well the party starts at 1 so hurry up " she said before walking into the room.

By 1 everything was ready but only just seen as Joey seems to like distracting me.

"Your dads not coming is he" i questioned Joey worriedly.

"Maybe why " he questioned.

"Its just after what we heard yesterday i don't really want to be around him" i exclaimed.

"Don't worry babe I'll find out what's going on I'm not going to let him hurt you" he stated.

"You have to be careful Joe i don't want you to get hurt. We don't know what he's involved in " i said sighing.

"I'll be fine i know what I'm doing trust me i can handle Derek" he whispered as Auntie Emma walked into the room.

" What are you two whispering about" she questioned raising a eyebrow.

"Oh nothing just comparing the presents we have bought for Abi" i said thinking on my feet.

"Right if you say so " she said narrowing her eyes at us before leaving the room

"Do you think your mum is going to be alright if Derek does turn up" i questioned.

"She will be fine babe my mum is a lot tougher than you think. I'm pretty sure she can handle Derek" he replied smiling.

Half an hour passed and the party was in full swing Sharron turned up to which worried me a bit cause since she got here she has been drinking quite a lot.

"Sharron maybe you should slow down" i said smiling.

"No I'm enjoying myself"she slurred.

Grate I'm looking at me a couple of months ago i feel like a right hypocrite.

"Come on maybe we should get you a coffee" i suggested.

"No your just scared I'm going to tell everyone your secrete" she slurred.

"I don't know what your talking about " i said nervously.

"I'm talking about you and Joey sleeping together" she shouted and the whole room went quite.
