Chapter 11

Lauren was fuming, she was so angry her head was nearing explosion. The last time she felt this mad, she ended up running over her dad; this was going to turn ugly.

She had been pacing the living room for the past hour, Joey watching her closely. He couldn't tell what she was thinking, she was completely shut off, and he knew she was pissed off but he hadn't seen her like this before. One push and she would go off the edge.

Without notice Laurens head snapped up as she darted for the front door, swinging it open leaving it practically hanging from its hinges. Lauren marched over to the café, Joey closely behind her worried what she was about to do next. He watched his fiery fiancée striding closer to the destination her long glossy hair swaying in the crisp breeze matching her curvy hips. The skin between her top and tightest jeans showing. God she looked hot, a fleeting thought passing through Joey's head before snapping out of it and rushing after a very angry Lauren.

Lauren walked into the café, spotting Lucy chatting to a group of boys, noticing she had just served them all full breakfast, Lauren took the opportunity to humiliate her, grabbing Lucy's head and ponytail pushing her face into one of the breakfasts, before pulling her by her hair out of the café, leaving half the customers in complete shock and the other half in laughter.

Joey stood in complete disbelief as a breakfast faced Lucy appeared from the café being pulled by Lauren who had a face of thunder. She finally released Lucy from her grip pushing her as she did so.

Lucy now wiping the contents of a full English from her face, launched herself at Lauren, but found herself being blocked by Joey who stood in her way protecting his fiancée.

"Move out my way Joey" Lucy spat through clenched teeth

"Doubt it, think I'm going to let you hurt Lauren, you must be kidding me" he stated, arms firmly crossed, he wasn't budging.

"It's okay Joey, I got this" lightly brushing her hand on his shoulders moving around his protective stance. Joey took a step backing; he knew Lauren needed to do this.

The market had turned silent as everyone watched for Laurens next move.

"I'm going to say this once Lucy, ONCE" taking a step forward towards Lucy

"You ever, EVER try and pull a stunt like that again, I will do more than plant your ugly face in a breakfast, you ever try to come between me and Joey again or meddle in my life, I am stating this now, you will spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder" taking another step closer, "Don't you ever come near to me again, I don't want to see you, I don't want to speak to you, I am going to promise you this now from this point on you are dead to me, we are done" finishing her epic speech by planting a sharp slap across Lucy's face.

"Got it?" before grabbing Joey's hand and strutting off towards number 5.

Lauren could hear the sound of the people in the market clapping, she wanted to turn around and see Lucy's face, but from that moment then she promised never to look back, she was the past.

"LAUREN" Abi shouted as she ran into the house looking for her sister.

"Yeah, in here" she replied.

"Oh my god, Jay just told me what happened, the whole square is talking about it" Abi could barely contain her shock "They are saying you dived her face into a breakfast for slapping her head practically off her shoulders" pride shining through her voice.

Lauren rolled her eyes, why on earth was her sister so excited about it.

"Well she got what was coming to her, sour face". Lauren mumbled to Joey who was in hysterics. The day had just been crazy. He couldn't quite believe what happened himself.

"Telling ya now Abs, she was amazing, Lauren Branning Tyson, ding ding" he chimed poking Laurens side making her giggle.

"Well now you know not to mess with me" tickling him back, trying to pin him down, failing miserably.

Abi stood in the doorway watching the two interact. Joey made Lauren feel alive, she was invincible with him. Smiling at the two knowing it was her cue to leave as things would probably get very steamy at any point, she turned around making her way back out the house.

Joey heard the door shut, noticing Abi had left the two alone. He decided to admit defeat against Lauren's tickles, she wasn't going to give up anytime soon.

"Okay okay you win" holding his hands above his head.

"Mmm what do I get for winning" raising her eyebrow suggestively.

"Umm a pat on the back, congrats" he chuckled lightly as Lauren burst into laughter

"Not funny at all, but I suppose you know if you don't want to.." Lauren swiftly getting up from the sofa, "I can amuse myself in other ways" pulling her t-shirt over her head dropping to the floor. Joey gulped as she bit down on her lip.

"Is it me or is it hot in here" watching Joeys expressions changing and she continued to strip in front of him.

"Might go and you know take a cold shower" turning to walk out the room unhooking her bra and throwing it a speechless Joey. God she was hot when she was confident.

"I think I need one" he gulped looking down at his growing bulge in his jeans. She had the affect over him, no other girl ever had. He could probably get horny just from her talking let alone performing a strip tease.

"Wait up" he shouted scrambling from the sofa racing up the stairs, hearing Lauren laughing at his sudden reaction.

Lauren switched the shower on, stepping in, pulling Joey in with her their eyes ever drifting apart.

The water cascaded over their bodies, Joey brushing his hands down over her wet hair as she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling their naked bodies together. He placed a kiss on her forehead, his hands skimming down her wet body. Lauren reached up on her tip toes kissing his lips softly stroking his wet hair. Just the two of them, no words spoken, the water falling around them as they enjoyed the moment, their moment.

"I am so in love with you" he whispered his eyes burning into hers

"I'm so in love" she replied, her heart pounding, bursting with love.

Joey smiled his gorgeous grin, the one he only saved for Lauren, the one that made her heart melt completely. He then picked her up, pushing her body up against the shower wall. His lips meeting hers passionately as their tongues moved in sync to each other. Placing a trail of kisses from her lips to her neck, Lauren leaning her head back so he could reach her sweet spot. Her nails digging into his shoulders as the fire ignited within them. Joey easing himself into her, a gasp releasing from her lips mimicking his. The passion intensifying as they both reached their peaks, groaning as they melted within each other.

"Loving you is dangerous" he whispered their foreheads resting against each other regaining a normal breath

"But what's life without danger" she whispered back stroking his cheek

"Meaningless" watching her smile to his response.

"Meaningless" she stated
