Chapter 65

Joey had returned home to see a much more relaxed Lauren, whatever Max had said had worked, she even seemed to be getting on with her Dad which was even more of a surprise.

Max had stayed for dinner as per request and even helped Lauren out Amber to bed. It had got to about half 7 when he went to leave. The Father daughter due gave lingering hugs as he left, with promised to calm her every day.

"I'll talk to you tomorrow Lauren. I love you sweetheart"

"I love you too"

They waved Max off and made themselves comfortable in front of the TV. Although the TV was on, it wasn't getting much attention, Joey and Lauren were too intent on watching each other. Joey picked up the TV remote from the arm of the chair and flicked the TV off.

"I was watching that!" Lauren frowned at him

"Really what was going on then?" he realised his eyebrow and Lauren just smirked "exactly come on, let's go to bed"

"I'm not tired" she groaned pouting as Joey pulled them both up from the sofa.

"who said anything about sleeping?" he chuckled Laurens eyes widening as he sauntered from the room. She heard the tell tale noise of clothes hitting the floor. She swallowed deeply and sighed walking to the room "Beds cold without you Lauren" .

I'll be back in an hour :) xxx
