Flip the Script - Lauren Jauregui

"You want a in detail summary of Fahrenheit 451 or Seth Rogen book. I could do it."

"Do you remember a lot of things in great detail?" You two stop nearby her car.

"From time to time. I do my best."

"I'll keep that in mind. See ya spidey." You flex your wrist the way spiderman does at her. She just laughs and shakes her head. "You are adorable." She whispers.

————————

You were just getting back from a coffee run. Your phone was buzzing like crazy. What the......

"Hello." Yet the call ends and then it starts buzzing for a FaceTime call.

"That book was a fucking whirlwind you bitch. I have a love hate relationship with it. Because one who puts their niece in conversion therapy. Evil as shit. Her parents literally just died. Then her friend. Ughhh....."

"Lauren." She continues rambling about the book. "Lo." This catches her attention. "You weren't kidding when you said you were going to yell at me huh?"

"No. Yet I am satisfied because it didn't have a sad ending. They got some closure. Although that one guy is definitely still part of the community. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that one." You smile at the phone.

"You want another book recommendation?"

"No I want to yell at you for this one first. Ohhh shit I just realized your at work aren't you?" You nod. "I am so sorry. Maybe 3 am would've been the better option." You roll your eyes at her. Then you see all of your friends holding up there coffee cups. Ohhhh.....

"So Lauren...... are you free tomorrow?"

"Uhmmm yea what's up?"

"Wanna go out for coffee? On me?"

"I would love too. Maybe bring me another book or two?"

"Deal."

"So I'll meet you where?"

"Ohhh Uhm just stop by the shop and we'll go from there." She gives you a thumbs up and waves. You end the call. You have a date. Maybe?

————————

Half way through your shift you realize you never gave Lauren a time. So around 2 when she shows up you are relieved.

"I figured I would give you enough time to pick me out a recommendation or two." She opens her arms to hug you and you gladly accept. You then jump over the counter to grab the books and Whitney glares at you.

"Sorry Witt."

"Clearly you do that when I'm not here." She scoffs and leaves. The guys laugh at you as you walk back around. You hold the books up to Lauren but she covers her eyes.

"Show me over coffee not right now." You nod and raise your hand. Tony throw your keys perfectly. "Trying to show off your spidey senses?" As they toss you your book bag too with the books now in it.

"Maybe a bit. See you guys later." You wave to them and leave out. You lead her to your car.

On the way to the coffee shop a song comes on. You had heard in passing a few times. So you managed to pick up some lyrics.

"Te espero
Abre esa boca, dime una cosa
No tenga' miedo, bebé
Acerca y atrévete
Ya sé, sé que sabe' bien lo que hacer
Con este cuerpo quе mira' como si tuviera' sed" You sing so effortlessly.

Lauren stares at you in amazement. One for your singing in Spanish. Two you knew Spanish. Three you knew lyrics to her song. Yet lastly how the fuck do you not know who she is?

"I need to look this artist up. She's good."

"Do you understand what she just said?"

"Yea. From the bits and pieces I've heard definitely a sex song, but more sensual......" You keep talking about the song and Lauren is just..... Are you real?

You then switch from the radio to your phone while at a light. You start playing No Peace by Sam Smith and Yebba. Both of you singing. Yet you started to listen and noticed that Lauren sounds similar to the Latina singer.

When she nails Yebba's part in the song effortlessly you knew it was her. You smile. You pull up to Starbucks.

"I thought we were going for coffee? Like a coffee shop."

"I mean we could do that if you prefer."

"No no no. We can do whatever you have in mind. As long as you aren't kidnapping me." You laugh and just smile at her. You get the biggest cup of coffee for the both of you. Then proceed to drive after tipping the employees.

Both of you were comfortable with talking from time to time. And also just singing to the radio. You two stop for food as well at a place Lauren recommended. Finally you get to the building with the view.

"So that was the first date?" You look to Lauren.

"Yes."
"No."

"What?" You both say to each other. "So when was our first date then?"

"Why did you ask? Now they are going to argue about who talked to who first."

"I did." You both say. Your friends laugh while the kids face palm. The kids get up and run off. "Works everytime." You both fist bump each other.

"Y'all are just evil." Whitney laughs.

"They love asking 10 trillion questions. Babe you want a refill?" You ask Lauren and grab her cup.

"Please." You kiss her and head into the kitchen.

"And to think it all started with the line 'You know self reflection is just all about how you perceive yourself?'" Delaney teases.

"Yea well beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Hater." You throw M&Ms at Delaney.

"Doesn't matter she like your energy." Zion join in.

"I hate you guys."

"Whatever you say webslinger." They all laugh.
