*Lauren's POV*

I came down stairs and went into the kitchen where everyone was already seated at the table with their plates. Kath made everyone pancakes and bacon, yum! I made myself a plate and sat down at the large wooden table between Dani and Lisa.
Most of the seats were empty since the boys were gone and everyone else was half asleep so it was fairly quiet other than Dani and Amy who were laughing about something from this morning. I couldn't help but stare as she giggled, man is she adorable.

After nearly everyone finished eating Kath's delicious breakfast, Christina announced that she was going to get ready for her date with Nick this afternoon. Kath, who was already dressed, grabbed her keys and headed out for the park with Amy. Soon it was just me, Dani and Lisa chilling in our room. Lisa was painting her nails and playing loud music that Dani was dancing around the room to while I just scrolled through Twitter and laughed at my adorable Spice.

Snap out of it Lauren, she's your SISTER!

Just then Dani stopped dancing and sat on the edge of my bed. I looked up from my phone, I shouldn't have because now I'm blushing.

"You alright, Sugar? Lately you've seemed a bit, ya'know, out of it. What's up?"

I wanted to kiss her. Right there and then I wanted to just let my guard down and show her how I feel by kissing her beautiful face. Instead I just blushed some more and fake laughed.

"Nah I'm good Dan, just thinking too much. Ha, you know me!" Dani smiled but I could tell she didn't buy it, Dani can always tell when I'm lying. She almost looked, disappointed?

Why do you have to like her like that Lauren!?

Why can't I just be happy with our sisterly love?!

You know she doesn't feel the same, so stop setting yourself up for disappointment.

I just don't know how much longer I can hide my feelings from her.

*Dani's POV*
I don't know how long I can keep these feelings a secret.

I never was any good at keeping my mouth closed when it came to keeping secrets. But Lauren is hiding something too, I can tell.
Ever since I kissed her that day we filmed our Justin Bieber cover she's been acting really weird around me. Staring at me when she doesn't think I'm looking, mumbling my name in her sleep. I just kissed her as a joke, but I definitely felt something.
The way it felt like electricity shot through my body when her soft lips touched mine.

Does she, like me too?

Dani, don't get your hopes up.
I'm so torn because I want Lauren to know how I feel, but what if she doesn't feel the same and I make things awkward? Or worse, what if our sisters find out that I'm practically a sinner? I mean, the Bible says incest is a sin, but how can something wrong feel so right!? I'm just so confused...

I've made up my mind.

I'm telling Lauren, tonight.

Later on that night...

*Lauren's POV*

It was later that night around 6, and everyone was back at home other than Christina who was still out with Nick. Amy came in our room where Lisa was watching Snapchat stories and cracking up and I was reading a book for school. Dani was taking a shower and it seemed like she'd been avoiding me all day.
I hope I didn't do something wrong.

"Lisa, Lauren, we're going out to eat tonight since Kath doesn't feel like cooking, be ready by 6:30." Amy smiled before leaving the room and Lisa slightly groaned before going into the hall and yelling for Dani to finish up in the shower.
I giggled to myself a bit as I listen to Lisa and Dani bicker back and forth.
"I NEED TO DO MY HAIR!" BLAH,BLAH,BLAH!

I walked over to the closet and picked out a pair of boyfriend jeans and a slightly more presentable T-shirt, we're probably just gonna get pizza or something like that anyhow so nothing too fancy.
By the time everyone else was ready it was 6:45 thanks to Lisa who had to finish straightening her hair. We hopped in the van and rode to a local Café. The ride was pretty silent, every time I tried to talk with Dani she looked at me anxiously and giggled nervously, what is up with her? I made a mental note to ask later.

*Dani's POV*

The ride to dinner was awkwardly silent. I've been avoiding Lauren all day because every time I try to speak I just want to scream at the top of my lungs: "I LOVE YOU LAUREN CIMORELLI!!"
That would be bad.
Like I said, as somebody who loves to talk I hate keeping secrets, especially when it comes to my Sugar. We tell each other everything!
That's why I think Lauren's a little sad I've avoided her all day, but she can wait until tonight when I tell her how I feel. When I like somebody I'm usually super straightforward, but I would be lying if I told you I wasn't hecka nervous about telling Lauren I love her, as more then a sister.

We pulled into the café parking lot and filed out one by one. The place seemed pretty slow so we got the largest table and I sat down between Lauren and Amy. Everyone started up some conversations that were much louder then our breakfast ones now that we were all fully awake. I was talking to Lisa about tomorrow's cover and all the positive feedback from our album's pre-order when I felt the phone in my back pocket vibrate. I casually excused myself from our conversation and peeked at my phone from under the table since we're not really supposed to have phones out at dinner. It was a text from Lauren, we do that a lot, text one another even when we're in the same room. When you have 4 nosy sisters you've gotta have a little bit of privacy.

("L" is Lauren, "D" is Dani)

L: Hey, we ok?

D: Yeah course, y do u ask?

L: IDK, you seem mad at me

D: Nah Sugar, we good ;3 It's just that I have something to tell u

L: Wat

D: Not now, tonite

L: I hate waiting XP

I went to reply when Lisa noticed my phone was out and elbowed me in the ribs, man is she a pain! I quietly put my phone away and smiled at Laur who shyly smiled back. I casually rejoined the conversation for a bit until our food arrived and I literally drooled. Ugh, I'm starving! Lisa had the same reaction and when her eyes became the size of saucers me and Lauren couldn't help but burst into fits of laughter.

*Lisa's POV*

Now, I'd like to think I'm not a nosy person, but when your baby sister has her phone out underneath the dinner table, who wouldn't peek!? I realized she was texting Lauren and read a few snippets of the conversation before telling her to put her cell away.
Basically what I got from the texts was that Dani had something important to tell Lauren tonight that she obviously doesn't want us sisters to know. This makes sense because I swear both Lauren and Dani have been acting a bit off for a while now. But what does she need to tell her and why can't I know??
You better believe I'm eavesdropping on those two tonight.
Sure they say curiosity killed the cat, but I'm no cat now am I? ;3


Sorry this was kinda a short, boring chapter, but I really wanted to build up for the next Part where all the secrets are spilled so get pumped!!!! <3
