Not In That Way - Lauren Jauregui/You *in editing*

chapter 8.

"I'm only here for like 10 days." I reminded her.

"Y/N." I heard Kyle yell from behind me.

"What?" I asked confused.

"My dads visiting from England for christmas." He informed me.

"What? Your parents are going to spend christmas together?" I questioned.

Kyle's parents split up when he was six and his dad stayed in England whilst his mother moved to Miami with him.

"They're making progress." He told me and we hugged.

"I'm so happy for you thats great news." I told him, feeling delighted for my best friend.

Me and my family arrived home and ate a hearty Italian dinner.

"Well thank you for dinner but I'm exhausted so I'm going to go and watch a movie." I informed my family.

"Can I come?" Lily asked.

"Yeah come on we can watch whatever movie you want." I said and she ran up the stairs.

"She's missed you so much." My dad informed me.

"If she has missed me half as much as I've missed her it must be a lot." I said seriously.

Me and Lily were half way through Marley and Me when she fell asleep so I decided to carry her to her room and put her to bed.

I walked downstairs and joined my parents who were watching tv when there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it." I said jumping up from the couch.

"Hi." Lauren said awkwardly as she stood outside my house.

"Hey." I said just as awkward.

"Can we talk?" She asked and I stepped outside.

We sat on the front lawn of my house.

"So you and Brad." I started.

"Yeah, I was going to tell you but I never got the chance." She said.

"You didn't need to tell me, you were single, you can see who you want. Anyway why are you in Miami?" I asked expecting her to be on her world tour.

"We have a break for a week and I'm watching Brad and his band perform tomorrow." She informed me.

"Great." I said simply.

"You should come." She said shyly.

"I'd rather not watch your great new boyfriend perform." I said firmly.

"And also I'm going to watch Kyle's boyfriends band perform." I informed her.

"Lauren, I'm sorry things didn't work out between us." I said honestly.

"Why didn't you want to be with me?" She asked sadly.

"Because I knew it would be difficult because you would be touring." I told her truthfully.

"I hated you for that." She said which broke my heart.

"You can't hate me for sending you on your way." I spoke.

Silence fell upon us.

I looked over to her and she was looking right back at me.

"I..uh..I should being going inside." I said as we started getting closer.

"Can I stay tonight, its about to storm." She said.

"Sure." I said after some hesitation.

--

I woke up in someones arms which was weird but comforting. I felt safe. It felt right.

"Wake up." I said to Lauren who had her arms wrapped around my waist.

"Why?" She asked, I almost forgot how moody she was in the morning.

"Because you need to go home because you need to get ready to see Brad later." I reminded her.

"And I need to get ready to see Kyle later." I told her.

"I wish we could stay like this forever." She said whilst snuggling into my neck.

"Lauren." I said but she didn't move away.

"Laure-" I started again but I was cut off by someone kissing my neck.

"You talk too much." She said.

"Lauren stop, you have a boyfriend." I said sternly.

"Can I just have one kiss." She pleaded.

"We can't." I told her.

"Please, I just want to be reminded of how your lips taste, I don't want to forget how your lips feel on mine." She said.

I turned to face her and we both leaned in, our lips connected and it felt like fireworks.

Soon enough I was on top of Lauren.

"Lauren we need to stop." I said pulling away, but she pulled me right back in.

My lips soon found their way to her jaw and I placed kisses all along her perfect jawline. I then started kissing her neck and moved down to place a kiss on her collarbone.

That was when I decided it had to stop.

"Brad will never be able to love you like I do." I said.

--

I arrived at the venue that Kyle told me the concert would be and I was pretty impressed; the venue wasn't too shabby so this band can't be half bad.

"Y/N, what are you doing here?" I heard a husky voice say from behind me.

"I'm here to watch James' band." I told her.

"Who's James?" She asked, she sounded jealous.

"Kyle's boyfriend." I informed her.

"Why are you here?" I questioned.

"I'm here to watch Brad's band." She told me.

"So James and Brad are in the same band, great now I have to watch you drool over your perfect boyfriend all night." I said only half joking.

"Or we could skip the concert and go somewhere else." She said.
