Can't have you.
27.
Lauren started the car, it spluttered a few times before kicking in and moving down the road. Lauren drove to the nearest supermarket, deciding on getting a few necessities that her and Claire couldn’t bring over with them now.
“Why are we here?” Claire asked from the back seat.
“We might as well get some of the things we cant bring over from England here and then store them in one of those big yellow places.” Lauren said.
“Or you can just put them in your old room at mine.” Emily countered.
“Yeah, or we could do that.” Lauren said, smiling.
“Cool, well I don’t have much money but I guess we could get some stuff now.” Claire said, happy to be arranging things now.
“Well, I don’t have much either but we can get some of the main stuff here, their going to leave their furniture there, all we need to do is get new mattresses and random things to make the place our own.” Lauren smiled.
“So what, are you just going to get like lamps and pictures.” Emily asked.
“Yeah, well probably not pictures because we can bring those with us, im thinking things like bed linen and plates and stuff.” Lauren said.
“Ok then, well we can get a lot of stuff here for cheap. Remember when we moved out and we had nothing so had to go out and ended up here?” Emily laughed as the memory ran fresh through her mind.
“Yeah, we had been here nearly 2 weeks before we finally went out to get stuff. Im determined to be prepared this time.” Lauren laughed.
“Well, I wanna be prepared, so lets get a trolley and shop.” Claire said as she climbed out of the car.
Lauren and Emily followed. Claire and Lauren both grabbed trolleys as they went past and walked into the super market.
“Right, so how are we going to do this?” Claire asked.
“Walk up and down the isles I guess.” Lauren said shrugging.
“Alright, lets start here and make our way up.” Claire said, pointing to the other side of the very big building.
“Ok.” Lauren and Emily said simultaneously, causing the 3 girls to laugh.
The girls walked up and down the isles, putting different little things into their trolleys. They had 4 lamps, all different colours, 4 sets of bed linen, 8 pillows, 2 new duvet and pillow sets, 4 different colours of paint, a set of dinner plates, dishes and smaller plates, a set of knives, forks and spoons, a set of saucepans, random kitchen utensils and lots of cups.
The 2 trolleys were almost full by the time the girls got to the tills and they still hadn’t thought about getting new mattresses.
“What are we going to do about mattresses?” Claire suddenly asked.
“I have no idea. We might need to borrow Kevin’s jeep because 2 double bed mattresses are sure as hell not going to fit into my car.” Lauren said laughing.
“Double bed?” Claire said a smile on her face.
“Yes, double. I might nag the boys to help us get them.” Lauren said, screwing her nose up.
“Well, even if they can’t help, im sure Kevin wouldn’t mind you borrowing the jeep.” Emily said as she began putting things onto the till.
“Sure?” Claire said.
“Sure.” Emily replied.
Once everything had gone through, the bags were packed and in the trolleys, the girls paid for the things and went to the car. They struggled to get everything into the boot and ended up having the duvet and pillow sets in the back with Claire.
“Back to yours Em?” Lauren asked as she started the car.
“Yeah, we need to go and put all this away. Hopefully the boys will be back. Ill ring Kevin a minute and find out.” Emily said.
“Ok.” Lauren turned the radio down and set off down the road.
“Hey Kevin, are you home?” Emily asked through her phone.
“Yeah, we’re back. Why?” Kevin asked Emily.
“We have loads of stuff we need to put in Lauren’s old room and we need 3 big muscley boys to help us.” Emily laughed.
Lauren mouthed, ‘Muscley?’ while laughing. Emily nodded in response, also laughing.
“Yeah sure, well meet you down there.” Kevin said.
“Thanks see you in a minute.”
“See you in a minute. Oh wait, Nick says tell Lauren he has something for her.” Kevin said.
“Ok bye.” Emily said, hanging up the phone.
“They are helping?” Claire asked.
“Yup. Lauren, Nick says he has something for you.”
“Oh great.” Lauren mumbled, not taking her eyes off of the road.
“Why oh great?” Claire asked.
“I don’t like getting presents off of you lot, let alone Nick.” Lauren mumbled again.
“Don’t worry about it.” Emily said laughing.
“Easy for you to say, your not the one who has only just got back with her boyfriend and he’s already buying you presents.” Lauren said, still mumbling.
“Oh cheer up, look we’re back.” Claire said, laughing at Lauren’s behaviour.
Claire got out of the car the second Lauren pulled up and ran into Joe’s awaiting arms. Emily was next to get out, she sauntered over to Kevin and smiled up at him. Finally Lauren climbed out of the car, her keys swinging around her fingers. Nick walked over to her and pulled her into a hug instantly.
“I missed you.” He whispered into her ear.
“You saw me last night.” Lauren laughed, wrapping her arms around Nick.
“Well, I was worried that you might not see me today.” Nick mumbled into Lauren’s hair where his head was resting against hers.
“Well don’t worry, the crap in the car is for moving out here, so unfortunately you’re stuck with me now.” Lauren laughed as she kissed Nicks cheek and went around to the boot of the car.
Kevin and Emily walked over to the car first, while Nick stood smiling at Lauren and Joe and Claire stood hugging, looking at each other happily.
Lauren began unloading the many bags into people’s arms while humming ‘Hello Beautiful’ to herself. She hadn’t realised Nick had stood next to her when she turned her head and was greeted by ‘Hello Beautiful’ and a dazzling smile.
“How long were you stood there?” Lauren questioned.
“Since you started humming the second verse.” Nick laughed.
“You would wouldn’t you.” Lauren laughed, piling 3 bags into his arms.
“Not too much stuff then?” Nick laughed while looking over Lauren’s shoulder at Emily and Kevin who also had 3 bags each.
“Its necessities and there’s a lot of heavy stuff so it had to have separate bags.” Lauren explained, grinning.
“Alright, I believe you. Be back in a minute.” Nick said, kissing Lauren’s head as he walked by.
“Joe and Claire move your butts here now.” Lauren screeched.
“Coming.” Joe said, grabbing Claire’s hand and dragging her over.
Lauren piled bags into each of their arms before closing the boot and grabbing the duvet and pillow sets and locking the car doors. Lauren walked to the building doors and walked in, just as Nick ran down the last steps, he stopped inches from Lauren.
“Hello beautiful.” Nick said, grinning like a Cheshire cat.
“Hey.” Lauren smiled and carried on walking.
“Is all the stuff out of the car?” Nick asked.
“Yup and its locked, now its just time to got put this crap away and then start to sort some things out back home, over the phone.” Lauren said, walking up the many stairs.
“Why don’t you use the lift?” Nick questioned before realising her knew it.
“Sorry.” He mumbled looking at the floor.
“It’s fine.” Lauren said, smiling gently.
“No its not, I don’t know how I forgot something so simple.” Nick said, “I remember loads of things you told me, like how you get bored of reading after a while, but I forget something you told me loads.”
“Calm down, its fine. You couldn’t be expected to remember that when you didn’t see me for months.” Lauren said, lacing her fingers with Nick’s.
“Ok, ive calmed down.” Nick said, as he ran his thumb over Lauren’s hand.
The couple walked into the apartment moments later, Nick was still annoyed at himself, but Lauren kept reassuring him that it was fine. Lauren put the duvet and pillow sets into her old bedroom and then went and sat in the living room with the others. She sat on the floor next to Nick, who kept apologising for forgetting about Lauren’s fear of old lifts. Lauren stroked Nick’s hair once before telling him that if he didn’t stop apologising she would cut his hair off. He instantly stopped apologising.

Its getting hard to write 3 stories at the moment so thats why theres not gunna be a sequal.
