Can't have you.
34.
The rest of the week went smoothly. Lauren and Nick told the others that Nick was going back to England with Lauren and Claire and Joe instantly decided he was going too. Emily and Kevin decided it be best if they stayed even though they were nagged constantly until the last possible moment when Nick and Joe had too book their tickets.
“Emily, it’s not fair, you’re letting me go again.” Lauren whined while the three couples stood just inside the airport as they said their goodbyes for 2 weeks.
Lauren and Claire were both clad with caps, sunglasses and scarves around their necks to disguise them from the lurking paparazzi, waiting for a picture of the boys and their new girls. Little did the paparazzi know, they already had multiple pictures of Lauren seeming as she and Nick had been in the news quite a bit when they were together the first time around.
“It is fair, I have a wedding to plan.” Emily grinned grabbing Kevin’s hand.
“S’not.” Lauren mumbled.
“S’is.” Emily laughed.
“Come on Laur, we gotta go. Stop complaining and say bye to her.” Claire said, trying to take control of the situation.
“Coming, coming. Bye Em, see you in 2 weeks.” Lauren said, grinning.
“Yeah, see you in 2 weeks.” Emily smiled back as she watched her friend leave again.
Lauren and Nick walked hand in hand, their suitcases on the trolley that both had one hand on each. Claire was stood to Lauren, also hand in hand with Joe but they weren’t pushing a trolley as their luggage had been loaded on with Lauren’s and Nick’s.
“Claire, im going to see your mum when we get home.” Lauren said smiling.
“Well, im going to see your mum too.” Claire replied with a smile on her face.
“Uhm, why are you going to see each others mums?” Joe asked confused.
“Because Claire loves my mum and I love Claire’s mum. But we love our own mums more. Claire’s mums adopted me, kind of, and my mums kind of adopted Claire.” Lauren explained with a shrug.
“Basically, you think of each others mums as your second mum?” Nick asked, looking just as confused as Joe.
“Yup.” Claire and Lauren answered together grinning.
“Uhm, this is gunna sound weird, but have either of you got a big brother?” Joe asked me and Claire.
“I do.” I cheered, smiling.
“I don’t, why?” Claire asked.
“Because I don’t do well under the big brother thing.” Joe said, looking sheepish.
“Kieran’s younger than you but he’s bigger. Be nice and he’ll be nice.” Lauren said with a shrug.
“Ill keep that in mind.” Joe said wearily.
“You don’t have anything to worry about, Kieran’s a big teddy bear really.” Claire said, giggling a little.
“Are you sure? I mean, I messed up with Lauren big time, he wont try to kill me or anything?” Nick asked, suddenly looking pale.
“He wont hurt you, well he might if your horrible. Joe you don’t have to worry about anything except maybe a little, you hurt Lauren or Claire and ill break your nose. But Nick, I cant promise anything.” Lauren said giggling at the look on the boys faces.
“We’re kidding.” Claire laughed, making Lauren burst into laughter.
“What?” Joe and Nick said, looking shocked.
“We were joking. Calm down.” Claire said, still laughing.
“Well, kind of joking. He might try to be the big brother, but he wont hurt you, only if you hurt one of us will you ever get hurt.” Lauren grinned.
“Ive hurt you.” Nick whispered beside me.
“I wont let him hurt you Nick, you need your pretty boy face.” Lauren laughed.
“Good.” Nick said, trying to act brave.
“Oh come on.” Lauren said, pushing the trolley and tugging on Nick’s hand.
The 2 couples walked along in silence then, Claire and Lauren being quite because they didn’t want people to realise they were English, Joe being quite because he was too busy thinking about how lucky he was to have Claire and Nick thinking about how he really needed to show Lauren’s brother, Kieran, that he wont ever hurt Lauren again.
When they had sorted out their luggage, they went to a Starbucks so Claire could get a hot chocolate, Joe could get a coffee and Nick could get drink, even though he didn’t know what he wanted. Lauren waited outside of the starbucks, texting her mum. She knew paparazzi would be around so she tried her best to not draw much attention to herself, of course this failed when her phone began to ring, blaring out ‘Untouched’ by the Veronicas. Grumbling, Lauren answered the phone and spoke quickly to her mum. Regretting having text her mum, Lauren leant against the wall while she told her mum it was in fact her and not somebody else.
“Mum, seriously its me. I have to put on a voice.” Lauren tried to explain.
“No you don’t, speak normally.” Her mum demanded.
“I cant, were at the airport and the paparazzi are waiting to get pictures of us.” Lauren mumbled.
“Talk normally now Lauren Stephanie.” Lauren’s mum shouted down the phone.
“I cant mum. Look its me, same old Lauren, I just…” Lauren broke off suddenly, after seeing some paparazzi taking her picture.
The man behind the camera heard her say her name and was now calling her.
“Crap.” Lauren mumbled. “Mum I have to go, ill see you later bye.” With that she hung up her phone and walked into the Starbucks.
Lauren instantly hid her face in Nick’s chest, not wanting to tell him that the paparazzi now knew her name but knowing he had to know.
“Nick.” Lauren mumbled.
“Yeah honey.” Nick said, gently rubbing her back.
“Uhm, I have something to tell you.” Lauren said, her face still burried in Nick’s chest.
“Not another tattoo.” Nick joked.
“No worse, I kind of just let me name slip out there.” Lauren said, hiding her face even more.
“What do you mean?” Nick asked, confusion knitting his brows together.
“Well, my mum rang and I answered. She was telling me off for putting on a voice and then I said its me, the same old Lauren. And the paparazzi were there and one of them heard my name and started calling me.” Lauren admitted.
“Oh great, look, just ignore them if they call you. Don’t look up or anything.” Nick said, his hand moving in circular motions on Lauren’s back.
“Ok.” Lauren said, annoyed at herself.
“What’s going on?” Claire asked as she walked over, hot chocolate in her hand.
“I let my name slip out there. They know it now.” Lauren admitted to Claire.
“That sucks.” Claire said before taking a sip of her steaming hot, hot chocolate.
“I know.” Lauren mumbled, before grabbing the coffee that Nick had just ordered and walking out with him.
“Can I have my coffee now?” Nick asked Lauren.
“Only if you have a chewing gum before you kiss me again.” Lauren smirked.
“Fine.” Nick said smiling.
“Good.” Lauren said, handing Nick his coffee and then walking into the small shop next door.
Nick followed Lauren into the little newsagents and waited for her while she chose magazines and a drink. Lauren picked up 3 magazines, she got Rolling Stones, Seventeen and People magazine. After getting the magazines, she went to the small fridge and got a bottle of water, before walking to the checkout and paying for her things.
“Here.” Nick said, trying to pay for Lauren’s things.
“Nu huh, stick that money back in your pocket now.” Lauren said pushing Nick’s hand away and handing her money to the man before the till.
The man took the money and then handed Lauren her things in a little bag. Lauren thanked him and then walked out, followed by an annoyed looking Nick.
“Why didn’t you let me pay for it?” Nick snapped once they were out the shop.
“Because I pay for my own things. You should no that, every person who try’s to give me money gets ignored.” Lauren said before shrugging and sitting down next to Claire.
“So, I was trying to be nice.” Nick said, sitting down next to Lauren, his expression hard and unreadable.
“I know you were. If you hadn’t have bit my head off the second we walked out of the shop I would of thanked you and explained.” Lauren said, grumpily putting the magazines in to her bag.
Lauren opened the bottle of water and drank some before crossing her arms across her chest and ignoring everyone around her.
Sorry about the mess up
I keep doing that :S
