"hey lauren.. what are you doing here?" hayden said as he opened his front door.
"well ya see, i have to say something." she said walking in and heading towards the living room where she sat on the couch.

hayden closed the door and followed behind her taking a seat beside her.

"so what is it?" hayden asked, the situation giving him deja vu.
"ok.. wow. this is harder than i expected." lauren struggled to let out.
hayden put his hand on her shoulder and tried to grab her attention with his eyes, "hey, you know you can tell me anything right?" also giving a soft reassuring smile.

this caused lauren to soften up. she didn't know how to put it into words so she said the first words that came to mind.
"i like you. a lot." hayden tried to speak but she continued, "no don't say anything, let me finish. i've felt like this for a while now about a year after we moved here i guess. but you were always with kenzie. and that was a thing before i got here so i just kept quiet. and now i'm rambling. but you're so cute, and kind, you make me smile, and laugh, i just like being around you. and i like you."

hayden just sat there with a blank expression on his face so you couldn't really tell what he was thinking but he was in shock.
"ok.. now you can say something. anything." lauren said nervously.

hayden snapped out of whatever trance he was in and kissed her. it was a soft, gentle kiss to let her know that he returned the feelings. he slowly let go and spoke, "i like you too."
which made lauren smile. "a lot." he added trying to mock her making her playfully hit him on the shoulder.

"what about mandla?" hayden asked remembering the instagram post.
"i only did that to make you jealous." lauren said while blushing.
"it worked." hayden said giving her a sly smirk, pulling her back into a more passionate kiss.
