"This is it" I say pointing to my apartment complex
"I know" she laughs. "I drop Sam off all the time"
"Oh yeah" I laugh. "Forgot about that for a second"
"...We should hang out, just the three of us, like old times" she says
"Three?" I say
"Yeah" She says
"So no Noah I'm guessing" I say
"Oh no- he can come, I just meant-" she starts
"I know" I say
"How's that going anyways" she asks
"Good" I smile. "He's good for me"
"He's" She says
"Yeah Lauren, He's" I say
"It's just so weird seeing you with a guy" she says
"Is it though?" I laugh
"He doesn't like me does he" She laughs
"Not even slightly" I say
"Damn" She laughs. "But I guess I haven't given him a reason to"
"No you haven't" I say. "He's seem petty Lauren mostly"
"Petty Lauren isn't pretty" she says
"I think I'd know that more than anyone" I say
"I've apologized so many times though, what else does he want me to do" she says
"He doesn't even want me hanging out with you" I say
"Oh so he's intimidated by me" she smirks
"No he just doesn't trust you. There's nothing to be intimidating by Lo" I say
"Ouch" She says
"I mean I'm with him now, not you... I want to be with him" I say
"Right...." she says
"I should go" I say as I open the car door
"See you tomorrow" she smiles
"Yeah" I say
-
"Who was that?" Noah says as I open the door
"What?" I say surprised. "Why are you all wet?!" I ask
"I was in the shower, who was that?" He says
"Lauren... she was dropping me off" I say. "..Were you watching me?!"
"I heard a noise outside so I put a towel on and came to see what it was" he says. "Why was she dropping you off"
"We went our for dinner- Us and a few other producers and stuff" I lie
"Oh" he smiles. "So you two are getting along?"
"I'm gonna be working with her everyday for the next month or so, so should probably start getting used to her right" I say
"Right" he smiles. "I should probably go finish up"
"Yeah" I say as he walks towards the bathroom. "And Noah?"
"Yeah?" He says
"Jealousy's not a cute look on you" I say
"I'm not jealous, just worried" he says
"Ok well I can take care of myself, thanks" I say
"Noted" He says as he closes the bathroom door
"Ugh" I roll my eyes
"Hey Y/nn" Sam says as he closes the fridge door
"Wtf Sam how long have you been there?!" I say
"Long enough" he says. "You were out with Lauren?"
"Yeah, we got dinner" I say
"Y/nn I know she kissed you" he says
"So?" I say
"So, if you're gonna dump Noah do it quick, he's fragile" he says
"Sam I don't want her" I laugh
"...Why did you lie to Noah?" He says
"What?" I say
"You went out with Lauren and only Lauren not with other producers and stuff" he says
"You know how jealous Noah gets Sam" I say
"It's ok to still have feelings for her Y/nn, she may be a bitch but she was your first bitch love" he says
"Don't call her a bitch" I say
"Oops" He says
"Sam I'm happy with Noah, I was done with her the second she started acting the way she did all those years ago" I say
"Fine. Just don't let her get to you" he says
"I won't" I say
"Shes trying to get to you" he says
"I'm aware" I say
"Ok" he says
"Ok" I say
"Good talk" He says
"Fuck off" I say
