I Told You So (Invite)

[danedynamite]

Lauren thought that maybe it was good to invite Megan out here, but Lauren wanted to make it look like she wanted to give Megan a "holiday" instead of flat out admitting that she needed her. Pride one of the seven deadly sins and one that Lauren had an abundance of, as well as many of the other deadly sins too I might add.

"Sure, I'll call Megan later."

Lauren then thought about Sarah staying here and in this mansion there was surely too much space for Lauren alone.

"Of course you can stay here, it's a big place. Actually the company is nice. As for swimming I am not so sure about, paparazzi are everywhere you know I can't be seen beating you can I?"

Lauren joked as she was a horrid swimmer and would lose to a one armed woman. Still some time relaxing in the water might not be such a bad thing.

"Let me just go fix myself up."

[Sarah Andrews]

"Ok. I guess I better do the same. Meet you out there in ten? "

Instantly, both women nodded to one another as they got up from their seats at a slow pace. The course of the preceding conversation must had taken a toll on the both of them. Lauren went on her way to get prepared, and Sarah made her way towards the living area to do the same. Making her way to her luggage, she lifted the larger of the bags onto a nearby love seat and opened it up to retrieve her swimming attire for the evening. Along with it came it her cell phone. She quickly flipped it open and noticed she had 2 missed calls. Not even bothering to check whom had phoned her, she placed the other removed articles of clothing back into the bag, before zipping it back closed.

Placing it back on the floor for the time being, she quickly scanned the area, before making her way back towards the kitchen area. She had noticed that there was a bathroom near the patio door on the back of the house earlier, and figured there would be as good a place to change as any. Making her way there she finally checks her missed calls. The first one was Jason calling from the set of his latest movie venture, and the second one...

"..."

She stopped walking slowly, seeing that Cross had called only minutes after Jason. Around the time that she got here actually. She quickly glanced towards the stairs that led up to Lauren's master suite she thought. She was probably in the process of getting undressed and "re-dressed" for their swimming exhibition in a few minutes.

Not wasting another second, she stepped towards the door of the bathroom and entered, the phone already dialing back Cross' number as she fumbled to get undressed as quickly as she could. She didn't want Lauren to hear her talking to Cross, if he answered so she had to be quick.

The phone seemed to ring on forever, with no answer. Soon after the answering portion of the call had made itself apparent and she spoke into the phone as quietly and quickly as she could as she kept on getting ready...

"Cross, I'm here with Lauren. Look I can't talk right now, I'll give you a call back around midnight. Just be around to answer this time? Ok? Love you."

And with that the phonecall was ended and placed on the edge of the sink as she finished her pre swimming ritual of sorts. Within minutes she was all done and ready, and stepped from the bathroom with her casual clothing in hand, and all "bikini'd" out. She stepped down the patio door, opened it and stepped out into the open before sliding the door back closed...

Forgetting her phone...In the bathroom.
