Narrative:

Controller told us to exit runway 30 by turning left on taxiway a. I turned left onto runway 25R instead as he said expedite as an aircraft was on final. I thought it was on final for runway 30, it was not. It was on runway 25R. I wish the controller had said expedite through the intersection, turn left on taxiway a. The aircraft on runway 25R was instructed to go around. After we exited runway 25R, I saw the aircraft on final for runway 25R. Even if it had landed, there would not have been a problem.
